Unfriendly and absolutely rude staff. We only wanted to have some lattes and they told us we HAVE to order food. I told the server that we are not that hungry and only wanted to drink some iced lattes, yet she insisted that we order food. We walked out and nobody batted an eye. Customer service and hospitality at its worst. I am not even mad at the policy but she could have been nice about it and handled the situation better. The interaction with the server with the RBF left quite the bitter taste in my mouth. read more

3.5 stars!!! Came on a sunday morning and as expected there was a wait. It wasn't too bad though considering we were a party of 7. 25 ish minute wait. Service was great throughout The main reason it's not a higher rating for me is because some dishes were pretty good and others were ok at best The good: I liked their thai inspired omelettes. We got the thai panang omelette and that was very unique, rich in flavor, and satisfying. Love the twist on a traditional breakfast/brunch dish. Saw a couple other items like the tom yum burrito but didn't get that this time around What to avoid: Their chicken and waffles felt a little weaker compared to what Ive had at other brunch places. The chicken wasn't as juicy and the waffles not as thick. Have had better elsewhere. The brioche french toast was also only ok Worth trying! But would not be on my staple sf brunches list read more

Got here around 9:30 am on a Sunday and had about a 15 min wait (FYI they will not seat you unless your whole party is there) Shared 2 dishes with 4 people and this was the perfect amount of food. -Ube Latte - fire, the hot one is served in the cutest little cup. Loved the little honey/gold crunchies on top -chicken waffle - so good I was impressed, the chicken was perfectly crunchy and great flavor and the waffle was also spot on, great dish perfectly balanced sweet/salty -holy basil omelette - this place was complete with potatoes (love that it was a mix of different potatoes including sweet potatoes), salad and toast. Good flavor in the omelette. read more

The beef panang curry omelette was delicious!! Host was lovely. Didn't give five stars because they wanted to charge my spouse $6 for gluten free toast. And when she asked the woman to take the regular toast that came out (she's celiac - not just trendy gluten free), the woman silently mean mugged her into keeping it on her plate. Weird... read more

Lapisara Eatery - Beef panang curry omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

This was such a cute find! We were surprised by the cute bears in the drinks and it was so nice to get them when we ordered!! They have a nice variety of food and many vegetarian options. Although I wish they had at least one vegetarian fusion brunch option because I wanted to try a fusion brunch item!! But whatever we got tasted yum! We got the garden omelette and the strawberry croffle! We enjoyed them both and there were other items we wanted to try so we'll be coming back! The service was super nice too, we got seated immediately and the interior was super cute! read more

I must say I was skeptical at first, but the hype is real. Came here with a party of 6 and tried a bunch of options. At first, I wanted to get the Tom Yum burrito but they ran out!!! Somewhat stunned they could just run out like that but alas, I settled for the penang omlette which actually may have been the best mistake I have ever made - such solid flavors, great curry sauce and full of beef! I tried the holy basil omlette as well but that was not as flavorful as my penang omlette. Service was great and ambiance was very homey. Highly recommend if you are looking for a fun spin on a brunch spot! read more

My first visit to this eatery for dinner and I'm happy to say it was well worth the trip. Upon entering, the staff were friendly and welcoming and I noticed the interior vibe provides a casual & trendy, yet intimate atmosphere, suitable for breakfast, brunch, or dinner with outdoor seating available. The menu offers a mix of Thai and American breakfast dishes, popular for brunch, so arriving early can help avoid long wait times, especially on weekends. ​ My chicken & waffle was delightful, with an excellent balance between the sweetness of fluffy waffle nestled underneath the savory, crispy fried chicken. This was an easy choice for my first dish to try here. The Pad Thai was vibrant & flavorful along with the portion being generous enough to share with the table. Fish & chips were decent, but not remarkable or memorable in any particular way. FYI: vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, they cater to various dietary needs​ Their other popular dishes including the Fried Chicken Benedict, Tom Yum Burrito, and Massaman Curry gives me plenty of reasons to come back to try more. ​ read more

