Smokin’ Hot Asian Kitchen

An excellent place. The food was amazing and the service was great. I ordered the Korean BBQ Short Ribs Platter and I loved it. The food was well prepared and the flavor was unique. The waitress was very helpful and kind. I highly recommend it and would definitely go back.

If you’re in San Diego and you haven’t been to this restaurant you are doing something wrong.
Let’s start by saying the restaurant is so BEAUTIFUL! The services is AMAZING! waitress and owner are amazing, so friendly, polite and dedicate. Now let’s talk about food!
FOOD IS DELICIOUS, omg this is the first restaurant I go and every dish I try is delicious/astounding!
We ordered the chicken Pho, Korean bbq short rib, mussels and shrimp pasta and oysters.
Woow everything was delicious, well seasoned and fresh. Definitely a must go, so sad we live in Boston and I can’t take this restaurant with me.
Will definitely coming back to San Diego to eat this delicious food again.

An unexpected pleasure. Inside and outside space were recently renovated with no expenses spared. We sat at outside counter enjoying the street activity and engaging in interesting conversations. Calamari, Steak Skewers, and Pho were excellent. With so many great choices in La Jolla, Smokin' Hot Asian Kitchen stands out.

I was just a student desperately needing a desk to do hold an unscheduled meeting. The owner personally brought out a stool for me to use at their outdoor tables.

I wasn't even their customer! This speaks volume to their genuine dedication in providing great service for their customers. I will definitely bring my family here in the future.
