Fantastic! What a great meal at sunny side. I love the Asian fusion idea, all of the options were freakin delicious and I can't wait to come back to try more. The lemon ricotta pancakes were absolutely perfect, crispy on the sides and fluffy in the middle with the right amount of lemon flavor. Also the service was incredible. We were helped by at least 3 different servers and all the food came out hot and fast. New favorite brunch spot. Food: 5 Service: 5 Ambiance: 4.5 Value: 4.2 Marcels foodie score: 4.7

Unagi tornado omurice
Emily C.

As soon as I saw there was an Asian fusion brunch spot I knew I had to try. This place did not disappoints and was pretty packed when I came in mid day on a weekday. The menu was so hard to choose from with many cool options. Asked the server and decided on the unagi tornado omurice and omg first off the colors and presentation was amazing. Unagi is tender, the sauce is super sweet but evens out with the tender fluffy egg and ginger rice. Meal will leave you happy and full.

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
Jerry H.

Second time here: - KP Wings are good (actually my favorite are the rice cakes in the dish... crispy style... nice). The wings looked kinda dark, but the soy garlic flavor was good. I prefer wings from other places, but still very good. - Poutine Potatoes: crispy tater tots with bacon, gravy, fried egg, and furakake toppings. Very nice. We got the gravy in the side (dipping them keeps them crispy) - Lemon Ricotta Pancakes: wonderfully crispy edges and light citrus flavor. Excellent if you are in the mood! - Chapaguri: okay, I watched a YouTube video of some expert chef make a dish using two ramen packaged products make a similar dish: mix the Korean chapaghetti with you favorite ramen and add toppings as desired. Well, this is that dish done right! (Tried it myself... not as good as Sunny Side's). Worth a try!

Unagi Tornado Omurice
Elaine Y.

Came to Sunny Side Breakfast after checking out a small art fair and left very satisfied! We shared the Unagi Tornado Omurice and the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and it was the perfect amount for two! Starting with the omurice, we really liked the layers of flavor with the sweet and savory rice, creamy egg, and tender sweet eel. The eel portion was also quite generous and there was enough to have some with every bite. As for the pancakes, they had that envious fluffy and chewy texture that you just can't recreate at home. The lemon flavor was also bright and zingy and paired well with the fresh summer fruits on the plate. All in all, great find in midtown. Pair it with the Midtown farmers market and you'll have a perfect Saturday morning in my opinion!

I walked in on Saturday morning around 10:30am, and luckily there was a table available! The restaurant is bigger in person than it looks online. Servers were very attentive. All the food we ordered was delicious! They were perfect portions for brunch. There is no parking nearby so do plan for that ahead. Note- bottomless mimosas are timed and moderated for one hour.. and they are on that!

Chicken apple patties
Anastasia C.

I totally get the hype now. We went on a Friday afternoon and it was packed, so I was expecting a bit of a wait. The iPad estimated 26 minutes, but we were seated in less than 10. Huge win when you're dining with a kid! The staff was friendly, attentive, and everything felt organized despite how busy it was. I also loved being able to see into the open kitchen. The whole restaurant feels bright, welcoming, and has a fun modern vibe. Our favorite dish was probably the Tornado Unagi. The flavors were amazing and the ginger fried rice was such a unique touch. The Hilo Moco was also delicious with a thick wagyu patty and rich mushroom gravy. My son loved the lemon ricotta pancakes, especially the cute bear face and fresh fruit. And the coconut latte? So good. I'd honestly stop in just for that. We also tried the chicken apple patties and they were way more flavorful than I expected. I'm going to try and make them at home lol We'll definitely be back. One of those places where every dish made us want to come back and try more of the menu.

Breakfast fusion? Yes please. I ordered the bacon, avocado & tomato benedict and it delivered -- really solid flavors, the kind of breakfast that makes you wish you hadn't made afternoon plans. The latte was great too, which honestly completes the whole experience. Service was friendly and efficient without being rushed, which is exactly the energy you want at a breakfast spot. Would definitely come back next time I'm in Sacramento.

Crunchy mascarpone
George V.

