We come a few times a year and usually have a great experience. We came on a sunny Saturday to celebrate my octogenarian mother's birthday and had a blast. We all loved the food. Everybody was friendly and extremely professional from the manager down to the parking attendant. We really appreciated the patience of Ben and his crew to explain the new ordering system to us. read more

A large group of us came around 7pm on Tuesday and were able to get a big table for all of us. There were a few stragglers who were able to grab extra chairs from the corner. I like how you just order via QR code at the table. It makes separate checks a breeze which is really helpful for a big group. Their menu for both food and drinks is quite extensive and it can be a little overwhelming trying to decide what to get. My spicy ramen came in a huge bowl and was really good. I also enjoyed my cherry blossom mocktail. read more

Love the idea of this place! There are 4 restaurants to choose from on this menu including Hawaiian, Japanese, Korean, and American foods. I've tried a dish from all of them, and they've all been delicious. You order online via a QR code and the food is delivered to your table. Service is extremely quick and servers are very attentive. It's especially nice that they have indoor seating as well as outdoor spaces where a live band can play and a garden room area. read more

City Kitchen is a great place for groups. There is plenty of seating, and so many options to choose from on the menu. My personal favorite is the Tom Kha Ramen. It is a little spicy but (not too much) and overall delicious. You can order from a QR code on the table for minimal interaction with the staff, although they do come around occasionally to make sure your food came out correctly, clear plates, and ask if you need a box. The drink options are extensive and they also have a decent selection of mocktails! read more

I hate the new peppy vibe of Pittsburgh. This is the epitome of that. Food good but insanely expensive. Service was great. Came to the table a bunch. There's a scan QR for the ordering and drinks come fast. Good to go once to check it out. Would rec the summer instead of winter to sit outside and enjoy the ambiance more. read more

Very nice outdoor space. Can handle large parties easily. Orders are done via online ordering which makes service a little less accommodating. Highly recommend the craft drinks. read more

City Kitchen is a great option if you're not quite sure what you're in the mood for, as their menu is extensive and covers just about everything one could be craving. My guest and I opted for some comforting, warm carbs in the cold weather. She went for some ramen, and I chose the fettuccine alfredo with chicken. Her food was brought out before mine, and she finished it just as mine was brought to the table, so needless to say, it was full of flavor, warmth, and comforting goodness on a cold day. I, however, didn't love my alfredo. I found that the sauce didn't have the richness or flavor that one expects to find in an alfredo sauce. The chicken was very juicy, though. I put in a request for a refill and a to-go box (all orders are placed via web), but neither were ever brought to our table so the service left something to be desired. Overall, I will continue to go back to City Kitchen. Though this time may not have been our best experience, the menu offerings change frequently enough that it is worth giving it more chances to shine. read more

We met up with some friends here for dinner. We loved the green space for kids to run around while the adults are food. Ordering is easy via the QR codes and service was pretty fast. I started with an order of potato skins as an appetizer to share, but ended up eating 3 of the 4 because they were pretty small. They were good, but felt pretty expensive. I had the pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich with a side salad . The salad was fresh and diverse but I wasn't a fan of the pulled pork. It was somewhat slimy with very little texture, almost like it was so tender there was no substance. Overall a decent experience though. read more

This was a happening place during the week! We came for dinner on Friday, and the outdoor vibe was so chill. Kids were playing on the lawn, adults were sitting at the tables with a DJ playing music. I got the Kalua bowl from Shaka. It was a good portion. I liked that they could do half greens and half rice. The pork though was a bit too salty and not quite what I expected for Kalua pork. Food came quickly and the staff were friendly and helpful. This is a good spot for groups and parties. Free garage parking is also a plus. read more

I've come here a few times more recently and had a much better experience. The service is pretty quick and all of the runners are friendly and helpful. They also sometimes have a host seating tables which may be helpful with managing the flow better. I still think some of their prices are outrageous ($6.50 for an IC Light is criminal!!!) but they do have good happy hour deals. I got potato skins from Charred the other night that were sooo good. read more

