Creative Korean-American brunch with standout benedicts, wings, and croffles in a tiny space; great flavors, expect waits and a credit card fee.
Why it gets an A- for overall quality
The Sunday delivers exceptional food quality with signature Korean-American fusion dishes like bulgogi Benedict and crispy wings that justify its strong reputation. Warm, attentive service and generous portions support the grade, though cramped seating and lengthy weekend waits prevent grade A territory. Solid execution across dimensions makes this a competitive neighborhood brunch destination worth experiencing.
Restaurant Summary
The room feels tiny and cozy, humming with weekend energy and the aroma of sizzling bulgogi. Servers are often warm and accommodating, though the online waitlist can run long and seating is tight. One guest summed it up: "Once the plates land, the wait fades and the flavors take center stage." The cooking leans Korean-American fusion with Hawaiian touches: bulgogi Benedict with chipotle hollandaise, spicy loco moco, carbonara tteokbokki, wings that shatter-crisp, and a croffle for crunch-meets-cream. Dishes skew saucy and big-flavored; spice levels vary, but the hot sauce wall lets you tune the heat. Portions are hearty, pricing fair for creativity and size. For families, the menu offers kid-comfort staples like pancakes, waffles, eggs, fries, and a simple burger alongside adventurous options. The space is very small, so strollers and large groups can be tricky, but the heated patio helps. Expect around $32–45 per person for a full brunch in USD, plus a noted credit card surcharge.
