Grains - San Diego

I'm surprised this place doesn't get slammed. I've been here a dozen times. Food is always delicious. Atmosphere is nice as well! The way the seating is set up makes it easy to accommodate larger groups of friends as well.

We loved our trip to Grains! They are a vegan Thai restaurant with new American influences. Our favorite dishes were the Buffalo cauliflower and pad Thai, we also had the mushroom calamari (which tasted exactly like calamari) and the fettuccine dish. Overall great restaurant, nice staff, tasty food, and in a cute neighborhood.

Great food, really tasteful. Best Thai ever. Updated from previous review on 2023-05-28

This place is a fast causal restaurant with Asian fusion dishes that are all delicious. I’ve tried the buffalo cauliflower which is a delicious standard execution with ranch and veggies on the side, the Tokyo fries which are packed with incredible flavor and creamy-crunchy goodness, and the black pepper edamame which is simple and fantastic (worth licking your fingers! There’s beers on tap and other delicious alcoholic drinks including ciders which is the cherry on top. It hasn’t been busy either time I’ve gone, on the week or weekend. Give this place some well deserved business

We stumbled upon this gem through the happy cow app when we needed a dinner spot that had options my Omni husband would enjoy as well as my two vegan kids and me. This place did not disappoint! My husband got the pepper glazed “chicken” strips (breaded oyster mushrooms) and these were really, really good he loved them, I had the house salad which was delicious, we split the tofu nuggets that my eldest daughter loved, and the kids shared the off menu kids popcorn “chicken” (fried cauliflower this was REALLY good) and off menu kids pasta yummy as well. Everything sorta comes out when it’s ready which worked just fine for us since our kids were starving and needed something quick. We would 100% go back.