Came for brunch with a friend with our dogs. Staff was super friendly/ we shared the spicy ahi tuna bowl and the truffle chicken sandwich with a side salad. Both were delicious! It was a 90° day and the fans overhead helped us not feel overheated on the patio especially with the dogs. Great spot! read more

City kitchen is a fun spot if you're looking for an outdoors space to grab food/drinks with friends. While nothing was spectacular, nothing was bad either. They have a really big variety menu, ranging from poke bowls to chicken wings, so everyone could find something they wanted. Service was pretty fast (although we did have a wrong dish come out), and my friends & I had a fun Sunday evening! Food: B+ Drinks: B Service: B Ambiance: B+ read more

4.5 stars. City Kitchen consists of four restaurants--Shaka (Hawaiian foods), SOMI (Asian foods), Elevate (American foods), and Charred (gourmet burgers)--plus a full bar and sometimes an additional restaurant that briefly pops up. Customers may purchase foods and beverages from one or more restaurants in one order. For years, I have eaten meals at City Kitchen, and I have ordered foods from all four restaurants. I sit at a table of my choosing, and I use my cell-phone camera to access the restaurants' menus through a QR code on my table. During my most recent visit, I could not enter coupon codes into the app, so I had to order face-to-face at the kitchen's cash register. A few employees spent much time figuring out how to apply the coupons. Customers who want takeout or delivery may use the Toast website or app. The employees always bring my foods and beverages to my table in about 10 minutes--fast! From Shaka, I enjoyed the Hawaiian Surf 'n Turf (shrimp and chicken) with mixed greens and brown rice. From SOMI, I enjoyed the vegetable-shrimp pho, beef ramen, bibimbap with bulgogi beef, and tom kha ramen (very nice broth!). From Elevate, I enjoyed the blackened salmon, garlic mashed potatoes, and house salad. From Charred, I enjoyed the wagyu cheeseburger and truffle fries. read more

If you catch it on a good day , it's great and on a bad day not as good. Little pricey but there are some hidden gems. Try the spicy Asian fries. Forgetting name of the restaurant. There are always at least 4 doing their residencies here. Cool run group ok Thursday from Fleetfeet across the street. They have a good craft beer selection usually. Little pricey but always one or two that are more reasonable. Also, it's not on their big menu but they do have yuengling for $6 and other cheaper beers. read more

I came back to City Kitchen with another friend to watch another Steeler game. When the weather is cooperating, I think City Kitchen is one of the best places to watch a sports game. The ambiance is great and I like how you can just pick a table and order off of your phone as you please. Even though everything is ordered by phone, there was still amble staff checking on tables to make sure the patrons were satisfied. I really enjoy spending time at City Kitchen. Now that it is colder out, I want to sit indoors to see how that experience is! read more

During the 412 event, the girl who got my beer had my tap my card. She then took the device back adding her own tip and submitting. I called and talked to the GM Forest who could care less that his staff committed fraud. "I don't think it was malicious" followed by explaining how the machine works for tips. I don't need anything explained - your employee committed fraud. Watch your cards when you go here read more

Amazing food!! Do not let the app ordering and all to deter you. Great options. I love ordering from multiple cuisines in 1 meal. I love the ramen and the grandpa's pierogies- such great food and a wonderful selection. Love the outside seating too when it's nice out. I've never had a bad meal here read more

I love the idea of city kitchen. If my husband and I can't decide on what to eat it's so nice to have 4 different restaurant options under one roof. They have a huge outdoor area that you can drink and eat in. The bartenders are always friendly, and mix up amazing cocktails. read more

