Japanese Lunch Near Convoy
Okan Diner sits in Clairemont Mesa, a short drive from Convoy, serving lunch and dinner with ramen, udon, sushi and yakitori on one broad, izakaya-style menu.
Come in for a quick midday bowl of miso ramen or udon, or settle in for a relaxed evening of shared plates. Our dining room is casual and cozy, with easier parking and seating than our sister restaurant, Wa Dining Okan.

Lunch in the Day, Dinner Until Ten
Okan Diner keeps two different rhythms. Lunch is a quicker, lighter affair, the kind of stop that suits a bowl of noodles or a plate of comfort food between errands and work in Clairemont Mesa. Lunch service is offered, though hours shift, so give us a call at (858) 278-4228 to confirm current lunch times before you head over.
Dinner is where the izakaya side of the restaurant comes alive. Doors are open daily from 5 to 10 PM, and that stretch is built for relaxed group meals: sharing yakitori, ordering a round of small plates, and staying a while over a drink. It is also the easiest time to take in the full, sometimes unfamiliar menu, from ramen and udon to the signature kamameshi, which takes about 20 minutes to prepare, so plan for it on a night out.
Lunch is for a quick, comforting bowl; dinner is for lingering over plates with friends.
Either way, you can browse the full menu before you come in, or learn more about the izakaya-style dining that defines an evening here.
