This place is absolutely incredible. it is located in a purple house. When you pull up to it you do not even know it is there unless you have the exact address. This is the kind of place where there is no sign at the door, it is actually in a home. We got dropped off at the Uber and we were being hosted here for dinner from the Salesforce conference. When you walk in through the front door you are in the hallway, to the right you are going to have the dining area and if you walk straight you are right in the kitchen. We started our night in the backyard. They have a bar on the right serving wine and they had a server passing out the appetizers. I am usually not a fan of a deviled egg but it was so good. I also loved the truffle and white mushroom tarts. The tart was warm and when you but into it, it melted it in your mouth. The last appetizer that was passed around was phyllo wrapped pawns those were my favorite they had a sweet sauce on top. After a little while of hanging in the back yard we were seated at the table. We had 5 tables 10 people each. I loved the set up, there were so many details form the fresh flowers to the gold silverware. It definitely felt like an upscale experience even though we were in house. The first thing I was served was the salad. I loved all the colors from the radishes and the dressing was super fresh and a little citrusy. It was exactly what I needed after a long day. Then they served us the agnolotti. I loved the pumpkin with the sage butter sauce it was the perfect amount of sweet. Lastly we had the short rib. It was cooked to perfection and served with mashed potatoes. Overall, this was a memorable place. The fact that you are in a home gives the atmosphere such an intimate feeling paired with great service and great food. read more

I did a last minute micro wedding when I canceled my big wedding due to the pandemic. I was looking for a modern, urban-looking private dining place for about 30 guests. We had a simple reception with au d'oeuvres and a elegant dinner; the food came out hot and tasty on every plate and I was extremely full! I am glad that I can have the decorator, Nastasha from Naked Kitchen put a pretty backdrop at the back patio so I can take a few family photos. The owner, Ko, answered all my questions promptly. I would definitely recommend this place for a micro wedding, the place have a warm welcoming feel and trendy vibes. read more

My wife and I have done a number of pop up dinners at Naked Kitchen over the years and we absolutely love it. The setting is a Victorian house in the Mission with a professional kitchen, where a rising chef works their magic. Our favorite spot is the Chef's Counter, a large island in the kitchen seating up to 10 people (5 couples), where you get to see all the action -- the cooking, preparation, platting etc. If you show up a little early, you can hang out on the patio behind the kitchen before dinner. There is a dining room next to the kitchen for a more communal experience. Naked Kitchen is a nice alternative to the restaurant experience, providing a compelling value. You can also BYO-wine w/o corkage fees. read more

We hosted our intimate wedding reception here recently after getting married at SF City Hall. We had 12 guests total. When I initially inquired about hosting our event, the founder Ko emailed me back right away. He answered my questions and was great about everything. They supply everything that you need plates, silverware, glasses, and you have access to the kitchen or hire a caterer, which is what we did. We decorated the space with florals, and the end result was amazing. The space is in a beautiful Queen Victorian with a large dining area, chef's kitchen, and a beautiful back patio. It is equipped with Sonos, so you can build a playlist through the app. Our guests absolutely loved the venue, and are still talking about it. This was a destination wedding for us, and arranging everything with Ko was a breeze. I highly recommend if you are looking to have something small. read more

I was looking for venues to celebrate an engagement party that was also COVID friendly and I was beyond amazed by Naked Kitchen. The owner, Ko, offers private popup events and works with talented chefs to create an experience you'll never forget. Ko was very accommodating and offered suggestions when it came to budget, décor, and menu customization. We thoroughly enjoyed a 5-course meal prepared by Chef Levine and all dishes came out timely with an emphasis on detail. Ko's fiancé, Nastasha, also specializes in mixology and crafted some amazing old fashions and margaritas. The night started off by enjoying welcome drinks and hors d'oeuvre in the back patio followed by dining in the main room. The open kitchen concept and ability to interact with the chefs throughout the evening resembles a very fond experience I had at Lazy Bear. My friends and family continued to rave about their experience weeks after the event was hosted. Thank you Ko and team! read more

