Yes, it's extremely pricey, but everything is these days, so I was willing to look past that because the food is actually pretty good. What I can't look past is the service at the register and the coffee. This is one of those places where you order everything at the register before you sit down. While we were ordering, it was loud and I genuinely couldn't hear her. When I politely asked her to repeat herself, the girl at the register seemed visibly annoyed, like I was inconveniencing her just by trying to understand the order. Not a great start. Then came the Vietnamese iced coffee -- stay away. I'm pretty sure this is just how they serve all their iced coffee, so consider this a warning. It was $7 and came out in a tiny glass with a ton of ice, so what I got was basically one sip. For that price, it felt like a total rip-off. I can't believe I'm saying this, but you get way more value at Starbucks. It's honestly comical that a place can be less value than Starbucks. Decent food, but between the annoyed register interaction and the ridiculous coffee portion/price, the whole experience felt like a scam. I won't be coming back. read more

4.5 for this great find. Was looking for a solid restaurant after a long travel day. I was super pleased with Poached Kitchen's tasty and fresh ingredients and comfortable, clean dining areas. The staff were sooo attentive and friendly. And can we talk about wait time?!?! Our food came out so quickly it shocked us! Hadn't even finished fixing my coffee, lol. If you're looking for Gluten Free offerings, those are available as well as vegan. Also, the restaurant was wheelchair friendly, including the bathrooms. Definitely impressed and will return. I was excited to hear there are also 3 other locations. read more

Great place to get a big party together for a fun brunch. Lots of room to spread out with a larger party in a place with nice modern decor, and their food is good! I had their chilaquiles because of a friend's recommendation and she was right. This was so good- better than chilaquiles I've had in Mexico. I would go back for this dish again. Price is right for the portion (large). Food came out super quick. Service is friendly. Nothing to really not like about this place. read more

Personally, I get a little put off when I go into a restaurant and I have to order at the counter. Then when I'm paying, I have to give a tiff without knowing how the "" service will be. Overall service was good as they had plenty of staff. They're being said I still had to get attention for more of my "bottomless" coffee. Price is definitely we're on the high side, but food was pretty good. The environment was bright, clean and modern. read more

Just wasn't impressed at all. Food was okay, nothing special. Service is okay. You order your food at the register, then you're provided a table, then they bring the food to you. Doesn't have the feel of a typical sit down place. Only tried this place once, so perhaps just an off day there. read more

Terrible service. Food was mediocre. Not sure how this place got all the good reviews.

It's been a year or so since I've been here, simply because I'm never in the area when they are open. I remember brunch was really yummy when I went then. I went recently with my friends for brunch however the food was lacking this time around. The chorizo breakfast burrito was super oily.. Even when the burrito first came out, you can see the oil spilling out of the burrito.. The salmon toast was fluffy in the middle, soggy in some areas, and not at all toasted, which wasn't expected. Their salmon eggs benedict was interesting. The salmon was nice, salty and savory. However the kelp overpowered the rest of the dish which made it hard to enjoy. The ambiance was okay. Service was good, and seating was decent for my party of 5. But the food was definitely not as good as I remembered it to be.. read more

Was trying to find a place with a good eggs Benedict, and ended up stumbling upon this place. I searched and searched in the area, and either they were overpriced elsewhere, had way too much sauce in the pictures, or didn't like the seating. Poached nailed it for everything I was looking for. The way it's set up, with an interior that opens to outside so we don't feel closed in made it a comfy place to be! Then the eggs Benedict itself was just the right size, with great flavor and even the country fried potatoes tasted better than other spots. The dulce de leche latte had a flavor of cinnamon in it and was not super sweet, so it hit the spot. Lastly, and obviously most importantly, even though they were busy, everyone was helpful, and the busboy was so sweet! Thank you for a wonderful breakfast! read more

Stopped in here while traveling and was so happy with our experience. Ordered Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and hubby ordered Tropical pancakes and a side of bacon and coffee. Everything was delicious. Best of all was the service they were all so friendly and seemed happy to be there. Great job Poached you have it dialed in. read more

A great breakfast spot in Anaheim Hills - I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 as our experience with the service was just satisfactory, but the food was delicious. We came on a Friday mid-morning and there was no line at the counter where we went to order our food. I subtracted one star because service was just okay. We decided to order the "Short Rib Benedict" ($19), the "Ricotta Cakes" ($17), a "Breakfast Burrito" ($16), along with a "Dulce de Leche Latte" ($6.50). The worker at the front seemed unfriendly and quite distracted as she asked us to repeat our order 3 times and initially repeated our order back to us incorrectly. Additionally, while we ordered the "Short Rib Benedict", we found out afterwards that they were out of the Korean short ribs and instead only had a "Birria Benedict" so we settled for that instead but it would have been nice to have known that sooner. Our food arrived in a timely manner in under 10 minutes and I was excited to dig in. My favorite dish of the 3 was the Ricotta Cakes which were fluffy and delicious. I loved the blueberry compote it came with and enjoyed it so much, I was left wishing there was more. The Benedict was solid but the real star of the dish was the hash browns which were perfectly crispy and buttery. The only dish of the three that I was a bit disappointed with was the breakfast burrito. It seemed pretty small for the $16 price tag especially because it didn't come with any additional side and was just the burrito itself which was standard at best. The ambiance of the restaurant felt clean and modern and I liked how Poached Kitchen had both indoor and outdoor seating available. While the restaurant is a relatively decent size, it can get pretty crowded. As Poached Kitchen is located in a strip mall, we were able to find parking relatively quickly. read more

