Reviews for Alpaca Brunch Cafe in Idyllwild-Pine Cove, CA
This place was recommended to me by my Airbnb host, and specifically the bulgogi. I usually lower my expectations for any type... of Asian cuisine when not in the vicinity of a major city, but I always withhold judgement if I end up trying it. The bulgogisandwich was really tasty, had a real kick from the spices which was awesome. My fingers were dripping red when eating thesandwich, sign of a good meal. The kimchi was absolutely homemade and it really tasted so. Whoever's umma's or halmoni's recipethey're using, keep using it because it's really tasty and real good. Awesome to eat well executed Korean flavors out in themountains. The fires were perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Service was great as well! Read more
Cool weather, cool view &:cool manu, the restaurant is situated in a very desired real estate in the town. I ordered a dish of... Chicken Katsu w/Curry. The chicken was breaded & deep fried. Base was sweet rice, which I like. Japanese curry over the top ofchicken, potatoes & carrots were simple taste but a little hot. Side salad was looking good but I didn't get any taste becauseof my finicky companion ate all. My companion asked me how was the Katsu. I told my finicky friend that it was good. My friendnibbled ate it and silenced. Read more
Sat outside on the patio. It was warm but refreshing. Our waiter was charming and attentive. We managed to ear every last... drop of food. Vegetables dumplings fresh kale a little heavy on the garlic but the dipping sauce was yum. Chicken tortilla soupwas average. Broth was more like water, but still tasty. The chicken Asian salad ????had fresh cut sweet oranges ????in thesalad, chicken was cooked to perfect. We did get another side of dressing. My husband devoured it Read more
Fabulous breakfast & great overall experience. Def want to try the asian-fusion dishes next time!
Hello Googlers, Today was an adventure around a lively town in the hidden gems of riverside county. My family was hungry and... this place was at the top of our list to visit. We were greeted and sat down fairly quickly which was nice given the COVIDrestrictions and all. This place was on the top of our list to visit because of the reviews and the menu items. We came duringlunch so breakfast was not open for us :(.... I love me some breakfast but I ended up getting the chicken Katsu curry withcarrots and potatoes. The chicken was crunchy as it should be and moist but the flavor profile was not what I’d expect. I wastaken back by the large salad that accompanied the dish as the combo doesn’t compliment each other. I wish the salad wasreplaced by more of the curry as most Asian style restaurants I’ve visited would do. Perhaps that would have made the dishmore enjoyable for me but then again if the menu actually noted it had a salad that came with it I would not of ordered thatdish. My wife tried the yaki-udon dish and felt the dish was not traditional by any means and was designed to satisfy those whohave never been exposed to Asian food. What didn’t help on this review was how an item that was ordered ended up not gettingdelivered(appetizer :() but good thing the waiter took it off our bill. This place isn’t a bad place and may not be my go tofor lunch for Asian cuisine. I’ll have to swing back around for their breakfast one of these days. I just hope they can win meover then. Good luck here Googlers and hope your experience is better than mine. Read more
