Top Best Chinese Restaurants in San Ysidro

"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."

After dinner, stroll through the charming neighborhood to reach decadent Extraordinary Desserts.

"When you walk into this jewel of a restaurant on Columbia Street, it seems like the food couldn’t possibly live up to the panoramic view of the city and its harbor through its vast wall-length windows. Sitting on the bar seats facing out, you can drink in the sunset over the skyline with the hanging lanterns creating ambiance behind you. Luckily, the food definitely delivers as well – as do the drinks!"
