Ok...I took a star away because of these times....not on service not cleanliness not even food. Its a bit expensive Yes it was good but damn...the prices. The coconut latte i would pass not enough coconut flavor. The Matcha martini is not my thing but my daughter said it was good. The french toast was bomb!!! Gran Marnier soaked was so delicious. The service was awesome the place beautiful. Again unfortunately the prices was the only thing. I do recommend it

No reservations. 20-25 min wait on Sunday.

Busy breakfast spot known for their brown-sugar-glazed "millionaire's bacon." located near Japantown in San Francisco. Street parking only and no reservation accepted. We came here on a Sunday morning and of course the line is wrapped around the building. It's not as bad as it looks and moved quicker than I expected. It was 4 of us and we wanted to sit inside so that might have added some extra wait time. Once we are seated, I feel like I got wrapped in a tornado! Waiter is very attentive, food comes out fast, and empty plates are cleared right away. If you're looking for a lazy slow Sunday morning, this is NOT the place. Of course, we had to order the "Millionaire's Bacon Sample Platter" to share. It comes with 4 pieces (Original, Citron, Cinnamon and Rosemary). I mean it's thick bacon - they are all delicious. The Citron stood out to me. I like that hint of orange and sea salt goodness. This is a must try! I couldn't help it and got the "Big Hip" - HAHAHA. It's their famous deep-fried French toast. OMG, it's too good and it went straight to my hips. It's crunchy outside and fluffy inside. The service is good and definitely quick. I do feel a bit rush and I don't want to be that person/group to hold up the table. Keep that in mind if you are looking for a slower pace dining experience.

Sweet Maple has been recommended to me a few times, so we finally decided to give it a try. My first impression was a little confusing. When we arrived, there wasn't anyone waiting in the designated queue area, so we walked in and checked in with the host. He then asked us to go back outside and get behind a group that had arrived after us. Although I was slightly frustrated the experience turned around. Our server was friendly, attentive, and had some great recommendations that helped us navigate the menu. We started with the Millionaire's Bacon sampler, which let us try all four versions: Citron (orange and sea salt), Original, Cinnamon (chipotle and sweet cinnamon), and Rosemary (rosemary and pepper). The bacon is thick-cut, sweet, smoky, and packed with flavor. While they were all good, the Cinnamon was my favorite. I literally couldn't stop eating any of the flavors! We shared The Francis Soufflegg Skillet, loaded with chicken mango sausage, bacon, and scallions, and served with toast and tri-colored potatoes. The eggs were light and fluffy, and the combination of the sweet-savory chicken mango sausage with the smoky bacon worked really well. The tri colored potatoes were light, crispy, perfectly seasoned, and some of the better breakfast potatoes I've had in a while. We shared a side of the fried French toast. It was good, but a little on the dry side. After seeing the regular French toast come out to other tables, we'd probably order that instead. Fun spot with great food. We will be back especially when friends and family are in town.

Don't let the line discourage you. I only waited about 20ish minutes to get a table on a Saturday even though the line looked pretty long; they have plenty of seating, inside and outdoor. The best part of this place for me is the atmosphere and their nice menu selection. I think the food is good, but not anything superior to other popular brunch spots. It's a good place for people to gather and grab a bite to eat. :)

Ribeye omurice
Wil L.

Tried the ribeye omurice at Kitchen Story and it's definitely one of the more unique brunch dishes I've had. The omurice itself was super soft and creamy, with that perfectly runny egg on top that makes the dish. The ribeye added a nice savory touch and was fairly tender, though a few bites were a little chewier than expected. Flavor-wise, it leans on the richer side, so it can get a bit heavy toward the end, but overall still really satisfying. Portion size is solid--definitely something you could share if you're not super hungry. Service was friendly and the place has a lively brunch vibe, though it can get busy and a little loud.

Busier than usual because of the World Cup events but still got in in a timely manner. Sweet maple is consistent with their food and service. It is pricey but the portions are large in comparison to other places in SF

Mocha
Katie L.

