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!

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.

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.

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....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Soroosh P.

Great spot, reasonably priced. Food is made to order and tastes both fresh and flavorful. I like the space they are located in as well, matches the vibe. Do not go right at noon time as you will be bombarded with a long line. The pad kra phow always hits the spot. You can also order ahead and request to dine in. On Mondays and Fridays they have a cool promotion where you can get a free drink with any order. This has gradually turned into my g to spot to eat in fidi.

New Asian fusion place in the area, tucked in on the ground floor of Salesforce transit center. I stopped by here for sunday brunch and got a banana french toast and crispy chicken sandwich. Overall food is pretty solid and what you'd expect from similar Thai brunch places in the area. Service was pretty attentive. The place is pretty tiny with only have 3-4 tables inside. Luckily many people are ordering take out/delivery so the line here wasn't too bad just walking in on Sunday morning. read more

Had a nice pad thai with chicken! Nice menu with Asian fusion They also have a menu of 5 items that if you order, you get a free drink. The pad Thai is on there and I got the Thai milk tea! The noodle to meat and vegetable ratio of the pad Thai was also kind of high. But the portions are large! Overall nice place for a lunch break with friends or co-workers during the day! Little seating but they also have take out read more

Mmm, sooo good! Tycoon Kitchen is a hidden gem in downtown SF and I'm so glad I found it. My husband and I brought our kiddos to the city, and this place was pretty close so we came by. I made a reservation on Yelp and the table had a reserved sign when we arrived. We ordered on the kiosk which was tricky because we had a hard time making up our minds! We ordered the Thai Tea French Toast combo and Tom Yum omelette. We took our seats and the staff brought water, utensils and got settled. They let us know it was Free Drink Friday (!!!) so we ordered Thai tea, Thai iced coffee and they even added a taro milk for the kiddos. They even had the taro tea in to go cups to make it easier for my kids to drink. The food arrived soon after and took up most of the table space! They were super helpful in shuffling stuff around to make room. We dug in and it was absolutely delish. I tend to lean savory more than sweet when it comes to food, and as delicious as both dishes were, I actually preferred the french toast. The staff were attentive and helpful throughout the meal, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Really love the Thai twist this place has on typical dishes. read more

My husband and I walked by Salesforce Transit Center and saw this newly opened place. You can order through the kiosk or through the cashier. There are tables inside and outside too. Casual dining. We ordered light for dinner and shared a hot fried chicken sandwich with garlic fries combo. The food came out fast. It was delicious. The servers were very attentive too.

What an incredible surprise. Had no idea this place was just a block away from me and so glad I tried it. I ordered here for takeout twice in a week after stumbling onto Tycoon Kitchen. The staff is super friendly, the food is fresh, pricing is fair, and portions generous. This is good food and may honestly be one of my favorites for fusion/Asian in the city at the moment for everyday fare. The chicken and rice entree is fire. Juicy fried chicken over a generous bed of fried rice. Absolutely delicious. Spring rolls are fresh and plump. Perfect with the peanut sauce. May go back again tonight.... read more

Full transparency: I'm writing this review for the single selfish reason that I want/desperately need them to stick around this neighborhood. If you live in the Rincon Hill area, you know there aren't many options for food. Tycoon Kitchen fills that hole in my heart when I'm looking for a tasty, reasonably priced, SF-casual, Asian-influenced meal. There are VERY few places in this city where you can get tom yum soup and garlic fries in the same meal--this is one of them. Plus, their service has always been friendly and attentive. If you're stuck on what to order for brunch, my favorite is the tom yum omelette. Tom yum shrimp + omelette + bacon + potatoes + salad with some kinda crack dressing? Perfection. read more

Found a pretty new spot near Transbay terminal! We first passed by this spot and was bummed out it was closed, so we came back the 2nd time after our workout ! Super close to Fitness SF ! I was looking at the brunch menu and I want to try their Thai tea French toast next time! We ordered fresh rolls, drunken noodles with beef and Tom yum soup! The spot is pretty small and tight if you dine in here. Drunken noodles was sooo good and flavorful ! The fresh rolls was crispy and delicious to dip in their sauce. Tom yum soup hit the spot when it was chilly that day. If you are craving some good comfort food , I would recommend this spot! read more

