This place is great!! Loved the ambience! The vibe is kinda swanky when you walk in, but the service is super chill and the menu is casual Asian fusion brunch. Everything we had was delicious!! The Vietnamese coffee was BOMB!!! 5/5 would recommend! My friend & I shared the pork spring rolls (5/5), fo shizzle (4/5 - meat was super tender but a bit fatty for me, egg stuck to the bottom of the cast iron), and the ooh bae pancakes (5/5). Would absolutely come back & try more things! Bring your appetite. We were STUFFED!! read more

Some hits and some misses at this trendy Vietnamese fusion restaurant. HITS: -Ube pancakes -Pho poutine fries- if you're gonna get one thing here, I would get these. Managed to capture the pho flavoring of a broth in the meat and gravy atop a bed of fries -Fo shizzle- tender beef in a tomatoey sauce MISSES: -Pho french dip. Broth was really good pho broth but the sandwich was just meh and I could not get over the provolone cheese flavor overpowering the pickled veggies. It just did not go well together imo. -Pork belly fried rice. pork belly was really dry. The whole dish was nothing special NEITHER HIT NOR MISS: -Lemongrass tofu burger. Was cool to watch the burger bot assemble this, but overall it was just ok. Wanted a vegetarian option so this checked off the box for that. It comes with fries. It was interesting because the fries just sit in a box and the robot adds it on the plate. Not sure how long they're sitting in their boxes on the warmer. Vibe is hip, younger crowd, they have a live DJ on weekends read more

I went here for Mother's Day brunch. I had reservation and so seating was almost immediate. They have a good variety of Pan-Asian brunch dishes. I ended up ordering their Pork Belly Fried Rice , Crab Burrito and side of Pancake with side of Fries. Pork Belly Fried Rice was absolutely delicious. The pork was perfectly cooked and crispy. I would definitely try this place again for the food. Though I didn't like the service that much. They were not very cordial. read more

this is a vietnamese fusion brunch spot and as someone who is vietnamese, I LOVE THIS PLACE!! FOOD: delicious and unique pho poutine 10/10 - the pho flavor comes through SO well - i cant fathom a pho poutine tasting better than this RBF 10/10 - pandan waffles, fried chicken, ca phe sua da Syrup - such a genius combination..... i think about this dish very often and what i compare to whenever i try other chicken and waffle dishes Coconut coffee 9/10 Pork belly fried rice 7/10 - standard! nothing extraordinary but delicious :) Banh xeo tacos 6.5/10 - I personally wouldn't order this again. The idea is good in theory but I left wishing I got more out of it. I wish the shell resembled like a banh xeo more ube pancakes I only had a bite of this and WOW the ube flavor really comes through Service: - Very accommodating when it comes to seating. I've has a party / reservation for 10 people before - I love coming here for birthdays, they always give the birthday person a treat :) Ambiance: - Lovely decor and space - Every time I've come here, there's a DJ. I don't mind, but it's definitely not the typical brunch vibe you would expect as DJ can get loud. read more

Breaking Dawn Brunch - pho poutine, rbf - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Gatos, California

Loved it. First off, the vibes were immaculate. It looks like it was a bank (and probably was) and the themes feed off of the elegance but also is very brunchy vibes. They had a live DJ during Sunday morning which was completely unexpected and even more unexpected? Burger Bot. A robot for burgers. I don't know if the burger COOKS the burgers per say but it definitely assembles them! Another table ordered a burger so we were all able to enjoy the spectacle. Souffle Pancake: not super jiggly but it was yummy so all is forgiven! Churro French Toast: I wish we ordered more. This was so good! The photos online made it look SUPER sweet but it was perfectly sweet and not overbearing at all! The hawaiian rolls were a perfect fit for these kinds of french toast. Fo Sizzle (beef): my word. I loved this. This fits my palate in every sense and if I lived closer you bet I'd be a regular here! the beef is so tender and juicy (I did have 1 or 2 tough pieces but sometimes thats just how beef is!). The sauce was great, a bit on the salty end but perfect with the egg, tomatoes, and the half baguette. It had the perfect ratio of everything! read more

