Reviews for Mein St. Asian Kitchen in San Diego, CA
I?m pretty happy with my Tofu Chow Mein. I?m a real Chinese, and I don?t expect to eat authentic Chinese food in Little Italy... Food Hall, as long as it tastes good, I?ll consider it a good food. Read more
Mein St. is one of Little Italy's little hidden food gems hiding away in that food hall. Everything there is pretty good, but... the service and consistency of the menu keeps me coming back. Charles (the head cook) is super polite and really puts care intohis meals. I've eaten a fair portion of the ramen, rice dishes, and highly recommend their salt and pepper wings if you enjoy alittle fried chicken every now and then. It's an experience there. My favorite of the ramens is the Mein St (in terms ofnumber of times I've ordered it), but the Seafood ramen is honestly DELICIOUS and I plan to order it more often in the future. All of the rice dishes are pretty great, and you can get everything a little spicier if that's what you enjoy. Again, try thesalt and pepper wings, people. Read more
My husband (who is not vegan) loves their ramen, so I decided to try their vegan alternatives. Since I switched to being vegan,... I was never able to eat orange chicken again (which I used to love) so I decided to give it a try (the chicken was replaced bytofu). I was pleasantly surprised as this dish was even better than I remembered. The tofu was really well prepared, and thedish arrived very quickly (and it was very warm). It makes me happy when restaurants make an effort to come up with alternativesfor their vegan clients. I will definitely be coming back for more! Read more
I?m pretty happy with my Tofu Chow Mein. I?m a real Chinese, and I don?t expect to eat authentic Chinese food in Little Italy... Food Hall, as long as it tastes good, I?ll consider it a good food. And this Chow Mein did it pretty good. They put a lot oftofu in the dish which is very nice. The noodles are udon noodles. The sauce is quite a lot, but it?s nice for me, as I have aheave taste. Anyways, if you search for a good American style Chinese food, here is not a bad choice. Read more
Not sure what a lot of the reviews are taking about but I really enjoyed my classic poke boll from this place. The ingredients... are fresh, fish had flavor, and all the sides perfectly complemented one another. Might be something they fixed recently but Ithink the poke at this place is something you should try out if you?re looking for it. Read more
Ramen was not good at all - we only had a few bites and stopped eating. We also ordered a bento box, the portion was really... small, taste was not good as well. Overall a bad first impression, we won?t be back. Read more
The place is very good to spend time with your friends. The neighborhood is really nice. But, a friend and I ordered ramen and... we couldn't finished them. His ramen was the vegetarian one and it was too salty. Mine was the mein st. ramen, and there wassomething in it that left a weird taste in my mouth, uncomfortable. Read more
Orange chicken is good, ramen is meh. Three stars due to crazy high prices ($17 for a dish an average size dish that is $8-10... other places) and the fact that EVERYTHING is single use even if eating on site. So much waste. Read more
