Having heard nothing but good things about this place, and hearing rave reviews from my friends that have gone home after eating, I figured I would give it a shot and see if it matched up to what I had heard. I didn't really know how long I would stay, but I was surprised at how good and fresh everything tasted. There weren't a lot of available tables, but since everything is made to order, we didn't wait long (10-15 minutes) before the food came. The eggs were fluffy; the toast was crispy and the potatoes were perfect (plus, they don't use too much salt). There was also a pot of coffee available h read more

Finally checked out TUR in West Portal and had a really fun brunch experience. The menu puts a Thai twist on brunch, with a lot of creative dishes that you don't normally see at other spots. I ordered the Karaage Waffle and Khao TUR. The Karaage Waffle was definitely my favorite. The crispy Japanese-style fried chicken with a crispy waffle and sauce. The sweet and savory combination worked really well, and the chicken had a great crunch. The Khao TUR was also really interesting. It came with five-spice pork belly char siu, garlic fried rice, soft scrambled eggs, and orange sauce. The pork belly was rich and flavorful, while the fried rice and eggs made the dish feel really hearty. Overall, I liked how creative the menu was without being overly complicated. Portions were generous, everything came out looking great, and there are still a bunch of things on the menu I want to try next time. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're looking for something different from the usual brunch options. 4/5 read more

Came here last Thursday afternoon. We were a party of 5 and were able to make a reservation online for within the hour. When we showed up, we checked in and were seated within a few minutes. My two kids and I shared the Thai banana pancakes and the karaage & waffles. Everything was beautifully presented. Our favorite bite were the bananas with their sweet caramelized crunch. The savory karaage was a welcomed contrast. My friends also enjoyed their dishes and drinks as well. A yummy splurgy lunch! read more

Echoing some of the other comments about service being extremely slow here, and in my case also inattentive. Visited at 12:20pm on a Saturday morning, got on the Yelp waitlist and took about 30 minutes to get seated. My friend ordered the Karaage & Waffle and Talay drink while I ordered the Pad Kra Pow Sandwich and Berry Shot drink. Surprisingly enjoyed the food because I haven't had luck with good Thai in the Bay Area (also tried Khao Tiew, their sister restaurant, and was not a fan). But the service made the visit a 2-3 star when it could have been higher. Multiple issues with service: I originally ordered the Pandan Latte with oat milk. My drink didn't come out for 15+ min and after I flagged someone down to check on my drink, the server proceeds to tell me they ran out of Pandan syrup and asked if I wanted to order something else. Why did no one tell me this until I had waited awhile and had to ask for an update? I then proceeded to order the Berry Shot with oat milk. Comes out much quicker but then after looking at my drink and taking a sip, I could tell this was whole milk. Flagged the server down again who forgot to tell me my original drink couldn't be made and asked her if my new drink was made with oat milk. She says yes. Comes back a couple minutes later and says then actually no, its whole milk. Takes it back to bring another one. My sandwich? Takes about 25-30 minutes to come out. Not sure why this took this long to come out. I understand they were busy, but the food at other tables after we sat down came out quicker, and my friends dish also came out much quicker than mine. Also side note: Not sure why this was marked as "spicy" on the menu? Literally has 0 spice. Lastly, no one checked on us the whole time we were seated. read more

Came here last Sunday at 10am and there was a 10 min wait..not bad. We got seated and looked around and i like the esthetic of the place..love the ceiling fans.. Lol. We ordered a few dishes to share. All the dishes were yummy with good portion size. The only complaint i had was some dishes came out luke warm (fried won ton, waffles), but other dishes nice and hot. Overall, i woukd come here again.. Nice service as well. read more

