As someone who used to live in Texas and loves bbq, I was pleasantly surprised by this Indonesian BBQ spot! They serve up some of the best brisket and ribs that I've had outside of Texas. We tried the chicken sate and mac goreng, where were interesting but only ok. Fikscue is located at a prime spot in the Chase Center but I heard they sell out of their meats fast and are only open a couple days a week -- go early and check hours of operation! read more

Wow. The hits make up for the misses. Really great brisket Good rujak slaw Dino rib very very good Rendang outstanding Back rib okay Chicken meh Kale curry very very good Disappointing vegetable dumplings, just dough read more

I think it's safe to say that with Nite Yun in the Ferry Building, Fikscue in Thrive City, and the plethora of high quality Burmese spots, SF truly deserves the title of "Southeast Asian food capital of America" I was blown away by the bold flavors at Fikscue (and I haven't even tasted the ribs yet!) I got the Ayam plate which came with grilled chicken, a fried egg, kale curry, turmeric rice, potato fritters, chips, eggplant and tofu. Everything was super flavorful and fresh! The staff also gave me a side of peanut sauce which I added to the chicken for extra flavor. Can't wait to come back here and try the ribs next time. As a bonus, they also have amazing views of the water and parks nearby! read more

absolutely every meat is delicious, JUST DON'T OVER ORDER. i think the lbs ordering system is easy to over order so just be weary of how many lbs you'll order in respect to your party. i got the brisket and one dino rib as well as the mac goreng and fried rice. this is indeed a lot of food, BUT a lot of gooood food. my favorite meat is the brisket. it was tender and melt-in-your-mouth kind of texture. definitely my pick. the dino rib was fun to eat haha. i thought the mac and rice goreng were okay, definitely a fun side to subside the meaty-er bites. read more

Located on the top floor of warriors back entrance statium near the brewery. You order first and then self serve yourself for table, utensils and water. Seating is outdoor and has a nice view of the bay. We got the brisket and Dino rib. The brisket had some dry spot but the Dino rib was amazing. Great flavor and very tender. The plates are a good way to dry different sides. We liked the brisket plate the best. The rice on the chicken was good. But the chicken itself was pretty dry. Overall would come back read more

Nice little Indonesian southern bbq fusion place on the second floor of thrive city outside of chase center. Tons of outdoor seating with a covered patio (no indoor seating) and a nice view of the bay. The bbq was tender and flavorful. I liked the bbq sauces which were self serve on the side as well as the pickled onion/banana peppers (not self serve but they're good). We really enjoyed the sausage and beef cheeks. Also love how there's some unique sides that showcase Indonesian flavors! You don't have to go to a game to eat here since it's outside, and it's a nice charming clean place to have a meal! read more

Finally got around to visiting on my last trip back to SF. The brisket and ribs are AMAZING. That rib meat was fall off the bone goodness and that brisket was smoked perfect. Very friendly staff. Great outdoor space with a view of the bay and their giant smoker. Both BBQ sauces are fire! Be back real soon. Chicken was also good but definitely the beef dishes are the main attraction read more

When I first heard about Fikscue Indonesian bbq, I was super excited to try it especially after finding out they opened a second location in Mission Bay. The first time I came here, the lady who helped me seemed a bit rushed even though there were no other customers inside. She did not explain things clearly and said I could do plating or BBQ but it was whatever they had left. When I looked at the sheet that listed what they had left, it showed only the chicken. I clarified with her since it looked like the briskets were out on the menu sheet. She said they had that but just no beef rib. Pretty confusing! I ordered a pound of briskets to go and it was close to $40. The brisket itself was good with the orange sauce it came with. It was not my favorite bbq spot but it was decent. No where close to comparison with Texas BBQ. It felt like a fast food spot for take out but it had a nice patio where you could enjoy the ocean bay. The second time I came, I asked another staff about the plating option. She said I need to order the type of bbq meat first and then add the sides for additional cost. Did not sound like plating was an option since it was just pay as you select. I ordered half a pound of brisket this time, one side of the fried rice, and one side of the Indonesian style mac and cheese. Both sides cost $10 each. This time, the half pound of brisket seemed juicer than the first time. However, it was pretty salty. It did not come with the orange sauce either, just the bbq sauce. Brisket did not impress my husband or myself this time. However, the mac and cheese side was pretty tasty. The mac and cheese was super flavorful with a kick of spice. We were surprised our oldest toddler (less than 3) was able to eat it. At first, my son stuck out his tongue and said spicy, but then he continued to eat it. Guess I would need to get that again. The fried rice was good too but definitely recommend the mac and cheese over it. Overall, decent Indonesian BBQ located at the Chase Center. read more