This was part of our food tour and the owner was very generous. We got a rice wrapped spring roll with shrimp (or tofu) and a bowl of noodles topped with beef. I went back a few days later, today, Friday, and ordered the spicy chicken sandwich. (You have to pick crispy chicken sandwich on the menu, then it will take you to the choice to make it spicy). You get your choice of fries or salad. I picked salad and it was a good sized delicious salad! Super nice people work here and on top of helping me order, he announces while I was waiting for my food, that it was FREE DRINK DAY I asked for the Vietnamese Dalgona coffee with oat milk and it was delicious. Everything came out very quickly. Hot and fresh. read more

The restaurant is quite small but they have a cool to go order menu outside the restaurant doors or you can order by sitting inside the restaurant.

Spring rolls Pad saew Egg plant tofu First time impression of Tycoon Kitchen was a bit confusing. I didn't know what cuisine it might be until I walk in to the restaurant. Maybe Thaicoon? Haha With that being said, I was impressed the first time eating here! The staff was extremely nice and knowledgeable of the menu. I got the Egg plant tofu and my coworker got the pad saew which were both amazing! Great flavor and cooked perfectly. We also both shared the spring rolls but to honest it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. The rice wrapping was a little tougher than I liked. Overall the ambiance was newly built and clean design. The restaurant didn't have too many places to sit so it seems more of a takeout place. Overall, this restaurant was delicious and they left me wanting to try new items on the menu (especially the Thai/American breakfast fusion). I definitely will be back! read more

The Tom Yum Noodle Soup is comforting and light. The spices in the soup, well cooked noodles, and yummy shrimp all work together very well. I didn't expect the poached egg to be included in there.

New spot in downtown serving a variety of quality dishes! We ordered the crispy chicken sandwich, florentine benedict, and hainan chicken rice. The sandwich had a generous large piece of fried chicken with a light crispy flavorful batter. The green apple red onion and carrot coleslaw in the sandwich was delicious too. The florentine benedict was a decent benedict. The poached egg was runny, which passed the test. The hainan chicken rice had the classic ginger garlic flavor which is great, considering some places where it can be bland. Can't wait to try the other dishes on Tycoon's menu! read more

Tried it for the first time a few days ago. I ordered "Pad See Ew" to go but when I opened my box later, it was something else. There were no flat noodles and no eggs. It was regular noodles with bok choy, cherry tomatoes, and red pepper. I didn't have time to go back and get the order fixed. The receipt said "Pad See Ew" so maybe they gave my dish to someone else and I got their food. The noodles were ok but I was disappointed because it's not what I wanted! read more

Shellfish allergies beware: I ordered the Tycoon Berry Salad yesterday for lunch. The website shows the salad comes with salmon, but no other types of fish are indicated in the description. About half way through my salad, I realized there was a large, raw piece of shrimp. I rarely leave reviews but because I have a shellfish allergy, I wanted to make other customers, who may also have shellfish allergies, are aware that there appears to be a high risk of cross contamination. Stay safe ya'll. read more

Best decision ever made in coming here. I wasn't aware of the restaurant until my friend mentioned the place after work. Entering the restaurant, we were greeted by a member of the staff who was ever so kind and generous throughout our entire time ordering there. The Chicken Pad See Ew was charred just right with the savory sauce enhancing the dish. In terms of the Iced Thai Tea, I couldn't have asked for a better refreshing drink. My friend and I LOVED the place and have already declared Tycoon Kitchen as a go-to lunch/dinner spot whenever we are free from work. read more

Just had the Morning Crispy Chicken Salad here as take out. Comes with fried chicken, kale, spinach, avocado, cheese, cherry tomatoes, and runny fried egg. It was SO good! The dressing was light and perfect and they give you two take out containers worth because the salad was so big they had to put some tape on the takeout box to make sure it stayed close. Literally can't wait to come back and try other dishes here! Can't imagine how much better it would be as dine in! The entire salad only cost $15 by the way! I split it up as two meals. read more