I've been to three events at Naked Kitchen. Each one was special in its own way. The experiences are carefully curated -- all the food was spectacular -- and the venue is perfect for camaraderie. Have been to one event with my partner, and two with a friend, and look forward to more. Get on this mailing list -- the events are a bargain compared to restaurants, and so much better. read more

********************* 1311 ********************** I came here for a pop up for Cadence restaurant, soon to be open on Market and 14th Street with chef Joey Elenterio and the Maven team in late June 2015. Absolutely no parking in this area nor valet, so gives yourself plenty of time to circling the blocks. Cute and charming house, nice space, open through the kitchen, a little patio in the back, clean, well kept house by the owner name Ko. Love the art works on the wall, the beautiful fireplace. Come early to get your first choice of seating, I did! The only thing I didn't care for is the 1 bathroom to share with all the guests attending the party. With a few bottle of wines and cocktails, it's difficult to hold it! I'm just saying! The food can be god but it's not warm enough by the time it gets to your table. This is why it's a pop up spot! read more

The concept of Naked Kitchen only works in a city like San Francisco. Where else would you be able to share a communal, prix fixe meal with 40 other people in a stranger's kitchen and dining room? I was here last weekend for Anthony Yang's Ante Meridian. This was a four course Sunday brunch featuring some interesting combinations including an Asian-inspired main course. My first impression of the space was positive. The open kitchen is what I imagine my future kitchen space to be. The back has a nice outdoor patio for general mingling with like-minded food connoisseurs. We had our choice of seating at the long communal tables since we got there a bit early. Drinks included house coffee and fancy coconut water orange juice. The juice tasted a bit like a creamsicle, but did not make the best juice to mix mimosas with. After people started to trickle in and fill all the seats, we started our meal. First course - coffee granola, organic Straus yogurt, huckleberry pear jam: I loved the freshly made granola and the tang of the fresh yogurt. I think there was even some beets mixed in. Second course - butternut squash, pistachio, ham, and grilled bread: I think this was my favorite course. The butternut squash was so creamy and went wonderfully with the mix of nuts, bacon, and bread. Third course - koshihikari rice porridge, togarashi pork, homemade pickles, poached egg: As an Asian, this was something that was very familiar to me. This was pretty much jook with fancy ingredients. Well done, but nothing to write home to my mother about (she would be unimpressed). Fourth course - black truffle waffles: The meal ended on a high note with these waffles. The batter was made in such a way that they were so airy and light. The black truffles were actually sprinkled into the maple syrup, which set a sweet, but earthy tone. Overall, it was a fun experience with many other fellow foodies. We thanked the chef for a wonderful meal and he sent us off with a doggie bag filled with freshly made waffles! read more

Can I just say, wow what an awesome dining experience. Went here for Anthony Yang's brunch event and it was spectacular. You enter an old victorian home that is very discreet from the outside. It's easy to miss so make sure that you have the address. It is by advance ticket only, so make sure you purchase your ticket ahead of time. The brunch was a 4 course meal for $40. We purchased the general ticket which lets you sit at a communal table that sits around 8 people. There is complimentary water and coffee, but the event is BYOB so you can bring your own champaign and orange juice if you choose. The food was great, we started with organic yogurt, with coffee granola, braeburn apple, and chestnut mouse. I was nervous that the coffee granola was going to be a little overpowering, but the yogurt's tartness balanced it out. Next was the salad with persimmons, and butternut squash. This was excellent, due to two items, the persimmon and the butternut squash. The ingredients were so fresh and the butternut squash acted as the dressing. Then, we had rice porridge, with pork, homemade kimchi and poached egg. This took on Korean influences and was hearty and gave you a nice balance of salty and savory. The meal ended with the black truffle waffles. I am not typically a waffle person, but this was amazing. The waffles were light and airy, and I was nervous that the truffles would be a weird combination, but man oh man they were awesome. The best part about it, is you can request seconds! The overall concept of this place is great. The idea of having different events with different chefs in a pop up style restaurant is fantastic. I highly recommend this to people for a nice dining experience. You can count on me buying tickets for another event soon! read more

