Tam Tam Rice was excellent! Great blending of flavors. The variety of different foods was artful.

Local Kitchens is so convenient, and I love the ability to mix and match foods from various places within this ghost kitchen in one order. Their website is super easy to use and order from, and the pick up times have been rather consistent as well. I get very excited when new places pop up too. The fam and I have been ordering the following the most often - Burritos from Senor Sisig - So good and wrapped/labeled properly. Downside is that the spiciest levels aren't usually spicy. Once a while there would be more jalapeno bits in there, but most of the time the spicy or extra spicy aren't spicy. I forget if the actual Senor Sisig comes with hot sauce or salsa, but it'll be nice if this came with a side of salsa. Various Chicken Dishes from Proposition Chicken - the kids really enjoy the chicken tenders! Their fried chicken entree is pretty good too. Ice Cream - Tried it once, and the pint of ice cream I got was really good. Pricey for a pint, but the brand is pricey itself. Burger from The Melt - comes with a side of pickle. Pretty solid burger, one of the "cheaper" items there. Curry Up Now - Tasty stuff too! There's been some new things recently, and a pop up, and I can't wait to go back and try some of that. So glad they're in Lafayette! read more

This is for Tam Tam Rice. It was OK. If I'm going to be paying $15 for a bowl of rice with spicy pork belly it should actually have LOTS of meat in it. Not 5 small pieces (I counted). Definitely won't eat there again. read more

I love local kitchens!!! The service is absolutely amazing. The kindest, nicest, sweetest people. The gentleman working the counter was so pleasant. Thank you so so much for everything. Customer service this good is so rare. This is a hidden gem that I wanna gatekeep but I can't. The food is phenomenal as well. I love this place read more

I love the greeting I received from Stache!!! This guy is made of sugar--true hospitality. Of course I return here because my family loves the food. It's walking distance from the house, quality and cleanliness is top tier, but come on--STACHE--yes, yes, yes!!! read more

Fav local food stop, for a variety of reasons. For one, it's the only place open past 9pm in Lafayette/Walnut Creek with good nutritious food. Value to quality is the highest out there, and the variety is top. Nopalito's, Proposition Chicken, and The Melt are our fav of the mini-eateries, with Yalla Falafel being a strong new addition. Service is super fast, reliable, and professional. Plus the staff are responsive and excellent! And the management clearly values the input of their customers. I've had them reach out directly and thank me when leaving a minor critique of one of the menu items - can't say that about any other establishment. Keep up the good work team!! Oh, and the outdoor table is a great spot to sit down and eat if you're not getting takeout here. read more

Foods good, service is excellent, the man at the front is always so kind to anyone walking in.

Ordered from here twice a few weeks back while I was visiting Lafayette. Each time the food was fresh and delicious, my orders were ready on time and the staff was super friendly. Square Pie Guys | Mean Green Machine - white sauce, italian sausage, roasted broccoli, chile flake, mike's hot honey. I love Detroit style pizza and SPG nails it. This was phenomenal, every bite was the perfect mix of crunchiness, chewiness and cheesy goodness! Sushirrito | Latin Ninja - salmon poke, plantain chips, lettuce, bubu, wasabi aioli and citrus ponzu with avocado spread, sushi rice, and Sushirrito nori. Superb, as always. My other favorite sushi burritos are the Geisha's Kiss, Sumo Crunch and Satori. I sure hope Sacramento gets its own Local Kitchens soon. read more

Love this concept! So many food choices and all great restaurants under one roof! Easy to order on line or at the kiosk inside. Friendly staff! Very attentive. I like that they have a screen that tells you when you're order is ready, finishing or how many minutes before it's ready. I ordered from home and selected a time for pick up. When I got there, my order was going to be done in 1 minute. As I waited patiently, one person checked on me. And another person checked on me a few moments after. When my order was ready, it was handed to me with a smile. Great customer service! We ordered 4 burritos from Señor Sisig. They were all delicious! Will be back again!! read more

