    shrooms

    First time here - very yummy! My sandwich was absolutely amazing! SHROOMS: soft scrambled egg, fontina cheese, sauteed mushroom medley, camelized onions & Mad Yolks garlic aioli on a brioche bun. oh, and beware.... these sandwiches are very messy .. in a delicious way :) The staff were working like crazy but were still very nice and pleasant! It is a small place, I think they can only seat ~15'ish, but they do have some tables outside. Take out is also a great option, you can order ahead and pick up. Parking could be tricky - it is a small parking lot, so be prepared to be on the hunt for a spot when the complex is busy. Would I go back? YES!!

    Mad Yolks is still amazing! It's so funny seeing their customers go from Willow Glen locals casually grabbing a bite during the weekdays to Gen Z forming lines out the door by the weekend. The workers are super nice too. LYCHEE LEMONADE (5/5) - I never thought I'd need a lychee lemonade in my life but now i can't live without it. Subtle taste of lychee but the lemonade's on the sweeter side. Pairs well with the sando~ B.A.E (5/5) - I literally tried this during their grand opening and never looked back. It was so good and continues to be good! I think if they're busy they don't give you as many avocado slices. CURRY MOCO (4.5/5) - I've always been intrigued by this and finally gave it a try. Firstly we were hit with the aromatic scent of curry which excited us. The katsu was tender and crispy and absorbed a good portion of that thick curry. Yummy!! The egg was a nice touch as well. PARKING - It sucks, but there are a lot of new successful businesses in this plaza which makes me happy to see, they were definitely struggling to find tenants for a while. Park down Willow near the offices and get a few steps in. Overall, I'm happy this spot is doing well.

    The sandos taste as good as they look: - 5/5: b.a.e. sando $13.95. Great bun, light fluffy eggs, aioli sauce has a kick. - 5/5: Mad Chick sando $14.25. Great coating on the chicken. Discard one bun and eat it open-face for amplified flavor. - 2/5: Iced coffee with condensed milk $5.50. Not as good as the many Viet places in San Jose.

    I stopped into Mad Yolks on a Friday afternoon and found it mostly empty. The interior had a casual vibe, with lots of natural light, some indoor seating, and funky egg-themed decor. I ordered the Mad Chick and an iced Lilikoi Green Tea. Staff members were friendly and service was pretty fast! The Lilikoi Green Tea was delicious. The crunchy passionfuit seeds were awesome and the sweetness level wasn't overwhelming. I liked the Mad Chick, but can't say it was my favorite fried chicken sandwich of all time. It had a surprising kick to it and the breading on the chicken was a little thick for me. However, I did like the basil aoili and house-baked brioche bun. Would come back to try more items!

    Round 2!! Brought the girlfriends to try out the sandwiches on a Saturday morning. Had to get the strawberry matcha latte again. They get pretty busy & I see a lot of to-go orders as well! Ordered the BAE sandwich without the spicy aioli. Definitely will come back again.

    BREAKFAST BURRITO
    Lindsey M.

    Was really looking forward to Mad Yolks opening around here, there was so much hype and it is so close by. First time we went I got the madchick- the eggs were soft and fluffy and the chicken was moist and flavorful. The brioche bun is also soft and fluffy, but a little on the sweet side. Second time I tried their version of a breakfast burrito. It's over $14, so I had high expectations. I can't say it wasn't good. Good ratio of egg, bacon, and avocado. Wished there had been more crispy potatoes, but overall it was tasty and the salsa added some flavor (though not heat). My only issue was the tortilla. It was way too soft and literally falling apart where it hadn't been grilled. I had half and I was full! Service is fine, food is a little slow to come out, but nothing that a little patience can't fix. We have only been twice for a couple of reasons. This place gets so cramped and crowded during the weekends, and it's on the higher end for casual take out food. If you are going during peak hours prepare to wait and be a little too close to everyone else waiting to get their hands on the delicious brunch options.

    Came here on a weekday morning around 9am and it wasn't busy so I was able to order immediately. I got the classic and shroom sandwiches along with the dirty tots and a matcha latte. My total was $47 in the end. I would say both sandwiches were solid in terms of portion, but lacked flavor. The eggs were plentiful and fluffy and for the shroom one specifically, the mushrooms were tender and abundant as well. However, flavor wise I think both were quite bland and given the price point, $11+ per sandwich, I would've expected it to be a bit more flavorful. It genuinely didn't taste like they seasoned the eggs or anything. The dirty tots were worth the $7.50 though. The curry sauce was savory and went well with the soft and slightly crispy tots. The matcha latte was okay. Nothing that stood out about it that was particularly good nor bad. Service was swift and staff was nice! The shop itself is really clean and had a nice casual ambiance. This was my first time trying Mad Yolks and I think it was just an okay spot. Nothing I would really crave or go out of my way for.

