None of the restaurants I go to have closed. Here’s some suggestions around OB and Bay Park:
1. Takai/OB Sushi Sushi Newport at Cable – Owner Tim is very nice. Rather than have two sushi places on the same block, one is converting to Chinese. Hopefully will be better than the one awful Chinese place on Newport now. Very good quality at fairly low prices. $8 rainbow rolls are great.
2. JV’s Mexican, southern end of Morena Blvd – best casual Mexican in San Diego, possible to get low carb, several good grilled fish entrees. Standout is the salmon soft tacos.
3. Third Corner, Voltaire and W Pt Loma, – Amazing late night happy hour. Don’t know of any other place W of the 5 with a high end kitchen open in this 10-12pm time slot. Pretty good during the day and early evening too.
4. Pure Thai – top of the Voltaire hill – Excellent lunch specials. Never had anything not delicious there.
5. Blue Water Grill – Santa Monica Ave at the beach – Best fish tacos in SD, beach view. Seems expensive until you see that a single $6 or 7 taco is enough for a light meal.
6. Bulls Smokin’ BBQ, side street between Morena and W Morena – As good as Phil’s with no lines. Nice big place with giant open windows and outdoor areas for social distancing.
