    Came here for dinner. Service was friendly. A lot of takeout orders. Ambiance is casual. Food was fresh. Would recommend.

    Tried Local kitchens for the first time yesterday. It was simply amazing. The server was very accommodating and explained to us, that everything is made from scratch and fresh every day. I will definitely be going back.

    Geisha's Kiss
    Laura E.

    Bookmarked Local Kitchens for a few years and decided to meet a friend there this evening. I got the Geisha's Kiss from Sushirrito and my friend got a salad from Proposition Chicken. I like that Sushirrito allows you to remove ingredients, which in my case were the cucumbers. However, they put in WAY too much lettuce! I like lettuce just fine but if I'm paying $18, I want - and should get - more ahi. While I love the concept, Sushirrito is just not the same caliber as Oke Poke's pokerritos. My friend seemed to like her salad and the portion was generous. Ordering on the screen was easy. My order didn't take too long. The parking lot is small but I was able to find a spot. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available; we sat inside. I wish Local Kitchens still had items from Señor Sisig, The Melt, Curry Up Now, and Humphry Slocombe. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back but if I were in the area and someone wanted to go, I wouldn't be opposed. I'd try one of the falafel or Mexican dishes next time.

    What a cool concept! We wanted a late night meal so my nephew suggested this spot after one of his friends told him about it. They're open pretty late. I think Thursdays they're open till midnight cuz it was about 11pm when we wandered in here. The space inside is a little on the smaller side, but that's okay. We took our food to go. You can order off a tablet and it's super easy. They have such cool selections. It's a few different local places I'm assuming and you can order some menu items from there. I ordered a fried chicken sandwich and fries. Mys husband and nephew got the sweet onion burgers. But they also have pizza and sushi burritos and tacos... there's literally something for everyone if you're not sure what to eat. I looooved my crispy chicken sandwich. It had a little kick to it which was perfect. So did the fries. Sooo tasty! If I lived in the area, I'd definitely frequent this place for sure.

    Delicious chicken ta plate.  Absolutely one of the best dishes I've had!
    Inverleith F.

    I certainly do not come here often enough because they are adding new restaurant offerings all the time. For lunch today, Deb 7, 2025, I had the chicken ta plate from TamTam. The chicken! So many goodies on top including crunchy onions, red chilies and the variety of flavors and textures in the bowl was unbelievable! The rice is nice and sticky, the pickled daikon and carrots add a nice tartness and crispness to the bowl. The added sweet fish sauce just puts the flavors over the top. I poured some over the bowl and then dipped everything just for extra tang. My mistake for not checking the bag as my utensils were missing so pro tip is to look in the bag before running out. The crew delivered it right to me and were very friendly. I wish they had a soda fountain because I just didn't want to get on the app again to get a can beverage. They do offer water from a jug. There is more indoor seating now and new covered seating outside. I was able to park in the small lot as well. Can't wait to come back to try something new.

    Latin Ninja
    Katherine G.

    The Latin Ninja was OK. The quality of the salmon used was ok but the amount and flavors were yummy. It was about $20. My friend enjoyed her Taco bowl but thought the one at La Chamba in Moraga is better. The best thing about Local Kitchens is the variety and I'd want to try more. The best part of our experience was the worker we met-- Dave Stash! He was so awesome and enthusiastic, he really made our day.

    The Broke Chick Tam
    Alex M.

    I ordered the Broke Chick Tam from Tam Tam Rice, and it's been one of the tastiest menu items I've tried so far at Local Kitchens. There were so many flavors and textures to keep it interesting, yet everything paired so well together - no boring chicken and rice here! The chicken was very flavorful on its own, but the sweet fish sauce brought it to the next level. The pork and egg quiche was a unique touch, and I loved the pickled vegetables (I wish there were more!). The Persian cucumber and tomatoes almost had a Mediterranean flavor profile and seemed a little out-of-place, but they were refreshing. The overall rice to protein ratio was a bit high, but I liked how the rice soaked up the sauce and absorbed all the flavors. I'd definitely order the chicken rice plate again.