Food was a little pricey but good. Need to offer a better drink option (soda). Would return but not unless convenient

Really yummy breakfast spot! All the food was great and the mimosa flight was very flavorful as well. We got french toast as well as a churro flavored one and both were incredible! The service was pretty fast and the presentation of the food was GORG. There was both outdoor and indoor seating and there was plenty of it! Overall would recommend this spot as it was yummy and really good! read more

Came for brunch on Saturday and it was great. Loved the food but especially the service. Matcha Latte - ordered it without know there's syrup and they remade it for me. Even came back to double check the milk I wanted. Was it the best matcha latte I've ever had - no. BUT I really did appreciate the effort and the service was spectacular. Smoke Salmon Benedict - as expected. It was yummy and I liked that they didn't overdo it with the capers. Omelet a la Grecque - this was fantastic. I love a good omelet and this was very much a good omelet. read more

Three stars. I really wanted to love this place because the food was honestly delicious, and the orange juice was to die for. That part was amazing. But the service completely ruined the experience. When we walked in, the lady at the front barely said anything and just told us to sit at table one. She didn't show us where it was or explain how anything worked. We were left wandering around trying to figure it out, and she seemed annoyed when we asked questions. After we finally sat down, we waited for about 15 minutes, thinking someone would come take our order. No one did. We just sat there feeling awkward and confused until we finally went up to ask, and only then were we told that we were supposed to order at the front the whole time. It made us feel really embarrassed, like we were doing something wrong when no one had explained it to us. Also, I ordered a kids' grilled cheese because I didn't have a big appetite, and it somehow ended up being bigger than the adult meals, which was kind of ridiculous. read more

Went on Fathers Day with my two kids ages 11 and 4. Had to wait about 30 minutes which wasn't bad at all given that it was Fathers Day. We were able to get to our table very easily given the crowded restaurant. Overall the place was very warm and welcoming. My kids had fun looking at the restaurant and had servers to our table quickly with drinks. Food came out pretty quick as well!! I had the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes which had a very good lemon flavor! I also had the Breakfast Burrito which was amazing! The sauce with it hit perfect! Staff was very quick to clear the table of any finished plates. Overall a great experience and will definitely be back again! read more

Poached Kitchen is a nice brunch place with a colorful patio area and a clean and modern interior. With the sun out, the restaurant has a relaxing vibe despite how crowded the place was on a Sunday morning. I ordered the bottomless drip coffee to pair with the Ricotta Cakes. My coffee came to my table first, and I immediately regretted ordering it after my first sip. The coffee was overly bitter and tasted burnt. The cream was not enough to salvage the taste. On a positive note, the service staff was good as they were observant of my cup and automatically poured more coffee whenever the cup was near empty. The Ricotta Pancakes were beautiful. On top of 3 big cakes was a layer of blueberry compote and a layer of lemon whipped cream and lemon zest. The cakes were nice and fluffy without being too sweet. The cakes also remained firm despite the layers on top while I was eating. The blueberry and lemon combination brought in a refreshingly sweet and tart flavor profile. As a recommendation, do not immediately pour the syrup over the cakes as the syrup will make the cakes soggy. Overall, I enjoyed my time here and would had given a 5/5, but the bad coffee lowered my score to a 4 instead. read more

Ordered brunch burrito and strawberry matcha! Was pretty good but by the time I got to my second half it was drenched with whatever was coming out of the first burrito and made it a bit difficult to eat.The service wasn't too bad until the person serving us our drinks (blonde hair lady in a pony tail) asked if we wanted straws. She came back and instead of walking a few steps to us, she tossed them on the table and walked away. Everyone else was nice but that alone put a bad taste in our mouth read more

This has been our "go to" breakfast spot since it opened. Not sure what's going on with it, but something has changed. We went back for breakfast and selected the salmon Benedict and the chile verde benedict. Both with hash browns. Poached always had the best hash browns. Seasoned and crispy. Unfortunately, they've changed to hash browns that were bland and unseasoned. They were just "meh". My Chile verde Benedict was excellent, full of flavor, some spice, nice chunks of tender pork and poached eggs cooked perfectly. My wife's salmon Benedict wasn't as good as we had previously at Poached. They may have changed the salmon used as she reported that the salmon wasn't as Smokey and flavorful as we'd remembered. Also the poached eggs were not the "medium" requested as parts of the whites were a bit runny. All in all a good breakfast but a bit concerning in these new degradations. Wish they would bring back the old hash browns!Oh, and they still have excellent coffee! Enjoy! read more

Finally got to try Poached in Anaheim and wow -- it did not disappoint! The food was so great-- everything tasted fresh, was full of flavor and beautifully plated. Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly. Service was super quick and the staff was really friendly. We didn't have to wait long at all, which is always a plus when you're hungry! Also, random but important -- their restroom was really clean. You don't always get that at busy spots, so that stood out to me too. Definitely coming back. If you haven't been, go check it out! read more

Incredible. Nice space, friendly staff and great vibe. My friend and I both decided on the salmon eggs benedict. It was so good and it came with hashbrowns.

