Located on Park Blvd, very close by. This vegan restaurant will blow your mind. You might be hesitant about trying a vegan / Thai fusion restaurant but try the Green Curry, Ka Pow, or Pad Thai if you are feeling daring.

Sightseeing
Balboa Park is a must-see. Go on a weekday to avoid crowds. You can also look into purchasing tickets to go up into the bell tower and I hear the views are amazing from there. Also, I recommend eating at Panama 66, there is usually live music on Fridays & weekend. I love the Japanese Flower Garden too, it's gorgeous and so peaceful.
