I tried kimchi carbonara and cast iron stone axe, both were amazing. It was perfect mix of Korean and American which I really like. I came here first time for brunch but this time it was dinner time. I love coming here for both brunch and dinner.
All staff are friendly and good vibes. On the edge of San Mateo downtown and easy to find parking.

We came to Whisper Korean Brunch on a Saturday with our kids and family, and it was such a great experience.

We ordered the seaweed pasta and fried chicken & waffles, and everything was delicious. The seaweed pasta was flavorful and unique, and the fried chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Paired with waffles, it was a big hit — especially with the kids, who kept saying how good it was and called it “special.”

The space is warm, stylish, and very family-friendly. Even though it was busy on the weekend, the atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming.
Definitely a spot we’ll come back to again. Highly recommend for family brunch!

Whisper is a recent addition to San Mateo’s brunch scene, bringing a Korean-inspired culinary experience to downtown. It occupies the former Wursthall location, with some interior changes and some updated seating arrangements.

We arrived around 10 am to find the restaurant quite busy, but the staff was friendly and welcoming. In addition to paper menus, there are QR codes on the tables for viewing the menu, though you currently need to place your order with a server. Given that this is a new establishment still figuring out its logistical processes, this is understandable.

The menu is well-curated with plenty of choices without being overwhelming. We ordered the Sea and Green Benedict, Dakjuk, Sweet and Salt, and Matcha Pancake. For drinks, we chose a Matcha Latte, an Americano, and a Grapefruit Americano. The food and drinks were prepared quickly, and the presentation was appetizing.

The standout dish from our order was the Dakjuk, a rare find on menus, which I had only previously seen at a restaurant in Japan Town, SF. However, some of the other dishes were a bit hit or miss. The Sweet and Salt chicken needed a bit more seasoning, the Hollandaise sauce on the Sea and Green Benedict lacked the expected savory flavor, and the Matcha Pancake could benefit from being less thick to allow the toppings to flow nicely when uncovered.

Pricewise they are reasonable with some are at higher price for breakfast/brunch dishes

One suggestion for improvement is to avoid repeatedly asking customers if they are done with their food, especially when there is still something on their plate. It’s best to let customers decide when they are finished and have them request the plate to be removed.

Overall, it was a good dining experience.
For now it it between 3 to 4.

Came here for brunch and had a good experience. The space is nice, open, and comfortable. Even though it was busy, it didn’t feel overwhelming, and we were able to relax and enjoy our time. It’s a good spot to sit and talk without feeling rushed.

Service was friendly and easygoing. Our server checked in a few times, gave helpful suggestions, and everything came out smoothly. Nothing felt forced or overly formal, which we appreciated.

The food was really good. Simple, flavorful, and satisfying. Portions were just right, and everything tasted fresh. We finished our plates and felt full but not heavy. Overall, it’s a solid place with good food and a nice vibe. Would come back again.

The food was outstanding. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, not just typical brunch dishes thrown together. The portions were satisfying without feeling heavy, and the presentation made it feel a little upscale without being pretentious. Their cocktails were also a highlight — refreshing, well-balanced, and actually complemented the food instead of overpowering it.

This place is amazing!!!! Their food is great and their service is fantastic. My daughter has nut allergies and the waiter, Jayden, was so patient and friendly that he took time to explain to me about the dishes. My family had such a wonderful time and I was completely worry free for the entire meal.

came at 11 and the wait was 45+ minutes. it was pretty hectic with many people at the doorway but the interior was aesthetic and staff were working hard. after seated and ordered, food arrived very quickly and were enjoyable. the tables were a bit small so it was hard to place the food but mango pancakes and the cream spaghetti were very good! unfortunately the matcha latte had barely any taste
