Northern San Diego

Located inland from La Jolla and north of Mission Valley, the neighborhoods of Clairemont and Kearny Mesa often fly under the radar of most visitors to San Diego. The shopping centers and restaurants of this area serve as a hub for San Diego’s sizeable and diverse Asian population, especially along Convoy Street between Clairemont Mesa Boulevard and Aero Drive. Though these neighborhoods aren’t traditional tourist destinations, those who do venture here will be rewarded as they dine at myriad authentic Asian restaurants, relax with a reflexology foot massage, or peruse the aisles of specialty grocery stores.
