THE BEST 10 Restaurants in San Diego, CA - Last Updated July 2021
"Just north of the better known Sichuan Province sits Shaanxi Province (not to be confused with the neighboring Shanxi Province), known for the Terracotta Army, the Hukou Waterfall and biang biang noodles, which is famously the most complex Chinese character, having 57 strokes. Long, broad, and chewy, the hand-ripped noodles are smothered in a ground chili and soy-based sauce. Other menu standouts include the Yang Rou Pao Mo, a savory lamb soup studded with cubes of dense bread that take on a dumpling-like consistency after they’ve soaked up the broth, and tofu pidan, a simple, inexpensive dish of silken tofu, a thousand-year-old egg, minced garlic, spring onion drizzled with soy sauce, and Chinese vinegar."
"From burgers and noodle soup to buns and satays, Shan Xi Magic Kitchen serves the best Asian food prepared in an authentic style and presented with modern techniques. The restaurant also features online ordering with the same menu. Their burgers are definitely the opposite of famous American burgers and feature stewed pork and spicy cumin lamb."
"For truly authentic Chinese food, place your order at this Kearny Mesa hot spot. Try the Biang Biang noodles, which are extra wide handmade noodles that are served in a spicy sauce and are so delicious on their own that they need no meat or veggies to accompany them."
"Mandarin Wok is a family-owned and operated Chinese restaurant serving the community since 1983. They have attentive and accommodating staff attending on the orders of their diners. Furthermore, the restaurant is open daily from 11:30 in the morning and onwards."
"From the Little Italy Mercato Farmer’s Market on Saturdays to some of the state’s best craft breweries and taco joints, San Diego has great food. Spots like Tribute Pizza and Galaxy Taco are family-friendly and tasty enough to satisfy everyone. Plant-based eatery Donna Jean is delicious, a major hit for our vegetarian family."
"This family-owned North Park restaurant has been serving incredible Cantonese fare since 1931. With that many years of experience, you know you’re in for a treat regardless of what you order but if you need a few suggestions, a few of the staff’s favorites include crispy beef, walnut shrimp and Szechuan tofu."

"Spread across 100 acres, the San Diego Zoo is home to 3,700 rare and endangered animals, with some 700,000 plants creating the lush habitats surrounding them. Well known for its animal care and conservation efforts (the zoo employs 300 animal care staff!), the zoo is a top priority for most San Diego-bound travelers. Given its sprawling size, it can be a lot of ground to cover, especially for little legs."
"The San Diego Zoo is world famous for a reason – it’s huge and it’s so much fun!. There are so many big-ticket animals to see here, like pandas, orangutans, polar bears, koalas and many more. The San Diego Zoo is great as it meets the needs of everyone in the family."
"Panda Canyon is definitely the San Diego Zoo’s prized exhibit. The Zoo is home to three Giant Pandas, as well as one Red Panda. This is one of the only places in the United States to view the Giant Panda, so it’s a pretty special experience."
"The Asian Passage is south of Panda Canyon and is a simulation of a tropical Asian rain forest. This scenic passage includes grizzly bears, snow leopards, and sun bears. This spectacular area also features the Sun Bear Forest, which resembles a southeast Asian rain forest, and the Hawaiian Native Plant Garden."
"The Asian Passage area includes the Sun Bear Forest, Grizzly Bear exhibit, and more. It’s a fun area to explore, and isn’t quite as big as Africa Rocks."
"Location: Harbor Island (across the Street from the San Diego Airport)Water slide: NoAdults only pool: No. This pool is on the list for people who need a San Diego airport hotel but would like a pool, too. Guests may watch yachts meander through the harbor and enjoy water views from the pool at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina."
"This hike will take you through unique rock structures, and at the end, you can enjoy the sunset from the beach (a sometimes nude one). Don’t forget to check out the Mushroom House too while you’re there. More: Photo Guide to Hiking the Ho Chi Minh Trail"
