| - There is a distinct lack of decent restaurants near my home, with the exception of "WOW Sushi" and maybe 7 West. There's really nothing good for breakfast, so my wife and I had been anticipating the opening of this place for the last few weeks.
This appears to be an attempt at a North American breakfast eatery gone horribly wrong. It would be akin to two white guys from Cleveland who go to Korea and set up a congee or Bibimbap shop. They might have been successful opening a burger or wing joint, but certainly nothing of local fare.
I ordered the "Best-Omelette" ($7.95) while my wife had the eggs, sausage, bacon and french toast. ($8.95). Add a coffee and Coke and the total came to $20.20 with tax. Not too shabby if the food is decent.
Alas, it was not.
My dish consisted of small button mushrooms (whole), monterey jack cheese, eggs and a small portion of melon which was really more of a garnish; and I'd asked them to toss the bread and add in a little extra fruit. The omelette was dry and lacked flavour.
My wife's dish was pretty strange. Instead of sausage, they formed a small amount of hamburger into a tiny patty. Did they think this would pass for sausage? She also asked for her eggs "over easy", but they came scrambled. This was after they verified for the second time how she wanted her eggs prepared.
Lastly, our dishes came out about 8 minutes apart. Not horrible if you're eating family style in a Vietnamese restaurant, but full of suck for the purpose of eating breakfast together.
I gave them an extra star because they've just opened in the last day or two. I'll check back in a month or so to hopefully up their rating.
