I’ve heard about Four Chairs for a long time, and finally found a chance to try it! Even though it’s located on Mission Street, the interior looks newly renovated with a modern industrial vibe. It was a bit stuffy inside though—the ventilation could be better. The staff were really attentive and made sure we were taken care of, and the food came out super fast! This place is definitely designed for aesthetics—every dish is so photogenic! Even the menu is full of beautiful pictures, it honestly made it hard to choose! Every drink and dish looked amazing. We ended up ordering the K-bomb Benny and Mascarpone Cheese Pancakes, along with two drinks! The portions were surprisingly generous—definitely recommend coming with friends so you can share and try more dishes. We saw quite a few tables of 3–4 people doing exactly that. The Korean-style sweet chili chicken in the K-bomb Benny wasn’t too spicy, and it went perfectly with the crispy potatoes! The pancakes were also a pleasant surprise—the mascarpone cream was rich but not too sweet! Overall, this fusion-style brunch spot felt super fun and unique. The food was solid, and at around $30 per person, it didn’t feel too pricey. I’d love to come back and try more items next time!

6/10 recommend (personally). Very nice atmosphere, and cute brunch spot. My hubby really liked his French toast, but mine was ehhh. I wouldn’t say , I wouldn’t ever come back, but very slim Chance I would. SN: they have cute kids plates!

Great place, but extremely noisy - better acoustic insulation would make a big difference. The shiny QR codes placed on the tables are very hard to scan, and service felt a bit rushed. The volcano coffee was excellent, and the marzipan pancakes were incredible (not too sweet). Expect a wait.

I visited with friends and the food was tasty. Drinks are also cool. Environment inside was also nice. For dishes, we tried Pacific Sunrise, K-Bomb Benny, K-Bomb Chicken Sandwich, Chicken & Waffle, Mascarpone Pancake (delicious ) and French Toast Crème Brûlée. Drinks that we tried: Volcano Coffee, Butterfly Lychee, Mocha Lava, Matcha Strawberry and Matcha Latte all delicious. Definitely recommend this brunch place for a try!

this was a nice brunch place in the mission! they’re super popular though so be prepared to wait for at least 30 minutes on the weekends. i loved the butterfly lychee drink, and the mascarpone pancakes were so soft. the korean fried chicken wasn’t anything special. i feel like the chicken could’ve been more moist and the skin crispier. they bring the food out relatively fast despite being so busy, and it’s an overall nice atmosphere for brunch!

Charming Brunch Spot Worth Discovering Tucked in the middle of a neighborhood that might not be the most polished, Four Chairs is a true hidden gem. The space is welcoming and stylish—once you’re inside, it feels like you’ve stepped into a completely different world. The food was genuinely good, but what really stood out was the presentation—absolutely picturesque. Also, great service! A meal with a drink and tip, expect to spend about $30 per person, which feels reasonable given the quality and ambiance. If you’re in the area—or even if you’re not—it’s definitely worth the detour. I’ll be back!

Four Chairs is a cute boutique restaurant for good quick food. The service was fast & friendly and the food was fresh. We had the loco Plato & the crispy chicken sandwich. Cranberry mimosa was also good, gave a little buzz.

Nice place to have a brunch or lunch, but be aware of an hour wait on weekends. I liked the casual vibe of this place (people chose it for morning dates as well as for friends meetups and family brunches). Service was very fast food came pretty fast too. We tried K bomb Benny, French toast cream brûlée and volcano coffee- everything was good and presentation was excellent. Definitely will visit again
