If this is where you are staying - on Clairemont Blve by 163 - a very convenient location and there is even a In and Out Burger not too far south of there, as well as a Starbucks, etc. :) You might have to go down to Balboa for the In and Out Burger and there are other places heading both East and West on Clairemont Blve, as well as Convoy- a couple long blocks to the West.

yup, that's the hotel. i did scope out the awesome asian dining options already. i love korean, hubby and son love japanese.

You could stay a week and if you ate every meal along Convoy - still not try them all. Convoy is just a mecca for Asian food. We love them all - including Tahi - and the Dumpling Inn is excellent for Chinese http://www.yelp.com/biz/dumpling-inn-san-diego , and across the little pakring lot - for Dim Sum - Jasmine is good. There also is a Korean Market between them.

So many good choices. :)

tom - i'll stick with our kearny mesa location for the food. and i've numerous good things about the dumpling inn...so that'll be a definite stop.
