    I had a really delicious lunch at Tycoon Kitchen while in town for a work conference. My friend and I just happened to be near it on our hunt for Match and I'm so glad I tried them. It's very unassuming and small. There's a couple tables and chairs inside and outside, so I was happy for that. You order via a kiosk out front and they bring it out to you. I think I only say one person, so seems like a very self sufficient spot. I ordered the crispy egg rolls and they were freshly made and delicious. The sauce that came with them was also really good! For my main course I had their garlic noodle bowl with grilled shrimp and it was amazing!!!I loved all the fresh veggies and the jalapenos. This was a flavor party!! This lil spot is worth a trip!

    Summer rolls
    Katarina L.

    Tycoon Kitchen was the perfect choice for a quick but delicious lunch. The food was amazing, pretty sizable portions, and the menu had lots of options. Everyone in our group (even those with dietary restrictions or picky eaters) found something they loved. While most folks opted for a noodle dish like pad Thai, the salmon in the curry sauce was speaking to me. It came with the filet, a bed of rice, veggies like bok choy and the curry sauce in a container on the side. There was seriously nothing not to love. We had an order of the summer rolls to share amongst our group and they were fresh and crunchy and delicious as well. There was about 8 or so people in our group and luckily we ordered ahead to avoid a big wait time and I HIGHLY recommend you do this if you also plan to eat your lunch during the classic lunch hours. There was still a bit of a wait but nothing too bad. There might have been a few outdoor tables but this really is a pick up and go kind of spot. Luckily you're already at the beautiful Salesforce Park so a gorgeous park sit or scenic picnic table vibe is not far. Order ahead and enjoy!

    Very good Hainan Chicken in FiDi. It is $18 which is a bit steep for Hainan Chicken which averages $14-$16 in the Bay but it's very tender. The plate comes with a mix of white and dark meat, collard greens, Hainan Chicken Rice, a poached egg, and crispy onion bits. Loved the taste and it is a solid spot for lunch with its other Thai / Southeast Asian fusion dishes.

    Tom Yum Soup
    Nate M.

    Tycoon Kitchen has a prime location underneath the northeast end of Salesforce Park. They almost share a wall with the elevators; you go up to the top floor and boom, a gorgeous spot for an outdoor picnic. For a small location they have a large Thai food menu. I was here with a group, but I ordered the Tom Yum soup with chicken along with some shrimp spring rolls and veggie egg rolls for the group. The Tom Yum soup was good, but I felt the portion was small and it had too many onions. The ratio of onions to everything else was crazy; maybe sub some extra chicken instead? The soup did have a great flavor, and I found myself throwing it back the last drops of soup like I a shot of whiskey. Everybody loved the spring and veggie egg rolls and I heard no complaints about the other dishes. One person in my lunch group ordered the curry, salmon and said it was very good! I was able to order our entire lunch via their Yelp page and select a time for pickup. Everything was super smooth, and the staff was on top of the game even though they were slammed. There are some tables inside of the restaurant and a couple outside, but like I mentioned earlier, you're better off eating lunch up at Salesforce Park.

    Pad See Ew added beef
    Mimi A.

    I recommend ordering ahead, as the food can take a bit of time to arrive. The customer service, however, is a solid 10/10! I asked for a sauce (not on the menu) for the egg rolls, and they kindly made one just for me a delicious mix of fish sauce and lime. Thank you for the great service! The inside is small. But they have seats outside.

    I was casually walking down Minna Street looking for a new place to eat when Tycoon Kitchen appeared in my view. I ordered a noodle plate with beef at their outdoor kiosks and patiently waited 10 minutes. The one person working that day transferred a piping hot box from his asbestos-laden claws into my hands. "Owe, that's hot!", I screamed. He didn't hear me as he disappeared back into the kitchen. I asked for a bag, to which he was annoyed that I even asked for one. I trotted back to my desk and enjoyed a box of noodles, carefully holding my fork between in my blistering fingers....

    pad see ew shrimp
    Rebecca B.

    Whoever whips up the noodles knows what they're doing x) Have tried the drunken noodles with beef and the pad see ew shrimp. My pad see ew even had wok hei which some Thai establishments don't do. Another thing to note, they use broccoli and bokchoy instead of gai lan. I personally love gai lan so much, but the other two dark leafy greens are also good for you :) Although they don't have chili vinegar, they have chili powder and chili oil upon request. Also, make sure to take advantage of the free drink Monday and Friday promotion! Went with the Dalgona Vietnamese Iced Coffee for my free drink. Yum.

