Food is very consistent here. Just a quick comment on the ramyun, it could use a little less asparagus. Love the dirty Ube latte. Love the vibe and the atmosphere in here. It does get a bit noisy, needs better acoustics. But I will always come back here whenever I'm in the area.

I had the pleasure of dining at Sweet Maple recently, and it was a complete delight! The friendly and welcoming atmosphere from the time I walked in set the tone for breakfast. The personnel were extremely pleasant and helpful, making us feel completely at home. Now, let us talk about the cuisine! I got one of their most popular dishes, Matcha Moffle, and it lived up to the hype--thick, sweet, and chewy, it is a must-try! They also made delicious chicken mango sausage. Everything was wonderfully prepared and had lots of flavor. Sweet Maple is definitely a brunch restaurant I will return to. If you're searching for a great brunch spot, don't miss this one!

I can't complain about Sweet Maple. Even at the height of brunch hour on a Saturday, our group of 4 was seated within 20 minutes. The food here is what you might call "insta-worthy" with lots of colors and fancy plating. It's definitely a fun place to go with a group of friends. I ordered the ube latte iced and the millionaire's bacon eggs benedict. The ube latte was not bad but I don't think I'd necessarily get it again. It's exactly what it sounds like and what you'd expect. The eggs benedict was decently tasty, but I really don't get the hype around this bacon. I also found the dish just too sweet overall, from the hollandaise sauce to the bacon to the sweet potatoes in the hash. I found myself craving a more standard savory dish. Service was alright. The hosts at the front seem disorganized and I felt like they never made eye contact and just weren't that friendly or welcoming. I get that it's crazy busy and there's a rush, but communication is key for customer service roles.

We made reservations and came on a weekend awhile back for dinner. Usually the place is packed for brunch, but there was no wait for dinner and tables were available for walk-in. I think they stopped doing dinner service as of now, but the menu was practically the same as brunch menu anyway. It was a nice day out, so I opted for outdoor seating. I tried the Tornado Galbi Omurice and the Pimped Up Ramyun. The dish was decorated with a ramen cup and looked really cute. The ramyun was stir fried and was a bit too moist for my taste, but I like that it came with a slice of Millionaire's bacon. I really enjoyed the omurice, and although the style is a bit different compared to the Japanese version, the flavors were still enjoyable. Prices are definitely a bit high for the portions, but I would be down to try their other brunch dishes if the wait isn't too bad. Sadly they took away the online waitlist/reservation option.

Came here for brunch with friends & family, and it was the perfect, comfortable spot to enjoy a meal together and chat! I was very impressed with this place. Because it's right on University Ave. I wasn't expecting the hype to live up to reviews I've seen. TBH I was expecting expensive prices, small portions, and minimal flavor, but I was pleasantly surprised. YES this place is a little pricey, but you DO get what you pay for. As you can see from the photos, portions are huge! The kitchen plates we ordered could've easily been shared between two people each! Flavor was there for all the dishes, because there were so many components to each dish! Service was very good and fast; my husband was given the wrong side to his burger, and they quickly gave him a salad on the side and left the fruit for us all to enjoy! I would definitely recommend coming here with your friends and family! They'll all love it!

Great place to get brunch in Palo Alto with friends. The food is always delicious. My favorite is the Pimped Up Ramyun. It feels a bit silly to pay for $23 shin ramen, but honestly it's really good. I love the flavor and the vegetable they add. I also really like their Brussels sprouts. They're super crispy--they're basically like Brussels sprouts chips. Also I'm not usually a big fan of bacon but their bacon's pretty good. It's quite sweet which I like. This place gets quite popular during brunch hours so you may have to wait in line. Last time during peak hour we waited around 30 min. It wasn't too bad because there's bench seating in the square outside so we just chilled there. Service is good. I don't feel like we waited too long for our food or the check. The inside is really pretty. They have a lot of seating (group tables and also smaller 2-person tables). They have a lot of warm wood panels, tables and chairs so it feels very inviting. Parking: There are many parking garages in Palo Alto so it's not too hard for us to find parking

A friend of mine who was in town visiting and wanted to have brunch with me, so I took him here. I ordered the Korean fried chicken and the loco moco. The KFC was really good. It had a sweet and savory flavor to it that was satisfying. The loco moco was pretty good too considering I don't usually like Loco Moco. The service here was good also. Our waiter was very attentive and was very knowledgeable on their menu. This restaurant has an elegant vibe to it and is in a very nice area with a lot of things to do. Highly recommend checking this brunch spot out! Try it if you like. :)

We were in the neighborhood for a wedding and heard some great things about this place so came here to try and had a nice meal. Came here for a Monday brunch so was seated right away though it was busier than expected. Service was very friendly and fast so all good there. We got the loco moco and the blackstone benedict and they were both good though my favorite was the blackstone benedict. Loco moco had a unique twist, with essentially a katsu patty over a layer of kimchi and rice. Cute place all in all in line with other clean modern restaurants. Definitely recommended (if I lived closer, I'd come again).
