    This is the cutest little restaurant in carp. The service was so fast, and the food was great. We got French toast with bacon and eggs, and a breakfast melt and both came out writhing 10 minutes and totally hit the spot. I'll be visiting carpinteria again very soon just for brunch at this place. Our server was so sweet and helpful.

    We had a great brunch here!! My Husband had the loco moco. The flavors and meat were delicious. I had the Ruben and loved it. Service was perfect. Everyone was very helpful. The menu is full of so many surprises besides breakfast. Next time I want the chicken noodle stir fry!!! They do serve beer and mimosas. We will be back next time we pass through.

    I wanted to go to the Chinese place Nextdoor, but it was closed. So I tried Hugo's. I'm pretty sure my food was unfortunately from frozen, and it tasted like it. My food took a while as well, service wise. I don't think I will be returning.

    Tri-tip sandwich with fruit and miso soup. Neat and fruit and soup was great, bread was flimsy and fell apart while you ate it.

    My wife and I were in Carpinteria for 2 1/2 weeks and we got off the bus from LAX at Albertson's and headed across the street to Hugo's for some nourishment about 10 AM. Noon in Minneapolis. We sat down at one of the booths and I really wanted a draft beer. OK, no. I really wanted a Diet Coke from a dispenser. Nope. $8 for a beer and $3.50 for a can of soda. Water please. This was insanity. I ordered the tri-tip with fruit and my wife got the miso soup. It came out in about 8-10 minutes. We only had our water refilled once, and we had to ask. The place is Asian-fusian, so he tri-tip was like teriyaki and it was amazing. unfortunately, they don't toast the roll they put it on, so it really isn't a sandwich. There is no way you could eat this like a grilled cheese sandwich. It becomes almost comical, if not frustrating that you cannot get a bite of bread and meat and tomato in one swallow. I should give three stars, but the fruit was beautiful and the miso soup was tasty always and the meat was amazing. I almost wish they would just have an option of just the meat over cauliflower rice. Maybe they do and I did not see. The bread was a major let down. I would never go again, but people seemed to be enjoying their breakfast.

    Hugo's was amazing. The food was delicious and it has the most welcoming vibe. I ordered the french toast and I loved it- It was thick and buttery. The owners are the sweetest and the service was great. I would definitely come back here.

    Service with a smile and good food to boot. It was relatively quiet I came in at around 10 am. Their smile comes across as genuinely happy for you to be there. I got a basic 2 sausage, egg,pancake order and the sausage was genuinely bursting with flavor eggs were yummy and pancakes were solid. In the middle of my breakfast a patron was leaving and the owners says see you tomorrow thank you. And I completely understand why someone would have such loyal customers. I highly recommend you come sit down and eat here if you can

    We passed by on the way to SF and decide to eat breakfast on the way .Found this amazing breakfast cafe right by the highway. This is a family run business and they really take care their restaurant and customer! Thank you so much for the amazing food and service! We enjoy so much especially the giant French Toast, this is the Hong Kong style French toast which is extra large, thick and fluffy! Highly recommended!

    $14.50...money not well spent.

    $14.50...eggs ordered over medium came over hard, country potatoes ordered but got oily hashbrowns, three greasy sausage links, toast and zero follow up from the server. This place used to have ok food at a good value. Sorry but truth is, I will not return.

    Breakfast burrito
    Johnny Goodboy T.

    Breakfast burrito came with extra hashbrowns, need i say more? Plus the waitress was really nice and fast service

    Great vibe inside

    Hugo's is a must, so so so good! Great food and excellent service, will definitely stop by every time we're in the area

We tried the garlic noodles, spicy beef noodles, popcorn chicken, and corn dumplings. The garlic noodles were creamy and the spicy noodles had good flavor, but the dishes overall felt a bit underwhelming. The popcorn chicken was soggy (but probably cause I had it to go), though it wasn't particularly memorable, and the corn dumpling were fine but didn't leave a lasting impression. The service was friendly and our food came out in a reasonable amount of time, which we appreciated. The restaurant had a relaxed, casual atmosphere that made it a comfortable place to grab a meal, but was super packed for a weekday. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but it also wasn't anything special. I might give it another try in the future and order some of their more popular items before making a final judgment.

We feel pretty fortunate to have so many great restaurants near home, so finding a place that genuinely surprised and impressed us was both refreshing and an absolute pleasure.

It's not easy to judge from pics, one might think for the portion size for the price, is a bit smaller size. Indoor and outdoor seating. Cute, casual interior. Nearby paid parking structures, or good luck finding free street parking. Definitely a restaurant to check out when/if you're in the area.

Asians in ventura county know hot pot options are slim pickings. AYCE hotpot? A first that im aware of (tasty used to be preset bowls) Loved being able to choose different broths and put whatever noodles, veggies, fish balls, tofu, etc in my pot. Staff friendly, clean restaurant. Who doesn't love AYCE hotpot? My only con is the pots used to cook your items arent very fast. The fire will die and youll need an employee to start it up. Id be cautious of ordering chicken or youll sit there for at least 10 minutes making sure its cooked all the way. If tasty pot can fix this, I think it'll improve the overall experience. I still love the overall experience and will be back multiple times this year. Side note - People used to 626 or OC ayce hot pot may be a little disappointed (no free drinks or hot food bar).
