Best Asian Food Restaurants in Pacific Beach

"This neighborhood gem is a progressive Japanese restaurant with a great selection of hot and cold items. They have a fabulous daily happy hour from 4:30 – 6:30 pm as well as a daily special board with ever-changing fresh options. If you can snag one, some of their tables on the patio have views of the bay and downtown."

"Traditionalists will not be disappointed with staples like the panang and massaman curries, pad see ew, larb salad, or pineapple fried rice at this casual but cheery eatery, which offers diners a heat-index of 5+ so dishes can be customized according to preferred spice levels. Open for the lunchtime crowd from 11 a.m."

"If you are craving Japanese or Sushi, this is a great place for you. They have a diverse menu serving up everything from traditional rolls and sushi to Ramen, Udon Noodle Soup, and Yakisoba. We recommend starting with their Hamachi Kama and Seaweed Salad."

"Ly Heng Asian Restaurant features a unique mix of Vietnamese and Chinese food, which has caught the attention of a lot of people craving authentic Asian food. One of the most ordered items at this restaurant is their Phnom Penh noodles, which are served with fresh spinach, spring onions, crab sticks and braised pork chops. They also serve an amazingly healthy pork or beef soup with delicate bean sprouts."

"If you’re looking for vegan Chinese delivery, consider taking a look at Sipz Vegetarian Fusion Cafe in North Park."

"Piatti is a charming Italian eatery in the heart of La Jolla Shores by the beach. In addition to lunch and dinner, you can join them for a full Italian-style breakfast. Everything on the mouthwatering menu is amazing, but the dipping sauce for the fresh bread is what you’ll be dreaming about for the next few nights."

"Built in 1967, this historic San Diego bridge offers a great perspective for sunrise shots. It's no Golden Gate Bridge, but in the early morning hours, this bridge really stands out as something unique. The perspective of this shot was taken on the Coronado-side of the bridge near the Coronado Tidelands Park."

"The San Diego-Coronado Bridge is a five-lane bridge that, when completed in 1969, connected San Diego to Coronado. It is 11,179 feet (3,407 meters) long. Below the bridge in Barrio Logan is Chicano Park, which features over 70 Chicano art murals."

"Adjacent to the Zoo is Balboa Park, one of San Diego's most beloved treasures. Known as the "Smithsonian of the West," Balboa Park is the largest cultural park in America and features 17 museums and performing arts venues as well as beautiful gardens, the lily pond and botanic building, concerts and a host of special events. Take a stroll down the main El Prado promenade, enjoy the gorgeous 1915 Spanish Colonial-revival style architecture, and grab a bite to eat and one of the many purveyors in the park."

"Comprising 1,200 acres in San Diego, Balboa Park is the largest urban cultural park in the United States, and also one of the oldest. It features over 15 museums, meandering paths, overflowing gardens, green belts, several theaters, gift shops, restaurants, a carousel, mini railroad, and San Diego Zoo. Admittance to the park is free, as is access to the luscious gardens, trails, The Botanical Building, and Timken Art Museum."

"With over 85 cultural and recreational facilities, Balboa Park is a must-see. It's probably best to start at the Visitor's Center for a map and events calendar, and to purchase a Balboa Park Explorer Pass, which provides entrance to most of park's attractions. The zoo is a big attraction, but there are also 16 museums, cultural centers, lawn bowling, a carousel, and a miniature railroad ride."
