Small, buzzy Asian-influenced brunch spot with standout Bennys, chicken and waffles, and Earl Grey pancakes; great food but tight seating, long waits, and time-limit service culture.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Sisters & Co delivers creative, high-quality brunch with standout dishes like bulgogi benedict and gochujang chicken and waffles that justify its loyal following. However, inconsistent execution on delivery orders and some sides, combined with tight seating and cramped layout, prevents a higher grade. The fast-paced, turnover-focused service works for quick brunch but limits the lingering experience that grade A establishments provide.
Restaurant Summary
The room feels small and buzzy, the kind of cozy west-end brunch spot where the line starts early and the staff moves with purpose. Diners rave about creative plates—one guest said the bulgogi benny and chicken and waffles were "the highlight of our trip"—while acknowledging the turnover-focused pacing. Expect waits, quick-fire service once seated, and a vibe that is more lively than lingering. The cooking leans Asian-influenced brunch with real personality: bulgogi and char siu Bennys, maple-brown-butter gochujang chicken and waffles, and Earl Grey mascarpone pancakes. When the kitchen hits, flavors pop and portions satisfy; a minority note misses like salty potatoes or a so-so blueberry pancake. This is best for diners who enjoy creative twists over traditional diner comfort. Families do fine here thanks to a dedicated Kid's Corner with pancakes and a mini traditional breakfast. Kids will likely enjoy pancakes or simple eggs, while adventurous adults explore the fusion dishes. Space is tight and not stroller-friendly per some reviews, so plan accordingly and arrive early for the smoothest visit.