(This review is for dinner only, not brunch:) My new favorite Thai restaurant in the city -- and the main reason is because they have Mussaman, my favorite curry, which isn't easy to find in the Bay Area and, when you do find it, it usually isn't prepared right. Mussaman is traditionally made with stew beef -- not a curry where you choose the protein -- and simmered overnight so the curry gets well infused into the meat, also includes potatoes and peanuts (Lapisara adds a few more vegetables) and has a very unique, sweet coconut/peanutty curry flavor. It is cooked perfectly here and is absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, I did not get a photo but will next time. My friend and I also had the chicken satay (referred to as "skewers" on the menu) which was excellent and great peanut sauce, and the Drunken Noodles, which is essentially Pad Kee Mow, another fantastic dish, very flavorful. I loved my meal so much I came back a few days later to try a few more things and had their Tom Kha soup with chicken which was wonderful, as well as a side of multi-colored potatoes, which were also delicious (although that was special order as they're usually served brunch only -- their "fries" on the dinner menu are your more basic french fries). Service is excellent, very homey interior and seating, and prices are in line with similar Thai restaurants, maybe even a few dollars less on certain dishes. Going to be coming back here a lot! read more

Lapisara Eatery - Tom Kha soup with chicken, in a beautiful metal hot pot lighted underneath with a candle -- soooo good! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

Cute brunch spot in SF! Food - Yummy! The croffle is a must! It was so good and the perfect texture (hybrid between a croissant and a waffle). It was sweet but not too sweet. Super cute with gold sprinkles and for $14, I'd get it again! The burger was a regular big burger, but the fries were exceptional! it was coated with extra seasoning that made them irresistible! The matcha latte was TOO overpriced. Yes, it was aesthetic and cute, but almost $9.00 for a matcha latte (which was mostly ice) was not worth it...sorry! Service - Good service overall. Our server was nice and attentive. Ambiance - We sat outside on the sidewalk, as the wait for the inside was too long. I would definitely recommend going earlier and waiting for an indoor seating. The inside was cute and spacious and looked comfortable. Unfortunately, my friend and I had to sit outside with a broken table and in a slanted Angle due to the fact that the restaurant sits on a small hill. Also, lots of people were walking by, so it wasn't as nice of a brunch as I was hoping it to be. Overall, great restaurant with good and cute food. Very instagrammy (if you're into that!) It is definitely pricey (especially for drinks and some of the meal items), but I'd recommend this brunch spot for travellers or for an occasional brunch with friends or family! read more

I love this place, consistently delicious. A great variety of food items, both savory and sweet! Everything I've tried has been excellent, and the drinks come in cute little bear glasses if you want to get something even more picturesque. Service is always fast and friendly, they're very efficient so even if there's a wait to sit down they are quick to get to you once seated. Space overall is comfortable, both booth and chair seating, indoor and outdoor options! read more

Deserving of the top 100 yelp brunches in the US. I had the Thai Panang omelette and it was a perfect curry folded into the egg. The salad was fresh and dressing was light. The purple potatoes were crispy and delicious. The menu is extensive and so many good options. Service was super fast and the ambiance was super cute and classy. Great option downtown! read more

Locations is ok. Few blocks away from Union Square and far enough away from tenderloin. Decor is ok. Nothing fancy. I didn't get a chance to use the restroom as it's always a good indication of cleanliness of facility so I can't share opinion on it Stay is very friendly and very attentive. Food is amazing!!! We got French toast to share. It was different but in a very food way. French toast had good texture and held flavor of maple syrup and the cream very well. I ended up getting the burrito. The breakfast burrito is a re-imagination of Thai soup in breakfast burrito. If you like thai food, do not pass on this. Let me just say...you're welcome!! Added bonus to tasty food is size of food. You will not go hungry! I plan on visiting this place for breakfast every chance I get in SF read more

I got here too early meeting up with a friend, but the owner lady was so nice. She told me to wait for my friend inside towards the back because it was so cold out this morning. The place had a light and airy ambiance and seating was very comfortable. The owner seems to really want everyone to feel comfortable and enjoy their time eating here, painstakingly re-arranging furniture to make sure everyone in all the parties could sit comfortably around each other without blocking the flow of service too much. The coffees and lattes come in this adorable upside down teddy bear cup. I couldn't resist ordering the tom yum burrito for brunch because I've never seen this anywhere else before. It was spicier than I thought it would be but very flavorful. Large portion too, so I took half of it home for dinner! Would come back to try other offerings when I'm in the area next time! read more

