Sushi Ota in San Diego is Yukito Ota's Mission Bay Drive room since 1990, the strip-mall sushi counter that has trained more San Diego sushi chefs than any.
OrderThe omakase, ordered by sitting at the counter and asking the chef directly.
TipBook the counter, not the dining room. The strip-mall location is intentional; ignore the parking lot and step inside.
Cowboy Star in San Diego is the East Village steakhouse and butcher shop on 10th Avenue, with an in-house dry-aging programme, an oyster bar and one.
OrderThe dry-aged bone-in ribeye for two; the Wagyu burger at lunch.

OrderA Stone IPA flight to compare the eras of the West Coast original.

Common Theory in San Diego is the Convoy Street gastropub where Asian flavours run through a craft-beer menu, with a long bar, 40 taps and a daily.
OrderThe Mongolian BBQ ribs; the kimchi-slaw burger with a Pure Project IPA.

Tasty Noodle House in San Diego is the Convoy Street northern Chinese noodle counter, with hand-pulled noodles made through the open window and one.
OrderThe Lanzhou hand-pulled beef noodle soup; the xiaolongbao steamer for sharing.
TipCash is fine and faster than card. The dan dan noodles are the room's secret order.
