Small establishment with minimal parking in the front but you can find more parking in the back. Cute cafe offering a variety of things from traditional American classics to Korean bulgogi breakfast burritos, bulgogi eggs Benedict, and so many more options depending on your craving. I'm an eggs Benedict girl so I immediately decided on that and my partner went with the loco moco. Both were delicious! We both had way too much coffee as they continously come around offering refill upon refill. Overall we both enjoyed our meal and definitely reccomend you to give it a try! read more

Quick take: didn't like the food I was in the area for an appointment. Decided to go to Vivi's Cafe to try it out. The two women working in the restaurant were very nice. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich with fries. The sandwich didn't really have much flavor. I attacked the meat with tons of ketchup. The fries didn't taste good at all. Something about the oil tasted funny. Sad to say I will not be ordering the same thing again. read more

We needed to fuel up for our 34 mile ultra hike. I ordered the CA omelet which has eggs, chicken, and avocado. I packed up leftovers for the trail and it kept me satiated through the whole day. My friend had the fried rice and he said it was good. Free fruit dessert. We sat at the counter and saw all the kitchen action. Cozy interior space and good parking. We were the first ones in the parking lot waiting do them to open. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Vivi's Cafe is such a great breakfast spot. I ordered a breakfast sandwich on a croissant and it was absolutely delicious. The croissant was soft and buttery, the cheese was perfectly melted, and the bacon was super crispy, easily some of the best bacon I've had. The server was super friendly! Everything tasted fresh and made with care. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu. read more

The place is a nice walk from my house, so I dropped in.... And it was delicious. Fast and friendly service, fresh squeezed orange juice, perfect blueberry pancakes, and juicy sausage. And in the end, no pressure to leave... just coffee refills and a nice surprise treat! read more

Vivi's is my favorite place for brunch in the Palm Park area. Their kimchi bulgogi burrito, though it has gotten a little more expensive, is top of the line. It's a rich choice for breakfast, but it's packed with kimchi and the rice they used is packed with umami. Love it. Service is always friendly and fast. It's a family establishment with plentiful seating, though I usually get takeout. Even so, after you order, the owners ALWAYS bring you a few pieces of fruit to enjoy while you wait. Always. It's usually grapes, strawberries, or orange slices. Cute touch. Parking is challenging here, but if you can swing a short walk from the neighboring residential streets, the bulgogi burrito is worth it :) read more

Place was decent albeit lacking a bit in flavor on their Korean style items. Skip bulgogi burrito

Came here on a Wednesday morning right after landing at SFO... I'm so happy I found Vivi's cafe on yelp! I came in and it was mellow, really relaxing environment for a Wednesday morning. I was the only one inside. The coffee and food... FXCKING AMAZING! I got a corned beef hash Benedict with hash browns... the presentation was beautiful. But the most important thing that stood out was the sweet and kind service! Can't wait to be back! read more

We wanted to try a new breakfast place with my family, so we landed at this place to check them out. The place was not busy so we said let's do it. The place is clean, menu looks good but we did wait about an hour to get our food I'm not sure why. When we finally got our food it was a bit dry and on the burnt side. Our toast came later when we were almost done. We had to wait another long time to get our bill so we just stood up and paid at the front. We ordered an omelette 16$, steak and eggs 27$ (says New York but we got a T-bone steak...asked for medium on the steak and it was a step above well done.) and a seat of pancakes about 12$ plus 3 drinks. Our bill was 93$ not sure why but we just paid and wanted to leave tbh I would recommend since the ladies there are nice but personally we Will not come back read more

So happy to have finally tried Vivi's cafe with the fam! Friendly service and lots of great brunch options to choose from. The kids had burgers (the fries were so delish), I had the Cali Eggs Benedict (also delish), and the hubby had a regular breakfast. The meal was simple yet the service really stands apart from other places. Thoughtful gestures like the lady quietly bringing a little paper cup for my son's gum ball that he'd allowed to roll around the table! Or the cool food shapes erasers both kids received at the end of the meal. None of this was necessary but made it a special experience. If you can make it, I highly recommend this cafe. read more