The florentine eggs benedict was the best I've ever had, and that's coming from an eggs benny enthusiast!!!! Same with the mocha, which is also my go-to latte!!! My friend had me try some of his Millionaire's bacon and it was sooo good! We bought some to-go to give our other friend, and even a day later, he really liked it too! I would recommend the candy bacon just because my friend said it's crispier, but if you prefer slightly softer on your teeth, get the Millionaire's bacon :) Service was very pleasant! Our waitress recommended the mocha latte, it was a lovely choice! I had asked between that or the matcha (which my friend ended up getting), and the barista brought out two matcha lattes. We weren't sure if we misheard her rec, so we didn't say anything, plus the matcha was my other choice anyways, but our waitress noticed and brought over a mocha latte. She gave us the other matcha latte for free, saying the barista made a mistake (though we hadn't minded) There was also no wait at peak breakfast/brunch, but that could be because we came on a Thursday. It was still very busy though

Menu

One of my favorite brunch spots in the city because of the variety of options you always have on the menu, and I love seeing what specialty items they'll have each time I go! The ube latte tasted so yummy, and of course the pancakes were just so light and fluffy. We came around 1pm on a Friday and were seated right away. Service was very quick from there. I've come for bottomless before too and can highly recommend! The Saturday energy on their outdoor patio is so nice, and they have a variety of fun mimosa flavors to choose from.

Turkey Paninis
Perla G.

Not gonna lie this place was a little overhyped in my opinion. The place is VERY cute so the vibes are there! But the food was simply average and overpriced. Service was also nice, but can't say I was impressed by anything. Good spot to take multiple people. We walked in as a party of 6 and were sat right away.

Last day in SF well spent. We got to Sweet Maple for Sunday brunch around 10:30 and were seated within 15-20 minutes. So if you want to beat the rush we saw as we left, earlier is better. The food here is an absolutely amazing traditional breakfast/Asian food fusion you would never expect. We tried a number of dishes and everyone LOVED their dishes. The ube martini is a must try. My only note, is that this is a fairly large and busy restroom serving copious amounts of mimosas with only two toilets... The lines can get quite long and we had a table right near the bathroom so we consistently had people kind of just awkwardly standing near us.

This was a very nice breakfast spot! Not a long wait for a Saturday (though we did sit outside) and the service was quick. Food was pretty good. I would say an average breakfast experience. It was a nice vibe and the restaurant was clean.

This morning I visited Sweet Maple for brunch with high expectations. I ordered the New York steak medium rare, but unfortunately it was served medium. The presentation was good, but when it comes to steak, temperature is everything, and I specifically did not order medium. When the server came to remove the plate, my dog barked unexpectedly, which startled him and caused coffee to spill onto the table. It was an awkward moment, but the staff handled it professionally and remained attentive throughout. The overall service was good and friendly, and the waiting time was pretty standard for a brunch spot. The décor is simple and basic, nothing particularly memorable, but comfortable enough. I also ordered a Nutella crepe, and here's where I was truly disappointed. It wasn't Nutella.. it tasted like regular chocolate spread. And as someone who considers herself a Nutella connoisseur, I can tell the difference immediately. If you advertise Nutella, it should be Nutella. Overall, it was a decent experience with some details that could definitely be improved. I would give it another chance, hoping next time the steak temperature and the "Nutella" live up to expectations.

Millionaire's bacon
Mei-ying W.

I have loved Sweet Maple for decades for its amazing and friendly staff, the unmatched FOOD, and the comforting vibe of the space! My husband and I went for Mother's Day and had some of our favorites: The South of the Border chorizo scramble, a Swedish pancake, and Millionaire's bacon! We also tried the Oscar benedict for the first time - the Dungeness crab, asparagus, spinach with wasabi hollandaise did not disappoint! 5 stars all around!!!

