    Had to try this new spot! Would give it a solid 3 out of 5. If you're really into Asian fusion I would def recommend to try it out, unfortunately my hubby and I both quickly picked typical brunch menu items and just wasn't super impressed! I think if we potentially stuck with the unique menu items with a flair of actual Asian fusion maybe we'd be more hyped. Service was great! Everyone was nice and attentive. There wasn't a long wait for us to take our order or receive our drinks and food. We got there around 8:45, and glad we did because we noticed only 1 table available. Then a rush showed up around 9. What we ordered: 2 coffees & waters, crispy Benedict, waffle & chicken complete meal.Don't be fooled by the "Sriracha hollandaise" description, it was literally like a dot on top. I was expecting more of a kick or for it to be combined. I think this place would be great to try for anyone who wants something new. But it's unfortunately not making it on my Fave brunch spots lists.

    We came here after going to the farmer's market. They were pretty busy but luckily we were able to get patio seating quickly since we came with our dog. The staff was very kind and moved the umbrellas to keep us in the shade and they also immediately brought over a bowl of ice water for the pup. The unagi omurice was creamy with a nicely whipped egg and the unagi gave it a very savory umami flavor. The husband's Hilo Moco was also good, though a little salty. The bacon side and coffee were solid too. It is a bit pricey, but understandable for Midtown. We'll be back again though to explore more of the menu since we love that they are dog friendly and service was top notch!

    Had the chance to try this spot on 19th street! I had really high expectations as the photos of the food looked great! We came during a weekday so it wasn't as busy, we came between breakfast and lunch before the lunch rush came! My advice, come around 10, u beat the breakfast rush and avoid lunch rush! Parking can be annoying as it's all street parking. Inside decor is cool as the place is modern with an open kitchen and high ceilings! Service was good, workers were friendly and professional! Angela helped us twice now, and she is awesome! She works hard as she's the only one taking orders and she hustles! Respect to Angela! For the food, we ordered the loco moco, with garlic fried rice and a delicious egg that surrounds the garlic fried rice! They used a wagu beef patty and it was a little over cooked but still had great flavor! The Garlic fried rice was delicious as well as the scrambled egg! Great combo! Definitely a must try! The unagi version is extremely popular and my pops loved it! The poutine was decent but not what I expected, good crispy tator tots, house sauce and a Fried egg! I was expecting gravy and those cheese curds but no thick gravy or cheese curds.... French toast was decent, expected it to be a little more soft or fluffier but it was a little more on the dryer side, good flavor but on the drier side! Lemon ricotta pancakes were probably the best ones I've tried! Fluffy, airy, lemon flavor was on point! Must try! The wealthy pig Benedict was great! Nice pieces of bacon, Avocado, and tomato with a house sauce and a poached egg! Excellent poached egg and it was over a sourdough break instead of English muffin! Also this spot has awesome coffee! The barista is awesome! One dude making all the drinks! He made my latte excellent twice now!! Overall, very happy with this spot! A must try!

    Swung by with a few friends for a Saturday brunch. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly they seated and served us, and we were lucky enough to get a table right next to the window. It's a great place for people watching! I got a mimosa and a tater tot poutine dish. Wow wow wow! They were both super delicious and I felt that the price was more than fair for what I received. Absolutely will be back.

    Fantastic! What a great meal at sunny side. I love the Asian fusion idea, all of the options were freakin delicious and I can't wait to come back to try more. The lemon ricotta pancakes were absolutely perfect, crispy on the sides and fluffy in the middle with the right amount of lemon flavor. Also the service was incredible. We were helped by at least 3 different servers and all the food came out hot and fast. New favorite brunch spot. Food: 5 Service: 5 Ambiance: 4.5 Value: 4.2 Marcels foodie score: 4.7

    Lemon ricotta pancakes

    I heard of this place via TikTok and thought it would be overhyped and was hesitant to try it, especially after hearing about the long wait times. We came on a Saturday morning at 10am and waited about 30 minutes. Not terrible at all for a weekend. We ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes with a side of crispy Yukon potatoes and the unagi omurice. Everything was so delicious! The pancakes were just sweet enough and seemed like they were made of a mochi batter. They were somehow both light and crispy. The ginger rice was really good in the unagi omurice. They took our order really quickly and the food came out fast too. They seem to have a good system down to minimize the wait. I definitely will be back.

    I love that asian brunches are becoming so popular - and for good reason! We split a little of everything, from the different mimosas to the tornado omurice and chicken and waffles. Everything was excellent and worth the wait, and the staff were very responsive and helpful.

    Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

    Second time here: - KP Wings are good (actually my favorite are the rice cakes in the dish... crispy style... nice). The wings looked kinda dark, but the soy garlic flavor was good. I prefer wings from other places, but still very good. - Poutine Potatoes: crispy tater tots with bacon, gravy, fried egg, and furakake toppings. Very nice. We got the gravy in the side (dipping them keeps them crispy) - Lemon Ricotta Pancakes: wonderfully crispy edges and light citrus flavor. Excellent if you are in the mood! - Chapaguri: okay, I watched a YouTube video of some expert chef make a dish using two ramen packaged products make a similar dish: mix the Korean chapaghetti with you favorite ramen and add toppings as desired. Well, this is that dish done right! (Tried it myself... not as good as Sunny Side's). Worth a try!

