    Been here a couple times already, all times, the food and ambiance have been great! This location is clean and spacious enough to seat many families. Whenever we come, we have been immediately sat without wait. I will say.. they need more servers here. The service is ok ... when they get to you. Because each server has so many tables to attend to, it's "slow". The food does come faster than the time it takes someone to get your order and prep the table. Servers there are hit and miss .... some have been so busy they don't really come back to refill water.. Some are nice. Ordered a BLT Eggs Benedict this time and it was delish! the lemon dressing on the arugula.. *chefs kiss*. The hollandaise sauce makes the eggs benedict for sure!! delicious.

    Quieter location of first watch. Don't skip out on their juices. Great standard breakfast. Won't disappoint.

    Our sever was really amazing and great at her job! The ambiance has a great rustic vibe that I'm absolutely loving and enjoying! I had gotten the breakfast tacos and oh my goodness it was so delicious I almost wanted a second plate just for the tacos! Would come back again for sure!

    Our server Jackie was amazing She took great care of me and my wife she made the whole experience enjoyable. She was friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Even though the restaurant itself has some areas it could improve (like wait times and no Louisiana Hot Sauce, which I wish they had), Jackie really made the visit worth it. If you come here, ask for Jackie she'll make sure you're taken care of

    Million dollar sandwich

    We tried Gingerbread spice donuts at First Watch. Oh my goodness. If I were rich I'd have a chef who would have a bowl of these waiting for me every morning when I woke up. The short rib poutine was super flavorful. Tender meat and potatoes. The million dollar sandwich is legit. So big and full of all the goodness of a great breakfast.

    5 star......, 5 stars!?!?!?!?!?!?! Yes, 5 stars people! Its hard for me to give a perfect score but on this day, at this location, every single thing that mattered when going out to a restaurant was met. Customer service: Cleanliness: Attentiveness: Turn around time: Presentation: Quality and taste:

    Market hash 13.49
    Diana N.

    Market Skillet hash $13.49 - 2 eggs your way on top of potatoes with mushrooms, zucchini, shallots, red peppers, baby spinach, melted Mozzarella and herbed Goat cheese. Comes with toast and fruit. I got this bc i like the market veggie sandwich. Hash was pretty good. Lots of potatoes and veggies. Huge serving so I took half to go. Gingerbread spiced donut holes $5.99 - (holiday menu) comes with caramel toffee sauce & creme anglaise. These were good. Crispy on the outside, soft and cakey on the inside. Not too sweet. Came with about 12-13 donut holes so there were plenty. Took some to go. Sunny Seoul hash $13.99 - (holiday menu) shaved seared pork with kimchi, cheese, eggs, gochujang aioli. Bf enjoyed it,he struggled to finish it all. Regular coffee $3.69 - good typical house coffee. Kind of loud. Not sure if it's bc it's so open. Also I feel like the prices have increased. They used to be pretty reasonable, but now you're spending $14 for an entree (inflation everywhere though). Portions are generous at least.

    Chorizo scramble
    Ann P.

    We enjoyed our brunch here! Have been to the Sugar Land location and enjoyed their food as well. This was our first time at the Richmond location and overall felt the level of service and food to be comparable. We waited only a few minutes to be seated mid-morning on a Saturday. The waitress who seated us offered us coffee straight away which was much appreciated! Our orders were taken promptly. We tried their new menu items birria quesadillas, chorizo scramble, and a kids chocolate chip pancake and bacon strips. They have a really great variety on the menu savory and sweet alike so I think it's a good choice for w group brunch! Sure to find something for everyone here. Our food had over a 25 min wait and only 2 items were brought out at first. The waiter forgot the syrup for the pancakes and my birrria quesadilla w eggs took another 10 min to get to the table. The food was overall enjoyable however I felt the hollandaise sauce on my poached eggs over the birria did not complement the quesadillas well. There's almost a sweet taste to it which wasn't my favorite but wasn't bad. Would ask for it without sauce next time. I'd rate the meal a 6/10. The other 2 entrees especially the scramble were much better, bacon extremely salty tho. We paid at the counter and left satisfied. Would definitely return and recommend for a nice casual brunch!

    Food was delicious and service was fast and prompt! Will definitely recommend this place for a nice quick breakfast! Coffee, water and all was on point! Will return again when in Texas!

