I ordered the sizzling stonepot with galbi (beef) and an ube latte, and both were excellent! The stonepot had a generous portion, tasted just like Korean BBQ, and was packed with flavor. The ube latte had a great ube taste without being too sweet or overpowering. I'd definitely order both again and would recommend giving them a try!

Food was good. Their portion size is enormous. Getting the table might be a hassle due to crowd and wait time. Service was quick. Value for money: 3.5/5 Food:3/5 Service: 4.5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5

This place gets pretty busy. They do have a yelp waitlist but won't seat you without your whole party. The service was not great at all. The servers walk around avoiding eye contact especially when trying to get their attention. They got out order wrong and took forever to send out the correct meal and still charged us for it despite everyone else being almost done eating when it finally arrived. The food itself is okay. Korean fried chicken lacked the signature spice and didn't have enough sauce. The big hip which is meant to be like French toast was more like a big pancake. It was also overdone and hard and crunchy on places. The matcha mochi waffle was too sweet to eat all of it. It would be best shared with a side of something savory. The dirty Ube latte was not hot and had dregs of coffee at the bottom which was pretty gross. Not sure why this place has good reviews.

We stopped by this place for a Saturday brunch. Itβs usually quite busy on weekends, and we had to wait about 10β15 minutes for a table. You just add your name to the list and get a text when your table is ready, though it can feel a bit chaotic at the front with the crowd. Still, the overall vibe is lively and energetic. Once seated, the service wasnβt very fast but understandable given how busy the place was. The staff were clearly trying their best to keep things moving. We started with drinks β my friend got a mimosa, which she enjoyed, and I had a regular coffee with milk, which was decent. For food, I ordered a platter with a baked egg soufflΓ© topped with pork, served with sourdough toast and roasted potatoes with Brussels sprouts. The dish was very filling and tasty. The egg soufflΓ© stood out β light, fluffy, and not greasy at all. My friend ordered a similar kind of bowl with avocado and roasted vegetables, and she enjoyed it as well. Overall, we had a great time. Good food, lively atmosphere, and a nice brunch spot β definitely worth a visit.

I was very excited to come to Sweet Maple because the last time I tried Pimped Ramyun and it was good. This time we ordered an avocado croffle $14, chicken croffle $25 and Oscar which is Dungeness crab egg Benedicts $34. The croffle itself is good, we love it. The chicken part is very thin, feel itβs been overly breaded and overly deep fried. Itβs dry and hard. But the worse one itβs the Dungeness crab egg Benedict. I was so regret to order it. I love egg Benedict and whenever this option is on the menu I always go for it. To me, the best part of egg Benedict is definitely the hollandaise, itβs the soul of egg Benedict, it should be creamy and rich. Here they add cucumber and wasabi in to it which tone it down. Unfortunately, hollandaise and wasabi doesnβt go well, at all. It tastes horrible, not just it takes away the best part of an egg Benedict, and now you have very creamy, bitter tasty wasabi all over the egg, cover the taste of expensive Dungeness crab (then its pointless to order this one since you couldnβt taste the ocean). On top of that, the side of the mixed potato and sweet potato would taste better if itβs grilled instead of deep friedβ¦ I know thereβs still people
