    I really, really love this place! The line was kinda long, but honestly that's expected from a place this good. The omelette kimchi rice was sooo good, and the service was great too. My only little thing was that the panda sweet tea was slightly too sweet for me, BUT omg the free refills make up for it. It's almost an hour drive for me and I would 100% do it again. Definitely worth the drive and the wait!

    Flavor of the Month Pecan Pancakes!
    Jonathan B.

    Fluffy cloud pancakes! I've never had cloud pancakes before, how interesting and fluffy! Other highlights are pork belly, just fatty goodness. Be sure to get there early, there's always a long line. Parking is plentiful, and service was perfect, thanks for the awesome brunch!

    Cloud Pancake
    Christina G.

    I had lunch at Take Ur Seat last Friday with my coworker, who treated me for my birthday. We were seated promptly upon arrival around 12:30 PM. I ordered the Belly 2 Belly Rice ($18), which was absolutely delicious. It came with roasted pork belly, a poached egg, sautéed spinach, onions, and rice, it's a perfect combination of flavors and textures. The Basque Cheesecake ($8.95) was rich, creamy, and so yummy. But the highlight for me was the Cloud Pancake! it was incredibly fluffy and delicious. This has officially become my favorite item here and is a must-try! The service was excellent! Our server was very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. After she learned it was my birthday, she surprised us with a complimentary pancake, which was such a thoughtful gesture and totally unexpected. I will definitely come back to try more dishes and would happily recommend Take Ur Seat to my friends!

    TUS Breakfast Sandwich
    Emily C.

    I hate to leave 3 stars for any place, especially for a place where it's not necessarily the service was the issue! I think if anything, it's more like a 3.5/5 My boyfriend and I came on a Monday around 11:20AM. I had joined the waitlist on yelp and checked in when we arrived. They offered to seat us outside, but it was kinda chilly that day so we opted to just wait for a seat to open up, which was about 10-15mins. Upon being seated, she informed us of their souffle pancake, which is what they were known for before leaving us to browse the menu. I was super excited to try it since this is all I've heard about this restaurant. We were kinda left there for a while before a gentleman came to take our order. We ordered the spam musubi, their seasonal strawberry cheesecake cloud souffle pancake, and TUS breakfast sandwich subbing fries for home fries, and a cup of orange juice. Orange juice: I love me a cup of freshly squeezed oj and not many places have them (typically it it tastes like bottled oj). BUT!!!! this oj as 100% freshly squeezed and it was soooo good. If you like freshly squeezed oj and crave that natural sweetness, this is a must. Spam musubi: very flavorful! I really liked the sauce they used for the inside it and it was a great way to start the meal. The downside is that the spam slice was pretty thin and the musubi itself did fall apart pretty easily, which made it very messy to eat. TUS breakfast sandwich: the sandwich had great flavor and was huge. My boyfriend really enjoyed it and found it to be very filling. I liked the home fries a lot, seasoned very well and so crispy. Strawberry cheesecake cloud pancake: I won't lie...I was kinda disappointed with this. It was a huge portion, which is good if you want to have your money's worth. The strawberry flavor was pretty subtle and it tasted more like strawberry pocky. The pancakes themselves were pretty dense and not as airy as I would prefer it though, so I was full after like 1.5 pieces. The cream on the pancakes was a good balance though so it wasn't too sweet. It also had cheesecake bits, which was good too. Overall, the food was just okay. I think if I were to come back, I'd probably get something else. As to why I had take away some stars, the wait for the pancakes were kinda insane. I think it was like 15 mins? and I wouldn't mind had I been told how long it would take, my bf was already halfway done with his meal by the time my order came. On top of that, another group of two that came in after us was able to get their orders and finish before the pancakes came out....which kinda made me feel like were forgotten, especially because no one came to update me. It was also kinda difficult to wave someone down since no one really walked by us. When we were ready to pay, we waited like ten minutes for the check to come out. Only after locking eyes with one of the servers did they finally come to tell us that they were working on the check and was running into issues. Again, another instance in which early communication would've been appreciated vs letting us just sit there and wonder what was going on. Don't get me wrong, they were very nice and accommodating (the table behind us had an antsy baby and they were able to accommodate them and moved them to a bigger table/space). However, the lack in communication about orders and issues did sour this experience. I hope that they're able to improve on that so customers can make informed decisions (such as not ordering the souffle pancakes if they're in a time crunch).

    Cloud pancake
    Maria L.

    This place seems to be always busy even on a Monday afternoon. The inside seating area is very small. We chose to be seated outside in their small patio since there is no wait for outside seating. We had their Berry Cloud pancake and Big Five breakfast. The berry cloud pancakes were soft and fluffy just as advertised. It is served with whipped cream, strawberries, blueberries and a side of fruit preserves. It is like a cross between an Asian sponge cake and pancake. It was delicious all by itself without the fruit preserves. The Big Five breakfast item was also good. I especially liked the Longanisa sausage. We also had an iced Americano and a hot Americano. Both coffee were no good. We did not liked the taste of their coffee. No amount of creamer can make it taste better. Their coffee was the worst part of our meal. We will not be ordering their coffee again. Overall service was good. Servers were friendly and attentive.