So i obviously love the concept of a space for chefs to showcase their skills. Caught the latest Fortress of Solitude pop up by Eddie Lau and just unfortunately missed the one by Atelier Crenn sous chef Brian Limoges. Had a great multi course meal with cocktail pairings. The multi bench communal seating allows you to meet other folks and it's cool and unexpected to be in a giant purple house. Drawbacks? If you sit facing the front window the sun shines in your face and the acoustics are way loud. It's like being at a concert at some points. Regardless it's a platform for some good SF cooking talent to do their thing. read more

When we first got the address we weren't sure if it was the right location as it was set up in a town house. However, this pop up was super adorable, spacious (can accommodate well over 30 people), and well set up. The team was super welcoming and professional with serving the food. We had a 4-course meal and were more than stuffed at the end of the meal. The rice porridge and truffle waffles were my favorite :) We only stayed for an hour since we had a plane to catch. However, the hosts insisted on giving us the full experience and had a speedy service so we could leave on time. Naked Kitchen was definitely one of the highlights of our SF trip read more

We used this space as a mingle / happy hour / private chef prepared dinner for a 16 person company event. Ko was super easy to work with - he made me look awesome and I didn't really do very much work at all. Space, dinner, organization - five stars all, my colleagues RAVED about the overall evening. Felt much more special than eating in a restaurant. read more

Phenomenal space for an intimate event. We had 37 people here for our rehearsal dinner. We brought food in from our favorite restaurants but used everything else (dishes, silverware, glassware) that the venue provided. Owners are very nice and pleasant to work with. Highly recommend! read more

Who knew that this place was smack dab in the Mission! I've walked by hundreds of times and never knew. So this is the Naked Kitchen. It's a beautiful Mission home where the first floor kitchen has been repurposed as an industrial-esque kitchen. There is also a lovely dining room that seats ~10 or so. Lastly, there is a "sitting room" of sorts which is adjacent to the dining room, so I suppose ~10 more people could fit. I showed up for a private wine and chocolate tasting event for LoCA. I walked past the sitting room, past the dining room and right into that amazing kitchen where everything smelled delicious. Just two caveats if you plan an event here. #1. The upstairs is a residence. So don't go up there ;) And try to keep it down, PLEASE. #2. You will come out smelling like food. I mean, it's a small-ish space. Not like sitting in a restaurant where the kitchen is way across the space. That's it. Hope you get to check it out. read more

This is one of those establishments where you really can't judge based off of the overall ratings on Yelp because Naked Kitchen hosts pop up restaurants with different events/menus each week. This place is super cool because the entire setup up is so unique and characteristic of San Francisco. I came here with my boyfriend who thoughtfully booked this place for Anthony Yang's Ante Meridian​ brunch. Atmosphere: This is a remodeled Victorian house with an amazing kitchen and backyard area. It's almost like you're over at a super rich friend's house for dinner with a bunch of strangers. Each communal table seats 8 and there are 2 tables per living and dining room and then there are the special seats in the open kitchen. Service: Nothing to complain about - the wait staff was attentive and polite. We had to serve ourselves for the last course (meant to be family style) and water/coffee was also to be served by ourselves. Food: It was a four course brunch - Organic Strauss yogurt, coffee granola, braeburn apple, chestnut mousse - really interesting flavor combinations, everything went so well together, and this was probably the fanciest yogurt and granola I've ever had. Sometimes I still think about that coffee granola! Chicory Salad, persimmon, butternut squash puree, and crispy ham - for someone who is absolutely sick of salad, I loved this and so did my boyfriend who hates vegetables. Persimmons were perfectly sweet and again, everything went incredibly well together. This is one of those salads I wish I could learn how to make and eat everyday. Koshihikari rice porridge, togarashi pork, kimchi, and poached egg - I was really skeptical about this dish having grown up eating porridge but WOW this was SOOO good. The fanciest, most flavorful porridge I've ever had. One critique was that the pork was pretty salty, even after combining it with the porridge. Black truffle waffles - I was feeling uneasy thinking about this flavor combination because I always attribute the deliciousness of truffles to go well with savory dishes and not sweet ones. Well I was proven wrong and this was freakin amazing. I don't even like waffles, but these were perfectly crisp and delicious. Overall, food combinations were a unique and delicious experience - my only one critique would be that some of these dishes were pretty salty and despite drinking lots and lots of water throughout, I was still super thirsty afterwards, but that's not really that big of a deal. Nevertheless, I would totally return for dinner and other different pop up/events next time around! read more

