We decided to end our meal with some Japanese soufflé pancakes, something we've tried at a few…read moreother spots before. Since this place is right next to Yum Long Chinese restaurant, it was the perfect little dessert stop after lunch. Hubby and I shared the crème brûlée pancake and an espresso smoothie, and both were delicious! The pancake was incredibly fluffy and airy, with that light, sponge-like texture you want from a good Japanese soufflé pancake. I also really liked that the sauces weren't overwhelmingly sweet, so the dessert didn't feel heavy or sugary. The espresso smoothie was another pleasant surprise--creamy, flavorful, and with a nice coffee kick that paired perfectly with the pancake. Overall, a really satisfying way to finish the night. If you're already in the area for dinner at Yum Long, definitely save some room for dessert!!!!

We came to this store on a weekday morning around 9:30 am to grab some breakfast. The interior…read morelooked really pretty with bright colors, lighting and modern furnishing. There were only couple of customers at that time, it wasn't busy at all. We started with two appetizer items first. Takoyaki had decent filling but they were so over fried. Seafood gyoza was decent though. Then we had their most popular dish, the mango premium soufflé pancakes. It took them almost half an hour to prepare the dish, which they notified us when we were ordering. The dish came with a towering soft pancake, half of an actual mango, some whipped cream, mango cream and a scoop of mango ice cream, all for a price of $18. I loved this dish so much, it's a dream dish for any mango lover. Staff members were friendly at the store. Despite not being busy, I saw multiple of them in the store, some working in the kitchen and others taking care of customers in dining area. Overall a really good place to try out some world class soufflé pancakes, with delicious sides.

We were back here this week because of My SGV Passport, and we got a free Benedict entree for it!…read moreWe opted for the Florentine Benedict, and the yolk definitely popped on the poached eggs! There is so much food - my partner and I shared one entree and an onion ring. I also got a mango iced green tea, which was so refreshing and perfectly sweet (not too sweet). The onion rings were nice and crispy, and it seems like they use the 椒鹽 seasoning that is used for popcorn chicken in other establishments. Delicious. Also, my partner tells me that onions are prebiotic, so we can put onion rings down as...healthy! The iced tea is refillable, and before we left, they refilled my tea and put it in a to-go cup for me. There is free lot parking around Alhambra. This is one of those places where you order at the counter and you find a seat (which honestly stresses me out a lot, but it wasn't too bad when we were there).

I liked the pics on Yelp and so finally got to try it for brunch this week, and boy is this place GOOD! Parking can be a drag even on a weekday mid-morning despite there being a good amount of parking spots on the entire block. That was a hassle. Once I found something, I went into the place, which is a small breakfast joint - not divey or anything, but also not particularly decorated. Didn't really matter though. The star for me were the pancakes. I got the blueberry pancakes, a side of bacon, a side of their breakfast potatoes, and a glass of fresh lemonade. The lemonade was good and clearly made fresh in-house, I think. The bacon was good, but bacon is always good. The potatoes were nicely seasoned, which was good because lately I've tried way too many breakfast places with bland, sad potatoes. Not here. The pancakes were amazing. They are super fresh and fluffy and served with an amazing cookie butter syrup. It may sound sweet, but it's not overly so. I honestly think these are some of the best pancakes I've had in many years in all of Los Angeles. They were honestly that good. And, I don't usually rave about pancakes very often. Service was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The place was doing a good amount of business considering I went when most people should be in school or work and too early for lunch. I highly recommend you try this place at least for breakfast, though they also serve lunch. It's a real gem, and I can't wait to go back!

I've had this spot bookmarked for a while now and because I got some local food passport as a gift…read morerecently, it reminded me to make my way here. I got their two item breakfast plate with Portuguese sausage and steamed veggies with over-easy eggs; and a small pancakes as part of the passport offering. The breakfast plate was a bit bland, including their sausage, which is thinly sliced versus what I've seen on their Yelp page (inflation sized sausages). I mean, I get why there are soy sauce and hot sauce condiments readily available. My steamed veggies turned out to be veggies in a teriyaki sauce, which I guess was fine as it added more flavor to my breakfast plate. I don't have any authority to judge what good pancakes are since I never order it, but theirs was fluffy with a slightly sweetened cream sauce that reminds me of the custard in a cream puff pastry. But the pancakes were 1 1/2 times double the size of my head so it's huge! I barely made a dent in most of the food so I guess I have leftovers for days now. Service was good and the place had a nostalgic charm to it. If you're in search of ginormous portions in carbs for a reasonable price, then this is your place.

Today was definitely the perfect day. Knowing what I know now as I write this review, we would return & bring friends here. It's about 78 to 80°F on a Friday a few minutes before 1 pm, surprisingly, it was low key--only a couple tables taken indoors by patrons and a set of guys on the patio. At the door, it said to seat ourselves & I immediately shot to the patio. The set up: once seated, the server comes with menus, you order & it's a sit down meal. Giselle was our friendly & attentive server, young & attentive. Hubby ordered the breakfast burrito ($11.50) & I opted for build your own omelette $11.50 for a 3 egg omelette & choice of two items- mushroom and bell peppers accompanied with breakfast potatoes, and chilaquiles ($13.99) to share. The patio seating is fresh, airy, there are tables, outdoor furnitures (sofas) and bright orange umbrellas for shade. My photos captured these elements. The food arrived shortly, although not all at once. I didn't mind it all because the ambiance was so soothing with the sound of birds chirping away and the background of other patrons talking. The only complaint from Hubby was too many pototo chunks in his burrito. My omelette was hot, fresh ingredients, delectable & the potatoes were mixed with 3 colors of bellpeppers. Oh and the chilaquiles? Pretty darn good! The tortilla chips were crispy, perfect amount of green salsa, freshly diced onions & a sprinkling of cotija cheese. Was I famished or was it that good that I devoured everything? What's left was Hubby's potato chunk discards. Giselle returned a few times to ensure our experience is to our satisfaction & another staff also stopped by to check on us. Such a perfect meal & day-- I'm so happy with this visit. Parking is plentiful & free.

I ordered chilaquilles and I couldn't decide whether I wanted green or red so they gave me both and it was INCREDIBLE!!

I met Chef Ceasar and I expressed my sentiments about his knowledge of flavors, and how PLEASED and SATISFIED we all were!
