It's a coffee spot as well as a brunch cafe. We've come to eat, and other times we just order coffee & lattes and do a little work. The owners are husband & wife and are truly the sweetest! Their cafe is great way to introduce yourself to home style korean comfort foods and the best KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) Plenty of tables to study/work or dine at. Clean, warm tones and greenery for the ambiance. Some faves we love: Food- Dweji Gomtang, KFC, Beef Bulgogi Rice bowl. Drinks- Double Chocolate Mocha Latte, Mango Matcha, Blueberry Hibiscus Tea Come support this cozy, corner brunch spot nestled in the GW Plaza! read more

Wonderful service and beautifully presented food. My sister and I enjoyed this cute and cozy Korean style brunch spot. We shared the Namu plate, avocado toast w poached egg, and vanilla latte. Everything was as delicious as it looked. Looking forward to coming back again to try other items on the menu. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but if there's one place I'd gladly rave about over and over again, it's Namu Cafe. I've been coming here regularly since they first opened, and it's been such a joy to watch them grow. What stands out immediately is the heart behind this place. The owners are incredibly kind, and you can truly feel that they're faith-based in the way they run their business. Every employee serves with genuine joy - always smiling, always welcoming - no matter how busy it gets. It's rare to feel that kind of warmth so consistently. I come here every couple of weeks to work on my laptop, and it's the perfect spot - reliable Wi-Fi, plenty of space, and such a peaceful, inviting atmosphere. Sundays get packed (which I love to see), and as a fellow business owner, it's honestly exciting watching the space fill with families and friends. Seeing it go from a quieter café to a lively, thriving community hub has been really special. Food-wise, they don't miss. The portions are generous, the flavors are always on point, and I've genuinely never had a bad item on the menu. My go-to is the Earl Grey latte - dirty, with two shots of espresso, hot - and it's hands down the best I've ever had. I don't even bother ordering it anywhere else anymore. This has become my go-to brunch spot, especially when I have family visiting West Covina. It's the kind of place you're proud to bring people to. I also have so much love and respect for Lidia and her family - they work incredibly hard, and it shows in every detail. If I could give a million out of ten, I would. I leave feeling full, happy, and grateful every single time. It's officially part of my Sunday routine now, and I wouldn't have it any other way. God bless them and Namu Kitchen. read more

Namu Kitchen is located in West Covina in the Haven City Plaza. Coming here around lunchtime on a Wednesday, it was not crowded at all. They also have free WiFi for guest and outlets on the side to charge devices. The ambiance was very calming and the restaurant was nicely decorated. I decided to get a rice bowl and it came with a bunch of sides as well. It was a pretty big portion and I couldn't finish it all. The rice was really delicious and the pork was tender and juicy. I really enjoyed the different flavors presented in the bowl. 10/10 read more

I love the way this brunch spot is decorated. It feels like a completely different vibe as soon as you walk in. The whole place has a great ambience. Everything on the menu looked interesting, but the jang jorim burrito stood out to me the most and it didn't disappoint. The beef was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. It's a breakfast style burrito, which makes it perfect for brunch. Service was attentive and on point. There wasn't much of a wait when I went on a weekday, but I'd expect it to be busier on weekends. Definitely planning to come back and try more of the menu. read more

To find a place like this in West Covina is awesome! They specialize in Korean fusion breakfast. I love the vibe of the place. It's modern and very cute, clean inside. I was impressed with the waitress who was managing 6 tables by herself as I was waiting for my friend to arrive. She was very attentive, nice, and smiley even though I can tell her cortisol levels were rising since she was making drinks in the front while managing orders too. The restroom was CLEAN and pleasant. I was skeptical at first because I generally find fusion food to be a hit or miss. Also, I'm picky with my coffee so I tend to steer away from Korean style coffees because they generally taste like acidic Americanos to me (even their cold brews). I opted for the Espresso Tonics (1 blood orange and 1 yuzu). Both were refreshing and softened/blended with the espresso and their citrus fruit flavors without being overwhelmingly cloy. I ordered Jang Jorim rice bowl and it was pretty tasty. It was a little too salty for me, but the rice, roasted brussel sprouts, cucumber salad, and kimchi countered the saltiness. Overall, I would come back again if I'm in the hood, because the food, ambiance, and service are all solid. read more

Such a cute brunch spot in the same plaza as Haven City Market. I was able to make a reservation for a larger group and communicate updates through Yelp messages, they're pretty responsive there, especially if you can't get through by phone. I ordered the Jang Jorim (braised beef) burrito- it was super tasty. The portion was huge and I could only finish about a third of it Dirty Hojicha Latte- it didn't really taste like hojicha and leaned a bit sour. But I liked that all their drinks aren't overly sweet. Overall a great spot to catch up with friends! read more

