I stop by sometimes to pick up food to go. Their website is pretty easy to use and you can also sign up for their loyalty program so you can get a $10 reward after you spend X dollars (I think it's $100 or $150). Their selection is decent but more catered towards burgers, pizza, fries etc. I wish they had more Asian offerings which would be great! This place is not the cheapest but food is expensive these days. Expect $15/person for food or so. I do like Proposition Chicken and the Square Pizza Guys. The chicken is always fried nicely but it is not too greasy. The pizza is large and you can easily share a pie with another person. It is however not really traditional pizza (it's Detroit style and very thick). I always use a fork and knife to eat. The pizzas pair well with ranch dressing! They have Boba Guys here but unfortunately no decaf offerings! read more

I've learned about Local Kitchens because of a Yelp Event in 2022 for the Palo Alto location. During the said event I got to try Proposition Chicken and The Melt and so when I saw the list of shops they have in San Bruno, I had my eyes fixed on the other ones I haven't been to before. Square Pie Guys is first on the list. We tried the Mush-o-roni and The Big Von and got our Detroit style pizza cravings satisfied. Overall, Local Kitchens is a great addition to this part of San Bruno. Lots of parking space, fast service, and many food choices. I will be coming back to try Sushirrito and Nopalito next. read more

Great place! Went here with my mom today for lunch. The people who work here are super friendly and courteous! A real pleasure speaking with them. The ambiance is inviting and very comfortable. I could have stayed there another hour and taken a nap on their couch. The food is DELICIOUS!! We ordered two Sushirittos a Shrimp Tempura and a Crab plus an order of shrimp tempura and a strawberry tea to wash it all down with. The Sushirittos were super delicious! As my 96 year old mom would say "YUMMY". Delicious tender tempura shrimp wrapped in rice and nori. (The same as the crab Sushiritto) Both were super delicious especially if you dipped them in the wasabi mayo! Gotta try this it's wonderful!! The shrimp tempura were just as yummy too! The strawberry iced tea was delicious and refreshing as well! Wonderful place and mom and I will be back soon! read more

I was introduced to Local Kitchens by another friend up the peninsula at another location, and ended up being impressed with the selection of different foods, so I had to hit up the LK closest to me. I have since been three times to try out various offerings: -Square Pie Guys: Had the pepperoni, sausage pizza, and at first was turned away by the price, but seeing the pizza itself, it's pretty hefty, and eating it, it's pretty filling! Overall very savory, but the crust, mmm *chef's kiss* - amazing! -Beef birria burrito: typically my top choice, I just really like softer pulled meats sometimes, and it works so well in a burrito; definitely recommend this one -Chicken sandwich: I also go with this one sometimes, b/c it's tender, juicy, crispy chicken; great for a quick lunch, but there's not too much in the actual sandwich aside from chicken, sauce, and pickles Overall, solid spot, good for late night, and you and yours can order different kinds of food from one place! Protip: Join their text message campaign; there are some pretty good discounts and coupon codes you can use on certain days! read more

Second time going to this location. Customer service is 11/10! The young man working the counter is so friendly and welcoming. I got a burrito with chicken, rice, beans. It's was pretty tasty. Also 3 boba guys drinks. Which were made to perfection. Delicious food and friendly staff. Highly recommend! read more

What a great addition to San Bruno! Love that there's a dine in option here, with outdoor seating as well. Now I don't have to drive so far for my Sushiritto fix. Seems like a good chill place to eat in, but I had mine to-go. Got a text right away to tell me it was ready and before I grabbed it on the counter, one worker double checked to make sure it had everything (it was missing a sauce!) My Order: Sushiritto - Sumo Crunch Burrito: they definitely don't use Hot Cheeto bits for the crunch anymore but other than that taste is still delicious. read more

Great location for Local Kitchens! Located right in the Bay Hill shopping center. Love that there's a variety of delicious options to choose from. An awesome food hall! Customer service: 5/5 Workers are super friendly Cleanliness: 5/5 Very clean and organized. Water station with napkins, condiments are fully stocked I tried out Flavor Trippin' and got the turkey BLTA, Italian turkaletta, woozy fries, Italian chopped salad, Calabrian pasta salad. The food was really tasty and super flavorful. I loved the woozy fries -- crispy and loaded with so much goodness. The sandwiches were perfectly toasted and packed. Definitely will be back! read more

