    Sunrise Poutine
    Istiel C.

    Stopped by Sunny Side for breakfast while I was in town for work. I came by pretty early on a weekday and definitely beat the rush. The staff was attentive and got me seated right away. There's a lot to choose from on the menu, and all the pictures people have shared on Yelp looked so good! I'm not a huge sweets person in the morning, so I usually lean towards something savory. I ended up going with the Sunrise Poutine and the Yuzu Benedict. The Sunrise Poutine was such a good twist on traditional poutine. I mean, tater tots topped with gravy and eggs? Ugh, sign me up!! It was delicious and definitely something I'd order again. I can say the same about the Yuzu Benedict. The yuzu sauce gave the salmon and eggs a really nice twist and added a bright flavor to what would otherwise be a more traditional Benedict. Really enjoyed this one! Not pictured, but I also had the lavender coffee, which I really enjoyed. It was a nice little addition to the meal. Overall, I had a great breakfast here and would definitely come back. There are still plenty of dishes I want to try, so I guess I'll have to make another stop next time I'm in town!

    The food was delicious! We really loved the Unagi Tornado Omurice--it was the perfect balance of salty, sweet, and everything nice. We also tried the Crunchy Mascarpone, which was definitely something different. The outside was super crunchy from the fried coating and cereal, while the mascarpone added a nice creamy contrast. The service was great, too. The staff was friendly, and the lady checking in on the tables and keeping everyone's water refilled was a nice touch. There is a pretty long wait, so I recommend going early, but the vibes are definitely worth it!

    A nice, bright spot with an innovative menu executed perfectly. This place is pretty popular with a decent wait time for a reason. The chicken & croffle were very flavorful and the lemon ricotta pancakes were light and soft. Definitely would come back.

    Ooooh, I absolutely loveee Asian brunches! This restaurant is on the smaller side, but they do offer outdoor seating as well. They get very busy, so be prepared to wait but trust me, they're definitely worth it! Here's what I ordered: Crunchy Mascarpone French Toast (5/5) Wowww. I don't have a huge sweet tooth, but I genuinely think I could've devoured this entire thing. The French toast was so fluffy and light, and the corn flakes added the perfect crunch and texture. Mmm... absolutely wonderful. Unagi Tornado Omurice (5/5) Yummm, I'm drooling just thinking about this. This dish was so flavorful, and the unagi was cooked perfectly. I don't know what the cooks are doing back there, but please don't stop because this was amazing. The only thing I wish it had was an option to make it spicyy, but that's just me. I'm a spicy girl and I like a little kick with almost everything. Gyu Garlic Rice (5/5) I only wish they had an option to add more ribeye because my husband could've definitely used more than the 6 oz portion. Other than that, this dish was incredibly flavorful and delicious. Honestly, I'm still impressed because every single dish we ordered blew me away. It's rare that every item hits, but they really nailed it here. Definitely coming back!

    Unagi tornado omurice
    Duane R.

    Nice addition to downtown Sac. Right off the bat - the unagi tornado omurice is worth a visit. It has great flavor and the combination of eggs, rice, ginger and unagi sauce is excellent. We also had the BLT - traditional BLT served on ciabatta with mustard aioli and a lavender latte. The service was solid but the food comes out when each dish is ready as opposed to together if you're in a group. Took a little longer for that unagi. Another random thing to point out is their bathroom was very well kept and actually smelled good. Many restaurants don't take the time to care for the bathroom so it's good to see.

    Tuesday breakfast

    So, this review shows reviews the steak bowl, but it was absolutely delicious. Sunny side was just one of those places I kept walking past after the Farmer's Market, nbut never ventured into because of the line. Anyway, I love a good ribeye, but thrown some asian flavors on it over rice with a slightly runny egg - I'm in! The dish was pure umami and sweet. It was such a heartwarming breakfast. It's a great location. Could be a move before or after the farmer's market, but it gets pack so be prepared to wait. It's a pretty simple atmosphere in my opinion. The service was quick and friendly. The rest of he menu looked on point. From what I can tell the rest of the patrons were raving about their meals. I think this might be an underrated breakfast spot. I will definitely be back to explore some of their other savory items, but I definitely want to try a sweet.

    Chicken & waffles
    Arielle G.