City Kitchen in Bakery Square has a pretty cool concept. One chef & 4 different types of cuisine. Shaka has Hawaiian fusion. Somi is Vietnamese cuisine. Charred is American bar food. Elevate is elevated comfort foods. The area is seat yourself, and you can easily order with a QR code, and waiters bring you your food. It's quick and easy. My husband and I both ordered off the Somi menu. Everything we ordered was flavorful, but it wasn't anything special. There are a lot of restaurants in Pittsburgh (really anywhere for that matter), so you have to stand out. This restaurant has some pretty good food, but it doesn't stand out from the rest. Here's what we tried: [Wagyu Beef Ramen]: My husband said it was very flavorful and tasty. The portion size was big. [Bulgogi Egg Rolls]: These were just OK for me. The flavor was good, but it was just missing some pizzazz. [Sweet & Spicy Ramen]: I really enjoyed my dish. The sweet potato noodles were fun, and the taste was more sweet than spicy. I'd give it a heat level of 1 or 2. I added Japanese tempura shrimp for an extra cost. The price of the food is a little steep. My meal was 28 for my Ramen because i added the shrimp. There are several better Asian restaurants that are cheaper and taster better. Although, the food was good; I most likely won't be returning. Too many fish in the sea. read more

This place has a cool vibe. Think modern food hall with 4 dining options and a bar. Lots of funky booths and tables to sit at. A server brought us water for the table. You then can order drinks and food from your phone using the QR code on the table. Or the server can "take your order" if you don't have a smart phone. Food came out quickly and was hot. I tried the fish sandwich and Buffalo cauliflower from Elevate. We also got the Korean wagu burger from charred. The food was pretty good. I thought my fish sandwich lacked in flavor - not a lot of sauce, salty. Fries were good we liked those and I actually liked the Buffalo cauliflower! I felt that the menu was a little pricey for a "order your own" type place. $18 for some of the cocktails. PRO TIP- happy hour is Tuesday - Friday 4-6PM where they have $5 off cocktails and discounted drafts and glasses of wine. Overall a cool place. I would come back and try something else. read more

Great atmosphere especially for kids. We went for lunch on a weekday and let my kids play while we ate. It's order by phone style which is easy and efficient. We order two dishes for Shaka which were good quality. I have seen the nachos before and felt like they were lacking a bit. The bowl was awesome though. So so good! Would def go again and try another concept. read more

Great vibes, food could improve. Loved the outdoor area, such a nice place for large groups, families, lounging and playing! Great concept of being able to order from different restaurants, but the menu was so expansive that it's hard to decide what to get (think Cheesecake Factory vibes). As for when you get the food, well, it might not be what you expect. I got the tonkotsu ramen, and when it finally arrived, despite it not having a spicy symbol on the menu, it was SOOOOO SPICY. Usually I'd be fine with it, but I was still nursing and my baby reacts to spicy food, so I had to send it back. They didn't have a non-spicy broth, and I didn't have time to order something else, so I had to skip lunch that day. Sad. Hubs got California poke with rice from Shaka, and it came DRENCHED in sauce, it was almost inedible (would have been inedible with the rice). Fish was fresh though. Got baby a terriyaki chicken bowl, came with only a few pieces of chicken also absolutely drenched in sauce over rice, no veggies or anything. Would be nice to have a couple pieces of vegetables and less sauce. Also got a passionfruit lemonade, tasted like water. Blegh Friend's pho came out after everyone was done with their food even though she was one of the first ones to order, so that also wasn't great. Their space is amazing, but just wish their food could be at the same standard! They definitely have the potential to be a hit but right now leaves a lot to be desired. read more

Quick, pleasant, and friendly service. The food was well seasoned. The ramen was the highlight of my meal, however, it was a bit spicier than expected, but otherwise full of flavor. The interior is a bit loud when running at full capacity which made it hard to hear and talk to others. The outside looked like a great area to spend with kids. Our party had some issues navigating the qr code menu, but staff was able to take orders instead. read more

