Ho Wan Noodle Shop in Lakeside serves pan-Asian cuisine inside the Barona Resort & Casino food court at 1932 Wildcat Canyon Rd, with a name that translates to “good luck” in Chinese. Executive Chinese Chef Jo Lee oversees a menu spanning Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Filipino, and Korean dishes, running a multi-cuisine kitchen alongside the cafe-bakery format at Bubbles & Brews Cafe on Alpine Blvd. The San Diego Union-Tribune readers' poll has recognized Ho Wan as a top Chinese restaurant in the region, and the kitchen rotates through Thai red curry chicken, Philippine pancit, Korean beef ribs, and congee variations ranging from lean pork with century egg to abalone and chicken. Barona Resort & Casino, operated by the Barona Band of Mission Indians on Wildcat Canyon Rd, anchors a corridor that also draws visitors to the surrounding Lakeside dining scene, including artisan provisions at Ranch Farmers Market on Alpine Blvd. The banh mi layers house aioli, pickled daikon, cucumber, cilantro, and jalapeño on a toasted roll, and the tom yum noodle soup builds a spicy lemongrass broth over vermicelli with beef.
