Convoy Street

Convoy Street in San Diego, California, also known as just "Convoy", refers to a neighborhood and area in a community called Kearny Mesa.

The Convoy Street area is known as the home to a diverse community of Asian-owned businesses. There are communities along University Avenue and in Linda Vista that have predominantly Vietnamese businesses and Filipino business communities that are somewhat prevalent in areas like National City and Mira Mesa. However for the most part, none of these places are locally referred to as "Filipinotowns" or "Vietnamesetowns".

Convoy is unique in that there are many diverse businesses that are owned and representative of all the different Asian cultures. There are many Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Thai eating establishments that are scattered across the Convoy Street area. One can enjoy anything ranging from boba milk teas, BBQ, seafood, pho, and ramen. Moreover, there are many markets that cater to all the different cultures including 99 Ranch Market on the north end (along Clairemont Mesa Boulevard), Zion Market and Mitsuwa Marketplace in the east/central areas (near Balboa Ave, along the Hwy. 163 side), or the Nijiya market on the south end (just before crossing the I-805 overpass past Aero Dr.).

Convoy is located close to the heart of San Diego county and is situated between the communities of Clairemont to the west, Tierrasanta to the east, Miramar/Mira Mesa to the north, and Linda Vista/Serra Mesa to the south. The area is bordered by the major highways of San Diego. Kearny Mesa can generally be pictured as an area described as an upside down triangle: where Highway 52 borders the top side on the north and the two other sides being represented by Interstate 805 to the west and Highway 163 to the east.
