Hugo's was amazing. The food was delicious and it has the most welcoming vibe. I ordered the french toast and I loved it- It was thick and buttery. The owners are the sweetest and the service was great. I would definitely come back here.

Hugo's is a must, so so so good! Great food and excellent service, will definitely stop by every time we're in the area

Hugo's is an adorable little spot. We used to come here almost weekly in high school, and both times we've come back -- in 2014 and 2024 -- the owners recognized us. Not only that, but they welcomed us with all sorts of freebies. As always, the food was hearty, the hospitality was superb, and the couple that runs it couldn't have been nicer. It's also pretty neat that they have the menu of a classic American diner as well as some Asian dishes, and it's all good. A local institution.

We went here on a trip up the coast. The food was good and service was fast. The French toast was good.

What a pleasant surprise. We thought it may just be a breakfast place but so much more than that. The woman that owns restaurant really makes you feel welcome she remembered us on 2nd visit. Her Asian roots brings some great food here. You have American breakfast favorites but if you want an Asian breakfast of fried rice and eggs it's here. Food is homemade fresh and hot. They make good coffee. The restaurant is small and it's spotless. Go for breakfast then lunch..you won't be sorry

Service with a smile and good food to boot. It was relatively quiet I came in at around 10 am. Their smile comes across as genuinely happy for you to be there. I got a basic 2 sausage, egg,pancake order and the sausage was genuinely bursting with flavor eggs were yummy and pancakes were solid. In the middle of my breakfast a patron was leaving and the owners says see you tomorrow thank you. And I completely understand why someone would have such loyal customers. I highly recommend you come sit down and eat here if you can

We passed by on the way to SF and decide to eat breakfast on the way .Found this amazing breakfast cafe right by the highway. This is a family run business and they really take care their restaurant and customer! Thank you so much for the amazing food and service! We enjoy so much especially the giant French Toast, this is the Hong Kong style French toast which is extra large, thick and fluffy! Highly recommended!

My wife and I were in Carpinteria for 2 1/2 weeks and we got off the bus from LAX at Albertson's and headed across the street to Hugo's for some nourishment about 10 AM. Noon in Minneapolis. We sat down at one of the booths and I really wanted a draft beer. OK, no. I really wanted a Diet Coke from a dispenser. Nope. $8 for a beer and $3.50 for a can of soda. Water please. This was insanity. I ordered the tri-tip with fruit and my wife got the miso soup. It came out in about 8-10 minutes. We only had our water refilled once, and we had to ask. The place is Asian-fusian, so he tri-tip was like teriyaki and it was amazing. unfortunately, they don't toast the roll they put it on, so it really isn't a sandwich. There is no way you could eat this like a grilled cheese sandwich. It becomes almost comical, if not frustrating that you cannot get a bite of bread and meat and tomato in one swallow. I should give three stars, but the fruit was beautiful and the miso soup was tasty always and the meat was amazing. I almost wish they would just have an option of just the meat over cauliflower rice. Maybe they do and I did not see. The bread was a major let down. I would never go again, but people seemed to be enjoying their breakfast.