I went to Tur with a friend Saturday morning at 11am and waited 45 minutes to get seated. It was an additional 30 minutes for the food to arrive. I got the Curry Crab Sandwich and my friend got the shrimp toast waffle. The shrimp was bouncy crispy light and sweet. My curry sandwich was interestingly sweet and sour from the sauce and pickle. We've both never had anything like it. Definitely worth a visit to try some cool new foods. The ambiance near the windows was nice on a sunny day. However, I wish the paint was a different color because it seems a little dreary and florescent inside. read more

An amazing choice to get brunch. Tur is Khao Tiew's sister restaurant located in West Portal as well so you know we had to come here. We shared a small bite called Citrus Burrata Yum which consisted of Burrata cheese, seasonal citrus, toasted coconut, fresh mint, and Thai-style chili oil and fish sauce. You dipped it alongside with purple yam chips! It was so good. For drinks we got Not A Matcha which was house made pandan creamy iced milk drink, would recommend but wish it had more pandan cream! We got Khao's Tur which is a delectable dish with rice, kale, pickled cabbage & shallots, signature five-spice gravy, one sunny side up egg, and our protein choice of a Grilled Wagyu beef patty. No notes, all the flavors went so well together. Would get again. Our sweet choices were the Honey Comb French Toast and Passion Fruit & Mango Sticky Rice French Toast. Both were Shokupan French toast, the first had vanilla bean diplomat, candied honeycomb, pistachios, and pomegranate. The second had sweet sticky rice, coconut crumble, mango and passion fruit compote, and house-made coconut syrup. A sweet tooth's dream but also so perfect to share amongst everyone. Perfect textures and unique flavors that expanded so much more to regular french toast dishes. Service was great and unlike Khao Tiew you are able to make reservations! We came around 11am in person and waited around 30 min which isn't bad for a popular spot! It was an open space with a lot of natural lighting. read more

Six of us Thursday at 10am whereas I made a reservation via Yelp. Located where Squat & Gobble used to be in West Portal. Sister restaurant to Khao Tiew located 1 1/2 blocks away. Fortunately hubby & I were able to be seated before the entire party arrived. We started with beverages- he with a scarlet squeeze and me with a cocoa crush, both nonalcoholic. Pro tip: only nonalcoholic beverages available. Pros: * hubby's karaage & waffle very substantial. The chicken karaage was perfectly coated and marinated. * my passion fruit mango sticky rice French toast was very spongy. Plated nicely. I suggest you have a savory side with it as it was very sweet. Hubby & I shared our dishes. * advanced reservation via Yelp. Cons: * unable to linger once the six of us finished as the staff wanted to free up our table. * savory dishes - (1) Kai Moo & (1) Khao Tur, friends said good but salty and (1) tonkatsu sandwich sizzling - good but very messy. He ate it with fork and knife. The restaurant layout was as before. Tables lined up against the wall. Street parking & a parking lot around the corner & Muni Metro. Party of five or greater automatic 20% gratuity and no more than two credit cards allowed. I'd like to return and try some other items. read more

There are so many creative dishes at Tur and while they are delicious, some of them can be a bit overpowering if it's the only dish you have. I enjoyed coming with friends so that I could try a bit of everything! The shokupan here is amazing, and after trying the katsu sando, thai shrimp toast, honeycomb French toast, and mango sticky rice French toast, I think my favorite shokupan dish was the mango sticky rice French toast - it was a bit sweet but still really good. The jook really hit, even though it's one of the more traditional dishes. I personally liked the karaage one since the meat comes on the side and the jook is clean/pure. Kai moo Pork belly was a bit too sweet and too fatty for my liking. Duck duck meat was a bit dry but the bread pudding on the side was amazing! read more