Ox & Tiger

Have you ever experienced something that while it was happening, you already wish it could be for…read morethe first time again? Filipino-Japanese fusion has been a tried and true combination, including my boyfriend and I's relationship (ba dum tss). However, Ox and Tiger have MASTERED the fusion aspect. Ox and Tiger is an intimate dining experience, with 8 seats, and gorgeous plating, menu, and cute chopstick rests! Comes with 3 courses with an additional 4th add-on. They also have a drinking menu, and they noted that the menu changes every 2 months (every even month!) EJ is such a wonderful story teller, and Hitomi (who created the menu for the month of May) had a great twist on everyday classics in Japanese cuisine. As the dishes were prepared and presented, EJ would tell the backstory on the dish(es), a personal note about each, and Hitomi's take on it to sweeten the deal. As soon as the experience starts, EJ tells us that the doors will be locked to prevent any distractions from outside (aka if you're late, you're outta luck), but we were encouraged to go outside for air if necessary. (I tried taking these notes on the food while EJ was talking about each dish so bear with me). ESL lunch The backstory was that Hitomi loved caesar salad while going to school in America, so she created a "perfect bite" with a Japanese twist to it. The word "gomoku" literally translates to "5 ingredients," to which I was only able to remember 2 of 5 of the vegetables, which were snappeas and roasted beets, with quinoa and tinapa (smoked fish). The fish that was used wae a cured Spanish makerel. T.A.M.M.Y I wish I remembered the words for this, but this is actually Hitomi's English name when she moved to the states. The acronym aspect was for the class at the time to think of ways to learn to like their name (each letter was a positive attribute and I can't remember what EJ said). The backstory to this was that Hitomi, being born and raised in Japan, was actually the biggest fan of California roll - did not like traditional sushi (or raw fish for that matter). - T.A.M.M.Y. is Hitomi's take on that. This was monk fish, with the fish scraps dipped into dashi sauce and kyuri (Japanese cucumber). In other words, no part of the fish was wasted in the making of this dish (in true Japanese AND Filipino fashion). This also had pinipig (granola-like topping glazed in shoyu) [Shoyu = soy sauce] Omiotsuke Now this is where I was blown away. First of all, I did not know what the hell this word was in English, but I watched every part of this dish being prepared and was even more confused when it was presented as dessert. When EJ started explaining, it made all the sense in the world. There is a tofu skin roll, vanilla ice cream, a mushroom topping, cherry miso compote concoction (this is where I butchered the exact creation - this is where the flavor was distracting me from what it actually was). Did you notice the ingredients? What is one thing one will eat at any Japanese restaurant, almost as a courtesy/complimentary item? Omiotsuke is, as polite as one could possibly say, is miso soup. This is Hitomi's take on miso soup, the flavor was spot on. I never thought to pair dashi-like flavors with ice cream (there is already shoyu with vanilla ice cream, but this was a flavor sensation). EJ was so kind when my boyfriend and I admitted we came for an anniversary, and we even got to see his reaction when we said we were also Japanese/Filipino (I'm also an Ox, but no Tigers here). They took this lovely photo of us to commemorate the evening, which sits on our fridge to this day. Again, gochiso-salamat :) to EJ and staff! We hope to come back soon.

