Huge Portions and Great Bloody Mary!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The Millionaire's bacon was a standout, pairing perfectly with everything, especially the bloody mary. The portions were huge, so definitely come hungry. The food, service, and atmosphere all received a perfect 5/5 rating.

Dangerous food discovery, disappointing experience
I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. I found a staple/small piece of metal wire in my food, which resulted in me getting stabbed in my throat, tongue and cheek. The server was kind and offered to remake the food, but I no longer trusted the kitchen and decided to leave. This was particularly upsetting as this was my go-to omurice place. I'm giving an extra star solely for the server's kindness.

Generous Portions and Friendly Service
My experience at the restaurant was quite positive. The brunch menu was extensive, and I ordered the omurice rice while my friend had the smoked salmon omelette. Both dishes were substantial, packed with protein and served with a huge helping of potatoes, including both regular and sweet varieties. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The portions are so generous that you could easily split them into two meals with a little self-control, otherwise, be prepared to feel very full! The service was friendly as well.

Anniversary Breakfast Delight!
Came here after stopping by Sweet Maple and seeing their long line. This spot's menu is somewhat identical to Sweet Maple, so my wife and I decided it would do for our 10th Anniversary breakfast. We joined the waitlist found directly outside of the entrance. It took less than 5 minutes to wait, and we were seated. The place is cute and quaint. I love the host(ess) that sat us because the walk they had was to die for! Our waiter, Ae (nickname he gave us), was warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. He helped us make some great food choices. All food came out fully cooked and hot. I had the Ricotta pancakes meal and my wife enjoyed the omelet meal (2nd omelet from the bottom). We both loved everything. My wife never had matcha tea, so I ordered her the Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte. She thoroughly enjoyed that. I had the Perfect Hot Chocolate with DAIRY FREE whip cream (Yes, they have this. I haven't had whip cream in years because I'm lactose-free. It was so so so good lol. I did not need to add anything. This place welcomes all! Parking is difficult though, but it is well worth the time and wait.

Super cute place, great food and service!
Nelson, our server, was very tentative and provided us with great recommendations. This was our first time at this location, and we found it to be super cute 🥰. The food was so good. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely Love This Place!
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I entered, the hosts greeted me with kindness. I tried the matcha, and it was very well made. The food options were plentiful, and the portions were large. I will definitely be returning for the Benedicts, pancakes, and French toast.

Disappointing Salmon Benedict
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing, particularly with the food. I ordered the smoked salmon benedict, and for $29, I expected a higher quality of salmon. Unfortunately, it was very dry and had a stale taste. Based on this experience, I would not recommend coming here.

Kitchen Story Brunch Delight
My experience at Kitchen Story for brunch was fantastic. The pancakes were incredibly fluffy and served with fresh fruit. I also enjoyed the millionaire's bacon, which was perfectly crispy and sweet. The omelet was rich and filling, complemented by a delicious demi-glace. A simple yet unforgettable highlight was the sweet butter on the toast. I was thankful there was no wait during my visit, which enhanced the overall experience.

Perfect Burger and Fries!
My experience at the restaurant was great! I ordered the California burger, which came with wedge fries. Both were cooked to perfection. The portion size was generous, and the plate was a good value, costing $25 and being enough for two people to share. The service was quick and efficient.