A good addition to the plaza! Convenient location with a decent amount of open cafe style seating to catch up with friends -- especially if you all have different tastebuds and cuisine preferences. All the workers are super nice and they try to be as efficient as possible. Order at the kiosk or order in advance if you don't wanna wait. Our wait was 20 minutes on a weekday before 6pm. Being a huge fried chicken fan, I had to go with Proposition Chicken. Half roast chicken $15.95 -- this was a little dry around the breast. Needed lots of pesto dressing that came with it. I wish there was a fried chicken version of this. Fried chicken salad with an extra side of protein $17.94 -- ordered the Parmesan dressing and oooh it was good! The chicken was a little on the dry side and I wish it was spicer. Friend ordered the BEEF BIRRIA BOWL $12.95 Braised beef in dried chili & tomato, mexican rice, pinto beans, roasted vegetables, crema, citrus slaw, spicy salsa roja, cilantro and the WOOZY FRIED -- fries spiced in seasoned salt, chopped beef, onion & jalapeno mix, american cheese, spicy russian dressing, banana pepper $8.95 -- tasted like a Big Mac -- super yummy. read more

We went with the Proposition Chicken, since DD had a promo going. It was pretty good. Everything tasted fresh, but we wish the chicken was crispier. Fries too, even after we got home and air fried them to warm it all up. I did really like their fry seasoning. I would come back to try other stuff. So much variety! read more

I was very excited to see there's a Boba Guys closer to home!! I love the concept of having a few popular restaurants all put together in a building. However, the quality of the drinks weren't the same compared to the actual shop. I can only imagine how difficult it might be to have to learn to make 5-7 items from every restaurant. I do have high hopes for this idea/ theme to be a success. Hopefully the next time I visit, the quality is better!! read more

There is plenty of parking right next to the restaurant. The inside of the restaurant is clean and has great space to hang out with friends. The chairs vary from dining room style to some living style seating. The lighting is bright and the music is also a lil' loud. The fries from the Melt were disappointing. They were a lil' hard and the seasoning did not help with the flavor. The MeltBurger was good, but there wasn't enough stuff in it to be great, such as lettuce, tomato or an onion. It was just beef patty, cheese and pickles. The Sushirrito was very pretty. Grabbed the Geisha Kiss from the photo. The veggies and tuna inside were fresh. Besides soy sauce, I could not taste any other flavoring. The sushi rice and seaweed kept it altogether. There is a crunch from some chips, but it kind of reminded me of putting tortilla chips inside a salad.. I do not know if I would order this again. Square Pie Guys pizza was delicious because it was hot and fresh out of the oven. The cheese pull was pretty good. The corners and overall crust had a satisfying crunch with the fluffiness of fresh baked bread. The flavor was aight. A lil' bland so added sriracha when I ate the leftovers. The menu is limited at this location. Recommend this place to take a group of friends who are indecisive on what to eat. I like the restaurants more individually, but it was an interesting experience to try out. Service can vary based on how busy they are. read more

This place is always 10/10 no matter what I've ordered! From the boba to the bowls, the food is on point and the employees are the nicest. Everyone is always helpful and makes sure you get your food quickly. Plenty of room to sit inside and loads of parking if you're doing takeout. read more

Local Kitchens - Grilled Chicken Bowl - plain Jane style aka customized - Burgers Near Me - San Bruno, California

Local Kitchens is a fast casual location that offers food and drinks from multiple local restaurants (literally in the name) - you can check your area for which foods your specific LK has. It's unfortunate for me that this specific location has Boba Guys, so there goes my money and waistline. But, so happy they are here because there isn't another location nearby and I looove their drinks. I've only tried Sushirrito and Nopalito here; fan of the former, but don't go to Nopalito if you want that truly authentic Mexican food. There are plenty of Mexican restaurants in the area for that. However, my toddler and infant both loved their rice. $3 for a small cup of rice that they'll eat... I'll take it! The indoor seating is fairly clean, but I can imagine how packed they must be during weekdays since YouTube is right around the corner. Food also takes a fairly long time during weekdays as well. The wait isn't so bad during the weekends. The last time we were here, a hornet was buzzing around and shout out to the brave worker who took care of it for us. Seriously. We were all so scared! And lastly, I'm not a huge fan of receiving marketing emails/texts from restaurants, but if you like LK's food, they do regularly offer discounts (up to 50% off!) here and there by subscribing to them. read more

