    French toast
    Cindy T.

    Another gem I found on Tiktok while looking for a cute and yummy brunch spot in Sac for my mini trip! It was about a 30 minute wait for a Sunday around 11 am. But it was so worth the wait! Definitely try to come early and put your name on the waitlist. I got the bacon Benedict with the tots! So flavorful! 5/5 The French toast was okay! 3/5. I feel like it was a bit dry. Cant wait to come back when I am in town again.

    Finally got to try this spot after so much hype and seeing so many friends try it. My friends and I came on a Saturday after exploring the Sacramento Antique Faire. When we got here we were lucky to fond close by street parking snd were seated immediately. It was pretty packed when we came, lots of small groups and some families with little ones. It's not impossible to bring a stroller but you might feel cramped. Our service was great, the staff were nice and helpful. Our food was delicious, I ordered the yuzu benedict, my friend ordered the crab benedict, and my last friend ordered the sunrise poutine. All of our food was delicious, but I would say the poutine was the best. The yuzu sauce was a bit too citrusy for my liking but I still really enjoyed the dish. Our drinks were also good, the mimosas were less sweet than they looked. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I would come again to try new things!

    We had a big day planned and had decided to have a fun and different breakfast date in downtown Sac before hand. Yelp helped me find Sunny Side. There is metered street parking. We were sat right away. I loved the high ceilings and beams. Open and bright! The bathrooms were adorable and clean. Interesting menu. I ordered the Benedict with bacon and tomato and avocado. Chef back there knew his eggs! The hollandaise sauce here is Excellent. I could have drank it! That good! We also order this funky waffle, popcorn and chicken dish. My husband liked it a lot. He also had a Bloody Mary that he said was well poured. I would absolutely eat here again.

    Unagi Tornado Omurice
    Amber N.

    We got to the restaurant around 9:30am on a Saturday and for a party of 2 waited about 10 mins. There is no parking lot so you have to park on the street. I got their famous unagi tornado omurice with a matcha latte ($24+$7). My boyfriend got the chicken and waffles ($23). The omurice was delicious. I love eel and the sauce was tasty. The chicken and waffles came with gochujang syrup which was more on the savory side. I love the concept of Asian fusion because I love Asian food. The matcha latte was good but I wish it was a little more sweet. All the dishes looked aesthetically pleasing! Service was good. They came around to refill our waters a couple times. They even clear my empty plates while waiting for the bill. The restaurant is a little small but they have a back area for more outdoor seating. Overall, it was very good. I definitely want to try their other dishes next time.

    I've been wanting to try Sunny Side for a while because I always see the long line outside on the weekends. Unfortunately, it missed the mark for me. I had the crab Benedict and it was pretty bland. The potatoes and poached eggs were cooked well, however. My mom had the French toast and said it had a weird seasoning/after taste she didn't like. The staff were all SUPER FRIENDLY AND ATTENTIVE and the restaurant was clean! Maybe we just ordered the wrong dishes. Based on what we ordered though I probably won't be back for a while.

    The wait was super long when we came during lunch, we waited around an hour and 15 mins. We ordered the chicken and waffles, lemon ricotta pancakes, unagi tornado omurice, and sunrise poutine. Everything was delicious, my favorite was definitely the sunrise poutine and the chicken and waffles. The unagi tornado omurice was good at first but we got tired of the taste towards the end because the unagi sauce was a bit too sweet as you eat.

    Great place for breakfast. Parking is a bit tricky and came on a Saturday with the farmers market going on so had to park a couple blocks away. For seated right away although they do have a Yelp waitlist. Inside isn't huge so I'm sure the wait time can get up there. I got the crunchy mascarpone and a side of bacon. My food was delicious, I ate all of it! A lot of the food I saw being brought out to other tables also looked really good so they have many tasty looking options.

    My friends picked this place out for brunch and I tagged along expecting a typical brunch menu. Pretty cool having a restaurant serving brunch with an Asian twist! The Asian elements are subtle -- it's still pancakes, chicken, waffles, and the usual jazz but with sides/condiments such as Gochujang syrup and japanese curry. I opted for the chicken and waffles. I'd wager a guess that this is one of the menu favorites, as it's hard to go wrong with such a classic brunch combo and the maple gochujang adds a nice touch. 4.5/5 I tried some of my friend's lemon ricotta pancakes which I absolutely loved. It's simple and genius. Most brunch places serve blueberry and strawberry pancakes; I'm surprised to be hearing about lemon ricotta just now. Expect a moderate citrus flavor to it. 5/5 Excellent and well-timed service despite arriving with a group of 12 people at approximately 11am. I wasn't actively timing, but I don't recall waiting very long for all dishes to come out. Might be my new favorite brunch spot in Sac.

