Take Ur Seat is sooo good, but be ready for a wait cause we waited almost an hour! The food makes it worth it! The cloud pancakes were AMAZING, super fluffy & honestly worth the 30+ min wait alone. We also got the kimchi fried rice, which was packed with flavor and so satisfying! Menu is solid, everything we tried hit. Can't wait to come back! So cutest inside! 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've been wanting to try Take Ur Seat for a while, so I was excited to finally check it out. It's definitely a popular spot in Chino Hills, and there's usually a wait. You check in using a kiosk at the entrance, which is simple enough, but just a heads up--there's no real waiting area inside. Seating outside is very limited, and there's little to no shade, so be prepared if you're coming during warmer hours. The menu has a wide variety of options, which was promising. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the hype for me. Everything we tried came out pretty bland and lacked the flavor I was expecting, especially given how busy the place is. Overall, I really wanted to like this spot, but it just didn't meet my expectations--and for the wait, it didn't feel worth it. read more

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

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

This was a solid brunch spot. The fries were pretty good, crispy, wished for more seasoning but the sauce was super duper fire. The pork belly was good too, nice mix of fatty and lean pieces. The crispy onions on top were probably the best part. Poached egg was decent too. Just a bit pricey for my liking but overall pretty good. read more

I recommend the Take Your Seat Bowl, which comes with rice, egg, veggie, and your choice of protein. Very kid-friendly with a large outdoor patio and cute kid drinks like Milo Dinosaur.

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

We were on the way to SD and I came across this breakfast spot. Reviews were good the food looked good and they have the Japanese Fluffy Pancakes! We ordered 3 dishes for 2 ppl - Longanisa with Garlic Rice ( delicious, longanisa is a little spicy, but the flavors were on point! -Crème Brûlée French Toast - Please order this and thank me later... we fought over the last piece! lol - Blueberry Lemon Ricotta fluffy pancake- It looked great. But I was disappointed in the fluffiness. I could taste the batter, I felt like it wasn't cooked all the way through. Maybe I just got an off batch. That was the only item we had left over of. I would absolutely go back. The service was great... everyone was extremely friendly! read more

Take Ur Seat - Pork Belly 2 Belly Rice & Cloud pancakes with strawberries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chino Hills, California

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

Super cute brunch place! You can put your name on the yelp waitlist if it's still open. We sat outside, but they have heaters if needed. Inside is super cute. Servers were so nice and patient with their recommendation. I came here to catch up with a few friends and they were quite busy, we took a while since we were chit chatting, and I love that they let us take our time and did not kick us out. (I feel like nowadays i've been getting kicked out for talking for too long and not eating my food lol..) Everything we ordered was delicious.. we shared them and I can't recommend one over the other - Berry Good Cloud Pancake , Tip Me Over Plate, Belly 2 Belly 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

This is a loooong overdue review for the brunch spot that's putting Chino Hills on the map. When I think OG cloud pancakes before the hype even started in SoCal, I think Take Ur Seat. Filipino-inspired? Indonesian-inspired? God-inspired? Whatever they're doing, they're doing it right. How you have a line out the door every time with that many people and somehow still make me feel like family? It's part of the magic being there. You feel at home and you truly feel the love. Belly 2 Belly's been my go-to but I swear everything there is chef's kiss. It's no wonder they pack the house out every weekend. This place is primed for it, from their atmosphere to their hearty meals. Local Coffee came outta here too, setting yet another golden standard in ultimate brunch spots to visit. They ain't your mediocre diner coffee, trust me on that. Take Ur Seat has been so successful in their initial run, they expanded to like.. 5 more locations around LA and SB county. I seen em featured on IG a handful of times too. On my bias though, the OG Chino Hills location will always be the most special. And maybe because it's the one closest to me. But to all of TUS management, thanks for creating something special here in IE. Pretty soon, the whole world gon' learn. read more

Great place to have breakfast after a hike. We arrived at around 10am and there was quite a bit of a wait but we didn't mind. When it was our turn they sat us out in the patio. It was cold but thankfully they turned on a heater next to our table. Staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel very comfortable right away. My wife accidentally spilled her latte and it got everywhere sadly. Our waitress rushed over with paper towels (I cleaned it though because it was our mess) and didn't make us feel some type of way for spilling it. Also, she immediately brought out another latte, free of charge. So nice! Our food did take long to come out but we also did not mind. It was very busy and we were informed our pancakes were going to take some time since they were very thick/fluffy. Totally fine, we appreciated them letting us know and coming back every once in a while to update us on how much time was left before our meals were ready. My wife got the tiramisu cloud pancakes, I got the berry good cloud pancakes, and our nephew got the tip me over plate. Everything was delicious! Pancakes were so fluffy, that whipped cream stuff was yummy as well - fruit was fresh; yeah we enjoyed it. And we tried some of the meat and potatoes from the tip me over plate -- yeah I'm getting that next time. All in all we had a great time here and loved what we ate. Thank you Take Ur Seat! read more

Cute little restaurant. I tried the Japanese style pancake, super fluffy. The server was nice. Not a big place so plan accordingly.