    Take Ur Seat is sooo good, but be ready for a wait cause we waited almost an hour! The food makes it worth it! The cloud pancakes were AMAZING, super fluffy & honestly worth the 30+ min wait alone. We also got the kimchi fried rice, which was packed with flavor and so satisfying! Menu is solid, everything we tried hit. Can't wait to come back! So cutest inside!

    French toast with a side of spam
    J G.

    Great food, amazing coffee, and spectacular service. My friend and I went off for a brunch date and we each ordered French toast with a side of spam. They have a variety of French toast flavors to choose from, but of course Nutella is my all time favorite. I had the Mexicana sidecar Latte, not too sweet! It was perfect, we wished they offered it in a bigger size! Unless they do and we missed it. Guess we have to come back and check for "research" ;) haha Thank you for the wonderful service. Everyone was so nice and attentive. We will definitely be back!

    Seasonal - Peach Pecan Crisp Pancake Flavor of the Month
    Sarah U.

    I have been wanting to go to this place for years after so many recommendations. This place definitely lives up to the hype! We did a girls brunch. I would recommend getting there before 9:55am on a Sunday. The lines really take off at 10am. It's a small space and no waitlist on the weekend from that we saw. The TUS sauce is fire! (Get the fries) The breakfast sandwich and Rendaang Curry Rice Bowl were also Fantastic! The G.O.A.T was alright. The drinks were fine but nothing that blew my mind. So excited to go back and try other items such as creme brûlée French toast. Almost forgot the Cloud Pancake was good but nothing my preference. The combo was great but the pancakes are just not me.

    Berry Good Cloud
    Hieu H.

    Tried a few dishes here and overall it was a really good experience. The place definitely leans into that trendy brunch vibe, but the food actually backs it up. Avocloudo Toast - 5/5 This was the highlight. The toast was perfectly crisp, avocado was fresh and creamy, and the egg on top tied everything together. Simple but done right, which is harder than it looks. Berry Cloud - 4.5/5 Super soft and fluffy, almost melts in your mouth. The cream and berries balanced it out nicely without being too sweet. Only thing is I wish there was a little more fruit, but still really enjoyable. TUS Breakfast Sandwich - 4/5 A solid, filling option. The bun was soft, everything tasted fresh, and the fries were well seasoned. Nothing overly unique, but definitely satisfying.

    I'm quite disappointed that I didn't have the experience I was hoping for. Quite a few people recommended this place to me. I wasn't feeling well enough to go to work, so I decided to buy some breakfast one day to eat something good and get some rest. I did a phone order and the person working that day convinced me to try their seasonal apple cloud cakes and I also got a pandan coffee. Drove over to pick up the food. I watched my order get packed and noticed the cashier asked the cook about some item in my order. Sure enough when I got home, no apples in my cakes at all and the coffee wasn't good. I decided to give them a call and a different employee than the one in person picked up. I shared that part of the order was missing and the coffee wasn't good. She went back and forth with another person and then told me next time I come in and order other stuff they will give me the apples for free. Next time? Lmao that was their initial offer... that I would get a side of apples with whatever I was going to order the next time I come in. I said no. Eventually someone else came on the phone and was willing to offer a full refund because both items I ordered were not up to par. That is probably the reason why I would give them another try, but I will dine in next time. However, they seem to be pretty busy so I would think twice about the wait. I appreciate the refund though.

    This was a solid brunch spot. The fries were pretty good, crispy, wished for more seasoning but the sauce was super duper fire. The pork belly was good too, nice mix of fatty and lean pieces. The crispy onions on top were probably the best part. Poached egg was decent too. Just a bit pricey for my liking but overall pretty good.

    Single Pandan Cloud Pancake [Flavor of the Month] Berry Good Cloud
    Dominique W.

    This is my go-to brunch spot in the Inland Empire and it never disappoints. I've been here many times, as well as their second location. The food, ambiance, and service are always consistently great. This visit I ordered the Belly 2 Belly Rice, the Berry Good Cloud Pancakes, and an order of their flavor of the month which was pandan. Everything was delicious as always.

    ,the very first thing I heard about chino hills was that Take Your Seat is the most popular brunch spot in the area haha So happy to find out they have a buy one, get one free bowl every Tuesday! I recommend the Take Your Seat Bowl, which comes with rice, egg, veggie, and your choice of protein. Very kid-friendly with a large outdoor patio and cute kid drinks like Milo Dinosaur.

    What kind of Filipino dish you serve?

    Longanisa Rice Bowl / Longsilog :)

    Do you accept reservation for party of 15 at Chino Hills location? Thank you!

