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

Excellent experience: food, service, ambience! Between us, we had - Spicy Bacon Benedict - Drunken Noodle Beef - Pad Thai Each of these were awesome! Tasty, with very large servings. I usually don't take boxes (as I finish it right at the restaurant), but i (wisely) decided to do so this time. A special mention for the Service. Our waiter (sorry, didn't catch his name) was fantastic - polite, extremely humorous, and advised us well on the dishes. All in all, a great experience. Will definitely return! 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

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

Very pleased with the authentic taste of this Thai restaurant but service was friendly but maybe a bit challenged on a busy lunch rush. The restaurant was full but with only one server, we did have to wait for menus, having our order taken, and for us to get the check. Definitely would recommend you stop by for the food! 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! My boyfriend got the eggs benedict with the fried potatoes. The potatoes were one of the best breakfast potatoes that I've ever had. They were perfectly cut and fried, definitely a new favorite of mine! Will for sure be coming back! 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!

Their lychee mimosa and plain black coffee were outstanding! Can't wait to return! 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

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.

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

Really enjoyed my brunch experience at Mr. East Kitchen The food came out looking so pretty, and everything on the table felt colorful, fresh, and satisfying. We had a mix of sweet and savory dishes, plus several drinks, and it made for such a fun brunch spread. I especially liked the presentation, the variety, and how bright and casual the space felt. It's a great spot if you want a relaxed brunch in San Francisco with nice portions and visually beautiful dishes. Definitely a lovely place to keep in mind for brunch in SF read more

One of my favorite brunch spots in San Francisco with Thai and Vietnamese fusion cuisine. I ordered the tom yum omelette, which comes with a side of potatoes and your choice of fruit or salad. I was pleasantly surprised, since I don't usually see this combination. The dish was bursting with flavor, with a nice balance of savory, sour, and spicy. It's also topped with pieces of sriracha bacon which has just the right kick. The Saigon steak was incredibly flavorful and ended up being our table's favorite dish. The beef was soft and tender, cooked with a generous amount of stir-fried onions. The restaurant uses a different type of noodle for their drunken noodles, but it's still a solid dish with peppers, basil and onions. I recommend the iced butterfly lychee fizz. Its not too sweet, and the lychee flavor is prominent. Good morning drink if you dont want caffeine or mimosa! The interior is nice, modern and comfortable. The servers are attentive, and it was overall a great experience. 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

Excellent, friendly service. The Curry flavor is truly transcendent! I could eat buckets of this. I will definitely return for this delicious magic! And I love the bok choy & kale - wonderful nutrition. The spring rolls had a pleasantly surprising crunch with the beloved cucumber in the center - and I absolutely LOVE the cold julienne slices or carrot and the white thing (radish?) - super tasty and refreshing - perfect compliment to the spring rolls! Delicious. That was a new twist for me. Fresh and delicious. I am a bit picky about salmon and did not care for the deep fry & greasiness but it wasn't all bad. For me, steam/grill/bake without oil use would have been worth the wait but I know I am too picky - it is not their fault. There are many wonderful choices on the menu so 100% I will return. The staff are attentive and highly pleasant. The ambiance is clean, tidy, and comfortable. i saw many people walk-in who chose to pick up and take away, and I saw some delivery motorcyclists picking up orders. There was enough space inside for the people who were eating in the restaurant so that it didn't feel too crowded. I envy people live closer who can walk to this location easily...I might be here every day. I am still dreaming of that amazing super amazing curry. The craving is there and I want to explore more of the menu. 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!

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

My friends and I decided to take the Caltrain to city for a food adventure.This is a 10min walk from Caltrain station. SUPER CONVENIENT! If you want to eat right off of the Caltrain.We did make reservations for 1pm. It was quite busy so I'm glad we did. Around 2pm all the hustle and bustle died down. I believe you could just walk in to eat. On this particular day after doing two workout classes. I was rather ravished with hunger . Haha! I wanted something carby & something filled with protein. I went with the fried rice omelette. A well balance of fried rice and omelette that underneath is covered with mixture of veggies and shrimp. It was mouth watering good. I like how they fusionized it by adding Tom yum flavor to both fried rice and omelette. It gives it off a nice sour goodness like your eating tom yum soup. For my drink I got dalgona Vietnamese coffee. It's like a fluffy coffee like cloud filled with coffee concentrate that you twirl into milky ice for nice blend of coffee richness. What's savory without sweet? Friends and I decided to also share banana caramelized French toast. The soft pillowy like bite mixed with berries and glazed brown sugar banana was chef kiss. I would come back just for this. I'm drooling just thinking about it. read more

Came back here again & brought a coworker. We got there at the right time as it hit packed. I ordered the dalgona coffee again & ordered the crispy chicken salad w/sunny side up egg. Everything was good. My coworker ordered the pho. Unfortunately, she didn't like. She said it was bland. I noticed they put the white flat thicker noodles. I felt bad that she barely touched her soup; but my salad was good. read more

Dropped by since we were in the neighborhood. It was a weekday past noon and luckily there was no wait, so we grabbed a table. It's a cute, modern cafe with kiosk in the front. ***OUR PICKS*** STRAWBERRY MATCHA LATTE ~ this was lightly sweetened from the macerated strawberries on the bottom. Matcha flavor was prominent and the strawberries were sweet enough to balance this drink. You just have to mix it up to get the sweetness all around. I enjoyed it! 5/5 STEAK BENEDICT ~ the eggs were perfectly cooked and runny inside! Steak was tender and juicy. Potatoes were crunchy outside and soft inside. Thoroughly enjoyed this dish! 5/5 FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH ~ this sandwich was juicy and delicious, but the patty was thinner than a pancake and barely any meat. So that was disappointing. If only it was thicker, it would have been great. The fries were crispy and good. 3.5/5 I'd recommend their benedict dishes if you're looking for a breakfast dish. It was pretty scrumptious! Their other drinks looked good too! We're rarely in this part of town, but I'd come back if I was in the mood for brunch. read more

