Chinese Street Food and Crawfish Festival Launching This Month at UCSD | Eater San Diego

"Opened in April at UC San Diego’s newly-constructed Sixth College, the 3,000-square-foot restaurant quickly became an instant hit, reportedly drawing about 1,000 students and staff lining up daily for Fan-Fan’s cafeteria-style menu, which ranges from sesame chicken and beef with broccoli to Hunan spicy stir-fried pork and steamed fish with chopped chili peppers. There’s also a late-night menu offering stinky tofu, congee, and mini hot pots. Owned by Tony Wu and Lijun Liu—who also run Taste of Hunan and the fast-casual Crazy Duck—Liu (a Rady School of Management alumnus) and Wu plan to use the summer to reach the surrounding community: from June 25 to August 28 the restaurant will run a festival spotlighting popular summertime snacks from across China centered on three styles of crawfish, including spicy Chansha crawfish seasoned with over 20 spices plus chili peppers, homemade sesame oil, ginger, onion and garlic, and featuring regional street food such as grilled oysters, roasted pig feet, spicy squid skewers, and Guilin noodles with beef and pickled long beans." - Candice Woo
