Tom's Chinese BBQ

Hole in the wall Chinese bbq for your favorite bbq treats like roast duck (1/2 or full), roast pork by the pound, Chinese dim sum steam buns with different fillings and more. Going to try the shumai (steamed dumpling) next time. Place is small without any seating but you’re probably on the way to a gathering with the goods from here or just stopping for a quick finger food snack. Dont be afraid to ask questions if you aren’t sure what they have!

Really cool little spot. With very reasonable prices. We got three different items and they were all great. We got a couple different stuffed buns that they have and they were both very good and we also got some pork and that was amazing as well. The ladies that work there are all very friendly and you’re in and out of there quick because it’s like a cafeteria style line.

Is good ?

Doesn’t look like much so I knew this place would be a hidden gem, and it does not disappoint. Some of the juiciest duck and best dimsum outside of convoy. If you’re into simple Chinese bakery staples, this spot is so so good. Way better than anything in the area

Delicious roast duck! Yummers!

Good Chinese BBQ for a hole in the wall kind of place. The roast pork was good (even when eaten cold) and crispy.

Best place you can get authentic chinese food.The price goes up, but the taste is totally worth.1st time here ? Try siu mei and bbq pork.

I came here for some duck for Thanksgiving and it did not disappoint! I read all the reviews and saw that this was so called "the best roast duck in San Diego" and thought I'd give it a try. Honestly they give the biggest quantity and best quality. Take it from a girl who's lived most of her life on LA Chinatown duck. This is top tier. Keep in mind it is a hole in the wall and it's cash only, but most of the best places are.

I had a sesame bun (amazing dessert), steamed pork bun, baked pork bun and some roast pork. Everything was delicious! They also have whole roast duck, pork spare ribs, and some more exotic options. I wish I could go back right now for another sesame bun!

I'm sure I'm already preaching to the choir when I say that this is easily the best roast duck in San Diego.As for the buns, don't let people's reviews stop you from trying them yourself, like I foolishly almost did. The bread is soft and sweet and the BBQ pork inside is really good. I added some pictures for reference (There was more duck, but my mom already started eating before I took pictures.) You won't regret trying it, and it's all reasonably priced.I honestly think that the 1 star and 2 star reviews complaining about the taste come from lifelong smokers who burnt out all their taste buds. ?‍♂️Also if you do end up LIKING this place, give it a GOOD REVIEW. Businesses, especially smaller ones need as much help as they can get during these times, and a lot of people drop reviews only if they had a bad experience. Help out your local businesses.
