Wagyu burger was really solid; juicy and exploding with flavor. Summer corn was a nice creative dish. Yummy, layered texture, and refreshing. Everything else was just fine but also freshly prepared. Overall good brunch place to hangout with friends!

We’ve enjoyed two experiences at Rule of Thirds but this review is for our most recent, brunch, visit. Let me start by saying that the space is hip and cool and the service has always been tremendous. The food is, for the most part, very good and near great in some cases. The chicken katsu was absolutely terrific. The bread was soft, the chicken crispy, and just enough sauce. The salad was okay, it was fresh but we tasted very little hot honey. The Japanese breakfast set was really good but just bit of moister piece of fish away from great. The hottokeki was much anticipated but was pretty eggy and the edges were dry as a bone. We also enjoy the cocktail list. The Douglas Fir-banks is tasty but I will put my fingers in the outside smear. It looks cool though. Overall, Rule of Thirds is generally a good experience.

The vibe and space are perfect!! Server is so nice as well. My favorite is the crab masaman and melonade. The smell of the shiso from the drink is so good and fresh. Also love the pickle next to the fish. Will def come back and try the brunch again.

Perfection 💯

We shared the Hottokeki (pancake) between four of us, and it was really fluffy and so delicious—perfectly balanced and not too sweet.

The Wagyu cheeseburger was incredible—super juicy and honestly left me speechless. The egg serves as a dip for the burger, which made it even better.

We also ordered the Karaage (next to the burger), Pork belly Donburi (above the burger), and Smashed potatoes (beside the donburi). Everything was solid, but the burger definitely stood out for me.

Everything was incredible here, I had to write a review. From the moment you step in the ambiance is incredible, it just feels so warm and you can tell everything is done in a way that is super intentional. We sat outside and it was a really nice space that felt somewhat private but not secluded, they have heaters as well for chillier nights. Service was incredible, our server, Nick was super attentive and informative and throughout our meal we were also attended to by several other staff members who were super prompt and friendly.

Onto the food, we ordered the Karaage chicken, Chirashi Don, and leek tempura as appetizers/sides and for a main we got the Buddhist Duck. As far as apps go everything was very flavorful, my personal favorites were the Karaage, which was perfectly crisped and had a delicious sauce, and I also enjoyed the leeks, which were super refreshing and had a nice crunch. I also ordered a Hanabi drink, which tasted like strawberry gummy candy in the best way possible.

The Buddhist Duck though was just phenomenal, one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time— I highly recommend ordering it if you’re with a group. We were 4 and we were very full at the end of our meal, I imagine it would be a lot for a smaller party. It’s 3 course, the first consists of roasted duck with an array of sauces that consist of something for everyone’s palette. Next was the duck mixed in rice (this was my favorite portion of the meal) it was just so flavorful and hearty. All of it is finished off with a small cup of duck soup, which truly brought the meal together and was the perfect note to end on. They told us they have limited quantities so worth mentioning that, we came earlier in the night and were able to get one, I’m not sure if they sell out quickly before later reservations can get to them.

All in all I had an amazing experience at Rule of Thirds, I can’t wait to come back and try more.
