"Anchoring the Mingei International Museum in Balboa Park, this Michelin-recognized restaurant makes for a perfect daytime or evening date before or after scouting the museum’s exhibits. The lunch menu offers snacks like Vietnamese-style pork meatballs, dumplings and samosas, and a kabocha squash salad punched up with aji verde; dinner can be ramped up with short rib-swathed egg noodles, slow-roasted achiote pork huaraches, and a spiced lamb burger with kefalotyri cheese." - Helen I.