I will preface this review that I struggled between giving a 3 star or 4 star but I'll explain more. Got here around 10:00 AM and the space was fairly empty. I saw that they removed some seating from the front so the restaurant space inside feels more airy than when Squat & Gobble occupied the space. Ordered the Kai Moo and the Karaage & Waffle to share between two people. The server asked if we were okay with some fattiness in the pork belly and we said it was fine. Food came out fairly quickly after our order. The pork belly was definitely fatty and delicious - texture was great! Scrambled egg tasted luxurious, silky smooth. The waffle came out nice and crispy on the outside but chewy in the middle. The sauce in the Karaage & waffle -- I could bottle up that sauce. Chicken was cooked perfectly. So with everything said and done - why the 3 stars? The whole time I was there, I definitely felt rushed. They were fairly persistent in getting us to order and clearing our table. My friend and I were unable to sit longer after our meals were done as we were asked to leave so they could turn over the table. I understand the need for staff to turn over tables quickly (especially on a weekend) because it means more revenue and reduction of wait times at the door. I'm sure that's also a reason why my friend and I were able to be quickly seated after arrival. I do think if your policy is to limit the time someone is spent at your restaurant, you should have it written in large font at the entrance or give guests a heads up as you seat them at their table so your customers know what to expect. I think not know that would happen made me feel a little embarrassed and also ended my experience at the restaurant on a slightly negative note. Overall, the two dishes I had were cooked perfectly and the flavors were delicious. read more

I know it's been open for only a couple of months now, but even on a weekday at around 1PM, business was buzzing. Casually walking by, I had no idea anyone took over the former Squat & Gobble space. I decided to give it a try for lunch before boarding the downtown MUNI train. It didn't take long for me to get a table along the banquette wall. I was sitting between two tables. To my left were two women having French toast and pancakes and on my right was a South Asian family who appeared to have ordered all the savory plates on the menu. Food was oriented toward brunch with a wide variety offered from Thai-inspired to pan-Asian fusion dishes. Since they had a section devoted to jook, I took advantage and ordered the $22 Jook with Karaage (Photo 9). The generous size of the two-part dish was a pleasant surprise. The Jook arrived in a good size bowl, a Thai-style version thicker than a bowl you could find easily in Chinatown. Enhanced with their own hot sauce, it was topped with crispy vermicelli, green onions, julienned ginger, and a poached egg (Photo 7). The half dozen pieces of chicken karaage were juicy and crispy (Photo 8). Both components were tasty though they worked just as well as separate orders. They don't offer standard soft drinks, so I ordered the refreshing $6 Arnold Palmer to wet my whistle (Photo 10). I had presumed the three-letter name was short for turtle given the logo I saw on their sign, but it turns out to be a Thai word that means 'You' it's used informally as a term of endearment for a friend. FOOD - 4 stars... ingredients and execution were very good, not quite sure if the jook and karaage were that compatible a match AMBIANCE - 4 stars...definitely buzzy, tables felt a bit crowded SERVICE - 3.5 stars..,polite but a bit off because of the hub activity TOTAL - 4 stars...the wide variety of brunch options definitely makes it worthy of a return visit RELATED - Exploring West Portal?

Best new brunch in West Portal goes to Tur!!! The Asian fusion dishes are so innovative, but I wouldn't expect anything less from the owners of Khao Tiew! My favorite dishes were the honey walnut shrimp & toast, mango sticky rice french toast, and the soft shell crab benedict. I've only been once, but can't wait to go again! Go early or on a weekday and the line shouldn't be too bad. read more

