    I love Local Kitchens and I have been to several of the locations around the Bay Area which were all 5 star experiences. But sadly, they closed about half of the locations recently and so suddenly too. I am always in the Redwood City area and finally checked out this Local Kitchens. The location is quite weird because it is on the side of the Bay Club. There is hardly any parking and you'll end up parking very far. The place was clean with lots of windows too. I ordered Proposition Chicken sandwich and strawberry tea fresca from Boba Guys. The fried chicken sandwich came out pretty fast but I noticed it was smaller in size compared to the other locations. A few bites in and I knew, the chicken was much smaller, thin and pretty dry. I still enjoyed the flavor but not how dry it was. My drink was good but the boba was quite hard which is unusual because my boba at the other Local Kitchens locations were always soft. Just a few bumps but I would go back since I am always in the area and maybe they just had an off day. Will come back soon to update!

    We live closeby and came one night at like 9PM. This place is great and there's so many good choices on the menu! Inside was very clean and the workers we interacted with were super friendly (even so late at night right before closing)! Portions are big, the plates we got were well made and balanced as far as components, prices are very fair, and it's super easy to order! The sonoran berry horchata was so fresh and yummy (I'd come back for that again)! If we had Bay Club memberships we'd probably eat here all the time! But we'll definitely be back to try other menu items. Thanks for the good experience!

    From the Vietnamese restaurant:  the Rich Pork Belly Tam.  The dish was really yummy!  It was very hot, but the amount was good.

    Located inside The Bay Club in Redwood City, Local Kitchens has a decent array of restaurants and cuisines. Our group ordered a variety of foods from the kiosk. The wait time wasn't too long, and all of it was ready in one large, easy-to-carry bag. The food was decent, and everyone was satiated! Remember to grab your own utensils and napkins!

    Food was bland and inauthentic. The birria bowl was so disappointing. It made Chipotle look authentic. There was nothing blending the food together. It was so strange to see large pieces of cauliflower in the bowl as well. The black milk tea was also very basic. For the price, you'd expect pretty decent food. Maybe the other food is better but pass on the birria bowl and the milk tea. Parking was also confusing. The lot is for bay club and it was pretty full during lunch time. I had to park far from the entrance.

    I work a block away from here and have wanted you try this place for a long time. I did research so I wasn't surprised when. I got here. The place is better than the pictures. It's a very casual café type area. There's 3 ordering machines that would see in most casual restaurants now. On the day that I went there were 5 different types of cuisine to pick from. Great for people who have very picky Lunchmates. I was very happy with the selection and found the food to be excellent. The food is all made from one kitchen and there is one window to that distributed food and where you can. Talk to people. Overall great casual location that is perfect for big groups.

    Decent food options here, but what rubbed me the wrong way is that this is a ghost kitchen and the way they set up their point-of-service terminal is that it defaults to leaving a 15% tip. Keep in mind: I am inputting my own order, picking up my own order, and bussing my own tray. That said, for what reason is a 15% tip the default option? To the owner of Local Kitchens: please think through this and look at it from the standpoint of the customer and ask yourself does it make any sense at all? I have no problems with tipping when there is a service provided, but businesses like this that are not providing a service and not only ask for a tip but set it as a default option are part of the problem as to why tipping in America has gotten out of hand. The best way to respond is by not giving business to such establishments and with so many options in the food & beverage space, I'd rather go elsewhere.

    Local Kitchens @ Redwood Shores, The Bay Club
    Steve D.

