Late-night ramen
RakiRaki Ramen & Tsukemen (Ramen, until midnight); Tajima Ramen Convoy (Ramen, until 11:30pm Fri & Sat).
RakiRaki Ramen & Tsukemen
Convoy's busiest ramen house, with doors open until 1am but last orders around midnight. Rich tonkotsu, oxtail and spicy miso bowls on chewy mochi noodles, a separate vegan menu after 5pm and a $15 weekday lunch special. Expect a wait at dinner and a tight Convoy Court lot.
Tajima Ramen Convoy
Where Tajima began in 2001, and still the chain's flagship: a big wood-and-bar room with sports on the TVs, noodles now made in-house, bowls until 11:30pm on weekends and one of Convoy's longest happy hours. Come for the carnitas ramen, the Tajima Black and a table of izakaya plates.
Late-night Korean: KBBQ, pocha and soju bars
Min Sok Chon (Korean pocha, until 2am); Thang Thang (Korean, until 1:30am); DalBam Moon Night (Korean, until 1am); ZZan Sushi & Soju (Soju bar & sushi, until 1am); Bonchon Convoy (Korean Fried Chicken, until 1am Thu-Sat); Handoo Korean BBQ (Korean BBQ, until midnight); SongHak Korean BBQ (Korean BBQ, until midnight Fri & Sat).
Min Sok Chon
The classic Korean pocha, open until 2am every night — wooden hut-style booths, flavored soju by the pitcher, share-size plates of wings, galbi and pajeon, and private karaoke rooms on the side. Happy hour runs 5 to 8pm daily, and it's one of the few real kitchens still cooking on Convoy after midnight.
Thang Thang
Late-night Korean pocha next to DJK on Engineer Rd, serving big shareable bar food and soju until 1:30am, with a Sun-Thu happy hour. Dim lighting, partitioned booths and K-pop on the screens — a drinking spot first.
DalBam Moon Night
A small Korean pocha (drinking-food pub) on Convoy open until 1am most nights — glowing moon on the wall, soju caps in the woodwork and K-pop videos on loop. The draw is the bossam, marinated boiled pork belly with garlic, jalapeno and radish for wrapping, plus seafood pancake, spicy cheese pork belly, chadol yukgaejang and army stew, all in shareable portions.
ZZan Sushi & Soju
Late-night Korean soju bar with a sushi counter — rolls and sashimi alongside corn cheese and jjamppong, flavored soju by the bottle, K-pop on every wall and private karaoke rooms. Open past midnight every night.
Bonchon Convoy
The Korean fried chicken chain done right — double-fried wings that stay crunchy under the sauce, beer on tap and a big, lively room. $1 wings Monday and Tuesday; open till 1am Thursday to Saturday.
Handoo Korean BBQ
Old-school AYCE KBBQ workhorse in Seoul Plaza, open until midnight every night — affordable tiers, unlimited marinated LA short rib (most places cap it), a deep bench of non-marinated cuts and a new wagyu tier, with staff who swap grills without being asked. Pick it for a late, meat-heavy group dinner.
SongHak Korean BBQ
A la carte Korean BBQ in Seoul Plaza that specializes in grilled beef intestines — gopchang, daechang, makchang and abomasum — alongside prime brisket, wagyu beef belly and pork jowl. Servers cook at the table, and the combos come loaded with corn cheese, steamed egg, a stew and banchan. Not AYCE, but you leave full for less. Open until midnight on weekends.
Late-night yakitori and izakaya
Yokohama Yakitori Koubou (Izakaya, until midnight); Yakyudori (Izakaya, until 11:30pm).
Yokohama Yakitori Koubou
A busy, Padres-decorated yakitori izakaya that feels lifted from Japan: jidori chicken and beef skewers off the charcoal grill, a weekly specials board, green tea soba, big mugs of Asahi and plenty of sake. Dinner only until midnight, closed Sundays — and call ahead, because the walk-in wait can run an hour or more.
Yakyudori
A small, lively yakitori-and-ramen pub on Convoy: order skewers on the table iPad until 11:30pm, chase them with spicy miso or tonkotsu ramen and cheap draft beer, and catch the Padres on the big TV. Lunch on weekends, dinner every night, and one of Convoy's best-value late-night meals.
Late-night Chinese
Midnight Skewer (Chinese, until 2am).
More late food: tacos and pho
The Taco Stand (Mexican, until midnight Fri & Sat); Pho Mignon + Seafood (Vietnamese, until 11:45pm Fri & Sat).
The Taco Stand
The San Diego taco-shop chain, planted in Convoy Court — handmade tortillas, a loaded salsa bar and churros worth the trip on their own. Mostly takeout; open till midnight Friday and Saturday.