Had pretty high expectations since I heard it just opened. Was interested to find out it was Indonesian inspired BBQ which is a really unique concept! Unfortunately, the ordering process was really slow... on a Saturday we were right at the door, and it took 30min just to get to the ordering area. You can see all the meats and sides while you're deciding what to get. What we ordered: -Smoked Brisket: very tender, but really dry. needed the bbq sauce provided in bottles at the table -Beef Back Ribs: fell off the bone, my favorite of the meal -Nasi Goreng: fluffy fried rice, but had clumps of rice in it... and not a ton of flavor -Sate Ayam (chicken skewers): also very dry and needed the peanut sauce -Ayam Lumpia: thick and stuffed with vermicelli. i liked the mix of sauces on the top Maybe they're still working out all the details since they're still new. Seating was gorgeous though! Great view of the bay and would really only come here if you're in the area, I wouldn't make a trip out here. BBQ is a pretty pricey cuisine and I felt like this was ok read more

We came to Fikscue before a Valkyries game on a Saturday evening. They were sold out of several items (including the plate options) and were backed up on some others so I would suggest arriving at least an hour before tipoff for a Valkyries game, probably longer for a Warriors game. The line took about 20 minutes and most of the food was ready immediately. All of the food we got was incredible so I can't be too sad they were sold out of other stuff! The brisket sandwich was my favorite item; it was literally stuffed with meat and the bread was SO buttery and pleasantly chewy. The BBQ sauce had a sweet peppery flavor that I really enjoyed. The mac garong was not like a macaroni salad or mac and cheese, it was drier with pieces of meat and lots of spices. The sausage was pretty unique so it's worth trying plus it's a good supplement if you want a little more protein. read more

Stopped by for lunch. We ordered the brisket, beef ribs and had the Mac goreng. Let's start with the Mac goreng. Not your typical grandma's mac salad. It had great and complex flavor with a variety of Indonesian seasonings and grated cheese on top. Now the brisket. Remember his meats are smoked for 12 hours. They then rest for 12 hours before being reheated and served. The brisket was tender, sweet but not overly sweet. There was a pronounced smoke flavor that was not so overbearing as to impact the flavor of the Indonesian spices. Lastly the beef ribs. They were good, but between the brisket and the ribs I would choose the brisket. Another note. We had a chance to talk to and meet the owners. They happily answered our questions. were very friendly and let us sample some of the food. before we decided to order.. We even discussed their decision to expand to San Franscico. read more

Indonesian Texas Halal Barbecue is not something you see every day, and Fikscue's new location by the Chase Center makes their spiced and smoked meats more accessible than ever. Unlike at their original Alameda location, lines aren't a problem here, and the counter service was quick at taking orders, slicing meats, and dishing up plates. Their meats by the pound included their lean Beef Brisket and meaty Beef Back Ribs, served on the bone, along with sides of pickles and two sweet and tangy sauces. We also tried their Indonesian-inspired fusion sides including Rujak Slaw, a sweet, crunchy mixture of chopped cabbage, cucumber, and pineapple dressed in peanut sauce; and my favorite, the Mac Goreng, a take on mac and cheese, made of macaroni mixed with corned beef, bell peppers, egg, green onions, fried shallots, and shredded cheese. The creative combination was deliciously salty, cheesy, crunchy, and creamy all at the same time--a definite highlight! In my opinion, the barbecue meats here didn't seem overtly "Indonesian," but the Indonesian rice plates really showcased bold Southeast Asian flavors. The Ayam Bakar plate featured a spiced, grilled chicken leg quarter, served with coconut turmeric rice, kale curry, eggplant balado (eggplant with sambal), a potato fritter, a fried egg, garlic chips, and a green sambal. But my favorite item of all was the Rendang Plate, which featured slow-cooked smoked brisket in a spiced coconut milk curry sauce. Since the rendang was made with smoked meat, it had a depth of flavor that went beyond your typical rendang, and all of the vegetable side dishes were deliciously flavorful too! read more