Food: The food was average, nothing too special. I'd assume it was a Thai inspired restaurant and it would have more of a Thai fusion but it was just your average chicken and waffle and crab Benedict. It tasted great tho! Except the Benedict was a little bitter. The waffle was a little soft instead of crispy. Matcha with oat was good, the iced macchiato was a bit sweet. The little ice bear was a cute aesthetic touch to photo ops. Service: It was great, they were really nice and attentive. They checked on us multiple times to see if we're ready to take our orders. Ambiance: was cute, the color palette of the restaurant was just up my alley. Overall, it was good but I don't think I would come back because it's a trip downtown and the food is average. read more

Cannot recommend Lapisara Eatery enough! This Thai Fusion Brunch spot always has a line out the door and now I know why! We were a group of 5 arriving around 12:30pm on a Sunday. They don't take reservations on the weekends so we waited in line for just over half an hour. We were given menus in line so we were able to order right after getting seated. I tried the Tom Yum Burrito and the Thai Panang Omelette. The Tom Yum Burrito tasted just like a Tom Yum soup with very flavourful chicken and rice fillings. I also liked the chips it was served with and of course the Tom Yum "salsa". The Thai Panang Omelette was equally flavourful. The sauce may be too spicy for some. I enjoyed the side of sourdough toast since it was so flavourful as well as the medley of different potatoes. The only thing I would change is frying the potatoes to make them crispier. The waitstaff were attentive and friendly, especially the hostess seating everyone who checked in on us when our meal was done. Would definitely recommend Lapisara Eatery and looking forward to coming again to try more of their dishes! read more

Saw this place online and have been wanting to try. Very aesthetic dishes and cute bear drink. Circled around, was hard to find parking near the restaurant so had to walk a little. Came on a Tuesday for brunch (made a reservation in case) and got seated very soon (pretty packed inside). The ube latte with the ice bear was super cute! Great for pictures and wasn't overly sweet, would recommend (just a bit pricey $8). We got the smoked salmon benedict which hit the spot. The mix of egg, salmon, and sauce on the english muffin was great. Holding it gets your hands messy with the runny egg. Liked the potato mix on the side as well. Wanted to try something different but wasn't a big fan of the tom yum burrito flavor. Nothing very special about the filling and not worth the price of $23. I would come back again to try some of the other dishes! read more

*Disclaimer: This restaurant is offering free speciality drinks for 5 star reviews, which might've inflated their yelp rating... We went on a Saturday morning around 11am and were seated within minutes. However, when we left, there was a significant line. The restaurant was cute and clean. Tom Yum Burrito - 2/5 I really wanted to like the Tom Yum Burrito but my favorite part of the plate were the chips and salsa... The chicken was dry and rough and in my opinion, the fried rice didn't fit Fried Chicken Benedict - 4/5 Chicken was crispy but the dish needed more hollandaise as it was a bit dry. The eggs were poached perfectly and potatoes could be crispier Overall, I think there are better brunch spots in SF. But, everything is very aesthetic and service was good. read more

My Visit: Recently had a chance to try this place with my husband as first-timers in the San Francisco area. We visited on a busy Sunday in April around 10am. There was a short wait outside the restaurant, but the line moved quickly. Food: Food was great and well portioned. I ordered the 'Farmers Classic' with chicken apple sausage. It tasted as lovely as it looks. My husband ordered the 'New York steak and eggs'. He enjoyed his meal. The two of us shared a litter of mimosa to share. Menu includes both American and Thai food. There are also some menu options for vegans and vegetarians. Service: Okay. When my husband and I got to the front of the line outside the restaurant, an Asian woman (employee or owner ) asked how many people were in our party in which we replied 2. The woman proceeded to add us to her waitlist and stated that there would be a short wait. Within seconds, two Asian women arrived to the restaurant and stood in line behind us. The employee carrying the waitlist immediately walked up to the two Asian woman and shared that there was bar seating available, if they were interested. It baffled me that we weren't offered bar seating when we were first in line at this point. Value: $$ $20+ per entree $5-$13 per drink. $12-$18 per dessert Ambiance: super busy but not so loud that you can't hear your table company. tables are super close next to each other which made it slightly uncomfortable. Small restaurant so I don't recommend dining in with a party of more than 4 people max Location: 698 Post St, San Francisco, CA 94109 https://www.lapisaraeatery.com/ *Restaurant opens from 8am-2pm. Closes. Re-opens from 5pm-9pm at time of this review. Check Hours. *street parking only. read more

