Food scene
Our favorite local Asian California cuisine is Ho Sum Bistro. This is a great option for take out, but you can also dine in (it’s small so get there early if you want to eat in). It’s very casual. We love their Ho Sum salad, dumplings, pot stickers, and chicken fried rice! They also have an all you can eat brunch which our three boys love. It’s about a 10-15 minute walk from the house.

Next door to Ho Sum Bistro is a great tiny Mexican restaurant, Wild Taco. It has amazing tacos, salads, bowls and fajitas. They also have great breakfast burritos and egg options! It has a cute little patio if you can score one of the few tables outside and enjoy a margarita or a beer (great weekday happy hour!). It’s also great to-go and eat on the beach!

Best poke around! You can also grab delicious fish tacos or have a whole fish of the day platter grilled to perfection with fresh vegetables. Their guacamole is also insane. This is about an 18 minute walk from the house across from Lido Village.

If you are looking for a family friendly fun dining experience, Mama D’s is it! They serve delicious (and heavy) Italian food. You will not leave hungry. It’s a fun spot to celebrate a birthday or gather with friends or family. The customer service is top notch, but get there really early for a table. It fills up fast! It’s a 15 minute walk away.

This is one of our favorites for a date night or night out with friends. The food is amazing and the restaurant is really cute, and on the water! We recommend trying to get a table outside so you can watch the action on the waterfront of Lido Village. They only serve wine and beer and wine-based cocktails. Reservations suggested.