It's criminal that this location isn't more packed!! When I first came to Fikscue in Alameda location many months ago, we waited about 2 hours in line and got the last Dino rib. Meanwhile in the Thrive City location, had no line even in hours after opening and had everything still available. Come to this Fiskue location before they get popular! The Dino rib and rendang plate are must haves, and I love both of their barbeque sauces. But you really can't go wrong with any of their dishes. This location may a bit hidden since it's in the back of the Chase Center, but has lots of seating and a great view of the Bay in the back. It's also next to Harmonic Brewing for some good beers to pair with your barbeque. read more

YUM! Finally got a chance to try Fikscue and it didn't disappoint. Brisket is my jam. I got about 3/4 pound with a mix of fatty and lean brisket and it was really good. The type of good that puts a smile on your face with a nod of enjoyment while eating it. I went here before a Warriors game (on my birthday) and this was the perfect meal. Good bbq takes time and time is expensive, so this isn't cheap, but the quality is high. It was the perfect meal before the game. The service was friendly and not rushed. It would be better if there were two people taking meat orders and slicing and weighing meat to help the line move along and to help answer questions, but that is just my 2 cents. Anyway, I'm not a huge fan of traditional bbq sides. I don't dislike them, but in general, I think they are overhyped, over priced and somewhat boring. The sides here however are delicious, innovative and the perfect compliment to traditional bbq. The coconut turmeric rice, the eggplant and tofu with the red sauce, the fried egg, green sambal, garlic chips, and kale curry were all BANGERS! My mouth is watering just thinking about it all. The potato fritter was also good, but not quite as good as the rest of the sides. They also put some pickled red onion and peppers on your plate for acid to help cut through the rich fattiness of the all the meat. I will definitely be back. Indonesian sides were meant to be paired with bbq, I'd like to try the beef cheeks, but I'll probably get the brisket again when I go, lol. The dino rib is tempting, but it is a lot of meat (twss) and it is pretty pricey. Probably worth it, but still. Thanks for a great meal. pro tip, you can bring your food to the brewery next door, and you can grab a beer next door and bring it over to eat with your bbq, either way. If you are going before a Warrior game, give yourself some time, the line moved sort of slowly... read more

Taxas craft BBQ with a side of Indonesian food is a match made in heaven. The hubs and I stumbled upon Fikscue at the Chase Center and DAMN was it delicious. The halal bbq spot serves some incredibly tender meats including giant dino ribs and brisket. The highlight for me were their Indonesian dishes. The Ayam Bakar plate was an explosion of flavor. And their nasi goreng just hit the spot. You've gotta check this place out. AYAM BAKAR PLATE Grilled chicken marinated in Indonesian spices. Served with Urap, egg plant balado, coconut turmeric rice, potato fritter, fried egg, garlic chips and green sambal DINO RIBS & BRISKET Dry rub and smoked NASI GORENG Indonesian fried rice with corned beef, eggs, vegetables.