He anticipated what we needed without hovering and struck that perfect balance of professionalism and personality that makes you feel truly taken care of. Excellent food, a beautiful new dining room, and service that reminds you why hospitality matters. I'll absolutely be back, and hope to sit in David M.'s section again.

Solid Caesar with real anchovies, not overdressed. Roasted prime beef and verlasso salmon were incredibly tender but what really knocked it outta the park was the seasoning and veg sides - the ponzu braised cabbage under the salmon, the hen of the woods and potato puree under the beef. Didn't get the fried chicken this time but it's incredible. Burrata whipped potatoes haricot verts, chocolate cupcake, and Madelines were solid. Assume options off the event menu are better. The croutons a little stale in the salad and the cupcake frosting tasting artificial were my only notes.

Definitely skip this $7 item that you could get at a circle k for $1.50 and it would taste fresher. You order when you walk in and someone delivers your order and then you're left to fend for yourself. We were able to locate some ketchup for the potatoes on our own. Nobody ever checked on us. This is the second place on this visit that's charging an extra 5% fee so that their employees can have a living wage and health insurance, which absolutely, every employee should have. With the prices they charge, they should already be able to do that, though. I read an article about this fee with many different names and I would rather pay a bit higher of a price and know the employees were taken care of than be surprised by this fee later. Two sandwich breakfasts, a mocha and a danish on top of tax and their healthy sf fee was $63. Steep for the quality we got. Won't be back.

Loud, lively ambiance, warm from the open kitchen and gas lanterns lining the wall. Beautiful interior, with several tall trees in the center under the high peaked ceiling. Complimentary thin house tortilla chips and tasty slightly spicy roasted salsa. Delicious. Housemade tamale side was delicious, and I'd definitely get again. Esquites (street corn) was fresh off the cob which was nice, however it was in a soup of too much mayo--pass. Ceviche and octopus appetizers were delicious, and go well with the complimentary tortilla chips (I prefer thin over the thicker accompanying chips). Short rib was tender in a tasty mojo sauce and comes with warm tortillas so you can make your own little tacos. I still preferred the tamale though. Agua fresca good and horchata fresh, however definitely smaller than what you may be used to. Overall good visit. Will be back when we're in the mood for this type of Mexican food.

I've had it prepared this way at other Thai spots; it's not my preference. Service was kind, not intrusive.

I wasn't able to edit the reservation to reflect the change in number. We arrived at the restaurant at 12:17 PM and let our hostess know that we were now a party of 5. She was OK with that and asked us to give her time to set up the table to accommodate a member of our party who was in a wheelchair. There is a push button to operate the door should you require it. Our hostess brought us water with no ice I think because the members of our party were older which is what I would have asked for. I was ready with my order of Braised Pork Leg Rice and BKK Street Noodles with egg noodles in soup because I read fellow Yelpers reviews before choosing a restaurant and then the food. It was our 1st time patronizing the restaurant and my sister asked for the specialties of the house/recommendations with the qualifications that she did not eat spicy nor duck. The recommendation of Chicken Rice was a good one. My sister liked the tender chicken and the ginger rice. Brother-in-law asked about the juice available. The orange juice is not fresh squeezed. He decided to go instead with the iced Thai coffee and ordered Eggs Benedict. Dad wanted Mango Fried Rice with chicken and sister ordered another dish of Pad See Ew with pork. My sister forgot to order takeout and did so later in the meal. The kitchen was busy, but we did not mind waiting 15 minutes for Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. Presentation of food was good. Food had good flavor and was ample. Braised pork was tender as expected. BKK Street Noodles were a little spicy. Water glasses were refilled without being asked. Hostess checked a couple of times on everything going well. It's a calm environment to have a meal with nice music. Children in other parties were mindful of the atmosphere and were well behaved and kept their voices low. The hostess let us know she had to clear the table to get ready for the next customers so we tried to quickly vacate allowing her to rearrange the furniture.