    We had a very disappointing experience at Mandi Cafe and Grill in Richmond, TX…read more The menu was not helpful, and the gentleman working by himself was not very informative either. We placed an order for five people and asked for water. After 20 minutes, our appetizer (the mixed sampler) arrived -- which was honestly the best part of the entire meal. Unfortunately, no plates, silverware, or drinks were provided, turning the night into a BYOS (bring your own silverware) and BYOD (bring your own drink) situation. Our main food arrived 36 minutes later, and it tasted like reheated, microwaved leftovers. The lamb gyro meat was extremely dry, like it was days old. The chicken curry tasted like plain chicken with tomato paste -- no depth or seasoning. The naan was barely reheated and still cold on one side. When we finally received our waters after the food was already delivered, it was warm tap water. To make matters worse, this was a $95 meal. At that price point, the quality and service were completely unacceptable. Paying nearly $100 for what felt like microwave leftovers was incredibly disappointing. I don't know if this was an off night, but our experience was not even close to worth the money and not deserving of even one star. The only redeeming part of the meal was the appetizer.

As it is located in Sugar Land Town Square, there is complimentary garage parking (a huge plus) amongst paid storefront area parking. The casual, order at counter concept is wonderfully executed as those placing an order at the counter will receive a number placard to place on any table of their choice so that food and specialty drinks can be delivered. The atmosphere is casual, relaxed, and welcoming despite a higher noise level that's prominent on the weekends. They serve crepes that are sweet or savory, from breakfast style crepes to super hearty lunch/dinner-worthy ones. My go-to is The Houstonian (mozzarella, bacon, sausage, potatoes, scrambled eggs, fresh jalapeños) when I go for breakfast/brunch, the Nordic (smoked salmon, dill sour cream, capers, scallions, pickled red onions, lemon) or the Chicken Carbonara (grilled chicken, mozzarella, bacon, parmesan, and cream sauce) when I'm having lunch or dinner. Of course, you can devour a sweet crepe any time and not just for dessert! I love the Apple Cinnamom Creme Brulee and the Dulce de Leche or Nutella with mixed fruit. The options are endless whether you're craving something sweet or savory. While I can't say that the crepes are authentically French, they are delicious in their way. The drinks are aplenty as well, including your typical fountain drink selection, hot cocoa, teas, lattes, milkshakes, and beer, wine, and cocktails. It's a good time with family or friends in a non-pretentious atmosphere. They are busy particularly on the weekends but the orders come out in a reasonable time frame from order to table. They also offer to-go and pre-ordering in-app if that's something that interests you.

The staff were incredibly kind, the food came out quickly, and the place was busy, yet I still did not fully enjoy my overall experience. My mom ordered the Butter Chicken Rice Bowl, while my sister and I shared two Samosa Chaats, a four piece Punjabi Veg Samosa order, and a Mango Hibiscus Mocktail. When everything arrived, we quickly realized we had ordered far too much food for three people. The Samosa Chaats were solid and comforting without feeling overly heavy, and they seem like something that would really hit the spot late at night. Because we ordered two of them, the extra samosas ended up feeling unnecessary. While the butter chicken rice bowl was decent, we were not warned that it was spicy, which caught us off guard since butter chicken is usually mild. My mom struggled with the heat, which took away from her enjoyment. I was also not told that the mango hibiscus mocktail was carbonated. Although it tasted fine and slightly artificial, I personally dislike carbonation and could not finish more than a sip. Overall, this café has a fun concept, friendly service, and quick turnaround on food, but the dishes themselves were hit or miss, and the experience did not justify such a long drive. If you live nearby and want a casual late night bite, it might be worth checking out, but I would not go out of my way to return.

The kids got pho with noodles and dumplings (3) and the pho broth with a little bit of dashi shio broth. Neither of the kids ate much, so not sure if they didn't like it or they had too much snack earlier. They did gobble down the dumplings so those must have been good. The takoyaki was also pretty yummy and something I don't usually try. I got the peach honey oolong tea with popping lychee boba. I thought it was a little bit too sweet but that's partly my fault for not asking to customize it. I feel like my drink was good but nothing super special or unique. Overall, I really liked this place and I can see why people come in and just order the broth to go. Make your own noodles or dumplings at home and make it more filling.