    I am about 5 months pregnant and craving something sweet and savory. The menu looked great - it was so difficult to pick just one entrée! My husband and I got the Waffle & Crispy Chicken and the Crunch Mascarpone and both just hit the spot! Waffle & Crispy Chicken - I really need to know what kind of seasoning is on this chicken because mMmMm MmmMm I'm almost drooling right now just thinking about it. The maple gochujang syrup was so interesting to me and was a great addition. Everything about this dish was LOVELY. Crunchy Mascarpone - Obviously I had to get the french toast stuffed with mascarpone, but dang, it's deep fried as well? HOW COULD YOU NOT? My husband was so surprised that they used legit kellogg's corn flakes in this dish. Service - 10/10. They were welcoming, there was no wait, and food came out quickly. We went on a Wednesday morning, so yea, it was pretty empty. Already counting down the days til I come back...

    Every time I come here I keep trying to try something different in the menu, I haven't been disappointed so far. This time came on a Monday morning for breakfast before having to drop a friend off at the airport. Immediately got a table for 2. Got the crab Benedict. My friend ordered the Korean chicken sandwich, he's from SoCal but he said he actually really enjoyed it. The staff are always so sweet and nice. It's such a cute place it's become one of my favorite places to go and recommend.

    Love this new place. They have Asian inspired breakfasts. Everything we tried was so good. Eggs Benedict, fried rice! Yum. We'll definitely go back. Hopefully no one has discovered this yet so it won't be too busy! Restaurant was nice and clean

    Johannah W.

    I love this place genuinely more than I can express with words! This place gets super busy so make sure you come early or bring your patience. Thankfully, we didn't have to wait and the food came out fresh and hot pretty quickly! We loved hanging out here, it is very comfortable and has a clean, country kitchen vibe. I loved my Jjapaguri and it paired perfectly with my matcha drink. My husband was obsessed with his Unagi Omorice. The unagi was literally perfect, tender yet crunchY! His bloody mary was also excellent! My kid loved his Korean Wings as well and inhaled them before I could get a full review! This place is literally a 10/10 and we can't wait for round 2!

    Top right: poutine; bottom: lemon pancakes; bottom right: french toast
    Yao C.

    Had the chance to try this spot on 19th street! I had really high expectations as the photos of the food looked great! We came during a weekday so it wasn't as busy, we came between breakfast and lunch before the lunch rush came! My advice, come around 10, u beat the breakfast rush and avoid lunch rush! Parking can be annoying as it's all street parking. Inside decor is cool as the place is modern with an open kitchen and high ceilings! Service was good, workers were friendly and professional! Angela helped us twice now, and she is awesome! She works hard as she's the only one taking orders and she hustles! Respect to Angela! For the food, we ordered the loco moco, with garlic fried rice and a delicious egg that surrounds the garlic fried rice! They used a wagu beef patty and it was a little over cooked but still had great flavor! The Garlic fried rice was delicious as well as the scrambled egg! Great combo! Definitely a must try! The unagi version is extremely popular and my pops loved it! The poutine was decent but not what I expected, good crispy tator tots, house sauce and a Fried egg! I was expecting gravy and those cheese curds but no thick gravy or cheese curds.... French toast was decent, expected it to be a little more soft or fluffier but it was a little more on the dryer side, good flavor but on the drier side! Lemon ricotta pancakes were probably the best ones I've tried! Fluffy, airy, lemon flavor was on point! Must try! The wealthy pig Benedict was great! Nice pieces of bacon, Avocado, and tomato with a house sauce and a poached egg! Excellent poached egg and it was over a sourdough break instead of English muffin! Also this spot has awesome coffee! The barista is awesome! One dude making all the drinks! He made my latte excellent twice now!! Overall, very happy with this spot! A must try!

    Had to try this new spot! Would give it a solid 3 out of 5. If you're really into Asian fusion I would def recommend to try it out, unfortunately my hubby and I both quickly picked typical brunch menu items and just wasn't super impressed! I think if we potentially stuck with the unique menu items with a flair of actual Asian fusion maybe we'd be more hyped. Service was great! Everyone was nice and attentive. There wasn't a long wait for us to take our order or receive our drinks and food. We got there around 8:45, and glad we did because we noticed only 1 table available. Then a rush showed up around 9. What we ordered: 2 coffees & waters, crispy Benedict, waffle & chicken complete meal.Don't be fooled by the "Sriracha hollandaise" description, it was literally like a dot on top. I was expecting more of a kick or for it to be combined. I think this place would be great to try for anyone who wants something new. But it's unfortunately not making it on my Fave brunch spots lists.

