Perfection to the last spoon-warm and friendly service 'till the end...experiences like these are hard to find in oriental place, but I've found them here. Introduced by a co-worker couple years ago, and now I'm hooked. The prices are very reasonable average at $6.00. I especially like their grilled chicken over rice. For appetizer, I like their shrimp paste wrapped with bean curd. Highly recommend Pho Ca Dao to all.
Pros: Best Egg Rolls in Town
Cons: 12 Miles a Way

First of all they always know how to welcome clients and put them at ease. David is a wonderful stylist who learns new techniques, methods and is fashion conscious. He exactly knows what I want every time and I am always happy with my new look. He enjoys working with people of all ages and backgrounds. What else can I add: Professionalism, Courtesy, Knowledge, Integrity, Trust and Experience…Two thumbs up.

Balboa Park is a large park with lots of different attractions to see. The San Diego Zoo is located in Balboa Park along with countless museums, a, restaurants and beautiful grounds. The Park is beautifully landscaped and is a heart warming feeling just to walk the grounds.
It's very easy to find. Parking is plentiful even with the numerous activities throughout the year. Balboa Park is definitely something you need to check out at least once in your life. Many weddings take place on the grounds of the park.

I went here to see a concert, it was the Band Joust. It was the coolest concert ever. The bands were sweet and the atmosphere was crazy. I liked the small location and kind of undergound feel, it was cool. This place is really cool and next concert they have im there for sure.

My wife and I were visiting from Houston, TX, and we actually felt we'd be dissappointed coming from a state who's Mexican food is the best in the land. However, we were greatly suprised with OTMC!!
The tortillas are fabulous and served too hot to handle, Texas could learn a lesson from these babies. We had guacomole and ceviche as starters and both were outstanding. Having been to El Agave two nights before where the avacodos were hard as green pears, we were concerned but ordered anyway. It couldn't have been better! The ceviche was very good, but not excellent. It contained only white fish (like the munu stated), but had great flavor and plenty of fish, unlike those that try to strech it by adding too much tomatoes and onion.
My wife designed her own plate with a chicken enchallida, a cheese enchallida, and a tostado. She was extremely impressed and didn't leave a morsel. I had the carnitas platter; unlike Texas carnitas it didn't have any sauce served on it, but the pork as tasty as it was.
After two margaritas each and the meal described above we walked out for $65 (including tip), feeling we had just finished a meal fit for a "Mexican" king. Two nights before we left El Agave with a $144 tab, and not nearly as impressed with the food quality.
Again, this comes from a couple of Texan's who eat Mexican food in restaurants at least 3 times a week. Next time in San Diego, we'll have OTMC on our agenda for a couple of nights.
Pros: Food, Service, Value for Money
Cons: Parking, Wait, Noisy

I love this cute little pet boutique. The owners are very sweet and personable (although their little chihuahua isn't so much...just joking!). They have a limited selection, but the stuff they have is just fantastic. I love getting treats, toys and trendy collars for my doggies. Everytime I go in there, they remember me and my dogs names'. Very impressive, highly recommended. You can even email them a photo of your pets and they'll include it in their slideshow that runs on a bigscreen behind the register. How wonderful!

The sales staff was very helpful. They explained every detail. I told them I was going less than 5 miles away, but they still charged a fuel fee, which was the only drawback. I guess it is understandable these days... The crew was very helpful. They worked hard the entire day, didnt take a bunch of unecessary breaks, and didnt damage any of the my things. I would reccoment them to all my friends as a great san diego mover. Thanks Manpower Movers for the great experience!
Pros: easy to work with, no hassle
Cons: fuel fee, even if it is short distance

All you roller coaster aficionados already know this. While the ride is not long it is worth it. If you have never ridden a wood coaster you have to give it a shot, it's not just the ups and downs. It's the entire experience, the wood shaking, the noise...and the fear of it falling all apart. Well this coaster is very safe for all. There are amazing views from the top of the coaster; you can see all of mission and pacific beach. Fun time for all!

Green Harbor Cruise Review
Although I have lived in San Diego for the better portion of my life, it has not been until recently that I realized I have never truly immersed myself in the true sights of San Diego. Yes, I have gone to the beaches, been to Sea World, the World Famous Zoo and the other classics, but, anything else that sounded remotely touristy, I have, until now, overlooked. However, I am moving soon and think it's time to put my pretentions aside and actually enjoy every little bit of this city. So, I am going to put myself in a tourist's shoes and live up this city as if I first came here. For my first plan of attack, I googled San Diego.
After perusing the various tourist websites, I decided I wanted to start with a general overview of the city, and the bay would be the perfect place to start. I had attended Hornblower Cruises sporadically throughout middle school and high school functions and was vaguely familiar with their harbor cruises on the bay, so, I signed myself up.
Initially, I did feel like a bit of an outsider- family-less, tourist gear-less, and generally out of place. In fact, I may have been the only San Diegan on board the Adventure Hornblower aside from the friendly staff, but it didn't matter because I really did have an incredible time. While on board, I learned that the Hornblower Cruise, originally known as the Harbor Cruise, recently revamped itself to become the "Green Harbor Cruise" in keeping with the eco-friendly focus of today. The narration, décor, trashcans, even cups had "gone green" and the entire ship had a fresh look and atmosphere. The narrator talked about everything from the environmental actions of the navy to the historic USS Midway to her personal favorite restaurants in Coronado, and yes, I admit it, I learned a bit more than I had expected and may have even written a few of the restaurants names down. I almost immediately forgot that here I was, sitting on a boat with about 50 families by myself, because I was so interested in her stories, walking around the multiple layers of the ship, and just generally forgetting that I was only miles from my house.
The Green Harbor Tours have two separates routes, the North Route and the South Route, the latter providing views of Coronado, the coastline, and my new favorite, Naval Ships and other SpaWar technology south of the bridge. The phrase "harbor tour" may not be something a 10 year old boy gets giddy about but with the narration and up-close and personal views, I couldn't help but acting like a little boy and picturing myself part of it all. It was, in the words of a 10 year old, pretty awesome.
On top of that, the new green-conscious tours could almost be enough information to interest environmental science teachers or other classes that touch on eco-friendly matters. Adding the "green" to Harbor Tours opens up an entirely new target audience for Hornblower and I know I both learned and appreciated facts about San Diego's environmental efforts.
I left the cruise feeling quite proud of my new look on San Diego as my first tourist trial turned out to be a grand success.
Pros: Enjoyable for every age, entertaining and informative
Cons: Parking is limited

The Sharper Image has treated me so well for the past few years. Right when I walk in I see all of the new gadgets they have added and see people interested in what they do. I can do a circle around the store and have a fun time playing with their imaginative stuff. The cashiers are fast and really nice and I've gotten a lot of good customer service from them.