Based off of my own experiences here, I would rate Tur somewhere between 3.5 to 4 stars. This was actually my second time trying the food here and I am quite glad I gave them another try because the first time I went the experience was quite a bit underwhelming. I wanted to note that both times I went to Tur, the service after being seated is quite slow. They do get quite busy but it also does take them about 15 - 25 minutes to check up on you. To give a bit of a breakdown about the food, the first time I came here I tried their Pla Jook (fish congee) and Tonkatsu Jook (pork cutlet congee). More recently, I tried their more popular items, which are the Kai Moo (scrambled egg with pork chashu over toast), Karaage Jook (fried chicken congee), and Passionfruit & Mango Sticky Rice French Toast. So, Pla Jook is not something I would expect for foreigners to typically order. However, the reason why I wanted to try this dish is because I really enjoyed a similar but different dish called Khao Tom Pla (a rice soup with fish) when I visited Thailand. It is interesting that Tur uses grass fish for their Pla Jook. Steaming the fish gives it a bouncy almost cartilage like texture. Personally, I am more used to and much rather prefer fried grass fish, which gives the fish a more flaky and meatier texture. While steaming the fish is certainly healthier, I had a hard time finishing the dish. I would much have rather they steamed a flaky fish like snapper or fried the grass fish to offer texture contrast. I think it comes down to personal preference but I think I had expected more from the dish and was left underwhelmed with how it was prepared. The Tonkatsu Jook was better but the pork cutlet as a whole is a bit dry due to it being overcooked. It does help when you dip your cutlet in the congee to mask the dry texture. Moving onto their popular dishes, the Kai Moo is quite good. The scrambled eggs are light and fluffy and the slow cooked pork chashu is both fatty and juicy. The Karaage Jook is also more well cooked as they are smaller cuts of fried chicken. The Passionfruit & Mango Sticky Rice French Toast is quite tasty as well. I am personally not a huge fan of crust (again, personal preference) but the toast is overall quite fluffy and soft. It goes well with the sweet and ever so slightly tart passionfruit. I had wanted to wait before leaving an official review for Tur because my first impression of the food was quite poor. Overall, I think that if they make small improvements to their service and recipe, there will be a very visible difference. read more

Excited to get a new brunch spot in the West Portal area! My uncle mentioned he liked this spot, so had to check out! We came on July 4th weekend, so it was definitely busy. We put our name down on the yelp kiosk around 10AM and our wait was 35 mins. The hostess was strict if you full party wasn't there, you wouldn't be seated, which is fair. We ordered: - Pad Krapow Sandwich: Comes with spicy thai basil Wagyu beef, cucumbers, pickled shallots, cheese in a sandwich roll with sunny side egg on top. -Passion fruit & mango sticky rice french toast: Fresh toast with sweet sticky rice, mango and passion fruit compote! - Honey Walnut shrimp & waffle: Cripsy house-made shrimp cake, house-made waffle (We removed the walnuts and we substitude a banana stuff waffle), with wasabi mayo. Our favorite was the Honey Walnut shrimp & waffle! We really enjoyed the shrimp cake! It was super flavorful, but I think the regular waffle would have been better. The passion fruit & mango sticky rice french toast was delicious! Overall, I will definitely be coming back! read more

4.5 stars, rounded up! Pretty packed even on a Monday for lunch, but we were still seated quickly and food came out quite fast. Drinks The berry coffee was AMAZING, and I don't even like coffee. Perfectly balanced in terms of sweetness and tartness of the berries. Not a matcha - milk, topped with some kaya - I don't know about this one, I kind of feel like the pandan custard should have already been blended into the drink? The kaya was delicious, but definitely hard to stir into the milk, so it was kind of just milk with occasional delicious chunks of kaya jam. Probably wouldn't get again. Duck Duck - the duck was incredibly tender and juicy, and so flavorful. The bread pudding was fine, kind of whatever for me, but 5 stars for the duck alone. Tonkatsu sandwich - a fork and knife kind of sandwich! The cheese sauce that came with it was very reminiscent of diner gravy. Tonkatsu was juicy and well fried, dish was overall a little heavy but delicious. Definitely something I had to share with a partner, I couldn't have eaten the entire thing. read more

I wanted to enjoy this place because I loved Khao Tiew, but unfortunately it was a miss. I ordered the Honey Walnut Shrimp & Waffle, and it was just so... bland. The shrimp was lacking flavor, even with the sauce. The waffles were crispy, nothing special. The shrimp and the waffle together sounds good conceptually, but it didn't work for me. The staff is so nice and the service was amazing but my order just wasn't great. I may come back to try something else and give the place a second chance. read more