4.5 STARS 4 hour wait?! My geriatric millennial knees are buckling just thinking about it. I rarely cross the bridge so I'm happy that Fikscue opened their second location in the city. They're at Chase Center - Thrive City next to Harmonic Brewing. This humble small business started as a backyard pop-up during the pandemic in 2020 with the owners delivering BBQ around the bay. They opened their first brick and mortar in 2023 in Alameda. They've been named one of the Top Restos in America by NYT and one of the Best New Restos in America by Eater for their Texas-style, Halal BBQ and Indonesian Fusion dishes. I read that the wait can reach up to 4 hours at their Alameda location. Thankfully, the wait at Fikscue's new location isn't crazy for now. H O U R S During the soft opening, Fikscue is only open for home games. Per staff, after the soft opening, anticipated hours are Thursday-Saturday, 11 am - 8 pm (or until sold out). Check their IG for updates. L I N E / W A I T For 5/6/25 (second day of soft opening), the line didn't really start until 4:15 pm for 5 pm opening. And, by 5 pm, there was maybe 15-17 people. We dined in and were in/out in 1 hour. M E N U - Texas-style Halal BBQ: Brisket, Dino Rib, Beef Back Ribs, Jalapeño Cheese Sausage, etc. - Indonesian dishes (steam trays): Nasi Goreng (fried rice w/ corned beef), Curry, Rendang (braised beef w/ coconut milk + spices), and more. - Sides: Slaw, potato salad, mac goreng, turmeric rice, etc. Wish they offered roti sisir, Indonesian pull apart bread. Halal beef is sourced from Creekstone Farms and halal chicken is from Crescent. F O O D * Dino Rib, dry rubbed and smoked ($38/lb) // one rib: $37.62: https://tinyurl.com/w32c4689 Intensely beefy, rich, and juicy with a crispy, salty+peppery bark. No full smoke ring. SO good tho. Quite fatty so def something to share between 2-3 people. * Brisket ($38/lb) // $22.80: https://tinyurl.com/3shmvffk - Request wet/moist cut Fav meat! Dry rubbed and smoked for 12 hours, the brisket was firm, moist, and tender with a gentle pull. Well-spiced, peppery bark with a pleasant smoky flavor. Not too salty. * Jalapeño Cheese Sausage ($8/link) - Request whole so cheese stays warm Great snap, deliciously savory with melty cheese and spice from the jalapeño. BOMB! * Beef Back Rib, dry rubbed then glazed ($28/lb) // one rib: $16.80: https://tinyurl.com/ybfm3nsn The only lowlight of the BBQ. We received the end rib that was half dry jerky, half chewy. But, it did have a nice smoke ring and flavorful bark. Didn't taste much glaze tho. Sauces: BBQ sauce (mildly spicy) and honey mustard sauce (great sweet tang). Condiments: Pickled onions and pickled banana peppers. * Rendang Plate ($23): https://tinyurl.com/tf3c4zp8 I know it's hard to find Indonesian food in the bay but this was a bit of a letdown. - Beef Rendang: While the leftover smoked brisket (lean cut) is braised in coconut milk and spices, it didn't rehydrate the dry, stringy pieces with some being hella salty. I was hoping for more bold, complex spices and heat to mellow the smoky flavor. - Kale Curry: Nice bitterness to cut through the meat sweats but prefer it with more coconut milk. - Garlic Chips: Look like shrimp chips, on the stale side. - White Rice: Quite dry, perhaps not cooked with enough water. - Potato Fritter: Didn't try. - Fried Egg w/ sambal: Lacey edges with an oozy yolk and good heat. * Rujak Slaw (Side-$10) A mandatory side of crisp cabbage slaw with cucumber and pineapple dressed in a tangy sweet Indonesian peanut sauce. We topped it with the complimentary pickled onions for an acidic bite. S E R V I C E Friendly with positive vibes all around. When ordering, there's a bottleneck because there's only one staff at the meat station. A M B I A N C E Modern casual industrial vibes with Indonesian murals and bright yellow smokers outside. Indoor: counter seats only. Outdoor: three dedicated tables and a handful of counter seats with view of the Bay and Bayfront Park. You can also sit at Harmonic Brewing's outdoor tables. 90s Bay Area rap playlist and several TVs to watch the game. P A R K I N G Check signs for meters on game nights. They're enforced through 10 pm and some are tow-a-way! Overall, I get the hype for Fikscue and it's great to see a humble couple being recognized for their unique mix of Texas-style BBQ and Indonesian fusion dishes. However, it seems your experience may vary, depending on the time you go and which cuts you get. 4.5 stars rounded up for the soft opening. read more

