    Without a doubt the best meal we’ve had in San Diego so far! The food was inventive and delicious, the prices were reasonable, and the service was excellent. The chef/owner even came out to talk to us and served several dishes personally! Would give this restaurant 6 stars if possible….

    Everything about Choi’s is done with the highest level of professionalism, creativity and care. This is one of the best restaurants in San Diego. The food is high quality, authentic but inventive. The drinks are unique and crafty. Choi puts personal attention into every detail. Even the parking (under ground, around the corner) is validated for your convenience.

    Great food and great service. Early seating made for a quiet start but the restaurant filled up by 8pm. No issues, I’d recommend and go again.