For such a long line on a Saturday morning, they move fast and get you seated promptly! For 3 people we split 2 main dishes and a small bite and it was still quite filling so don't worry about the portion sizes. Tur Wonton: Juicy and crispy! The sauce is a bit sweet but with a small spicy kick which went very well with it. I wouldn't say it's the best dumpling I've ever had but is a solid bite! Garden Benedict: This was pleasantly my favorite! The perfectly poached eggs with perfectly fried oyster mushrooms and crispy kale were a great combination! I loved the different textures and flavors they each brought! Passion Fruit & Mango Sticky Rice French Toast: If you get all the toppings and sauces in one bite, it can be too sweet but bites with just the passion fruit, toasted coconut, mango, and bread were so delicious! Blueberry latte: I think in hindsight, I would have ordered a pandan drink instead? The blueberry was unfortunately not very flavorful so it just felt like a regular latte but would love to try some of their other drinks. The restaurant can get loud, especially when packed, but I think is definitely still worth it and for the great food! read more

I visited TUR in its earlier stages, and each dish that my friend and I ordered ended up being unique compared to one another and delicious! The karaage and waffle had crispy karaage that paired together with a large, fluffy waffle. The passion fruit & mango sticky rice French toast was the most unique dessert, and the tropical fruit paired well with the sticky rice. The congee/jook that included tonkatsu was warm and comforting, but there was nothing too unique about this common soup dish. Still, it satisfied both of our hunger and was a great balance to our other two dishes. read more

Came here after learning that it was the sister restaurant of the hyped Khao Tiew. The wait on a Sunday wasn't too bad, around 20 minutes. The interior was marine aesthetic to go with the theme of "TUR-tles." I ordered the most popular items: satay steak and eggs, shrimp toast, and mango passion fruit sticky rice french toast. The satay steak and eggs (6/10) were good but the steak was dry and overcooked. The satay sauce was savory and sweet and went well with the shokupan and eggs. The shrimp toast was easily my favorite (8.5/10). The shrimp was cooked into the shokupan and topped with pickled red onions and cucumbers. Unfortunately, the one dish I looked forward to the most was disappointing. The mango passion fruit sticky rice french toast (4.5/10), was too sweet and the mango slices tasted like canned peaches as it was smothered in passion fruit syrup. The coconut syrup was light but I didn't use too much as the sweetness of the fruit syrup was overwhelming. I'd be interested in coming back if the wait time is under 20 mins and to try the Thai banana pancake. read more

Tur is spacious with plenty of seating and located along the busy street of West Portal, across from the muni station. I didn't have to wait long to be seated, and they have a big menu from congee to coffee. I ordered the Duck Duck which was super tasty, rich, and filling. From the whipped cream to the fresh fruits to the fatty duck, everything was super distinct but also paired well together. read more

Tur - Duck Duck - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

New Thai brunch spot in West Portal from the Khao Tiew team! They don't take reservations so be prepared to wait if you come during busy times. It's easier to be seated with a small party, larger parties will have to wait for a lot longer. We came on a weekend at 9:45 and waited 10min to be seated. Not bad but the wait got a lot longer as we were leaving. I got the blueberry latte which was pretty good! For food, we ordered the hed (mushroom jook), the passion fruit & mango sticky French toast and the softie Benedict. The standout dish was definitely the jook! It was flavorful and savory, I want to come back to try their other jooks. The French toast and the softie Benedict were solid but it didn't blow me away. The hot sauce they have on the table is delicious! It's not very spicy, there's a hint of heat but a ton of flavor. Overall a great new addition to the west portal food scene! read more

