1. Barbarella Restaurant & Bar
La Jolla, CA 92037
(858) 454-7373
Categories:
Italian,
French,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhood: La Jolla Shores
I've been wanting to come here for a while, but then I totally forgot about it. Stumbled upon it accidentally while on a walk with my bf and dog. We had originally planned on walking from UTC to Bird Rock, but decided on La Jolla Shores instead and…More »
2. Thai Pan Cuisine
Another Yelp find.
Thai Pan combo #3: spicy basil thai noodle with 2 hand rolls.
The hand rolls were pretty blah even with the sauce that was provided. The noodles, on the other hand, were very good.
Fried bean cakes with sweet and sour sauce and…More »
3. SD Sushi Ninjas
(213) 605-1089
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Food Stands
Neighbourhoods: University City, La Jolla
I don't know what I was thinking.
One night, while my bf and I were at Geisel I called to see if I could place an order for delivery. I was told that they weren't open yet so to call back and delivery would take about 40 mins. Well, I was pretty…More »
4. Sipz Fusion Cafe
San Diego, CA 92117
(858) 279-3747
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Gluten-Free
Neighbourhood: Clairemont
I've been here a few times; once for dine-in and the other times for take out. Even though I had a stellar meal this time, I can't give it 5 stars because it's a hit or miss with some dishes. My bf and I've come to the conclusion that as long as you…More »
5. Tender Greens
San Diego, CA 92101
(619) 226-6254
Categories:
American (New),
Soup,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhoods: Liberty Station, Point Loma
3.75 stars.
Cafeteria-style restaurant in a nice shopping plaza. You order at one end, pay at the other, and less than 5 mins. later get your food on a tray. A glorified fast food setup? Maybe, but the food is anything but!
My bf and I both ordered the…More »
6. The Nail Lounge of La Jolla
Came here for a pedicure thanks to Yelp's great reviews! I am not a mani/pedi kinda gal. The first time I got a mani was when I was about 11 or 12 years old, with my mom. It was a painful experience. The lady poked and prodded, making my fingers…More »

Categories:
Pizza,
American (New),
Pubs
Neighbourhood: Hillcrest
3.5 stars.
Vegan friendly, courteous staff (not very knowledgeable about the menu though), relaxed atmosphere, cute overhead lighting with empty beer/wine bottles as lamp shades, and yummy thin crust pizzas.
Ordered two pizzas: the mountain meadow…More »
8. Freebirds
2.5 stars.
Comparable to Chipotle.
Cayenne flavored tortilla was a dud.
They have "pot brownies."
Stingy with the guacamole.
Hippy vibe.
9. Truluck's
San Diego, CA 92122
(858) 453-2583
Categories:
Seafood,
Steakhouses
Neighbourhood: University City
I was anticipating doing some cooking for Thanksgiving this year, but my bf felt so bad about last year (he had to work and we ended up eating frozen food! Our only saving grace was a homemade vegan pumpkin pie) that he suggested we go to Truluck's…More »

10. Spice & Rice Thai Kitchen
This place totally hit the spot. I remember getting take-out from here a looong time ago. This time, we dined in and it was a fantastic meal!!
I always get Thai Iced Tea when dining at Thai places. So unoriginal I know, but if you can't get this…More »
11. Osteria Romantica
La Jolla, CA 92037
(858) 551-1221
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhood: La Jolla Shores
Not bad, but not the greatest. Bf and I were initially aiming for Barbarella, but we decided to try a new place. Since it was Superbowl Sunday, the area was pretty dead. We sat outside with our doggie and the heat lamps on.
The server brought out…More »
12. Apollonia Greek Bistro
San Diego, CA 92122

Categories:
Greek,

Neighbourhood: University City
Seafood night! We ordered the Aegean swordfish sandwich, swordfish kebabs, the shrimp scorpio, and the Apollonia medley for dessert.
Everything we had was yummy and totally filling! I think my favorite dish was the shrimp scorpio. It reminded me of a…More »

14. Geisel Library
My bf lives within walking distance to UCSD. We needed to get some stuff done over the weekend, but staying home to work/study wasn't ideal as there were way too many distractions, e.g., TV, the Internet (angry birds, anyone?), and bf's cute Lab. I'm…More »
15. UCSD Biomedical Library
I love libraries, period. I have to have absolute quiet when I'm reading or trying to transcribe a lecture from my digital recorder so a library is the ideal place. I like visting various libraries because they're not all created equal.
Since my bf…More »

Category:
Gas & Service Stations
Neighbourhood: University City
To the people who complain that this particular location is expensive: it's in La Jolla people. Everything is more expensive here. Get over it.
I think it's cheaper than other gas stations in the area. It's only a few mins. from my bf's place so…More »