First started as a pop-up in 2018, Ox+Tiger offers Filipino/Japanese fusion cuisine inspired by the…read morelives of the two chefs behind the kitchen. Situated in a small, 8 seat counter, dinner is intimate with dishes being prepared right in front of you. The menu features three courses, an appetizer, main, and a dessert - with the option for an additional add-on. Our meal featured a focus on fish, in particular mackerel and monkfish. Each of the dishes were deconstructions of familiar concepts such as Caesar salad and a California roll, but enhanced with new flavors. The mackerel was sublime, perfectly charred exterior with a still raw interior. The monkfish was tender, coated in a ginger, wasabi sauce next to crispy sweet rice and avocado. The dessert was by far the most unique, being a miso dashi, mushroom cherry coated coconut ice cream with a tupig-like mochi on the side. The savory, sweet, sour combination completely catches you off guard but becomes increasingly addictive the more you eat. So bold and absolutely memorable. Ox&Tiger takes familiar concepts, breaks them apart, then fuses them back together with a flair of Filipino and Japanese flavors. This results in dishes that are utterly unique and innovative. Additionally, with menus and playlists designed by family, this truly feels like the epitome of a family-run business and a meal cooked with so much care in front of you. This is absolutely worth a visit and an opportunity to try new flavors you've never experienced before.

I usually don't repeat restaurants that soon, but I had Do Re Mi three times in one week!…read more Do Re Mi was inspired by the three kids of the sweet owners, Judy and Ivan. I first visited their Mission location and ordered the sushi bake + chicken rice. The sushi bake was flavorful. Then I happened to be back in the area midweek, so I returned for the beef rice dish and a few onigiris. During the Chinatown Night Market, I stopped by their Chinatown location, which just opened this month Safe to say this spot will be added to my regular rotation.

I came here at the recommendation of a friend in the neighborhood, and honestly, my thoughts about…read morethe place so far are that the food and experience were average. Everything about the ordering process and the quality of the food itself was good but not great. There was no wow factor or anything that left me feeling extra motivated to return, but I also wouldn't be opposed if I were nearby and craving onigiri. There's a single kiosk in-store to order at, but you can also place an order with the person working the counter if it's not too busy. I wasn't sure what I wanted immediately, so I waited for one of my friends to finish before ordering. I added 1 unagi eel, 1 unagi onigiri, and 1 crab onigiri to my basket and checked out. I have absolutely no idea what's the difference between "unagi eel" and "unagi onigiri", and when I went to pick up my order, the staff member told me my order was two unagi and one crab. However, I was charged $4.50 for the unagi eel and $4.30 for the unagi onigiri, so go figure. I could not detect a difference between the two, and the price of each averaged out to $4.40, so it's whatever. I unwrapped one of the unagi onigiris to eat in-store as we waited for a Zoox to arrive. It was actually pretty difficult to extricate the seaweed and rice ball filling in one piece to consume together, which I presume is because the onigiris are each made-to-order and due to the freshness, the separate ingredients haven't had a chance to marinate and congeal together. As I had not eaten all day, I quickly devoured the onigiris before and after our short ride back to a café where some of our other friends were waiting. The onigiris were, as I mentioned before, pretty standard minus the fact they kind of fell apart. I would say if you like onigiris, then these will get the job done, but they're nothing exceptional, so keep your standards at baseline.

Even before this most recent visit, I'd enjoyed intimate dinners here for its creative, Korean-Thai-inspired menu that always packed an impressive punch of flavor but, dare I say, the brunch might be even better. The steak sandwich was absolutely phenomenal, with the steak seasoned and cooked to perfection and pairing beautifully with the charred onion aioli, plus a side of expertly crisped smashed potatoes that were so addicting. The steamed mussels were sumptuous and packed with umami, and I loved the two large bricks of toasted sourdough focaccia that were perfect for sopping up every last bit of the delicious dashi broth. But the pièce de résistance was the custard French toast, which I can only describe as the love child of bread pudding and tres leches cake as it was crispy on the outside but uber moist on the inside, custardy, and simply divine. Kothai will be deeply missed in the neighborhood, but I'm excited to see what's next for chef/owner Sung Park and will be first in line for whatever future project comes next.

We started with the garlic butter clams-small but tasty. Tuna tartar was excellent quality and enough to share. Samosas were more like empanadas--very good with peanut sauce so good it rivaled my own home made. We continued our culinary adventure with crab fried rice-delicious, a large portion and my son who lives in SF and has tried dozens of crab fried rice ranked it in the top tier. The pacific catch rice noodles with crab was also excellent-big portion, lots of crab, tasty. Final entree was their specialty-Mussaman Curry. Wow, tender meat/potatoe "stew" with a very unique flavor from the star anise/cinnamon and peanut--to die for. Creme Brulee was very good with lots of fresh fruit accompaniment My only complaint was a very limited wine selection. Lapisaia will become one of our regular spots for dinner!!!

