It is rare that I would give a 5-star review to a restaurant that scores 4 on the food. However, I'm giving VK an exception. Yes, restaurants are about the food, but also the overall experience and the value.

VK has recently emerged in San Mateo and we visited for breakfast. This is not your high-end fancy breakfast place. This is a down-to-earth every day local eatery type of vibe. Of course not commercial as IHOP or Denny's and definitely a step above. It also isn't an Instagram shot type of a place. It truly exists to serve hearty food. And that's what it does.

The atmosphere again is a standard eatery. Sort of a diner, sort of a vanilla look & feel. I had the Steak Omelet and instant I could feel that this wasn't your commercial grade quality. The chef had used great ingredients and cooked it with care. Seasoned well, it was tasty. The side veggies also were done right. The pancakes were not top grade but could absolutely stand its own. The only reason why I retracted a star away was because it just missed border of being "special". Great food. Great taste. Just a bit too vanilla. Oh, and one of my pancakes still had a bit of runny batter in the middle, but that's okay.

Service was great. Coffee was bold and good, considering they brew these in pots.

All of the above, at a price point that is surprisingly equal or just slightly above IHOP.

VK's is absolutely a solid addition to the neighborhood. It isn't a place you come for. It is a place you go because you can rely on it. It is a working class, every day type of spot. And they are not shy about it. Will absolutely return.

Parking: Plenty of parking in the plaza.

I was in here today waiting for my laundry, and drank a few 805s. The servers were very polite, and the cooks came out to get the TV changed so I could watch football. Thank you, good ma'ams and sirs, and I'll definitely be back. Cheers!

Good food. Cute patio. Servers were friendly and attentive. One large criticism is the music. While the songs were good and the volume was perfect, some songs were not appropriate for children. A family having dinner with kids doesn't want to hear "Starships" by Nikki Minaj or other songs with the f-word. I think we would return and try some other dishes.

My mother-in-law brought us to this place, and I admit I was skeptical at first. They do have a nice outdoor dining area, but it looks out on a strip mall parking lot, and the indoor decor has more of a diner vibe. The menu covers a wide swath of regional cuisines, which can sometimes be a jack-of-all trades, master of none situation. But the staff were super attentive and friendly, the food came out quickly, and it was all fresh and delicious. We had the skirt steak skewers, fish and chips, and house salad. The fish was perfectly breaded and tender, and the skewers were hot, tender and perfectly seasoned. I will definitely be coming back.
