It's a really nice brunch spot in a cool neighborhood. The yuza tea was pretty good, and it stayed hot the entire time. The spicy loco moco is good, the sauce actually quite spicy. The bulgolgi was a bit on the sweet side, but it's interesting seeing these fusion flavors coming together. However nothing stood out enough to fully warrant the high prices. Service was good, the staff were friendly, and good as served very fast. Though it felt like we were waiting a little long to get our orders in. The signs in the restroom were hilarious. The wait was about 10 minutes, faster than the forecast.

French toast with creme cloud yummy! Eggs and plenty of crisp bacon and soyrizo plate with potatoes

Quaint little spot in Oakland downtown. You arrive and add yourself to the wait list via tablet near the hostess/cashier area. We were seated fairly quickly for a Saturday at 11am. The place is small and has tables inside and some more like a patio area overlooking the street. Street parking is available but can be tricky. The staff was always greeting everyone and nice. They have a QR code menu and delicious breakfast items from eggs to french toast to bacon. Coffee was good and my french toast even better. Portions were hefty and we left happy and stuffed with a great start to our day. I loved the hot sauce section that had many options. I am all about the hot sauce. Check it out.

Lemon Ricotta Pancake Combo

BEST PANCAKES EVER! I've never had pancakes like this, the flavor was incredible! I was worried that it was going to be too lemony but it was not! We waited about an hour to get a table but it was worth the wait.

Inside vibes.

Spicy Loco Moco is my go to meal at The Sunday. I suggest going with someone and sharing two meals so that you can taste more. The Bulgogi Benedict and Chicken&Waffles are a popular choice at our table. I love the Garlic Soy Wings to share (or for yourself, don't know if you can get a side or waffle, because that would be BOMB!) This is our go to breakfast spot when we want to go out. One thing that I wish they had is a light beer. Some Terra or OB would be so nice for brunch (I could get down with some Someak).

Loco Moco

The Sunday is an Emeryville gem for Korean-American fusion brunch! We loved the Bulgogi Benedict, Truffle Omelette, and Loco Moco--each dish was flavorful, unique, and beautifully presented. The mimosas, teas, and soju flight were the perfect addition to brunch. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was friendly, and there are plenty of sweet and savory options to choose from. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

Girlfriends decided to brunch and we did it at The Sunday on a Friday at 11a. With separate dietary needs, we were each able to find something on the menu to satisfy our palettes. The Sunday was busy and packed, we were first on the waiting list. The first available table for us was inside. Tables are spacious, made of wood, identical to the bench seating. The service was friendly, patient, attentive and thorough - reciting each order back to us to ensure accuracy. We were even asked if we had food allergies they should be aware of - incredibly thoughtful. Our coffee ($4) and hibiscus tea were refilled without ask, the wait for food was minimal. I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes ($15) with a side of eggs. Classic 2 Eggs ($18) comes with two eggs your way, English muffin or sour dough toast with home fries, rice or tater tots. We each really enjoyed our meals and conversation. Would we return, most certainly. Parking can be a pain depending on the time. It is street parking on a fairly frequented street. The entrance is directly off the street and the eatery can be easily missed.

The Sunday Scrambler

Yum, is the first thing that comes to mind. Second, we will be back. I'm giving it a 4.25 stars because we got a little irritated with one of the servers. We had waited about 20-30 mins for a table of 2. We went back inside and there were some tables inside that were wrapping up their meal, but we were called and were given a table outside. My husband asked if we could wait for a table inside and the server said the wait would've been too long. Mind you it was raining, even if there is a covered awning, it was rather cold. About 2 mins later, after we were sat at our table, another group who was not waiting as long as we had, was told they'd be seated inside, just to give them a minute to clean the table. My husband wasn't happy. It is what it is, the place is small and they were just trying to do their best to accommodate the waitlist. Aside from that, service was great. Very nice servers. Food was quick to come to the table and it was piping hot. From where my husband was sitting he could see the owner (he verified it from a server) working hard in the kitchen! Food is worth the price. I wouldn't say it's outrageous pricing, as it's what you would find at other similar restaurants. If you compare this restaurant to Kitchen Story, I believe it out ranks. I had the spicy chicken Benedict, and the only complaint I have is there were too many green onions. That was my fault because I should have asked for it without. I love that you could get breakfast potatoes or tater tots. I obviously got the tater tots, which I did not regret! So crisp and delish! I also ordered the croffle! Never let anyone tell you ice cream isn't for breakfast because this place proves them wrong. Ugh, delish! I didn't eat any of the fruit but my husband said it was really fresh. My husband ordered the Sunday Scrambler and finished the entire plate before I had even finished half of my plate. Pretty sure he liked it, lol. Their coffee was perfect and super hot! The way it should be served. I saw a bunch of different drinks being served, which I look forward to trying over time. Bathroom, clean and didn't smell bad. I highly suggest this place if you're in the area.