Had some of each, and they were delicious as well. read more

I've had Namu Kitchen bookmarked for a while and finally made it in on a recent Monday for brunch. We were seated right away, and I was glad they gave us a larger table because everything on the menu looked tempting. The two of us shared the avocado toast, tofu and eggplant burrito, Korean pork soup Dwaeji Gomtang, and the braised beef brisket Jang Jorim over rice. My favorites were definitely the avocado toast and the Korean pork soup. The soup was incredibly comforting and flavorful, and it honestly felt like they used two whole avocados on the toast, it was also very aesthetic and perfect for photos. I don't eat spicy food, so I was a bit bummed that the tofu and eggplant burrito came with a spicy mayo sauce, but my husband had no trouble enjoying it. To be honest, I was already pretty full by the time the braised beef rice arrived, but it made excellent leftovers for another meal later. I also ordered the hojicha latte with cloud foam, not realizing it only came iced. The waitress was incredibly kind and offered to remake it hot, which I really appreciated. Overall, this is a super cute Korean fusion brunch spot, and I'd highly recommend checking it out. read more

Tried this brunch spot since I was in the area of WestCo! It was decently priced for the portion that I got. I got the breakfast plate and it came with a variety of things. It was pretty good. My bf got the Jang-jorim burrito and it was really wet.... messy to eat. Our friend got the Beef bulgogi over rice and the portion was small..... I think consistent and reasonable portioning would help this restaurant. Service was good though read more

I stopped in for breakfast and since it was my first time here i asked the host what should i try. He recommended the Namu Breakfast plate.Sauted mushroom, crispy kale scrambled egg, parmesan cheese Korean sausage, toasted sourdough, salad, homemade jam and fruits. The mushrooms and smokey Korean sausage were the stars of the show! Also, it was a really good sized portion ! This is a very nice cafe located outside of the Haven City Marketplace. read more

This beautiful restaurant was once a tofu soup place called Myung Dong. I love what they did with the space. It's both homey and gives boutique hotel vibes. I knew we were going to have a great time the moment we set foot in it. Their server was attentive without hovering. He made sure our water carafe was always full and that we were happy with our food. Speaking of food, their fried chicken must be the best Korean fried chicken in the SGV. Seriously. The chicken was juicy, ever so crispy (but didn't have too much breading), and even with the honey sauce drizzled on top, it didn't lose its structural integrity or get soggy. And the sauce wasn't cloyingly sweet. Just enough to provide a contrast to the chicken, and it had a hint of spice right at the end. The combination of that sauce with the chicken was perfect and lethal. We couldn't stop eating it. My son's French toast was phenomenal. It wasn't too sweet either and with sliced bananas and blueberries, made for the perfect winter breakfast. He was very happy with it. The hubby loved his breakfast plate. It had kurubota sausage, fruit, and I couldn't tell what else because he loved it too much to share any of it with me. We love this restaurant. Namu is going to be one of the staples we will end up going to over and over. Their food and service (and value!) gave us such a pleasurable dining experience. read more

Went in during a weekday and had an impressive brunch! Namu Kitchen has a good amount of interesting menu items and some great drinks that include coffee and other non-coffee beverages. They had a cool drink option in which you can create your own cloud latte. I ordered a cloud latte (base: hojicha, cloud top: black sesame). Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of it, but it was delicious and creamy! I would get it every day if I could! To eat, we ordered the jam & ricotta toast, the jang-jorim burrito, and the tofu & eggplant burrito. The toast consisted of a hefty and perfectly toasted piece of brioche with generous spreads of ricotta and a couple of different fruit jams. Beautifully garnished with a rosemary sprig, our kid loved this and it was yummy. The jang-jorim burrito was a Korean iteration of the breakfast burrito that SoCal knows and loves so dearly. Brisket, scrambled eggs, potatoes, and sautéed veggies were wrapped in a nicely toasted tortilla. The tofu & eggplant burrito was a wonderfully veggie-forward version of a breakfast burrito, and it came in a spinach tortilla (my fave!). Both burritos came with a side salad and a salsa verde that I wanted bottled to take home. I would highly recommend both, but I lean towards the tofu & eggplant! We waited a little bit because it was much busier than usual for a weekday, but the cute interior and great customer service made up for it. We can't wait to come back soon! read more

