I accidentally ordered something that contained dairy assuming that the dish didn't have dairy! The server was very kind in helping me find something that was safe for me. I totally blanked on letting them know my food allergies. The tom yum noodle soup contains half & half (as an FYI for those with dairy allergies or intolerance). The Salmon Curry Bowl is dairy free! The curry uses a coconut milk in the base. It comes with grilled salmon, tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeños, basil, kale, bok choy in a red curry sauce. It also comes with a side of rice. The flavors were well balanced and the salmon was cooked perfectly.
Very interesting fusion thai and American brunch, I got that tom Yung omelette, and it was good, and very big portion. Service was a little slow, but we did go during lunch rush, and it seemed that more people order togo than they do eat in, but me and a coworker ate in and a few people I saw finished eating-in as well. The service once she came to serve us was very nice. Ambiance is big open window glass table seating. It was on a friends recommendation so I'm glad I was able to check it out
A delicious brunch spot in SF! It can get very very busy on weekends so definitely recommend making a reservation. Even after ordering it can take a while to get your food so be wary of that! The food and drinks are amazing though. Our favorite was the drunken noodle which is more of a chow mein and has a spicy kick to it. The shaking beef was also good but was unexpectedly sweet. Salmon curry bowl was very coconuty and tender and the banana French toast had the best caramelized bananas! I loved the lychee fizz drink as well, it was so refreshing. The interior is cute but a bit crowded especially when it's busy. Overall delicious food but expect a wait!
The food is really great here! A great option for Asian fusion in SF. I got the Tom Yum Omelette which was amazing. They did a really got job with the dish, it came with shrimp, bell peppers, crispy potatoes and bread which blended very well together and had a great Tom Yum flavor. Got the fruit on the side too which came with some fresh bananas, strawberries, orange, and blueberries. They are definitely generous with their portions which is great because the food is really good! On the downside, this place was absolutely packed for a Sunday brunch. We wanted to dine in but there was a bit of a wait and we had a flight to catch. Ended up doing to go and waited about 30 minutes for our food, I think we would've waited even longer if we weren't insistent on getting our order. It was extremely busy so there's not much that they can do about it though. I'd recommend making a reservation if you want to dine in here or maybe ordering by phone. I do think the food is worth it though!
If you're looking for an Asian fusion brunch place in SF, you have to check this place out! We came on a Friday afternoon and it was moderately busy, service was great and servers were attentive. Food we ordered: - Tom yum omelette w/ shrimp - Thai tea French toast - Drunken noodles w/ chicken -- the noodles they used are not the typical noodles I'm used to but it was filled with flavor with a kick of spice. - Tom yum noodle soup w/ crispy chicken -- my favorite dish!! The crispy chicken was recommended by the server and it truly did not disappoint. The chicken was crisp and juicy and the noodles were cooked perfectly. For drinks we got the Thai iced tea, butterfly lychee fizz, and the coconut milk latte. I got the Thai ice tea less sweet and it was perfect for me ( I usually don't like it super sweet). The butterfly lychee fizz was very refreshing (could be less sweet for me) and the coffee was also very good! Would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area or looking for brunch food that isn't your typical American brunch!
I tried 4 different dishes and 4 different drink items. We ordered the Hai Nan Chicken, Shrimp Benedict, Pad Thai with shrimp, and Saigon steak. For drinks we got a hot and cold matcha latte, cappuccino, and a Jasmine milk tea. My favorite had to be the Saigon steak, the steak was so juicy and tender! Love the sunny side up egg on top, we dipped the steak in the yolk I loved the matcha latte, we got it with 0% sweetness and it was perfect for us. Helped wash down all the delicious food! Buisness was also popping on Sunday! We kept seeing people line up and wait for a table. Despite how busy it was, our food and drinks came out pretty quick. Everyone was very helpful when I was ordering l
Great Asian fusion brunch menu and I especially loved the signature drinks here! I love when you can make reservations for a popular brunch place instead of being forced to walk-in and wait. I made a reservation via Yelp for 3 people on a Saturday at 11:15am. My table was ready on time and they seated me even though our full party was running late. I got the Omelette Fried Rice (4.5/5), that came with delicious sriracha bacon, and an okay salad on the side. For my drink, I got the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk (5/5), which was fantastic. It's on the sweeter side, which worked for me. It was fairly busy and a bit loud inside. The dining room is long and narrow but has a decent amount of seating. Service was good, and friendly.
