Great brunch food! The Korean fusion/spin along with brunch favorites was a hit with us. We aere also pleasantly surprised to enjoy a Jeju island orange soda, too. I got the chicken and waffle, a side of bacon and orange juice. We also had the bulgogi Benedict. All the food was tasty and delicious. The service was very attentive also. The staff made sure we had all of our needs taken care of. It's a small brunch restaurant, I'd say they can seat about 20-30 patrons at any given time. We'll be back!

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!

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.

Loco Moco
Con C.

Tasty joint in the middle of a block of apartments. Fried chicken and loco moco were top, slightly salty on the gravy. Lemon ricotta pancakes were ok. Needed a lil dollop of whipped cream. Presentation was beautiful. Waitress gave suggestions. 4% surcharge for using credit card. Small place, only about 3 tables inside and 3-4 outside seating.

Croffle with chicken
Lauren C.

Been here twice for brunch. The loco moco is a great savory dish-ample gravy to rice/patty ratio. The little extras like the thin cuts of spam and furikake add nice texture touches as well. The croffle dough was delicious with its buttery notes. The chicken was perfectly fried as well. The custard like sauce was lightly sweet. Accompanying fruit was a bit minimal. The lemon ricotta pancakes were a bit lacking-would pass on these next time. Overall, the food is pretty solid-but portions are on the smaller side so you'll be content (probably no leftovers though). Seating area is pretty small-only a few small tables inside and 5 small tables outside in their patio. They do charge 4% extra for credit card as a FYI.

Bacon Cheese Burger Omelette The Sunday Scrambler
Esmeralda R.

This is definitely a must try spot for brunch! I can not wait to come back! The food is so tasty, our service was quick and the staff was so attentive. The only thing I will note is that it is very tight inside if you can get a seat outside it would be better as you would have more space. There was a wait so plan ahead to join the waitlist. I would recommend the bacon cheeseburger omelette!

Chicken and croffle

Just got off the airplane at OAK and decided to swing by to try out a cute neighborhood place for breakfast. The food was great; service was warm. What a gem!

Stopped by The Sunday for a quick, last minute brunch and it was a pretty good meal. Luckily the restaurant wasn't super crowded and we were able to get seated right away. The restaurant is located on a quiet street, and it's quite cozy, with some seating indoors and outdoors. I will say the restaurant is small and seating can feel a bit cramped/tight, especially the 2 person tables. This was my 2nd time visiting and customer service was friendly and adequate. We had to flag down servers for extra napkins and etc., but they were prompt. Once you sit down, a server will provide a QR code that you can scan to view the menu. They will then stop by to ask if you want to order any drinks and take your actual order. My mom opted for the veggie eggs benedict with home fries. I ordered the chicken with croffle dish. Both dishes came out fairly quickly and I thought the presentation of the chicken & croffle dish was nice. The croffle was a good balance of crispy and soft, and they included both a maple syrup & spicy maple syrup on the side. The chicken was pretty tasty, it had some sort of breaded seasoning and seemed to be a good pairing with the croffle. I enjoyed my dish and nearly cleaned my plate, which was great. The veggie eggs benedict was good too, but my mom said it lacked salt and was thinking some avocado would've helped elevate the dish. We flagged down a server to request salt & pepper, & that helped. The home fries were tasty and crispy, and had a slight spicy kick. But I think ordering the tater tots would've been better. The cost for both dishes was just under $50, so I thought the pricing was a little high, but it was a filling meal with good size portions. Possibly worth visiting if you're in the nearby area and craving a cozy, flavorful brunch experience.

Bulgogi Benedict
Diane L.

We came here for brunch on a Saturday afternoon. We had a 25 minute wait to be seated. As a party of 5 each of us tried a different dish. Everyone was content with what they ate and enjoyed their meal. The restaurant is a small space with indoor and outdoor seating. Inside there is room for about 12-15 people to sit at one time. Outside is about the same. The service was prompt and attentive, our server made recommendations regarding the menu! There were a lot of people coming and going on the day we were there. It was our first time eating here, but I would come again if I were in the area!

Omelette
Aly C.

