    Listen, I try not to write that many bad reviews but Fikscue really left me disappointed. When spending $56 dollar on BBQ for one person, can you blame me for setting my expectations high? None of the sides, meats, or desserts were good whatsoever. The rib had more fat than edible meat. The brisket was an oddly too salty but at the same time tasteless. The sides were just there, blandly on the side. In this economy and with all the hype, I expected a lot more. I ended up with $56 worth of food that ended up in the trash. Maybe the original location is better in alameda, but I won't be venturing over any time soon to see.

    Beef back rib

    Visited on a Friday around 2:30pm with three friends, restaurants had several other guest seated on the patio but no line to order when we arrived and everything was still in stock. Food: Beef Back Rib - great, nice tender meat texture that still clung to the bone but was easy to bite through, our piece was a good balance of meaty and fatty, nice dry rub seasoning with a great sweet smokiness, this came without sauce and was very good on its own Smoked Brisket Rendang Plate - good, loved the variety on the plate, rendang had lots of pieces of smoked brisket in savory spiced sauce, curry kale had a nice spice with creamy coconut flavor, coconut rice was great for soaking up the sauces but had some pieces of rice that were a tad hard, fried egg was excellent fun crispy texture with a medium yolk, potato patty was solid, mild seasoning but added nice texture to the dish, pickled onions added some brightness and acidity, picked peppers added tangy heat, bbq sauce was great balanced sweetness and acidity with nice pepper notes not ketchup forward which I appreciated Smoked brisket- okay, nice smokey flavor but didn't have as much rub as the rib ate a touch dry wished this was a bit fattier but maybe we got an off cut Service was solid quick order at the counter your meat, mains and sides, they prep your order and pay at the register and pick up your food. The restaurant itself is small no seating inside just a covered patio outside and some additional patio space in front with umbrellas for shade. We opted for take out and grab indoor seats at harmonic brewery next door. Overall enjoyed Fikscue, the beef back rib in particular was worth a try. Unique take on BBQ loved the fusion of American style BBQ with an Indonesian twist.

    Meaty Dyno bone was fatty and so juicy. Brisket was lean and tender. A great place to eat bbq

    Brisket, Beef Cheek

    My first visit to Fikscue yielded slightly dry and moderately cool brisket, snappy sausage with good seasoning, and way too salty beef cheeks. The staff were all very nice and the line moved quickly. The two sauces were flavorful and nicely complimented the meats. I love BBQ and really wanted to leave Fiksue with a mind blowing impression but thought it was at best an average BBQ experience. Two weeks later I went back during another Valkaries game and ordered more beef cheeks and a sausage. The sausage was consistently tasty, with the same snap and seasoning. The beef cheek was not overly salted and instead was perfectly seasoned while maintaining a delectable tenderness. My assessment is that Fikscue is average BBQ. It by no means is not bad but I do not yearn for it or savor the taste. That said, I will certainly return when at the Chase Center.

    Smoked Beef Cheeks and Mac Goreng

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Zara A.

    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.

    Dino rib

    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

    Are you guys open today on christmas eve?

    Hi! Sorry we’re closed. We have posted our hours on Yelp for our upcoming holiday hours. Thank you… 

    Are dogs allowed?

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

    Does anyone know if anything gluten-free? We have a Celiac in the family and need to be careful of cross contamination

    Are they open on Sundays? I don't see their hours posted anywhere.

    Their IG said their open Th-Sun, 12p-8p or when sold out.

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We shared one breakfast platter, and it was more than enough for us. The restaurant itself is also beautiful, with a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal. The biggest disappointment was the Turkish coffee. I had been telling my husband how amazing authentic Turkish coffee can be because I had previously visited a Turkish café in San Mateo where the coffee was served in a traditional pot alongside Turkish delights, allowing you to refill your small cup. I expected something similar here. Instead, we each received only a tiny cup for around $5, which felt more like ordering a small espresso. It wasn't bad, but it definitely didn't live up to our expectations. The service was another area that could be improved. We arrived early and were ready to order, but we waited quite a while before anyone came to our table. During that time, I noticed another table that had arrived after us was greeted, had their order taken, and thus received their food before we were served. That was a little frustrating. One small inconvenience is that there is only one restroom for the restaurant. Despite those issues, the food was excellent, and that's what matters most. We would absolutely come back for the Turkish breakfast because it was truly delicious. Overall, I'd give this place 4 out of 5 stars. With a little improvement in service and a more memorable Turkish coffee experience, it would easily be a 5-star restaurant.

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.