We recently visited a modern fusion Vietnamese restaurant in Los Gatos for breakfast and brunch, which features a DJ. The place was bustling when we arrived, but fortunately, we had made a reservation a few days in advance. The interior is beautifully designed, resembling a Western restaurant rather than an Asian one. The restaurant offers full bar service, including cocktails, wine, and a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The menu is pleasantly concise. For appetizers, we chose the Banh Xeo Taco and Pho Poutine. For the main course, we ordered the Resting Brunch Face (RBF) and Crispy Pork Belly Fried Rice. We also tried the "Sleep When You're Dead" (Café Sua Da) and coconut coffee. The food was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the Banh Xeo Taco and Crispy Pork Belly Fried Rice. The coffee was also excellent. While the prices are on the higher side given the portions, it's understandable given the Los Gatos location and the unique dining experience they aim to provide. read more

This place left us absolutely speechless. The best thing about a restaurant is when they offer dishes you can't find anywhere else, and this is one of those places. Starting off with atmosphere, the dining room is elegant when it comes to the look and even the gold trimmed furniture. There was also surprisingly a DJ playing the entire time (throwback R&B jams that fit the brunch vibe). RBF: subbed the coffee syrup for coconut syrup and it paired really well with the pandan waffle. The chicken are thighs compared to some places that will just use tenders and the breading tasted so flavorful. Pho poutine: what I meant by something you can't find anywhere else! It's definitely meant to be shared - super filling and such a unique dish. Banh mi pho dip: probably our least favorite as the meat is definitely chewy, but the broth was really good. We would come back for sure! There's so many dishes we want to try.. but I don't know if I would even want to get anything else with how good the above was already! read more

Food Noodle please ($17) + Prawn ($10) - It was fine but I'd skip it. It's like garlic noodles and kind of on the heavier side. Loco Moco ($24) - I'd order this one again. It's a beef patty with a sunny side up egg on a bed of rice with gravy. Tasty and the pickled onions help cut some of the fattiness. There was a lot on the menu that seemed intriguing but there was only so much I could order. Service It was fine. Got seated almost immediately and food came out at a reasonable time. Nothing over the top but also not neglected. Ambiance They have a burger bot which is fun to watch. It's a nicer up scale restaurant. It's heavily Vietnamese inspired infusion spot. read more

A heavily-hyped (by Tik Tok and Instagram influencers) brunch spot in downtown Los Gatos I was prepared to be bored by, yet surprisingly, despite all the flash, had decent food. I hate the ambiance. The DJ is too loud, tables are too tightly packed together, and everything about it screams Snapchat filters. Service was totally fine - though I never did figure out why they have robots on the side of the room. Parking is a nightmare. But the food: pretty good. The pandan waffle was well made, even though there are better options in East San Jose. The chicken that came with benefited from sauce. The tacos coated with shrimp had a nice distinct Vietnamese flavor. It's interesting fusion, especially for brunch, but it works despite all the glitz around it. read more

such a unique asian fusion brunch place, especially with vietnamese dishes I've never thought i would see at a brunch spot! RBF 8/10 - this was their take on chicken and waffles. they made a pandan waffle (very viet) with a cafe su da (viet coffe) syrup, which i thought was super interesting, it actually tasted like a coffee thick syrup. the chicken was pretty big and juicy Vietnamese Coffee 7/10 - this was not bad, i like mine tasting like the classic vietnamese coffee, so if you want something more elevated and creamier, this is what they were going for Banh Xeo Tacos *discontinued* - these tacos were massive! and they loaded it up with the protein, it was more like 2 burritos. i actually enjoyed these alot since they grilled the protein, but it was a little hard to eat bar area is beautiful and they have live dj's here sometimes, which can get pretty loud and hard to talk, but love the ambiance and the decor here! read more