Food: 3/5 (be careful about what you order!) Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 5/5 My husband and I ordered the stir-fried ramen and pork nachos, which were delicious. Their mocktails are a steal at $5 each. My mango mojito mocktail was on the tart side, but that's how I like it. I would advise those who are familiar with authentic Asian cuisine to stay away from their Asian soup-based dishes (my reason for taking off one star). My friends said that the tonkotsu ramen was overly spicy, and the pho broth was not flavorful. Both dishes took so long to make that everyone else had finished eating by the time they arrived at our table. It's worth mentioning that our entire group grew up in California, so we have very high standards for Asian food. However, I'm still giving four stars because my husband and I loved our food. What we were most impressed with was how easily it is to order and pay via the QR code provided at each table. It's great for groups because then you don't have to go through the awkward process of dividing up the bill and Venmo charging. Each person/family can open up an individual tab and order and pay directly on their phones. I would be ecstatic if more restaurants had this type of set-up! Ambiance is great outside. There are lots of games provided for family fun on the lawn (the cornhole bags were soggy and bloated from the rain and should be replaced though), with a giant TV set up to show the Pirates game. read more

What a disappointment. Ordered General Tso chicken from favorites. It came with portions overcooked and woody, some burnt, the whole dish tasted burnt. No server came back to check. No one to flag down to make things right. The resturant was noisy, open and generally uncomfortable. This dish so missed the mark. Tip, try Bejing Noodle #9 for General Tso . read more

City Kitchen is my go to spot for happy hour, friend in town, or after work dinner. They have a ton of variety, ample parking in the Bakery Square garage, service is fast and friendly, and you own your own timelines with the scan to order menus (a good thing, since there is so much to choose from). This is a great spot for folks who have a wide variety of dietary needs because there are so many options. The outdoor dining options are also perfect, especially during seasons with big games. The downsides, the prices are steep on food (though portions are decent and drinks are very reasonable), they don't always have every item that appears to be on the menu, and the food itself though good, really isn't great. That being said, it really is an overall total package, and I do recommend! read more

This was my first visit to the space since it became City Kitchen. The customer experience is the same as are some of the current restaurants. As I went for brunch after yoga in The Portal ended at 11:30, there wasn't a queue so instead of self-ordering conveniently from the table, I placed my order quicker at the Charred counter. There are two brunch menus, Eastern and Western. There was a Fall cocktail specials menu at the table. On the big yard screen and inside televisions was the College Football MAC Championship game. The free 3 hour parking in the South Garage on weekends made it a nice leisurely paced social experience at City Kitchen. read more

City Kitchen has taken over the space formerly owned by Galley Bakery Square. The layout is the same as the former. There is a full bar and 4 concept restaurants. Returning from Galley Bakery Square are Elevate and Somi. New to the concepts are Shaka which was formerly in Federal Galley and Charred-reviewed separately. My son and I came here to check out the place and try out some of the new offerings. I was about to order from Elevate but when I saw the salmon burger over at Charred, I knew I had to go with that. He decided to go with Somi where he had a bimibap and Korean noodle stir fry. Somi is also serving a couple of items from the former Banhmilicious that was in the former Smallman Galley years ago. This concept has a good variety of both vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free items and my son thoroughly enjoyed his meal. Ordering is a bit different here now. You must have a table so you can give them your table number before you place your order. This is in order that they can serve it to you. Cash and cards are accepted at all 4 of the concepts with you have to pay the credit card fee if you pay that way. As with the galleys before this place is pricey! However, you are paying for chef's work so keep that in mind. They have stations where you can get a bottle of water as well as condiments, utensils, and drink accessories. When you are finished with your meal an employeed will come and clear the table for you. City Kitchen faces an indoor alcove opposite AVP pizzeria and Jeni's ice cream. Two hour free garage parking is available during daylight hours. I enjoyed my lunch at Charred and am looking forward to returning to trying out the other concepts on a future visit. Located in Bakery Square in East Liberty both street parking and a parking garage is available. read more

We've enjoyed coming here since it was the Galley at Bakery Square. It's a really nice space with tons of seating, great restaurants and a great bar. We've tried almost all the restaurants and they offer great food. So I is by far my favorite. Nothing beats their bulgogi egg rolls and bowls. They are a bit pricey but it makes for a fun night out. My husband and I have had some date nights and have come for trivia. The bar is great too makes awesome drinks. They have great happy hour specials. The people who take care of the place and bring you your food are very nice, make you feel welcome and well taken care of. They are training their front of house right. I also love you can order at the tables. It's a fun spot for a night out. read more
