Best Soufflé Pancakes ever!…read more Now that I've actually been to Japan I can honestly say I crave these pancakes more than the ones I had overseas! These pancakes are more fluffier and eggier (I think that's a legit word, LOL), and super rich! If you don't like eggs, don't visit because there is a lot of eggy flavor. I've tried the two dominant flavors, Matcha and Strawberry, and I can't tell which one I like better. The light cream topping is better than any butter or maple syrup I've ever had. There is usually one more flavor that they change from time to time as well which I've heard is great. Going on the weekday avoids the wait. The abnormal hours of operation don't make it easy to visit but if you do you'll definitely enjoy. Book the table on Yelp!

J S Foodies is the latter, a small and cheerful outpost of Tokyo imagination where breakfast behaves like theater. I arrived with my boys and my father in law, a man celebrating another year of survival in a universe that has not yet figured out how to improve pancakes. The space is small, and the famous Kiseki pancakes take their time, about twenty to thirty minutes, as if they are being persuaded into existence rather than cooked. These Kiseki pancakes are not pancakes in the American sense. They are soufflé style creations, tall and trembling, as if gravity is only a suggestion. They arrive airy and delicate, with a gentle jiggle that suggests optimism. We ordered accordingly. I had the lemon ricotta, which tasted like sunlight had been filtered through dairy. My oldest chose matcha, green, purple and quietly sophisticated and complex. My youngest went with the original maple, a classic executed so well it made the classics feel new again. All were excellent, the sort of food that makes conversation pause because mouths are busy being grateful. My father in law ordered what I personally considered a cautious breakfast. Regular pancakes with eggs and bacon. A meal that could have been assembled in any roadside diner between here and forever. Yet even this was handled with care. The eggs were perfect, the bacon honest, the pancakes dignified. No irony, no shortcuts. Yes, the prices are a little steep. But this is not a place for routine nourishment. This is a place for occasions, for birthdays, for reminding yourself that breakfast can aspire to something like art. Five stars, because sometimes the world surprises you by getting something exactly right.

For a Saturday morning it wasn't too busy inside we were seated immediately. I decided to get the works potato cakes since I've never had those before. The food came out very fast and everything was really good. My personal preference I would've gotten a different flavor of potato cakes instead of the works because I didn't really like the chicken in it but the rest was good. Would definitely come back to this location again.

When it comes to breakfast food (and that's primarily what I order here, regardless of time of…read moreday), PJ's hits the mark. Everything from their omelette, to the Benedicts, and even the slightly more eclectic Shakshuka offering, is all delicious! And, that potato hash that comes with some of the breakfast options is amazing! When you think PJ's, you obviously think pancakes. And their pancakes are good. PJ's offers you an eclectic variety in pancakes that you won't find elsewhere. Everything from chocolate chip, buckwheat, spicy apple, banana pecan, Tiramisu to potato pancakes. I have tried several. My favorites are the banana pecan and the chocolate chip. When the occasional pancake craving or breakfast/brunch food hits, head to PJ's, but definitely expect a wait on the weekends. I've been to this location of PJ's Pancake House several times. My experience with their food and service has been consistently positive. This location tends to be less crowded than its Nassau Street counterpart. They have outdoor dining and take out!

When you enter there a few areas to sit around and up at the front you can see the menu on the TV and through the glass you can see the puffs that they have available. I've only ever gotten the puffs and the cakes. They have a few different flavors (matcha, black sesame, Biscoff, oreo, etc.) and I've tried most if not all of them and they're all fairly good, not too sweet. In my opinion they taste a bit better once refrigerated for a few hours. The tres leches and strawberry matcha cakes are good as well, again, not too sweet. I'd like to try the soft serve sometime. A bit on the more expensive side so I only go there when the craving for the Asian style puffs are there. The service overall was good as the people working the front don't mind explaining the flavors of the different types of items they have for sale.

They have the main floor with a separate section that must be for large groups. Their restrooms are downstairs which also has space for what must be private dining or perhaps open on nights where it's busier. I got the huevos rancheros - a bit not traditional because they use cannellini beans and tortilla strips. I prefer the dish with guacamole, black beans and a tortilla so I'd order something different next time but still tasty! There is a parking garage behind the restaurant for a fee but I was able to find street parking easily on Birch--just across the street.

The wait for our entrees was a bit long, but it was absolutely worth it. The hummus and flatbread were okay, but the moussaka really stood out. It wasn't soggy or too salty, had the perfect amount of spice, and was very flavorful. I would definitely recommend this place and will for sure be back when I'm in the area.