ABSOLUTELY loved coming to this place, I actually came here two days in a row their interior and menu is so aesthetic also! First their pho poutine fries: what a fun unique combo of an appetizer that's both crispy and soft from the pho toppings. It's a LARGE plate too so you can definitely share this. Absolutely must have is the churro French toast, it's a Hawaiian sweet bun with a vanilla custard stuffed inside!! It comes with 4 pieces so it's the perfect little sweet treat to share. The loco moco was ok, only because I like my gravy a little more thick and this one was definitely thinner! RBF?! Amazing pandan waffle with three pieces of boneless chicken breast? Thigh? Either way deliciously crispy. It comes with a hazelnut syrup on the side and it all pairs wonderfully. Our server both days came to check in multiple times and the food comes out quickly! Definitely come check out the vibes! Sometimes they have a live DJ as well on weekends! read more

Food tastes great but I'm noticing now that more than one dish had missing items (compared to menu description). We made a reservation but parking around the area is fairly difficult so plan to head there early. It was pretty loud with the DJ and birthday party or something but atmosphere was fun and upbeat. Each time we ordered, the food came out within 10 minutes. 1. Shrimp goi - Turned out to be like a salad/appetizer so we ordered another entree. Not sure if the Vietnamese vinegraitte was added on (not on side like in some pics) but the dish had a refreshing, bright, and acidic note - Came with 7 pieces of shrimp. The entire shrimp is easily eaten (only the tail still has the shell but it's pretty crunchy) - We didn't seem to get half of the described items like lettuce, green apple, possibly papaya, and purple onions. 2. Crispy pork belly fried rice - Pork cubes were halfway between crispy and soft/fatty. Red like Chinese char siu (barbequed) and delicious - Taste of truffle unagi sauce in the rice was pretty faint but overall rice texture and taste were excellent 3. Fo sizzle: Beef cubes were super tender as were the cooked cherry tomatoes! Also came with two poached eggs. There's quite a bit of sauce at the bottom - I think oyster sauce and other marinades so it tastes like shaking beef. 4. Big Hass omelette - Looks like the baguette was forgotten but the Fo Sizzle we ordered also came with one anyway - Seasoned potatoes come with ketchup on the side 5. Ube pancake (side order) - Ube taste isn't super prominent so the pancake is generally just sweet and fluffy. - Came with a slightly watered down (for texture) condensed milk that went well with the pancake read more

You know when you go to an air bnb and the pictures online look gorgeous but you get there and it's really just cheap finishes that don't even appear to be clean? That's how breaking dawn felt I knew it wasn't going to be great when we came in for Sunday brunch and the place wasn't even busy. The menu is styled like a newspaper which is a cool idea but the menu was filthy and had huge grease spots on some of the pages. I ended up ordering the beef fo sizzle which is their most popular brunch item. $29 for 6 pieces of cubed beef, two unseasoned eggs, and half a banh mi roll. It was highkey robbery and wasn't even that good. After tip I paid $50 for my breakfast which was just the fo sizzle and a cup of tea! WTF? Service was ok, nothing to write home about. Oh also they have a giant robot burger machine in the middle of the restaurant which feels super weird given how much money they charge for their food. I can't give it 1 star because it wasn't AWFUL but i do think it was completely overpriced and just not good! read more

Vietnamese - American fusion brunch ! I'm glad that i found this place as a good Viet food introduction to people that arent familiar with viet food yet. Ambiance is vibey with live DJ and good food. Service is super nice and welcoming We came around 1245 but pho broth isnt ready. They asked as soon as it was ready if i still wanted my pho but i politely refused since first dip on the broth isnt as good since the longer the better the broth. They were also out of pork belly for the fried rice. Solid 4 stars since food is good but not wow. The sizzling plate was 30$ but id rather get the garlic noodles for the price and the flavor bomb. read more

This place is actually pretty good. Came here for weekday brunch so it was not crowded at all. Coffee was good. Its the first thing I have to "judge". It's frustrating when a breakfast/brunch place has bad coffee. Ordered chicken and pandan waffles. Waffles were good. Chicken was a bit sweet for my liking. Service was really good. The place was spacious. Love how classy the utensils were. read more

