Lunada Kitchen absolutely exceeded my expectations! We tried the chicken sandwich, fish tacos, and chicken tenders, and every single item was fantastic. The chicken sandwich was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The fish tacos were fresh with just the right balance of flavors, and easily some of the best I've had. But the real surprise was the chicken tenders--they were honestly life-changing. Crispy on the outside, incredibly tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. I never thought I'd be raving about chicken tenders, but these are worth coming back for on their own. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming, and it's such a great addition to the Lunada Bay neighborhood. We'll definitely be back to work our way through the rest of the menu! read more

Exec summary: Cute little place with SLOW service and premium prices You sit outside in lunada. What's not to love. It's mainly covered seating but there are tables roasting in the sun- so chose carefully The food is absolutely fine, but you get PV pricing The staff are lovely but move in slow motion. And the wait for food is measured in 20 minute increments. ‍ Out of ice tea? No refills on water? I guess it's rush hour,just chill out and enjoy the weather read more

Out for a Sunday drive with my husband, we randomly came upon this restaurant. It looked pretty busy so we gave it a whirl. It's the type of place where you order, they give you a number then bring out your food. Outdoor seating only. It was a nice, sunny, breezy day. We shared the fish tacos and wings. Both were really good! We would eat here again. read more

Lunada Kitchen is adjacent to Lunada Market. There's the market and then there's the restaurant. It's fairly new, and I didn't even notice when it opened. It's predominantly outdoor, covered seating with overhead heaters. There are a handful of stool seating indoors. I've come here twice thus far. You order and pay at the counter. They give you a number, and you seat yourself. The first time I came here, I ordered the fruit waffle. They were out of strawberries, and let me know, but because there were blueberries cooked in the waffles, there were plenty of berries. It was crisp and delicious. On my second visit, I ordered the breakfast burrito, vegetarian, no meat. It comes with a side of tortilla chips with a dollop of guacamole and salsa. It's mostly filled with potatoes, so it's very filling, but tasty. I like to order the oat milk latte. Even if you're dining in, it's served in a paper cup. I like the modern atmosphere, with the wall of mirrors. So far, all the food has been delicious. The bakery items look really good, too. Staff are friendly and efficient. Parking: Free, shared lot. read more

Luanda Kitchen is this great café located right off of Palos Verdes Drive West in PV. What they offer is a really interesting collection of not only great bakery items, if you want to get something on the go, or fully prepared breakfast and lunch dishes. The food here is really well prepared and it's very good. They also offer all of the drinks one would expect: coffees, lattes, soft drinks, waters, and the like. This place has outdoor seating. They have a large patio space with a number of table. So, as long as the weather is good, this is a fun place to sit back and enjoy your food or drink. The way this place works is that you go inside to order. The staff here are happy to bring out some water to your table if your plan to sit back and enjoy the air. Overall, the staff here are all very good, very helpful, and very nice. The one thing I will say about this restaurant that I would prefer that he did a different way is that if you're actually going to enjoy your meal at one of their outdoor tables, they provide all of their customers with drinks in a paper travel cup. I don't know? That just kind of takes the whole vibe of enjoying a tasty latte away from the drinking experience. I really believe they should provide their customers that are eating at the restaurant with their drinks in a mug. But, that's just me. Overall, this café is a great addition to PV. Great place to grab a snack, a meal, a drink, and/or to sit back and enjoy the day. read more

This place can never not mess up orders . Take out to eat there , and If you say something this friendly ladies in front will give you a face like you are bothering them. Then let's talk about the food , is basically average but because is the only place around the locals go there. My husband like it if was me I will never eat there again . Please do better in your customer service and how come there is so many people behind the counter and orders are always wrong ? read more

I will start by noting the really great service by kind and helpful young women! The young lady who took our order was helpful and patient. The servers were kind and helpful- offering items before we requested them. Good service is so rare these days it's certainly worth noting!! The food was good/fine. We got the steak and eggs (nothing special- 8/10) the grilled fish tacos (also simple and straight forward. Supposedly mango pico salsa but was just regular pico. But cooked well. 8/10) and two kids meals. Also fine. The French fries were really yummy- on the thicker side but not dry! But the bakery case and pastries were 10/10! The case looked straight out of a movie! Classic baked goods done well and also some interesting takes on classics- a super chunky choc peanut butter cup cookie and a pb&j bar. The lemon bar was one of the best in the Southbay! read more