    Was visiting and was trying to look for a good brunch spot. This place came popped up so I decided to try it. Upon arrival, there was already a bunch of people in queue waiting to be seated. It's pretty loud and busy inside. Waiting about 20~ ish minutes. Ended up ordering the French toast and fruit with bacon and eggs. It was really good! Finished everything lol. No complaints. Would recommend this place

    There is always a wait here on weekends that has made me curious about the hype. Glad that I finally made it out. I think I had about a 30 minute wait coming on a Saturday at around 11 am. I split the unagi dish and pancake with a friend. The unagi was a nice dish, very sweet though. Im not sure i would get this dish again, but I enjoyed it. The pancake was executed well, while not a special or unique pancake, it was solid. My friends also had the eggs Benedict and avocado toast, and reported that they were good. Overall not a bad entry into Sacramento's brunch scene. I'd come back definitely, but considering the wait and my low interest in brunch, its probably not going to be in my regular rotation.

    We arrived with family from out of town to try out Sunny Side breakfast for the first time. When we arrived we waited outside with several other people and just socialized while we waited. We probably waited maybe 45 minutes before we were finally called inside, and then sat in the back area with other larger parties as we were a party of 6. Ordered: Waffle & Crispy Chicken Blackstone Omelet Jjapaguri Lemon Ricotta Pancake plate Sunrise Poutine Arnold Palmer Sprite Iced Mocha Coffee Vanilla Cappuccino The food was delicious and their were no complaints from any of us. I personally ordered the waffles and crispy chicken amd they were really good. I like the spin on the sauce paired with the dish because typically it would be a syrup type of sauce. But this was more savory with a sweet combination as well, making for an interesting fusion. Overall: Great food, great location, and great service. Would definitely come back again.

    Wow! Asian brunch fusion: this spot is a hit! In case you couldn't tell by the name, this is a breakfast spot, and it is in high demand. Expect long lines on the weekend. They have many classic breakfast options and they do them well, but they also have some fun Asian fusion options like the korean burger, Hilo moco, and a yuzu benedict, and even a soju martini. We had great service and loved the food. We will definitely be back!

    Again so busy so soon! Came in around 9:30 with a table of 4 and it was already packed and on a waitlist! Waited around 20mins but service was still so great. The food came out so fast. This time I tried the chickful bites and the tater tots! Delicious! Still such a cute, lovely, vibrant spot. Still so attentive and friendly staff all around.

Creamy avocado, sweet dates, tangy goat cheese, and a pear vinaigrette brought everything together without drowning it. The cornbread croutons stole the show. Crisp, buttery, and loaded with flavor, they added the texture most salads are missing. The meat was cooked properly and gave that subtle reminder this place understands BBQ Steak Frites (5/5): Straightforward, done right. The hanger steak was cooked with precision, with a proper sear and clean beef flavor that didn't need to hide behind sauce. You could tell they respected the product. The peppercorn sauce supported without taking over, and the fries were crisp with just enough softness inside to keep things balanced. It was simple food executed at a high level, which is exactly why it worked

The fritto misto had great texture and batter but exemplified interesting decision making in what to fry.

We sat outside on the patio which had nice bench seating and good for people watching.

I got adventurous today, and ordered the Korean Fried Chicken, which eas served on white rice, with KimChi, Sliced Jalapeños, pickled cucumbers and shredded carrot, with 2 sunny side eggs. The chicken had a nice saucyness to it, that had a very slight heat to it. The breading was not over fried, chicken tender and juicy. All the veggies were fresh and packed full of flavor. Overall, the dish was a nice change of pace and quite delicious. My wife had the Prime Rib sandwich which came with au jus to dip, and fries. Her sandwich was tasty, nice proportions , but the au jus could have been richer.

When we first walked up, the place was super busy with the outdoor seating area and queue full. There were still members of our group that were on their way, so we didn't mind waiting in line. They had kids menus available to look at, and even thought the stack for regular menus was out, some people in line were kind enough to hand us theirs when they were done. I stared at the menu the whole time I was in line. I think I was just hungry and the strong barbecue smell in the restaurant was making me crave everything. I eventually landed on a barbecue burger and decided to sub the fries with collard greens to be somewhat "healthy," and also because my husband was getting fries. What's his is mine. Ordering at the register was quick. They had a nonalcoholic frozen drink option that I was tempted to get since I don't drink. I'd recommend giving it a try if you don't mind parting with $10. I think it was $2 extra dollars to get a similar drink with alcohol too. Also, there is a separate line for ordering beer, so if you have a decent-sized group like we did, maybe consider splitting up to grab a table and join the beer line. We lucked out with one of the longer tables next to the bathrooms. Side note: they have hand-washing stations separate from the area with the toilets, so super clutch if you just need to clean up before you start touching all your food. Our orders seemed to come out as they were ready, and overall maybe 15-20 minutes, which is decent considering how packed the place was. My burger was delicious. Meat was on the medium-well side, but I don't mind a little more cook as long as it's still juicy, which was the case. Cheese was melted, onion rings were crisp, bun wasn't soggy, and there was a generous bed of jalapeños under the patty. It wasn't overly spicy or anything, but it did provide a nice noticeable difference in texture. The collard greens, I would say right now, are pretty high on my list of collard greens I've had in my life, and I order them if I ever see them on any menu since it's not often I find them. It was a decent amount, but I wished there was double once I was done. As we were finishing our food, some nice staff members were quick to come clean up our dishes. We were so satisfied with our meal and drinks that we almost forgot we needed to catch an escape room!
