Break of Dawn

The restaurant is in the far back left side of the shopping center adjacent to the apartment complex. I got lost trying to meet friends here so hopefully you don't. Pictured: Pork belly - served with tempura poached eggs and slaw. The eggs had runny yolks and a crispy tempura coating. I don't know how they do this, but it is amazing! The pork belly is also very very good; crisp and topped with a subtle spicy sweet sauce. I would go back just for this dish. Not pictured: Cinnamon Bun - This was made in house and served with a generous dollop of sweet cream and orange zest. Not overly sweet, great for sharing and a good start for waking up those taste buds.

Fantastic food!! If you mix the pork belly with the cinnamon bun it becomes a new twist on chicken and waffles! It's insanely delicious! I had the shrimp and it was comfort in a bowl. YUM! I will say this isn't a Denny's or an iHOP so please don't order dishes like LAMB and be pissed because you had to wait more than 15 minutes. It was very ridiculous and unfortunate display of ignorance we had to watch. My 2yr son was showing better behavior than these two grown women. These dishes take time to prepare so please bring your patience with you and enioy!

"citrus popup" one of Diesels favorite past times is coming up with a menu every few months to a select few people to enjoy. What you see in these photos is there fruits of a lot of labor and love if food. As always these popup have a special place in my and my fiance's heart. Delicious food, amazing company. It doesn't get better.

This place is nothing short of phenomenal. A fusion restaurant with master skilled chef inspired food. A casual vibe with perfect humble atmosphere. Food is so good, worth the price. Pictures below are of the Smoke Salmon with Savory Pancake and the awesome graffiti mural on the main wall.

Absolutely the most unique breakfast menu in OC (that ive ever found for sure). Amazing blend of asian influences and american breakfast concoctions. But also some craft takes on staple amerocan gluttony like cast iron cinnamon bun with espresson syrup and orange cream. Be still my clogged but barely beating heart! This time we had the mac n cheese (with shortribs and 2 sauces served cassarole style) the beef tongue with zinfandel poached egg and the crab etoufee stuffed crepe for all you cajun lovers. Get down here.

The eggs benedict and pork belly was great. Both dishes had creativity, balance in flavors and salad to complete the meal. Menu listed "fresh OJ", asked server if it was freshly squeezed and she assured me it was. I saw her pouring out of a gallon jug OJ usually comes in, when asked to again, she said they squeeze it and put it in the jug. The issue is that it didn't taste like fresh juice and was overly sweet, they did throw an orange slice in it.

I had the Ranchero Omelette. It was spot on. My buddy tried the French Toast and it was one of the best he's eaten. The coffee was hot and fresh and I was offered a refill. Clean restaurant and great service. I'll be back for sure.

Too many items to choose from, they all sounded great. We chose the Pork Belly and also the Shrinp. Pork Belly had a Tempura with a coddled eggs, kimchi and heavenly-tasting pork belly that melted in your mouth. Only thing missing was a cripy toasted bread. I'm coming back again.