The Sunday omelette
Andrew P.

Wow wow wow I think we found our spot. The Sunday is a small, stylish Korean fusion brunch spot with a heavy emphasis on flavor. The home fries are extremely delicious and that's all you really need to know. I got the Sunday omelette which was unique and delicious, packed full of shrimp and veggies. My wife got the friend chicken benedict. The chicken was exceptionally seasoned and was juicy through and through. We shared the lemon ricotta pancakes which were light and flavor full. Service was very friendly and helpful. Apparently we got lucky with a relatively slow Sunday brunch rush and got seated right away. Otherwise they have an in-person wait-list. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu!

Bulgogi Benedict
Jennifer T.

Came in for Sunday Brunch. I immediately started with the earl gray tea. I liked how the tea came with an infused lemon but it added too much sweetness for me as I like my tea with no sweetener. I ordered The Sunday Omelette Special and it was so good that I went home and took a nap. It put me in a coma. The truffle flavor didn't overpower the dish and all the veggies and protein were seasoned just right. My bf ordered the bulgolgi Benedict. The beef was tender and paired well with the Chipotle sauce. Service was nice. Since the place is kind of small, you can hear everyone's conversations, which makes it hard to talk with the person in front of you. We'll be back, but will note that it will make us pass out.

Chicken Chicken & Waffle
Natalya D.

We had a really nice brunch in Emeryville at The Sunday. It was a bit unexpected because the original place we looked up was closed, but it was perfection and we highly recommend it. We got there at opening so we were sat right away, but later on there was a bit of wait for new guests. The indoors is small, but super cozy, clean and cute. And all of the service was great. I even got a topped off coffee cup to go after we were done. The food was Asian Fusion style and did not disappoint one bit! Every plate looked amazing and was delicious. We had chicken and waffles, chicken and croffles (a waffled croissant) - which was one of my favorite options, a spicy loco moco which was flavorful, spicy, and delicious, French toast, bulgogi Benedict which was another favorite, and a build your own omelette. Our crew has some picky eaters and when I say everything was gone...I mean we literally returned empty plates. It was that good! So brunch it up at The Sunday!

I was visiting from out of town and someone recommended this brunch spot, so my boyfriend and I decided to try it, and we are really glad we did. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the service kept up well with the brunch crowd. I ordered the fried French toast combo with turkey bacon and scrambled eggs. The scrambled eggs were not my favorite part of the plate, but the fried French toast was incredible. It was perfectly crisp on the outside, soft inside, and full of flavor. It easily made the dish worth ordering. The turkey bacon was cooked nicely as well. My boyfriend ordered the chicken and waffles and could not stop talking about how good it was. The chicken was crispy and well seasoned, and the waffle paired with it perfectly. Overall, the portions were great, the energy was good, and it is a brunch spot I would absolutely recommend. We will definitely be coming back next time we are in town.

Wall decor. Great cafe vibes!

Cute little cafe. Went on a Thursday morning and got a seat easily. Food was yummy! We had a spicy loco mocco and the truffle omelette. Both were delicious! Tried some of the hot sauces on the rack and were pleasantly surprised by the kick. Will definitely be back.

The Sunday is an absolute must-visit brunch spot in Emeryville that serves up some of the best breakfast comfort food around. We enjoyed every single dish we had! (YES, we were so hungry, lol) Their omelette is to absolute soft, fluffy perfection and packed with fresh flavors (love the bulgogi and truffle!), while the french toast features thick, golden-brown slices that are delightfully crisp on the outside and wonderfully soft on the inside. The true star of the show, however, is the chicken and croffle, which pairs incredibly juicy, ultra-crispy fried chicken with a light, airy waffle for the ultimate sweet and savory balance. Combining fantastic food with a warm, lively atmosphere and fast, friendly service, it delivers a top-tier dining experience that will definitely have you coming back next trip!

