Tucked away in an unassuming part of City Heights, So Saap is primarily a Laotian-Vietnamese restaurant with some Chinese dishes as well. The quality of this place significantly exceeded my expectations. The restaurant itself is built and decorated with care, which made it a pleasant place to dine in. The drinks were creative and not too sweet. And finally, the food was top notch. We both ordered off the holiday special menu and got surprisingly complex meals. The ribs in the photo were flavorful and the dipping sauce was one of the best tasting things I’ve ever had. The sweet and spicy salad complimented the meat really nicely. What makes this all even better is the prices are extremely reasonable. It’s rare to find value like this in San Diego. We will definitely be returning regularly.

Everyone is so kind and haven’t had a bad experience! I love getting crab fried rice and the portions are big enough for 2 ppl. My mom and I always go here when we get the chance. Yesterday was my brother first time coming and he loved the food. He got a ribeye order and we tried the meat and it was delicious. You also can play with your food’s spice level. Don’t even get me started with my drinks their so delicious. I always get the taro coconut cane and each time it’s delicious. It can be a little pricey but I believe it’s so worth it.

The Tom Kha is out of the world. LOVED the Pad Thai. The Lao Plate was alright. Tried Papaya salad for the first time, it is good, but not the extraordinary dish some reviews suggest. Lao Sausage is good. Didn't get why the sticky rice was in a plastic bag though.
