Break Of Dawn

Housed in a Laguna Hills strip mall, chef-owner Dee Nguyen's "inventive" Eclectic-Vietnamese continues to astound devotees with "clever", "East-meets-West" twists on breakfast and lunch traditions – sausage and rice, French toast crème brûlée – plated in "huge" portions at "reasonable" prices; the "fast" service and casual, "sunny" digs also charm the frequent crowds of foodies, who merely...

Break of Dawn Restaurant Review

Open only for breakfast and lunch from Wednesdays to Sundays, and located just beyond the bustle of the Laguna Hills Mall, Break of Dawn brings some welcome Asian fusion innovation to South Orange County. Chef and proprietor Dee Nguyen worked for years as sous chef in the kitchens at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, and he brings passion and commitment to his Vietnamese-inspired brunch fare,...

Brunch is brunch, except when it isn't. Oatmeal comes brûléed, sausage comes with rice and green papaya-sesame salad. Feeling savory? Pork comes with tempura and butternut squash soup with shrimp rolls. With this menu, the brunch spot can't help but be a classic. Chef was classically trained and working at the Ritz, but homestyle morning cooking seemed more his speed. He was right.

Came on a Saturday at about 11:30 or so for a party of 2. Might be because they're doing exterior construction. It was a little hidden, maybe thats why...

The brunch entrees are above average but fall just short of good. This place could be great with a few adjustments to their menu and better upkeep. We...

--A great twist on breakfast. If you are craving a new approach to breakfast, this is worth the look. The tempura poached eggs (yes, you read that correctly) are awesome as well as the spin on chili. Menu items change, but the iced coffee is a delicious standard. Will be returning for yummy meals, again and again...

I had bookmarked this place and finally got to check out this breakfast/brunch place. Liked the outdoor seating with a big farm table in the middle for large parties. We got there half hour...

Fancy yet affordable, Break of Dawn has cultivated a fiercely loyal following. From the decor to the food, much of the style can be explained by one thing: the owner and chef Dee Nguyen is Vietnamese and was Ritz Carlton's Executive Sous Chef. Some of the popular dishes are the Duck Fat Omelet, Corned Beef with Tarragon-Cabbage, Thai Basil Pesto-Hollandaise and Hawaiian Sausage. This restaurant...
