    Kearny Mesa & Convoy, before you go

    The Convoy District — a strip-mall corridor along Convoy Street and Balboa Avenue that holds the best concentration of Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Taiwanese food in Southern California outside Los Angeles.

    Getting there
    Highway 163 to Balboa Avenue, about 15 minutes from downtown. It is effectively car-only.
    Parking
    Free strip-mall lots everywhere; the lots at the busiest plazas fill at peak dinner hours.
    When to go
    Late dinner — many kitchens here run later than the rest of the city, and several are open past 11pm.
    Local note
    Nothing here looks like much from the parking lot. The unremarkable exteriors are not a signal of quality in either direction.