Located outside of Chase Center, I was expecting a significant markup on prices just because of their location but there was not! Fikscue kept their pricing the same as their original Alameda location. I was happy to be able to try their food without having to line up for an hour (so I hear) at their Alameda location. I ordered a single dino rib bone and a side of rujak slaw to help cut the richness of the dino rib. Both had great flavor and the slaw was very unique due to their Indonesian fusion and flavors. read more

Solid food, great views, but bundle up Tried Fikscue and overall it was a good experience, with a few caveats. The food is good, though definitely on the pricey side (which isn't shocking given the location). The potato salad was fine but nothing memorable. The rice, on the other hand, was surprisingly good, flavorful and well done. The clear standout was the Dino Rib: absolutely the star of the meal and worth ordering if it's available. The views are great, especially being right next to the water, but that also comes with a downside. There's no indoor or even covered seating, and the food gets cold fast. Eating outside in the freezing SF wind isn't exactly ideal. While this is somewhat expected given the location, it would be a big upgrade if they offered an indoor-outdoor setup, similar to other spots in the area. All in all, great setting and a strong main dish, but the lack of covered seating and high prices knock it down a star. Still worth checking out just dress warm and eat quickly. read more

Fikscue - DINOOOOOOOOO - Barbeque Near Me - San Francisco, California

4.5/5 for me :) Indo-Tex BBQ! What a concept! My sister in law told me about this place always having a line in Alameda, I heard people wait up to 4 hours x_x Tested my luck on their grand opening day and walked over after going climbing. I got there at 12:57 and ordered by 1:20, the line wasn't terrible which is why I opted to stay, maybe about 6-8 people ahead of me? I accidentally ordered so much food just for myself since I came alone xD I meant to just ask how big the Dino rib was and they ended up weighing and putting it down and I realized at check out when my total was $104. LOL. Anyways, I ordered a half lb of the smoked brisket, one bone of the Dino rib (dry rubbed & smoked), the Mac goreng, and the Rendang Plate. For starters, I basically only like barbecue if it's Texas barbecue and this place hit the spot. I ordered 1/2 lb of the smoked brisket ($38/lb) which was about 2 full slices, was a smidge on the dry side, but still moist and tender and easily cut with a spoon. Flavor was rich and savory, got that 14 hour smoked bbq taste. The Dino rib was my favorite! HUGE, I get why they call it Dino rib... but it's minimum to order 1 bone which was about 1.2 lbs, sucks that huge bone counts in the amount of meat at $38/lb. The meat was so soft, tender, and fell right off the bone sheeeesh. Good mixture of lean meaty meat & fat. Beefy rib flavor was to die for I almost didn't need the sauces. To talk about sauces, that orange sauce was a hittaaaa - tangy bbq! I enjoyed the Mac goreng ($10), it was like mi goreng in Mac n cheese form or should I say Mac only bc it wasn't cheesy. It was super yummy with the little crunchy bits and I would definitely order this again even if it meant coming here just for it. I wanted to get a taste of Indonesian food too, so I ordered the Rendang plate ($23) and I was impressed. I haven't really had Indonesian food so I can't attest of the authentic indo taste, but it was pleasant. The meat was the brisket in coconut milk and indo spices, which was really strong in flavor but also comforting. It came with rice, garlic shrimp chips, a potatoe fritter, a fried egg with sambal, and kale curry which almost tasted like collard greens you might have at a thanksgiving dinner. The Rendang plate has a lot of flavors going on and really gives this place the indo feel, it's definitely a must try. Service was great, the people were really welcoming and helpful in choosing what to get. There's some seating inside but I feel if there's a long line it'll feel a bit tight, but plenty of outdoor seating over looking the beautiful bay. I think as far as seating it would be a good place to sit and watch games outside on the TVs they have. Parking would either be the garage parking for the Chase center or metered street parking. read more

My first time here! Finally made it before a game. Overall i wasn't blown away but need to try again when I'm open to trying the saucey brisket. Owner is really nice and works the counter.

