Pricey food, slow service
My experience at this restaurant was okay. The food was decent, but I found it to be pretty pricey for the quality. The service was also slow, and they even forgot our water refill.
Overall, it was an average experience.

Amazing Fried Chicken Sammie!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I had the fried chicken sammie, which was amazing. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the chicken was incredibly crisp.
I also enjoyed the dressing on the side salad, which was delicious. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was great, both rated 5/5. The food also received a perfect 5/5 score.
There was no wait time, making the experience even better.

Long Wait, Okay Food, Poor Service
My party of three visited when the restaurant wasn't too busy. We were seated and ordered, but our food took about 45 minutes to arrive. During this wait, we inquired about our order, especially as other tables seated after us received their food much sooner.
The server's explanation was that 'something was wrong with the printer, ' but there was no apology or sense of urgency. This lack of ownership and the stark contrast in service compared to other tables led us to question if our ethnicity played a role in the treatment. The server was stern and stoic throughout.
The food itself was just okay, with the briskets being excessively salty.

A Game Changer for Chicken and Waffles!
I'll admit, I wasn't a fan of chicken and waffles dishes, or so I thought. My experience here completely changed my mind! The sandwiches are incredible; I felt like my eyes were opened to a new culinary world.
My friend and I shared the brisket and chicken sandwiches, and both were among the best I've ever tasted, especially the waffle-sandwiches. I even took leftovers on a plane to another state! This place is the real deal, and I can't wait to return.
The staff was exceptionally friendly, with Nelson, the owner, providing professional and attentive service. I highly recommend this restaurant; it's a game-changer and my new go-to in Seattle.

Unique and Delicious Brunch Spot!
Checking out Seattle and found this great brunch spot in Uptown! The owner, Nelson, was running the front of house and was very kind, offering great suggestions. His waffle designed sandwiches are super unique and delicious!
The brisket was juicy, and our favorite was the dessert waffle with fresh berries. We also tried two of the tastiest cocktails we’ve ever had: The Peach Spritzz and the Horchata Colada. The horchata, like everything on the menu, is made fresh in-house.
The options focus on sweet and savory, allowing you to focus on one direction if that's your preference. The spot was definitely worth the cost, and we'll go back as soon as we get the chance! 10/10 recommend!

Unique and Tasty Handmade Food!
My experience at this restaurant was truly unique and tasty. The food was really good, and I appreciated that everything is handmade! ✨ I 100% recommend it.
I had the chance to meet the owner, and learned the restaurant is inspired by his Chinese zodiac and indecisiveness, which totally shows with the ram/sheep character – it's also SUPER CUTE 🥰. The only minor issues were that they forgot our eggs, and my sister found the toilet weird (though I thought it was fine). Thanks for the amazing food!
We enjoyed the savory waffle 🧇, chai 🫚, and a grandma vanilla bean latte 🫘☕️. 😋

Korean Brunch Conversion!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially with the scramble I ordered. It was a unique dish, topped with kimchi and served on hashbrowns with a maple lemon aioli. The flavor combination was something I had never experienced before, as I'd never tried Korean brunch.
While I'm typically not a kimchi fan, this dish converted me – the kimchi was that good! The presentation was also excellent, second only to the food itself. The service was outstanding; everyone was super nice and friendly.
We enjoyed sitting outside with our dog and had an awesome time. I will definitely be going back!

Best Chicken & Waffles Globally
As a dedicated fan of chicken and waffles, I can confidently say this is the best I've ever had. I've traveled the world seeking this dish and only encountered one other that could rival it, at a now-closed restaurant in San Francisco. Beyond the exceptional chicken and waffles, everything else on the menu is also outstanding.
The "Sweetie" dish features the most impressive use of ricotta I've ever experienced in a brunch item, hands down. The "Amaro Cortado" is a masterfully balanced hot coffee cocktail, arguably the best I've ever tasted. Regardless of your budget or willingness to wait, you won't find a better brunch experience anywhere else.
Enjoy this gem while it's still accessible before it garners awards and becomes impossible to book.

A Must-Try Spot with Korean Flair!
I hesitate to share this gem for fear of not being able to get a table in the future, but this place truly deserves a 5-star review. The servings are generous, and the food is tasty, innovative, and reasonably priced. I especially appreciate the Korean flair throughout the menu.
Their kimchee Bloody Mary is a standout, with the extra vinegar making it unique. I highly recommend anything with the brisket; it's incredibly tender and melts in your mouth. The service is great, and the owner is so friendly.
Don't miss this spot!
