Being an eggs benedict lover, I kept my expectations reasonable after reading a previous review. My expectations should have been Higher as this was The most delicious version of EB that I can remember. The eggs were cooked Perfectly the bacon was outstanding and the sauce was amazing. Mandarin oranges hidden in there? Nice touch. Crazy, Rich, Asian Benedict!!! ( I am only One of those three But you had me at "hello") I am also a saltaholic But no salt or pepper was needed. Had plenty on my "billionaire" Bloody Mary. Service was friendly and prompt. If you are near The Swamp, Highly Recommend! read more

HASS Kitchen - Crazy Rich Asian Benedict - New American Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Great little breakfast/brunch/lunch place next to the University of Florida. We ordered 3 of their most popular dishes all prepared to perfection, see pictures. This place is a gem in a sea of mediocre fast food chains. We maneuvered the creative menu thanks to our server, Steven, a charismatic guy with a genuine passion for this restaurant, its food and the Gainesville community. I will definitely be returning again. read more

Hass Kitchen was a complete letdown. We waited an hour for our food, even after checking in at the 30‑minute mark to make sure our order hadn't been lost. We were told it was "coming up," but it still took another half hour. At 40 minutes, we asked for it to be packed to‑go because we had to get back to the hospital.When the food finally arrived, the staff didn't offer so much as a sorry, a discount, or any attempt to make things right. For $60, the food was absolutely not worth it.Even worse, I noticed several health code issues, which I've already reported.This place needs serious management and sanitation improvements. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

Really cute spot - a bit bohemian and crunchy feeling. Limited parking available right behind if you're driving. It's not a big place. Seating is divided between indoor and outdoor patio. Order at the counter, get a number and then they will bring food out to you. Self serve water is available inside. We were there a busy day. Wait to order wasn't too bad and we found a table outside, but nobody was bussing any tables so basically customers sitting down were left clearing the dishes from the table of the people before them & wiping down the table. Nobody from the restaurant came out to help or apologize and it wasn't until dishes were almost toppling out of the bin that anyone took them away. Menu is pretty diverse - you can get some traditional items or more eclectic. We ordered the green goddess salad, croque mademoiselle (ham & cheese sandwich) on gluten free bread & okonomiyaki (japanese pancakes with cloud eggs). It took probably 30 min to get our food. The food presentation is really lovely & feels special when it's delivered. However, taste left something to be desired. The Japanese pancakes weren't good. The egg specifically looked really pretty all puffed up, but was so bad none of us were willing to have more than one bite. There were some other funky flavors going on there as well that detracted from enjoying it. The ham & cheese sandwich was okay, but the cheese is put on the outside, including a runny cheese, so it's a total mess to try and eat. Definitely do not order this one on a date! We ended up just eating the inside portion. It does come with a small green goddess type salad, which is nice. The entree green goddess appeared great when delivered. Loved the light, fresh dressing and ingredients. However, lots of the lettuce had sort of rotting tips, which made me worried to eat it especially since this isn't the cleanest place. Despite appreciating the quirkiness of the restaurant and the selection of fresh options they offer, we won't be returning. read more

The food was delicious! The flavors were super unique and the serving size was pretty big. I got the Crazy Rich Asians Benedict which was insanely unique and tasty. It was super, super filling, so definitely didn't need to order other things. We also ordered the Greek spreads, my favorite of which was the red beet hummus. The sourdough pieces it came with were seasoned well. One of the dips did have a piece either of plastic or glass that seems to have broken off that we removed. I ordered a dirty Thai tea as well. The drink was a bit grainy and I had to keep mixing it. Flavor wise, it tasted pretty good so I still enjoyed it but it wasn't as smooth as other times I've gotten the same drink at other places. The outdoor area is cute when the weather is nice, but the indoor did feel very cramped in case of days where the weather may not be as nice. read more

This restaurant is a little odd in the way it is set up, but I thought the food was really good. There is limited space in the restaurant so you can see the chefs in the cramped space running around to get orders done. There are also minimal tables to sit at, although the places gets very packed. The water is self-serve and you have to go up to order. However, they do bring the food out to you. At first they forgot the Avocado Fries included in my order but were quick to bring it out after asking about it. Although a little cramped, I think the food here is very good. It is a little expensive but I think the quality makes up for it. read more