We've been wanting to try Fikscue for so long, but never found ourselves in Alameda - so happy they have a place in sf!! We went here on a Friday night and it was quite busy - we didn't realize there was a Warriors game that night lol but it wasn't too packed. We got the rendang plate and a quarter of the brisket. The rendang plate was so tasty! The greens were amazing. My only wish was that there was more curry in it, it seemed a little lighter than I was expecting. The brisket in the plate was wonderful; however the side brisket we got was a little stringy and dry. Not sure if we got a bad piece but the brisket in the rendang plate satisfied us. Overall would definitely recommend this place - worth the line! read more

Fikscue - rendang plate and side brisket - Barbeque Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is my favorite BBQ I've ever had in California. This is, hands down, worth the hype. Both times I've been, there hasn't been a line, and it was quick. There's some indoor seating (chairs), but self-serve sauces and water are outside under heat lamps. Rendang Plate - Biggest highlight to me. Both the brisket and kale were rich and flavorful, cooked in coconut-heavy sauces. Worth trying for sure. Potato fritter could be skipped. Brisket sandwich - flavorful and tender, just as it should be, and not too salty, which is easy to change if you want! It comes with a creamy sauce I liked, maybe a little like Chick-fil-A sauce. Dino rib - plenty tender, not a ton of food. I will probably never get it again due to the price. read more

Sampled the dino and brisket at the original location in Alameda, literally everything was Got to sample their offerings in the new location in SF and yes they had both the brisket and the dino rib still available also I got to sample the two versions of their fried rice and some one of the desserts Here is how it all faired Dino rib - massive, delicious, juicy, flavorful order this Brisket - juicy, tender Cilantro coconut rice - it was not sweet, you can taste the cilantro Nasi goreng - i don't know what was in this but it did have a slight kick and reminded me of indian briyani, order this Banana pudding - this was more like a filipino dish of all cream and vanilla wafers, literally spot on similar Glad location is close by will be coming here more often now lol anytime I need a fix for a dino rib Food ***** Price $$$ depends on what you get Service ***** helpful staff, friendly staff Ambiance ***** clean open, seating outside read more

Amazing BBQ in San Francisco--honestly, it might be the best in the city. The brisket was incredibly tender and practically melted in my mouth. The jalapeño sausage, however, wasn't my favorite; it was a bit too oily for my taste. The banana pudding was excellent--not overly sweet--and it was the perfect finish to balance out the richness of the BBQ. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try their Dino ribs and Indonesian-inspired sides. read more

Great new addition to Chase center, and the seating and views are unbeatable, with its second floor location and full view of the water. You order first, and they slice your brisket/prepare your meal on the spot, and then you self-pay before sitting down. Plenty of tables, thought it's all outdoors so definitely better to come on a nice day. We just tried the brisket and potato salad and both were really solid. Brisket was very tender, but on the leaner side for brisket, which I actually appreciated. They have a huge menu, so will be back to try more. read more