We had a reservation for a group of 5 for brunch. We arrived on time and there was a huge line outside. We waited about 10 min to get seated. Once we got seated at a 4 person corner table (and had to squeeze in to fit everyone in our party) they took our order. Drinks didn't come out till about 30 min later. Food took over 1 hour and 15 min to arrive and it's was okay at best. I ordered the tom yum omelette with bacon and friend rice. He omelette was stuffed with onions ( I literally got a half cooked white onion inside, bell peppers( a few mushrooms and basil and 4 overcooked pieces of shrimp doused in tom yum paste. The salad had no dressing and the rice was very dry. Overall not worth 75 min wait for this food. Go somewhere else
We came around 10:30am and it was already quite busy. Nonetheless, we got seated immediately and the staff was super nice! We got the thai tea french toast, pad thai, saigon steak, and chicken & pandan waffle. All were great choices but my favorite is definitely chicken & pandan waffle. I thought it was cooked perfectly. As for drinks, we got the strawberry matcha, strawberry fizz, iced butterfly lychee fizz, and thai tea. Personally, I enjoyed the matcha the most but all of them were quite aesthetic. I also like how this place also gives non fusion options like pad thai and pad see ew if your looking for more traditional foods!!
We got delivery from here. The salmon curry ($20.95) was so so so good! I especially loved the coconut rice. I can't speak for the service or ambience (looks cute from the photos) but the packaging was very thoughtful.
A great brunch spot that takes reservations (there were even reservations still available the morning of a holiday weekend)! Drinks - more options than the food, which is really saying something. We got the pink dalgona coffee and a lychee jasmine tea. Both weren't just good but also came with fresh fruit on top. For food we got the chicken & pandan waffle combo that came with two eggs and sriracha bacon. The waffle was perfection, crispy and light while still very flavorful. The chicken had a nice thin crisp on the outside but was a little dry and flavorless on the inside. The bacon actually tasted better with the waffle than the chicken did. That was really the only flaw for this place (4/5 stars). We also got the steak benedict that comes with a curry hollandaise. This was really unique and we'd absolutely get it again. The potatoes on the side were also crispy and they give a lot of fresh fruit too!
A cute small restaurant with minimal seating. If you want to grab a seat, they do have a reservation list, if not, get there early! We came in on Saturday around 11 am, with a party of 3, and was seated immediately. It was our first time here, and after hearing the reviews about Mr. East, we were excited to try out this place! We got the Tom Yum Noodle Soup, Salmon Benedict, Tom Yum Omelette, and Thai Tea French Toast. Tom Yum Noodle with Crispy Chicken: The broth leaned much sweeter than expected and wasn't as sour or savory as a traditional tom yum. It reminded me more of a mixture between Thai red curry and sweet khao poon. The crispy chicken was flavorful, but it was not freshly made and was a bit cold when it was served. Tom Yum Omelette: Compared to the noodle soup, the tom yum flavors were much bolder and more balanced. It is a bit on the spicier side, so if you're having this early on an empty stomach, I would take precautions if this is not the usual for you. Overall, we enjoyed this dish the most. Salmon Benedict: Overall, it was decent, but the ingredients didn't taste as fresh as we had hoped. Thai Tea French Toast: This was also decent. The toast itself wasn't very thick or fluffy and was on the thinner side. The thai tea sauce had a nice flavor, but could have been thicker and a bit sweeter. Pad Thai: This was our least favorite dish. The flavors were quite mild and lacked the bold, tangy-sweet taste I usually expect from pad thai. I would not order it again if I were specifically craving pad thai. Unfortunately, our experience took a turn when we discovered a dead ladybug on the Pad Thai. It completely ruined our appetite, and we ended up barely eating the rest of our meal. When we informed one of the servers, she immediately pointed toward the ceiling and suggested the dead ladybug have fallen from there, but did apologize for the incident. Lol. While I understand that accidents can happen, the response felt dismissive and was not handled in the most reassuring way. Despite this, we had a good time with our male server. He was friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout the meal, which we appreciated. Overall, the food was decent, but most of the dishes were on the milder side and didn't taste particularly fresh. For Thai-Vietnamese inspired food, I probably would not come back to this place.
The food was really good and generously served. The chicken basil was delicately seasoned and is very tasty. The waffles were crunchy outside but very soft onside. They were very filling and delicious. The servers were so nice and friendly. They give their customers a sense of belonging to a family. The place is modern and spacious. My only concern is the door that's very hard to open. I recommend that you give them a try. You will have a wonderful experience.,

