Tai Hoa B.b.q. - Saint Paul

Best duck around. Don't let the light rail construction stop you from heading over to University Ave. in St. Paul to pick up some amazing Vietnamese BBQ duck the best $20 you can spend in the Twin Cities. While there is a table should you feel an absolute need to start chowing down as soon as you have the duck in hand, the preferable option is to take it home, open a nice bottle of Pinot Noir and enjoy! Do your part to keep this business open and thriving through the current construction mess you won't be sorry!

Tai Hoa is a hidden gem in the Twin Cities, serving delicious Vietnamese BBQ. Their roast duck and roast pig are outstanding, with crispy skin, tender meat, and perfect seasoning. You can request the duck to be uncut or sliced in the traditional Asian method with a cleaver. This is a great option if you plan to use the duck in a noodle dish, rice dish, or soup.

This restaurant is not really a place for lunch, but more of a butcher shop that also serves traditional Vietnamese sides and bread. However, the meat is delicious! Just be aware that they only accept cash as payment.

Really nifty hole in the wall spot. The roast duck was easily some of the best I've had. As a note the place is cash only so make sure to keep cash on hand

Tai Hoa is our family's go-to spot for delicious roast duck. This small, family-owned business offers a variety of options to choose from. Just a heads up, they only accept cash so make sure to grab some from an ATM nearby before heading over. Once you have cash in hand, you're ready to enjoy some amazing BBQ. The friendly owners are always there and we see them every time my wife and I visit.
