    Smoked Beef Cheeks and Mac Goreng
    Christine G.

    I heard a lot of great things about Fikscue, so my friends and I decided to grab a quick dinner here before the Valkyries game. They were not too busy yet when we visited, so we were able to order quickly and get a table outside. I ordered Smoked Beef Cheeks and Mac Goreng. The beef cheeks were tender and had a smoky flavor; I liked the char on the beef cheeks. The mac goreng was interesting. It was like mac and cheese, but it had savory Indonesian flavors. However, both dishes were too salty, so it was hard to enjoy. I honestly thought it was just my food that was salty, but my friends' food was salty too. They had the Rendang Plate, and they didn't like it at all because of the saltiness. I'll probably give Fikscue another try, but not anytime soon. The price is a bit on the pricier side since it is in Thrive City. The view in the seating area is pretty neat, and the staff was nice and welcoming.

    SF definitely needed this BBQ spot that combines top notch meat with Indonesian sides. But be prepared to pay a pretty sum! Fikscue gets 4 stars for SAFAV: Service Ambiance Food Alcohol x Value for Money

    Wow, some of the best bbq I've had in a long time. We ordered brisket sandwiches, potato salad, and a sausage. The ribs looked amazing too. We were able to grab a table outside. The view overlooks the bay. They had a TV outside as well, we watched some of the World Cup. I would definitely recommend a visit.

    Where the magic happens.

    Went for lunch today. No line and sat outside with my group of 5. Staff was super awesome. I asked them to throw together a plate of que for 5 so they did. Everything I tried was amazing. Stand out for sure was the brisket. That's the best brisket I've ever had. This place is 5 star legit and if you're a que fan you don't want to miss this place. What a nice addition to que starved SF!

    The wall menu of delights.

    I've been wanting to try the East Bay location forever, but was discouraged by the distance and the infamous line. So I've had my eye on this one. If you're not there for an event at the Chase center, it's maybe a little odd, but it's nice being right off of the water. There's even a nice view from the outdoor seating area or you could take your food across the street and hang in the park and walkways along the bay. You order from the counter where they slice up your meats and serve out premade sides, so the service is pretty fast. There was no outrageous line thankfully. There was a large number friendly faces working behind the counter and in the kitchen, which is so very Indonesian to me. It was delicious and I would love to try the other diverse dishes on the menu. The only nitpick is that I wanted everything to be just a little bit warmer. I've never had that complaint before! Beef Back Ribs: They have the giant "dino rib" short rib cut in addition to these regular back ribs. We opted for the back ribs and they were delicious and still meaty. Good smoke, tender meat and chew on the edges. It seems like they're using a marinade and not a rub. Loved them. Nasi Goreng: I enjoyed this though it's different from nasi goreng that I've had in the past. It was a little heavier on shrimp paste than I prefer, but still good. Rujak Slaw: No notes! Just a really good and crunchy peanutty slaw. It's nice to offset the meat with a nice pile of acidic veggies. Rendang Plate: Classic delicious rendang with fall-apart chunks of beef. It comes with rice, sambal, perkedel (potato fritter), a perfectly crispy-edged fried egg, and a pile of crunchy krupuk. The whole presentation is really nice.

    I've heard great things about this place and it's rare to hear about a good bbq spot in the bay. I came here before a Warriors game and was so exited to try the fusion between Indonesia and Texas bbq. This place is order first as most of the food is already prepared and go find your own seats. Brisket (4/5): So dry spots, but so juicy. The flavor was smoky and juicy. Cheddar jalapeño sausage (5/5); This is great to share as the cheese just bursts with flavor. The sausage is savoring with Indonesian flavors. Mac Goreng (4/5): I thought this was going to be like mi goreng but Mac. It tasted like a Mac n cheese with lots of spice. I thought it was unique to try and it was heavy. This will probably my favorite pregame whenever I go to Warriors games now.

    Delicious, flavorful food here with beautiful views! We ordered the rendang plate, a small bite portion of chicken skewers, and veggie dumplings. I love how packed my plate was with brisket and the accompanying sides of kale curry, fried egg, potato fritters, rice, and garlic chips. The side of chicken skewers was very substantial too with some sides. We loved everything we ate. The service was quick as most of the food was ready to go, apart from the veggie dumplings, which were made fresh to order. It is important to note that this location is outdoor seating only, but we had perfect weather when we went, and it was super pleasant to sit outside and have a view of the water while we ate. It also definitely gets busy on game days and concert nights so keep that in mind. I would love to go back!

    I wanted to try Fikscue at their original Alameda location but I didn't want to brave the long line there. I was stoked to learn that they opened another location by the Chase Center. I came here with a couple of friends on the weekend. There was no line and they had everything in stock! This could be a lowkey great solution for people who want to try Fikscue without the all morning commitment of waiting in line. There is a large outdoor seating area that is covered and has nice water front views. There is limited in door seating. Ordering is straightforward at the counter and the staff is nice. By far my favorite thing was the Rendang plate! The slow cooked brisket was super moist and flavorful. The kale curry was a nice compliment to the meat and it had a complimentary coconut milk flavor to balance the heaviness of the meat. At $23, it's a bit on the expensive side but the food is hearty and the quality is there. For BBQ, we got the smoked brisket and Dino rib. The meat met expectations but I wasn't blown away by it. Even though the meat wasn't dry, it also wasn't very moist. The dry rub had a nice peppery taste and it wasn't too salty. For the sides we got the Rujak slaw and Mac Goreng. Of the 2, the slaw was refreshing and it had a nice acidity to it. I think the Mac Goreng tasted a bit bland and I didn't think it was worth the price. Overall, I would come back for the Rendang plate because it was so dang good! In terms of the BBQ side of things, it was solid but not mind blowing. The sides were hit or miss. For 3 people this was more than enough food. I would come back to try some of the other plates like the Ayam plate or beef cheek.

