“Great weekly specials (50% off) for each night of the week!
Get their cold apps!
Speak canto with the ladies if you're mandarin isn't that great...
Chicken/pork soup is the bomb (enough for 4 people).
Red menu is the one to order from....the other is the white mans menu :p”

Roger rated this Convoy District seafood spot 4 stars for its 50%-off nightly specials, recommending the cold apps and a chicken/pork soup big enough for four -- and steering diners to order off the Chinese-language 'red menu' rather than the English one.
Fuan Garden Seafood Restaurant is listed as closed -- the space became Hui An Garden. This page keeps Roger's dated review as a record, not as a place to visit.

Roger praised the nightly 50%-off specials, the cold apps, and a chicken/pork soup he said was enough for four people, and advised ordering from the Chinese-language 'red menu' rather than the English one. (From an unpublished Yelp draft review, never posted publicly.)
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.
From the order notes

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.