Happy I found this place. I had driven by before but wasn't sure what it was. It's like a ghost kitchen for different restaurants but you can actually order and pick up from the location. There are 4-5 different restaurants to try from which is the appeal for places like this. One stop shop for your hangry self. The first time we went there we got Square Pie Guys (the big von) and it was good. Also got a side of hummus from Oren's hummus, which we liked. We've been to their palo alto location a few times. Nice we didn't have to drive to Oakland or Palo Alto to get these items. The presentation and taste of Square Pie Guys was what you would expect if you went to their store in Oakland. Good to see that. Consistency is the key to a good establishment. The second time we went I got a bacon cheeseburger from The Melt and some fries, and the wife got Square Pie Guys again. I thought the burger was tasty and had plenty of bacon and the fries were well seasoned. The wife enjoyed her pizza, although I'm not a fan of the mushroom pizza. I thought it was not as flavorful as the big von but that's just me. I'm a meat lover pizza kind of guy. They don't have indoor seating but have several outdoor picnic tables. Also no restroom. You can order online and when you walk in there is a large TV screen that shows when your order will be ready. As you can imagine, lots of pick up from Doordash/Uber eats We love being able to try different things from different restaurants. A good alternative if we're ever craving something from one of these restaurants. read more

The perfect spot to choose when you have to feed more than one person and neither can decide what they want. We were greeted warmly with attentive and helpful staff. Mom totally devoured her Quesabirria tacos and I really enjoyed my Ninja Burrito. We sat outside to eat and saw many people pick up their orders quickly so this place is running efficiently, not to mention that we noticed many were happy return customers. Definitely want to come back and try some other items. read more

WOW, another ghost kitchen type of design concept! I have been totally loving these since quarantine and you get all your favorites all in one location! how cool is that? Not to mention I haven't tried some of these spots so it was super nice to try humphrys ice cream and proposition chicken! I've had senior sisig plenty of times so also ordered something from those three vendors. WOW the chicken sandwich at proposition is super tasty and filling! Not to mention the chips they make are fresh and have a nice garnishing flavor to them! Lets get into the ice cream now.... WOW this matchadoole flavor just takes my taste buds on a ride! super flavorful and the snickerdoodle cookie is still soft and moisty and super creamy and great along the matcha ice cream! can't wait to try the viet coffee next! read more

I am LOVING this new addition to Lafayette! Local Kitchens is a "ghost kitchen" offering up a variety of different eateries all under one roof. All orders are taken electronically either online or at their digital ordering kiosk in their shop. I'm totally digging this concept and I'm a big fan of the variety and convenience. I've been here twice so far and have gotten food from Glaze Teriyaki, Curry Up Now, and ice cream from Humpry Slocombe. First off, can we get a round of applause for that variety though?! Local Kitchens currently offers food from Glaze Teriyaki, Mixt, Proposition Chicken, Wise Sons Italian Deli, Curry Up Now, Senor Sisig, Humphry Slocombe, Peerless Coffee, and they just added Oren's Hummus! Like, whaaaat? So many different amazing options to choose from. I'm on a mission to try them all, and I have feeling that it'll happen a lot sooner than later. The concept is strictly to-go, but they do have a few tables out front where you can enjoy your meal if you feel like eating it there. Their website is user friendly and I found it very easy to order my food. I've also used their kiosk inside to order, and this too was fast and simple. Love that they have hand sanitizers at all of the stations making this a very COVID friendly affair. They also have two long benches where you can sit inside while you're waiting for your food. They have a small parking lot on the side of the building, but there's also a pretty good amount of street parking too. I've ordered the hanger steak teriyaki from Glaze and the ghee makhni butter bowl from Curry Up Now, and both dishes were absolutely delicious! Portions are ample and everything comes nicely packaged and beautifully presented. I love Humphry Slocombe and I'm so excited that I'm able to load up on their yummy pints of ice cream. If you're ordering ice cream, they will place it in an insulated bag so that it'll keep it from melting. They have a large screen that'll display your name and order progress so that you can keep track of what your order is ready. Also, have you seen their hours?! They're open late which is something that you don't normally find in this part of town. Service is excellent! There's always someone there near the entrance who greets you and offers up assistance if it's needed. I'm SO impressed with Local Kitchens! It's truly an honor to have something like this in the neighborhood now. They will definitely be seeing a lot more orders from me! I'm already trying to figure out which eatery to try out next (it'll most likely be Oren's since I've been dying to try them for the longest). Hooray for Local Kitchens blessing us with their goodness! read more

