Morning Wood

Morning Wood is located at 260 El Camino Real in San Bruno. They serve breakfast & brunch and is open 8:30am-2pm Tue-Fri and 9am-2pm Sat-Sun. There's usually a long wait. We got there at 11:45 and waited until 1 pm for a table for 6 people.

Parking is also an issue. Not much space in the lot so you have to find street parking.

They're not afraid to brag but it really is an awesome restaurant.

Kohala Midnight--Black Sesame Mochi Pancakes/Butter/Berries/Matcha Sugar--$18. This tasted like chocolate cake but slightly chewy. Quite good.

Oh So Loco Moco--Steamed Rice/Mochiko Chix/Gravy/Two Eggs--$16. Instead of the chicken, you could choose meatloaf patty or Kalua pork. I also liked this. The chicken had a crispy coating.

"Hapanese" Breakfast--Ontama Rice/Sous Vide Eggs/Pickles/Miso Soup/Kalbi Sausage--$20. The Kalbi sausage were in patties and were rubbery. Other options included mochiko chicken, Portuguese sausage or Hiyayakko.

Taco Omurice--House Seasoned Ground Beef/Rice/Omelet/Lettuce/Tomato/Cheddar/Sauce--$18. This was our least favorite.

Holy Shiitake Scramble--Shiitake Mushrooms/Asparagus/Furikake/Jack Cheese/Umami Sauce/Crack Potatoes/Toast--$18. The scramble was more like an omelet. The potatoes were crispy on the outside and very tender on the inside.

Morning Jook--Black Garlic Tonkotsu Reduction/Kakuni/Sous Vide Egg/Chili Garlic/Kizami Nori/Scallions--$16. Tasty and flavorful.
