I can't speak to the ambiance, as I ordered delivery service. It showed up well packed & perfectly intact. The breakfast burrito was piping hot, with that lovely crispness on the exterior of the tortilla, but still soft chewiness inside. The eggs were perfectly cooked & the sauces gave a nice zip! The iced mocha was also quite tasty. read more

Chicken Sausage Wrap ~ Review *Sauces - worse than grocery bought pre-packaged sauces *Burrito - you're better off watching a 2 min youtube video and you'll make a better burrito at home I get that chicken sausages are a "healthier" version of their pork and beef counterparts... but whoever invented chicken sausage needs to be arrested and whoever thought using chicken sausage for a burrito was a good idea needs to be arrested right after. read more

We went to try out this new kosher establishment in the neighborhood with my uncle. My uncle has a very limited palate so the children's scrambled eggs and tater tots were perfect for him. Made the real kid in the group want it as well lol. The weight conscious parents chose the salads and we thought they were both pretty good. Got a colorful smoothie and it did make us think of Hawaii for a brief moment. Prices are pretty good so we'll be back. read more

Absolutely Incredible! We had the most delicious meal from Hatch Kitchen, and it was beyond expectations! The salad was packed with flavor -- fresh, crisp, and hearty enough to feed two people easily. The combination of pasta, greens, juicy chicken, and perfectly balanced dressing made every bite a dream. It's that rare kind of dish that feels indulgent but is very healthy. I have a Master of Science in Holistic Nutrition and Hatch Kitchen has mastered the art of healthy food that satisfies and satiates-- just perfect! And that cookie... wow. The perfect ending to the meal. What really makes Hatch Kitchen special, though, is Sarah, the owner. She's such a wonderful woman -- warm, genuine, and clearly passionate about creating food that nourishes and delights. You can taste the love and care she puts into everything that comes out of Hatch kitchen. If you haven't tried Hatch Kitchen yet, do yourself a favor and go. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and food that just makes you feel good. We'll definitely be ordering again! read more

The barista's and servers are all very kind and attentive to customer needs if you want to substitute or change things, and the restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful!

Amazing New Spot on Pico! Hatch Kitchen is an INCREDIBLE new kosher addition to Pico Blvd! I had the Asian Chicken Salad and the Steak & Egg Wrap, both were fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. The salad had a great crunch and the sesame dressing was spot-on. The wrap was hearty with perfectly cooked steak and crispy tots, comfort food, done right. The quality of ingredients is thoughtfully sourced, kosher, and served in eco-friendly packaging. Quick service, clean space, and great ambiance. Can't wait to go back and try more! read more

It's like a Kosher Erewhon! Do yourself a favor and check it out- The Choco Maca, PB&J and Or-gan-ic smoothies are amazing. Another great one is the Crater-Aid sub pineapple juice for oat milk add protein scoop. A side of ribeye steak or side of rotisserie chicken with a side of Hatch sauce are great and filling for simple, quick protein meals that keep you full for hours. The EBC, Asian chicken and chicken Caesar salads and wraps are also great. It's probably one of the only places in existence where you can get a chocolate shake and steak together and it's totally Kosher!

Hatch Kitchen in Pico is a clean, warm and inviting little spot with solid food across the board and chill vibes. The wings have a great rubs and wraps shine with queso and tots. The Hatch breakfast sandwich is a consistent winner, but all wraps are also perfectly toasted (if that is your preference). Smoothies and coffee are solid. The green shake is better than it sounds and the blue is off-the-chain-good. It's like we now have our own little kosher Erewhon counter. Veggies like cauliflower and green beans were a surprise highlight: crunchy, flavorful, and evenly cooked. The best thing is that they focus on healthy ingredients without seed oils (except in some sauces), and the food leaves you feeling satisfied without greasy or bloated feelings like most places. We need more spots like that in Pico. Overall, a prime place worth coming back to. read more

I had the Steak and Eggs Wrap and it was delicious, crackling with an unexpected variety of flavors that cohere into a truly satisfying meal. The chef, Elon, has come up with a unique menu that reflects the best of kosher cuisine using fresh, local ingredients. This is hugely tasy, unpretentious food that should satisfy even the most discriminating of palates. The Choco Maca Smoothie was a delightful and refreshing treat. The food does not sit like a time bomb in your stomach; rather it's light and fluffy yet totally filling. And, dare I say: healthy. Next time I head to the airport I'm going to pick up a Hatch wrap and take it on the flight rather than choke down the dreadful kosher meals. Service was great. The staff--especially the delightful and chipper Niki--are friendly, eager to help, and well versed in the menu choices. Hatch Kitchen is clean, well-lit, and exudes a friendly neighborhood/family vibe. Highly recommended. read more

From the Business

Specialties

Hatch Kitchen is a forward-thinking, quick-service restaurant model designed to meet the demands of today’s fast-paced urban lifestyle in the heart of Pico-Robertson. Our concept blends efficiency, quality, and modern aesthetics to deliver a streamlined customer experience, focusing on fresh, kosher, chef-driven menus with high operational standards. Emphasizing digital ordering, minimal wait times, and sustainable packaging, the brand caters to health-conscious and time-sensitive customers without compromising flavor or experience.

