Sipz Fusion Cafe

The name is retarded, but this is one of my favorite places to eat in San Diego. Like most cafes here, it's in a horrible strip mall by the freeway.

This is one of the few places in San Diego that's all vegetarian. Usually if you don't feel like eating meat, you have a couple odd things to choose from or a salad, but here all the top items are meatless. There's a variety things to choose from, all good. Vietnamese, Chinese, Italian, Thai, and combinations of these (the fusion part). The chef is pretty innovative. I think it started off as a boba tea house, but evolved into a restaurant - so the boba tea is really good.

Here are a couple examples of the good stuff-

Orange "chicken" - I'm not sure what it is, nothing like chicken, but it's really good. Stir-fried with spicy sauce and fresh orange slices

Japanese fire noodles - my favorite, strangely lumpy, asymmetrical clear noodles with all kinds of vegetables and a sweet-spicy sauce

Vietnamese Pho - somehow they've recreated Pho, thin sliced meat in meat broth, without meat. It's actually better than regular pho, not as salty, and has the usual plate of mint leaves, hoisen sauce, chili paste...

Everything's very earth friendly, sustainable, profits donated, employees taken care of, etc., but patrons aren't the usual eco-head, dreadlocked, hemp wearing types, everyone eats there. It's definitely a place to try if you're in town, something unique to this area.
