Featuring their Creme Brulee Premium Two Stack, this soufflé style pancake brings the jiggly to the party. This style of pancakes makes everything so light, so you don't have to worry about feeling heavy afterwards!@phidingthefam

Very poor customer service. The cashier looks very sleepy at 3pm. I told him to dine in, but foods was served cheaply in to go box after an extremely long preparation. Additionally, the pancakes are much smaller and more expensive than others. Takoyaki seemed microwaved because it’s not hot at all. The curry beef on the rice is very cheap: it was made of burger meats and curry sauce from the grocery. It's also microwaved. When we argue about the to go box issue, the waiter even complained that we changed our mind from shabu to brunch with a sneering laugh. The waiter is also clumsy: I saw him drop off knives and forks when he served the other table without saying sorry at all. I will never be back and will never recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I visited the restaurant around 3pm on Saturday for late lunch. Gram cafe shares the space with shabu-shabu restaurant. There are only few tables on the far end of the restaurant that are designated for the Gram customers.I ordered kaki bento & ube cold pancake. The food came out around 15 mins after I ordered.- kaki (oyster) bento: pretty good. The oyster pieces were big & had crispy coating but it was pretty bland. The curry was too watery & very salty. The salad dressing was good (but it tasted store bought).- ube cold pancake: the pancake was airy & light but not too fluffy. The ube cream was good (not too sweet & creamy) but lacked of ube flavor.Overall, just ok food and didn't meet my expectation.

We tried 3 of the souffle pancakes. My favorite was the creme brulee, then the hazelnut, and then the matcha, but all three were pretty good. Portion is a little small, so I'd recommend ordering an appetizer along with it. I went on a Wednesday afternoon, so it was pretty empty and the food came quick.I got chicken karaage which was juicy and very tasty. Friends got shrimp sumai and shrimp croquette, both were good. Wagyu beef curry was decent. I liked the salad that came with.Next time, I'll probably get the creme brulee pancake and karaage again.

Go to the SF store. Avoid this placeExtremely short-staffed. I’ve been here twice. The first time, I had to look for the server multiple times to get my order and my check. And it took 10+ min to fetch a check for me? The second time I waited 15 min and no one came to take my order or even to give me a glass of water!Also, this place combine cafe and shabu shabu. But they don’t have enough AC. So expect to be sweating while eating.What’s wrong with this restaurant? The shop in SF is much better than this one. The food quality, service, atmosphere are way worse than the SF store.

This was a pretty disappointing experience for the price. I got the wagyu beef curry which basically looked and tasted like a hamburger patty from McDonald's slapped on top of rice and drowned with curry.The souffle pancake also wasn't much to write home about. Maybe the standard flavor would have been better but there was a weird taste for this one. If it were cheaper I may have given it another try but it's too expensive, service was average, and food was meh. I probably wouldn't go again.

Good fluffy pancakes. They really expanded their savory food menu as well which tasted surprisingly good. I really liked their shrimp croquette. It's definitely a good alternative to hanabusa cafe because there's generally no wait and you don't have to book in advance. Their pancakes take some time to make though.Something to note is that the bathroom here is always really really dirty and when my friend tried to go months apart it seemed like they hadn't cleaned it in those few months? The stall that was out of order then is still out of order now and still smells really bad. So we never end up using the bathroom here.

Never use the restroom, you'll be traumatized but the Breakfast salmon pancake and choco souffle pancakes were good. Also espresso sparkling drink is crazy delicious but also weird! Do it!

Great service. And the food was just perfect.Definitely try the black sesame dalgona. We got here for brunch after a long hike. And everything just hit the spot. The shumai starter, followed by savoury salmon & avacado pancakes. And finally the chocolate hazelnut souffle pancake was the piece de resistance, and well worth the twenty minute wait. We are coming back here for sure.

Their specialty, just as the name of the place suggests, was f-ing amazing. My number one favorite flavor was the salted cheese which was salty and savory sweet. The texture was airy, creamy, moist, and spongy. The ube was also really good. The takoyaki and the shrimp siu mai was barely palatable as they used the same weird potato-ish filling in both these items. Hopefully they improve on these appetizers. But everything else was bomb dot com.

Beer time in Oahu, Hawaii. Tasting 10 different from Mauii brewed. Price$ Looking for Maui Brew restaurant/bar next to Internatinal Market. Go to back door elevator to second level to avoid waiting list..

A bit strange cos it's sharing the same space with shabu. The food is ok. The SF store interior is much nicer. Staff was trying their best but obviously short handed.

Store is going through renovations. Food is delicious and the desert was amazing. The bento box was yummy. The inside of the restaurant just need some more touch up and fixes to make it look more alive. Customer service was really nice and polite.
