Tycoon Kitchen — Restaurant in San Francisco

Tasty and speedy fast casual / takeout-centric Thai spot conveniently located on the first floor of Salesforce Tower, making it the perfect workday lunch spot. Tycoon Kitchen has been quite the prominent feature in my rotation of office lunches, and I’ve been impressed every single time by the consistency and quality of their food, the efficiency of their service (especially with only such a small kitchen), and how friendly the staff and owner are. My go-to is their eggplant and tofu stir-fry, which often seems to take a few extra minutes to prepare, so the owner will often offer me a free Thai tea or spring rolls for waiting for what he considers a long time but what I think is perfectly reasonable given how busy they are. To make things more efficient, they also have two kiosks outside that you can order on, or you can poke your head inside if you’d rather speak to someone live.

The food is absolutely delicious, and I love how flavorful everything is (including the tofu — a rare sight these days)! The portions are also quite generous. I’m often left with a healthy amount of leftovers, perfect for dinner or an...

This is a micro restaurant and no cash so you're not caught by surprise. It's also on the ground floor of the transit building. It's all online order on the outside tablets. Even though it's small inside they do have a few tables outside as well. I was a lil taken back that they didn't have their entire menu available (like the breakfast stuff) I would have liked to try their Benedict. The food was delicious, I especially liked the spring rolls with shrimp (most places have one flattened half of small shrimp) these had a full piece in almost every bite.

We also had the Tom yum with chicken, the salad and egg sandwich with Sriracha honey bacon, mmmm. I'd come back for the spring rolls n to try the breakfast menu. Oh did I mention every Monday and Friday they have free Thai ice tea with any order. I got mine and...

Update The Tom Yum noodle soup ($17) was as good as it looked from my first visit. Soup was medium spicy, rich, thick, and incredibly flavorful hitting all the right complex Tom Yum notes. It was also huge and I couldn't finish it, packed with tons of large perfectly cooked butterflied shrimp (you have your choice of protein tho), baby boc choy, a softboiled egg, a smattering of sprouts, and some noodles. I really appreciated there wasn't too many noodles or sprouts. You get jalapenos, lime, and yet more sprouts on the side.

Service continues to be great, they are so friendly and attentive.

Note: this place is tiny, like 4 tables

The pad se ew was excellent and filling. Very friendly and attentive service.

My neighbor had the Tom Yum noodle soup which looked great, looking forward to...