I was excited to try this place out with my family but we will not be going back. They make you pay and tip them before you see what kind of service you are going to get or see if they are even nice or not. I definitely would not have tipped as much as I did if it was after I got my food and saw that they don't care if you like anything at all and are not helpful at all with anything . This place has a lot of things they need to improve on! They make you get your own water which is no big deal but their water tastes so disgusting! The food is very salty so you need a drink which means you have to pay for a drink because the water they give you (sorry the water they make you get yourself) is not drinkable. I told my son not to drink it because I didn't want him to get sick that's how bad it tastes. The table we were sitting at was covered in something stinky and gross. They do not clean here at all. They want you to tip them but do nothing for it. Not even smile. Very uncomfortable and unwelcoming feeling the entire time here. I went to the bathroom and the hand railings and plant in there had half an inch of dust on them. Would hate to take a deeper look at the kitchen. My son wanted ketchup with his tater tots and you have to get it yourself from inside. I grabbed the container it was in and could see dried crusty ketchup all over the top of it so who knows when it was cleaned last. I opened it and it smelled so bad! My son walked over and I had him smell it and he made throwing up sounds and walked away saying guess I'm not getting any ketchup that smells gross. I have never smelled ketchup that smelled so bad! It really makes me worry and hope we don't get sick from eating here. The parking lot was also covered in gross trash. Had high hopes and definitely left feeling grossed out and a lil nauseous. I don't think the other people liked their food or drinks either. You have to take your plates to a bin when you are done eating and I noticed a lot of food still on the plates that were in there. A couple sitting besides us left without putting their food or drinks in the bin and had full drinks left so I guess people don't really like their drinks that much either. I'm surprised this place is still open. read more

This place had a great atmosphere and I really liked the outside seating. Plus, you order inside and they bring it out to you so it's easy to meet friends to hangout. The ingredients were fresh, but I will say it was a little overpriced for what you get. The flavors were excellent in the mushroom toast and they were very beautifully plated. If you like afternoon, you will definitely like this place. read more

Looking for a decent brunch place on a Sunday we came across Hass. The menu looked great. Didn't mind the service where you order at the counter, get a number then find a place to sit to wait for your order to be brought out. We placed our order at 11:30. At 12:30 our food and drinks finally came out. An hour wait and the food (waffle chaat, and salmon avocado with egg) was cold!! Unacceptable. An hour wait for cold food and lattes?? We had high hopes. Very disappointing result. read more

Insane amount of food options/including vegan/vegetarian. Funny, super accommodating staff and service.

The food had great flavor. They've combined super interesting flavors that dance well together. I found the price & the value to be well matched too. We enjoyed our food & our strong* drinks! Only drawback is the seating. The inside is tiny & although there are picnic tables outside, the seating is tight & hot here in Florida. read more

I am shocked that this place is not busier! It doesn't have more than a few small tables, but if you're looking for great brunch with no wait, look no further! There's also free parking around the back, so don't use "no parking" as a reason not to come! The menu is fresh and avocado centered. Everything looks amazing, it was really hard to decide. The chefs cook in front of you, which is cool, and the staff are super friendly. I got the shakshuka and my friend got the chicken and waffles. Both were absolutely delicious. She really enjoyed her latte as well. Will have to return to try the rest of the menu! read more

Food was so good I had to personally thank the chef. The ambiance is nothing fancy but it is cute. The fried avocado was really good. We almost made the dastardly mistake of not ordering the French Toast. My friend dang near licked her plate, she ordered the Salmon Benedict. She said it was messy but that did not stop her from devouring every bite. We just got some extra napkins. I am 1000% sure I will be back. read more

Average spot for brunch near the UF campus. The menu has many options and a good variety of things to choose from. We ordered several things and thought the croque madam was the best thing we got. It had a nice combination of flavors in it. The steak and eggs were tasty as well, but the some pieces of the steak were very chewy. Furthermore, the TABLE sandwich was decent, but the bread was very soggy. The inside of the sandwich was tasty though. I thought the dishes were too oily as well. The interior of the restaurant was very cramped and not many seating options. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. read more

I've been seeing everyone posting pics from Hass kitchen all over my Instagram feed and the aesthetic of the food caught my eye so I needed to try it out. I came by with a friend for lunch on a Thursday afternoon and the place was super empty, we were the only two inside the entire hour we were there. The interior is cute and rustic-y decorated, but doesn't really have AC and there were a couple flies that kept bothering us. It's counter service, so we ordered with the girl at the counter and then they made the food and brought it out to us. We ordered the eggs benedict and shakshuka, both of which were super cute and aesthetic to look at. I did enjoy the shakshuka but felt like the eggs benedict was lacking flavor and got dull really quickly. While I enjoyed the brunch I just can't justify spending $18 on a small plate of food... read more