Food: 8/10 Service: 10/10 Value: 7/10 Wait time: less than 5 minutes after ordering online Portion size: medium This is a super cool place! It is one store front but offers 8 different menus! It varies from coffee and bagels to Indian, Mexican and salads! There is no indoor dining but there are 3 tables outside. Great when you come with a group and people want different foods! The workers are very welcoming and nice. They are also were very informative of each business! Came here with my dad and we ordered the Flipped Chicken sandwich from Porposition Chicken, Hanger Steak Teriyaki from Glaze and the Beetnik Salad from Mixt. The Flipped Chicken Sandwich was delicious! It was a spicy rotisserie chicken sandwich on a soft roll. The chicken was tender and juicy. Good spice level, I would say mild. I liked it. It could use a little more meat and veggies inside. I felt like there was a lot of bread. The Beetnik salas was also good. Felt healthy and fresh! I liked it a lot and it was pretty big. Good balance between nuts, greens, beets and cheese. The Hanger steak teriyaki was good too. I brought it home for the hubby and took a bite. It was tender and had good flavor even when re-heated! I also got the Matchadoodle ice cream from Humphrey Slocombe! They gave it to me in a cool cooler bag to keep it cold! I live 30 minutes away and its did the job! I like it because it had good matcha flavor and wasn't too sweet and it had soft bits of snickerdoodle cookie in it! read more

I had used Local Kitchens more than a few tines, and it's always quick, and reliable. It is either pick up at the Lafayette hub, or being delivered to my work. It has Proposition Chicken, Senior Sigsig, and recently added Homeroom and Milkbar desserts. The people who work there are friendly and helpful. I always pick up Mango lassie or Hortchata Ube from their mini fridge if I happen to stop by. Ultimately, I will probably use this place for delivery because they have Homeroom Jalapeno Mac and Melt burgers and with the Crack Pie from Milk bar for dessert. They also are pretty accurate with drop off and delivery Etas. read more

Pretty tiny, almost drove past it. I was looking for Sushirrito which is within this place. In fact this place is able to make several foods from other popular places. The parking lot it limited and one way. There is outdoor dining, but no indoor dining. You can either use an app to place orders ahead of time or use their touch screen to select your food and tap for credit or wireless pay. Overall, it's pretty easy and pretty good. I'll have to go back and try something else. It's located across the street from McDonalds. read more

Local Kitchens took over the Cheesesteak Shop's space. hosts 7 eateries from s.f & oakland. it's operated better than Jingletown Eats (Oakland Food Hall). one can pre-order from Local Kitchens website or from any of the eateries' website. u can then pick up or have it delivered via ur fave delivery vehicle. a manager greets everyone entering to render any assistance if necessary. one can order in person via a tablet. it's easy to navigate. there's also some parking space in the lot. SCORE! eateries: -proposition chicken -curry up now -mixt -glaze -senor sisig -wise sons deli -humprey slocombe got a card upon entering with the eateries featured and a promo: "$10 off your first meal! Sign up: order.localkitchens.co" i ordered from Wise sons Deli. had a slight issue. a rep. contacted me within 24 hours and resolved the issue promptly. fab customer service! read more

It was really easy ordering online through the website and customizing our orders was really easy. I think a lot of people ordered prior to going there but there were picnic tables our front and plenty of parking on the street and in the parking lot after work time around 530/600pm. I ended up ordering a Senor sisig burrito, chicken, with adobo rice, beans, and cilantro spice, spicy and a paneer burrito. The paneer burrito is much better eaten as a burrito than trying use a fork and eating it like a bowl. Then it said it would take about 20 minutes for the order to be ready and it was a lot faster than what was projected. Lots of people easily came in and picked up. They had a TV screen that had the names of the orders ready and I was greeted by friendly workers with a smile. I enjoyed the variety of food available at this restaurant. There are multiple kitchens here-- Senor sisig, curry up now, Humphrey slocombe, a coffee place, curry up now, etc. I like how there's such a variety of things to order here and will come back for me. read more