Long bookmarked, this popular BBQ eatery is now available in San Francisco. I've read and heard about this raging BBQ spot in Alameda and gave unsuccessfully gave great thought about finding a day and time to cross the bridge to bear the lines. I was overjoyed in hearing about the opening of this shop towards the back of Chase Center on the bay side of Thrive City. Opening in the early summer, the store had lines from the get go and, being there for a game or concert, I was worried about the timing in going to the event. On a Sunday late afternoon, my friend and I saw that the line looked manageable so we walked to the entrance as the 5th and 6th customers waiting. Studying their posted menus, I wanted to try EVERYTHING but was brainstorming about the amount of meat we could eat. My friend told me what he wanted to order which I didn't notice on the menu so I pivoted and followed his lead. We both had the brisket sandwich (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=iyyOwWZm7Ddv4M0aNjZIRA), 1/3 lb. chopped brisket, dressed with BBQ sauce our signature aioli, pickles and onions. Served on a brioche bun. We shared the Mac Goreng (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=waVhWI_-oX4zvf90_Ieohw), macaroni noodles mixed with corned beef, eggs, vegetable, garnished with cheese, green onion, and fried shallots. We also shared the Rujak slaw (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=waVhWI_-oX4zvf90_Ieohw), shredded cabbage, cucumber, and pineapple dressing with Indonesian, sweet and tangy peanut sauce. Where do I start. The sandwich is cut in half and had ample amounts of meat and garnishes (). The smokiness of the meat shines, perfectly complemented by the pickles and onions. I ate half since we would be sitting at the game for the next 2 hours. Grabbing extra utensils, we shared the two sides, both delicious yet different. The Mac was rich, their take on mac 'n cheese which gave us a chance to taste the corned beef; the green onion gave a little lightness but I didn't really make out the eggs in this. The slaw was like no other for me. The shredded cabbage and cucumber were perfectly seasoned with that addictively good dressing. Do note that there are peanuts in this if allergies are an issue. We barely put a dent on both sides as most of both went home for meals later in the week. I brought the slaw home and enjoyed it a couple days later. For beverage, I tried the Teh Botol (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=T2rEluhvKpYY-mDF_Su69A), less sweet option, an Indonesian sweet tea. This was excellent as it neutralized the bold flavors from food without being overly sweet. Do note that the slaw is dressed in the spot to preserve the crunchiness of the veggies. We had enough time to put our leftovers in my friend's car Big thanks to the cashier Parisha for her efficiency and helpful drink recommendation. She was also generous in offering us boxes and a bag for our unfinished food. It's always nice when people and cheerful and have smiles. I look forward to try other food from their extensive menu. read more

I definitely spent too much here haha. I was just so excited to try some great Indonesian Texas bbq. Service is deli style, ask for meat, say how much you want, and then get sides after. Beautiful outside area at thrive city. I got the Dino ribs, beef cheek, Tri tip, and the coleslaw. The coleslaw was a little sweet for my taste. My favorite was the Dino rib for sure. I got the end piece so I can get more of that beautiful smoky black ring on the meat. Very soft, can tell slow cooked, and the smoke flavor seeped through. Then the beef cheek. Nice springy bites and kept a good balance of meat and smoke flavor. Tri tip was good, but I wouldn't go back for it. Oh also got the iced tea drink they have. Refreshing. Love all the options at thrive city now. read more

If you're looking for a standout dining experience in San Francisco, Fiscque Restaurant is an absolute gem! This halal BBQ spot serves up some of the most delightful Indonesian recipes I've ever tasted. From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere sets the perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. The menu is a treasure trove of authentic flavors, showcasing a variety of dishes that are both beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. I highly recommend starting with the satay skewers--perfectly marinated and grilled to perfection, they practically melt in your mouth. The Nasi Goreng is another must-try; it's bursting with flavor and served with an array of toppings that elevate the dish even further. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure your dining experience is nothing short of excellent. Plus, the halal certification means you can enjoy your meal with peace of mind. Whether you're a fan of Indonesian cuisine or trying it for the first time, Fiscque is a culinary adventure you won't want to miss. I can't wait to return! read more

A little pricy, but well worth it for the brisket, dino rib, and rujak slaw. The beef cheek ($39/lb) was interesting and well-smoked, but the brisket and ribs are definitely much better. Lured by the idea of smoked brisket, we also tried the beef rendang; it was definitely smoky, but not super tender. My favorite things on the platter were the potato fritter and fried egg; I would pass on this again. The brisket and dino rib were comparable to Franklin's BBQ in Austin, and I'm delighted to have it easily accessible here. I usually hate coleslaw, but I loved the rujak slaw; the peanut sauce transforms it into a refreshing, perfect side. Would definitely come back. Apparently there's usually a long line; we arrived on Saturday a few minutes before opening and we were behind a few parties. read more

