    Decide to grab Mimi's Cafe for breakfast and I haven't been here in years! When walking in we were instantly greeted by the waiter and seated. The waiter was friendly, outgoing, helpful. The ambiance is casual. The lighting is nice and dim and they have music playing in the background but not to loud that you can't hear yourself talk. This place is quite large inside, they even have a bar area, and would be great even if you had a large crowd. They also have a small patio dining area if you wanted to eat outside. We ordered the cookie butter latte (hot). It was frothy and had a subtle cookie butter taste. It has crumbled Biscoff cookie and cookie butter syrup on the rim which adds a nice texture and contrast while sipping on the latte. I opted for the Tres Leches Griddlecakes. It's 4 griddlecakes soaked in tres leches and topped with whipped cream & fresh berries. It's served with a side warm maple syrup, 2 eggs any style, and choice of breakfast meat. These pancakes were fluffy and the sweetness was nicely balanced. I was worried they'd be too sweet but they weren't. However, I did not use the syrup. The fresh fruit added the perfect amount of acidity and natural sweetness to them. They eggs were scrambled perfectly but the ham steak was a little dry and over cooked. It was tough and a little chewy. Based on the breakfast meal I had I would definitely come back and give lunch and dinner a try.

    I stopped in for breakfast and met the most amazing bartender that is so warm and welcoming that she feels like my friend -- Dami. She's so attentive and really kind. I ordered the Quiche Florentine that comes with potatoes. Delivered pretty fast and very tasty. I love the ambiance here as the temp inside is very nice and very relaxing overall. I don't feel rushed and was left alone except for periodic check-ins. A perfect spot to enjoy yourself. Everyone is friendly which is why I continue to return. Thanks so much!

    Service is always amazing. My grandma and I come every Tuesday afternoon and I wouldn't pick any other place. She LOVES the corn chowder, food never goes wrong. Rocio is top notch. Will forever come back as long as we can

    Excellent service and food was absolutely delicious as always. My dad used to take me here and so it was very special to take my nephew here and he loved it!

    I was curious about this place after noticing it has nearly as many 1-star reviews as 5-star ones. I ordered the steak and egg sandwich, and it was genuinely above average. The steak was tender, they use grass-fed meat, which is surprisingly hard to find. The eggs were cooked perfectly; honestly, some of the best I've had anywhere. The food also came out right on time. But then the potatoes showed up sad undercooked with a slight bitter taste which I did not enjoy. And also, no condiments, no utensils. You gotta beg like a supplicant just to get a fork and some hot sauce or ketchup. It's the little things that make a difference. Fix those rookie mistakes and this place could actually be the spot. Right now it's teetering on the edge of being worth a damn.

    I absolutely love coming to Mimi's Cafe. Our team regularly meets here as remote workers, and it's become one of our favorite spots to get work done while also holding productive meetings. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance--comfortable, welcoming, and professional without feeling too formal. What really stands out is the staff. Our waitress is incredibly attentive and kind, always making sure we're taken care of, but she also has a great sense of when to give us space so we can stay focused and productive. That level of awareness is rare and so appreciated. They've also been very accommodating with our group, providing us with a space where we can meet without being in the way, while still feeling part of the warm and friendly environment. It truly makes a difference when you're trying to balance work and collaboration outside of a traditional office. The general manager is just as impressive--professional, approachable, and genuinely committed to creating a great experience for guests. If you're a remote worker or have a team that needs a reliable, comfortable place to meet, I highly recommend this location. It's a hidden gem for productivity and great service all in one.

    Bittersweet return--amazing service, but the food just didn't hit like it used to. My husband and I used to eat at Mimi's Café in Fontana often before COVID, and we had so many good memories here. When we were recently in the area, we decided to stop by and see how it was doing. Seeing that Mimi's had survived the pandemic honestly made us happy--this place felt nostalgic, familiar, and comforting. But unfortunately, that excitement turned into disappointment. We arrived around 11:00 AM, and the restaurant was fairly busy. What really stood out was the server, who was wearing all the hats--hostess, server, and cashier. She was clearly experienced, managing the entire front of house with grace, professionalism, and kindness. Despite the lunch rush, she made sure every guest was greeted and informed ("Just give me a few moments, I'll be right with you")--her service was top-notch and a huge reason this review isn't any lower. The food, however, fell short. My husband ordered the Salmon Benedict I had the Short Rib Benedict Each dish was $19, and sadly, both were under-seasoned. We had to add salt and pepper to even bring the dishes to life. The food was edible, but nothing special--just something to fill our stomachs. Our taste buds were genuinely sad. In today's economy, when every dollar matters, it's frustrating to spend nearly $40 on two plates that felt uninspired. There's too much good food out there to settle for mediocre. We also noticed that the restaurant seems to have become a popular spot for an older demographic. It's a good place for group dining or church gatherings, thanks to its spacious layout. It made me wonder if the food is intentionally toned down in seasoning to suit their core clientele--which is understandable, but disappointing if you're looking for flavor. Bottom line: We were rooting for this place. We really wanted it to be as good as we remembered. The service was truly excellent, and we respect the hustle of the staff--but with prices this high and food this bland, we probably won't be coming back.

    Avacado toast

    My avacado toast was good. Service was good. Vibes were good. Everything was good overall.

    Crab cake egg Benedict

    Food was great! Came in on a Tuesday afternoon and while it was a bit dead (as it typically is), but our server was attentive and sweet. Got a crab cake eggs Benedict; the crab is a little faint but the meal itself was yummy.

    Do they have a room for private parties?