This place was ok. We stopped in randomly because we were hungry from hiking. With how expensive the food was I figured it would have been amazing. I got the Chicken Cobb Salad. I was alittle thrown off that they would put a poached egg in it. The soda selection is very lack there of. Only Sprite & Coke.. very odd. They have limited seating. Seems more outside under the awning than inside. One thing I noticed was that the food comes out QUICK. You put ur name in, then get in line to order. When u reach ur table the food came out. That was cool. It's a nice place to try but I doubt I would be back. Prob doesn't help that I'm not much of a breakfast person and they're mainly breakfast stuff read more

First time at Poached and I ordered the Salmon Benedict. The positives first: the hollandaise was spot on -- creamy, tangy, and rich without being heavy -- and the hashbrowns were excellent, crispy and golden on the outside with a fluffy middle. The salmon, though, was a letdown. It was so intensely smoky and salty that it overpowered the eggs and hollandaise rather than balancing with them. On top of that, I found a large fish bone in my portion, which made it tough to enjoy and hard to eat with confidence. Overall, I'd come back for the hashbrowns and maybe try a different Benedict, but I wouldn't order the salmon again. Nice ambiance. Service-wise, I sat at bar and no one attended to me without me asking first. read more

What a great find! This place seems like a great breakfast brunch place! You can tell it' will be a busy place during the weekend. It has a nice outdoor setting and have windows that can be opened up to the outside leaving a nice breeze! Place seems very clean. You order first, and then go sit down. The red flag here is that ask for a tip before the service they give you. They do come serve your food but they don't come as often around to get our refills. After we were done eating, they stopped coming around, and we wanted our drinks refilled since we paid for them to be endless (coffee and peach ice tea). I ordered the chilaquiles rojo and the breakfast burrito. The chilaquiles was good, didn't add any protein and it was a good portion size. Husband enjoyed the breakfast burrito but he said there was something missing that would have made it better. Would go back and try something else on the menu. read more

My photography skills don't capture it, but this might have been the most picture perfect classic breakfast I've ever been served. It can't be an easy feat to make this plate with no greens or color to look pretty, but somehow they did. The sunny side up eggs were perfect, the hash browns were perfect, it was all pretty perfect...looking and tasting. And orange juice was fresh squeezed sunshine (I do wish though that it was served in a sparkling juice glass rather than the totally unnecessary single-use plastic cup). I also really appreciate that they offer chicken sausage as an option for those of us who don't consume pork. The patio was tidy and sparkly, which did not go unnoticed by me! Super appreciate. I only wish that they offered table service that includes a server who takes your order at the table, and who reliably provides a stream of coffee refills. Instead you order at the counter and get a number on a stick, and hope that someone walking by could kindly do you a favor; I prefer an assigned server to be more invested in tending to your needs. Ultimately, I love that they: use higher quality ingredients (Vital Farms and Mary's free-range chicken), offer a thoughtful menu, care about presentation, and prioritize cleanliness. I am happily returning to this neighborhood breakfast spot! read more

I've visited this location twice already and I must say I'm a fan. My first visit was on a Sunday afternoon. It was crowded and we had to waitlist. My second visit was on a random weekday morning. I have to say I prefer dining here during the week. It's less hectic and more of a relaxing vibe. It's a place where you order the food at the cashier and they bring food to you with minimal service. The interior was small but they also offer outside seating. I had the veggie scramble and the morning scramble. Both were really good! They have a way of making magic with simple ingredients. The food came out way better than the menu described it. Oh and I tried their pancakes. It was perfection - not runny in the middle or overcooked and dry. Their coffee was pretty good too. I can't wait to try other entrees! read more

We were looking for a new brunch spot and I think we found a new hit. This place was a little out of the way but well worth it. The service here was very nice and welcoming they let us sit down to have time to explore the menu because it was our first time there. We ordered the birria Benedict, chicken and waffles, and a classic waffle as well the Benedict was very good and the heat and spicy from the meat complemented the Hollandaise very well it's was punchy and had a nice balance. The chicken and waffles were also very good with a sweet syrup and savory gravy to go with it also but waffles were light and crunchy. Both were sweet but not overpowering. I think everything was just right and close to perfect I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to go for brunch. read more

My first visit to this up-and-coming chain did not meet with expectations. The eggs benedict was lackluster, especially the sauce (which was so minimal at first that we had to request more). The absence of fountain sodas is a huge issue for me at breakfast time, so I deducted one star for that reason (especially as the person taking our order hated being asked about their drink options). I also didn't appreciate the fries coming out ice cold, and likewise we had to unfortunately request hot fries. It wasn't busy, maybe 10% of the restaurant (including the outside) was occupied. Just wasn't what we were looking for. However there is room for improvement, and I'd consider a second visit in the future. read more
