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.