Decided to give this place a try again a year later, hoping that they would have worked out their kinks. Ever since boba guys in Burlingame closed down, this is the closest option, but since this place is not a boba shop first and kind of a "jack of all trades" type of restaurant I think that everything here is just average or below compared to their original locations. Came here on a Wednesday afternoon, there was no one in the restaurant, the screen shows that there is only 2 pickup orders infront of mine but the estimated time for 1 drink was still 15-17 minutes. 10 minutes go by and turns out my drink was already done but I was still not notified and my order on the screen still says "waiting". Their system may look cool but it does not work properly, a staff had to ask if I was waiting for something since I was the only person in the store. The quality of drinks do not meet the standards of the original locations, I much rather make the drive to San Carlos / Palo Alto for a proper boba guys drink read more

Came here at 11:30pm on a Thursday night (12/05/24) just to get some Boba Guys after a show we seen in SF. We took a detour while going home only to find out that the staff locked the doors prior to Midnight. Their door and yelp both states they'd be open by that time, and I noticed that the staff purposely avoided looking our way while they were cleaning even though it was 30 minutes before officially closing time. Advice to staff: Change your hours labeled on your door and yelp to accurately depict serving times. It sucks that we wasted time and gas just to be ignored because the in-store workers at that time wanted to close early. read more

Local Kitchens - Supposed Hours of Operation - Burgers Near Me - San Bruno, California

Unsure how to rate this because 1. It was Opening weekend 2. Only tried Sushiritto let's do this: *Idea- 5 stars- now your wife can get a burrito even if you want a burger, don't have to let her win again!! (Would give this 6 stars if I could) *Atmosphere- 5 stars- clean, modern, tablets to order (less human interaction- for those who like that) *Service- order through a tablet and a person hands you a bag.. hmm N/A? *Sushritto- 2 stars- waited 1 minute till my order was ready, it was soggy AF, and kinda one note (Latin Ninja- Geisha Kiss) Tuna hand roll was actually better than the others. Neighbor ordered same day with same outcome. I was excited for dinner and was really unimpressed. Whoa...I need some wine after that complicated review. read more

Local Kitchens - Latin ninja roll, geisha kiss, tuna hand roll.. got chips and guacamole (I didn't have the effort to include in my review) - Burgers Near Me - San Bruno, California

First off, I have to say that the service here was absolutely on point! The workers were super accommodating, nice, and patient with me. I ordered a pizza from Square Pie Guys and a chicken sandwich from Proposition Chicken and both items were delicious. The chicken was nice and crispy and well fried. Not too much batter was on it and the chicken was extra moist and juicy. The pizza was one of the best Detroit pizzas I've ever had and I'm honestly surprised that coming from a ghost kitchen it still managed to taste that great! I got the Big Von with pepperoni, white sauce, Italian sausage and Mike's hot honey. The crust was fluffy and chewy and all aspects of the pizza were mouth watering. The pepperoni was crispy and spicy, and the Italian Sausage added mini flavor bombs to the pizza. The cherry on top, in the case, the honey on top was the Mike's hot honey, toning down the flavors overall of the pizza and sweetening every bite. read more

Like a moth to a flame I have returned to Local Kitchens. This time, I brought my vegetarian wife! The staff was superb as they welcomed my family into the restaurant. They asked if I needed help, but at this point I figured I'm a local ;) They had an exciting new burger on the menu by a celebrity chef (can't remember his name but have always wanted to try his food)! So naturally I ordered it, I got the SOB and it did not disappoint! The bacon jelly and onions were to die for. Truly nothing in the Bay Area even comes close to this. I also had the Woozy Fries which again, are deserving of the Nobel peace prize. I don't think there is a conflict they couldn't resolve. My wife got a pizza from SPG and it was divine. We live a few blocks from one of their locations so it was a no brainer for her! Do I mind the drive from the city to Local Kitchens? Absolutely not. The space is clean, staff is great, and the menu continues to innovate. Definitely worth the time, and you don't even spend that much money. Until next time local kitchens Xoxo BB read more

Ordered the birria tacos, and they were not very good. The tacos lacked filling and the birria meat was not seasoned well. The consomme also was not very rich in beef flavor. It fell flat and just tasted kind of like tomato juice. Compared to quesabirrias from other places, this one felt like it was shortcutted. Service was great, got some free chips and salsa to enjoy. The overall restaurant is pretty nice, with plenty of seating and Wifi available if you wanted to work in here. read more

Cool spot with a great variety of food to try--pizza, burgers, chicken sandwiches, boba, and more. I went with the pizza and boba this time, and both were delicious. It's a nice place to hang out with friends and sample different things. Staff was around if you needed help, but otherwise it was chill and quiet on a Friday afternoon. Definitely planning to come back and try more! read more