Every aspect of our visit was wonderful! Service was amazing and quick and the food was delicious! I always go into a restaurant looking through the menu already and to be quite frank I was worried about the portion to price but boy was I wrong! My friend and I shared the French Toast and Korean Fried Chicken and it was so filling! We even had to take some home! And we are eaters! The korean fried chicken though saucy was still really crispy and the french toast was soft on the inside and toasty on the outside and not too sweet! (Ultimate compliment from an asian ) read more

Namu was a pretty good spot for fusion breakfast. The tofu burrito was very good but the sauce inside was a little too much and too liquidy. It basically poured out when I took a bite. It was delicious but definitely messier than I thought it'd be. Everything was pretty solid and priced reasonably. My only real complaint is that the kimchi pancake was pretty burnt on the bottom so it was pretty bitter and hard to eat. I had to focus on the center of it to enjoy the taste. The inside is chic and comfortable. Gives good cafe vibes. The service was good, the food came out pretty fast though there was only one other table with patrons. I don't know how it would be if it was busy. Overall the taste and food quality was pretty good. read more

I really liked it here. The environment just felt so cozy and pleasant. It's a great spot to meetup with girlfriends for brunch and chat. It's not just cute/aesthetic inside but also has tasty food! Matcha: I got an iced matcha latte, less sweet. I'm usually picky about matcha bc I don't like when matcha is too strong. This was a great balance for me. Tofu eggplant over rice: I tried my friend's braised beef and that was really good. So I wish I got that one. But the tofu eggplant was still good bc sometimes my stomach is a bit sensitive to meat. So I'm glad their vegetarian options were good! Their whole menu looks so good so I want to go back and try more food. The location is nice too because it's near the food hall if you want to get a drink or snack afterward. read more

I met up with my friend at Namu Kitchen on a Saturday afternoon. I have visited Namu Kitchen a couple of times and have an amazing experience everytime from the friendly service to the delicious food. The ambiance inside is very warm and welcoming, giving cozy vibes. Namu Kitchen is located in the same parking lot as Haven City Market and parking can be difficult to find on the weekend. - Sparkling Yuzu Espresso [5/5]: This drink was so refreshing and citrusy. If you're a fan of yuzu just like me, then you will love this drink! - Namu Breakfast Plate [5/5]: My favorite item at Namu Kitchen! I love the crispy kale and the blueberry jam. I have to order their breakfast plate everytime I come here. - Kimchi Pancake [4/5]: The pancake was crispy and savory. The salad and the avocado paired well with the pancake. I have also tried their hot hojicha latte with double shot of espresso and enjoyed it as well. This drink is perfect for the winter time. Namu Kitchen is definitely one of my favorite brunch spots in 626 and I can't wait to bring more of my friends here! read more

I think I found a new fave brunch spot. Love the ambiance and serene vibe to this place. I took my daughter here for brunch after the DMV. Got seated right away and ordered. I ordered a vanilla latte and the Namu Breakfast Plate. My daughter got the mushroom toast. I was sipping my latte and it spilled all over the table and floor. What a disaster. But the servers were sooo kind. They moved us to a clean table and offered to remake my latte. The breakfast plate was delicious. The salad had the right amount of dressing. The toast paired with their homemade jam - yum. Definitely a must try when you go. read more

We came here because Lola's was super busy and we were on a time crunch. Honestly not bad! The vibes were cute, staff were friendly, and food + drinks were all really aesthetic and were good. Tbh there aren't a bunch of options, which I feel like is both a pro and con, that being said I wasn't super wow'd by the food, but the portion size was really fat. The burrito was good but I think eating half of it was enough. Also the toast was pretty but I realized that I'm not as big a fan of ricotta as I thought. Still, I think it's worth a try! A cute little meetup spot for brunch with friends. read more

Oh. This place was a pleasant surprise. We eat frequently at Haven City but yelped a nice breakfast place for mom and I. Inside was beautiful and spacious. Very nice and clean. Plenty of seating.

