When I’m with friends and we are all looking for someplace to eat, Sipz is a restaurant that I never worry about suggesting. It is a “sure bet” for making everyone happy. In fact, since the last time I’ve been there, they bought the restaurant next door and knocked down the walls to expand Sipz to twice its original size. Obviously, Sipz is catching on in San Diego.

Sipz serves Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai entrees. What makes Sipz unique is that all the food is vegan/vegetarian. The menu is a little deceiving because it lists items like Thai Chicken Curry, Crunchy Chowmein and Cashew Chicken. But in small print you’ll see that all the meats are “mock”. In other words, it’s ALL TOFU. But don’t let that four letter word scare you away.

The reason I don’t worry about inviting my friends to Sipz, not even the carnivores, is because the food is delicious and you won’t even notice that you aren’t eating meat. Everyone always leaves full and satisfied. Sweet and Sour Pork is my new favorite dish.

Sipz entrees are served in a bowl with a scoop of rice. They are reasonably priced at $7 or less. In the picture below, I’m holding the Thai Chicken Curry on the left and the Chicken with Basil on the right.

Sipz has two locations. One in Clairemont and one in Poway. Bring your friends to Sipz for a healthy meal that you’ll never know is vegetarian.

July Update:

This weekend I went to Sipz again with some friends, and one of the dishes we ordered was Pad Thai. Unfortunately, this was really bad pad thai. The noodles were very sticky and clumped together. The mock chicken tasted good and we ate that by itself while leaving the noodles untouched.
