"San Diego’s Convoy District is known for having as many Asian food options as there are cars packed into all its strip malls. Admittedly, it can be overwhelming, so Formoosa is an approachable introduction. You’re ordering Taiwanese-style classics, like the beef noodle soup with a nicely spiced broth, scallion pancake-wrapped beef roll, and wavy noodles with just the right amount of chew. The small, brightly lit space centers around a U-shaped bar with a few tables dotting the perimeter, so you’ll want to come here with that friend or two down to split the chili wontons. It’s also worth checking out (and making a reservation) for cocktails at Convoy Music Bar around the corner." - Ligaya Malones