We had it family style. The 3 of us shared it all. There was plenty to go around. None of us left hungry. I can't even pick a favorite. Maybe the numb and spicy which wasn't that spicy. It was just so good and flavorful. The soup dumplings were amazing. So much perfect flavor. They held together until the bite. So good. The hot and sour soup was plenty tasty. Not the best I've ever had but certainly among the best. The only thing I will say is that one of my companions can't have seaweed. The wonton soup was amazing but full of seaweed. It wasn't listed on the menu and we have never had seaweed in any other wonton soup so didn't know to ask if it could be left out. That was sad. All she could do was have a tiny spoon of the broth to taste it. The green onion pancake was very good. The red bean paste pockets use the same dough but filled with sweet red bean paste.

Not only were they delicious, but their unique shape made them stand out from the usual versions we've tried elsewhere. The steamed dumplings were equally impressive, soft, tender, and just as juicy. You'll want to bite into them carefully, unless you're like my husband and decide to pop the whole thing into your mouth at once. Another surprise favorite was the dan dan noodles. We loved that the noodles were served warm. Most versions we've had elsewhere are closer to room temperature, so this was a very nice surprise. Once mixed together, the dish was so flavorful. Our food arrived quickly, but midway through the meal we realized we had forgotten to order a vegetable dish. We added the stir-fried eggplant which unfortunately seemed to throw off the timing a bit and didn't arrive until near the end of our meal. By then, we were already stuffed, and the eggplant was a little too salty on its own. I think it would have paired much better with rice or noodles. Lesson learned for next time! We visited on a Thursday evening and were lucky enough to find street parking shortly after 6 p.m. We were seated immediately, but a line started forming not long after. So definitely come early!

Excited to find this little gem in the SF Transit Center nestled in one of the books on the ground floor. Since my usual pad Thai and garlic noodle spots closed after the pandemic, I'd been looking for a spot near Mission in the FiDi to find either and this place has both! Great, friendly service. Pad Thai was excellent. Shrimp were tender and juicy (and the tails were cut off for me so I never had to stop shoveling the food in my mouth). Hefty box full with some for leftovers. Fabulous Thai iced tea, which is free on Mondays and Fridays. Can't wait to go back for the garlic noodles! read more

Ambiance: 3/10 - It was very poor. They had the music turned up loudly, and I kept hearing the bell, which gave me a terrible headache. Food: 8/10 - I ordered the drunken noodles with beef, and it was superb! My coworker ordered the morning crispy chicken salad, but it took too long. The chicken was cold and overcooked. Service: 2/5 - The server was speaking very loudly and showed no concern for the customers around. Occasionally, they even danced along to the music, LOL. If I were to come back, it would only be for the drunken noodle dish . read more

Freshly opened store in this neighborhood and a welcome addition here! While tiny, it has full service and some limited seating indoors and outside. Food came out relatively fast. It was nicely decorated and well presented, and service was friendly. I had the salmon benedict. The salmon was fresh, and I was able to substitute fresh fruit for the potatoes. Plentiful portion, with enough for a takeaway. Will try the taro float next time! They are also open on weekends, which is a much needed option in this neighborhood. read more

I appreciate the fact that you can enjoy a delicious breakfast at 8:00 am in this neighborhood with limited early breakfast options on the weekend, featuring a spicy fried chicken sandwich with garlic fries, drunken noodles, and spring rolls. The drunken noodles stood out with their fantastic flavor and tender beef strips. The spicy fried chicken sandwich had a batter that wasn't overwhelming, and the spring rolls were fresh. This is a cozy yet worthwhile breakfast spot. read more

Pad thai is pretty good. Order ahead and early if you are in a time crunch as they can get pretty busy during the rush.