    Drunken Noodle Beef. Veggies are fresh!
    Sam J.

    Hidden gem full of flavor bombs at the Salesforce Transit Center. I popped in for a bite. Met the owner, Tran, might just be the nicest human in the bay. Came back the next day. Even during lunch rush (30-40 people deep), the staff was still kind, attentive, and still made time to chat. Favorites: Drunken noodle beef - noodles with the right bite, beef not overdone like other places. Veggies are fresh! Salmon curry bowl - curry flavor bursts in your mouth. Sweet, spicy, and full of depth. Peppers, tomatoes add the perfect touch. This one came out super fast, even during lunch hour.

    Shrimp Pad Thai Noodle
    Jayme H.

    I was in town for work and grabbed lunch here with a few coworkers. You can find it under Salesforce Park at the transit center, along the elevators on the bottom floor in between 1st and 2nd street. We ordered online in advance, which was definitely a good call, because we when arrived there was a line out the door, and we still had a to wait about 10 minutes to get our food. That said, everything was delicious. I opted for the pad Thai with shrimp and our group shared the veggie eggs rolls and spring rolls. My portion of pad Thai was huge and was definitely enough for two people or two meals. It was packed with flavor and the shrimp weren't the super tiny ones either. I didn't try the spring rolls, but the egg rolls were fried to perfection and a great way to start the meal. I don't remember anyone in our small group having any complaints, so there's a little something for everyone as long as your like Asian food. I would totally order here again.

    Lychee and classic mimosas
    Nina Z.

    Excellent brunch and lunch food items located nearby the Salesforce Tower and SFMOMA. The indoor seating area is pretty small, so not great for large groups. Saw lots of people ordering to-go. We came on a Friday afternoon, which apparently meant a free drink for each of us! We ordered the lychee and classic mimosas, which were served in champagne glasses garnished with fruit. $15-20 for an entree, but the portion sizes are huge and the entrees were delicious! Had the tom yum omelette filled with flavorful shrimp and topped with two large slices of bacon. Sides included country potatoes and salad. Loved the variety and presentation! To be honest, I am not sure when I will be able to stop by next time since I'm typically not in the city during the day, but if I happen to be in the city early enough, I would gladly support this business and order some takeout prior to my evening activities.

    Bo luc lac
    Amy X.

    TL;DNR: Very limited table options, food portions are GIGANTIC, service is quick and you pay with an iPad by the front. Ambience: We were one of two tables inside. It was pretty cold that day, so I honestly don't even remember if there were outside tables. If you're interested in coming here, I'd highly suggest getting a reservation ahead or just ordering to go. There was a pretty long line outside by the time we finished. (Not sure if they were waiting for to-go items or a table.) Relatively small inside, so the ambient noise levels were regular. You can kinda hear them moving around the kitchen area, since it's really tiny. Service: SO fast! We ordered and had our food out pretty quickly. The check is at the front by the iPad, so you can just pay whenever you're ready to leave. Pretty convenient. The people working here were also so friendly and welcoming. Food/Drinks: I guess we were also able to get free drinks?? But I got confused when they charged us for our Thai iced teas. I think because you can get one free drink, but I was under the impression that it was unlimited. (Maybe it's only for one type of drink, but since I also got a lychee mimosa, that one was free?? I have no idea. I didn't try to clarify.) I got the Bo Luc Lac - a breakfast item ($19) - but holy smokes there's SO much food on the plate. It's angus tenderloin with onions and hoisin sauce, but there was an egg, house potatoes, 2 pieces of small toast, AND a salad. I'm telling you, this plate was heaping. I can usually finish my breakfasts, but I had to take half of this home. There was no way I would make myself uncomfortable for a few hours because of this meal. My friend got some kinda omelette (I think??) and that looked pretty good as well. I didn't try it because I had so much food on my plate. All in all, a wonderful experience with good food. I would certainly come back again, and it's also a great spot if you're looking for food near SF MoMA

    Thai Tea
    Tiffany T.

    Tried the thai tea there and while it wasn't bad, it also wasn't good. The thai tea flavor wasn't really pronounced and it tasted a bit watered down. I would grab a drink here if I was in a pinch, but otherwise wouldn't go out of my way.
