There's a wait and you pay before you sit down. Other than that, parking is easy to find, food is great and filling.
The potatoes are DELICIOUS. My sister got the loco moco (forgot to take pic) and it introduced us to a whole new world of food. Would come back here!!
Strawberry crepe: not recommended. Strawberry syrup/puree tastes too sweet and artificial.
Blueberry pancakes: great! Soft and fluffy
Omelet: great! (can't remember which it was)
Nice workers. It's in the middle of a shopping center so ambiance is nothing special. We went around 10:30 am on a weekday and about half the tables were taken.
Amazing brunch spot! I really enjoyed my crepes 🤤 the chicken fried steak was so good! The best I had so far! I recommend this place and I will go back to try their waffles 🧇!
Got there before 10am to beat the rush. Great brunch food. Pancakes were delicious with little macadamia nuts. The captain Mac nut French toast was delicious. I really liked the Sante fe scramble although the potatoes could’ve been done better. If they cut them into smaller pieces and made them crispier, that would’ve done the truck. They were too dry and too large and not enough external flavor. Eggs Benedict were ok. Not sure I’d get it again but not bad. I saw several people eating the loco moco. I’ll probably try that next time.

Stacks serves casual breakfast or brunch food with Aloha vibes. The menu is diverse, ranging from pancakes to classic Hawaiian plates like Loco Moco and Kalua Pig. Some highlights:
Loco Moco - having lived in Hawaii, this is my favorite local dish, and they do it pretty well. My only gripe is that the patty usually comes out overcooked. The fried rice as a base elevates this dish to the next level.
Corned Beef Hash - minced corned beef and potatoes seared to crisp thinness. It's hard to go wrong.
Pancakes - their banana and Macadamia nut are solid choices, but the deep purple ube pancake sprinkled with coconut and covered in purple condensed milk is a fun, tasty alternative. Their coconut syrup goes great with other pancakes.
French toasts - the cereal french toasts are very instagrammable and tasty. With that said, I'm a savory brunch gal so these aren't my go-tos.
Other memorable and interesting dishes include the Kalbi plate, hibachi meats (reminds me of Benihana back in the day), and Kalua Pig Benedict.
The food is consistent, the prices are average for Irvine, and there is a good amount of outdoor and indoor seating. You order by waiting in line by the cashier up front, take a number, and wait at your table - they'll come find you. Avoid a long wait by coming early or on a weekday off-lunch hours. A reliable staple for when you want classic brunch with an Asian flare.
I’ve tried the other Stacks locations, and they’ve never disappointed me. If you’re looking for the best omelettes and pancakes, then this is the place to go. I ordered the vegetarian crepe and hot chocolate, and both were amazing! So is everything else on their menu :)
I have been to this place thrice and I really enjoyed the brunch. They serve tropical flavor pancakes and french toast which I really like and some of the flavors I never tried before in other places like Guava Toffee Pancakes and Pineapple Coconut Pancakes. Every time I tried different items, my most favorite items are their signature Macadamia Nut Pancakes and Macadamia Nut French Toast, simply the best. If you are here first I would definitely suggest their signature items.
Tried this place while I was out of town and it was super busy. The lines were outside the door due to the holiday season. The banana Nutella French toast was great. The egg Benedict was okay. We also had cappuccino and vanilla latte which were delicious. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Customer service was great.
We came at 10am on a Sunday and it was quite busy already. I reserved a table outside while my husband ordered. That took about 15 minutes then once he sat down it took about another 15 minutes for the food to come so not too bad. He ordered the Denver omlette while i got the Nutella Banana French Toast with two eggs on the side. Overall the food was great. The omlette came with some green sauce that wasn’t too spicy but very flavorful. The Nutella Banana toast certainly filled my sweet tooth craving no syrup needed lol. We didn’t know the drinks are prepared pretty much after you order but an employee was nice enough to grab them for us. Overall I definitely recommend but if you come after 10am be prepared to wait.
Had breakfast with my son and the food was delicious. The corned beef hash, eggs and potatoes 🥔 yum 😋