Pho Mignon + Seafood
Big, modern pho hall in Sunrise Towne Centre with a full bar and claw machines — filet mignon and bone marrow pho, a seafood-heavy menu and an AYCE Vietnamese BBQ option. Open till almost midnight Friday and Saturday.
Dessert and boba after 11
Sweet Vibe (Boba, until midnight Fri & Sat); Happy Lemon Convoy (Boba, until midnight Fri & Sat); Sunday Ice Cream (Ice Cream, until midnight Fri & Sat); MNGO Cafe (Shaved Ice, until midnight Fri & Sat); MOTW Coffee & Pastries (Cafe, until midnight Fri & Sat); Yun Tea House (Boba, until 11:45pm Fri & Sat).
Sweet Vibe
A small, spotless boba-and-cake shop tucked next to Hidden Fish, open until 11pm (midnight Friday and Saturday). Real-fruit slushes, taro and matcha drinks, and a case of cute boxed cakes — the Bearamisu tiramisu, Taromisu and marshmallow-succulent chocolate cake — that taste as good as they look.
Happy Lemon Convoy
San Diego's original Happy Lemon, tucked into a small center near Jasmine Seafood — salted cheese teas, fresh-squeezed lemon drinks, smoothies and bubble waffles baked to order, open until midnight on weekends. A roomy, remodeled shop that works as the after-dinner stop.
Sunday Ice Cream
A small, family-run scoop shop in Seoul Plaza making its own Asian-flavored ice cream: pandan, ube taro, black sesame, Thai tea, boricha (roasted barley), injeolmi, jasmine milk tea, Vietnamese coffee, Milo and Hello Panda, plus fruit sorbets. Free samples, a split scoop for two flavors, and open until 11pm (midnight Friday and Saturday).
MNGO Cafe
Mango everything — powder-fine mango kakigori with pudding hidden inside, warm mango sticky rice, sago and smoothies — in a big, bright room built around a mango tree. Desserts are sized to share between two to four, it's open until midnight on weekends, and the plaza lot is free.
MOTW Coffee & Pastries
A big, all-halal Middle Eastern coffeehouse on Balboa just west of Convoy, from the Muslims of the World brand (its first California shop). Yemeni chai brewed for 90 minutes, pistachio and date-cardamom lattes, kunafa made in-house with a real cheese pull, and Argentine-style empanadas — with a patio, board games, outlets at every table, and hours until 10pm (midnight Friday and Saturday).
Yun Tea House
The prettiest boba tea house on Convoy — cloud lights, a little river running down the long table, and teas brewed to order so the tea actually comes through. One of the top-rated boba shops in San Diego, open until nearly midnight on weekends, and they'll pour you samples before you choose.
Karaoke and bars
Bobos Karaoke (Karaoke, until 4am); Carriage House Cocktails & Karaoke (Karaoke, until 2am); SPOT KTV (Karaoke, until 2am); HIVE Bar & Karaoke (Karaoke, until 2am); Melody Karaoke & Cafe (Karaoke, until 2am).
Bobos Karaoke
Upstairs BYOB karaoke bar and noraebang in the north-Convoy plaza — private rooms, craft beer on tap and pool tables. Rooms go half off during happy hour, and it runs until 4am for the after-dinner crowd.
Carriage House Cocktails & Karaoke
Convoy's real dive bar: cheap, strong drinks, three pool tables, darts and full-size shuffleboard, sports on every TV, and open-mic karaoke for the whole bar every night from 9pm to 1:30am. There's no kitchen, but outside food is welcome, and it stays open until 2am.
SPOT KTV
Chinese-style KTV with big, fairly soundproof rooms for groups and a Taiwanese food menu — the strongest song selection if your playlist runs in Mandarin or other Asian languages. Cheaper than HIVE for a crowd.
HIVE Bar & Karaoke
Private-room noraebang behind a full Korean bar — big rooms, food and drinks brought to your door, and more English songs than most Convoy KTVs. Pricier than rivals, so pick it for a birthday or a big group night.
Melody Karaoke & Cafe
Polished private karaoke rooms in Convoy Village — about 10 rooms from small booths up to VIP rooms for 18 and 25 — with a Chinese kitchen, flavored soju pitchers and a free fruit platter. A favorite for birthday parties; the song system leans Chinese, so English-only groups should read the notes.
Late night on Convoy: common questions

Is there late-night Korean BBQ on Convoy?
Yes — Handoo Korean BBQ (Korean BBQ, until midnight) and SongHak Korean BBQ (Korean BBQ, until midnight Fri & Sat). Handoo's last seating is around 11pm, so don't cut it close.

Only Bobos Karaoke (karaoke, until 4am). Everything else closes by 2am, so Min Sok Chon is the last stop for food.
Is parking easier on Convoy late at night?