I really enjoyed the fried chicken at Proposition Chicken from this cloud kitchen. I was pleasantly surprised at the crunch and spot on flavors. I wouldn't say the chicken is breaded, it's almost more like a tempura and is crunchy all the way through to the meat, not chewy at all. The platter comes with 3 pieces of chicken (2 dark meat - leg and thigh-and 1 white meat - small breast), a side cucumber salad, and a sweet biscuit. I found the chicken to be slightly dry but I really didn't notice or care because the crust was so good. I also tried the rotisserie chicken from Proposition Chicken but I'd go for the fried over the rotisserie any day. I found the rotisserie to be less flavorful and a little more dry. The cucumber salad is good- fresh and refreshing. It's nice and light with a vinegary dressing and plenty of flavor. The sweet biscuit was too sweet for me, it was like cake, I prefer cornbread or a savory biscuit. The online ordering was easy and they offer $10 off for new users. Good deal!! My only complaint about the online ordering is the lack of ability to make modifications. I'd love to see an option for breast meat only on the chicken (at an up-charge of course) and the ability to share dietary restrictions. I was also unable to locate ANY nutritional information which was a bummer for me. I also would have asked to skip the biscuit since I knew I wouldn't eat it, rather than waste it. The staff is super friendly and helpful. There are a couple tables outside, none inside, and a screen in the front legs you know your order is ready. Awesome!! read more

Tried the chicken sandwich one night then burgers another and both were good. Ordered online and ready for pick up as promised

The quick summary: great place, easy to get to, good food, worth giving it a try. I am glad I decided to try it out. The details: My husband and I have been checking out food trucks for years. We've tried all types, but have often found getting to events that host multiple trucks is sometimes hard. This is what I thought was cool about local kitchens. Two food trucks we hadn't tried as well as several other offerings we hadn't heard of before, all under one roof. A one stop shop for all preferences. My husband is a meat eater, I am a vegan, and my kids are, well, they are picky. Local kitchens had something for each of us. They also have gluten free options on some menus. Order was super easy. I used the website and pre-ordered which was great. I placed my order right after breakfast and selected my pickup time for just before noon. The menus are all clear and once you select an item, many have options to customize (i.e. extra cheese, no guacamole, spice vs mild, etc). This was PERFECT since I was also ordering for my two preteens whose taste buds often don't appreciate fantastic food. If you don't want to pre-order, there are iPads in the entry where you can place an order. Prices seem very fair, especially for the amount of food we ended up with (and new customers get $10 off). The location was easy to find with a little parking lot and street parking (meters on the street). East to get in and out. There are a few picnic tables outside, but I would say more of a grab and go place (would be perfect for picking up lunch on the way to a hike). Inside was clean and very nicely decorated. There are little numbered cubes that I suspect orders can be placed in, but mine was next to the counter when I came. There is a digital screen on the wall with your name and says if your order is "ready," "finishing" (mine), or the number of minutes left for your order. So easy to know if you should stick around or run an errand or whatever you may want to do while you wait. My order was ready less than 5 minutes after I arrived (I arrived at the very beginning of my pickup window). We ordered form Curry Up Now (hella Vegan Burrito, samosas, and Vada Pav), Proposition Chicken (fried chicken sandwich), and Senor Sisig (Cali burrito). Everything was really good. The hella Vegan Burrito was huge. I felt like it needed some creaminess, so I added some plant based yogurt and home and it was perfect. The samosas are a little spicey if you are sensitive to spice. My husband loved his fried chicken sandwich. Crispy with just a little spiciness. He said it was perfect. Both my kids thought the Cali burrito was the best. My oldest was sad that it was his brother's burrito and not his (he doesn't like sour cream so he didn't order one, but wished he had after tasting). Overall, we were all very happy. We will be back, probably on the way home from hiking because it is a little bit of a drive for us. Was still worth it today and glad we tried something new! read more

