The food was good. I went with some friends for brunch and I would recommend arriving early. We arrived not too long after they opened, 9 a.m., and there was a line already. I didn’t keep track of the time, but we did wait for a good amount of time before we were able to get to the front of the line. Their process is ordering the food and paying ahead of time at the counter and we can go find a seat afterwards. They do bring the food to us but they’re not a typical restaurant where they would serve all the food together, which was fine with me and my group. My friends were raving about the Kimchi Toast and I didn’t believe them so I ordered the Bada Bing sandwich. This sandwich was still good, but the Kimchi Toast was much better. I did order a side of the Kimchi cream cheese to dip my chips in, and that main ingredient was very tasty. The place was quite small, with very limited seating. I would say, coming in with a big group is not recommended. I did see couples sitting with other people due to the limited seating. Overall, the wait is long and not much seating but I would definitely go back though, for their Kimchi Toast.

Having lived on the North Side years and never visited, I was floored with the quality of the food. I found it hard to believe it somewhere this good was so close to my old apartment. I tried the Hot Pickle Chicken thinking it sounded like a fairly typical deli style sandwich - and it was anything but. The sauce is out of this world. My wife tried the Turkish Eggs which were prepared to perfection. If I had anything negative to say, the smoothies are a bit expensive for what you get, but even there they taste wonderful.

We stopped in for a quick breakfast. Orders are placed at the counter and delivered to your table. I got the Madame & Pepe breakfast sandwich. It was made with grilled shaved ham, sunny egg, parmesan creme, on a Fayze's croissant. It was also served with a mixed green salad with a vinaigrette dressing. I added a mimosa to my meal which was also a generous size. The portion size was HUGE. It was delicious and we will be back!