Saw it on TIkTok so, we had to cone down. specifically for the pineapple upside down pancakes. Cozy lil store front so you may want to get there as they open because THEY DO get packed fairly quickly. The 4 stars is because of the wait JUST for the fluffy pancakes. Not sure if its supposed to take about 30 minutes(?) for it to come out but thats how long it took. ANYWHO, IF you like eggs, this is a MUST TRY! Its delicious!!! If you dont , be warned its made with egg whites. Try to yourself! read more

Take Ur Seat - Pineapple upsidedown fluffy pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chino Hills, California

Take Ur Seat keep growing with multiple branches. I believe this is the original place with the main Chef/Owner. There is always line up during meal time. They don't do diners. There is Yelp waitlist but mostly onsite, not working online from app. They serve brunch 7 days a week. We ordered the Rendang and Longanisa rice bowl. Portion to price might be on the higher end for $18. Longanisa was tasty and hit the spot. The rendang curry has completely different interpretations and taste. Not your typical South East Asian style. The meat was tender. The sauce was on lighter side. The sambal hit the spot and complement the meal. Nice small ambiance at the corner of the shopping with some patio dining. read more

Came to visit with family friends for a Birthday brunch. There are a few locations and this one was a centralized meeting point. Located right off the 71 fwy right behind September's taproom. Plenty of parking right in front. They close a little bit earlier great to enjoy breakfast or brunch. Place was packed inside and outside patio with 30-40 min wait time on a Sunday morning. The cloud pancakes were nice & fluffy like soufflés. Berries and cream with strawberry, raspberry compote. The breakfast options were amazing! The drip coffee excellent! Service was so attentive, friendly, accommodating, over the top! All the staff here are hard working for their guests. Exceeded our expectations thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Started off with my kind server MK. She gave me time to work through their menu. The menu is not very large, but kind of sexy. Cloud pancakes that are puffy fluffy. Some mixes of Asian spices and some chimchurri on some dishes. I arrived for breakfast so I chose the Take UR Seat breakfast sandwich. It arrived and looked great. The sandwich tastes good but the lemon vibe on the arugula was odd, and threw me off. If that's your vibe, enjoy. Fries were cooked well and the sweet tea was very sweet,,,as it should be. Cool little spot. Support locals like this one. I'd come back with the wife. read more

Take Ur Seat - Berry good cloud pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chino Hills, California

They don't take reservations, but you can join the waitlist at the kiosk when you arrive. The quoted wait time is often inaccurate since many people leave without updating the system. We were told 60 minutes but got a table call in 20--don't be too discouraged by the estimated wait times. However, for the food do expect a wait. I came solely for the berry cloud pancakes, but didn't anticipate it would take over 30 minutes for a single dish. While waiting, I ordered a latte, which was underwhelming. It leaned heavily on the lighter side and could've used an extra shot of espresso. The pancakes themselves were soft and eggy in a good way. Accompanied with berry jam, whipped cream, and fresh berries. It was a nice balance between tart and sweet. That said, for three pancakes, the portion of cream and berries felt a bit skimpy. read more

Just average. Coffee could have been served hotter. Service was friendly but very slow. Cute place.

Take Ur Seat: A Rare, Wholesome Five-Star Experience. This is a complete, unreserved five-star experience that sets a new bar for quality and genuine care. The centerpiece is the Longanisa Rice Bowl, which is pure, elevated comfort food. They execute the classic flavors perfectly: the sausage is beautifully seasoned and balanced, pairing flawlessly with the rice and egg. Truly satisfying and unforgettable. You absolutely must try the Pandan Latte. It's a flawless creation--incredibly fragrant and creamy without drowning you in sugar. It's the perfect smooth, cooling counterpoint to the rice bowl. While the food is exceptional, the true heart of Take Ur Seat is the team. I need to give an extra-special shout out to the staff; they are genuinely the most wholesome, attentive, and kind people I've encountered. Their sincere warmth elevates this place to a truly memorable experience. For pitch-perfect Filipino-inspired cuisine served with genuine hospitality, this place is essential. read more
