YUN, the highly praised restaurant at 4344 Convoy St in Kearny Mesa, has been downgraded following a recent County of San Diego health inspection. Known for drawing long waits and consistently positive reviews on Google and Yelp, the popular Convoy District spot now faces a lower posted health grade. This is a downgrade, not a closure.
According to county inspection records, the visit documented enough violations to push the score below the top-tier threshold, triggering a downgrade and a requirement for corrective action. In practical terms, that means YUN must address the cited issues and pass a follow-up inspection to restore its previous standing. While the specifics of each violation matter to operators and regulators, the headline for diners is clear: the restaurant’s grade has been reduced until fixes are verified.
Why this matters: Convoy is one of San Diego’s most vibrant dining corridors, where beloved restaurants compete as much on trust as taste. YUN’s strong online reputation has made it a go-to for many, which amplifies the significance of any change to its health score. A downgrade doesn’t erase what fans love about the food and service, but it does signal that the county found problems significant enough to affect the grade card. For many San Diegans, those cards are a quick shorthand for kitchen practices they never see—and a reminder that even the most popular spots are subject to the same standards.
For diners, a few practical tips: check the posted grade at the entrance, review the publicly available inspection report on the County of San Diego’s website, and look for an update after the required reinspection. For the restaurant, swift, transparent corrective steps and a prompt return to a top grade will be key to reassuring customers who’ve come to rely on YUN as a Convoy staple.
We’ve reached out to YUN for comment and will update this story as more information becomes available, including any timeline for reinspection and restoration of the prior grade.