This is quite a find for me, being a breakfast guy and all. This family-rub place appears to do all of the breakfast standards well, but we wavered toward the Breakfast Fried Rice and the Bulgogi Benedict. The Breakfast Fried Rice was nice and crispy (sort of like you would have in a heated stone bowl), with and egg. It was a really nice dish. The Bulgogi had great flavor and was nice with the poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. This place has regulars (seems like everyone else was a regular) but does not suffer from being too crowded, even on a Saturday. Definitely a find. read more

I'm not around here. Just dropping off my cat for spaying. And then found this place on yelp. We came around 8am. The owner was welcoming. The menu is easy to read. There's even some pictures of food on the wall. The owner even gave us wifi because the network in that area kinda slow. About the food, my sister love her steak. I got Omurice. Was different from what I know. But it really yummy. I recommend. If you like the mix of American and Asian breakfast & Lunch. This is the place ‍ read more

What a fantastic find and worth a visit! The ambiance is simple, very clean and incredibly friendly. The food is amazing we all had completely different dishes from pancakes to lunch to Bulgogi, all so impressive. Our meal was topped off with complimentary watermelon and grape dessert, what a wonderful touch. I haven't seen this special kind of service in the bay at a cafe. Excellent food and service! read more

What a delicious find! The two ladies could not be more welcoming and friendly. Haphazardly found this delightful cafe. The Korean Ramen Noodles are flavorful and hearty. Loved the wedge salad and appreciated it was chopped. Plentiful portions, attentive and reasonable priced. The fresh fruit and cookies was enough for me to make this a must stop when in Redwood City. Very generous menu. read more

Great service, extremely generous and courteous. Very friendly, great Drestablishment.

Adorable place, this diner made me feel like I was walking into someone's dream that had been realized. It was a rainy morning, which made the place feel even cozier inside. We arrived at 8:30ish on a Saturday to the place empty save one customer. I was worried they may not get enough business. But as we ate, people started to trickle in! Turns out we were just early birds. The staff is super friendly. The coffee was hot and fresh. The hash browns crispy on the outside while soft on the inside. They made a mean corned beef. At the end of the meal they presented us with a little piece of fruit with our check, which was a sweet surprised and very endearing. We will be returning to try their Korean food. We were intrigued by the burrito with kimchi in it. read more

This is the best place for good food and friendly people. I had the kimchi and was an out of this world. Thor orange juice is super good! I'd like to recommend Vivís cafe. You won't be disappointed. read more

Food was amazing and so was the customer service! If I could give this place 10 stars I would!! First time here and I will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu. Love that this bfast spot serves Korean brunch fusion as well as traditional American brunch. There are pictures on the wall of the food from the menu. This place offers so many unique items. I love their house made hot sauce. I wish they sold it because it is so good - sweet and hot at the same time and it goes with everything! Their hot chocolate comes with Oreos! That is a first and I love that. Complementary watermelon cubes! Thank you!! My all time fave is that this place offers so many options and can make kid pancakes in shapes of animals. So fun!!! Must come here and try it all! read more

Absolutely amazing cafe! Delicious breakfast and tasty Korean food. The best kimchi I have ever had! Had to get an entire to go order to bring home! The service was fantastic - Vivi made me the animal pancakes "just to make you happy!" Which it very much did, more than the regular pancakes I ordered, which were fantastic! Lots of good coffee. Great vibe in the space. Will drive up from the South Bay just to come here again! read more

Vivi's is my breakfast place to go, even though I am 12 miles away. She and her mother are delightful, always positive and smiling, with great service and great food. My favorite is the oatmeal, which has every healthy topping. And there's always a little extra at the end, like a small cup of fruit. Check it out! read more

Vivis, on Avendia de Los Arboles. They changed the name(not sure why, Jinkys was pretty catchy)but forgot to change the name on the menus. Reading the menu-I deduced it was still the same. The tables are sticky and from the looks of it, the only that changed was their prices. They're trying to compete with bigger name restaurants(Lazy Dog, Red Robin, Cheesecake Factory)but if they want to charge those prices, they're going to have to revamp the food quality and decor. The owner needs to go to one of the above mentioned restaurants and order a burger, and sandwich, then go back to his own and compare. That's the only way he'll understand the bad reviews he's been getting. The atmosphere was dreary, 6 guests during a lunch service and that included us. read more

My favorite place for breakfast. I usually get the Italian scramble. Always very tasty. Closed on Tuesday read more

The best breakfast place around! I've been coming to Vivi's for over 3 years now and it never fails to be a wonderful experience! The food is always fresh and the customer service is incredible. Vivi the owner is so kind and truly cares about the food quality and atmosphere. I recommend calling ahead of time to order if you are dining in or getting takeout, as Vivi can be quite busy. read more

The kimchi burritos are amazing!!! Great family place here, great people! Always come here when I'm running to 280 on Woodside.