It had a lot of items on the plate and they were all great. Large portion. The sausage was amazing, the kale and the mushrooms. Soooo good. The avo toast was good and for someone who love avocado they give you your moneys worth. Overall great place and we'll definitely be back. 10/10 read more

Namu Kitchen (West Covina) stirs strong emotions within me because it does everything right. It's an upscale restaurant that serves brunch comparable to the Las Vegas Bellagio or a rich neighborhood cafe, yet it stoops so low to accommodate everyone that it's almost insulting to its brilliant chefs. Namu Kitchen (located near the popular the Haven City Market) is phenomenal. I arrived at Namu Kitchen on Tuesday (around 9AM - opening time). The place sparkled. Its interior is gorgeous and feels almost baffling since its exterior appears so plain. Namu Kitchen (West Covina) is a hidden diamond in plain sight. Staff is very welcoming, attentive, and hardworking. Staff spoke professionally and kindly; staff answered all my questions; staff quickly helped me when waved; and staff continuously worked hard in the background. I ordered the iced Hojicha Cafe Latte ($6.50) and the Jang-jorim Burrito ($16). The Hojicha Cafe Latte arrived in five minutes and 41 seconds. The Jang-Jorim Burrito arrived in 12 minutes and 17 seconds. Fast! The iced Hojicha Cafe Latte tasted of freshly prepared milk tea with espresso. Its caffeine felt faint, lacking a kick. However, its flavor was enjoyable. This beverage held a mellow, earthy, & milky tea flavor that was pleasant. The Jang-Jorim Burrito arrived huge with an accompanying salad. This Jang-Jorim Burrito consists of juicy braised beef brisket, generous avocado, stretchy cheese, scrambled egg, tater tots, and a few vegetables. The Jang-Jorim Burrito is a messy, flavor explosion that's very memorable. I recommend eating it with a fork and a knife since this "burrito" is more comparable to an overstuffed crêpe. While savoring the Jang-Jorim Burrito, the most prominent flavor was the juicy braised beef brisket. Its sauce dripped seductively across every crevice as it dribbled everywhere. Next, its fresh & bright avocado shun loudly. If I had to nitpick, the scrambled eggs in this burrito tasted very bland and mushy. Thankfully, the Jang-Jorim Burrito made me mostly think of meat, avocado, and cheese. Shockingly, this meal was not greasy. The ingredients tasted very fresh, so the dish brought an unexpected lightness. Regarding ambiance, Namu Kitchen (West Covina) is gorgeous. The location is very well-maintained, and each corner looked picturesque. Namu Kitchen (West Covina) also felt very clean, well-ventilated (almost chilly), and shiny. Unlike its ugly and plain exterior, the interior sparkles like an upscale fancy restaurant. What's incredibly insane (and almost insulting), is that the location is littered with many, many electrical outlets for electronic devices. It's helpful but absurd. It's like adding electronic sockets in a Gordon Ramsay restaurant to attract extra customers. Namu Kitchen (West Covina) even offers free wifi with password to guests. I guess their clientele are college students that enjoy fine dining? Absolutely baffling. Overall, Namu Kitchen (West Covina) enchanted me. It's a place built with passion and special brunch options. It's a must-try. There's magic in those walls. 5 out of 5. Just go. read more

My husband and I have been to Namu Kitchen a few times now, and we honestly keep finding excuses to come back. It is completely out of our way, but we dont care. It's a Korean-inspired brunch spot and just an all-around great place to spend a morning. First off, the vibe is super cute. Very modern, clean, and welcoming without feeling stuffy. The staff is always friendly, respectful, and genuinely happy to help, which makes a huge difference. Food-wise, everything we've tried has been excellent. My husband loves the Namu breakfast plate, it comes with sautéed mushrooms, crispy kale, scrambled eggs, Korean sausage, and a homemade jam. He won't stop talking about how good it is. I usually get the kimchi pancake with avocado, a fried egg, and parmesan on top. It's freaking delicious every time. I've also had their kimchi jjigae (pork stew), which is cooked perfectly. The pork is super tender and the flavor is spot on. We've tried their yuzu lemonade and matcha latte as well, and both were really flavorful and refreshing. Nothing tastes watered down or rushed here. Overall, Namu Kitchen is just a great spot for breakfast or brunch. It has amazing food, excellent service, and is such a chill place to hang out. This spot is definitely Yelp worthy read more

Didn't realize I haven't written a yelp review for this place yet. I've been here twice already and enjoyed it both times. The first time I had ordered the tofu eggplant burrito and the second time, I decided to get the jang-jorim burrito. For the price paid, this burrito is HUGE and definitely worth it. I did like the jang-jorim burrito more as the meat was tender and juicy. The fresh avocado along with the tater tots really added so much flavor to the burrito. It's quite huge dish and can easily be shared between two people. The interior of this place is such a vibe and I heard that a lot of people like to come here and study/stay for a while, and the waiters are totally fine with it. Their customer service is also super top notch-- always checking in to make sure we have enough water and if the food is okay. The only con I have about this place is the PARKING!! because it's shared with Haven City Market, it's a pain finding a place to park. Would recommend parking on the street next to it instead of trying to find parking in the plaza directly. read more