They are located in the Temescal area of Oakland, and they share a building with a Mexican restaurant. There's a parking lot that's shared with a pawn broker, produce market, and check cashing service. Their vibe is urban, with a rainbow flag on their front door, and assortment of plants inside. Other reviewers had mentioned a line upon opening, so we made sure to arrive 15 minutes before they open, but on this Friday morning, there was no one else but us. Our server was friendly, polite, and soft spoken. Their menu is quite small, which I appreciate. There's appetizers, sides, brunch, and dinner -- all on 1 page. Their food was outstanding, with rich flavors and beautifully presented with sauces and pickled radishes. We ordered... + Shanghai Lumpia - these were long, crispy, and properly filled + Daing Na Bangus Silog - deep fried milkfish with salad, garlic rice, and sunny egg. One of our favorites. + Fried Chicken (4-piece) - perfectly crispy and juicy. There's some warm spices in the batter, maybe all-spice. + Adobo fried rice - the pork was so tender, it shreds on your fork. This had a good amount of tanginess that was so good. + Pancit Sotanghon - not your typical pancit. The chopped veggies in this had an almost charred flavor that made the dish so interesting. There was not a bad dish. I definitely recommend this for elevated Filipino food that's not pretentious, with a modern, hip vibe.

They were the…read moreonly place open relatively late (Yelp says they close at 10:00 on weekdays, but I think I went in there around 10:15 or 10:30??), so I decided to walk down there and get some food. I was a little confused as to where to order upon first walking in, as there were people hanging out all around the bar and restaurant but no one behind the counter. Eventually I figured it out - they have menus at one of the counters and as I was looking one over, a man came up and asked what I would like. I decided to keep it simple and just ordered a small cheese pizza to go. It wasn't anything mindblowing, but it definitely hit the spot (and for a good price too). The next night I find myself in the same late-ish night predicament, so I walked back over there and decided I'd try one of their Ethiopian dishes. I had only eaten Ethiopian once before and I thought it was great, but nothing to write home about. I ordered beef kelwa and boyyyyyy was it fucking good! It blew my first Ethiopian experience out of the water. Atmosphere is super laid back. Second night I was in there everyone was watching the Warriors game, cheering, and what not. The guys cooking your food and taking your orders are very friendly. Highly recommended spot. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Oakland!

MLK Cafe was perfectly located and exactly what I needed. I've never had Eritrean food before, so I was pretty excited. I ordered the foul meseleh ($13) from the breakfast menu (available all day though I had to ask for it), which was a bean-based dish, and chai. It kind of reminded me of shakshuka in terms of spices but the beans almost tasted meaty. I liked it so much that I brought it home, and my partner said it tasted like refried beans (though he did have them cold). The crusty warm bread was perfect for dipping, and I ended up not being able to finish it. The chai was pretty milky; there was a tea bag and the spices weren't very strong. Then again, I'm used to Indian chais. I would pass on the chai. There was basically no one else there on a Friday afternoon during off-peak hours. It was dimly lit and kind of chilly because the door was left open, so it wasn't the most comfortable cafe ambiance. The wifi did work well though and I would come back to try more Eritrean and Ethiopian food.

This place might have become my favorite fast-casual burger joint in Oakland…read more Since my first review, I've enjoyed their food three more times -- in person once and DoorDash twice. And it's been satisfying and well worth it all three times. I recommend both dining in and delivery. You cannot go wrong with their double burger. The smashed patties are perfectly cooked and seasoned. The supporting elements are quality and executed spot-on each time: the cheese, grilled onions, and mayo. It's a perfect fast casual burger. I also recently tried the Chopped Beef burger and dang it was amazing. The hearty meat and cheese the and buttery bread texture hit hard. This will be another go-to and I recommend it. For sides I've gotten tator tots, regular fries, and season fries. All fantastic and they're generous with the portions. HOWEVER -- you've gotta get the seasoned fries. Addictive and finger-licking amazing. When dining in staff is always friendly. Area's not too busy and you'll always find parking easily down a side street. And price wise it honestly feels like a steal for me given the care and quality and pure satisfaction. Works for me though -- I'm going to keep ordering from this place. Cannot recommend this gem of a burger joint enough. Fantastic seasoning and execution, solid prices, and absolutely satisfying every time.

All of it... yes! Typical Bay Area prices for delicious smash burgers, fries, and onion rings…read more Service is always great and the vibes are fun/casual. Parking in the ohgane lot next is free if you're there for oh g burger.