I love this place. I was here for Ante Meridian by Anthony Yang. I was pleasantly surprised that the venue was a beautiful Victorian mansion, and immediately feel in love with the ambiance, especially the outdoor patio and chef's table. Our menu was: -Whipped Straus Yogurt, Date Jam, Beet Purée, Toasted Oats -Avocado, Zucchini, Goat Cheese, Pine Nut Tartine -Creamy Anson Mills Grits, Poached Egg, Crispy Ham, Pickled Mustard Greens -Black Truffle Waffles, Maple Syrup All of which are delicious. There's no doubt I'll be back for more Naked Kitchen meals. read more

4.5 stars, rounded up to 5. This review is partly for the event space and partly for the event itself since pop-up restaurants usually don't have a dedicated location or Yelp page (or so it seems?). VENUE The Naked Kitchen is a wonderfully intimate event space. It's like hosting dinner in someone's much-nicer home. It's also a classic San Francisco house which means two things: 1. You can't tell from the outside that it's an event space, which can be nice for a private event. 2. There's not a lot of space; I probably wouldn't recommend more than 15 guests total (maybe even including staff). There's only one bathroom here as well. EVENT Post-Meridian is a great pop-up restaurant if you ever get the chance to go. At this venue, there were only 10 seats available, and we all dined on the kitchen island. The staff were super-friendly, and the experience was made more enjoyable with diners and staff both making an effort to get to know each other. The menu itself was a play on breakfast (we had dinner here, hence "post-meridian"), and every bite was delicious and inventive. If you like to BYOB, chef Anthony Yang encourages guests to bring wine, no corkage fee. All in all, a great event I'd recommend to anyone who'd enjoy fine dining in a friendly, laid-back atmosphere. read more

i came to Naked Kitchen for the Ante Meridian pop-up brunch. they sell tickets via Sosh.com for about $35/person. i can't remember if i added a gratuity or if there was a ticketing fee, but for two people i ended up paying $90 for a four course brunch. upon entering 945 Valencia, you realize it's an unmarked house. this is very cute and makes you feel like you're joining some secret society. the host seats you at a communal table and eventually you are served your meal. the one negative thing i will say about Ante Meridian is that you don't really get any sort of a greeting or even a "hey, brunch is about to start! everybody get ready for food!" there is a menu out on the table for you to see what you're eating during that midmorning but otherwise nobody really talks to you about your food. it just appears, you eat, and then you leave. nobody asked how everything was or if we even liked the food at all. i did, for the record. we had...1) coffee granola with yogurt, blueberries and apricots. 2) mushroom toast with pickled onions and feta, which i really enjoyed. the mushroom was in puree form which was interesting. 3) poached egg with peas and proscuitto, which was good but very light and didn't have a great texture balance. also, the egg was still wet as there was residual water diluting the yolk. 4) truffle waffles, which were verrrrry light, probably yeasted waffles with just a nice hint of truffle. i really enjoyed that and we were given a second helping. i would've happily ate the helpings the skinny chicks next to me didn't eat but the server came and took them away too soon. would i come back? yessir, but the brunch menu doesn't seem to change very much based on what they've got up on Sosh right now. i may wait until it's at least a little different. maybe i'll check out a dinner pop-up instead. read more

Since this is purely a review of the space itself, and not the food that was served there (I've been here for a multiple pop ups and most of them have been mind blowing - PS: Love Anthony Yang's brunch), they deserve a solid 5. Imagine your dream house, with your dream kitchen, and your dream dining room, and you're eating in it. This is clearly one of the most beautiful houses in San Francisco (inside and out), and hosts a variety of famous chefs from around the world (Anthony Yang, Liz Binder etc.). The house staff are great, and I really do hope I can live in something even half as good some day.. read more

What a great way to experience something outside of going to a typical restaurant. I would def recommend anyone to try this if they haven't already. I will def. be a repeat customer. read more

