Popular Asian-American fusion brunch restaurant in San Mateo, known for its creative and unique dishes. The interior is bright, clean, and welcoming. Wait times can vary, and you’ll likely have to wait during peak hours unless you visit right when they open.
The menu is fairly extensive, but the choices are well balanced and not overwhelming. We ordered the chicken croffle, berries pancake, crab cake Benedict, and tom yum scramble, along with Thai iced tea, coffee, and lemonade.
Despite the restaurant being at full capacity, our food arrived pretty quickly. The dishes were unique, and delicious. Presentation also good. Service was friendly and efficient throughout the visit.
Price-wise, it’s on the higher side, but the quality and creativity of the food make it worthwhile. My advice is to come early to avoid long wait times and enjoy a smoother dining experience.

Pretty good food and service. Wait was of about 15minutes for 2 people on a Saturday.
Expensive but what isn’t around these parts? Definitely worth the visit.
4 stars because the silverware was dirty and we had to ask for new ones. Also, they offer those small little creamers but if you ask they do have real milk.

It was a beautiful Monday morning. With time to spare, I headed to Taste and Glory for a fun little brunch vibe before class. My partner and I ordered the Blue Butterfly Lychee drink, the Thai Tea French Toast and the Tom Yum scramble. I thought everything tasted fantastic. The drink came out first, and though it was really strong in flavor, after diluting it a bit, it was perfect. It was also a lot more purple than blue but that didn’t take away from flavor. The Thai Tea French Toast’s Thai Tea sauce was perfect. It had a really strong Thai Tea flavor and the texture of the french toast was nice and soft/fluffy. However they did garnish with a piece of parsley, which I absolutely despise (like fr, why garnish a sweet dish with a very savory herb instead of something like mint). Anyways, the Tom Yum scramble was really great as well. For $30 I was scared that it wouldn’t be worth it, but the portion is actually really large and there is so much crab in it, I see why it is priced that way. Overall, I really enjoyed every aspect of this place. From the food to the ambiance and the service, everything was great and I can see why this place is so hyped/crowded.

Update: Taste and Glory is hands down one of my favorite brunch places in the bay area. This time around, my partner and I ordered a more basic omelet as well as the crab cake eggs benedict and the thai tea. Both of the food items were delicious and cooked really well. They are plated well and really feel complete. In addition, the drinks are always so good here and have so much flavor. The thai tea was actually very tea forward and not too creamy. Food here and service here are both 10/10. I really appreciate all of their attention to detail here.

Amazing Asian Fusion Brunch in San Mateo!

Location:
Located on El Camino Real near Hobart Ave (12th Ave), right across from a strip of apartments. There’s street parking out front and additional parking in the rear.

They’ve set up a small black extendable divider outside for busy hours — since there’s not much room to wait once you step inside. If you see a line, you’ll need to wait outside until it’s your turn. It’s first come, first serve, and the whole party must be present before being seated.



Visit Experience:

A friend from the Bay Area recommended this spot, so we came on a Saturday morning for brunch before heading out on a Napa winery trip. When we arrived, there was already a line of people waiting! It looks like they might have two connected dining areas, but it still gets packed quickly.



Service:

The staff and servers were super friendly and helpful. Service speed was impressive — our food arrived in under 5 minutes even though the restaurant was full!



️ What We Ordered:
• Chicken Croffle – Hands down one of the best chicken & waffle (croffle) dishes I’ve ever had — even better than the famous Poppy + Rose in LA! The sauce that came with it was incredibly good (wish I knew what it was!).
• Tom Yum Scramble – A croissant filled with Dungeness crab, mushrooms, and potatoes, all flavored with a Tom Yum twist. Such a creative and tasty fusion combo.
• Ribeye Steak with Eggs – Simple but solid! The steak was tender, flavorful, and pre-cut, making it easy to enjoy.

I’ve also heard that their Crème Brûlée French Toast is a must-try next time!



⭐ Overall:

A top-notch, highly recommended brunch spot for anyone visiting or living in the Bay Area. Perfect for a chill weekend brunch with friends or loved ones — great food, friendly staff, and quick service all around.

The restaurant has a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes it perfect for a relaxed weekend brunch. I definitely recommend checking it out if you’re in the area!

Ordered their Honey Chicken Benedict’s and I was so pleasantly surprised — my favorite hollandaise sauce I have ever tried so far. I could not pick between Early Grey tea and Oreo Latte; so I got both. It was a really sunny day when I went and it was nice the space allowed for the natural light to flood in. I saw they have other innovative drinks/dishes in the menu — therefore I definitely plan to go back. The servers were attentive and efficient and polite. I went there by myself so it was relief they were welcoming and I appreciated that they checked on me and made sure I had what I needed at my table. Because they were kind, I felt could ask for their assistance comfortably. Overall I had an enjoyable time and I felt happy with the food I ordered.

Super lovely place! Had a nice laugh admiring some of the collected Cry baby dolls, and nicely decorated

It’s a fun fusion restaurant/brunch, although it does get pretty crowded. I’m sure long lines form here, but I went at a good time and got a seat fairly quickly (less than 6 mins)

Would definitely come again, even if a little on the pricey side

(I ordered the Dungeness omelette, behind is the Thai French toast bread, super sweet and good, and I forgot what the other 2 plates were)

My friend and I visited for brunch around 11:20am on a Sunday. We did have to wait in a line outside but were let in after less than 10 mins. I ordered the crispy honey chicken benedict and an iced ube and my friend ordered the carbonara udon and an iced tea. They were able to accomodate changing the poached egg on the udon to a scrambled egg for my friend. The food was delicious and I especially loved the crispy chicken with the hollandaise sauce. The ube drink with the whipped cream and sprinkles was unfortunately too sweet for my tastes. My friend also the uniqueness of her udon. Staff were also friendly and checked in on us multiple times.

Taste of Glory is very quaint place to eat at. The food presentation is spot on. I had the mascarpone pancakes. They were very bland. My husband had the steak and eggs. He said it was delicious. My son had the chicken croffle. He said it was delicious. The coffee is so-so. They only have drip coffee. Instead of the coffee order the “Blue Butterfly”. The wait is not bad and the service is great!

Arrived around 1pm on a Friday no reservations just walked in. There was 7 tables in front of us we waited maybe 10 minutes then we got sat all of a sudden many people must of left and didn’t cross their name off the wait list. Really nice decoration and cute lighting fixtures. Noise level was perfect noisy enough you can’t hear other tables conversation but not so noisy you can’t hear the person across the table from you without raising your voice.

Our server noticed our table was wobbling a little bit and fixed it right away. Great service and very friendly.

Drinks were ok might try their Thai ice tea instead next time.

Ordered promptly after being seated we knew what we wanted, while we were waiting to be seated. Has the basil ribeye and the crab cake Benedict and a creme brûlée French toast for dessert.

Drinks came out right away within 3 minutes and food was pretty fast both the ribeye and crab cakes Benedict came out within 10 minutes or so.

Ribeye is cooked to medium dont think you can change the doneness but it was very delicious. The rice as very fragrant and perfect sunny side up egg.

Crab cake Benedict with a sriracha chipotle hollandaise sauce was tasty nice and crispy crab cake and not too fishy taste or smell.

Definitely would ordered these 2 again.

French toast we ordered right before last call it wasn’t that good. Just a thick pastry creme type sauce slathered on subpar French toast with some sugar brûlée on top. With some fresh berries and walnuts. I wouldn’t recommend ordering this.

Bathrooms was spacious and clean.

Accepts American Express also split bills.