    No. They don't take reservations at all ):

    Do you take reservations? How early should I call in? How busy does it get Fridays?

    They don't take reservations but wait time will be I guess just depends. Just this past Friday my friend was there at 8am. Party of two and they got in in 5 min. Good luck.

    I tried calling but it says your voicemail has not been activated? I am trying to place a catering order and was wondering how early I need to call as well as how much can a half tray feed? Thank you

    Hi there, our catering menu is available on our website at takeurseat.com ! Hope this helps

    Do they have gluten free options that are free from cross contamination?

    Hi Vicki, we have 'gluten-friendly' options such as 'The G.O.A.T.', which is our take on a vegetarian omelette. If you have an allergy to gluten, unfortunately our busy kitchen wouldn't be considered as 'gluten-free'.

    Did they open a second location? I saw a sign in Ontario by the Mills that read, Take UR Seat Too.

    Not yet it is under construction according to their Instagram page.

    Do I need reservation?

    We only accept reservations for parties of 10 guests or more after a non-refundable deposit. We encourage our guests to join our online waitlist on Yelp prior to their arrival to ease in-person wait time. Specifically for the weekend, we recommend… 

    We are planning to have lunch on Monday 10/11/21, Party of 8. What time would you recommend for us to come? Thank you

    Because it is a holiday for some on 10/11/21 they may be busier at lunch time. I'd recommend calling them to see how busy they've been and then have at least one person in your party there before noon to put your name down.… 

    Hello good afternoon do you take reservations?

    They have Yelp waitlist.

    Can you walk in now without a reservation? Indoor seating? What's the capacity? Thanks!

    Yes, you can walk and dine in and on the patio. The capacity inside looks to be around 40 - 50 max.

    There are no time available today, but can I still go check in, in person?

    Yes, you may need to wait a little longer, it's still early you should be able to be seated though.

    Are you dog friendly?

    Yes! They are allowed in their patio area.

    Is there inside dining available?

    Yes, we have indoor dining available but only at 20% occupancy! This means that even if you have a reservation, indoor seating will not be guaranteed.

    Is the homemade whipped made with pasteurized dairy?

    Yes! We use pasteurized dairy!

    Does this place have endless mimosas on Saturday's and Sundays?

    No, we do not serve mimosas or any alcohol. But we do serve amazing coffee!

    Are you open tomorrow for Labor Day?

    Yes we are open from 8-12!

    Can i get the matcha latte unsweetened?

    We Got You. We can definitely do that for u :)

    Are the dog friendly on the patio?

    Yes, well behaved dogs are allowed on the patio...

    Gluten free options?

    We have gluten friendly options but not gluten free since most of our food have soy sauce and our equipments are cross used with gluten.

    Can I order online?

    I think you have to do a phone order instead

Personally, living in SGV, there's way more options for the value point, so that factored in as well. However, I do have to say that service was good. Lots of smiles and it was inviting. It's popular with the community it's located in. We went on a week day night. Plenty of parking in the plaza. Good amount of other customers at table and counter bar seating. We got counter seating for 3 people. No wait. For our dinner, we got the: spicy miso tonkotsu, miso, and the sukiyaki broths, which were all decently solid. A bit light, but not too salty or dehydrating at the least. We all used sauce generously with our order, so maybe we should have sipped more soup or cooked more things in it longer? But we've never had this issue with other shabu places I've been to. For meats, we got the regular sized for all and had the angus beef chuck prime, beef toro, and lamb. Decent quality meat. Slices weren't too thin or too thick. Meat didn't cook and dry up immediately like worse places I've been to. All of our food came with a veggie plate and I will admit some of the lettuce/cabbage leaves weren't the cleanest or crispest so we didn't eat as much of the veggies as we'd like... We also ordered nigiri sushi on the side, which is just okay. Usually we wouldn't get something like that unless it came with the meal like an AYCE. Decent quality salmon, lots of rice and extra arbs on top of your meal though. Overall, it's okay.

One thing to keep in mind is that the bowls don't automatically include the salted egg, so you'll have to shell out a few extra dollars if you want that classic topping. While the meal itself was a hit, the logistics of the meal were a bit more frustrating. The service was fairly lackluster and felt mostly absent; we waited quite a while for attention, and the overall pace was very slow. It's the kind of place where you have to be proactive if you need a refill or the check. Additionally, the cleanliness of the restaurant is a major concern. Everything felt "sticky" from the tables to the floors and the bathrooms were definitely not well-maintained. It's hard to fully enjoy a premium-priced meal when the environment feels a bit neglected. On a brighter note, the location is very convenient. Since it's tucked into a large strip mall, parking is incredibly easy and stress-free, which isn't always the case in Chino Hills. If you are a "food first" person who doesn't mind a bit of grit and slow service, the ramen is worth a try, but the management could definitely step up the cleaning
