Reviews
I’ve had sushi and boba, and ramen several times. We really like this cute cafe. Any time we are feeling under the weather, we definitely make time to come in and it makes us feel so much more alive every time!
Pictures are after I had eaten half… oops forgot a before shot!
The service was exceptional; the waiters were friendly and attentive, always willing to recommend dishes and ensure my experience was perfect.
The food was delicious! definitely recommend. I plan to return soon to continue exploring their menu and enjoy their wonderful atmosphere.
What stands out the most is the genuine kindness of the owner and the attentive service from the staff. In many places, service feels routine, but here it feels warm and personal, almost like being welcomed by an old friend.
The café is always spotless and well-kept, creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Food is served quickly after ordering, which makes it easy to enjoy even during a busy day. The flavors are honest and refreshing—simple, yet full of depth. It’s the kind of food that’s hard to find these days, where every bite feels thoughtful and sincere.
A highlight is the house-made sauces, crafted directly by the owner. They bring a unique and authentic taste you won’t easily find elsewhere, making each dish feel truly special.
With its warm hospitality, clean environment, quick service, honest flavors, and signature sauces, Cafe Brown is a place worth visiting again and again—whether with family, friends, or even on your own.
First time, I ordered the Tonkatsu ramen. While the flavor was okay and the pork pieces was yummy, the broth has some weird granuals floating in it, makes me wonder if the broth is made from scratch or if they use some instant mix. Noodles were solidly clumped together, even letting them soak in the broth for awhile didn’t help, had to use my chopsticks to pry it apart. Boba was good.
Second order from Doordash: ordered the Shoyu Ramen this time to avoid the granuals. Paid $4.50 for extra pork. Order arrived, open it up: no extra pork, only the standard 2 pieces. The two pieces it came with were small and 99% fat, barely a stripe of meat. Pork belly IS naturally fatty, but this was nearly ALL fat. To be shorted what I ordered and then to have what I ordered be just okay was a disappointment. For almost $24 for a single bowl of soup, I expect better. Boba was good.
Will not be ordering again.
For the food. The sushi is really great! The flavor and presentation were there! This second time around we came for the sushi.
The ramen, however, was not the best. The broth was not that flavorful for me (shoyu) and the noodles were a little soggy. I am a big ramen person though. I did not eat my take home. My wife got the Seafood Miso and liked it, but it wasn’t great reheated.
Update for Round 3:
The ramen I got this time was the Spicy Tonkotsu and it was the same as before. The texture of the noodles is kind of soggy and the broth of the ramen lacked flavor. The pork chashu was also not my favorite.
The soft shell crab was good, the sushi, as always, was amazing, and the potato croquette (appetizer) was good. Their wings are also very good. I would still recommend coming here, but not for the ramen.
Overall I would recommend coming here. I will try another ramen next time and update as needed. Great little place to come for sushi though!
The inside doesn’t fit the outside, as it may appear like a less desirable spot on a busy street; however, Cafe Brown is super chill and has a lot to offer for food and dessert. We got Ramen, a fried roll, chicken karaage, and some fried shrimp dup-bab, no desserts this time, and it was all high quality and great. Give this place a shot for some unique, quality food!