So far I've been to Tur twice for breakfast and it has not disappointed me yet. Atmosphere is nice, but seating can be a little cramped. Expect to sit literally side by side with others. Speaking of seating, they prefer if your whole party is there. They will sometimes take out their Yelp Waitlist if times get busy. Service overall is good. The person I had the first time felt like she was annoyed or trying to rush us out, but she was quick and made sure we had what we needed. The second time was great. The server was inviting, helpful, and kind. The food is cooked very well and the flavors are work together. The Kai Moo's pork was melt in your mouth. It was kind of bizzare that the server had to warn us that the pork belly was going to be fatty. It's sad that people would get something with pork belly and expect it to be lean. The Honey Walnut Shrimp and Waffle is such a genius creation. The mixture of sweet and savory works so well. I will warn that all the dishes I've had so far have been very rich and decently portioned. I highly recommend splitting dishes to taste everything and not just eat one specific dish. 2 main dishes split between 2 people was enough. I can not imagine getting a small bite or appetizer oln top of those even though I would eventually want to try them. I would like to continue to come back to Tur and try more dishes. read more

What a cute brunch spot in West Portal! They offer a great selection of classic American brunch items including sandwiches, waffles, toasts, egg Benedict... with Thai-inspired flavor. I really enjoyed their Kai Moo ($24) - a big piece of fried pork belly with scrambled egg on a sourdough toast. I was pleasantly surprised by the way they incorporated whipped feta on the egg. There is also jook (congee) on the menu - I'm a hardcore Cantonese congee fan so I skipped it, but some might enjoy it as the dish looks pretty damn good. Servers were friendly and efficient - they speak both Thai and English. I'll definitely come back to try other dishes. read more

Tur is a new Korean themed breakfast / brunch spot that opened up recently near the West Portal Muni Station. Came is on a Wednesday morning and surprisingly, the place was packed. Don't people have to work these days?! Luckily, we got the final empty table before folks behind us had to put their name on the wait list. The interior decoration is a little like a beach vibe. They offer a variety of Thai style congee (hook) options but today we tried the Garden Benedict and Karaage and Waffles. The Garden Benedict came with crispy oysters mushrooms and kale which were an interesting twist to your traditional vegetable Benedict with stir fried mushrooms and spinach. Actually enjoyed the crispy vegetables but they were kind of cold so probably not made to order. The eggs were properly poached and the hollandaise sauce was decent not spectacular. The Karaage and waffles were also an interesting twist to your traditional fried chicken and waffles. The Karaage came out hot and crispy with decent portion. The Karaage itself was juicy and tasty. Overall, decent food with good vibes at this new brunch spot. read more

Yum! Came here for brunch on a Saturday afternoon & got on the waitlist for two. We waited about 30 mins outside, but we took a little stroll to check out some of the other shops down the street. We were seated & waited a few minutes until we waved down a server to place our order. Agree with some of the reviews about slow service. Our drinks took long to arrive & they didn't let us know they were out of Pandan until we waved down a server to ask if our drinks were still coming. My friend also asked for non-dairy milk & was given dairy milk in her drink. I really enjoyed my drink, I had the Talay which was butterfly pea tea. They have a great selection of drinks, I love that there are unique combinations I don't normally see. I ordered the Karaage & Waffles which were so delicious & flavor, I also appreciated that it arrived piping hot. I really liked the sauce, my friend said it was like an Asian Chic-fila sauce. My friend ordered the Pad Kra Pow Sandwich, which she really enjoyed as well. Both huge portions which is always a plus. We both agreed that we would come back again! Service is pretty slow, it seems like you have to get someone's attention most of the time. Food seems to also arrive as ready, so everyone will not receive their items at the same time. The decor is super cute, nautical sea theme. There are two floors, we sat on the first floor so didn't see the second. Overall, a great food experience & ok service experience. Can't wait to come back! read more

Worth the hype! I've been here 2x now and both times have been awesome. Really great unique food and amazing customer service. I loved the mango sticky rice French toast and the unique "jook" porridge options on their menu. I've gotten the tom yum and the mushroom one, both savory and comforting. Parking can be a challenge since it's right next to the Muni West Portal transit tunnel but there are residential spots if you are willing to walk a few blocks. There can be a bit of a wait especially on the weekends!! No reservations and they close early so check out their hours and plan accordingly. With that said, it's such a unique spot for brunch and I can't wait to go back! read more

