Top's Cafe

Best roast duck & rice plate in SF for $11. I've patronize Top's Cafe since forever! Before covid this was full service restaurant. Still serving the community as a deli like service. Come and enjoy the flavors! You won't be disappointed.

Went there for 3 items for $10 over rice I thought it taste good I think it is cash only that is what the guy told me unless has to order over certain amount

Lived in neighborhood since 2009, restaurant struggled during COVID, supported them throughout. Then 10/2025 changed ownership. Dishonest BBQ chefs, if they see young customers that are inexperienced or different race, they won't hesitate to take advantage. Paid $12 for 80% box of rice with bones. They're saving the good pieces for their own ppl. Go elsewhere!

Indoor dining is not available. There's usually a line for their BBQ take-out items. At 7pm, they were out of BBQ pork. I had to resort to their BBQ duck w/rice $10. Their BBQ items are spot on. Good flavors with enough moisture and not dry. The customers from the old defunct Wing Hing down the block are now coming here. I didn't see a line at where Wing Hing used to be, Ming Hing. This is a good Chinese BBQ take-out restaurant for the San Bruno Ave. neighborhood.

Came back to SF and searching for nostalgia. Top's was a place o frequented back in the days Surprised you find there is no longer sit down dining and the menu is only BBQ and cabbage is the only vegetable available. Since we were there, might as well get some BBQ as we are heading to a friend's for lunch. Got a duck, some char siu, and roast pork. Everything was ok but no longer spectacular. Char siu fat and lean ratio is off. More lean than fat which made the meat dry. The duck no longer has the crispy skin and the meat isn't as flavorful. Roast pork is good with a nice crispy skin. Overall, would not come back. There are better options in the city.
