Best Restaurants and Bars to Try on Convoy Street in Kearny Mesa | Eater San Diego

"One of the best comeback stories in the neighborhood is the reopening of the iconic China Max, which was destroyed in a fire early during the COVID-19 pandemic. After being closed for five years, the restaurant has recently reopened under new ownership. The restaurant has undergone massive reconstruction and revamped its menu to focus more on dumplings, having found success with its Dumpling Bar restaurant in Encinitas, which opened in the summer of 2024. All-you-can-eat weeknight dim sum with desserts and drinks has drummed up lines around the corner. Try the soup dumplings (either steamed or pan-fried), har gow, potstickers, and chicken wontons in chile sauce." - Helen I. Hwang