Concept: -single kitchen with multiple popular food venues -order in store or order ahead on Yelp, Grubhub ( note: it can charge up to $2 more per order compare to in store ordering ) -Pick up or delivery. Food: most popular dishes from trendy eateries with cult like followers. Location: Conveniently located along Mt Diablo Blvd, Lafayette. Parking: right next to the building. Easy parking on the side street as well as on Mt Diablo Blvd. They have great selection, yet it is so easy to order. You are not going to get lost in a long extensive menu. Limited but the best of each venue dishes are included. If you don't like fried chicken and want something healthy, you can just select MIXT menu. But if you change your mind on the spot, want something more adventurous, you can choose from Filipino or Indian menu. The first time I placed ordered. I did it through Yelp. It is worth mentioning that on Yelp you can't order it from " Local Kitchens". You will need to know each restaurant's name to order. I ordered something from Señor Sisig, then I had to search for Proposition Chicken and ordered separately. Fortunately Yelp has my credit card on record. So it was effortless for the second order. I was quite excited to go there to pick up my orders. The staff behind the plexiglass with a friendly smile waved at me and gestured me about mask "Oops, I forgot my mask". I went to my car, put on my mask, and went back in. The staff thanked me for wearing it and handed me my orders from a keep warm food storage cabinet (?). I had Proposition fried chicken sandwiches, the Señor Sisig burrito with fries, and different sauces. All were super delicious. When I got an email from another of my favorite restaurant "Curry Up Now", letting me know that it is available at this location as well. I couldn't wait and ordered it on my way home. But when I arrived there, I found out my order was canceled. As it turned out one of the main ingredient run out. The nice staff apologized. Obviously it is not his fault. Though I was craving for Curry Up, I was not worried that I will be left hungry. I ordered my lunch from Señor Sisig without even moving my foot. When I went in to pick up my order, the gentleman who helped me before with the menu, walked up to me and told me that the delivery truck has just arrived. If I don't mind waiting for few more minutes, they will make my order of butter chicken masala burrito for free. This was such a nice gesture! They care about their customers. This is a good sign of a well managed business. I ended up having a Tosilog burrito, from the Señor sisig-an immensely popular food truck and my favorite butter chicken masala burrito from " Curry Up Now!". I got them all from Local Kitchens in Lafayette. The kitchen is very clean and well organized. The staff are professional and very friendly. You are always greeted with a smile. I have already ordered from there 4 times. Its simple and convenient format allows customers to order from 7 venues effortlessly. It is an easy stress free grab and go place for between or after work as well as a food lovers' heaven. This place makes everyone happy. read more

What a great spot to try different foods from different businesses! I really wanted to try out Senor Sisig and Proposition Chicken, but unfortunately with me currently being on keto.. I opted for the Flipped Chicken Salad ($11.95), which actually ended up being pretty good! I'm not a huge fan of kale or mint, but it added a different texture and element to the salad. Another thing that impressed me was the friendliness of the staff! They were super nice and even gave me some ice cream sandwiches to try. In addition, I wanted to walk around the neighborhood a bit, and they allowed me to hold my ice cream in their freezer for a little while too. Super accommodating, so I really appreciated that. If you have a dog, they're dog friendly :3 they have 3 tables outside if you decide to eat there. Also, parking is pretty limited - maybe with like 6 parking spaces, but it wasn't very crowded when I went luckily. Their parking spaces are pretty compact though, which was challenging. read more

The concept of this place is really cool. They offer a lot of different restaurants, including Senior Sisig, Curry Up Now, Mixt, Humphrey Slocombes, and Wise Sons. I came here for Senior Sisig and I was really happy they opened one at this pop up because I always have to go to Daly City or SF to get senior sisig. You basically order on an iPad or can order ahead online and pick up your food easily. Pay by card only. Pretty neat place and would come back here again. read more

When walking in to local kitchens I was pleased with how simple and easy it was to us the ordering menu. The staff was very nice and friendly.

