Good solid breakfast food. The food is tasty and the prices are very reasonable. The owner is also very nice.

The Kyu's Scramble on the menu really piqued my interest. The description was "Ground Beef, Jack Cheese, Spinach, Mushroom & Onion", and also "Served with Hash Browns & Toast". It was priced at $15.50 as of Feb 2024. Egg price has been ridiculously high so I did notice and understand why they increased the price. My plate came to me looking amazing. The scrambled eggs were perfect - firm but not dry. And the whole dish felt very hearty with good sized beef chunks. The inside was a bit tight and slightly claustrophobic. But the service was good and staff were nice and friendly.

It's a great place for a filling breakfast. My favorite is the linguiça and cheese omelette. Which I special order.

Went for a later breakfast over the weekend. About 10:30 AM and the place was substantially busy. There was only 2 free tables, both by doors, which to me is unenjoyable, especially when the weather is brisk and they leave the doors open. This place is super tiny and they cram a lot of tables into the space. Long staple to the pleasant hill community, I can see why they get good business as they've been around forever and the food is surprisenly tasty so must be a lot of regulars. The food is very standard diner fare; Nothing extravagant or unusual....The decor, blah. All the tables and chairs are old and too tightly together....dirty windows and mirrors along the wall with the kitchen.....which is basically open to the dining area. We opted for French toast with berries. This comes with WARM berries which was an amazing touch, some marcepone and syrup. Only 2 pieces and it's plated flat so nothing eye catching. Comes with a side of 2 pieces of bacon, does not come with eggs. We also got an omelets which was HUGE, comes with hashbrowns and toast. Nothing spectacular about the omelets. All the toppings are inside, not even cheese on the outside for presentation, but it was filled with a good amount of filling. Also got a waffle.....which the waffle was very very thing. This is not a Belgian waffle like you expect from most breakfast joints. While the food is not visually amazing, the taste is there to back it up. 4 stars for food and service (the 2 maybe 3 person small staff on floor was swamped), 3 stars for seating as I do wish there was a few less tables even if that meant a wait to be seated. Not sure if I will ever personally go back....but it worked for today.

I have eaten here before but I can't believe I forgot to do a review of this place. I was going for lunch today with a friend and I knew I wanted to order a Benedict. Florentine is my favorite, so I am happy they had this on the menu. The service was pretty attentive and it felt like a "ma and pa" feeling behind it. Eggs Florentine: The key to a Benedict to me are both the poached eggs and the Hollandaise sauce. This place hit both for me. The eggs were poached correctly and when broken, it did spill all over the English muffin, spinach and Canadian bacon. The sauce itself was superb and flavorful, perfect for me. The hash browns were alright, though could be a bit crispier. Overall though, I really enjoyed this meal and look forward to coming back again.
