The food were tasty. Staffs were friendly. gave great recommendations of food and drinks and detailed explanation of what's in a drink / food, makes it easier to choose the option to my liking. The interior is similar to the cafe you would see in Korea if you are looking for a vibe like this.

This place is such a hidden gem. We got the jam toast, kimchi pancake and Korean fried chicken. Everything is soooo good. Especially the toast and fried chicken. Definitely recommended and we will come back again. We were lucky to be seated immediately when we arrived around 11:30. Saw the wait around 12. Even they have empty tables, they didn't have enough server to clean up quick.

I love an Asian inspired breakfast. This breakfast plate had eggs, Asian sausage, salad, and really fresh and sweet fruit. Low carb and very filling! The restaurant is big and spacious and had plenty of seating. Service wasn't the quickest but I did appreciate them checking in on us often. Hojicha latte: 8/10 Breakfast: 9/10 Overall: 8.5/9 May be hard to find parking bc the public market is in the same lot as well as soooo many other businesses and a grocery store!

I love eating here for breakfast/brunch. Their jazzy hip-hop playlist adds a cool vibe to the restaurant, very reminiscent of Nujabes. The owner(?) is a really kind woman who always gives great customer service. And the food smacks! Parking is easy in the lot when it's not past 4 PM. Jam & ricotta toast (5.0) Two huge slices of milky toast topped with small curd ricotta and really flavorful jams. Out of the 3 toasts I've tried, this is definitely my favorite. The jams aren't too sweet and have a perfect amount of tartness. Some bites also had a really savory, almost salty & garlicky, taste to them. I couldn't figure out where the unexpectedly savory bites were coming from, but it was a very welcome addition to the sweetness! Hojicha cafe latte (5.0) Such a smooth latte with a strong hojicha flavor. I highly recommend this over the earl grey latte, but both are pretty good! The distinct roasted flavor of hojicha really shines here though.

Came on a Tuesday, so there was plenty of parking. On the weekend, the parking at this plaza is kind of difficult, but not impossible as long as you're patient. It was a little quiet, but there was someone doing work the whole time I was there, which is good to know for next time I need to do work somewhere quiet. My friend got the mushroom toast and I got their burrito. Both were really good! The burrito is definitely more filling than you would think. After eating the burrito, I didn't really need to eat dinner, and I didn't eat breakfast before coming either LOL all in all, a solid place!!

My friends and I went during New Years for a quick brunch and were seated fairly quickly. We did go when it right opened just so we wouldn't have to wait a while. I would have to warn people that this restaurant is in the HK plaza with the new Haven City Food Hall. Parking can get packed depending on the time of day. Food was relatively comforting on a cold New Years day. I was personally a fan of the crispy edges of the kimchi pancake and the dweji gomtang. Service was relative fast and our server made sure that we were well taken care of throughout our meal :) I got the sparkling matcha ade and it was a nice pairing with the heavier meals. Overall, it's a nice place to get brunch with friends.

This was probably the biggest burrito I've ever seen. I ordered the jang-jorim burrito and it was filled with braised beef brisket, eggs, potatoes, veggies and avocado. A combination of tender/juicy brisket and subtle crunch from the grilled veg. It was super filling so I could only finish half and took the other half to-go. I really like the ambiance and decor of the restaurant. It's very cozy and has a comforting atmosphere. Overall, the service was good but my friend and I had to wait quite a while to get our check. It seemed that they were a little short staffed on the front-end. I would love to come back here again though.

Parking is a bit hard since Haven City Market just opened in the same plaza. Warm ambiance and kind service. + French Toast ($16): made fresh, server noted it's 25 min wait time. Thick brioche with a soft, custard-like inside, nice with strawberries, blueberries, and granola (7/10) + Tofu and Eggplant Burrito ($18): lots of fried tofu inside, extremely saucy and a bit messy if the wrap opens. Sauce inside was very mild, the green zhoug-like sauce on the side was the perfect addition to the burrito (8/10)

Namu Kitchen is a cozy eatery Korean brunch and coffee/tea restaurant in West Covina. Its name Namu ("namu" means tree in Korean) Kitchen rises like a sturdy oak. Its culinary journey infused with Korean heritage and flavor. We found this place by chance. Interior decor was contemporary with spacious layout. They have a modest selection of food and drinks (hot/cold). After careful deliberation on what to order on the menu, I end up getting a rosemary cardamom latte ($6.5) and a jam and ricotta toast ($16). Rosemary Latte was fine and hot like an old gf that you wish you have never broken up with. Similarly, J.R. toast was overwhelming sweet, flavorful and soft. Staff were competent and professional. Service was tepid to say the least; in my humble opinion the on point service has become moribund. Atmosphere was relaxing with soothing holiday background music. Prices were affordable and competitive. Overall, I have enjoyed their latte but not so much on their food and service.

There are plenty of parking spaces. There is plenty of seating inside as well. I ordered the jan-jorim over rice (braised beef brisket with peppers, rice, and egg). The food was really good and flavorful with the beef brisket. The rice was a bit bland, but if you mix it well with peppers and brisket, it tastes really good. Overall, great place to try out and dine! Recommendation(s): - Jan-jorim Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Restroom available - Plenty of parking spaces