    Outside tables
    Steve D.

    I stopped by LK @ Lafayette, and discovered they remodeled the place. They added more seating inside in the form of bar space. They also improved the tables outside on the patio. The inside has the upgraded water and condiment station. I ordered: - The Meltburger - Fries - Tempura Shrimp Local Kitchens in Lafayette still has the best food! LK @ Lafayette was the first Local Kitchens location. It was also the place where we had a Yelp Elite Event, where I was introduced to the LK brand. Since then, I have been to every location in the SF Bay Area, plus Davis and Roseville. I always order on the LK App, and I always pickup my own food.

    This is the second Local Kitchen location that I've dined at. The purpose of the visit to this location was to support the launch of the S.O.B (Sweet Onion Burger) by a favorite chef of mine, Alvin Cailan (owner of Eggslut and Amboy in SoCal). The location was very busy but full of life with a DJ and various activities happening around the parking lot. I was given a ticket to claim one burger. The staff at the restaurant was very friendly. I received my burger right off the grill and was impressed! The simplicity of the burger made with ground beef and sweet onions pressed together, combined with a slice of cheddar cheese, sauce and soft buns tasted very delicious! I did get to meet my favorite chef and complemented his creation. I'll definitely be back for the burger and support other Local Kitchen locations. I need to try the other food vendors working with the kitchen too.

    I've never had a bad meal at Sideboard! The breakfast pudding with asparagus and the side salad…read morewith its light vinaigrette is absolutely delicious. The breakfast mac & cheese with bacon is another favorite and always hits the spot. And don't even get me started on the desserts, they're next level. I also love the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. You order at the counter, grab a table, help yourself to water, and the friendly staff brings your food right to you. It's casual, comfortable, and consistently one of my favorite places in Lafayette. Highly recommend!

    3 friends went seeking a nice lunch at a place where we could visit and catch up before hitting the…read moretraffic back to the City. All ordered salads, all different, all very nice, but hardly unique. Ordered cold lemonades too, but they were nothing but a squeeze of lemon in water- not impressed. Having not been here in years, I found it to be a different and disappointing experience. We had to flag down a person to clean the table, which was still sticky when we sat down. Not rude service but could hardly be considered friendly either. The one thing that annoyed me the most was clearing an individuals dishes while the others were still eating. Plenty of empty tables so what's the rush? Given the cost, plus tip, Sideboard was nothing special. Plenty of other solid choices in the Lamorinda area.

    I had a day off from work today and I had this place on my radar. I heard about a special promo…read morethey are running until the end of this week for free fries, so what perfect time to give it a try. I came at opening, so I didn't have to wait in line. I ordered via the Kiosk, but the fries had me scan a QR code and answer some questions. After that, I waited for about 10 ish minutes before I got my food. The ladies were very nice and helpful, and they took care into preparing my food. Garden Burger: I enjoy the impossible meat when I can and this burger was huge. Besides the patty, I also got avocado, the other standard fixings and a fried eggplant. They also had mayo and bbq sauce as my spread. I don't know how, but I was able to eat the whole thing in one setting. It was juicy (as juicy an impossible burger can be) and delicious. The sauce held everything together and the extra spicy mayo I used for dipping brought the extra heat I needed. Overall, a delicious burger. Bulgogi Fries: This was complementary due to their promo and this was a huge portion. They made the bulgogi meat fresh to order and the same with my fries. Their plating was phenomenal. Overall, the fries were crispy and the sauce and meat were delicious. Overall, I can see myself coming here again. I should try a normal burger or I can try their chicken burger next time.

    I ordered the original burger and fries. Very tasty. Prices are average. Portion size was just…read moreright for me, but if you have a big appetite, this might be too small for you and you'll need to order more. Plenty of parking next to the park. This area has homeless, but it's fine during the day. The only issue I have with this place is the interior design and lighting. It's stale and unattractive with office lighting and horrible off-white colors. If they changed the aesthetic inside and make it more like an old-school burger joint, they would get a lot more business.
