This is the most authentic place to experience Chinese-style BBQ (烤串) in San Francisco. Plus, they stay open late, making it a perfect spot for a late-night snack after a night out! View all feedback.
What Sam R doesn't like about Top Sf Bbq:
I ordered a selection of skewers, but they all had the same seasoning. I couldn’t tell if I was eating pork, beef, or chicken since they all tasted alike. They were overly seasoned with cumin. View all feedback.
Please read before ordering!! I don't write a lot of reviews but I am so livid because this place is a rip off... $55 bucks deliver on DoorDash and it can't even fill 1 person up. They have the audacity to put 4 pieces of small meat on a skewer and charge over 3.5 for each stick? I ordered 10 skewers total some were more expensive than the others but totaling $55 please see the pic and be aware that this is what you get for a couple of lame skewers for the price. If you sort the reviews and look at the 1 star or even the 2 and the generous 3 stars that were given to them. most of them say the portion of food is absolutely crazy for what you pay and the food all taste the same cause they use the same seasoning on everything. You can't tell the difference between the diff types of meats. Note to management I know food prices have gone up I will happily pay for it but the amount of food? That's robbery! I can easily buy a good piece of steak for under 40 bucks and will get me actually full I ordered 2 skewers that cost 6 bucks with 5 small pieces on eachIf you live close by do yourself a favor and go to any shabu shabu or Korean bbq or Thai or All You Can eat and BBQ whatever at least you'll be full or... HECK! have a full blown meal and an experience at house of prime rib! It Won't be as expensive as this place! I can order myself a whole fricking crab and a side of fried rice for this price!! Wtf?! How can you do people like that?
Very good Chinese Barbecue, and also maybe the best Asian noodles I have ever had. They may not be the Chinese place you go for a cheap meal on a routine basis, but for something special, go and try, it really is a notch above most Chinese places.By the way, 4 stars means very good for me there has been to much star inflation on yelp, such that now it seems like places want only five stars. However for me, 4 stars is really worth going back for.
Came here with friends on a Friday night, not too busy, and we were promptly seated. Throughout the night, we tried almost all the skewers they had available. My favorites were the gizzard, beef, pork belly, and bacon wrapped enoki.The gizzard and beef, alongside many of the other skewers, tasted mostly the same cept for texture. Notes of cumin, fennel, and chili oil.The pork belly was crisp and delicious, and the bacon wrapped enoki was sweet and flavorful.The service was relatively fast, and the servers were attentive and very accommodating. We ended up ordering way too much, and the check was pricier than any of us anticipated, haha. Would recommend checking it out if you're in the mood for some yummy skewers
Yummy skewers. We came late at night and had no problem being seated. The skewers come out fast enough too. There are a ton of options. They had new ownership change this past year so worth giving this place another shot.I think they put the same dry seasoning on all their skewers so everything kind of tastes the same. They should vary it up more.The bacon enoki is good, and some of the other ones but I don't remember which ones exactly. Good service and friendly staff. This place hit the spot for us.
Service was fast but everything was overcooked and every dish had a dusting of a spicy rub that made everything taste exactly like the next dish. My hot sake was served cold. Not returning.
