"I'm a first generation Filipino American and grew up having rice with my breakfast so not just any place will do. \n\nMy husband and I wanted to stay near the area we needed to do some shopping at so I was pleased to find Bite on yelp and the high ratings. \n\nAs expected, Sunday morning was busy but there were a few available tables that we didn't have to wait. Thank goodness because 5 minutes later, we would have been standing in line. \n\nMy husband initially ordered the short rib hash. Unfortunately, they were not serving it that day. the waiter did mention that they might be brining it back. Well, I recommend taking it off the menu until then. \n\nMy husband ordered the country fried steak instead while I ordered the huevos rancheros as it came with rice. \n\nThe portions are perfect, not too much and not too little. My husband commented on the how good the breading was on his country fried steak. As for my breakfast, not boring at all. The eggs sat on two pieces of crunchy tortillas which I liked the little snap to it. On the side was a little salad that I wondered why, but it really went well with my meal. The rice was cooked perfect but the refried beans was a little runny. I'm not an expert on refried beans but I do know I like mines a little thicker. \n\nMy husband asked about the \"cold press\" to which it was explained that the juices are freshly pressed every morning. My husband ordered the apple lemon ginger. Because he ordered it after we finished our meal, we needed to take it to go. walking around with a glass mason jar without a place for a straw is not ideal. But beware, the drink is $6.95 and they charge $1.00 for the jar. So although my husband had his drink put into a plastic cup, we took home the jar. \n\nThe service was fantastic. We noticed that no women were working that morning. In any case, it was nice to see several young men hustling and making it a great way to start the day which is something I rarely see nowadays. In fact, the lady sitting next to us returned her breakfast as they didn't make her meal as she had requested. A minute later, what seemed to be the manager came over to check to see if she was okay, which she was. And a few minutes later, a whole new breakfast based on her request appeared. \n\nI also have to comment on the music. I grew up in HI, so it was very nice for me to hear reggae, feel good island music playing. Now I wish they had fried rice omelette or HI style fried rice with eggs and Portuguese sausage or even loco micro on the menu. \n\nBy observing the many establishments I have been to, running a successful restaurant has got to be one of the most difficult things to do. Mahalo guys for truly getting my day started off right."^^ . . "0"^^ .
