Our Story

“Grains cafe serves complexity in unassuming forms.”

- Edible San Diego

Everyone cooks in our big family. A majority of them cook because they have to; but for some, like my sister and I, cooking has always been our passion. From a life-long background in traditional Thai home cooking, we have carefully selected flavors and ingredients that we like and turned them into our own unique creations that are both satisfying and delicious.

When you visit our neighborhood café in the University Heights of San Diego, you will be greeted by friendly faces in a warm and welcoming environment and leave with a new perspective on plant-based cuisine. Discover why our family-owned restaurant is consistently rated one of the top-rated restaurants in the area by visiting us today.

At Grains, it’s not just the food you’re tasting, it’s the passion.
