A San Leandro classic. The meals don’t look like more than standard diner breakfasts but they are executed really well. Service is fast and good. The homemade kimchi is a. I’ve way to spice up your breakfast and so is the Korean BBQ pork

Great food, reasonable prices. Coffee could be better. Street parking. Not handicap accessible. Owners and staff friendly. Clean and cozy. Limited sitting usually crowded, possible wait, but worth the it. Wonderful specials Monday-Friday. Only open for breakfast and lunch.

This is the dive that you didn't know you needed in your life, and I'm about to tell you what to order for BREAKFAST that will change your life. Get the Korean BBQ pork, with rice for breakfast. Eggs, sunnyside up, skip the toast.
