My friend invited me to an Indian buffet in San Marcos for lunch. The food was great, and they had a wide variety of dishes for me to try. I’ve had Indian food before, but I don’t remember much about it, so it was nice to see the names of the dishes displayed. Of course, I tried everything! The staff at the restaurant were friendly and kept checking if everything was okay. I also loved that they had both indoor and outdoor seating, creating a really nice ambiance.

Amazing Indian food, quality and service is there every time. Price is very fair for everything. The curry, custard and butter chicken are some of the best items on the menu. Will gladly come back every time I’m craving some good Indian! 🫕🥘

Such a cute sushi spot in San Marcos! This was my first time coming here and we (my girlfriends and I) got a fresh roll with lemon, a salmon and tuna roll with ponzu, and hamachi slices with truffle ponzu, which was so fresh and clean on the palate! The atmosphere was bright and fun, and the service was quick. The waitress recommended the best tasting sake which wasn’t too sweet or bitter. There isn’t much parking on the street so we had to park in a parking garage down the street which is free for 2 hours. The staff were happy to validate our parking. Overall really cute spot to have a sushi night out with the girls or go on a nice date!

We came here for lunch on a Friday. Service was a little slow but otherwise we had no issues. The restaurant menu is a mix of Japanese and Korean foods. We ordered the miso ramen bowl, the chicken karaage bao, the takoyaki and one of the rolls (either ninja or red dragon, I can't remember!). The food was great! The quantities were big. The bao was falling apart a little bit, which I don't like, but the karaage was delicious. The ramen was definitely a good miso ramen but lots of veggies and meat. We ended up taking about half of that home. The roll was good. The takoyaki was decent but I've had better ones. We wanted to finish lunch within an hour and it took us approximately that long to do it. I would recommend coming here if you're looking for decent food and want a little bit of everything (sushi/rolls/ramen/apps, etc).

Wonderful spot! Yummy Banh Mi!! We got the grilled chicken and grilled pork Banh my and an egg roll. Tasted super fresh. Bread was perfect. Super customer service to. Lovely family owned shop.

I tried an assortment of different food. Some were really good and others were not. The Special Banh Mi is pretty good. I liked the flavor, the mix of ingredients and the jalapeno was fresh and spicy. The Shrimp Banh Mi was ok. It could have used a little more shrimp. The Spring roll was ok too although the presentation was messy, it didn't look neat. The Matcha tea boba was pretty bad. I didn't even drink the whole thing. My wife tried it and didn't like it either. But service was great. The guy at the register was friendly and we got our food quickly.

This Curry Craft is absolutely great!! First of all super nice and welcoming service! I caught the buffet near ending time and the food was still fresh and hot! I was so happy to catch it. The options are great, butter chicken and the sauce and the white meat chicken used is terrific! Such good flavors in all the options as well. Also the place is VERY clean which is awesome to see! Definitely check out this Curry Craft, everything I had was delicious! :) Amazing quality for the food options, tasty marinated flavors for each type of chicken option too. Nice sides and naan bread too! Loved the meal!

Stopped by today for lunch and found out they had weekday lunch buffet $16.99. It had vegetable pakora, tandoori chicken, different curries (chickpea, tikka masala, paneer, goat) and Jassi was awesome and was the server handling the whole restaurant. He brought us naan(which was on the thinner side) and there was also rice and salad.

Fresh spring rolls with tofu, mint & basil. A great lunch. Always excellent.

Best curry in north county. Period. I’m a curry fanatic And some Thai places just can’t get the curry right but this place hands down is one of the best I’ve had in my Life! The panang curry is amazing

I am from a small town in Michigan with one little panaderia that isn’t that great, so whenever I travel, I make it a point to try different panaderia wherever I go. I am very picky about my tres leches and the tres leches here is to die for!! It is soaked with the perfect amount of leche and not soggy (I personally hate soggy tres leches). Definitely some of the best tres leches I’ve ever had!!! The pan is also good too! The conchas have good flavor. I especially loved the mini orejas! Good flavor with just enough crunch but not too hard either. If I ever come to San Diego/San Marcos area again, I will definitely be back!

The Tres Leches is the best and pan dulce is fantastic!!!! Very affordable as well. Huge selection of baked goods and various other confections.

