    Bulgogi Benedict
    Gabriella D.

    Tasty spot for breakfast, nothing too special. Some interesting menu items but unfortunately not outstanding preparation. We tried the Bulgogi Benedict and the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, which were each tasty, though there was a hair in my pancake that was distinctly not mine. Inside is loud and crowded. The server was not too friendly and was also a severe mumbler so we really had no idea what she was saying. Probably wouldn't go back given the bounty of options in the area.

    Pistachio matcha latte
    Hursuong V.

    Pretty good brunch place with the classics as well as a few re-imagined items. Our table shared the bulgogi benedict, cajun hash, and the wine rosemary french toast. I was pleased with all of our choices and the portions were quite good. Their french toasts are probably their most pretty and interesting options - the wine rosemary one had brie in between the toast! I also got the pistachio match a latte which didn't have any detectable pistachio flavor at all, but was still good matcha. The food did come out a bit slow. Decor/ambience inside is nothing amazing.

    Bulgogi & Chorizo Benedict
    Kelly C.

    Spacious seating area & nice service. The food does take a little longer than average to come out. But order a drink & bring a friend to stay entertained. Everything we had was good. We got hashbrowns, and they did not disappoint; very crispy. The bulgogi marinade was just good enough to be considered bulgogi. Better than the trader joes bulgogi marinade. The chorizo can be a little spicy if you can't handle a little heat.

    Berries and Ricotta French Toast
    Lili A.

    Union is a classic brunch spot in Allston. They have a wide variety of savory and sweet brunch foods, and several delicious sandwich options. Today a friend and I walked in at 1:30pm and got seated immediately. We ordered the hash napoleon and the berries and ricotta French toast. The hash napoleon was pretty standard, the and hash was not too remarkable. The berries and ricotta French toast though, was DELICIOUS! I loved the whipped ricotta topping and the layer of berry ricotta cream in the middle. I would order that again. Service was okay, I know we did not dine during peak hours, but the waiter forgot to give us our check at the end of our meal. It seemed like other folks were getting their checks / water filled but the waiter didn't seem to get to where we were sitting. Otherwise a great experience

    Rosemary French Toast and bulgogi Benedict
    Erika T.

    The atmosphere is underwhelming and not particularly welcoming. Several of the chairs are wobbly and felt like they would break if we leaned back. The staff was friendly and there weren't too many patrons in the restaurant on a Monday around lunchtime, but food service was pretty slow. The drinks were made quickly though and they were fine. It was odd that the cafe drinks were made without sweetener. Usually a London Fog has at least a little simple syrup in it. Not this one. The matcha was similarly unsweetened. Overall the bulgogi Benedict was the best thing on the table. The kimchi bulgogi quesadilla was mid. Needed more bulgogi and kimchi and less pico, especially since the pico was served on the side. The rosemary French toast was also very good. The sweet fruit and the Brie went well together, but it needed way more of the special syrup. I didn't care for it as much with regular (not pure maple) syrup. The meal was like $78 for 3 of us for three entrees and 3 beverages. Outrageously expensive for what we got. The food was good, but it wasn't $95 good.

    Fluffy pancakes
    Han N.

    I just had to write an updated review for @Union because I found myself visiting it again recently and I feel like the food has gotten so much better. Maybe it was the special menu item or that specific day, but I remember why I used to always visit @Union and enjoyed the food. That day we ordered fluffy pancakes and bulgogi benedict with freshly squeezed orange juice. The fluffy pancakes were indeed very fluffy, I love the mascarpone cream that came with it. The bulgogi benedict was delicious, it came with a good amount of meat, eggs were runny when cut into, flavors were all there. Both dishes were 10/10. The only bad part about this meal, or any time visiting @Union would be the very long wait for our food. We waited over 35 minutes for our food after placing the order with our server. We devoured the entire thing within minutes though.

    Mask are required Cocktails are served at this location for breakfast. The chicken and waffles were so good, the chicken was well seasoned and could've been eaten alone. It was perfect with the waffle and syrup. The banana and cinnamon French toast was perfect also. It was crunchy around the edges and a combo of soft and a bit of crunch towards the middle. This was really good. The hast brown didn't taste like it had any seasoning and it was very crunchy, a bit too much for my liking and I should've asked for onions and peppers to be cooked with it. Otherwise, this place was really good, parking wasn't an issue, staff was great and drinks were good as well.

    Drunken Pumpkin Latte
    Karen C.

    I was looking for a brunch spot that served alcohol with our meal. @union checked all the boxes and was an awesome surprise for everyone in my group. I started brunch with the Drunken Pumpkin Latte, which was a great way to kick off the meal. However, the highlight of the brunch was the Bulgogi Benedict. I know, I know, you are saying to yourself that I must have had one too many of those Drunken Pumpkin Lattes! Yep, you heard right - Bulgogi Benedict. This was an amazing dish with an English muffin and poached egg topped with Korean Beef Bulgogi and hollandaise sauce. All of the flavors worked! Pro tip - skip the breakfast potatoes. They were not worth the calories. I was worried that it would be crowded at 10 am, but the colleges were still on Christmas break, so we lucked out with a parking spot on the street right in front of the restaurant and immediate seating. I wish that a restaurant like @union can be found everywhere I travel!