    BREAKFAST BURRITO

    Mad Yolks is a new egg sandwich spot that comes from Santa Cruz. Their specialty is their brioche bun egg sandwiches offering a wide variety of different combinations. They offer a large menu filled with vegetarian options, matcha, breakfast burritos, and tots. The interior is small, well suited for smaller parties. The parking out front fills up quickly but there is also parking along the perimeter of the plaza. Breakfast burrito with mushroom- Delicious flavors and textures throughout the burrito! The soft scrambled eggs were creamy, soft and delicate. The crusted potatoes added a touch of texture and some starch to the meal. Mango matcha - By the color alone I had low expectations of the matcha. It turned out to be pretty decent actually. The drink itself was pretty average but the fresh mango was sweet and added a unique flavor to the drink. Service was nice and friendly. The food and drinks came out in about 10 minutes. Overall thoughts: Food is high quality and thoughtfully made. The drinks are average but get the job done especially if you're craving matcha.

    I'm so happy that they opened this location AND it's not on the main Downtown Willow Glen area, which is great for parking! There's a few tables inside, but this is also pretty good as takeout. Food came out within 10 minutes on a Thursday at noon. My personal favorite is the MAD CHICK! The fried chicken is incredibly tender/juicy every!! single!! time!! The flavor is soooo well done too. If you love Taiwanese popcorn chicken, this sandwich is for you! A perfectly balanced sandwich. I loooove it. The matcha is quite popular here, and I find it to be pretty decent! The matcha is really sweet and not very earthy or fragrant. If you like a creamy dessert-like matcha, this is for you!

    I'm not a big fan of breakfast, but this is the one place where I devour my meal in under a few minutes.... Not only are there sandwiches beyond delicious but their strawberry Matcha is my go to The only reason I take a star off of this is it is beyond crowded. I placed an order online and had to wait 45 minutes. It's also a very small location.

    Katie R.

    Breakfast sandwich heaven! Going to dive right into the mad chick because it was unreal, true perfection. It was so full of flavor, the chicken super juicy, and the thing was massive. We also got the b.a.e, which was just okay, but the mad chick being as good as it was totally made up for that. And of course what is a sandwich without chips/fries, or in this breakfast case hashbrowns or tots? They were hidden on the menu, but after we placed our order we discovered the tots so we went back up and ordered those. We came early on a Sunday morning, I was a little worried that it would be packed, but it wasn't too bad and we were able to snag one of the last tables. Seemed like a lot of people were picking up to-go orders vs dining in. We were between a lot of the sandwiches, so we'll definitely be coming back to try more, that spam one is calling my name.

    finally gave this spot a try and got it to go tried the classic sandwich. it was pretty heavy and honestly a little messy to eat, the whole thing started falling apart while eating it flavors were decent, but the size and messiness made it a bit hard to enjoy as a grab-and-go meal

    I love this place. People are friendly and polite and the place is nice and clean. I ordered shroom and breakfast burrito. They tasted very similar. One was with tortilla while the other bun. The bun was softer and kind of sweet. The scramble egg was very moist and creamy. It came tasty mushroom. Very yummy. The strawberry matcha with oat milk was very good - right amount of sweetness and creamy. Overall very good experience.

There's a restroom with a code and a couple seats and tables with outlets to charge your devices. Service was welcoming and efficient especially after the crowds started to pick up. I got the: 1) Egg Salad Sando: -You can tell these were handmade in store. They had cute washi tape to hold the packaging together. -Solid egg salad sandwich. Slightly sweet white bread and generous amount of egg salad inside the sandwich. Creamy mayo taste that isn't too sour or tart, lots of egg in it. Perfect for an anime con next door. 2) Cappuccino: -I got this no sugar and sugar free and it came out with some pretty latte art. I thought it was mostly ok and boyfriend thought so too, but after several sips and when it was too late since we really had to get to the con, it just became too disgustingly sweet for him and he had to throw it away. 3) Yuzu Fresh Fruit Sparkler: -Yuzu puree with sparkling soda water. -Refreshing and not bad, but even after mixing this was a bit sweeter than what I would have liked and again, in our rush to leave, we couldn't really get this adjusted. I ended up pouring most of it in a water bottle to enjoy later and put in my bag. But ended up not finishing it in the end. Maybe next year I'll try again or just stick to the food stuffs.

When walking, we missed the restaurant initially because this place is clearly, a hidden gem, especially being hidden along the nightclub strip. We were blown away by the curated vibes. From the thoughtful decor to The Office being projected on the wall. It felt hip, fresh and refined. We decided to craft our own drinks - Arnold Palmers, his favorite. But they only had sparkling lemonade, which actually made it even better. We shared a salad that had some cooked pears and squash alongside the greens, walnuts, cranberries and blue cheese. I do feel like the cooked sweet elements overpowered the salad with their sweetness and textures a bit. Wondering if a refreshing pear for crunch or more dressing could have brightened it up and provided a salty, sweet balance. I ordered the Short Ribs with a parsnip purée and roasted carrots and it did not disappoint. Everything paired beautifully together, perfectly salted and cooked. I finished the entire plate. Dad got the Pork Chop and while it was overcooked, he loved the flavors happening in the dish and was pleasantly surprised by the refreshing treatment of the kale.
