“ Uhhhh-mayyyyy-ziiiiiing!!!! So delicious! It was so hard to choose between savory and sweet. So we went for both! Breakfast sandwich and the chicken and waffles. Tasted out of this world!! Service was awesome- our server came and checked on us often. We cant wait to go back. ”
“ Found this place on a whim since we were craving bloody Mary's and decided to try with the lady. Bloody Mary's were fire, no complaints there. Perfect amount of flavoring and also asked us if we wanted hot sauce and we requested Tabasco and Tapatio. Fried chicken and waffles were alright. Sort of a let down because the fried breading was too dry and not as crispy as we wanted. Flavoring on the chicken was good and the chicken itself wasn't dry, just the skin batter was too breaded. Service was great, they kept checking on us to see if we were good. Would come back next time for the bloody Mary's and try something different on the food menu. ”
“ Me and my cousin decided to hit this place up after hanging out in the morning. Parking could be a hassle because it is a small strip mall with several other businesses and parking fills up quick but we got lucky and found a spot. We waited outside before a host directed us to our table that was inside. Place was pretty busy! I looked through the menu thoroughly and already was dead set on what to get. Our server brought us water and my cousin got the chicken and waffles while I had the chilaquiles! We also ordered drinks and I opted for the yuzu lemonade. The yuzu lemonade came out and it was very refreshing! A slight hint of yuzu followed by a smooth tasting lemonade! Our food came out and holy hell there is a lot of it when you order the chilaquiles! I tried a chip and it was crispy even though it was slathered in the sauce. All of which was delicious along with the shredded pork, sunny side up egg and what looked to be pickled onions! Overall with the drink and dish, jt was $29 with tip as well. Pretty good price considering all the food that was served! I was pretty satisfied! Service was quick and chill as well. If you're in the area definitely get your breakfast fix here! Just maybe worry a lil about parking! You'll find a spot though I promise haha! ”
“ I've been meaning to try this location for the longest time! My friend and I headed over after a cycle class. We were told it would be a 20 minute wait, but there was a long time. Plan ahead if you're a larger group cause this place can get busy on the weekends. Parking is also a struggle, we needed to park near Walgreens. My friend and I shared a breakfast burrito, it was delicious. I also really wanted the Uber French toast, but didn't want the whole portion. Our waiter recommended just getting the Ube cream on a side of regular French toast and it hit the spot! Worth a try, head over! ”
“ It's been a while since I've been here. Standards have gone up! They don't miss here. Always leaving satisfied. They have a new menu with some updated items! Pork Belly Banh Mi: 9/10! The bread that they used had the perfect amount of crunch without the ripping of my palate like typical banh mis usually cause. The flavor is INSANE. I don't how how they do it with all of their items, but they pack so much flavor in such a small amount of space. All of the components work so well together! Pork belly rice bowl: 8.5/10. We ordered this bowl the old fashion way with pickled daikon instead of the new kimchi. The coconut rice gives it the perfect sweetness to the fat of the pork belly. Service here is always S-Tier. Waiters are always so friendly! ”
“ Highly recommend if you're in the area!! Upon walking in, the interior is beautifully decorated. We were also seated right away even though it was around 12:20 pm on a saturday. Our sever was helpful and informed us of popular options and a run down of the menu. Additionally, they were always ready to refill our water cups! I got the ube toast, and it was such a unique taste that I loved! While you could split it and add a savory option, I was able to eat it myself and not feel uncomfortably stuffed. 5/5 ”
“ Great waiter! The Bloody Mary was perfect, I got the regular nit the spicy. Ladies had a mimosa bottle, apparently best value after two. Chilaquiles, fried chicken and waffles and the pork belly bowl, all delicious! Sat outside with the dog, the weather was warm and the street was generally quiet maybe because the holiday weekend. ”
“ The ingredients were very high end, and I really enjoyed the hash brown in my breakfast sandwich, and the portions were HUGE! I'm giving the coffee a 0/10 though. The "cold brew" was watery and weak, the vanilla latte was more milk than coffee The service was a little slow, and there was no toilet paper in any of the women's room stalls. Ambiance was nice though! ”
“ How have I not tried this spot before!? This is by far going to be my new spot. Everything here is delicious. The service is amazing and i love the modern contemporary look inside. It is so amazing. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Let's start. First got the mimosa flight. My favorite was the passion fruit but they're all soooo goood. Sisig burrito. It's so favorable and well made that you don't need sauce. The playing looked so beautiful that i didn't want to eat it. Overall i wish it had more meat but overall good! 4.9/5 The pork belly bowl. That stolen the show by far. I can't describe it, but it was amazing and PACKED with meat. Every bite had flavor! I would give it a 10/5 if I could but I'll give it a 5/5. Ube French toast is well balanced of sweetness and flavor. You didn't even need syrup and the ube is on point. Overall this place is good hands down! I strongly encourage everyone to give them a try. ”
