Set in Balboa Park’s Mingei International Museum, Artifact is a gallery-like culinary showcase. The Mingei’s collection of folk art, crafts, and design, representing more than 140 countries, serves as inspiration for Artifact’s rotating menu, which draws upon the ancient cooking methods, spices, and botanicals of global cuisines.
The broad scope of the menu and its seasonal nature allow for variety and interpretation in the exploration of noodles and dumplings from all over the world; one might find takes on Italian agnolotti, Russian pelmeni, and the Chinese dim sum staple siu mai.