    200 Redwood Shores Pkwy Redwood City, CA 94065 (at The Bay Club) Local Kitchens just opened their brand new location in Redwood City ! The new location is inside The Bay Club at Redwood Shores & Twin Dolphin. The good news is they have an entrance on the outside of the building. So you don't have to walk thru the lobby like I did! Also, there's special parking spots reserved for Local Kitchen customers near the main driveway. I was there on July 7th, 2024, and the place had just opened 5 days ago. I placed my order on Local Kitchens App, and then went inside to checkout the new restaurant and talk to staff. I ordered: - Turkey BLTA from "Flavor Trippin' " menu - Birria Beef Burrito from Nopalito Taqueria menu - Spiced Fries, from Prop Chicken menu The order status board showed a 20-min wait for my orders. The interior is spacious and clean. I was there around 5pm, and I decided to stay and eat part of my food there. There's a large empty area in the restaurant, and I was told they plan to make a lounge area for dine-in customers. There's a self-serv station in the center with fresh water, utensils, napkins, ketchup/mustard, and trash bins. So, you don't have to buy drinks with your order, there's free water. Okay, so I sat down and started eating my Spiced Fries. They were crispy and well coated with spices. My dip was Malted Mayo. The Turkey BLTA was a loaded turkey, bacon, avocado, tomato, lettuce and onion sandwich. It was a thick sandwich that needed two hands to hold. The menu options allow you to add & remove items. I ordered the Turkey BLTA as-is. The only issue with this sandwich is the crust. If you eat it right away, the crust can be hard and crunchy. If you let time pass, the crust can get hard and chewy. Otherwise, it's a tasty sandwich with a good amount of turkey. Now, I had to wait a bit for my Birria Beef Burrito. The restaurant Mgr offered to replace my fries with fresh ones since I had to wait for my food. I declined, as I already ate half of them. The Birria Beef Burrito was worth the wait. It weighed over 25-oz, and was about 8" long. It was delicious, with a nice balance of stewed beef, salsa, and rice/beans. No extra salsa, it was good as-is. Overall, a great first time here in Local Kitchens @ Redwood City. BTW, I have bragging rights! I have been to every Local Kitchens location in the SF Bay Area, plus Davis and Roseville. This is a self-service, cash free, micro food hall. You can eat here, takeout, or get delivery. Tip: Save $$$ by using the Local Kitchens App or website, and pickup your own food. The App will tell when your order is ready. Service, Grade 5/5 Food, Grade 5/5 Cleanliness, Grade 5/5 (Dining room and Restroom) ------------------------------------ Notes: - all foods on current menu prepared onsite - each Local Kitchens location can have a slightly different menu - all orders are served in takeout packaging - staff are always there to assist ( I was introduced to this brand at a Yelp Elite Event at LK @ Lafayette).

    Hong Kong Milk Tea and Prop Chicken tenders
    Lotus T.

    I was not expecting much because I thought there's no way one restaurant could have so many different menus and variety in good execution. Was very pleasantly surprised. The website is great to browse and check out the variety of food they have. My order was done in 20 minutes and I came to pick it up. Hong Kong Milk Tea from Boba Guys: The ice was good, flavor actually tasted like real tea, and boba had good flavor too. Pretty good. Pork Belly Tam Rice: I checked this place out as I saw the chef's videos on TikTok and saw her recipes were available in Redwood Shores, so I wanted to check it out. Surprised me a lot it was delicious. The pork belly was crispy and tender, very flavorful, all the pickled veggies were good, the egg quiche was good too. Overall really great and doesn't taste like gentrified bs imo. Chicken Tenders from Proposition Chicken: I wanted to get a side and wasn't expecting much but the tenders were seasoned really well and it was tasty by itself. With the buffalo ranch sauce it was good too. Very pleasantly surprised everything was delicious. I think the price was reasonable it was 30 something without tax and tip and 42 after tax and tip. The ambiance of the place was lively and there were a lot of people on a Wednesday afternoon.

I usually order Pozole, but that dish is only during the winter time. So I ordered a cup of tortilla soup! The chicken was fresh and delicious, and the broth was so good I drank it all. The salsa trio is always my favorite appetizer because of the spicy mango salsa! I finish it every time. I also got the Plátanos cubanos, but I got the toppings on the side so I could enjoy their plantains by themselves. As an appetizer, snack, meal, or dessert, plantains are the best. I ordered a side of rice with my steak tacos too, and I have to say this rice is the most similar to the type my mom makes at home. Not too tomatoey, but perfectly moist and tasty. I opted out of getting a cocktail today, so I got a mocktail. I was craving agua de jamaica, which they didn't directly have, but this "zero proof" cocktail hit the spot ;) As for the steak tacos, the steak was a little too chewy for my liking, but that's because I usually get my steak well done (I know, don't judge).

Also the vibe of this place is just happy It's colorful, fun, loud in a good way, and makes you want to dance when you walk in.