I'd definitely eat here again and try some more of the other food menu items! Great place for breakfast, brunch or just because. read more

Walked in for brunch on Labor Day. Cute Thai fusion brunch spot. Waited about 10-15 minutes for a table which wasn't bad for no reservations. Tight spot but also offers outdoor seating. We were seated inside and our server came to take our drink order. My bf got the iced lychee tea which was delicious and refreshing. I got the coffee - standard. But service was lacking so I never got a refill lol. We ordered the banana French toast and steak & eggs specialty. Both dishes were tasty but pretty small portion for the price. We also waited over 45 minutes for our order... And they never gave us water or utensils either... I ended up just grabbing for myself at the front. Probably understaffed bc of Labor Day but wasn't stand out enough on any fronts to return... I'd recommend Sisterita over this place. read more

YES YES YES! Great vibes, awesome service, creative drinks & food. We ate here two days in a row...and we probably could go back over & over. The flavors are all so different, can't imagine my tastebuds getting tired. I LOVE chicken & waffles but usually you get disappointed by the chicken or the waffle...this dish was PERFECT! Lightly crispy, juicy, and a mouth of yum! So many options with different flavor profiles. A must when you are SF. Best meal for sure! read more

Had a huge brunch here with a few friends; we were able to try a good chunk of items, most of which we enjoyed. To preface, I'm not a huge breakfast fan so I never think any breakfast spot is amazing, although I do think Mr. East Kitchen offers some really unique fusion items. I enjoyed the thai tea french toast which was not overly sweet, and the garlic fries that come with the sriracha hot wings were so addicting to eat. The garlic pork noodle was tasty along with the chicken and waffle, but the saigon steak was too sweet for me. Potatoes on the side were delish though. Drinks here are gorgeous and yummy! The place itself isn't the biggest but still has a good amount of seating. Parking is on the street so it's not the most convenient. Service was decent but they were quite busy when we came. Overall, solid option for asian fusion breakfast! read more

Tried Mr East Kitchen in SF and loved it. The service was great and honestly every dish we ordered was a hit. The Saigon steak was super flavorful, the drunken noodles were really good, and the chicken waffle pandan combo was such a fun combo that worked surprisingly well. The crunch berry toast was a nice sweet balance too. The place has a great vibe and feels perfect for brunch or lunch. It's Asian fusion with lots of options, and you can tell they really care about flavor--nothing tasted bland. Would definitely come back and recommend checking it out. read more

There seems to be an abundance of Thai fusion brunch spots in SF, but very few of them take reservations for the ultra-popular weekend brunch. I'd heard about Mr. East through word-of-mouth and was able to score a Saturday morning reservation a few weeks out. Mr. East's menu is quite large with a full range of brunch and Thai food classics (eggs benedict, pad Thai), along with some unique twists (pandan waffles, tom yum omelette). We also found it amusing how the "specials" menu was holiday-themed, since our visit took place in the middle of summer. My friends and I decided that the best strategy would be to order a variety of dishes and share everything family-style, and our servers were accommodating and brought us additional plates. This turned out to be the right call because portions are HUGE, and we were glad that we got to try a little bit of everything. We ordered the pandan waffle (my choice), tom yum omelette, Hainan chicken, and berry French toast. Everything came out of the kitchen less than ten minutes after we placed our order. If I were to choose a favorite "brunch" dish, it would be the pandan waffle - the texture of the waffle was light and fluffy, and the pandan lent the waffle a sweet, mild flavor and cool green color. Plus, the whipped butter provided a salty contrast to the sweet waffle and syrup. The tom yum omelette was unique - the filling had a tangy, fishy flavor that tasted just like its namesake soup. While typically a fan of the sweet brunch dishes, my favorite dish overall was the Hainan chicken. I really enjoyed the tender chicken and savory yet subtle flavors of the rice and garlic dipping sauce; so simple yet so delicious. The berry French toast, while impressive-looking, was my least favorite dish - it was as sweet as a churro filled with strawberry creme and topped with more syrupy-sweet strawberries. While Mr. East is a solid brunch spot, I'd be just as happy to return for lunch or dinner to try some of their other Thai dishes. read more

We went here around 6pm on a Saturday and there was no wait. The restaurant was actually quite empty at the time I went which I was surprised about since most restaurants are usually busy at that time. This restaurant is located in a bad neighborhood, so maybe that's why it wasn't busy. Anyways, we ordered the Drunken Noodle Beef, Crispy Chicken Fried Rice, Garlic Noodle Bowl w/ Salmon, Fried Chicken Sandwich w/ Garlic Fries, Pink Dalgona Coffee, Iced Butterfly Lychee Fizz, Hawaiian Rainbow, and Strawberry Fizz. All of the food we ordered was good, but my favorite food item would be the Garlic Noodle bowl and also the Strawberry Fizz drink. I liked how thick and chewy the garlic noodles were and also liked how refreshing the Strawberry Fizz drink is. I'd still recommend this place since the food and drinks tasted good. I wouldn't recommend going here for a late dinner though because I felt the neighborhood it's in is a bit dangerous because people easily walked into the restaurant and asked my group if they can have some of our food. read more