Dropped in for a late lunch at Sammy's in San Marcos. Had one of the best burgers of my life- the Wagyu cheeseburger, with crispy fries on the side. The wait staff was absolutely stellar and friendly. Five stars for the service, and much appreciation for Josh our server.

I always love the salads at this restaurant. Simply amazingly tasty and flavorful. Been coming to this place since they had their place over in Carlsbad. So about 15 years of amazing salads. I have never had a bad experience. The staff are always funny and personable while being professionally courteous. Jessie in particular was a delight to have as our server the birthday sundae she surprised my mom and I with was a really nice surprise. Thank you again from the both of us Jessie! I hope to have many more years of salads in the future! Oh, and since no one else was on the patio we had a bunch of birds tweeting at us from the roof!

I LOVE this little place!! Best Go to for quick delicious Thai food!! They use non toxic reusable or recyclable to go containers! I cant say enough, have eaten here many times, NEVER disappointed!

This restaurant has the right ingredients and they know the correct amounts to use. When I smell the food I feel like I am back in Thailand. Very well done 👏 The service is always on time, friendly and with good recommendations. The sample platter is great to share if you are 4+. Soups were full of flavor. Everyone wanted more! We tried a couple of curries with pork. I can still savor them. Have to go back soon. Thanks!

We have ordered from MLB for takeout on numerous occasions. The fish tacos are tasty. The octopus-shrimp cocktail, beef-shrimp quesadilla, the guero loco and tostadas loco are all fantastic. Unbeatable price for top quality fresh seafood! Dine-in experience is even better. Best Mexican food all around!

One of my coworkers put me on to this place. Amazing food, I love their fish tacos, their consome and the chipotle sauce. Absolutely cannot beat the fish tacos here. The ceviche tostada is really nice as well. I’ve tried the adobada taco as well which is good. I also like how they give a good amount of limes to eat with the tacos. Also I always wash the food down with horchata.

Hott Catering for Our Wedding Party and Venue – A Memorable Experience! We recently had the pleasure of working with Hott Catering for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the experience. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive to our needs. They made sure to understand our vision for the event and helped bring it to life perfectly. The food was absolutely outstanding! Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Our guests raved about the variety and quality of the menu – from appetizers to the main courses and even the dessert spread, everything was cooked to perfection. It was clear that they use fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the chefs really know how to make every bite memorable. In addition to the incredible food, Hott Catering also provided impeccable service. The staff was prompt, courteous, and efficient, ensuring that everything ran smoothly throughout the event. They were always on hand when needed, without being intrusive, allowing us to enjoy our day stress-free. As for the venue, it was the perfect setting for our celebration. The space was beautiful, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made our wedding feel intimate yet grand. The venue was well-maintained and had everything we needed to accommodate our guests comfortably. Overall, we highly recommend Hott Catering and their venue for anyone planning a wedding or event. The combination of exceptional food, top-tier service, and a beautiful venue made our special day truly unforgettable. Thank you to the entire team for helping us create the perfect celebration!

HOTT Catering was one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding day. The food was absolutely delicious and I knew our guests would love it when we first had our tasting. Chef Tho, Alexus, and Amanda have all been really great to work with and communicate with. They were really kind and professional. They were also able to accommodate any of our guests with special diets or allergies, which was really important to us. So many of our wedding guests raved about how great the food was and that it was the best meal they’ve ever had at a wedding. I like that our wedding will stand out in their memories as having the best food, lol.

I love this place! Sushi was fresh, staff were friendly, and service was amazing! I highly recommend calamari tempura and mushroom special. The salmon sashimi was exceptionally fresh and had a buttery texture which literally melted in my mouth! The uni was so rich and creamy. Their rolls were also impressive! I’ll definitely be returning to try more dishes. Thank you for the quality food :)

Our new sushi spot! Everyone working here is so friendly and on top of it. Sushi is very fresh and their pricing is reasonable, especially their happy hour (3-6). We followed Christina here after she left her previous sushi place, she’s amazing! We have been here a couple of times already and our family will be back again soon.

They forgot my chowmein somehow and the guy at the window didn’t speak to us at all

The food is usually alright but this panda is especially stingy with portions. The one in new braunfels by creekside is so much better in regards to servings and service. They always forget every sauce for online orders as well. My wife's broccoli beef had 4 small pieces of beef. The white rice is always dry at this location. The service is unenthusiastic, I hate my life college and highschool kids and it shows. If you have a choice go to a different panda. This one's mediocre.
