    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.

    Inside

    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

    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.

    We're glad you liked Senor Sisig, we did too! Occasionally we'll decide to rotate in a new restaurant brand in order to keep things exciting for our guests and give them a cuisine we haven't served yet.

    Are you selling latkes this year ? Nov 30 2021?

    Hi Nancy, Yes! One of our partners, Wise Sons, has latkes on the menu! :)

I let them know that I did, but nobody ever answers. This leaves me credibly frustrated, and for that reason, I give them a 3. I do enjoy the Italian sub, the Reuben and the classic peppered, Turkey sandwich. They are also very fairly priced. As a whole experience, I give them a 3. I'm hoping when they move to Pleasant Hill. It'll be a little bit better.

I don't often frequent anywhere except for my house, so that speaks to how much I love this place. Highly recommend any iced matcha (especially seasonal options) or coffee and the Fancy Bagel.

But what I love most is that they are innovators--they do not sit around and let the menu get dusty, they are always doing something new. New drinks, new cold foams, adding an ice cream machine. And not in a way that feels like whiplash, but just like menu drops that make sense. This is how you run a place that is good to locals and people visiting for the first time... You keep it interesting and that's what they do. So many local spots fall into the same old thing with zero changes and I genuinely LOVE that The Market isn't doing that!! 10/10. Also, the staff are just lovely x1000. Grace, Josh, Carla, McKenna, Izzy, (sorry if I spelled someone's name wrong!) and everyone else are true gems. They are consistently kind, upbeat, and engaging, and they are consistently good at producing drinks/food that don't change based on the day of the week and the weather.
