Roger called this Kearny Mesa Applebee's just alright, with decent-not-great plates across the table, though he fondly recalled a since-uncertain unlimited shrimp deal where their server kept bringing a fresh plate of shrimp every five minutes.

Called the plates decent but not the best. Recalled a since-uncertain unlimited shrimp deal fondly.
Stay in the neighborhood

A Convoy District spot Roger rated among the better local options for xiao long bao and pan-fried sheng jian bao, with better-than-typical service to match.

A Kearny Mesa Vietnamese spot Roger praised for freshly made, generous portions — nothing mass-ordered frozen — plus made-to-order coffee and wings he ranks among the only two worth ordering at an Asian restaurant in town.

A low-key Convoy-area grocery Roger called a one-stop shop for a Chinese household: herbal remedies, dried seafood, nostalgic HK/China/Taiwan sodas and whole-leaf teas, tucked in a warehouse half a block west of Convoy.
