Tom's Chinese BBQ

I came here after church on a Sunday because my wife was sick and was craving sesame balls. Fortunately the plaza was not that crowded and there were plenty of parking spots. I subtracted a star due to them being cash only. If that doesn't bother you, consider this place a 5 star. I ordered several sesame balls, and saw some delicious looking buns and asked the woman what they were. She replied that they were bbq pork buns. I ordered a couple of those bad boys as well. It was 10 dollars, great price and great service. My wife loved the sesame balls. I tried the sesame balls and bbq pork buns and both were really good. Next time I will definitely try the BBQ pork, as well as my favorite, BBQ duck.

Ordered 2 roasted duck for my dad's birthday! This bbq store has been here since I was a kid. This place is small so it is more of a to go place, customer service is quick and friendly. This local too!, so I don't have to go far for authentic Chinese roasted duck, they also have pork buns that are so delicious. I do recommend calling before hand to see if duck is left cause they go by fast! Duck is delicious!!

I've been coming occasionally for years. You can get anything from a whole roasted pig, innards, roasted duck, bao buns, whatever they have out in the pans by the time you get there. Cash only and parking is in a small shared lot. There is a language barrier but some of the ladies there speak pretty decent enough to understand. I always crave their foods with a warm bed of rice.

My family has been coming here since I was a kid for roast duck and roast pork belly. I also love getting their chicken feet and fried pork dumplings (xian shui jiao).Everything here is delicious. You can pick which duck you want and ask for it to be chopped. Their ducks are big. They are $34 now as of October 2022. Cash only. Parking is a mess but there is always people in and out if you just wait. This is also not a dine in restaurant, so take out only.

Found a LONG piece of hair in the coconut bun! also when ordering the bbq roast pork, the lady grabs it with her WHOLE HAND, then uses the other hand to rip the piece of bbq pork! Second time here and Will NOT be coming back here. So unsanitary!!!

The pork sui main as gamey. We got half a roasted duck which was fine. Kinda scared to eat the boss since the pork in the sui main was off. Dan tats were ok. Not the greatest for parking. Cash only. Hole in the wall.

I don't come here often, but this is my second visit. Each time I got the half roast duck which was tender, juicy and flavorful. They don't provide any type of sauce which I think would be helpful in enhancing the flavor. It's a hole in the wall establishment that takes cash only. There is no seating. Parking is difficult in the small lot, but there is a larger strip mall across the street with ample parking which requires that you cross busy University Avenue. I prefer coming here than driving up to Convoy for duck. The staff are quick to serve and don't speak English well, but they are friendly.

You can easily bypass this understated strip mall. One can hardly see what this shop contains from the outside. If you can overlook the zero atmosphere and dated look, there are actually good Cantonese style offerings. The roast duck is delectable. If I had to be really picky, the skin could be a little crisper and a jus dipping sauce would be welcome. Many of the other items were either unavailable or sold out. The buns are unevenly baked so specify which ones you want. The roast pork buns were done the way I like. A sugar honey glaze with a sweet and savory bbq like filling. The coconut bun could have used more fat/butter as it was a little dry.Cash and takeout only. There is a small parking lot.

This place is a gem. Small mom and pop shop located east of the 805. They have the typical to go lunch items on a heated plate. But the main reason to come here is for the roasted pig and roasted duck. They are prepared to perfection (juicy and crispy). The pork buns are fresh and the best i have tasted in SD. The pineapple buns are also delish. i am drooling as i am writing.Just remember this is a very small place and English is not their first language so be patient. Also it is a to go only and they do not have any sitting areas near by. they run their business as CASH ONLY. Parking can be difficult as they share the parking with other businesses.This place can get busy and will run out of items later on. If you want a whole pig or large amounts of food... please contact them ahead of time.Just a little warning if you go when it is getting dark. The location is not La Jolla so expect to be hit up for a few dollars from individuals living in the streets. So go there with a purpose and take offAll this said. this place is worth it and go in the mornings

This is legit Chinese BBQ place for Roasted ducks, Roasted pork, Char Siu pork, Dim Sum and BBQ pork buns. The place is located in a small strip mall off 44th Street/University Ave and parking is limited. It's CASH ONLY so they don't accept credit cards. We have been here several times and the BBQ ducks have always been consistent. It is very flavorful, moist and extremely delicious as well as authentic!! This is our Go To spot for Chinese BBQ when we are in the SD area!!!!
