Looks can be very deceiving... read the reviews & seen a lot of post on social media that this spot was to die for. The 'millionaires bacon' was the only enjoyable item that we ordered... the pork belly rancheros were horrible , if i could give it a below 1 star i would and the potatoes were bland. The deep French toast almost tasted like the dough wasn't cooked enough.. We try to give mom & pop shops a lot of chances but unfortunately this one is not a spot i would recommend.

Decent food. The service was quick. Busy, at least on weekends. Expect a little bit of a wait.

Came here on a Sunday with friends for the first time. Bummer that you can't get seated until your full party arrives. The space inside is small, so it was nice that we got seated outside. I have to say the food and drink presentation was beautiful, but the taste did not meet my expectations. I got the belly rancheros and the iced strawberry matcha latte. They looked great, but I felt the matcha latte didn't taste like matcha. It was like a milkshake. The braised pork belly was too sweet and better paired with rice than a tortilla and poached egg. There was a lot of fat, lol, I know pork belly but you will know what I mean if you ever get it. A lot hype, but it was all ok for me.

Rude service but food is good. Ambience is okay, just like any other breakfast place.

Bottomless mimosas will be get you in trouble here. Not that I would know. I've actually had Kitchen Story bookmarked for a handful of years, knowing it was a popular meet up spot for our company. A group of five of us jetted over here after landing in SF. We got there an hour or so before close, and we ended up doing it big. They boast a large menu with omelettes, benedicts, burgers, breakfast plates, and some unique Asian-influenced items. Having been up way too early for my flight and not eating for much longer than I anticipated, I wanted a fairly simple breakfast plate. Although everything else looked Insta-worthy, I had to go with I was in the mood for. I didn't love that the scrambled eggs was essentially an omelette, but I scarfed it down anyway. It was stacked with potatoes, bread, and bacon. Overall a very solid, albeit fancy-ish breakfast. Now besides the bottomless mimosas, you must (and when I say must YOU MUST) order the Millionaire's Bacon Flight. It's pure insanity. It's basically a sampler of Original Millionaire's Bacon, Citron Bacon, Cinnamon Bacon, and Rosemary Bacon. It's thick, tender, and flavorful as all can be. Definitely some of the best bacon you'll find anywhere! Service was fine at best. I think they were annoyed with us from the get go. But like, hey we're here to drink bottomless mimosas after all! Give us some party vibes, ya know? Come for the mimosas, stay for the baller bacon!

I have been here multiple times and it is my favorite brunch spot! I have my favorite go to's including the following: Mascarpone stuff, deep fried French toast. It is very crunchy on the outside and is always served hot. Yhe inside has a scream sweet filling. Milllionaires Bacon: this has such a rich flavoring to it! My favorite is just the original. It has a sweet maple taste to it. Big Hass Omelette: this is very filling and can be shared with two people. Even if you do not favor mushrooms it is delicious. Spiced chai latte: delicious and always served hot!

UPDATE: Love the food, I always bring friends here when they come to visit for brunch. Ive ordered bacon flight, deep fried french toast, wedges, crab benedict, two eggs, franciscan scramble and the lemon ricotta pancakes. Bottomless only works if both people get, but their other mimosas and coffee are great too!Love the food, always order delivery if I cant do dine in. But it was very cold with both doors open for dine in.

I had high expectations, the only thing I'll save are the Tacos (without the fried eggs) and the 100% delicious Bacon. The French toast is too much sugar, we couldn't even finish it. Pancakes with ricotta... well, I don't know who came up with that, but they are definitely not the best combination. I'm only talking about those 2 things since I didn't try the other dishes, which by the way looked delicious.
Best breakfast in town million dollar bacon is so sweet. You won’t find bacon like that anywhere else there waffles are delicious.Parking: Me and my wife and my grandson went about 1 o’clock and the parking was actually very easyKid-friendliness: Had my three-year-old grandson. He is a good boy but he’s still a baby and he made a lot of friends at kitchen story workers were friendly with our child
This place gets super busy on the weekends but we did not wait too long for a table on a Saturday afternoon! You can pick between indoor or outdoor seating. I recommend sitting outside as it's normally good weather when I go. Seating inside is a bit noisy and hard to hear others with the music and everything going on. Coming from someone who isn't a big fan of brunch food, I absolutely enjoyed everything. One of the few brunch spots I'll gladly take on! Everything we ordered: -Avocado Salad -Millionaire Bacon -Deep Fried French Toast -Ribeye Omurice -Big Hass -Spicy Burger -Mom's Benedict Don't sleep on the avocado salad!! It is the freshest thing you'll ever taste. It also has a lot of chicken so it fills you up! Millionaire bacon is always good, but this time it was a little harder than usual, maybe since the pieces weren't as fatty, but I still like the brown sugar glaze on it. Deep Fried French Toast can be shared with the whole table. We added caramelized bananas and walnuts which were yummy. The toast has like a wet cream cheese style filling and is very heavy. 8/10 I had the Mom's Benedict which came with 2 poached eggs and a meat patty on toast. The meat patty took away from the hollandaise sauce and made it taste more like a burger, but the eggs and sauce were quite tasty. 7/10 Kinda pricey for a brunch place, with almost every item costing upwards $20, but it's SF so what do i expect!

I can't forget the bacon that I tried the first time from this restaurant, and we came back after many years. This time I think the bacons are a bit too dry, and the service is okay, but I like the environment better. Anyway, we still recommend this restaurant.

Mmm mmm good! Impeccable service, casual dining environment. I had the 2 egg breakfast with millionaire bacon, pancakes with strawberry and banana, and a bomb ass dirty chai!!! The best dirty chai I've had! I'll be back again and again!!! I love breakfast!!! My new favorite! This place is for family, friends, or just flying solo!

I've frequented Kitchen Story for years, and always enjoyed it there. The staff are friendly, kind, and fun to chat with, and the place is generally lovely for a casual late morning brunch.Definitely recommend the millionaire's bacon flight, which is (to me) what they're known for. The omurice is great too!