Definitely recommend coming here!! read more

Came here on a Saturday evening and was immediately greeted by one of their employees who oriented me to their kiosk. We ordered the Ube horchata, pork sisig burrito and tocino loaded fries. I feel like when I had the sisig from the original food truck, it tasted more flavorful. Also, I don't remember if their burritos always came with lettuce but next time I'll probably do without it. I got the loaded fries with the tocino as protein. I'll probably pass on the tocino, it was a little too sweet for me. Don't get me wrong, I love Filipino breakfast with tocino but the flavor with the fries didn't jive. I did appreciate how seasoned the fries were and sauces were in individual containers to prevent the fries from getting soggy. The ube horchata was really good. Next time, we'll probably check out their other vendors like curry up now, Humphry Slocombe and mixt. Although the ice cream is only sold as a pint and not scoops. I did appreciate that street parking and lot parking was available. Their bathroom was open to customers and there were waiting benches and tables outside read more

Think of this place like it's a food court, but order all in one spot. It was easy, convenient and delicious that I will definitely be back. I ordered 2 burritos from Senor Sisig with the expectation of it taking 20 minutes. I decided to go early to take some pics and watch my status on the order screen. But As I walked in the guy asked for my name and said my order was ready! I liked the convenience of the screen to see how the status of the order, who ordered and how they even ordered through a food app with the different cubbies as well. Food warmers are what got me because I appreciate that my food will stay warm as it waits for pick up. It was tightly wrapped and had a decent amount of pork Sisig with the right ratio of fries, cheese and guacamole. The location is small with a handful of outdoor seating with only six (I think) parking spaces. I went in the middle of the week around lunch time and got parking in the lot. Friendly staff, good food and convenient. Need I say more? Happy Eating! read more

In Local Kitchens, you can find several different local restaurants all in one. The concept is to mix and match your favorite places in one order instead of going out to several. I tried out Oren's Hummus here which I thought was very good. Placed the order on the website and picked up at the restaurant. My favorite items would be the pita sandwiches. I really enjoy a good sandwich loaded with hummus, pickles, cucumbers, tahini, and pickles. There is a burst of flavor with the combination of ingredients used. read more

Such a wide variety of cuisines. Prefect for Friday lunch treat! The food was so delicious. The Samosas were perfectly crunchy and the right amount of spicy. The Fried Chicken sandwich was so yummy, bread was so fresh and chicken so crunchy and moist at the same time. The Sushirrito satisfied all our cravings. The customer service was amazing. Super friendly and helpful! Quick service. read more

Ghost kitchens have been popping up everywhere. This spot in Lafayette has offerings from all the trendy restaurants in the Bay all in one location. Honestly, I haven't had the best experience which ghost kitchens quality wise so I was a bit skeptical, however after afternoon/evening hike, this was one of the closest places still open that my friend recommended so we headed on over. First you order from the kiosk(which the introvert in me loves) or from your phone then your name and number will pop up on the big screen with an estimate wait time. Since I was exhausted from the hike, I went with a double cheeseburger from The Melt. I inhaled it. So good. You might think it's just a burger but it was so juicy and their sauce rivals other popular burger joints. My faith in ghost kitchens has been restored. read more

Self order, no where to sit and eat inside, but picnic tables outside, little parking. I think they can do something about hiding all the boxes or kitchen a bit, kind of a exposed storage. Food was fairly quick after order. Prices are very elevated for what you actually get. The falafel balls are tiny. If you get soup with noodles, the amount of noodles you get are next to nothing, you'd get more noodles from cup o noodles, than what you get here. Despite the very tiny food or small amount you get at a high price, the flavor is good. read more

Great food, cool concept, fast service. Good options. I had a problem with an order once lacking sauce from the Lumpia Company and they helped me with a coupon voucher to my account! Unfortunately Lumpia Company is no longer served here though :( read more

