Food was delicious! My buddy and I ordered the Redang curry (I think that's how it spelled), and longanisa bowls. Would definitely recommend both. Shoutout to Ary who was our server! She made our breakfast experience enjoyable and worthwhile. I appreciate her friendliness, personality, and professionalism. Thank you Ary. We'll be back again read more

went here like 3 times in 2 weeks when in town. the service is phenomenal and the staff is so friendly. first day: sweet pandan tea (refillable) and freaking delicious GOAT (without cheese) - it was so large and filling. at first I thought it was just okay but getting to the tomatoes was amazing! side order of swai - texture was perfect but a bit salty side order of garlic spinach - lots of garlic but a bit salty! side order of fries - LOVE cloud berry pancake - good! but not as great as I remembered, possibly only because I've passed out of my pancake phase second day: spam bowl - this was good! I guess I just don't like spam as much as I used to though side of swai (lightly seasoned) - perfect! would order again more pandan sweet tea! the cloud pancake again - the whipped cream was better this time but I'm not sure why? maybe it was fresh pandan biscoff cookie (vegan!!!) - AMAZING I loved it third day: side order of French fries - STILL SO GOOD swai (lightly seasoned) bowl - sooo goood side order of tofu and mushrooms - this killed it. this is my favorite dish for sure! smores cookie - worth coming back to try thank you Ari! more pandan sweet tea milo dinosaur - this was good but took away from my pandan sweet tea stomach space I wish this was in Irvine but perhaps it's best it isn't read more

Pros: - Good service - Food tastes pretty good. Kids really enjoyed their food. - They are good about explaning allergies and asking questions about possible cross-contact - Presentation is pretty - They messed up but fixed it and offered a discount which was nice of them Cons: - Water is lukewarm unless you ask for ice - It echos in there and is kind of warm - The dished could have each been a little better, imo. I think a sunny side up egg would have elevated the fries. The kimchi fried rice was missing aromatics and sesame seed oil. The texture of the cloud pancake isn't as fluffy and wiggly as souffle pancakes. read more

Take Ur Seat - Belly 2 Belly Rice - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chino Hills, California

This is one of the only places around the area that serve cloud pancakes. They have rotating flavors each month and we tried the flavor of the month - peach. It was delicious with the crunchy pecans on top. The only downside was that the cream on top was melted by the time it got to our table so we had to order a side for $2. Would recommend asking for the cream on the side if you like to dip your pancake in it or else it will come like melted butter on top. Also got the longanisa bowl to-go and subbed the spinach for mushroom (+$3). Portion was small but it was tasty. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for some unique brunch items! read more

Take Ur Seat - Flavor of the Month Pecan Pancakes! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chino Hills, California

I had lunch at Take Ur Seat last Friday with my coworker, who treated me for my birthday. We were seated promptly upon arrival around 12:30 PM. I ordered the Belly 2 Belly Rice ($18), which was absolutely delicious. It came with roasted pork belly, a poached egg, sautéed spinach, onions, and rice, it's a perfect combination of flavors and textures. The Basque Cheesecake ($8.95) was rich, creamy, and so yummy. But the highlight for me was the Cloud Pancake! it was incredibly fluffy and delicious. This has officially become my favorite item here and is a must-try! The service was excellent! Our server was very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. After she learned it was my birthday, she surprised us with a complimentary pancake, which was such a thoughtful gesture and totally unexpected. I will definitely come back to try more dishes and would happily recommend Take Ur Seat to my friends! read more

It's now 1:45PM and I've already found another spot to eat but thought I should share that TakeUrSeat Chino would not allow a party of 2 to join the wait-list while there were available tables both inside and outside and only two people waiting to be seated and the hostess said it's because they are backed up. To drive all the way here (40 minutes drive) and arrive with more than an hour of time before closing and being told it's not possible to order seems very confusing from a customer's perspective. Are they also blocking post mate and Uber eats orders? I think I might take a break from TakeUrSear Chino location for a while. read more

I really, really love this place! The line was kinda long, but honestly that's expected from a place this good. The omelette kimchi rice was sooo good, and the service was great too. My only little thing was that the panda sweet tea was slightly too sweet for me, BUT omg the free refills make up for it. It's almost an hour drive for me and I would 100% do it again. Definitely worth the drive and the wait! read more

Take Ur Seat - TUS Breakfast Sandwich Spanish Latte RENDAAAANG CURRY RICE BOWL - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chino Hills, California

