PRO: -I'm a huge fan of their tenders; they're perfectly fried on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. My favorite is the Lemon Garlic flavor, followed by the Nashville Blaze. I always pair these with the Truffle Aioli or the Garlic Aioli sauce -The Cobb salad is pretty good! There's not enough guac, so I add my own avocado CON: -the wings are dry. I don't get them anymore -their main thing is delivery, but you CAN do pickup. If you pick up, the tiny street can be a bit challenging to navigate. But service is lightning fast every time I go, a quick in and out. It helps to go with a friend who stays with the car, or park on Harrison or Bryant to avoid going into Morris St. I'm a fan. Starbird is officially a staple on my list of "unhealthy but delicious treat foods that I eat in moderation" :)

Starbird has amazing crispy chicken and the most filling salads that absolutely slap. I ordered chicken nuggets with their ranch and house star sauce. The nuggets were crispy, juicy, and I am such a big fan of their sauces! They include chips too. They were a little greasy for me. I did enjoy dipping them in the sauces too. I highly recommend their elote salad with crispy chicken. This is my favorite dish hands down. It's filling, I love the toppings, 12/10. I would pass on the chicken wings- I ordered them once and to be honest they are very very very small. It could be inflation hitting. The wings have incredible sauce options- I got the Cali Golden and Buffalo and both were fantastic. If you're craving crispy chicken and solid dipping sauce- this is your place.

Truffle fries dry

I think the $15.00 off is not enough to make up for the disappointing experience I had with my order. I believe it would be more fair to receive a replacement meal similar to the one I originally ordered. As a customer, I feel that this would be a more reasonable resolution considering the issues with the food I received.

Thai Chicken Salad & House Fries
Alisa B.

One of my go-to spots for a tasty salad delivery! Always fresh vegetables and their crispy chicken is so good. I definitely recommend the Green Goddess Cobb Salad, or the Thai Chicken Salad! Their salad dressings never fail. Since this a ghost kitchen, I always do delivery. Keep in mind, there is not indoor dining or real brick & mortar. So it might be a little confusing finding this place. Look for the SoMa Food Pickup on Morris.

Sweet Thai tenders with side of BBQ and spicy Seoul sauce

One drawback of living in the City is you'll have a hard time finding chain restaurants especially fast foods. Totally forgot that I tried this a couple of years ago so, when a friend suggested ordering here, it felt like a new experience. Studying the menu, sweet Thai tenders (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=8i8D3SRRFMU6Cqc4SN5sLA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); after dipping and swiping the various sauces, I learned that the Thai sauce that came with the tender were my favorite (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=rnXfn4Pwezf3C7k5sXpWZA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). My box came with fries and the rainbow slaw (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=RoaODa1U2bHGlzvoTuZSIA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); if you are not eating them right away, I recommend opting for double slaw mainly because it's that good; it's comprised of kale, red and green cabbage, and carrots with a creamy citrus dressing. The fries were slightly soggy after a couple hours but still had firm edges. The portions are generous so this is a filling meal. It was nice to try this again and I liked this meal better than my first time. This is a ghost kitchen set up where you'll either have a delivery company bring it or go to 60 Morris and get it from your appointed locker.

Buffalo chicken wings
Hank Y.

Food took more than two hours to arrive even though I live 7 minutes from the kitchen. Fries and chicken were cold. Most of the "buffalo wings" had little or no buffalo sauce on them

Fries and sauces
Rebekah T.

I love fried chicken sandwiches, so I was delighted to try a new place. We placed a group order at work for lunch for delivery. I ordered the Nashville HotBird, I love spicy foods and a big fan of hot chicken from Nashville (Miss my trips there). The chicken sandwich was only a little spicy, pretty oily and wasn't easy to eat. the bun was bigger than the chicken breast, making it pretty odd to eat. Overall the sandwich did not look anything like the advertised photo and just okay. I also ordered a side of fries with all of the sauces. I love to make sauces, so was very curious to try the Star Sauce, the Wasabi Aioli, Spicy Seoul Sauce, Sriracha Buffalo and the Honey Chipotle BBQ. The fries were not crispy, but the sauces were pretty interesting. I was really looking forward to it, but in the end it was okay - but did not impress. I may try them again and pick a salad or something else.

San Tung - Original Dry Fried Chicken ($20/12)

There is a specific kind of culinary magic that only happens in the cramped, loud, steam-filled…read morejoints of San Francisco. And if it's chicken wings your soul is screaming for, let's be honest: there isn't a single place in this town that can compete with San Tung. This recipe? It's completely off the hook. It is sweet, it is tangy, and it is utterly, shamelessly irresistible to the human tongue. It completely defies the pedestrian flavors that everyone else in this city is pushing. This isn't just food; it's a lifestyle choice. It's my drug of choice. What you've got here is a beautiful, bastardized combination of Chinese and Korean BBQ engineering. But let's get one thing straight: the secret isn't some mythical blend of eleven herbs and Chinese spices. No, it boils down to something far more primal: the type of chicken that San Tung purchases. They are looking for something very specific--the precise age, the exact size of the bird. And that? That is something they will absolutely never share with you. Like the formula for Coca-Cola, they guard that secret with a beautiful, paranoid intensity. Now, the people I really miss in this room are Charles and his wife. They split off from this sit-down paradise years ago and carved out their own gig right next door--San Tung 2. They took the crown and put themselves on the map for those wings. It was a beautiful, tightly run family affair--full-on mafia style. Whatever traffic drove through this side of town, they weren't here for the scenery; they were here for the wings. ST2 might be gone now, but the dream? The dream continues to thrive right here. So whenever that craving hits, do yourself a favor. Make your way over to this room. You'll thank me later.

I don't get the huge hype over San Tung. Spicy house in Daly City has slightly better chicken…read morewings, but besides the wings, San Tung is average. I tried a bunch of the noodle dishes, the rice, and the sautéed string beans. The string beans were a little thick and too oily, DTF is better. The noodles also were not amazing as I had better.

Ordered the following: *Chicken Biscuit & Tots - First, I was happy that there was a smaller portion sized item on the menu so I ordered this and IMMEDIATELY REGRETTED THIS DECISION. The biscuit was the driest biscuit I have ever had in my LIFE! It was too "floury" and was falling apart the moment I picked it up and not in that "yummy flaky" kinda way but in the "I'm about to steal every single drop of saliva in your mouth" kinda way. The chicken ALSO DRY! It was literally a piece cut off a bigger piece of chicken becuase it was cleanly cut and I could see the white meat. They didnt even bother to cut it and then batter and fry it. LAZY MOVE? I'm not sure but it was sorta weird. The chicken was also flavorless so that sucked. The tots were good! Literally the ONLY saving grace for this order. *Fried Chicken Sandwich - Not sure what was up with the bread but it was STALE AF!!! Crumbled and fell apart with every bite. Chicken was yummy and so were the slaw and pickles etc, but none of it stayed in the sandwich due to the stale ass bread that was falling apart. Ended up eating the rest with a fork and knife. IDK guys....Im going to say for such a limited menu on chicken sandwiches you're really screwing up by not having the thing that holds the sandwich together (THE BISCUIT/THE BREAD) be stale af and falling apart. Or if its late night and the bread is stale, maybe educate your staff NOT to serve that to customers or at least warn them to eat the stale bread at their own risk or warm the bread, toast the bread or something to "cover up" the staleness?!? IDK not really my job...