Plenty of street parking! Finding a spot to park wasn't hard. Customer service was average, but kind! It didn't take long for us to get our food. The food was excellent and reasonably priced! I wasn't too hungry, but I was able to eat something simple for less than $20. That's a win in my book! The restaurant is beautiful! Cozy, but very colorful. I would go again. read more

Sooo incredible! We ordered the garlic noodles with tofu and the chicken fried rice. The garlic noodles were super flavorful with perfectly chewy noodles, and the tofu was delicious. Plus it came with a peanut dipping sauce that was sooo good. The fried rice was also amazing, and the chicken was super crispy They also brought out their house chili oil for us to try, which was vegan, such a nice touch and seriously so good!! The staff was super friendly, made great conversation, and were genuinely so sweet. It really made the whole experience feel welcoming and warm. Overall, such a great experience. The presentation of the dishes was immaculate, and there's lots of spacious seating which makes it great for groups. I'd definitely go back. My friends have already been here multiple times and I can see why! read more

Went to lunch with a friend. We showed up just in time because it started to get packed with groups and the sound level did go high for a while as the places a bit on the smaller side, but calm down and we're still able to have conversation through it. I haven't had a banh mi in a long time so it was really craving one and got Vietnamese coffee my friend got the chicken and waffles. Her chicken and waffles looked amazing! When my Vietnamese coffee came, it was super pretty with the coffee foam on top and the bottom was whole milk. The banh mi was OK I got it with fries and the fries were amazing. I would be curious to try other things on their menu as they brought out other food to other tables the dishes did look really good. read more

i was so excited to try this place because of all the positive reviews on Yelp. unfortunately, i wasn't impressed. i ordered the pandan waffle and didn't have anything positive about it. the fried chicken was ok and there was nothing special about it. i did like how the chicken was juicy but the skin felt a little too heavy for my taste. the pandan waffle was definitely lacking. i didn't really taste the pandan flavor in it and was hoping to have more pandan. i wish it was crispy on the outside and softer in the inside. overall, i think its a good place to try once but other than that i probably wouldn't go back read more

3.5 Had high hopes for this Thai brunch fusion eatery but some dishes fall a bit flat. Do hope that they taking this criticism constructively. Id suggest coming during brunch cause it seems all the cool dishes are at brunch. Unfortunately I came during dinner so we had the dinner menu. Chicken and waffles- The chicken is fried differently than like southern fried chicken which is fine. Chicken was generally juicy but pretty bland. Don't think it was seasoned at all. It does come with the syrup tho which you really need to drench on there to get some flavor. The pandan waffle had good texture but suffers from the same issue. Not enough pandan flavor. I got the dish with the Sriracha bacon. That was really good tho! Would recommend The Hainan chicken has the same issue as the chicken above. Just kinda bland. Best dish of the night was the pad kee mao bbq pork. I chose bbq pork cause I'd never seen bbq pork in pad kee mao... Alas it was not bbq pork but more like grilled pork. However it was so damn good all was forgiven. The pork was so good and the dish itself very flavorful. Highly recommend Viet coffee dalgona was tasty. Would recommend if you like Viet coffee. Overall some good and some meh dishes. I really wanted to try their tom yum omelette so I won't rule out coming back but since it's quite a drive from SJ it'll def be awhile. read more

Came on a Saturday afternoon and got seated immediately. I got the fried chicken and pandan waffle. The chicken was crispy and the waffle was the perfect texture. My ideal breakfast!

They were perfectly cut and fried, definitely a new favorite of mine! Will for sure be coming back! read more

The location is great if you don't have a car. If you drive, there are still options to park at like the 5th st garage, it's just a bit of a walk (for my preference). We were a party of 2 with a reservation, which is highly recommended because the place was busy but in a good way. The flow is pretty good but it was non-stop, love that for them. As busy as they were, they still provided great service with a good energy. This place focuses on one thing: providing good food! Average city pricing. We ordered the garlic fries, chicken and waffle, crunch berry french toast and tom yum omlette, for drinks we got the strawberry matcha, pink dalgona coffee, coconut milk latte and the orange passion fruit breeze. Everything was delicious but I loved the french toast the most. And the pandan waffle. That pink dalgona was unique and yummy. Highly recommend this brunch spot then take a walk downtown to walk off your meal. read more