Beautiful decor with a focus on the small details. This LG gem did not disappoint this morning. We came in for brunch and had FANTASTIC SERVICE. The menu here is pretty large - they serve brunch, apps, and burgers during the first half of the day. This place is certainly pricey, but we really enjoyed it. The soufflé pancakes took about 20-25 minutes (they warn you in advance) and were excellent. The Fo Sizzle plate had two eggs, two large slices of baguette, and a generous serving of beef. They have a full bar and lots of non-alcoholic drink options too (Vietnamese coffee was AH-MAZING). They also have a machine that apparently assembles burgers?!? We didn't see it in action, but look forward to coming back and testing it out. read more

I ordered a Lucky Me Lychee Mocktail - but added Gin to turn it into a cocktail. It was nice a fruity and not too strong on the alcohol flavor. Banh Xeo Tacos - the protein in the dish was beautifully seasoned! Highly recommend ordering this appetizer! Shrimp Coconut Ceviche - a coconut cream sauce with shrimp and cucumber. This was tasty but I think I'd recommend the Banh Xeo Tacos over this item if you're debating an appetizer. Crispy Pork Belly Fried Rice is very reminiscent of the crispy pork belly you might find at a Thai restaurant. The fried rice was garlic forward in a very pleasant way. I really enjoyed this dish. Pho Banh Mi Dip comes with a side of pho broth for dipping. This one contains dairy so I couldn't try it but my partner really enjoyed it. He said the pho broth was really flavorful and the green sauce was herbaceous and complimented the dish well. Overall, a hidden gem of a brunch spot! read more

Came here with my group of girl pals for a lovely brunch. We were a group of 6 adults and some kids. I started with the caramel coffee at the bar while I waited for the gang to come. The bar server attended to me right away. We finally got seated and started ordering some apps like the truffle fries, tacos and stuff. I got the noodles with chicken and my friend got the eggs Benedict. They had a lot of options which was good for a big group like ours. They also accommodated food requests for the lil kids for example made the noodles without any sauce but only butter noodles. The wait time was very very long.. at the table the servers didn't come very often and we waited long to place as well as get the orders. The menu was also very pricey and the quality of certain dishes didn't live up to that expectation per the price. Overall it was a decent place.. I may try it again read more

I've been exploring new brunch spots lately, and I'm so glad I found this one because it was totally worth it! From the outside, the vibe looks simple, but once you walk in, it's a whole different story. The décor is super fun and modern, the tables, the seating, the bar, everything feels very well designed. There was even a live DJ playing great music, which made the ambiance feel very cool and energetic. We ordered fresh orange juice and I tried the Lucky Lyche Mocktail, which was sweet and delicious! For starters, we had the Banh Xeo tacos. It's only two tacos, but they were very crispy, crunchy, and the pork and shrimp filling were very tasty. For mains, my friend ordered the Pho Sizzle and I had the Noodles with beef. Both dishes were flavorful, and I loved the hint of sweetness in the beef, classic Vietnamese style and so tasty. The highlight: the seasonal pumpkin pancakes. OMG! They were absolutely amazing, soft, fluffy, and full of flavor. Those pancakes alone made the visit unforgettable! Huge shoutout to Dylan and Brandon for their amazing service, super kind and attentive with the drinks and everything else. Thank you! I left this place really happy, and yes, I'll definitely be back to have more of those pumpkin pancakes before the season ends! read more

Yummy!! I didn't quite know what to expect from this place but immediately felt at home. It's an Asian fusion menu but honestly, this is exactly what you could expect from a hawaiian brunch point of view. I had the crispy pork belly rice dish and my partner in crime (Mom's) had the resting brunch face, pancakes and fried chicken. And that chicken is pure Crack a lackin good!!! Crispy on the outside and moist-and-savory-perfection on the inside. Still need to try the evening version of this place which becomes 'First Born' at night. Love the layout and friendly staff. The owner is amazing and is doing a great job with all aspects of a great restaurant. Will be visiting again very soon! Gastro Maestro Approved!!! read more