Found this place on accident and it happened to be the coolest concept I've never seen before! If you're like me and crave different varieties of food, this place is for you. I was trying to find The Melt and was so confused if I got the wrong address. It turns out, Local Kitchens offers a big variety of different restaurants under the same kitchen. They offer Curry Up Now, Señor Sisig, The Melt, and more! Ordering from the kiosk was super easy and efficient. I was able to order different items from two different restaurants. I got the Sisig Fries from Señor Sisig to share with my brother, and a Grilled Cheese + Tomato Soup from The Melt. I was in heaven. The food was sooo good! I was so amazed how I was able to order them all at once. One of the workers I was talking to, I believe her name was Angela, was super sweet. I'm very glad I stopped by yesterday. I'm hoping they open more locations in the San Mateo County because this is seriously one of the coolest places I've eaten at in the Bay Area. read more

Local Kitchens - Grilled cheese (added avocado and grilled onions) dipped in tomato soup - Burgers Near Me - Lafayette, California

What a great concept! Everyone chooses exactly what they want all in one place, great variety. When we entered we were immediately greeted by a person with a welcoming smile and instructed to place an order through the kiosk. I ordered the Proposition fried chicken which was one of the best fried chickens I've had. It has a unique and super crunchy skin and perfectly cooked and tender inside. It came with a sauce which has a slight kick, I ordered a side of the ranch sauce and loved it. Also came with a yummy cucumber and tomato salad and buttermilk biscuit. Hubby had the Melt burger as well as the Patty Melt, both were delish. Son had chicken kabob and it was also delicious. The falafels were good but quite tiny at best. Loved how quick the food was prepared and the text notification process. We will be back to try the other menu items read more

This food hall concept is genius! I loved ordering the food online, and getting an alert when the food was ready for pick up. As a busy mom with two elementary aged kids, being able to order different types of meals for each kid (and an adult meal for myself) was perfect. While dining outside on the nicely kept picnic tables, the owner (or employee) came out several times to check on us. The first time, he came out to give my daughter a coloring sheet and crayons because he could see she was getting up frequently, and asked if my son wanted one, too. The second time was to let us know where the bathroom was. The third time, he let us know we could come back in to wash our hands (as we had ordered the pizza). All the food was perfectly prepared, and high quality. We plan on coming here whenever we're in Lafayette! My kids enthusiastically give Local Kitchens 5 stars- as do I! read more

What is Local Kitchens? Local Kitchens is a satellite kitchen that serves food from multiple brands/restaurants all from under one roof. It is a really cool concept and gives customers in these areas a chance to try foods that are otherwise far away. Local Kitchens has six locations in the Bay Area (five are in the South Bay and this is the only location in the East Bay). You can go on their website to see which companies they serve (most of them are SF-based). Some of my favorites are: - Senor Sisig -- famous Filipino-Mexican fusion SF food truck - Rooster & Rice -- Hainanese chicken and rice - Oren's Hummus -- Mediterranean Israeli restaurant - Humphry Slocomb -- widely popular SF-based ice cream company I've tried many of these restaurants at their official locations and at Local Kitchens. The quality, of course, is not going to be 100% identical but it is close. I would assume some food is pre-packaged/pre-prepared so of course some quality is going to be lost. I remember getting a Senor Sisig burrito the first time I came and it was a bit dry and sloppy. Level expectations. You can order online or in-person. Not really any seating (there are a couple picnic benches outside) and the parking lot is tiny (make sure you take the right turn into this location - it comes up on you fast). Best of all this location is open late! read more

It has been wonderful to have Local Kitchens in Lafayette as it brings signature items from multiple restaurants in San Francisco and other parts of the Bay Area into our community. With the intermittent rotation of selected restaurants on top of mainstays (eg, Senor Sisig, Proposition Chicken, Wise Sons, Curry Up Now), there is generally an excellent range of options, although they sometimes run out of certain products in a day due to their popularity. The online ordering system works smoothly and the folks handling the food pickup are usually quite friendly. It would be great if they added another Asian and maybe Italian or other cuisine options in the future, but that is just a preference and not a criticism.