Nice place to eat at by Chase Center with lots of outdoor seating! Not many vegetarian/vegan options, but the fried veggie dumplings were pretty good but the filling was a bit bland. The peanut sauce provided added a lot of flavor. Barbecue looked really good and the plate looks like it has a lot of yummy options like kale curry! read more

Fikscue is hands down some of the best BBQ I've had in the Bay Area! The meat is perfectly smoked--tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The sides are just as impressive, with everything tasting homemade and thoughtfully crafted. The staff is super welcoming and passionate about their food, which really shows in every bite. The vibe is casual but still feels special, making it a great spot whether you're grabbing a quick bite or hanging out with friends and family. If you're a BBQ lover, this place is a must. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu! CON: parking. I couldn't find street parking. So I end up parking in the Chase garage. Even though I was there less than 1 hour, I was charged the 1 hour fee. read more

Great food and good customer service.I will definitely be going back. The Dino bone was so tender and juicy.

Was over at Harmonic brewing's 10th anniversary party yesterday and was so excited to go over and try Fik's bbq!!! Was greeted by some great staff, and also by Fik himself. Truly a master of his craft! He let me sample some burnt ends, which were fantastic, and of course I had to get his brisket, which I must say was perfect! The seasoning, the rub the texture the tenderness are all A+! I was even able to try his jalapeño cheese sausage, which I thought had a nice amount of smoke and the sausage also had a great snap to it! Very tasty! Also the location is ideal to have some Excellent BBQ! The hospitality, the quality of excellent barbecue, and the great location makes for a great place to go get Fantastic tasty BBQ! Thank you! read more

This has been the best barbecue I have had in the Bay Area. While it doesn't quite meet some of the top Texas Brisket I've had, it sure scratches the itch. It had a great bark and a good ratio of fat to meat, with a fairly tender bite. The beef ribs were perfectly tender with enough bite, plenty of smoke and crust, and absolutely flavorful. The coconut turmeric rice and the pickled sides, as well as the acidity in the sauces, helped to balance the fattiness and richness from the meat. Excellent service and plenty of outdoor seating (bonus that you can pair it with a beer from Harmonic next door). Best to avoid a game day where possible. read more

4.25 stars. Fikscue is an Indo-Tex BBQ joint with a huge following. Their original Alameda location "suffers" from hours-long lines, thanks to countless press write-ups as of late. They've recently opened a new location at Thrive City, Chase Center's gathering space. Temporary hours were 5pm til sell out during Warrior's home games. We visited yesterday while the store was in its soft opening phase & at 4:30pm, there were only 10 parties ahead of us. We ordered the following meats sold by the pound: -- one smoked dino rib (~$53): delicious, so tender with crispy edges. -- four beef back ribs ($56): perfectly caramelized, like meat candy. -- a little over a lb. of smoked brisket (~$42): went well with their bbq sauce, a favorite in our group. Other eats: -- jalapeño cheese sausage ($8): had a good snap in the casing. Oily, juicy, & robust in flavor. -- ayam bakar: the only disappointing meat item was the Indonesian-spiced BBQ chicken; served cold & spiced in a way none of us cared for. To add insult to injury, we were charged for four pieces ($32) when we only ordered & received two. -- nasi goreng ($10): the first word I learned when I visited Indonesia! A flavorful fried rice. -- potato salad ($10): did not try -- two orders of banana pudding ($9 each): what banana pudding should taste like. Had real banana pieces throughout as well as generous helpings of Nilla wafers. BF couldn't stop raving about it! A handful of counter seats inside. Plenty of outdoor seating, however only a small area is shielded by an awning. Bring your peeps to share this absolutely delicious BBQ feast with. Can't wait to come back when they're open-open. read more
