OPH is one of my favorite breakfast chains, but this location isn't like the others. The usually light, fluffy pancakes were heavier and the bacon wasn't the thick-cut awesomeness found across other OPH locations. The building was also an anomaly among other OPH locations I've been to, lacking some polish and charm. Service was attentive, so points there.

As a breakfast place, not terrible. But as an OPH, I expected more consistency with the brand standard.

BUMMER! This is the worst Original Pancake House I've ever been to (I've been to 15+ other OPH locations.) Their iconic Buttermilk pancakes were dense, not light and fluffy like they're known for being. There was no central air on (it just have been 80° inside), super uncomfortable, I felt bad for the staff. The layout is super awkward, half the restaurant is unused and it looks like storage. This was my second visit to this location, and ultimately my last. I VERY RARELY leave negative reviews, but this spot feels subpar for the franchise.

my adaptive friend and i had breakfast and then, bc he was feeling good, we walked to downtown. they had my handicap placard car towed!
we were there maybe 2 hours.
AND it's not even as good as the Cupertino location.
i talked to a LA resident who said they drive to Cupertino bc this location is subpar.

The food is pretty expensive but you get ginormous portions. Everything pictured is one meal. We split between two friends and both had leftovers. The restaurant itself has a really confusing layout and no one to greet you.

When we walked in the ohop it was like home, we got seated and the service was great. We got the grapefruit juice and it was quickly served. The grapefruit juice was perfectly hand made. Then came the light of the whole experience the Dutch baby and the salmon Benedict, the condiments for the Dutch baby were amazing. The soft pancakey texture of the Dutch baby made it more appetizing. The egg on the salmon Benedict was so soft an creamy. The salmon was cooked to perfection. It is 10/10 way better then ihop.

This place has so much potential to be great. They open very early which is amazing considering there’s not a lot of early morning options. I’ve been here 3 times in hopes of giving it another shot. Off the bat, the place is cluttered with random stuff as if it’s a storage on the side where the bar is. There’s a huge Italian sign that says espresso, so I was like oh well that’s at least good, they’ll have good coffee. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case. I’ve ordered pancakes,corn beef and bits, also my husband had an omelette and French toast. The food is basic, nothing to write home about. Just your average breakfast. What ruined the experience was the server. She’s always so cranky, what I don’t get is, if you don’t want to work the early hours, why are you there? She was dismissive and unwelcoming, every time I asked for something or a refill it was followed by annoyance or indifference. It’s unfortunate bc I do want to like this place for the convenience of the hours.

I’d fight a war for the apple pancake, it does take a minute to come but it’s definitely worth it

The wait staff was friendly. That's the only positive. The omelet was way overcooked on the outside and raw on the inside, so totally inedible. I sent it back. It took so long for the chef to make it the first time around that I didn't ask for a redo. Plus, why would the chef do it correctly the second time just because it's a redo? The hash browns were terrible also: extremely crispy on the outside and raw on the inside. I'll never go back.
