“ Food was so yummy we went for brunch around 1pm The service was fantastic seated fast we checked the menu which had so many delicious different options I ordered a California omelette meal, which came with the potatoes and a mini fruit salad. I also had the watermelon sangria, which was tantalizing. Enjoyed my brunch would come back. ”
“ Went for an amazing champagne brunch with pancakes and more. Good service and lovely design inside! We'll be back for sure! ”
“ Loooved the Benedict I ate here!! Seriously one of my favorite Benedict's I've had in a long time. The Factory Benedict, which comes with chopped bacon and garlic sautéed spinach along with the typical hollandaise sauce, tomato, and poached egg, was flavorful and delicious. The spinach made it a little saltier than a normal Benedict in my opinion, but that's EXACTLY what it needed to bring out all the flavors of the dish. Iced coffee was okay, I'd skip it next time and opt for the Thai tea if I wanted a sweet drink. Came here for bunch on a Sunday and there was no wait ”
“ Very cute place very good food all ingredients tasted very fresh!! Service was fast and welcoming. Place is cute and demure. ”
“ Overall I was pretty dang impressed by this place! I came here for brunch on a weekend. One side of the menu was all brunch food and the other side was Thai food. I was super conflicted on which to order, but ultimately went with my favorite brunch dish (chicken & waffles) and shared chicken satay with a friend. The food was solid! As a big chicken & waffle lover, I was not disappointed. And I really appreciated the fruit on the place- was a refreshing balance to the chicken and waffle. And the satay was pretty good too. My friend ordered the Oreo pancakes and while good, wow they were incredibly sweet. Worth getting if you have a sweet tooth. I'll have to try more of their dishes on both sides of the menu. The service was fine- the waitress was friendly and did come around enough to refill waters so full marks there. The ambiance was nice from what I saw, but as we had a table near the door, I didn't really get to see the full place. I'd come back! ”
“ I really thought this was a candy store and have shied away for a while lol. Glad i finally tried it! What a lovely affordable thai restaurant! The Good: - fair prices ($15 for tofu stir fry dish post inflation) - huge portions - super nice and accommodating service staff - they serve some soju and light sparkling cocktails as well - really cute, hip place to hang out! really my vibe, but you all don't know me so i guess that's not much to add The meh: - nothing, maybe their name because it pushed me away for so long ”
“ There's so many brunch spots in the city but this place should be on your list to try. It shares the same kitchen as another restaurant (I can't remember the name) so they have brunch food as well as all day food. If you're craving a seafood scramble with some cocktails or maybe a Benedict or waffles this is a place that has it all. Parking can be a struggle but once you find a spot the wait will be worth it. ”
“ I came here for dinner with my partner because I always see a long line on the weekends for brunch! I had no idea it was a Thai place before I visited. Food: 4/5 We got the red pumpkin curry which was delicious with chunks of pumpkin, peas, peppers and mushrooms. My partner said they traveled Thailand and never saw mushrooms in a pumpkin curry so this is probably an Americanism. We both agreed it could have been spicier. The garlic noodles were fantastic and a good level of seasoning; I love prawns and they were done properly. The sticky rice was not good - I would not get it nor would I recommend it. Drinks - did not try but the mimosas look yummy. They have small pitchers, large pitchers, and bottomless. Ambiance: it was clean and the chair were comfy. They have a larger seating area in the back that's good for groups. Service: the servers were friendly and attentive. Overall, I thought it was a good experience and it was not crowded at all for a weekday evening. I'd like to come back for brunch and try the guava mimosas and kimchi fries - the brunch fusion items look great! But for Thai food it could use a little spicing up. Their dinner menu is different than brunch. ”