    Dog water bowl
    Lauren C.

    We came here after going to the farmer's market. They were pretty busy but luckily we were able to get patio seating quickly since we came with our dog. The staff was very kind and moved the umbrellas to keep us in the shade and they also immediately brought over a bowl of ice water for the pup. The unagi omurice was creamy with a nicely whipped egg and the unagi gave it a very savory umami flavor. The husband's Hilo Moco was also good, though a little salty. The bacon side and coffee were solid too. It is a bit pricey, but understandable for Midtown. We'll be back again though to explore more of the menu since we love that they are dog friendly and service was top notch!

    Cloudy early Thursday afternoon and a bit of chill in the air. Time for soup!…read more My server was very pleasant, kind, and patient in explaining the soup offerings since there were none on the menu. I opted for the sweet and sour Tom Son version. The broth was a delightful and tangy sweet and sour broth filled with mushrooms and other vegetables and shrimp, squid, and scallops. I added some rice which balanced out the sourness if the soup perfectly! The squid was a bit chewy but the shrimp and scallops were good. The cherry tomatoes - red and gold - retained their yummy flavors and added to the fullness of the broth. Overall, a very delicious bowl! My only complaint - wish the music had been a bit lower. My server checked on me frequently and was attentive to me and all of her customers. A nice place to come to warm up and feel welcomed.

    The Thai and Laotian food from here was pretty good!…read more My family and I shared the following dishes: -Thai Green Tea: Huge size! The drink was creamy and flavorful. Not too heavy. -Lao Sausage:: Meaty and I liked the flavor. It went well with the side sauce. I wish it came with more sticky rice though. -Chicken Larb: This was solid and I liked the tangy flavor. Portion size is pretty small though and only came with one cup of lettuce. -Lao Papaya Salad: Solid, but I've had better elsewhere. -Salmon Pad Thai: My favorite dish of the night! The best part were the salmon bites which were glazed in the sweet pad Thai sauce and had a crispy exterior and soft interior. Super delicious. -Khao Piak: Warm, thick, tangy, and comforting bowl of noodle soup. Overall, I enjoyed everything despite the smaller portion sizes for some of the dishes. The service here was pretty good and the interior was clean and cozy. Parking is street parking. A solid restaurant for Asian food in Sacramento.

For this visit, we had the following: Dishes - Ribeye steak and Vietnamese shaking beef, Crispy Fish Sauce chicken wings both served with red rice. Drinks - Kumquat lemongrass tea and coconut coffee Their food is really good, reasonably priced. Staff were attentive and friendly, definitely provided great service.

Weird choice by the chef.

Now unfortunately I did have to dock 1 star purely for the food because I would love for this restaurant to keep thriving and I would be so happy to come back again and give a higher rating! I'm a long term fan of Kru and Kodaiko so I was really excited for Chu Mai. My first time, I ordered the lobster shrimp cheong fun and this was bougie dish that I enjoyed! We also ordered the laksa pasta which was a seasonal item (unknownst to me) and even though our kind server told us it was spicy, my friend's and I were thinking we eat spicy korean food all the time, it'll be fine. It was not fine, it was really spicy BUT it was delicious. Picture 3 asian visibly sweating and going back for more while downing copious amount of water and eating the roasted cabbage as a palete/spice cleanser. I actually took some of the pasta home to share with my partner who also thought the flavor was sooo good and wanted to come here for our anniversary. I totally forgot to write a review back then, because I would have suggested an option small cup of coconut milk or broth that people can mix to make the curry less spicy. Now for our anniversary dinner, I want to restate, service was impeccable! They went above and beyond! I really enjoyed the Cà Ri Khaoi Taylor, I love me crispy potatoes! But unfortunately the Bún Riêu not only came a bit later than expected. It was also slightly undercooked so it made for a harder mouthful when I bit into the dry/raw pasta parts. Our amazing server offered to change the dish and we took the lobster dandan noodles to go since we were on a time crunch, so I didnt really eat the noodles super fresh. It was good but it didnt have the kick and enticing flavor that the laksha curry pasta had. So I mainly wanted to come here and praise the servers, but also bring up that yes the laksa pasta back! We can handle the spice!!