I called in to place an order to be picked up. The lady on the phone was so patient and continued to repeat herself without getting frustrated because I couldn't understand what she was asking. Their time estimate for 6 bacon burritos was accurate and I only had to wait ~5 minutes from when I arrived. The lady (I'm assuming Vivi?) gave me some fruit while I was waiting. The gesture was completely unexpected and I really appreciated it. Though the bacon burritos are a bit pricy ($13.50) and even more expensive on DoorDash ($17), everyone that tried these agreed that it's worth it as a treat every so often. The burritos are always flavorful and we are always so excited to have them. They have the perfect amount of sauce/cream so the burrito isn't dry. I'm not typically a fan of breakfast food, but I would come running at the thought of their Bacon Burrito. read more

This is such a wonderful neighborhood diner - the owner is super friendly and remembers and appreciates her customers. I would say it is an exceptionally clean place and I know the owner is very careful with food safety. Delicious food and they will go out of their way to make things the way you want. The kimchi is so delicious!! It's so hard to find little community places like this since the pandemic killed them all off - I am happy they are here! read more

Very pleasant service and atmosphere. Parking available in lot or side streets. I ordered one thing, it was delicious and cooked according to my specifications. The staff were incredibly kind to a group of six that came in with three kids and as I left more people came in with kids and were greeted with exuberance toward each child, very sweet Staff wear masks, extremely pleasant. Restroom required key, very clean. Good variety of choices on the menu. If I'd been here often, I would easily give it five stars. This was my first time. read more

I normally order country fried steak from my favorite restaurant bills cafe, but they were closed so I ordered from here. There are so many problems for $20 that it's unbelievable... - completely burnt country fried steak for $20 - tiny portion size to begin with - hash browns are barely cooked but drench with oil - they attempted to cover up the country fried steak with gravy... Truly despicable read more

We were very excited to see all the pictures that this place looks like has something special to offer. We ordered Cup Bap which like poke, half half of vegetables and rice and bulgogi. On the top of the base $12.5 we add cucumber $1, sea weed $1 which is not the green sea weed we got from the poke, but tiny pinch of aged, yellow dry one like expired for long time. Kimichi $2. Egg $1. Total of $17.5 which is large poke price. However it comes with very tiny unappealing plastic bowl of things like 1/3 portion of regular Poke, very disappointed! We also ordered French toast, full size with fruit +$2. Size decent but is the worse taste French toast of all! Don't know why this place got such high rating, maybe we just bad luck ordered two worse things. But I don't see any post mentioned the Cup Bap. read more

Great food and service was very attentive. A friendly and inviting atmosphere. Will come back again in the near future.

Happened upon this great little establishment after moving our daughter to Redwood City. We sat at the counter. The crew was on the go at all times. Sharing cooking and serving. We had breakfast but can't wait to go back to see what they offer for lunch. You could tell it is a local favorite! Well done read more

The food there is fine, just what you would expect from a typical brunch place. Waiting time for our food was ~20 mins and we were the second table there. But they don't come with fruits as shown on the menu. You have to order fruits. When I asked the server about the misleading photos, the reply I got was "the photo doesn't represent what you will actually get". Hmmm....nowhere on the menu says pictures are for illustration purpose only... read more

I can't believe we missed this opportunity for years. So far we have been 3 times for breakfast (thanks to PG&E). Two ladies running the place are delightful and welcoming. The place is strip mall simple but the decor is a pleasant surprise; cheerful, colorful and ton's and tons of pictures, of what I have to guess, are local patrons. 9 years successful! Really good coffee (bottomless cup), and tasty waffles, omelettes and bacon so far. And last but not least, no rush. Oh and a small fresh sweet fruit closer for all. Nice touch, nice people.
