| - This place is good, but more of a Try It Once If You Haven't kind of spot. I came here with one of my best friends and I'll probably bring Superwoman here, but I don't see myself craving these and returning any time soon, even though it was tasty and well done.
We'd planned to come here right when they opened or maybe 15 minutes before, but we had too much fun the night before hanging out, chatting into the wee hours, so we didn't manage to wake up early enough. We got there at about 11:45am? 11:50am? and waited quite a long time - I'd guess about 40 minutes, but I'm not sure.
*Tip: (If you don't come before they open) Come with at least 1 friend and have one person line up while the other person buys tacos over at Seven Lives, so you can eat something delicious and savoury while you wait.
Verdict: The pancakes were delicious. They were better than the souffle pancakes I had in Osaka. They were super fluffy and visually extremely appealing. They make them a little sweeter so that you don't need any kind of syrup, though if you order one of the flavoured ones, the sauces are sweet and can be a bit much. They also clearly use great ingredients - I could taste the fresh eggs and butter and high quality vanilla in the pancakes, and the whipped cream was real, fresh whipped cream. Delicious. But they basically taste like a souffle - almost exactly the same. So if you're a souffle enthusiast, you'll be in heaven. But if you're like me, and you like them but you don't go crazy for them, you probably won't go crazy for these pancakes either.
I was very impressed that they don't rush you, given the lineup they have, but perhaps they should, because waiting in line really sucks, and because some people will be inconsiderate and chat for a long time after they've eaten. They also decorated the space beautifully, but they could totally, totally fit at least 1 or 2 more tables in there, which would help at least a little bit.
Another problem is that it takes a while for them to make these things, because it seems like a labour-intensive kind of dish. You can't really pre-whip the eggs because they will deflate - so you have to wait a long time to even get inside, then you have to wait for them to make your order. It wasn't too heinously long a wait, but it could be because I went with a friend and we were able to chat the whole time.
So all in all, the product is great, though it's not my favourite kind of food, so I wouldn't wait hours - but I'd bring anyone I care about to try it if they haven't yet.