Categories:
Sandwiches,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: La Jolla
How can something as simple as a salad and panini make me so happy?! I've been craving carbs recently and lots of it. It's so true what they say about your body wanting to eat more during the winter! I had subway the night before and didn't feel like…More »
18. Peet's Coffee & Tea
This place is soooo loud! I don't think I've ever experienced this deafening noise at a Starbucks. This is NOT the place for reading or studying or for anything that requires concentration. It is just way too noisy.
Bf ordered the Cafe Americano and…More »
19. Sprinkles Cupcakes
I looove this location! There's hardly ever a long line. So unlike the Beverly Hills and Newport Beach location!
S'more cupcake: Blake Lively's creation. It was just ok. Not too sweet though so if you don't have a massive sweet tooth like I do, you…More »

My bf and I were at the Starbucks a block away, studying/working hard. We got the munchies, but didn't find anything at Starbucks very appealing.
I strolled on down to this place and ordered:

This is an Asian Fusion restaurant located just outside the Hyatt alongside The Melting Pot and Fleming's. We walked inside and the first things I noticed were garish kimonos on display and a huge Tengu mask (http://www.nohmask.com...) on a wall…More »

Categories:

Neighbourhood: Pacific Beach
What a great find! A huge thumbs up to my bf for finding this place! I'm usually the one to find new places for us to try. I think he found it on Yelp!
It was a Sat. night and we were jonesin' for a good fish sandwich. There are so many options! Taco,…More »
23. Fins Mexican Eatery
Bf and I both ordered the veggie burrito w/o cheese. It was nothing special, really a generic burrito. It tasted fresh and filled us up so 3 solid stars. It was a good sized burrito with beans, lettuce, guacamole, and tomatoes. The salsas were ok…More »
24. Vallarta Express Mexican Eatery
The veggie burrito has actual veggies inside, much to some people's chagrin. I enjoyed it. It was a nice change from the usual shredded lettuce and tomato burrito. It had grilled onions, zucchinis, bell peppers, rice, and black beans. We asked for…More »
25. Prepkitchen
The dinner entree menu is very limited and the tapas are only available until 6pm which is way early. I think I ordered the most generic meal from their menu. There just weren't that many options to choose from.
Dad had the blue plate special which…More »
26. Harry's Coffee Shop
La Jolla, CA 92037
(858) 454-7381
Categories:
Diners,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: La Jolla
I love breakfast! It is, afterall, the most important meal of the day.
Harry's is a quaint diner. The walls are littered with paintings and pictures. One side of the wall is covered with everything Baseball from pictures to commemorative plates to…More »
27. Yan Can Asian Bistro & Bar
The only thing my bf and I could eat were the veggie spring rolls. Everything else had meat or eggs in it. The spring rolls and the cabbage slaw were pretty damn good!
The slaw was spicy, fresh, and so flavorful! The spring rolls were very greasy, but…More »
28. Five Guys Burgers and Fries
My bf and I like trying new places together. Too bad our latest venture was this place. He and I had both never stepped foot inside a Five Guys joint. Now, I don't know what service was like since I didn't do the ordering. My bf said the set up was…More »

Categories:

Neighbourhood: La Jolla
Still a solid 4 stars!
Medium combo sandwich-this time, instead of just a bite I actually had half the sandwich and it was the clear winner amongst all the dishes that night! The dungeness crab was nicely chilled and the shrimp wasn't overcooked. We…More »

30. Jasmine Seafood Restaurant
San Diego, CA 92111
(858) 268-0888
My bf loves dim sum and we've come here a handful of times together. There's usually a wait, especially on the weekends during peak lunch hours. You don't want to come too early (they start serving dim sum at 9:30am) because they may not have…More »
31. Emerald Chinese
I've been here 2 or 3 times and I gotta say I prefer Jasmine's over this place for dim sum. The decor is nicer and there are more ladies wheeling carts of various plates. Also, the ladies there are more willing to speak English. I have never given…More »

33. Little Korea
This place opened in 2008 and it only has 20-something reviews, some of which are only 1 or 2 stars. Hmmmm...either I have a skewed view of good Korean food (which is doubtful as I've had my fair share of Korean cuisine) or the owners have actually…More »
34. Nobu
Came here on the last night of Restaurant Week.
BF opted for the vegetarian prix fixe meal which they didn't have written down in the menu, but am glad it wasn't on there because it made for a nice surprise and boy, did they deliver!!!

35. Andres Latin Market
We came here in search of aji amarillo paste so we could make our own tomato ceviche from Nobu's cookbook. It's ahi amareeyo. At first, I thought it was a Japanese-Latin American product and was pronouncing it all Japanese-y like aji (mackerel).

We came here on a recommendation. We pulled into a strip mall and saw the tiny restaurant whose windows were blacked out. Kind of uninviting and suspect. We had reservations, but when we walked in there was only one other couple at the counter.…More »