I hate to leave 3 stars for any place, especially for a place where it's not necessarily the service was the issue! I think if anything, it's more like a 3.5/5 My boyfriend and I came on a Monday around 11:20AM. I had joined the waitlist on yelp and checked in when we arrived. They offered to seat us outside, but it was kinda chilly that day so we opted to just wait for a seat to open up, which was about 10-15mins. Upon being seated, she informed us of their souffle pancake, which is what they were known for before leaving us to browse the menu. I was super excited to try it since this is all I've heard about this restaurant. We were kinda left there for a while before a gentleman came to take our order. We ordered the spam musubi, their seasonal strawberry cheesecake cloud souffle pancake, and TUS breakfast sandwich subbing fries for home fries, and a cup of orange juice. Orange juice: I love me a cup of freshly squeezed oj and not many places have them (typically it it tastes like bottled oj). BUT!!!! this oj as 100% freshly squeezed and it was soooo good. If you like freshly squeezed oj and crave that natural sweetness, this is a must. Spam musubi: very flavorful! I really liked the sauce they used for the inside it and it was a great way to start the meal. The downside is that the spam slice was pretty thin and the musubi itself did fall apart pretty easily, which made it very messy to eat. TUS breakfast sandwich: the sandwich had great flavor and was huge. My boyfriend really enjoyed it and found it to be very filling. I liked the home fries a lot, seasoned very well and so crispy. Strawberry cheesecake cloud pancake: I won't lie...I was kinda disappointed with this. It was a huge portion, which is good if you want to have your money's worth. The strawberry flavor was pretty subtle and it tasted more like strawberry pocky. The pancakes themselves were pretty dense and not as airy as I would prefer it though, so I was full after like 1.5 pieces. The cream on the pancakes was a good balance though so it wasn't too sweet. It also had cheesecake bits, which was good too. Overall, the food was just okay. I think if I were to come back, I'd probably get something else. As to why I had take away some stars, the wait for the pancakes were kinda insane. I think it was like 15 mins? and I wouldn't mind had I been told how long it would take, my bf was already halfway done with his meal by the time my order came. On top of that, another group of two that came in after us was able to get their orders and finish before the pancakes came out....which kinda made me feel like were forgotten, especially because no one came to update me. It was also kinda difficult to wave someone down since no one really walked by us. When we were ready to pay, we waited like ten minutes for the check to come out. Only after locking eyes with one of the servers did they finally come to tell us that they were working on the check and was running into issues. Again, another instance in which early communication would've been appreciated vs letting us just sit there and wonder what was going on. Don't get me wrong, they were very nice and accommodating (the table behind us had an antsy baby and they were able to accommodate them and moved them to a bigger table/space). However, the lack in communication about orders and issues did sour this experience. I hope that they're able to improve on that so customers can make informed decisions (such as not ordering the souffle pancakes if they're in a time crunch). read more

This place seems to be always busy even on a Monday afternoon. The inside seating area is very small. We chose to be seated outside in their small patio since there is no wait for outside seating. We had their Berry Cloud pancake and Big Five breakfast. The berry cloud pancakes were soft and fluffy just as advertised. It is served with whipped cream, strawberries, blueberries and a side of fruit preserves. It is like a cross between an Asian sponge cake and pancake. It was delicious all by itself without the fruit preserves. The Big Five breakfast item was also good. I especially liked the Longanisa sausage. We also had an iced Americano and a hot Americano. Both coffee were no good. We did not liked the taste of their coffee. No amount of creamer can make it taste better. Their coffee was the worst part of our meal. We will not be ordering their coffee again. Overall service was good. Servers were friendly and attentive. read more

I'm quite disappointed that I didn't have the experience I was hoping for. Quite a few people recommended this place to me. I wasn't feeling well enough to go to work, so I decided to buy some breakfast one day to eat something good and get some rest. I did a phone order and the person working that day convinced me to try their seasonal apple cloud cakes and I also got a pandan coffee. Drove over to pick up the food. I watched my order get packed and noticed the cashier asked the cook about some item in my order. Sure enough when I got home, no apples in my cakes at all and the coffee wasn't good. I decided to give them a call and a different employee than the one in person picked up. I shared that part of the order was missing and the coffee wasn't good. She went back and forth with another person and then told me next time I come in and order other stuff they will give me the apples for free. Next time? Lmao that was their initial offer... that I would get a side of apples with whatever I was going to order the next time I come in. I said no. Eventually someone else came on the phone and was willing to offer a full refund because both items I ordered were not up to par. That is probably the reason why I would give them another try, but I will dine in next time. However, they seem to be pretty busy so I would think twice about the wait. I appreciate the refund though. read more

Take Ur Seat - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chino Hills, California

