Choi's

Visited Choi’s for a date night and had such an incredible experience. From the moment we sat down till we got our check, the staff were attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. Food was delicious (we had the oysters, octopus, braised short rib, and cod) and we loved their drinks (Busan Diego and danang skies). We were also pleasantly surprised when chef Choi came by to greet us and even knew our names. It was such a nice personal touch that wrapped up a lovely evening. We would definitely be back!

We found this place looking for a gluten free friendly place as I have a severe allergy. We were greeted by friendly staff and a calm, upscale, classy but casual atmosphere that was clean and inviting.

We ordered the shrimp crudo, the ling cod, and the crispy chicken. The crudo was fresh and unique, the ling cod melted in your mouth, and the chicken was crispy and juicy with a complex sweet and slightly spicy explosion of flavors.

Choi’s lunch service in San Diego presents a notably restrained menu, offering just three main dishes: a build-your-own hot stone bowl, Korean fried chicken, and a single beef preparation, accompanied by two dessert options. The limited scope places greater emphasis on execution and value. Our hot stone bowl arrived composed of jasmine-steamed rice, kimchi, avocado, cucumber, and mushrooms, paired with KBBQ chicken and birria. The dish is thoughtfully assembled and well seasoned, with each component cooked precisely. The KBBQ chicken stands out for its depth of flavor and tenderness, while the birria, though serviceable, lacks distinction. A chimichurri and a gochujang crema were our sauce selections. The chimichurri is vibrant and assertive, leaning slightly more acidic than traditional i

Very interesting Korean Fusion cuisine, very attentive staff, multilingual too!!, Chef came out to greet us and make sure every course was up to his standards.