Came here for brunch with my friends and we really enjoyed it. We arrived around 12pm on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy. The location is nice if you live on campus but there is limited parking. Make sure you DO NOT park in the McDonald's across the street, you will get booted!! The restaurant is not very big and the ordering system is very easy. You simply order your food at the counter and they'll bring it out to you when it arrives. They will also give you silverware for you food after you order. This is nice because it allows you to choose your seating and makes the environment a lot more laid back. The interior is really cute and quaint. There are many aesthetic elements around the eatery and it provides for a fun dining experience. The service was fine, you do not interact with them too much due to the style of dining, but they were nice. The menu is quite diverse and has a lot of different fusion options to choose from. They have something for just about everyone and the food is really unique. I will note the prices are a little pricey...but the portions are decent size and the quality is very good. We started with the French toast sticks. They use their housemade vanilla-cinnamon brown sugar brioche bread and serve it with a Thai tea icing dipping sauce. They were served fresh off the griddle and were AMAZING. The sticks were so soft on the inside and the dipping sauce had just the right amount of sweetness, pairing perfectly with the brioche bread. I would highly recommend these as a starter/shareable. For my main, I ended up ordering the Shakshuka. It included spiced tomato, poached eggs, avocado-feta cream, herbs, cilantro, and warm sourdough. This was a really flavorful and hearty dish. The eggs were poached just right and the yolk was nice and runny. The avocado-feta cream was really tangy and worked well with the spice of the tomato. The sourdough bread was heavenly and I enjoyed dipping it into the dish. Really good and would also recommend. My friends ordered the egg toast, hash bowl, and the strawberry & citrus salad. They all enjoyed there dishes as well. Two of my friends made modifications to their hash bowls and they did confuse their orders. One ordered with over easy eggs and no avocado. She received a bowl with the avocado and sunny-side up eggs. While the other ordered the hash bowl with sausage instead of ham and sunny-side up eggs. She received a bowl with fully cooked eggs and no avocado. This was slightly inconvenient, but it wasn't a major problem. They also noted that some of the hash browns in the bowl were a little too salty and the bowl could have had fewer of them. Regardless, all our plates had lovely presentation and were quite flavorful! Overall, this was a tasty brunch! The location is great if you live near campus, but parking could be a challenge. The inside is super cute and makes for a great place to eat, both inside and out. There are aspects of the service that could be better, but overall it was decent. The menu is very diverse and has many savory and sweet options to choose from. I appreciated the unique menu and what it had to offer. The prices may be a little higher, but the quality is there and the portions are filling. This is a super fun eatery here in Gainesville, I cannot wait to return and explore more of the menu! read more

This is definitely a must-try! read more

First time to Gainesville, and I loved how the place was set up and the vibe. I always try to order something that I can't get anywhere else. So I went for the crazy Rich Asians Benedict. I'm giving it a 4, id order it again, I just wish the bacon was a little more on the savory side, and instead of 4 thick slices of toasted brioche, I think two slices would've sufficed. I did appreciate the spice element. I recommend it. read more

the worst part of our experience i'd say would have to be the service. we probably spent 3 hours at hass just waiting. it was definitely a rush, so i understand that it was gonna take awhile, but we weren't even waiting for the food as the food was sitting on the counter for about 45 mins until we went up and asked about our food. only then did they finally serve us. apart from that, the food was drenched in any seasoning and sauce possible, as well as very oily. the environment of the restaurant was also cramped with everyone hitting each other as they walked down the aisle. read more

A little "hole in the wall" holds the most AMAZING fusion food you can dream about! My daughter and I were looking for a unique brunch-y place that has healthier options and found Hass Kitchen. Imagine my surprise when I realized it is the same building that was a dive bar I worked at almost 40 years ago! It has come about 180 and now is a rustic, charming yet somewhat quirky restaurant. My daughter had the Egg toast and a s'more coffee with modifications. They wait staff was extremely accommodating and the drink was exactly as she wanted. Her meal was delicious. I got the Croque mademoiselle - so yummy (had to figure out how to eat it because the portions are huge) and we have plenty of leftovers. This place gets 2 thumbs up from us! read more

We are from out of state but wanted to find a place that has fresh ingredients. We were pleasantly surprised by the menu choices and GLUTEN FREE bread. Whoop whoop!

We could tell the ingredients were very fresh and every dish made to order. I am SO pleased with my food. Thank you!
