If you love Ramen as much as I do you have to try Tajima Ramen. Located @ 4681 Convoy St, San Diego, CA 92111. I absolutely love the Miso with Pork and thin noodles. Gyoza is also good. You're welcome in advance.

You don't have to sell Korean BBQ. But this place is the best in the area in my not humble opinion :). I met the owner Alex a few times and he knows his business. Check it out (if you don't mind spending 40ish a plate.

Man we love this place. Except for the chairs... Lol. But the shrimp bowls are freaking amazing and the ambiance is pretty great. Has an aquatic theme that beach lovers will vibe with. Maybe get some Pico De Gallo with some chips. Go crazy!

Pizza pizza everywhere and not a diet to be spared. We enjoy Pieology. Pieology is a chain, but a good one. Like a fancy platinum chain from a rap video (we know its a rental chain bro). Sorry I get on tangents. They make the pizza right in front of you so no boogers. Can't beat that!

Looking for some ribs that will make you want to take a nap? Well you've come to the right place sister (I realize you may be a man, but sister just felt right)! Really all of them are great but be warned the portions are huge!

Entertainment & Activities
This is mostly for you surfers out there. If you get here early it's a great spot to catch a few waves. Or you know.... Fall into waves. Depending on your skill level. :)

I mostly go here for beach volleyball on the weekends. Try to get in a pickup game if you can. It's a great time and there are a few sports bars with ocean views. Wear sunscreen, you pasty bastard! Oh that's me.....

Balboa Park is a 1,200-acre (490 ha) urban cultural park in San Diego, California so it's really big. Don't be a hero and wear some comfy shoes. In addition to open space areas, natural vegetation zones, green belts, gardens, and walking paths, it contains museums, several theaters, and the world-famous San Diego Zoo. There are also many recreational facilities and several gift shops and restaurants within the boundaries of the park. Thought the restaurants are meh so maybe eat elsewhere. Also, I believe they museums are free on Tuesdays.

Okay so this is geared toward the younger crowd but there is something here for everyone. They have pretty rad restaurant bars all along the beach here. Bunch of activities for you real athletes like mini-golf. You'll know you're there when you see a small roller coaster. Think of it as a mini-fair that is always open and less creepy. Also, another good spot for beach volleyball.

Okay this area is clean and scenic. Why? Because rich people live here!!! Yayyyyyyy!!!! (I don't live here....) They offer a pretty cool kayaking tour here and there are some restaurants. Just know you're paying a bit extra for some basic food. Rich people tax. So I'd eat before going.

Sightseeing
This is a pretty beach but not really an active one so don't plan on that. But it's great for a picnic! You want to see a hotel you probably will never stay at? Hotel del Coronado is of interest then. It's pretty famous and has a fancy ball room you can rent for events for about a bazillion dollars.

This isn't really a "beach" but they have some pretty scenic spots along the rocks. So if you need a photo for that picture frame from a 3 year old gift this may be your huckleberry.
Also a great place to snorkel or scuba dive. Couple of little ma & pop shops and restaurants as well.