So, me and the homie went for the Sweet Onion Burger. She got the classic and I went with the Spicy SOB. The homie thought the classic was a lil above average, but I really liked mines. Like I would go back for another burger! lol We also got some spiced fries from Proposition Chicken, and a cookie from Milk Bar. The fries were room temperature when we tried them and that was just a min or so after getting our order... The cookie's texture didn't seem fresh, but it had a good sweet and salty balance. I would def go back and try other thangs there! read more

Tonight is an OFF night for the Green Falafel plate. The workers are all pleasant and the ambiance of this place is fine yet this recipe was tasteless. The falafel is fried yet hard to bite into. Hummus is too thick and flavorless, Lemon Tahini was not flavorful either, BOTH are just too thick. The vegetables were pickled, yet too bitter for my taste buds. YALA FALAFEL's Green Hummus Plate needs to be if it is going to compete with some other great Mediterranean restaurants in the local area! And I wonder if the aspect of nutrition here even exists? read more

When we first came in, we were greeted by a friendly staff member who offered us complimentary water. The staff for our entire duration were absolutely amazing! From helping us order food to serving the food made the experience 10x better especially with it being our first time here! The food was good! I was pleasantly surprised with how spot on the food was compared to if you actually went to the restaurant you ordered from. I got the beef birria bowl from the nopalito taqueria and it was absolutely delicious! The ambiance is super cute! It is really clean and bright which I love. They have cute pictures on the wall that give the place a modern look with cute little pictures with food related sayings! 10/10 would recommend trying this place! read more

This Local Kitchens is located right by the entrance of the Bayhill Shopping Center. There is some parking right by the front entrance and more in the shared lot. I believe there are 9 restaurants at this location - each spot offers a smaller menu of desserts, drinks, and / or food options from the menus of the original restaurants. Not much service, as this is a micro food hall kitchen and ordering is through their tablets. I did have some simple questions about the menus, but there was no one at the front, so I waited for an employee to come to the front counter to hand out the orders - she could not answer any of questions, but she did go to the back to get someone else to help me. I ordered from Boba Guys and Sushirrito here. The boba and sushi burrito I ordered were not the best compared to the other Local Kitchens, as it did not taste as fresh or was not correctly made. Overall, I like the concept and it was a chill spot to hang out for a bit, but I wish the quality of the food was better, especially at that price point. read more

Definitely order online and if you're going to order for lunch probably do it before 12pm to avoid the rush. Today my order took about 15 minutes not bad at all. I had the mac and cheese for almost $10 the cheese sauce was okay for the price nothing overly exciting the texture was fine the breadcrumbs are a nice enhancement to the mac. read more

Came here mainly to try Tam Tam Rice and their broken rice and Vietnamese coffee was amazing ! Coffee was sweet and creamy. Didn't taste super strong or bitter. The broken rice was moist and had a ginger/chicken flavor which was delicious, meat was flavorful. It was an Americanized version but still very good. Honestly better than most Vietnamese restaurants around the area. I live in SF so most of the other things on the menu like Boba Guys, Square Pie Guys, and Sushirrito I've already tried or could get it in the city but could see coming back for lunch with my husband and toddler so they could choose what they want to eat and drink. Love that there is a variety of food on the menu. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating and ample parking space. Will be back ! read more

Great spot to stop by and grab something to eat. A place to go to help you decide what to have for lunch or snack or maybe for dinner. Choices to choose from: burgers, pizza, burrito and or sandwiches Another plus: Boba guys You can also stay in, as they have several tables/chairs and even a couch you can enjoy your meal and lounge. read more

We've come here a few times now for Friday lunch and have always had a good experience in terms of service and food. One time it took a while for the food to come out, so we started ordering ahead. Shout out to the guy working the counter who is always super friendly and willing to help. Some of the dish prices seem a bit steep, like the pizza, but it is convenient you can get all of these options under one roof. Would recommend the burger! Place is bright and clean with both indoor and outdoor seating. There are formal tables and some relaxing chairs. Bathrooms inside too. I wish the place was bigger, but at least on Fridays for lunch it never fills up as a lot of people do takeaway. read more

I really enjoy the abundance of choices to choose from and I especially like that you can order from which ever ghost kitchen simultaneously. I'm not fond of the average wait time for food as it is around 40-60 minutes. Other than that, ordering on the app is a breeze and the food options are great! read more