I was looking for a breakfast place to take my mother out on for motherday week. Found this place on yelp with decent reviews and decided to give it a try. When we first got there, it was pretty busy. I believe they were short staffed because there was only one lady taking orders while another bringing the food to each table. Our server seem to be in a rush (which I get since she is the only one serving) so I am not all upset at the fact that our water wasn't refilled when we were eating. The issue that I do have was after ee got done ordering and the lady server said "Give me your menus". It totally threw me off because it came off pretty rude. I would say that there are better ways and friendlier ways to saying things because it kind of ruined the whole breakfast experience for me. We ordered a couple of things; Piggy scramble egg, wealthy pig Benedict, unagi tornado omurice, crunchy mascarpone, and their sunrise poutine. The piggy scrable egg was probably the best item between everything. All the stuff they had with the egg were delicious tasting. The wealthy pig benedict was alright. The holladaise sauce was citrusy which was not something I was use to. The tomatoes that came with this dish was not thr best tasting. It was a bit bitter. The side of potatoes was pretty good though. The unagi omarice was okay. I think you would have to like eel to like this dish. The crunchy mascarpone was decent. It had some nice sauce in the middle with a crunchy out part. I was not much of a fan of the extra crunchy outer parts. The worst dish they had has to be the sunshine poutine. They overcooked the tatertots to the point where it felt like eating deep fried chips. The gravy it had was non existent. Overall experience was 3 out of 5 stars. There are always room for improvements.

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.

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.

Yuzu benedict
Lili M.

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!

French toast
Allison L.

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.

Omurice
Kimberly N.

Stopped in for breakfast while friends met us in downtown Sacramento and so glad we did. The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were generous. I ordered the omurice and it was packed with flavor. My husband and I love finding great breakfast spots this one did not disappoint. The staff was friendly, service was quick, and everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area!

The location was a bit odd, as there were barely any other businesses nearby. There is street parking that you can pay for. It's a fairly small restaurant. We were were seated pretty quickly. Service was very friendly. I would say that portions were pretty reasonable. Things we ordered: -Pineapple fried rice: Very fragrant with the char and flavorful. Seasoned very well. We opted for mild spice on this. I would order this again. -Chicken pad thai: Done very well! Some places the pad thai is too sweet, but this one was very balanced and had a good tamarind flavor. Medium spicy was a bit on the spicy side, but perfect for me! Would order this again. -Duck larb: Unique, but I couldn't tell it was duck. My partner enjoyed this more than I did. The portion for the larb was on the smaller side and it came with some lettuce, radish, carrots, cucumbers. -Mee kati ground pork: A very unique dish that not many Thai restaurants seem to have, in which it came with noodles, and a variety of toppings like beans sprouts, lettuce, green beans, peanuts, and cilantro. It came with a fermented curry gravy, and it delicious! I would totally order this again. -Green Thai tea: Quite fragrant and not too full on half and half like some other places have it. It's also not as sweet as another local Thai restaurant. I would actually order this again. -Classic Thai tea: Strong Thai tea flavor, also not too sweet. Overall, Hiso was a great Thai/Lao restaurant and I would totally come back and recommend this place!

The red curry was really good imo but my husband said it could have been thicker and more flavorful. The pad thai was decently spicy for a medium rating. Very good flavor and I would say one of the better pad thais you can get in Sacramento. Not overly saucy like in some places. We also ordered the Tum Luang Pra Bang, green papaya salad with fermented fish sauce. I will say, the execution and the quality of ingredients were superb, I personally couldn't get past the flavor, but my mom, a stronger SEA woman, loved it! The staff was very nice and polite. The ambiance was very cute, gave cafe/small restaurant vibes. I have been in the area for awhile and this place has been a revolving door of restaurants. I hope this one sticks!

I came in on a Monday around 11:40 am, was seated right away since I was the first customer, and my food came out in less than 10 minutes. The ambiance was simple with some greenery. The waitress was tentative and so kind. I believe her and the nice gentleman are the owners, I could be wrong. I ordered the sushi tacos - unagi, ebi, and sake. It was a major flavor explosion in my mouth and I can't wait to go back!! Thanks to TikTok, I had to try this. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!! Oh, I took the unagi to-go because I was so full but ai suggest you eat it right away because the shell will get soft. I still downed it though, so yummy!!

Cute little restaurant basically in its own little plaza (I believe there's an auto shop or some…read morekind of shop next to it). Limited parking space in the front, but there's some more spaces in the back. Friendly service. My friend got the strawberry matcha and it looked really good. We tried the: Sake (salmon) sushi taco, 7.5/10 Katsu Don, 9/10 Gyudon, 7/10 Flavors of the food were good and the house made chili oil was a nice touch as well. The gyudon was a bit on the dry and chewy side, but other than that, still enjoyed my visit.