    Dine in | Dinner La Corneta, San Carlos…read more From the moment we walked into La Corneta in San Carlos, we were met with warmth, efficiency, and exceptional service. The experience was quick, smooth, and welcoming from start to finish. This was my first meal of the day, and I was hoping for something satisfying -- but I had no idea just how impressed I would be. Our food and beverages were ordered and served promptly. Even when a small mistake occurred, it was corrected immediately, graciously, and with a genuine smile, which speaks volumes about the care and professionalism of this team. Customer Service: 5 stars -- truly beyond expectations Cleanliness: 5 stars -- spotless and well cared for Quantity: 5 stars -- more than generous Quality: 5 stars -- honestly better than many 5-star restaurants my husband and I have tried Price: Very reasonable, especially considering the quantity and outstanding quality A special and heartfelt thank you to David, who I believe is the manager. He was attentive, observant, friendly, and incredibly hands-on -- moving seamlessly from station to station, supporting his team, and leading by example. David is the kind of leader who inspires, not commands. It would genuinely have been an honor to work under his supervision. He goes above and beyond, and it shows brightly in every detail. The fajitas were cooked perfectly, the drinks were delicious, and my husband absolutely loved his mole burrito. What stood out most was how this place made me feel. I didn't feel like just another customer -- I felt at home, and after the day I had, that meant more than words can express. We are already looking forward to our next visit. In a time when many establishments are losing their personal touch, La Corneta is creating real connections -- and that makes all the difference. 13 stars -- for our favorite number as a couple. With sincere gratitude, Thank you, David, and thank you to the entire La Corneta team. La Corneta, San Carlos Desde el momento en que entramos a La Corneta en San Carlos, nos recibieron con calidez, eficiencia y un servicio excepcional. Todo fue rápido, fluido y acogedor de principio a fin. Esta fue mi primera comida del día, y buscaba algo que realmente valiera la pena -- pero nunca imaginé quedar tan satisfecha. Ordenamos nuestros alimentos y bebidas, y todo fue servido con rapidez. Incluso cuando ocurrió un pequeño error, fue corregido de inmediato, con amabilidad y una sonrisa sincera, lo cual dice mucho del profesionalismo y el corazón de este equipo. Servicio al cliente: 5 estrellas -- superó completamente nuestras expectativas Limpieza: 5 estrellas -- impecable Cantidad: 5 estrellas -- más que suficiente Calidad: 5 estrellas -- honestamente mejor que muchos restaurantes de 5 estrellas que mi esposo y yo hemos probado Precio: Muy razonable considerando la cantidad y la excelente calidad Un agradecimiento muy especial y sincero para David, quien creo es el gerente. Fue atento, observador, amable y muy activo -- apoyando a su equipo y pasando de una estación a otra con liderazgo y presencia. David es un verdadero líder, no un jefe. Inspira con el ejemplo, y eso se refleja claramente en la experiencia. Sinceramente, habría sido un honor trabajar bajo su supervisión. Las fajitas estaban perfectamente cocinadas, las bebidas deliciosas, y mi esposo quedó encantado con su burrito de mole. Lo que más nos marcó fue cómo nos hizo sentir este lugar. No me sentí como una clienta más -- me sentí como en casa, y después del día que tuve, eso fue invaluable. Ya estamos deseando regresar. En un momento donde muchos lugares están perdiendo el trato humano, La Corneta está creando conexiones reales, y eso se nota. 13 estrellas -- nuestro número favorito como pareja. Con profundo agradecimiento, Gracias, David, y gracias a todo el equipo de La Corneta.

Every time I'm craving birria (which is often), this is where I go. The quality stays consistent every single visit, which is huge. You know exactly what you're getting and it never disappoints. For the price and taste, the value is excellent. You're getting authentic, flavorful birria without paying sit-down restaurant prices.

While photos of their SF location suggest some seeing, this OG location is pretty much pickup/delivery only: a fairly literal hole in the wall, located along a random quiet street. Most folks would probably opt to take home or eat at one of the "nearby" parks, but we've gotten in the habit of just eating in the car, which... not so great for something as messy as birria lol. I'll say that for most folks, this would probably easily be more a 4 star spot, while for us, it's more a 2 star since we're unlikely to come back. That's not to say the food was bad: on the contrary, the flavors were quite good, and the consomme was less salty than some of the others we've tried. But their food is HEAVY. Not just the birria itself, but also the burrito we got, and heavier than other places we've been for some reason, with the birria sitting in a pool of oil soon after we picked it up. This probably isn't a deterrent for most people though, so take this as you will. Accessibility: Not too relevant since this is really just a pickup spot, with the pickup window being at the usual height you'd find elsewhere.

The fish and shrimp in the ceviche were super fresh and had a perfect level of tanginess and spiciness. The mango and avocado were great additions. The pulpo salteados was filling and comforting, with the octopus and calamari being tender, and the potatoes being boiled down to be soft. The garlic butter sauce was delicious! The asado mixto, in my opinion, is the best dish to get, since there's a bit of everything on the menu, from beef to pork to chicken to shrimp. Everything was cooked to be tender, and it was a delicious bite to wrap everything in the corn tortillas. The molcajete salsa had a perfect kick of spice. I always enjoy a dish with veggies as well, and the zucchini and peppers were great with the molcajete. While on the pricier end for Mexican food, everything was tasty and service is friendly and fast. I was stuffed this time, but definitely want to come try the churros next time!
