I’m sure I’m already preaching to the choir when I say that this is easily the best roast duck in San Diego.

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.

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

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!

One of the best Cantonese bbq joints in town! Cash only as usual for these type of roasted Chinese bbq joints.

Among several bakeries all around San Diego, Tom’s has the best bao consistently. I’ll definitely be coming back here again and again.

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

Tom’s has roast ducks approved by 80+ year old Asian women. This place is a hidden gem. Delicious duck and BBQ pork. The coconut buns, an unexpected find in a BBQ place, are a must try. The BBQ buns are pretty good. Friendly service. Cash only. Go early in the day for best selection, end of day mostly left over and limited.

Some items are excellent like their crispy roast pork. Others need improvement like their dimsum bbq pork bun because it’s mostly bread and lacks enough filling. Decent prices but cash only. Google hours are wrong too. They open earlier but a lot of fun sum items aren’t out yet like their excellent egg tarts with flaky crust and lard. Legit. Their duck is ok, $25 for a whole duck is good value but I’ve definitely had better duck at a lot of places. Parking in plaza is problematic on the weekend so park across the street at the large Mexican market.
