The 38 Best Restaurants in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"An expansive rooftop patio is part of the draw at this bi-level restaurant that’s a fixture on the nightlife scene but was also recognized with Michelin Bib Gourmand status in 2021. The downstairs level is hip and happening, and the upstairs is quieter, with an eye-catching tree in the middle of the second-floor patio. Helmed by executive chef Brian Redzikowski, who’s created a consistently thoughtful menu with dishes inflected with Asian ingredients and techniques. Menu highlights include spicy tuna crispy rice, whipped buttermilk ricotta, and the spicy garlic noodles with royal red shrimp, shitake, broccoli, and cilantro. Must-try dishes: Be sure to get something from the inventive cocktail menu, like the Curry-osity with gin, curry, turmeric, and coconut." - Candice Woo