History

Established in 2025.

We’re the Adivi family, Pico-Robertson locals. We want what every busy family wants — easy access to feel-good fuel. We’re on a mission to bring West LA quick, crave-worthy kosher bites without the additives and compromises that usually come with convenience. Elan brings over a decade of experience across every corner of the food world — from fine dining to fast casual — and now he’s firing up the rotisserie of his dreams. Meanwhile, Sarah’s deep in her wellness era and plans to dust a little raw fermented cacao across Pico Blvd. just to see what sprouts.

Meet the Business Owner: Elan A.

Hi, I’m Elan — the founder and owner of Hatch Kitchen along with my wife Sarah. Food has always been more than just a business for me. I’ve always believed that a great meal can change someone’s day — whether it’s a quick lunch between meetings, a family dinner after a long week, or catering for a celebration that really matters. That belief is what led me to build Hatch Kitchen in the heart of Pico-Robertson. I started with a simple goal: create high-quality kosher food that feels elevated, fresh and clean but still comforting and accessible. What motivates me most is community. Seeing familiar faces, catering local events, and growing alongside this neighborhood has been incredibly meaningful. Hatch Kitchen isn’t just a restaurant to me — it’s something I’m building with intention, heart, and long-term vision. Thank you for being part of the journey.

They will check-in enough to ensure everything with the dining experience is going well, but not too frequently to impede on privacy.

Ginger & Cardamom Chai Latte (5/5) House-made chai with ginger and cardamom. If you like herbal spices, this drink was comforting and warming. It's not sweet, which I like and it paired well with the food dishes. 2. Crab Bhuna (4.75/5) Crab meat simmered in fragrant spices then topped with ginger, fennel seed, and curry leaves. It is served with soft, subtly sweet banana buns The crab meat was fresh and honestly, you couldn't even tell it's crab. It's seasoned perfectly with the aromatic Indian spices. The banana buns were interesting ... it was a bit on the dry side, but if you stuffed the airy pockets of the bun with the crab meat, it's not too bad. The banana bun had an interesting flavor profile; a mix of sweet-bitterness to it. 3. Sweet Potato Chaat (5/5) One of my favorite dishes here. It is sweet potato chunks mixed with a sauce blend of sweet corn, yogurt, tamarind, mint chutney and pomegranate. The sauce was light, refreshing, and tangy, balancing the natural sweetness of the sweet potato perfectly. 4. Brunch Dosa Rice & Lentil Crepe (4.75/5) Basically think of a crepe, but a super large size one. I just love their crepe - it was crispy yet doughy with a cheesy flavor. The crepe was stuffed with turmeric mashed potatoes. I typically do not like mash potatoes, but when it's served this way, I approve. The dish comes with a side of 3 sauces - sambar (lentil-based vegetable curry that's often seasoned with coriander seeds, cumin, fenugreek, dry red chilies), curry, coconut and tomato chutney. A perfect dish for sharing and for trying out the various flavors of Indian cuisine. 5. Wagyu Beef Keema Kulcha (4.5/5) Minced Wagyu beef that's seasoned well with aromatic spices and onion inside an Indian leavened flat bread. Highly recommend and will be back to try out other dishes!

You tried Almost Famous for Sunday brunch and it was absolutely fantastic!…read more Located in the heart of the Culver City arts district, this restaurant is a really great addition to the neighborhood. We went there on a sunday, which was fortunate for us and easy day to find free parking on the street. The interior is beautifully designed, sleek and cozy We ordered one of the popular spinach and mozzarella flatbreads, there are popular paneer and we shared the special dosa platter. Everything was beautifully plated and very generous portions We want to go back for dinner try more of their savory dishes and definitely come back for brunch because they do have both American and Indian options to choose from.. and the French toast looked amazing!