Met up with a friend at Namu Kitchen a couple of weeks ago and have not stopped thinking about it ever since. It is located right next to the Haven City Food Court, so there are tons of food options to explore if you are not feeling brunch. Namu Kitchen has an asian fusion brunch concept, but leans heavily into Korean-inspired cuisine! No wait on a weekend, food arrived around 10-15 minutes, and the interior is very aesthetic. We ordered two things: Kimchi Pancake (9/10) and Namu Breakfast Plate (9/10). Solid flavor profile on both. The Kimchi Pancake has just the right amount of sour tanginess from the kimchi, and has a tasty crisp. The Namu Breakfast Plate is a go-to if you are unsure of what breakfast item you want to try! However, I do think the food is on the oilier side. I personally do not mind, to an extent. I would definitely come back to try other things on the menu! Parking was hard, especially on a weekend. I would recommend coming early to secure parking! read more

First time at Namu Kitchen and thought it was a decent Korean-American fusion brunch. It's conveniently located in the HK Plaza so there's plenty of parking. Cafe is clean and modern. Servers were all professional and friendly. Menu had a both American and Korean, and even fusion options. I got the cloud latte and breakfast plate. I really liked the lightly sweetened airy cream top on top of the latte. Breakfast plate had toast (a bit stale), salad, sausage, roasted kale (a bit salty), berries, and a ton of mushroom on scrambled eggs. It's definitely a well-balanced meal. read more

Came here with my friends after a hike searching for some nice brunch places. This place has really great reviews so I WANNA TRY!!! It really did live up to its expectations. Not only is this brunch place pretty and has the cutesy brunch vibes, it has amazing food too. We were all silent when eating -- thats how you know youre eating good food! FOOD: Price: Avg to slightly expensive ~$15 - $20 Avo Toast - $16 (4.5/5) IM A SUCKA for avocado toast! This is great for people who love avocado. They arent shy about the avo at all! They give a WHOLE ASS AVO, when usually avo toasts are half. Id say this might be a little too much avo but i fkn love it. I think maybe they coulda gave a little more spread but nonetheless it tasted good. The side salad was also hitting. Kimchi Pancake - $17 (5/5) Def a nice apetizer to share with friends. This is an amazing feat of a dish -- crunchy, savory, sweet, slight sourness of the kimchi... Yeah this was delicious. You have to try this to see. The avocado that came with it made it such a nice touch oh my. Rosemary Cardamom Latte - $6.5 (3.7/5) Well I mean im not much of a coffee connoiseur but this was a pretty good coffee. It has the rosemary and cardamom spice taste when you first sip it which is very unique! It lowkey taste like every other coffee but to each thier own!! VIBES: Oh myy this is the perfect place to go for brunch if yorue around the area. Im so glad this was a thing because this was exaclty what I was looking for when I wanted a brunch spot.

Picked this place last minute with a friend for brunch Monday last week and we weren't disappointed. I got the Namu Breakfast Plate and it was delicious! Very cozy inside if that makes sense. I appreciated staff checked in with us here and there. The cappuccino was good too. Fast forward, we ended up here again on Valentine's Day for Galentine's breakfast this time. I decided to go with their Avo Toast w/ a poached egg and it was decent. I think I prefer the breakfast plate more. Too awhile to get out food and drinks. Staff seemed about stressed with the amount of people, but they apologized for the wait. Overall, I'd definitely drive out from Riverside for the Namu Breakfast Plate alone. read more

It was a little on the sweeter side at first, but as the ice melts it becomes perfect, with an aromatic roasted tea flavor. The ricotta toast was also yummy and surprisingly had a unique and deep taste. It's a nice balance of savory (from the rosemary and ricotta) and sweet (from the homemade blueberry, mango, and peach jams). The service was also so friendly and warm. You can tell they care a lot about their ingredients and menu. Highly recommend and will definitely come again! read more

This is a very cozy little cafe in the Haven City plaza of West Covina. It's got a modern and comfortable vibe with great atmosphere. They specialize in Korean style brunch with many unique variations of American classics with an Asian fusion flair. The menu is very accessible to everyone though so there is definitely something for everyone here. The staff were also very welcoming and attentive. One thing to note, the portions are huge for a very fair price so bring your appetite or try a few things and share with a group. I ordered the Namu breakfast plate and it was a very full plate with scrambled eggs, sautéed mushrooms, Korean sausage, side salad, fried kale, toast, jam, fresh fruit. I also ordered a rosemary cardemon latte with came out very nice and had a wonderful light herbal flavor.
