I have been to taste and glory twice and have experienced great service each time. We have been…read moreseated quickly during weekday hours and fortunately for us it begins to fill up after we arrive. Very cute and small dining area. I believe they have another section for larger groups, but I havent been to that side. The food itself is very good. I am not much of a breakfast person, but I was satisfied with my Sweet Croffle and my boyfriend enjoyed his Spicy Crispy Chicken. My cousin wasn't too impressed with the salad, so I would recommend trying something aside from salads if you are looking for flavorful items. The star of the show for me is a Mango Passion Fruit drink. It is so delicious! My boyfriend and I have to pace ourselves from chugging the entire thing before the food arrives. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for a nice brunch. I wish they stayed open later, but I will definitely return to try more of the menu.

Met some friends for brunch at Taste & Glory. I missed that they have a parking lot in the back,…read morebut it was easy enough to find street parking. You can tell they get very busy on weekends and they don't take weekend reservations. We got there around 10:30, and it did take a few minutes to get seated since we had a group of 5. I really enjoyed the Tom Yum scramble, but if I ordered it again, I'd ask for it without cheese since I didn't think the cheese really added anything to it. (I feel weird saying that since I love cheese!) The croissant that came with it was good. My friends liked the pancakes, the chicken croffle, and the udon. I got the house coffee which was fine, but folks seemed to enjoy the ube lattes (though said they were a little sweet). Service was very nice. I do think even with them being busy, I didn't get the sense they were trying to push us out the door when we were done. This is a cute place, lots of close tables though so not where I'd go for a quiet conversation.

Both times I've come I hadn't had to wait very long and our second time was with a large group including kids. Our server was great in helping us preorder before we could get seated and we only waited 15 minutes. We all ordered the same things: half of us ordered the original aburasoba and the other half ordered the homura aburasoba and the food came out quickly. They kindly gave us little bowls for the kiddos and forks and all the kids loved the noodles and the adults shared a large pitcher of beer. All in all, best aburasoba and one of my favorite spots in San Mateo!

Finally had a chance to try this San Mateo hotspot…read more My two friends ordered the best-seller homura aburasoba (spicy minced pork) and I had the unagi version. We also had the squid and gyoza appetizers. Food was well prepared and tasty, even if the service was harried and uneven. A few servers knocked into my friend and one even spilled on her while clearing dishes from the neighboring table. The staff also hovered as we were finishing our meal and asked several times if we were done/needed anything else and then less subtly if we could vacate the table. Also, we had placed ourselves on the Yelp waitlist instead of standing in the line outside and then were told when we went to check in that they don't use the Yelp waitlist, and that set us back a half hour. The food is great, but the logistics could use some work.

This is one of my favorite brunch places of all time. Easily top 3. Why? Not because they do…read moresomething revolutionary, but because they do all the basics basically to perfection! Fresh squeezed orange juice? Check...so good, always sweet and refreshing. Perfectly fluffy pancakes with the creamiest whipped butter? Check....I get them with blueberries and no added powdered sugar. Chef's kiss. Perfectly brewed diner coffee served HOT with a side of half and half? Check...can't tell you how many places can't get this basic right. Eggs and bacon cooked properly? Check Hashbrowns perfectly crisp on the outside and soft and buttery on the inside? Check I always leave feeling so satisfied and happy. Can't put a price on that. I also love their system of ordering first and then finding a seat. Very efficient and much appreciated. Also appreciate them keeping a nice and clean restaurant. No frills place, but very comfortable. Such a joy to keep coming back :)

Hubs ordered the SOB burger - full of flavor - pillowy soft bun, lots of bacon, and well seasoned patty.

Also, staff will not talk to you unless you have a notice that your table is ready. I remember we were seated upstairs and we had to carry our baby stroller.

My friend ordered the root beer float with cold brew ice cubes. It was not super heavy, it mixed well, and somehow, the root beer tasted great with the subtle but noticeable coffee flavor. For my drink, I got two shots of espresso. I just needed a quick pick me up! For food, my friend got the chicken tortilla soup. It was absolutely delicious. The shredded chicken and the broth were wonderful, I do wish it had less tortilla strips because they soaked up all the broth if left there for too long. I got the California bagel, which was also delicious. It was a little too much egg for my liking, but the bagel was only $12 which I think is decent for what I got. The Strawberry croissant was TO DIE FOR. I have never enjoyed a croissant as much as this one. Fresh strawberry cream inside, super fluffy and crispy croissant overall. LOVE! Not to mention the cafe is very chic, we sat at a table where we could maximize our sunlight exposure. The servers and cashiers were nice, welcoming, and helpful. So glad we came here!

Five star hands down. It's been a long time since I was impressed by a ramen/noodle place. We…read moreordered: Tokusei Tsukemen (Dipping Noodles), Karaage (Fried Chicken), Dashi Eggplant (6pcs), Kids Ramen, Kids Aburasoba. Karaage (Fried Chicken): 5/5. Crispy on the outside juicy and tender on the inside. Good portion for the price. Dashi Eggplant (6pcs): 2/5. I don't really get it... the menu says it's fried, and chef confirmed that it was fried for 40s, but I can't really taste any fried texture nor does it have the fried aroma. There's no batter. $5 is not a lot but we only got six tiny pieces of it so it wasn't good value either. This is the only item I didn't quite understand. Tokusei Tsukemen (Dipping Noodles): 5/5. Amazing. The dipping sauce is perfectly not too salty. Plenty of flavors. The touch of citrus exceeds expectations. Plenty of noodles. Good texture. The pork toppings are great too. Both are flavorful, tender, and well cooked (particularly impressive getting the chashu not dry). I took the dipping sauce to go afterwards. Kids Ramen: 5/5. Got a sneak peek of the ramen offering from this place. The soup base is very thick, very flavorful. Impressive. Kids Aburasoba: 5/5. Totally different experience. Loved it as well. Not too salty. Both kid's items were very generous. Service was great. We came in around 12pm on a Sunday and there's no line yet luckily. Would definitely revisit

I recommend ordering online because it's a literally a hole in the wall spot. There's no seating, so it's basically a grab and go type of place. I got the Suavecitto Burrito with Al Pastor and it made for a delicious meal. It's a pretty hefty burrito, so you'll definitely be stuffed if you eat it in one sitting. I also tried some of my friends' quesabirrias and they were pretty good as well. I would come back and maybe I'll try the 24K California Burrito if someone is willing to split it with me!