I love this place! The food is tasty and the staff is friendly. I go here whenever I was Vietnamese…read morefood but something different than most pho places. I also always take friends and family visiting here and it never disappoints. The yelp wait is pretty accurate, so I recommend joining before you head over to avoid having to wait there. Last time I went and checked, it was about an hour wait so I joined it and did some grocery shopping nearby before going there. I've had everything on the menu so it's up to the point where it depends on what I'm feeling. Everything on the menu is different so it's not too hard to choose. If I want something soupy, I'll go for the crab udon, if I want rice, the fried rice, something full of flavor, the Banh Mi Chao, something light, then the Banh Khot (good option since they don't make Banh Xeo on the weekends). The last time I went 07/04/2026, I noticed on the wall they were having a special, Bun Bo Hue, which I love when I go to pho restaurants. I'm not sure if it's new or I've been blind this whole time, but it did not disappoint. It was full of flavor, and it was nice that they put the spicy paste on the side for you to adjust the spiciness. I love spicy foods but one of my friends do not, so it was easy for us to enjoy our meal. It was also not just a spicy sauce to add; there was a past along with it. Shrimp paste maybe? I didn't ask, but it enhanced the flavor, so I recommend using it. Their sister restaurant, Me's Kitchen is next on my list to try. Can't wait!

Yes, today was our first. I'm a sucker for excellent customer service and Cafe Burma and Mikayla had me at HELLO. LOL NOTE: I DIDN'T DO ANY PRE- REVIEW UPON ARRIVING. The husband wanted a Monday Date night and who am I to say No. What we had: *Planta with Chicken Coconut Dip. This planta is a crossover of naan with Mochi like middle with the prefect crisp served with an amazing Chicken sauce. Yah...will be having this again. Hubby had most of it because I was saving my appetite for what's to come. *TeaLead Salad - Yes its a MUST. The fried seasoned garlic is the secret to why this salad hits the palate in the most perfect way. The dressing is oil based which wasn't over powering or even greasy. The peanut was tastefully done. Yes - I ate most of it. Fresh ingredients in every bite. *Chili Basil Beef - at first glance, it looked like Mongolian Beef but far from the taste. The cumin, ginger and chili flakes gave this dish the wow factor. Mind you, I dislike ginger pieces and didn't come across one piece so they must have used ginger powder which I appreciate. We all know the benefits of ginger and I feel like I got a dose of it without biting into one. *PadThai - we were warned that the Burmese way come with a hint of sweetness and this was definitely true but notoverpowering. Husband enjoyed it, me not so much. The dishes came with extra large prawns. You can tell the prawns we're seasoned first hand before getting tossed into the mix. DRINKS: Husband had the coconut monsoon (rum with coconut flakes and I had Bite Dog HAZY IPA - yum. Prime location - corner of 16th street and J, street parking. Restaurant was clean and with a bar and open kitchen concept. What I would have liked: I wish the aesthetic of the restaurant showcased the culture. Wish the dishes were served in a more traditional serving plates. My eyes eat first so I would have appreciated the extra touch but the TASTE definitely made up for it. Will definitely be back! Need to try a dessert next time. Thanks for having us Chef Burma.

Kado Asian Fusion has been on my list to try for a while. I've been following them on social media…read moreand have read the reviews on Yelp and was so excited to finally try it out. The restaurant is super cute and has indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is covered and shaded which is perfect for warmer Sacramento months. They have a variety of menu items including a build your own bowl opton, tacos, nachos,sandwiches, loaded fries, musubi and an udon special. I ended up ordering the Umami Udon with special chicken as my protein ($13.50), a Build Your Own Bowl with fried rice, katsu chicken, the triple katsu sauce, and stir fried veggies with "The Works" ($16.50), and Musubi ($8.75). The staff was super friendly and helped me make some decisions for my order and recommended the umami udon special, which I'm so happy about. The food was made fresh and took a little bit, but was packed with care and was nice and hot. I took it home to enjoy and the food was still hot and the portion sizes were really generous. The Umami Udon was amazing, it had perfectly cooked udon noodles that had a great chew in a creamy teriyaki sauce with smokey bacon, mushrooms, onions and garlic. It was a great mix of sweet and savory and lived up to it's umami name. I would order this again and again, it was so good. The Build Your Own bowl was also delicious and I can see why the chicken katsu is a customer favorite. The veggies were fresh and the fried rice was really flavorful. The Spam Musubi had thick slices of spam with a nice marinade and came with sauces for dipping. I'll definitely be back again soon, and while I want to explore more of the menu the umami udon is happening again!