Found this place on Yelp and it was a game changer. Bottomless mimosas and right across the street from the weekend farmers market. Came here because we had planned to go to Oktober fest but plans changed after we ate here and were super satisfied. I had the crab cake burrito and swallowed it lol. Place is a very nice chill spot. They also had a dj playing some good hits to jam to while you waited for your food and after you ate to dance off all the calories you just ate hehe. Loved that they made it very special for my baby girl. She had her own plastic plate setting and cute mickey mouse shaped pancake wit fruit. read more

This place has a very high ratings so I was concerned if there would be a long wait on a Sat morning. But turns out the place is huge so plenty of seating to offer. The decor is cool, modern, black/gold classy. Even the toilet was black. Menu was a bit confusing with many pieces of different size papers. Viet coffee was right on, strong and sweet. Pho Poutine is a good twist. Beef short ribs (yes), cheese curds, Pho sauce gravy over big crispy fries. A bit too salty for liking but it's a good idea. Souffle pancake is pretty with white cream sauce and fresh berries. But I had expected it to be fluffier. read more

Late post from my visit on April 27, 2025. Wanted to take my sissy out for her birthday and she had heard rave reviews about this spot so of course we had to try it and boy are we glad we did. I have found my new fave brunch spot in Los Gatos. We ordered the following per the server's recommendation: * FO Shizzle with beef - Amazing. I drool just thinking about this dish * Grilled Pork Spring Rolls - This was delicious and the sauce took it to another level. * Souffle pancakes - Light and airy, this was our breakssert and it did not disappoint. ** We ordered the ooey gooey chocolate toffee cookies, but they were out :-) * I also ordered the Me Espresso and was a little skeptical since I don't like bitters, but the bartender assured us that it would not overpower the drink and he was not wrong. So glad I tried it, this was absolutely divine. I think my sis ordered the Free Bird but I'm not 100% sure. In any case, she loved her drink. My final takeaway - 5 stars and 2 thumbs up. My new go to brunch spot when I'm in California. Thanks Breaking Dawn. Hope you open a spot in Vegas so I can stop by more often. read more

I ordered the burger so I could watch the machine make it and that was worth it for experience alone (burger was just a normal burger). The Loco Moco had little to no flavoring, like barely any salt? It felt like either they completely forgot to season it or it really just was not a yummy meal to order. It's very loud in there with a live DJ and the tables are extremely close to one another. Our table neighbors and us kept accidentally locking eyes and just having an awkward experience. Wouldn't recommend it, especially considering how many great eateries are downtown. read more

Food Rating: 6.7 Price: 8/10 Ambiance/Service: 8/10 Overall Rating: 7.6 Super cute interior but definitely on the louder side. Service was friendly and very fast. Maybe a bit too fast, since all seven of our dishes came out at once, which felt a little overwhelming. Staggering them would've made for a smoother dining experience. Seasoned Potatoes - $6 Rating (5/10) It was good well seasoned but the oil may need a purge. Overall they were too oily Grilled Pork Spring Rolls - $15 Rating (4/10) Pretty basic overall. The crunchy egg roll inside was oily, and there was just too much vermicelli which threw off the balance. Pho Poutine - $15 Rating (8/10) I think this is the must get dish at this place. The short rib meat was super tender and the gravy is super flavorful! The only issue I had was that the gravy was poured on top, so by the end, everything dried out a bit. A side of extra gravy would've made it perfect. Loco moco - $24 Rating (7/10) The rice with the gravy and egg was super delicious. The patty was very bland it needed a bit more seasoning. Noods please + beef - $17 + $8 Rating (6.5/10) The beef was super tender! The noodles were flavored and sauced well but it was just too heavy. It's a hard dish to eat solo. Shake 'em - $25 Rating (9/10) Super well balanced and delicious dish! The beef was super flavorful and tender and the vinaigrette was so tasty. RBF - $25 Rating (7.5/10) Pandan waffle was a good sweetness and texture. Chicken was a bit bland tasting / heavy and found myself wanting to eat just the waffle rather than the combination of both. read more