===TL;DR=== - Kimchi bulgogi tots - Omelette - Fried chicken and croffle ===TMI=== Asian fusion spot with unique flavors (mainly sweet for me). Come here early because there's always a wait! Cozy small spot greeted by a wall of hot sauces (go try them all!). Love love love the tater tots, can't go wrong with that. I think the omelette was standard. I realized the more I ate, the sweetness of every dish started stacking... from the bulgogi sauce to the sauce from the omelette and the sauces from the fried chicken dish - too sweet for me. Otherwise, great proportion, amazing fried chicken! Great place for dates and catch ups!

Croffle
Tracy D.

This place rocks. We came for brunch on Saturday. I arrived at 1145 and weee seated by 1215 for our table of 6. The wait wasn't too bad and we got to catch up. We had the Bulgogi Benedict, Loco Moco, classic breakfast with scrambled eggs, and shared the Croffle and lemon ricotta pancake with the table. Everything was so very tasty and good. Great portions. We had the OJ and pear mimosa. Our server was super nice, friendly and fun. It's a small place big they're pretty quick with everything. We sat outside with the heat lamps. It's so good I'm coming back again next weekend!

Croffle
Mariah S.

Was looking for a new (to me) brunch place in the Bay Area to go to with my friend and this place caught my eye with their Korean fusion offerings. It did not disappoint! Since I read reviews, I knew to join the waitlist prior to getting there. Once we found street parking, we only waited 5-10mins once we arrived. Highly recommend joining the waitlist because the place is small and seating is limited. Just google "the sunday waitlist" The wait was around 1 hour once we got our food. We ordered the bulgogi omelette, shrimp tempura omelette, and croffle. You can choose a side of house fries, tater tots, or rice and sourdough or english muffin. The tater tots were cooked to perfection. The omelettes were very delicious. And the croffle was a perfect balance of sweet and salty (they put an interesting brown shredded cheese topping). The service was great! Waiter was friendly and when they brought out our food they informed us of everything that was on the plate. The plates and presentation of food was beautiful as well. Overall a great place for brunch on a Sunday ;)

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.

That's what really drew us in. Very tasty breakfast, got the injera breakfast plate filled with lots of spices, tomato flavor and tang from the bread. Super addicting if you love those flavors. Very thankful to be given a side of yogurt to help cool the heat down. Definitely would order this again, but maybe add my own mix-ins like an egg or more protein since it's very carb heavy. Inside wise, you can watch two tv's playing sports, our waitress/cashier was very kind, and it appeared like many locals hanging out. Only thing is their menu prices are out of date. About $13 plus tax per plate. Hope to come back at night to see the bar open and some live music!

I will say, if you have somewhere to be *ORDER ONLINE*. I got there and was told to order from the self serve tablet (I could have done this on my phone ahead of time), but I put in my order and sat down to wait for it. At the 22 min mark, the two groups of two behind me got their food before I did, so I went up to the worker behind the bar and asked if my order was ready and I was told mine would be next. All in all- took 32 mins. So again, if you have somewhere to be- order ahead! Food was good. Could definitely tell it was made fresh to order - not only because it took some time but because my friend cauliflower came out PIPING hot. Lots of oil drippings, so if that isn't your thing, may not be for you, but I will say that it was my fav bite. This was a good restaurant- I would say 4 stars for the food alone. BUT if you're in a pinch, either order online or maybe save this spot for when you have more time. Also- I know that good quality food is pricey, this place is no exception. But you pay for what you get and the quality is better than that of fast food.

While this visit was in between the lunch and dinner rush, unfortunately I think they are understaffed because at the time we sat down there was only 1 person who was busing tables and taking orders. As a result, it took a while for them to be able to stop by our table and provide water, take our order, etc. There was quite a long wait between sitting down to ordering to actually receiving our food. By the time we had actually received our food, almost an hour had passed. While we were waiting, a few other servers eventually joined, but service was still pretty bare for us and we never received refills on water or plates to eat off of when we received our food. I understand that staffing and a backup in the kitchen are out of the staff's control, but it would've definitely helped for us to know in advance how long to expect to wait to align our expectations and arrange our plans for the day. Would advise giving customers a quick heads up/warning because that on its own would've made a big difference. As for the actual food, we ordered the mac trio with elote mac, chicken pot pie mac, and kogi short rib mac (for an extra fee). The elote mac was the best and most flavorful, the short rib mac was okay but not amazing or worth the extra money, and the chicken pot pie mac was very bland/flavorless and didn't have much chicken in it. The food didn't feel like it warranted the wait time and because of that I would not return.