Quick bite with super friendly service. Stopped by on a Monday morning for brunch. Bright, clean environment. Though the waiter encouraged a second beer a few times (so unprofessional for me at 10 am), it was all in good fun. Thai tea French toast is as advertised and delightful. Instead of syrup it comes with a Thai tea flavor glaze. Lovely arrangement of fruit as well. Toast is standard thickness for bread, cooked well. All combined, I was really pleasantly surprised. Though I love French toast, I usually feel queasy and overfull afterwards. Sugar drenched. Not here, my friend. Delicate flavor. Not overly heavy or sweet. Just right for a sophisticated palate. Went well with beer. But just one beer. read more

Went here for brunch on new year's day and it was packed. We were seated in about 25 minutes which wasn't too bad. They took our order really fast but the kitchen was backed up and it took awhile to get our food. Understandable as it was new year's day that the food would take awhile but some of the food that came out was lukewarm. Extremely disappointed that this was the case. Pad See Ew: This dish came out lukewarm. Flavors weren't and just temperature threw off the dish. Garlic Fries: Classic appetizer, fresh and hot and the sriracha mayo sauce was good. Thai Tea French Toast: A little too dry for a french toast. The sauce was kind of bland and was straight up tea without any sweetness to balance it out. Fruits were fresh and sweet though. Tom Yum Soup: Broth was a little bland and missed the iconic tartness of tom yum soup. Server also forgot one of our food orders on top of the long wait and lukewarm food. I would like to think it was due to the new year day rush but I do not see myself coming back. read more

What a gem! Mr. East quickly became one of our favorite spots in San Francisco. From the flavorful basil chicken and spicy bacon Benedict to the delicious cappuccino and refreshing lychee jasmine tea, everything was spot on. Add in the welcoming atmosphere and genuinely kind staff, and it made for the perfect brunch experience. We can't wait to come back on our next trip to the city! read more

I was so happy to see that when I pulled up it was a packed house for brunch!! The service was super friendly and very fast- our food came out before our drinks that's how quick they were! We ordered tom yum omelette (delicious!) and the Saigon steak(also very good) beware as they are very large portion sizes!! We were stuffed! Their lychee mimosa and plain black coffee were outstanding! Can't wait to return! read more

This spot is a bit out of the way if you don't drive but it's not too bad of a walk from Powell Bart station. The Saigon steak is delicious, the meat was easy to eat and came with plenty of yummy sauce and nicely cooked onions. The tom yum soup was good. If you don't think you can finish a whole plate, this is a good choice. It was also loaded with chicken! The Thai lime tea was refreshing, not too sour and not too sweet. The staff were friendly and didn't rush us. Consider this spot for your next casual hangout with friends or family read more
This was a bit of a random but awesome find for us. We were going to a matinee and came here for brunch and were happily surprised. The service was fast and very friendly - it was natural and not forced, and we felt very welcomed. The drinks are colorful and the plates were all excellent. We enjoyed the flavorful food and the dishes weren't small but not heavy. read more

Make sure to make a reservation because this spot is definitely on the smaller side and always packed! The Tom Yum omelette definitely stole the show here! The soup inside the omelette was so so good. Paired with the rice it tasted fantastic. The Thai tea French toast was pretty underwhelming. The sauce was good but the toast was very average. Would definitely come back in the future! read more

We went there on a Saturday morning. The place wad fairly busy, and we got a table because reservation. The inside seating was pretty nice. They have awesome ice coffees, and you have to try it. I forgot to take pictures, but it was awesome. I got Thai tea french toast which was tasty. My wife got omelette which she was pretty happy. The only reason I gave them four star is because we wanted to sit longer but they kicked us out because they were short on tables. Other than that no complaints really. Will go there again if I am in the area. read more
I was recommended this place a while back, and it did not disappoint! Came here at noon on a Tuesday and was seated right away. We decided to do family style so we could try a little bit of everything. We got the Pandan Waffles, Crispy Chicken Fried Rice and the Garlic Noodle Bowl with Tofu The Pandan Waffles were AMAZING!!! Perectly crispy, and the inside was almost mochi like. Even with syrup, it wasn't too sweet, and the whipped butter helped balance everything out. The bananas were also a great touch, but our berries were a bit sour. This was my favorite of the three. The crispy chicken fried rice was also super delicious! I love the pickled veggies and the sauce that it came with paired well with the chicken and fried rice. The garlic noodle bowl was just okay, and I'd skip this on my next visit. The tofu was more like a fish cake than actual tofu. Still not too bad, just didn't stand out like the other two dishes we had. This is a great spot for brunch, and there's so much variety to suit everyone's appetite! The workers are also super kind and friendly. I will definitely be back! read more
