Tired of scouring the menu at every San Diego eatery, hoping for something other than the predictably dull Green Salad to pop up as meatless? Sick of your vegetarian, vegan, or health-conscious friends ruling out fantastic restaurants in favor of someplace a bit less carnivorous -- and much more bizarre? Finally, a compromise: Sipz Fusion Café and Restaurant boasts a completely meatless menu with taste and atmosphere that easily surpasses garden-variety expectation.
Located just west of 805 on Clairemont Mesa Blvd in Madison Square Plaza, Sipz Fusion Café and Restaurant sits, unassuming, next-door to none other than Yardage Town, waiting for you to discover the city's finest vegetarian gem. With a wide range of tasty Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, and Italian dishes to choose from, Sipz redefines fusion cuisine in a stress-free, health-conscious atmosphere.
Each dish -- from appetizers and salads, to entrees and desserts -- is served in a bowl, and each one of their "bowlz" is 100% vegetarian. In the mood for shrimp? Beef, chicken, meatballs, or sushi? Sipz offers soy and tofu replacements for just about anything you can think of. Popular favorites include the Orange "Chicken" and the Thai Curry "Chicken," seconded only by the signature Chinese "Chicken" Salad and extensive vegetarian sushi bar. Taste-test a delicious appetizer of Barbeque "Chicken" or Tom Yum soup, and follow-up your meal with an in-house Boba drink or vegan carrot cake to go.
Most Frequently Asked Question: Does it taste like real meat? A quick survey says that while you'll definitely be able to tell the difference between real beef and the "Beef" & Broccoli, you just might end up liking the "Beef" version better.
Insider Tip: When asked how spicy you'd like your dish, aim low -- even on takeout orders, the kitchen can get a little loose with the spices. Even if you think you can handle the hottest of the hot, we'd still recommend a 4 or 5 on a scale of 1-10.
