We were late for dinner. This restaurant was open until late on a weekday (9 PM) and seemed like a good place. We thought we would give it a try, it turned out to be quite good. The place is difficult to find located in an alley and a tad congested but good food nonetheless. The complimentary green tea was... More

The place is difficult to find, no signage. It is in a weird location in a alley by the bank. If you were not a local, you would have a difficult time finding it! So keep asking it is worth the hunt. The actual resturant is unassuming. The food is the best. We actually liked it so much we went... More

We tried eating at Tommy's Wok as it was highly recommended. The restaurant is small hard to find but worth the hunt. Seating space is close quarters and noisy but food is delicious! We had the the Kung Pao Prawns (spicy) with noodles and vegetables were cooked perfectly. It was not spicy - we like it with more spicy flavor... More

Close to S.F. quality. Good variety. Medium pricing, not inexpensive. Regularly buy take-out from here. Locals favorite.

I was astonished when my mu shu pork arrived with flour tortillas rather than the traditional wraps. This was gross and I couldn't eat it. I asked for some rice and was charged for it, even though what they presented me wasn't acceptable. The restaurant was very drafty.....every time someone opened the door we froze. All in all a very... More

We saw the good reviews and thought Tommy's might be just what we wanted: A tasty but unpretentious meal. And that's what we got. We had chow mein and 1/2 roasted duck with steamed buns. The Chinese seasonings were done with a fine touch and the prices were quite reasonable. We see they feature lunch Dim Sum and we are... More

Just decide if you want to order take out or to eat in this restaurant. My wife and I decided to order take out and were glad we did. It's a small establishment and very noisy, but who cares. We really love to go to new places and this was one for the books. The mu shu pork was awesome... More

A trip to Carmel is not complete unless you have a meal at Tommy's Wok. Tucked away among the shops and a bank is one of the best Asian food restaurants I've ever come across. Hot and spicy eggplant . . . . heavenly. If you only try one thing, it's that. Also a must is the walnut shrimp. The... More