Ambiance is decent. Food is good, but dear god the service was god awful! I had reservations and people without reservations were being seated before me! I have small children with me. This guy who seats people did such an awful job. We even showed up 15 minute early. I don't think is ok. Will never come back and will let everyone I know this is the one place to avoid in SF simply because of the service. read more

I had my first visit when a coworker kindly treated me to lunch, and it was such a great experience. I ordered the Grilled Pork, which was delicious, and I couldn't help but notice how beautifully plated the other dishes around us were as well. The host and servers were kind and very pleasing, which made the meal even more enjoyable. The restaurant has a bright, welcoming vibe with décor that carries a Southeast Asian colonial charm. A wonderful spot for both the food and the atmosphere--looking forward to coming back to try their breakfast, brunch and burger selections. read more

Such a cute brunch spot with hearty meals and fun beverage options! I split the smoked salmon toast and got to try the cooked salmon and the burrata salad as well. Everything I tried was amazing. The smoked salmon toast was difficult to split and messy to eat, but tasted great. The fish was fresh, the avocado perfectly ripe. The extravagant coffee drinks were fun to look at too -- my friend got a matcha with a sweetened teddy bear shaped ice cube and whipped cream on top. Would definitely recommend Lapisara! read more

My guy and I went to this establishment for my birthday brunch on my birthday. This has been on my list for brunch for a bit but have chosen other spots. Well I am going to keep choosing other spots over this one. Maybe more trendy than the tasty food. When we went we didn't have a reservation because they don't accept reservations on Fridays, Saturdays...yea that part. As I have said in other reviews I have a real issue when I can't make reservations. In any case we were able to just walk in. Prices are a bit expensive for what it is....my toast was dry, the avocado toast was guacamole on dry bread, the food was lukewarm and didn't send back because once the food came out the server disappeared. I didn't quite understand the lack of service; this would have been the day to nail it....there were only 4 tables seated. Trendy, cute place but what I ordered didn't have any flavor. My expectations are for the food, service, and ambiance to be on point or at least match the prices that they charge. read more

Thai Panang curry omelette didn't exist in my imagination until now and it is fantastic. I love Thai curry and having it in a omelette is new to me. This dish works really well. If they had a version of this dish made with prawns my head would have exploded. I'm ready to take that step, I will request for it the next time. The fried chicken and waffle was the best I've ever had. I mean the flavor, juiciness, and texture is right up there with Wayfair Tavern's buttermilk fried chicken. The waffle on the bottom was neither too hard or too dry, it was just right for everything to soak into. My wife chose the place for her birthday breakfast. And I'm glad she did because now it is one of favorite restaurants for breakfast. I'm coming back here very soon, but; unfortunately I'm not going to try anything else just yet because I did not get enough of these two dishes. This place is Thai fusion at its best. Service - fantastic! Coffee was served immediately and constantly. We switch tables twice and they didn't kick us out or try to poison us. Everyone was nice and friendly. Ambiance - hope you like Gen Z! One of them was wearing a $250,000 Patek Philippe. I regret not robbing him. Just kidding of course . Get him next time. read more

Such a delicious and unique brunch spot in SF! I came here with a group and we were seated right away on a Saturday morning. There is a large variety of foods on their menu. It was awesome to see Thai fusion dishes featured on the menu. I got the Dungenesss Crab Benedict and it was delicious! I would definitely get it again. The breakfast potatoes and salad paired very well with it. Not to mention, all of our dishes presentations were gorgeous! You can tell the kitchen spends a lot of time making the dishes not only taste good but also look good; yet, they still serve their food in an appropriate amount of time. Reservations: they accept reservations Parking: street parking. Parking is not as accessible as it could be, we ended up parking in a parking garage and then walking 10-15 minutes to the restaurant. The waitresses were very friendly and tentative! The environment was very welcoming and the interior was neat and pretty. There's lots of space for tables and chairs.
