It was my first time here at Popping Yolk Cafe, HH, CA. Our group was greeted by the wait staff as we entered. We had a bigger group for brunch so they instructed us to wait at our table as we waited for the rest of our group to assemble. Once we were complete, we had to get up to the front again to place our order at the cashier. They gave us a number for our table and waited for the food!
The wait wasn't that long. The drinks came out first, the Earl grey Latte was good, but the Ube Latte was great! We got them Latte iced since it's been a crazy summer but both drinks were refreshing and great for a hot brunch day. Some of our group went with savory dishes while I stuck it out with the sweet dish. The savory dishes all came with a side of fried diced potato and salad, with whatever main dish you ordered. I tried the hot Nashville chicken with eggs Benedict and it was so good. I think the chicken was cooked to perfection. It was crispy, seasoned thoroughly, and so tender and moist on the inside. The egg yolk was runny as you crack it open and it was just a perfect gooey and flow-y egg yolk and it goes so well with the crispy chicken. I also liked the kimchi and spam omelet. The kimchi and spam omelet were very creamy and very mild, it was surprisingly good! I was mostly surprised at how creamy the texture is with kimchi. The price is reasonable, the portions are really huge, so it is great to share! The wait staff were all very helpful and attentive. Um I had to take off a star here because well the ambiance is really weird. Mainly most of the place is decorated well but where we sat, there were just stacks and stacks of boxes of drinks against the wall. lol it wasn't in our way or anything but it just messed with the view and the vibe of the place. So whereas half of our party had a nice view of the restaurant with the lights and window and other patrons, my half of the group stared at our party against stacked boxes behind them. Overall, food was good, and I had a great time here. I would come back to try the other items on the menu!