This place was so good and the vibes were so nice. The moment u step in, it feels pretty upscale and with the dj playing music; my friend loved every moment of it. The menu was also pretty cute being on newspaper but i didnt take a pic of it (). The banh mi pho dip was soooo good. I wanna go back for it already. It made my friend regret not getting the pho. Like it is literally a banh mi with brisket (like kbbq brisket) and the fixins for the banh mi and just the broth was a nice combo. They also give a spicy sauce on the side to add to the flavor but lowkey didnt need it. The cinnamon french toast (i think) was really flavorful but it did get too strong to keep eating (a.k.a too sweet) overall good flavors and i really wanna go back to try other dishes. read more

We came around 11:15 am on sunday for brunch and there were a good amount of tables open, so walk-in is probably fine. parking is too hard to fine but it's in downtown los gatos so it's pretty busy. they have a DJ playing music in the actual restaurant, which i thought was cool but is probably not everyone's vibe. food was actually pretty spectacular - strong flavors and overall pretty big portions. Pho Poutine: 5/5 - Really nice pho beef broth flavor with large chunks of beef and the cheese paired really well. I loved the shapes of the poutine fries and this dish was executed really well. Ube pancakes: 4.5/5 - Really good pancakes with a bit of ube flavor. Wasn't anything particularly mindblowing (compared to the rest of the food) but it was good. I would've preferred a bit more ube flavor personally. RBF (chicken and waffles) : 5/5 - Waffles were soft and cooked nicely (without being soggy), hazelnut syrup was good, chicken was cooked really well too - nice crunch on the outside and super juicy and tender on the inside Crab Cake Burrito: 5/5 - Really good balance of eggs, crab cake, and bacon. Nice textures throughout, and paired amazingly well with the spicy mayo sauce. Fries were nice and crispy too. Definitely recommend this place for brunch - good food, decent prices, and good portions. read more

Had a reservation for 14 here on a Saturday morning at 11:30am. The table before us was still seated when we arrived but we were ok with it since it was traffic and a portion of our party had yet to arrive. The rest of our group arrived shortly after and we were seated. I docked one star because of the unusual wait time it took to get not only water for my two toddlers (we always appreciate service that prioritizes kids so they're not whining and waiting... but every restaurant is different *shrugs*), but also 10-15 mins it took between sitting down and getting our order. It was 12:15pm before we even ordered Outside of that, the food and drinks were really good. Strong and smooth Vietnamese coffee, really flavorful and delicious chicken and waffles, mouthwatering, fluffy soufflé pancakes. Need I say more? The DJ gave a shout out to my grandma (we were celebrating her birthday). And the restaurant itself had a cute aesthetic - modern, newspaper style menus, clean space and restrooms, and dainty, cute plates with the restaurant's name stamped on it. They also have a burger bit (robot that puts a burger together) and invited us up to see it at work when an order was made. read more