    Brisket, rendang plate, the rice, bao ( peanut sauce is amazing) and the wonderful chicken we received by accident!

    Line moved quickly and despite the numerous patrons they still had all items. Food was fresh and delicious and staff went above and beyond to handle our family food allergy safely and professionally. And despite a slight order mixup at checkout they comped the error and were kind and gracious. The food is unique and flavorful- one of our favorite bbq spots!

    dino rib, beef ribs, nasi goreng
    Katherine L.

    finally had a chance to try thanks to the chase center world cup watch party for usa v paraguay! ordered to go and picnicked in front of the big screen. liked the dino rib and their yellow sauce. beef ribs were fine. nasi goreng was pretty satisfying. overall wish all items were smokier but pretty happy with the indonesian influences. service was nice and they gave us extra sauces which was really nice.

    Dino rib
    Tracy L.

    I had never even heard of Fikscue until this past weekend when my cousin wanted to stop by, and I actually did not believe her explanation of how big the ribs are. Until I saw it with my own eyes The servers were super kind and took the time to explain each cut to us, so we ended up going with the famous dino rib and added the mac goreng on the side. & the dino rib was insane! Even though I haven't tried a ton of BBQ places, this was easily one of the most tender, juicy, and flavorful meats I've ever had. It literally falls right off the bone. My partner, who loves BBQ, said this is his favorite spot and he still can't stop thinking about it to this day. Highly recommend the mac goreng too! Already waiting for the day I can go back

    3.5/5 Located on the second level of Chase Center, Fikscue is an indonesian BBQ spot with outdoor seating. They have meats, sides, and sandwich options. My friend and I got the Smoked Brisket and Dino Ribs. The Dino Ribs were juicy, fatty, and thick but the Smoked Brisket meat was dry and tough. I would have wanted more of the smokiness to come through especially after seeing the equipment that they had. For $72, I'm not sure if this was worth it but I would come back to try the other things.

    This looks refreshing but kind of sour like some in SF on my social media feed

    Don Juan Valentines Edition: We still have the Super Bowl hangover even during Valentines week . We still crave the BBQ we just had Sunday during the big game. It's rare to find descent BBQ in San Francisco. The good BBQ in San Francisco is usually Hawaiian, Korean, and some Memphis and Texan BBQ. There is one place which has not only has American Texas type of BBQ but its fusionend with Indonesian flavors. They say food is the way to a man's heart. This place is located in Thrive City on Warriors Way. This is the place to go to satisfy your man's hunger on Valentine's Day and make him more joyous because the place is located next to the heart of Golden Warriors Dynasty home in San Francisco Chase Center. The experience of eating steps away from Chase Center with waterfront view and eating great BBQ makes an amazing Valentine's Day's combination. I had to try the Rendang Plate with smoked brisket and it was flavorful, juicy, and spicy. I also had the Ayam Bakar plate with bbq chicken. It was delicious with great flavor and you have to get saucy with their tangy dipping sauce. This a must try barbecue spot with heart in San Francisco for some smoked Indo-Tex barbecue. If your in SF and crave some good "barbecue "and don't have a "clue "then go to Thrive City in San Francisco to "Fikscue" for the food "rescue" Once the Super Bowl ends it's the end of the NFL football "season"but you can still grab some BBQ from all different types and "region"some from Texas, Memphis, Carolina, and the even Hawaiian that's "Polynesian" but this place is a fusion of American Texas style and "Indonesian"

    There is an outdoor dining area so it should not be a problem.

We ordered the Menemen and asked to add sujuk. The flavors were okay, but the bread that came with the plate was completely soggy, which really ruined the meal. I actually had to order a Simit on the side just so I could enjoy my breakfast with decent bread. We initially looked at the full Turkish breakfast, but at $42, it definitely didn't feel worth the price. The portion and variety of items are pretty limited for that price point, and it just doesn't give you that rich, endless spread you expect from an authentic Turkish breakfast experience. On a positive note, the baklava and tea were absolutely amazing! Overall, it was just okay. As someone who has been to many Turkish restaurants, I know how incredible and diverse the cuisine can be. They really need to step up the variety and value.

We've tried Halal Wings Plus a few times before throughout the years and it was always a pretty solid choice. The neighborhood is a bit shady, so beware of your surroundings and watch where you're stepping, cuz you don't wanna be stepping on sh** or b@rf! The menu is above the cashier, so you just order and pay up front and get the receipt with your order number. They'll call the number out when it's ready. I think there's roughly 8-10 tables, if you decide to dine in. ***OUR PICKS*** We ordered 20 wings with 2 flavors. LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS ~ lots of pepper flavor but the lemon did not shine. And the chicken meat inside didn't seem marinated and tasted bland. It probably would be better if they added lemon juice after it was cooked or had given us some lemons to squeeze over the chicken before we dug in. 3.5/5 MANGO HABANERO CHICKEN WINGS ~ the sauce was spicy and tangy sweet, but it doesn't seem like they marinate their wings. It's only the sauce that gives the chicken flavor. 3.5/5 The wings aren't at all crispy. And flavor was ok and could have been better. But what was off-putting was the smell of the wings after we boxed it up and took it home! It had this gamey chicken smell as if it was old chicken. At least none of us got sick, but I'll think twice about revisiting.