    I’m not a 100% sure on this, but I believe they do. I say this because they have what appears to be a more secluded section that’s separate from their regular dining room area. In my opinion, this space (room) would be ideal for private parties. But…

    Criminally underrated sushi spot in Rancho Cucamonga!…read more Girlfriend was craving sushi, and we decided to give KUWADA a shot on a whim... May have just found our new favorite sushi restaurant! The atmosphere and decor were modern and classy, and whoever was in charge of the music had phenomenal taste! The sushi itself was amazing, fresh and flavorful with so many different options to choose from. Same goes for the cocktails, I love a mojito and the Sakura Mojito may have been the best mojito I've ever had. Our server was lovely and fun to talk with, attended to our every need and allowed for a great dining experience. 10/10 will be revisiting!

    I had a good experience at Kuwada (Rancho Cucamonga). My family and I ordered about 12 dishes on…read moreour visit. The selection felt limited (mostly rolls, nigiri, and appetizers). The rolls came very saucy, and most plates had an aesthetic appearance. Personally, if I were to ever revisit this location, I'd only order the garlic noodles w/ shrimp & the nigiri. For this review, I will focus on the Lobster Tail Roll ($36), Gyoza ($14), and Monaka Ice Cream ($7). I arrived at Kuwada (Rancho Cucamonga) on Sunday (around 12:50PM). Parking is very easy. The lot is HUGE. I had a reservation for 1PM, but a reservation felt superfluous since the restaurant was VERY empty. Throughout the entire dining experience, I only noticed one other group arrive. Staff is the HIGHLIGHT! Staff (receipt says JoJo) was the MAIN superstar. JoJo charmed the table; JoJo maintained a professional, kind demeanor; and JoJo worked very hard. JoJo gave excellent recommendations, and JoJo maintained a friendly, bright smile throughout our visit. Regarding food, it felt inconsistent. The food in the beginning was plated elegantly and carefully. However, as time progressed, it felt like the kitchen was beginning to rush despite the lack of customers. Food arrived very slowly, and later plates looked a little splattered and untidy. Thankfully, most of the food was very good. It's a journey of texture, fresh ingredients, and light & bright flavors. The Lobster Tail Roll ($36) had fried lobster bits, asparagus, avocado, masago, eel sauce, and mayo. It tasted like a vegetable roll at times. The Gyoza ($14 - 6 Piece) was panfried with seasoned pork and vegetables. Tasty!! And the Monaka Ice Cream ($7) is tiny with Macaroon Shell and a small scoop of Green Tea Ice Cream. All in all, these dishes didn't feel special, but they were prepared well enough. On ambiance, Kuwada (Rancho Cucamonga) is very attractive. The location is dimly lit, very clean, and spacious. However, the music is awkward at times. There were moments where light, lovely music was playing... only for random yelling music to briefly appear... to then suddenly be replaced with a country-style song. It all felt surreal. I don't think it was intended, but I think their music playlist was accidentally switched to the wrong track. Overall, Kuwada (Rancho Cucamonga) is an interesting experience. Honestly, the only reason this review is "5 Stars" is because our waitress was EXEMPLARY. Although the ambiance and cooking staff was lackluster, the front of house is MAGIC. This is a not bad, pricey place. 4.5 out of 5

    I usually dislike fried rice. Whenever I have a choice between that and regular steamed rice, I…read moreusually opt for the latter. I just much never saw the point of adding random ingredients to rice when I could have complete control over what I want as ulam. I remember when Toby and I were in Hawaii, she insisted I try some local fried rice. I ended up getting somewhat sick because whatever they put into it just didn't agree with my stomach. And it's not like I could've asked to take the offensive ingredients out because most places don't post exactly what goes into their version of the dish and if I asked to hold the sketchy stuff, it would end up being closer to steam rice anyway. But some places like Scrambler's Cafe just know how to make it right. They load it up with meat only put the bare minimum of veggie mix, and portion it out like there's a hungry man ordering it. Every bite is tremendously flavorful and filling. I love their fried rice and it's quickly become a go-to dish at Scrambler's--first at the Corona location and now at the new location. The service is great too. Everyone was nice and the refills came fast without prompting. Every restaurant should have service this competent. Also, the ambiance was great. The tables were spaced out and the noise was very respectful. It's just a chill place all around, fit for large parties and solo diners. It's a good eating place for anyone. Overall, this place is an amazing spot and I look forward to coming back here.

Parking can be challenging because there are other shops and restaurants. There is no street parking. The Ontario location only open 0700-1400. They have breakfast and lunch items. We came in for breakfast. I love a good Loco Moco, especially when the eggs are cooked perfectly. Not mentioning any names, but if you read some of my other posts, then you know. I love the options for the Loco Moco, hamburger, Spam, chicken katsu, or Portuguese sausage. They had a shredded beef short rib option the day we went. I ordered it and it was fantastic!! Definitely will be back to try the other combinations. I had to try the macaroni salad and it didn't disappoint. The island Chilaquiles has kalua pork and it was also delicious ! Ordering is a bit different. You order at the counter and they assign you a table number and then you go sit at your assigned table and eat. It was packed! Line out the door and a line for the whole duration of our meal. There are plenty of tables inside and outside. And they can accommodate large groups too. The staff is very friendly and they have staff walking around refilling (regular) coffee, if you order it, but the special drinks are one time. Again they are only open for breakfast and lunch. I think this will be our go to Loco Moco spot for a while. They have other breakfast options too, but I really enjoy a good Loco Moco. Support small businesses and Always be kind to your server's and just everyone in general. Enjoy life and good times with family and friends. Thanks for your interest. Blessings.