Situated in Los Gatos downtown area, parking on Saturday for a lunch is easy with lots of options. You can make reservation on Yelp and there are plenty of reminders. Reservation was made at 12:30 but since 11:50 I got text messages reminding me that the table was almost ready. Huh? At 12:20, I got a text that table was ready and would be held for me for 10 minutes, double huh? Then when I showed up at 12:25, the host asked if I'd like to sit near the wall next to the windows, I said yes, and they went to clean up another table and left me waiting at the door. Interesting.... Service was fine, we got good service from our waiter or whoever we flagged down. Water was refilled, recommendations were offered and we were even reminded to go watch the burger packaging machine when our order was made. So onto the ambiance, it is VERY NICE! Elegant decoration, with a DJ playing music the whole time, and a burger packaging machine gimmick at the back, a nice bar table with a flashy shelf against the wall, even the restrooms are nicely modeled. Everything spells comfort and elegance. The menu was like a printed daily newspaper. i ordered a Pep in Your Step $17 cocktail with Real Del Valle Reposado, Lychee, Lime, Peppercorn, Agave Ginger, and Peychaud. It tasted quite strong in alcohol and a tad more lychee juice may sweetened it for me. The presentation looked pretty. I also ordered a Pho Poutine as it looked very creative and 5 stars! The dish was loaded in huge portions as a starter, the aroma of pho broth hovered around our table as soon as the dish was brought onto the table. The potato was crispy, the beef was soft and the cheese was soft and stringy, what a perfect combination! For the machine gimmick, we ordered Banh Mi Burger. The burger patty was still cooked at the kitchen by the chef, but the assembling and pacaking (aka put the burger in the box) was done by the massive machine at the back. After the burger was assembled, it was placed inside a box, along with the fries in another box. We were just given the 2 boxes, no dishes even came with the burger. lol....So if you only want to check out the machine, I guess you can just order a take out and watch it done there. The burger tasted good, but a burger is a burger, kinda hard to have a break through IMHO. To conclude, highlights are great decoration, pho poutine and good service. read more

This spot has probably been here over a year, but we hadn't got around to trying it. It's a Vietnamese/American/Asian fusion brunch spot. It seems odd at first, but it just works and pretty much everything we sampled was super tasty! I had the sesame grilled chicken salad, this was very crispy and crunchy and refreshing on a hot day. The dressing wasn't too overpowering and the chicken was excellent and clearly marinaded nicely before grilling. We also shared the beef poutine which was delicious! My wife had an omelette which she enjoyed and we also couldn't resist the soufflé pancakes. These took a long time to arrive, so order early. It made for a great desert (which we all shared). We sat outside as we were a big group (which consisted of puppies). Would go again! read more

(Late review May 2024) Hubby and I wanted to go on a brunch date and stumbled upon this spot. We dig it! It's a Vietnamese fusion brunch spot, and tbh, I get a little skeptical when it comes to Asian fusion flavors in a non-Vietnamese area. The staff is very courteous. The atmosphere is lively, they have live music on the weekends I believe. The live music can get a bit loud, but if you don't mind it, then you'll enjoy it. We were intrigued by the phở poutine, so that was one of the items we ordered. We also ordered bánh xèo tacos, salted crema coffee, and fried chicken burger. The poutine was BOMB!!!! SO GOOD! We were so shocked at how good it was and how it actually tasted like phở! The coffee was incredible. I'm not a coffee person and I wanted to finish the whole drink myself! Bánh xèo tacos was a no go for me. It was very hard and dry, the sauce was okay, not as much umami as I'd like it to be. Actual bánh xèo doesn't become hard even when you leave it out for a bit. Fast forward to July 2025, we came back. This time we ordered pho poutine, salted crema coffee, burrito, and a burger from the burger bot. Poutine and coffee were solid! Just as good as the previous year. Burrito was lacking flavor to me, it was very one note. My husband said the burger was pretty good. They have a robot making the burger in the restaurant and it was pretty cool. We've already decided we will no longer share the pho poutine but will be getting an order each, lol! Bottom line: Worth venturing out, go for it! read more

See all

Pretty good overall. I've been here a few times-- there are a few things I think are amazing and a few others that are so so. Definitely love the soufflé pancakes. Those are a must get. The sesame ginger chicken salad was pretty good, not the best I've ever had. Can't remember the name of the cocktail I had, but it was great. I'm just not sure anything here is really worth the price... Service is a little slow and I've had to get up to ask a server for something a few times. read more

After seeing this place featured on NBC Bay Area news, my husband and I wanted to try it out for brunch. We went on a Saturday around 1PM. The ambience is very modern and clean, with a flashy interior that's fun to look at. We ordered the popular Pho Poutine and it was super delicious! Loved that they had a DJ playing--gave really nice vibes. The staff were attentive and friendly, making the experience even better. We both really enjoyed it and would highly recommend! read more
