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.
Start with dried scallop and abalone or nostalgic HK/China/Taiwan sodas or whole-leaf teas, and check the restaurant’s current menu before you go.

“This place is a one-stop shop for all things you'd find in a Chinese household.”
Roger described it as covering everything found in a Chinese household — herbal remedies, dried seafood like scallop and abalone, dried mushrooms, nostalgic sodas and other drinks from Hong Kong, mainland China and Taiwan, and whole-leaf teas to brew at home. He noted it's tucked in a low-key warehouse just west of Convoy with irregular weekday hours, but reliably open after 10am on weekends.
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 Kearny Mesa yakitori spot Roger rated among his worst local experiences: undercooked skewers, foul-smelling kushikatsu batter and a bout of food poisoning that hit his whole group.