A new take on fusion brunch! Dropped by for brunch ~10:30am. The Yelp waitlist can only be joined in person, so plan accordingly. The wait wasn't bad as there was only 12 parties ahead of us. After ~30min wait, we were seated, but the waitlist expanded to ~25+ parties by the time we got seated. What we got: - Duck duck ~ The bacon croissant pudding was addicting! A mix of savory, sweet, and eggy, this item was something I kept stealing from someone's plate. The duck leg was decent, but the orange sauce that was warmly spiced overpowered the dish. By the end of the dish, the sauce was too sweet. - Tonkatsu Sandwich Sizzling ~ A new take on a tonkatsu sando. Fluffy bread with crispy juicy pork cutlet paired well with the sauce on the sizzling plate. Kept warm pretty well as we waited for other items! - Softie Benedict ~ aesthetically plated. Two fried soft shell crabs flanked my benedict and provided the dish with a crunch. The Nam Prik Pao aioli with the onions and celery offset the heaviness of the hollandaise sauce and poached egg. Shokupan was a great soft fluffy base for benedict. All in all a decent and refreshing brunch menu with more Asian flavors intertwining the dishes! Would return to try other items on the menu! read more

Another great addition to West Portal! Breakfast with an Asian flair is the name of the game here. I ordered the Softie Benedict--a soft-shell crab fried to a crispy exterior, served on an extra-thick slice of shokupan (Japanese milk bread) with curry-topped hollandaise sauce and a side of greens. I loved everything about it. The contrasting textures and flavors made it feel like a well-balanced meal. Not my order, but I did sneak a couple of bites of the Satay and Eggs. This dish is essentially an Asian take on steak and eggs. It features steak-cut beef with satay sauce and eggs on shokupan toast, served with a side of greens. It instantly transported me back to the streets of Singapore, where I had my first authentic taste of satay skewers. The sauce was divine and about as authentic as you can get on this side of the world. If I were to nitpick, the beef could have been a bit more tender. I also tried the Not A Matcha drink because I'm a fan of pandan. The pandan flavor tasted natural--I'm not sure whether it was made from fresh pandan, but it definitely didn't have the taste of the powdered versions. It was subtle, though; I would have liked it a little stronger, but that's just personal preference. Overall, Tur got me excited about its menu. I'll be back sooner rather than later. read more

I am not usually a brunch person, but I was really pleased with my experience at Tur because of their variety of savory dishes that trend towards lunchy-ness. We got to Tur around 10:30 am on Sunday, there were 13 parties ahead of us and we waited about 45 minutes before we were seated, which was reasonable. The restaurant is pretty big and has upstairs seating so there was a constant flow of folks leaving and being seated. Service was friendly and we received our food shortly after ordering but the dishes came out one by one so there was a little bit of waiting while everyone's food got to the table. Here's what we ordered: - Softie Scramble (4.5/5): this was my favorite dish but I might be biased because I love soft shell crab! The toast was fluffy and soaked up all the egg yolk and hollandaise. The sauce was tangier than expected and didn't really taste like curry but it still paired well with the perfectly crispy crab! - Walnut Shrimp Waffle (4/5): this was also delicious and my second fav! A little bit of a smaller portion but the shrimp toast is so flavorful and the waffle was nice and crispy. The wasabi flavor was a little confusing to us though. - Pad Kra Pow Sandwich (3.8/5): I really liked the basil flavor of the sandwich and the bread was so soft but I was a little thrown off by the paste-y texture of the beef. - Caribbean Pasta (3.5/5): the seafood and pasta was cooked well and it has a little kick! We were just expecting a little more flavor in the dish. Overall a good experience and I would want to come back to try other dishes and maybe some of their sweets! Street parking was fairly easy to find around the corner on Claremont St. read more