I love this idea of different places in one place! Even though each place has limited options, I feel like there was enough from each to have a nice variety. We tried options from Sushirito, Nopalito, Boba Guys, Proposition Chicken, and every item we ordered tasted fresh and delicious. The staff here is also incredibly sweet and really go above and beyond. We live around the area so we'll definitely be back soon! read more

Love the idea of these spots; multiple restaurants choices in one kitchen space for these businesses to save money while combining resources. Good variety of choices. Food is about the same as going to the brick-and-mortar spots. Service/wait time for food was fairly long. Although there are tables outside, the inside only has a few tables; interior could be redesigned to have more seating, probably on purpose, so to-go is recommended. The wait time is the downside. read more

Located in Bayhill Shopping Center, Local Kitchens currently has eight eateries operating out of one kitchen. I support this concept of various restaurant items being process out of a centralized location as long as food & drink quality & integrity remain high. Place orders on the kiosks inside or download the app to save time, & order before heading over. I've eaten here at various times of the day & was quoted about 30-40 each time. Real-time updates are posted on a screen near the food pick-up area. The following are their restaurant options, as of February 2024, & items I've tried: -- Boba Guys: thai iced tea ($5.50) & jasmine green milk tea ($5.35) were both good & not watered down, boba was soft & warm. -- Square Pie Guys: Mush-o-Roni ($25.60) is a Detroit-style square pie cut into four. The hot honey adds a nice sweetness to the savory mushrooms & pepperoni. Can definitely be shared between four people! -- The Melt: bf liked the BBQ Bacon MeltBurger ($11.99.) I tried the Mini Mac ($5.29) on another occasion & it was bland. -- Proposition Chicken: The Spicy ($10.95) is a fried chicken sandwich on a potato bun. Spicy, as the name suggests. Tasty honey habanero aioli. -- Nopalito Taqueria: Herby Goddess Roasted Chicken Salad ($13.95) & Quesabirria Dipping Tacos ($10.95, two to an order) were both delicious. -- Have not tried items from Sushirrito, Milk Bar, or Humphrey Slocombe yet. There's plenty of parking, outdoor & indoor seating, & the staff is helpful & friendly. Great option for groups of friends who can never agree on what to order for lunch! read more

It's a weird thing, a group of local concept kitchens together in one location. This is the future I don't want to see. The vibe check is similar to a gas station "restaurant" on a freeway off-ramp. My Boba Guys order was done very wrong, it cost more, and was slow. The drink was so bad I threw it out. They were using less tea, and a different brand of oat milk. The large drink was almost $8, and took 15 minutes to make. read more

My kids love the food and the variety of what we can order. 2thumbs up for the Local kitchen

Initially found this place on instagram and was excited to see a place that had multiple food spots in one location. Tried a sushi burrito and a drink from boba guys. The sushi burrito was okay - nothing special and a little bland in flavor. My matcha latte from boba guys was okay as well, a little sweeter for my taste and the tapioca was harder than I would like it to be. read more

Came by twice now, for dinner takeout. Was excited that a local kitchens opened up. Parked in the parking lot. staff is friendly. Inside looks clean. Ordered online 1st trip Ordered: PROPOSITION CHICKEN - Fried Chicken Tenders SUSHIRRITO - Geisha's Kiss BOBA GUYS - Jasmine Green and strawberry matcha latte both with boba HUMPHRY SLOCOMBE - Malted Milk Chocolate Ice Cream The fried chicken tenders were crispy, tasted good. The Sushiritto was more on the wet side. My drink jasmine green tasted watered down but the boba was alright. My jasmine green had Straus half and half, 25 sweet but I thought it had too much ice in it. Ordered online Next day 2nd trip Ordered: PROPOSITION CHICKEN - Fried Chicken Tenders PROPOSITION CHICKEN- Prop Spiced Fries BOBA GUYS - Jasmine Green and strawberry matcha latte both with boba NOPALITO TAQUERIA - Chips and Guacamole SQUARE PIE GUYS- Mush-o-Roni Got the chicken tenders again still crispy, I like the Parmesan sauce that comes with it. The fries tasted alright. Chips and guacamole were good. Had to get the square pie guys from the good reviews mentioned on Yelp. The Mush-o-roni doesn't look like the picture advertised, it has less toppings. The taste you can tell they added sugar on top, tasted good, reminded me a little like a sweet bun I would get at an Asian bakery. I loved the pepperoni, tasted crispy, sweet and spicy. This time I changed the jasmine green boba guys drink to 50 sweet but there was no ice level option. Still tasted watered down so next time I'll try a different drink. read more