I do wish they'd bring back a couple of my old favorites, especially the vegan Reuben and the Impossible taco salad. Those were standouts. Thankfully, they still have the vegan bánh mì on the menu, which never disappoints. It's consistently flavorful, fresh, and satisfying--definitely a reliable choice if you're looking for a solid vegan option. Parking was easy; we left the car in one of the nearby garages and took a short walk over. Between the great weather, the patio seating, and a dependable vegan sandwich, it made for a really enjoyable lunch.

Sure, it gets busy sometimes, but the quality of the food and ingredients here is always so good and the portion sizes are perfect. The staff is also always super friendly and eager to help, and it makes this experience feel less like a quick-casual or fast food place and more upscale. I love their Modern Caesar Salad, Not so Fried Chicken Sandwich, Farm Club Sandwich, and Turkey Avo Salsa Verde Sandwich. They also had great seasonal items as well! For this location, you can park at the Culver Steps or at any of the parking garages nearby for 1 hour of free parking!

The service was excellent, and the cashier at the counter was very helpful as a first time visitor deciding what I should order. I don't quite remember what I purchased, but it was some sort of roast beef sandwich with arugula, crispy shallots, and romesco on focaccia. The bread is the star of the show here, it was incredibly fresh and fluffy with some flaky salt on top. The other components were also top notch, everything was really well balanced and felt super high quality. They seemed to sell out pretty quickly as we were sitting out front for awhile enjoying our meal, so going early is the best move!

The service was friendly. The place was nice, although I did not enjoy sitting next to the bussing area. Everything that hit the table was absolutely excellent.

I think out of all the places I've traveled to so far, my favorite would have to be Italy. During a…read morelazy afternoon after visiting the Pantheon in Rome, we had our first experience with All'Antico after taking a 5 minute walk down the road. They actually had 2 separate locations flanking the pedestrian road, so there were two long lines snaking out in opposite directions. While we were waiting in line, we bumped into a couple from Spain who were also visiting. They gave my wife some personal recommendations, advising we get the blood orange soda with our sandwiches. After getting said sandwiches (the La Paradiso), we nibbled on them while walking to Sant'Ignazio of Loyola Church, which is that cathedral where there's a mirror directed up towards the murals on the ceiling and a huge selfie line. Hot damn were those sandwiches good. The thinly sliced mortadella paired perfectly with that buttery, green pistachio spread. The only challenge for my taste buds was the mild oral trauma I sustained from punching through the crispy bread; your gums started to feel it by the time you devoured your sandwich. But we liked it so much that when we later took the train to Florence, we sought All'Antico again at their original location. I thought that would be my last experience with All'Antico (unless, of course, I came back to Italy). So imagine my surprise when later that year I heard All'Antico had coincidentally opened a branch in Los Angeles, although rather awkwardly situated in Koreantown. Even though we live 30 minutes away, we made the drive immediately. There was no way this remote All'Antico location, thousands of miles from Italy, would live up to the experience I had in Rome earlier that year. But I was mistaken. Not only is the taste spot on, but the bread they serve is actually chewier and removed the gum calisthenics I suffered in Italy. And yes, they also have the blood orange soda as well. It's a little weird their location is in Koreatown, but not a big deal; we'll usually do a bingsu run afterward. Just like their locations in Italy, All'Antico is small but they do have a small collection of bar seats, some of which overlook the staff as they're making your sandwich. Be mentally prepared though to take it to go depending on how busy it is. Parking sucks too; there's street parking only, but if you come on Sunday you don't have to pay. Every so often now, we'll make the 30 minute drive just to relive that slice of Italy we experienced nearly 2 years ago. Thankfully, not a lot of people recognize how good this place is yet, as the lines aren't crazy long like they are in Italy. For all the other Yelpers in on it too, let's keep it our little secret for now.

Lunch rush came around 1:30pm. The workers were kind and helpful, each working diligently to complete everyone's order timely. I ordered the Mamma Mia, Dante, New Yorker--with Dante coming out as my fav. Shoutout to their truffle sauce, light yet not overbearing! Loved to see how they only use focaccia that just come out of the oven, and they cut your sandwich's meat from the meat hunk on an order basis. Very fresh, never greasy. I thought the Dante and Mamma Mia could improve by adding just one more ingredient as a cherry on top, like a sort of nut (walnuts, pine nuts) or something that helps the sandwich spark. Would love to see a bit more arugula too. No public bathroom--closest one is probably Hmart across the street (needs a code). Parking is metered, but there's free neighborhood parking 1-2 blocks away if you're able to find a spot. There's a few seats (5-6) and a standing bar around the perimeter of the store. Also, the drinks are money but you can ask for a water cup for free.
