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.

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.