    Cute brunch spot. I've been here several times. The food is reasonably priced for Boston. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. There is hand sanitizer available at the front and all staff is wearing masks. They have a specials menu that changes throughout the year. I've always enjoyed trying the fun new items on the specials menu! The food sometimes takes a bit to come out but the staff is always very nice. The food is good with generous portion sizes as well.

    Egg Bomb
    Cass A.

    This was a stellar brunch on a Friday morning. The Egg Bomb was an incredible amount of food for eleven dollars. We decided to eat it open faced to avoid a mess. The ability to opt for an everything bagel was a nice touch. The Wine Rosemary French Toast was light with a hint of sweetness. The best part was that the syrup wasn't overly sweet. @Union has a coffee shop vibe with a brunch style spread.

    This was our 3rd visit for brunch. We came last year and accidentally walked to the location again…read morethis year, only realizing we were at the same place when we recognized the neighborhood. It was a happy accident! On weekends there will likely be a wait for brunch. Service is friendly and efficient. Coffee is served in a really big mug and is piping hot. Breakfast potatoes are crisp and hot and flavorgul. Cholula hot sausce is always on the table. At some point, I will have the lunch or dinner items but I always end up gravitating towards breakfast. We've had the omelettes, power bowl, and breakfast scramble. All were fresh and flavorful. I also had a spiked lemonade which was also tasty.

    On a clear, sunny day, after visiting the Isabella Museum, I thought I'd find a brunch spot nearby…read more Shakshuka: The portions were huge, still bubbling hot when it arrived; the meatballs were firm, slightly coarse, and very satisfying; the runny egg was delicate and tempting; the bread had a slightly crispy crust from being pan-fried, while the inside was incredibly soft and delicate, like a cake, perfect for dipping in the sauce. Everything was perfect, except... it was incredibly sour, almost pungent. The sauce was just pure canned tomato flavor, and the pickled peppers were also extremely sour, with a hint of spiciness that made the flavor even more intense. I guess I just couldn't get used to it, as a Chinese; but I'll respect this seasoning, as it's very common in the West. After taking it home, I reheated it with sugar, black pepper, butter, and Parmesan cheese, and mixed with pasta--it instantly felt much smoother and more delicious! The restaurant's decor was simple and rustic, with natural-colored wooden tables that looked gentle and warm in the sunlight. I really liked it.

The pad thai is also tasty- a lot more moist than normal pad thai. I liked the fried chive cakes; they taste similar to Korean chive pancakes. Salt and pepper pork has a slight kick to it.

    Came here yesterday with 3 others for a 7:30pm reservation that I booked a month in advance…read more Otherwise, you're looking at a 4pm or 10pm reservation. Found street parking easily on surrounding streets. The restaurant is small, with low tables, high tables, and bar seating. The other reviewers are accurate in saying that the table next to you is only a few inches away. For 4 of us, we ordered 2 Thai iced teas, khao tang na tung (rice crackers), jor puu, kai tod had yai (fried chicken), beef massaman, classic pad thai, and crab fried rice. I was not a huge fan of the rice crackers as they tasted a bit bland. Standouts were the crab fried rice and the beef massaman. Jor puu was good, the fried chicken was good, although it seemed less fried and more grilled. Pad thai was average to me as were the Thai iced teas. Overall, was a good meal and we left satisfied and full. But I don't think it was exceptional enough to warrant a month-long waitlist for a normal dinner time, although I'm sure much of this is due to making Bib Gourmand recently. Glad I got to try it once but there are other Thai places I'd be more willing to go back to.

When we checked in with the hostess and asked for bar seating, she said they have two reservations that requested bar seating and those seats are being held for them. I informed her we are probably one of those requests. She checked again and simply replied "we have a table for you". Ok, fine. When we get to the table, it is wobbling back and forth. The place was crazy busy and we didn't feel like flagging someone down to deal with it, so my wife and I just sat with our feet on the base the whole time and that held it steady enough. We then ordered a couple glasses of wine. They are NOT shy about the prices here. Each glass costs between $15-19, and the pours were small. We'd guess either 4 or 5 ounces. We ordered Foie Gras as an app. When it arrived, we asked for some bread to go with it. To our surprise, when the bill came, they charged us an extra $3 for the bread. When you order a $27 app, and two dinners each costng over $50, to add $3 for bread seems a bit petty. I ordered the skirt steak medium rare and it came out bloody rare. My wife ordered the scallops. They were served in a broth that was loaded with salt. Ruined the whole dish. All in with tax and tip, we dropped $250. For that price, this was a disappointment and we had wished we dined elsewhere.