Mixed results from this place. My son and I had breakfast a few times over the summer and on the weekends and he enjoyed the pancakes and waffles. Very tasty breakfast burrito. My other son did take out on the steak frites and the first time was excellent but the second time inedible. For me, I loved the first time I had the huevos rancheros but not the next three times. I ordered in person once and online twice. They don't consistently follow the special requests. Same for the pizza. Tasty but when I ordered it to be well done, it was not and actually on the undercooked side. I gave feedback to the staff but it didn't feel like it would make a difference. She was more focused at telling me she informed the cooks, doing her part rather than making it right. I hope they read these reviews and make adjustments. Such a great location for everyone not wanting to drive off the hill. Outdoor seating is great. They also have bakery items for sale. Appreciate hearing from one of the owners. Looking forward to trying this place again. read more

Food was very good. It's expensive though. Maybe I should try some more of their stuff read more

Local business owners who are part of our community. They have created an environment for the kids at PVHS or PVIS to come down after school, grab a snack or juice, hang out, study, etc. The quality of the food is great with indoor and outdoor seating. You must check this local spot out soon. read more

I love love love the cafe! Hannah and Diane hooked me up with what exactly I had a taste for. It's not on the menu, but I wanted a cafe mocha to get through the day and they were both so kind and made it happen. I come in once a week for this delicious pick me up. They also have a cute outside terrace where you can sit and eat and drink. Im looking forward to trying the food. I'm so happy I found this place and you will be too! read more

This is one of my favorite places in the South Bay for a casual lunch. Food: great variety (pastries to coffee to sandwiches, salads, Acai bowls, hot entrees) and everything is very fresh and tasty. Of note, the fries are addicting. Service: friendly and quick Ambiance: there is an outdoor covered dining area for self seating that is clean and casual. Free parking, very relaxing feel. read more

My family and I have eaten at the Lunada Kitchen a number of times over the past couple years. Recently they've really elevated the experience for their diners. At lunchtime their outdoor patio is consistently full, for good reason! The food is high quality and reasonably priced! I would say what stands out the most though are the staff that the owners have hired. There's just something different about this team, they greet you with a smile and feel genuinely happy to work here. Great job on management in finding motivated and genuine staff! read more

Best food in Lunada Bay and a great family run business! They have draft beer on tap from local breweries as well!

Good for breakfast and also had a nice upscale burger. Prices are a skosh high but not a cheap location.

This place is a cute spot in Palos Verdes. You order at a counter and they deliver the food to your later. It was pretty quick service. The ahi tuna tartar was delicious and the sauce was the best! Just wish there was more wonton crisps. The kid's hot dog was bigger than we thought for a kid's size. It was a nice and pleasant surprise :) the fries were nice and crispy. The sparkling waters were interesting...it didn't taste like the flavor really and the ginger sparkling didn't even have ginger listed in the ingredients read more

Lunada Kitchen and it's adjoining (around the corner) Market and really great. I have had the flatbread (pizza) and the veggie and hummus plate there, ad they were oth delicious. The flat bread is basically a pizza, and I got it with the sausage. And the hummus plate had the the hummus with roased grape tomatoes and veggies, and it was really tasty. I have been here many times with the students from the school down the street, and the owner has been extraordinarily kind and friendly to use when we come. She''s amazing really. read more

Such a lovely surprise! Casual dining for breakfast, lunch & early dinner. We ordered inside at the counter and everything was delivered to our table on the outdoor patio. I had the breakfast burrito which was small but delicious with 2 eggs, potatoes & sausage - the sausage was excellent. My friend had the fried chicken breast sandwich with fries which he said was well prepared and yummy. Food ingredient quality was very good & service was very friendly. read more

My first time in but it is already my favorite spot in PV. It is a nice little spot with amazing food and great service.

Went in Monday morning for some breakfast and was unpleasently suprised with customer service. The lady that served us was extremely rude and straight up mean. She single handedly ruined this restaurant for me, will NEVER be coming back. read more

Where do I begin? Joslyn & Rick are dedicated, professional talents living in LB. The Kitchen has consistently delicious, creative offerings. Some of our faves are the beef skewers, shrimp appetizer, wings, steak frites, burger, salmon burger, sticky toffee dessert. Wait--Joslyn herself bakes the most amazing, flavorful cookies ever. Those are just a few mentions. Anything you order is going to be awesome. Outdoor heaters which are ok when the weather cooperates, but there is always take away. The market too has great selections of pretty much anything you need. So fortunate to have LB Market and Kitchen in our community. read more