Finally got to try Tur with the girlies and it did not disappoint. We showed up around 11 on a wednesday without a rezzy and were lucky to get a table right away-- by the time we started eating there were quite a few parties waiting. We tried the softie (soft shell crab) benedict, the satay and egg with added potatoes, tom yum jook, and the passion fruit mango sticky rice french toast. The tom yum jook really stood out to me and the satay and egg dish was so flavorful. The crispy potatoes were cooked to perfection and i loved that they also had purple potatoes. The softie benedict was good but wouldn't need to order that again. The french toast was a nice treat and not overly sweet, my only complaint was that the crumb toppings were super hard i was afraid i'd chip a tooth. read more

Loved the turtle sea themed of the restaurant interior and ceramics. Waited about 40 minutes around noon on a Saturday. My friends and I were excited to try Tur for the first time. The menu had many dishes I've never seen before. Honey walnut shrimp was good texture. Passion fruit sticky rice toast was on the sweet side, a bit too sweet for my liking but the purple rice was yummy. read more

We waited on a Friday during their early opening and we did enjoy the food! We waited about 20 minutes on a Friday afternoon. We tried the garden Benedict 7/10 which was just a little bit too plain for us. The mushrooms that were fried were really crispy and tasty! but the kale was overly fried and it was just a huge bite of oil. The avocado toast was average. Also tried the pork belly over toast 8/10 which was super rich. The pork belly was very fatty but still tasty. Our favorite dish read more

Unique twist to brunch, using Thai flavors. Everything was delicious and the best part was... no wait when we came on a Wednesday morning. My favorite was the shrimp waffle. It had a new perspective to the more common chicken and waffle. Their jook (porridge) was a calmer choice if you're looking for a lighter option. read more

My friend and I ordered the Softie Benedict, Karaage Jook and the Passionfruit Mango Sticky Rice French Toast. The portions were generous and great for sharing. There were two soft shell crabs and two perfectly cooked eggs in the Benedict. The jook was very tasty and plenty of karaage to go around. The French toast was thick and the passion fruit mango with the creamy coconut syrup was a nice brunch "dessert". Sweet but not in a sickening way. We had enough jook, karaage and French toast to bring home for another meal! The service was excellent. The wait staff was friendly, patient and answered all our questions. We wanted to share and she made great suggestions for which dishes are good for sharing and they brought us extra plates and bowls! The restaurant is bright and spacious - they kept the same layout as Squat and Gobble but the decor is more beachy feeling. This would be a great place to come with friends to catch up and hang out. It gets busy though! read more

We came to Tur after realizing they were finally open. We were fortunate to get one of the last seatings of the day after a 30 minute wait and overall, everything we had was really good! Starting with the drinks, I really enjoyed my berry coffee. I especially liked the fresh blueberry puree at the bottom of my coffee but my favorite drink of the three that we had ordered was the butterfly pea tea latte. The not a matcha latte was also good but it was a little too rich and creamy for me if I were to have the whole thing. For food, the pad krapow sandwich came first and the flavors were bold and worked well! I especially enjoyed the spice, the creaminess from the yolk, and the burst of freshness from the Thai basil. Personally the only way this could have been better was if the baguette was crisp. Next up was the kai moo which was super savory and tender. There were also a lot of different elements playing with spice, creaminess, and acidity which really elevated this "ham and eggs" experience, if you will. The final dish of our experience was the passionfruit mango sticky rice french toast which was so good! It was super fluffy but the mango and passionfruit took it to the next level with its sweetness and brightness! The bit of purple sticky rice was also a fun addition! All in all, I would absolutely come back! I would have loved to try the soft shell crab bennie but we were advised that they only do 20 orders a day and it was easily sold out very quickly. I guess we'll need to come at 8am and not 1:15pm next time lol. read more