Tried a few dishes here and overall it was a really good experience. The place definitely leans into that trendy brunch vibe, but the food actually backs it up. Avocloudo Toast - 5/5 This was the highlight. The toast was perfectly crisp, avocado was fresh and creamy, and the egg on top tied everything together. Simple but done right, which is harder than it looks. Berry Cloud - 4.5/5 Super soft and fluffy, almost melts in your mouth. The cream and berries balanced it out nicely without being too sweet. Only thing is I wish there was a little more fruit, but still really enjoyable. TUS Breakfast Sandwich - 4/5 A solid, filling option. The bun was soft, everything tasted fresh, and the fries were well seasoned. Nothing overly unique, but definitely satisfying. read more

Take Ur Seat - French toast with a side of spam - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chino Hills, California

I have been wanting to go to this place for years after so many recommendations. This place definitely lives up to the hype! We did a girls brunch. I would recommend getting there before 9:55am on a Sunday. The lines really take off at 10am. It's a small space and no waitlist on the weekend from that we saw. The TUS sauce is fire! (Get the fries) The breakfast sandwich and Rendaang Curry Rice Bowl were also Fantastic! The G.O.A.T was alright. The drinks were fine but nothing that blew my mind. So excited to go back and try other items such as creme brûlée French toast. Almost forgot the Cloud Pancake was good but nothing my preference. The combo was great but the pancakes are just not me. read more

Parking: I came here after a hike around noon on a weekend. The parking lot was actually pretty crowded even though it was a big lot. You can probably get parking more easily if you park a bit farther away from the restaurant. Exterior: There were some benches outside for people waiting. Unfortunately for me, it was a pretty warm day and there wasn't any shade. Interior: The restaurant is a decent size but it was very busy so it felt a bit crowded. Service: I waited for about an hour for a table. The waitress was very nice and came to check up on us a couple of times. Food: I got the Tip Me Over Plate which came with a tri tip in chimichurri sauce, eggs, tomatoes, potatoes, and fruits. Unfortunately, my steak was overcooked. The tomatoes, potatoes, and eggs that came with it were alright. Fruits were just a little cup of pineapples. Overall the meal did not really stand out to me so I do not think it was worth the hour long wait. read more

Take Ur Seat - Tip Me Over Plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chino Hills, California

Saw Take Ur Seat and the soufflé pancakes definitely called to me. As such, we signed up for the waitlist and headed over to reduce our wait....or so we thought. Upon arriving, we were waitlist #3 but noticed it never improved so we went to ask the host and was informed that they had called our table but we didn't respond so they moved on. What?! Why turn on waitlist if you weren't going to use it properly! We were informed that we would now have to wait 45 minutes because we are at the back of the list (mind you, still being #3) so we pretty much decided to give up. After expressing some frustration we decided to leave but just after turning out of the lot, Take Ur Seat called us and suddenly made a table available. Weird? Upon sitting down we immediately put in the order for the soufflé pancakes and ordered some coffees. The lattes came out first but were kind of lukewarm and the house coffee required a couple follow-ups. Refills also required a lot of asking. Service wasn't the best, if you haven't realized it yet. When it came to our meal, the pork belly bowl was properly delicious and we also really enjoyed both soufflé pancakes. The crème brûlée French toast was also a hit with the kids. So while the food was as good as expected, the overall experience with service was just a little meh overall. read more

Came here after a short hike in Chino Hills and it did not disappoint, it has a very modern approach but its delicious! I did not get to try their super fluffy hot cakes but that was only because I was so full from their eggs and potatoes . The potatoes are crunchy and their eggs are so rich in flavor. I ordered an orange juice because it was a hot day and it did not disappoint. service is amazing, everyone is so quick to assist and make sure you are well taken care of. The seating arrangements are a little tight but it give you room to conversate with others. Will come back when back in the area. read more

Waited an hour on a Saturday afternoon, and honestly, it wasn't worth the hype. I'd give it a 3.5 if I could, but it's definitely not a 4-star experience. The food was hit or miss. Pandan Latte was extremely sweet. I could only catch a tiny hint of pandan flavor; it felt more like drinking liquid sugar. The Tip Me Over plate was just okay steak had no flavor besides from the chimichurri sauce, and the Belly 2 Belly rice lacked the flavor you'd expect from pork belly. The biggest letdown was the Berry Cloud Pancake--it was dry, had almost no flavor, and didn't have that light, airy soufflé texture at all. The saving grace was the Crème Brûlée French Toast, which was easily the best dish on the table. If you must go, stick to that, but I wouldn't wait an hour for it again. read more