    Unagi tornado omurice
    Emily C.

    As soon as I saw there was an Asian fusion brunch spot I knew I had to try. This place did not disappoints and was pretty packed when I came in mid day on a weekday. The menu was so hard to choose from with many cool options. Asked the server and decided on the unagi tornado omurice and omg first off the colors and presentation was amazing. Unagi is tender, the sauce is super sweet but evens out with the tender fluffy egg and ginger rice. Meal will leave you happy and full.

    Unagi Tornado Omurice
    Elaine Y.

    Came to Sunny Side Breakfast after checking out a small art fair and left very satisfied! We shared the Unagi Tornado Omurice and the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and it was the perfect amount for two! Starting with the omurice, we really liked the layers of flavor with the sweet and savory rice, creamy egg, and tender sweet eel. The eel portion was also quite generous and there was enough to have some with every bite. As for the pancakes, they had that envious fluffy and chewy texture that you just can't recreate at home. The lemon flavor was also bright and zingy and paired well with the fresh summer fruits on the plate. All in all, great find in midtown. Pair it with the Midtown farmers market and you'll have a perfect Saturday morning in my opinion!

    I walked in on Saturday morning around 10:30am, and luckily there was a table available! The restaurant is bigger in person than it looks online. Servers were very attentive. All the food we ordered was delicious! They were perfect portions for brunch. There is no parking nearby so do plan for that ahead. Note- bottomless mimosas are timed and moderated for one hour.. and they are on that!

    Chicken apple patties
    Anastasia C.

    I totally get the hype now. We went on a Friday afternoon and it was packed, so I was expecting a bit of a wait. The iPad estimated 26 minutes, but we were seated in less than 10. Huge win when you're dining with a kid! The staff was friendly, attentive, and everything felt organized despite how busy it was. I also loved being able to see into the open kitchen. The whole restaurant feels bright, welcoming, and has a fun modern vibe. Our favorite dish was probably the Tornado Unagi. The flavors were amazing and the ginger fried rice was such a unique touch. The Hilo Moco was also delicious with a thick wagyu patty and rich mushroom gravy. My son loved the lemon ricotta pancakes, especially the cute bear face and fresh fruit. And the coconut latte? So good. I'd honestly stop in just for that. We also tried the chicken apple patties and they were way more flavorful than I expected. I'm going to try and make them at home lol We'll definitely be back. One of those places where every dish made us want to come back and try more of the menu.

    Breakfast fusion? Yes please. I ordered the bacon, avocado & tomato benedict and it delivered -- really solid flavors, the kind of breakfast that makes you wish you hadn't made afternoon plans. The latte was great too, which honestly completes the whole experience. Service was friendly and efficient without being rushed, which is exactly the energy you want at a breakfast spot. Would definitely come back next time I'm in Sacramento.

The restaurant itself was already VERY loud, with customers talking, laughing, and enjoying themselves. We actually appreciated the atmosphere because, as parents of a toddler, it made us feel more comfortable dining there as a family. Shortly after receiving our food, my toddler became upset and started crying. The OWNER approached my husband and asked him to REMOVE OUR CHILD FROM THE RESTAURANT. My husband, being the respectful person he is, complied and took her outside. At first, I was confused about why he had suddenly left until he called me and explained what the owner had told him. We had JUST received our food. At that point, I asked our server to remove the untouched items from our bill. I made it clear that I was more than willing to pay for anything we had already touched or consumed, but I was not comfortable continuing to give my business to an establishment whose owner had just asked my husband to remove our toddler. The owner then approached me, and I explained how inappropriate and upsetting I found the situation, especially considering how loud the restaurant already was. I could barely hear my own daughter over the overall noise in the restaurant. Her response was that "people were looking at me," which is why she asked my husband to take our daughter OUTSIDE. That response was extremely disappointing. She is a TODDLER. Toddlers sometimes cry. We were not allowing her to run around the restaurant, destroy anything, or behave dangerously. She was simply upset and crying. If noise was truly the issue, then why was our child singled out in an already extremely loud restaurant? What makes the experience even more uncomfortable is that we already felt we were greeted rudely by our first server. I do want to recognize the gentleman who was calling names for the tables. He was very kind and welcoming, and I appreciated his professionalism. As for the owner, I am extremely disappointed that someone who owns a restaurant would treat paying customers and their child this way. Families with young children deserve to know what kind of environment they are walking into. If children, or the normal behavior that occasionally comes with having toddlers are not welcome in your establishment, that should be clearly communicated to customers before they sit down and order food. We will not be returning, and I hope no other family is made to feel as unwelcome and embarrassed as ours was today.

They had some unique syrups, such as bourbon caramel and praline. The syrups were on the more subtle side, which some people prefer. I am not one of those people, but it was a good latte for a breakfast/ brunch spot. I wish there was more ice tho.  The skillet cornbread with sharp cheddar, creamed corn & garlic, honey butter & house made seasonal jam on the side was a great starter dish. I enjoyed the garlic and cheese. The temperature/ toastiness of this was yummy.  We couldn't decide between the cornbread and the sticky bun, so the only obvious solution was to order both. The topping of the sticky bun was delicious. It was almost pecan pie adjacent.
