Derm Restaurant

Tried to order flurry pancake but was told it took 30 minutes. So we ordered mocha green tea pancake which is very delicious. If my neighborhood famous pancake house has such flavor, I would have visited very often. The other dish we ordered is South side up. It's very tasty and enough portion as a brunch. This restaurant is not on a top location but seems to be very popular as people (some of them may be locals) walked in several times during our meal. The waitresses are very friendly and nice. Overall it's a very positive surprise on our San Francisco trip.

We made a brunch reservation for 6 people. Not too busy when we arrived. There is outdoor seating but we decided to do indoor since it was quite windy. Standouts were the Bangkok Scramble and the Matcha pancake. Tbh, the fluffy pancake was underwhelming because it tastes just like the sponge cakes (纸包蛋糕) they sell in Chinese bakeries. If you were to order one though, get the tiramisu. They did take at least 30min to make so it is definitely fresh! Overall, the food was tasty but there's a couple of things that are overpriced/overhyped.

Rough first impression, but it was so good that I’d give it another shot. I ordered 5 dishes, and I was pretty disappointed when I picked up my order to see that there were only 4. The food was really, really good so I’m finding it difficult to be too upset. That being said, they don’t include a side of rice with anything, so make sure to order some extra.

I came here specifically for the souffle pancakes but fell in love with the eggs bennie! Let me tell you, I don't eat much but we finished EVERYTHING. I haven't had so much food in months, it was just too good to stop eating! I got the Californian Benedict (drool worthy) and my honey got the Norwegian Benedict. This place does not skimp when it comes to anything, so much avocado on both, mine had tons of crab meat. Every bite was heavenly. This place has the best potatoes my honey and I have ever had (we both agreed on this and we don't agree on much), they were light and, dare I say, fluffy inside but perfectly (I'm assuming) fried outside. I usually never mind potatoes on my plate, they get ignored but not this time!! I noticed the menu has a 30 minute wait for the souffle pancakes so I went up right away to order these. They were everything I dreamed of. Light, super fluffy, the syrup and berry compote were just right and the berries tasted so fresh. Another thing worth noting is their $5 orange juice. It tastes like biting into a perfectly ripened orange! We had a server with red hair help us, she was friendly, attentive, welcoming. This place deserves all the stars! It was a bit of a wait for the food (about 20 minutes) but it just means it's fresh and I'm almost certain we were the first customers. I cannot wait to come back. I'm telling everyone I know about this little gem.

Soooo slow!! Two other parties left before we even got our food. We got here around 11 AM, with a few groups here. We noticed that the place was small, with only one waitress working. We were seated immediately, but it took almost 20 minutes to get our order taken, another 15 minutes to get our silverware and coffee. We ordered the honey mustard chicken salad, 2 well done eggs with bacon, chicken apple sausage omelette, classic benedicts, and berry pancakes. We got the food one hour after we had been seated. We also noticed a big group had finished eating before one of them even got their food. At least when the food came, we weren't disappointed. The salad was probably my favorite item. The chicken was fresh and grilled nicely and the dressing wasn't too overpowering. The pancakes are supposed to be their star of the show, but I thought they were only okay. It tasted more like a sponge cake to me. I would not come back again until I know for sure their service has improved. The food is good, but there are other places actually worth the wait.
