    Very cute establishment. Food was good. Value was poor. You order through a QR code, so interactions with staff are limited. Soda is $4 and not refilled. Silverware is dinky and wrapped in one thin napkin. Churros were good, but sauces were served in plastic disposable cups. You have to go to the counter if you need anything. Spent over $100 between my friend and I (with tax and tip), and it was a little shocking based on how much work the guest has to do themselves. This restaurant is good for Instagram (Ube Latte, flowers hanging from the ceiling), but the service and value did not meet expectations.

    Not very breakfast-y, which was disappointing. The food was fine - although the portions were too big - but more Asian-influenced than I anticipated, and lacked usual breakfast items. I also disliked the ordering system using a QR code at the table or at the counter and forcing you to tip in advance. It was like ordering at an airport restaurant. Won’t return.

    I had the Zen Bowl, and it was very filling and delicious! I was able to take half home, so I can't wait to enjoy the leftovers later.

    From our Facebook post. First timers….mot impressed. Presentation is very nice. Burger was very flavorful. The rest was pretty basic and taco steak was tough and chewy. Half of 1 of 3 tacos all sitting wasted on my discard plate. 1-5 stars, Two ⭐️ The rice and beans on taco plate ice cold. Tater tots, luke warm. Their preparation and timing is off. Also, gratuity is the first screen you see at payment (before), any service or meal delivered. No issue with gratuity as we overtip. However, after signing for gratuity, may as well call it self service. Had to get up and ask for everything. Water, refills, boxes, hot sauce. Didn’t even ask for refills or bags cause we got tired of asking for shh. Won’t be back as it’s more of an instagram portable than actual service and food.