Paid a visit to take ur seat during for weekend brunch, and it was about an hour wait until we got seated. You can't join the wait-list via yelp, as you'll only be able to join once you arrive. Service was great, as staff were friendly, helpful, and constantly checking up on us. As for food, we tried a couple of dishes, which were pretty good. We got the belly2belly bowl, which came with spinach, pork belly and a poached egg over rice. The pork belly sauce over the rice was really tasty and the sides were delicious, although I was hoping for a more tender pork belly. We also tried the U2 cheesy, which was essentially a grilled cheese and fries. Good, but nothing to write home about. The last item was the berry good cloud pancake, which was delicious and there's a reason it's one of their top dishes. It comes with three soft and fluffy souffle pancakes and a side of berry compote and some fruit. From what Ive heard, the souffle pancake is a difficult technique to master and they do it well. Do note that the pancake will take 25-30 mins (which the server warns you about). As for ambiance, it was nice and lively (although a bit crowded for my tastes). Overall, a nice brunch spot in the IE. read more

This was my second time coming here, and I absolutely love this brunch spot! The restaurant is on the smaller side, so I've had to wait about 40 minutes each time, but the food and customer service make it 100% worth it. The first time I visited, I had to sit outside, and the staff even brought out a fan to help keep the flies away, which I thought was such a thoughtful touch. So far, I've tried the longanisa bowl, fluffy ube mango pancakes, pork belly bowl, and chicken bowl, and every dish has been delicious. I especially love that the fluffy pancakes aren't overly sweet, so they're perfectly balanced. My favorite dish is definitely the longanisa bowl. I also got the Pandan latte, in which I wasn't a big fan of. read more

Take Ur Seat - Berry Good Cloud, Belly 2 Belly Rice, Tip Me Over PLATE - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chino Hills, California

I went on a Sunday morning. After signing up on the Yelp wait-list around 11 am, my party of 2 waited about 30-35 minutes. There was an outside waiting area in front of the restaurant, which was much appreciated. We ordered the Berry Good Cloud Pancake, the Belly 2 Belly rice, the pandan sweet tea, and the cookie butter. The waitress informed us the pancakes will take 30 minutes to prepare, but they are able to bring our rice bowl and drinks early. They also provided us extra plates for sharing as well. The waiter and waitresses also were attentive and provided water when our cups were empty and took away our dirty plates quickly. The overall service was great. Onwards to the food, the Pandan Sweet Tea was very sweet. It was actually too sweet for my pallet, but I can taste the Pandan flavors. The Belly 2 Belly rice was delicious. The pork belly was fatty and crisp, providing great texture and flavors. The spinach helps balance out the dish's richness. Finally, the star of the show, the pancakes. These were the best souffle pancakes I've had. Delicate and fluffy, and the pancakes were the perfect sweetness. Add on the fresh berries, the pancakes were the best way to end the meal. All in all, I would love to revisit Take Ur Seat again one day. read more

Visited once back in 2020 and have wanted to go back but it's always packed. Was able to visit during the week and there was no wait. Started to fill up around noon but not too crowded. The spot isn't very big but there is in and outdoor seating. Staff were very friendly and chatted with us about menu items and our new baby. They had a special posted on Instagram (if you liked the post, showed it to server, and said secret word you got a cloud pancake free!), for a free Cookies N Scream pancake for the month of October and I was thrilled since I've been wanting to try their cloud pancakes. It didn't disappoint. Fluffy and delicious - didn't remind me of a pancake at all. My boyfriend ordered the TUS Breakfast Sandwich and it looked great and came with a ton of delicious fries covered in tasty seasoning. I opted for the Tofu Mushroom Bowl which was out of my comfort zone since I've never had eggs with rice. Glad I did because yum! And the tofu was seasoned perfectly. We also got a drip coffee and it was cold an iced Spanish latte that didn't have much flavor. Womp womp. I'm not sure if food always takes a long time to come out, but we waited quite some time. To took nearly 30 mins and had to scarf it down because we had an appointment after. Expected it to be quicker since we put in our order before the crowd came in. read more

Bakers and Baristas really knows how to make brunch feel special. I kicked things off with their Mexican Sidecar, a double shot of espresso with cooked whiskey syrup (no alcohol). It was smooth, rich, and had just the right amount of sweetness. Honestly, it's the kind of drink that wakes you up in the best way. We decided to share the Cookies M Scream Pancakes as our "appetizer" and it was the best decision ever. Fluffy cloud pancakes topped with milk tea cream, crushed Oreos, and fresh strawberries, each bite was soft, sweet, and a little playful. It disappeared from the table pretty quickly. I went with the Tip Me Over Plate, charbroiled tri tip with bright, herby chimichurri sauce, eggs, (perfectly cooked), roasted tomatoes, and crispy home fries. Everything was seasoned perfectly and came together beautifully. It felt like comfort food with a little extra love. The service was so friendly and welcoming, and the ambiance had that cozy, cheerful vibe that makes you want to stay and sip your coffee a little longer. (Which we did). If you're looking for a brunch spot that delivers both flavor and fun, this is it. Bakers and Baristas is definitely going on my "come back soon" list. read more
