We hadn't had brunch in a while, and found this place in midtown Sacramento. When we arrived, the restaurant was packed, and there was a waitlist on Yelp. We joined the waitlist on Yelp and waited for a table. In the meantime, we went to a nearby local market event to kill some time. The wait was not too long, maybe around 15 min before we got a text saying our table was ready. We started with mimosas, which were offered by glass or bottleless; we opted for glass, and they had many flavors to choose from. I ordered the Waffle and Crispy Chicken, which is served with maple syrup. It tasted alright. The chicken was flavorful, but the crust was a bit burnt. We also tried the Unagi Tornado Omurice, which looks like their signature dish. It came with ginger fried rice, unagi, tonado egg, tobiko, pickled ginger, and unagi sauce. The portion was generous, the unagi was flavorful, and the egg indeed looked like a tornado in the center. Everything paired well with each other.
Coffee was a bit weak and didn’t match the full flavored food. Service was quick but little to no words. But I like fast and efficient only down side was we wanted a table picture because it was a birthday breakfast and we never got a chance to even ask someone. Food was good. I will definitely go back next time I’m in town.
Wow! Just wow! The food here definitely did not disappoint. The lemon ricotta pancakes are a 💯 must try! The matcha latte was also really good. It’s a cute little place. The only downside is that they do take a little long to make the food, but besides that, it was perfect.
Sunny Side Breakfast has quickly become one of my favorite brunch spots in Sacramento. It’s got a fun Thai fusion twist that makes the menu way more interesting than your usual breakfast lineup. I tried the loco moco, and it was fantastic. The flavors were rich and comforting, with that perfect balance of savory gravy and a well-cooked egg. Their pancake was another standout, fluffy and lightly sweet, the kind you keep thinking about afterward. The place has a relaxed vibe, and the food feels thoughtful without being over the top. If you’re into brunch but want something beyond the basics, this spot is worth a visit. I’ll definitely be back to try more.
The hubby wanted to dine here for breakfast, but today, being our day off, we ended up coming around the lunch hours. There was a line out the door which we were prepared for. The wait was maybe 10 minutes if that, all the parties ahead of us were seated right away. The atmosphere is inviting and very chill. Everyone around us was enjoying their time and food. We saw a lot of the chicken and waffle dishes being served in the majority of the tables. Since we are pescetarean, we opted for the Yuzu Benedict and Unagi Tornado Omurice. Both were very good, but the Omurice was just perfect today! The staff were so attentive and helpful to answer any questions. Tables were cleaned efficiently for other guests to dine right after the previous ones. We had to try the Lemon ricotta pancakes for dessert, which was so good too! First visit and yes, 5 stars no question!