Love the Naked Kitchen events! Been to 2 now, the events vary a lot in terms of the food and style, since they are geared toward pop-up restaurant chefs. Went to one where they were much more focused on the story and history of the cuisine, so prior to each course the chef and the producer bob would do an intro/background to the course. Another one was much more of a traditional restaurant dining experience where servers did a small explanation of the course as they served. The venue itself lends itself to feeling like you're at a large dinner party. And one day, I'd like to snag tickets to sit at the chefs table to be able to watch the food be prepared and snack on some extra courses. Would highly recommend people to commit to a naked kitchen event any chance they can! read more

So- this review is not about the concept or the kitchen (which were both great) but more about the chef we had at one particular event. They need to screen their chefs better. We had a 6 course "Portuguese inspired" meal by Ronny Miranda. Having a LOT of exposure to Portuguese home cooking, I can safely say that aside from the salted cod dish, the rest of the courses could really have been really from anywhere. Course 1 - A salmon crudo with some thinly cut radish, zest and lemon oil. The cut of the salmon was wanting and the taste was just ok and I failed to see the inspiration (if you were opening with a fish dish on a Portuguese meal - maybe sardines would have been more appropriate?) Course 2- poached egg in a porcini broth - this was fine - again not sure of the "Portuguese inspiration" here Course 3 - salted cod with potatoes - was great - home run Course 4 - tomatoes with balsamic - was fine - easily done at home Course - 5 - pork chops (sous vide) and pork shoulder. THIS WAS HORRIBLE. The chops were almost raw (the shoulder was good/fine but felt like I was eating carnitas from a taco stand). Dessert - hazelnut coffee cake - good but fail to see the Portuguese in this. The service was another level of horrible - slow and often left us without silverware for extended periods of time (thanks for the butter knife to cut my raw pork chop!) Again - fantastic kitchen concept and I've had family and friends have fantastic experiences with other chefs. The diners around us were as horrified as us at the meal - couldn't find a yelp page for this chef so had to leave this rating here. read more

Amazing chef... great venue and awesome good! If you haven't done this... You need to have this experience! Great way to spend Mother's Day!

Keep in mind that you will be sitting with a group of strangers while you are eating dinner. If you are ok with that then you are good to go! Food was amazingly well paired with a glass of wine for each of the five courses and they give back to non-profits! Win win for everyone :) read more

If you like a unique communal dining experience in San Francisco, this is a good place to start. Naked Kitchen brings together creators of great food, face-to-face with people who love great food. Yesterday, the chef behind restaurants like Slanted door served up a six-course menu with wine pairings. The downside is you don't have a choice over the meals, so you might want to double check should you be allergy-friendly. And if you don't like the dishes, tough luck. But what makes Naked Kitchen an exceptional experience is the company. The last time I was there, I met the rancher behind Devil's Gulch Ranch and I ended up visiting his ranch a week later because of the conversation we had at dinner. So be open to a fun dining experience and ready to meet some interesting people. Bon appetit! read more

Got invited to a work dinner and it was here. It's in a beautiful house in the Mission. The kitchen area is a dream kitchen, it's open, high ceilings, enough room for our group of 20 to move about and even go out to the deck. You can watch the chefs cook while you are having drinks and appetizers. Chef Alexander Hong from Sorrel Restaurant was cooking that night and served a delicious 5 course meal that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. If you're ever looking for an event space, that place is great! Ko the owner was helping out during the event and was very nice. read more

Although we did not end up hosting our event at Naked Table, due to internal changes, I had to share what an enjoyable experience I had while working with the team to coordinate our supposed party. Ko, the founder, got back to me within an hour of placing my event request and hopped on a call with me to hear more about my event needs and was beyond accommodating with our specific needs. I am very sad to have had to cancel this event, because this venue, food options and staff seems absolutely wonderful. I hope to be able to work with them again in the future. Thank you, Ko! read more

We held our company anniversary dinner at the beautiful Victorian house in the Mission. The setting was truly special; from the minute you walked up to the purple Victorian and were greeted at the door by the chef, Anthony Yang of Ante Meridian, it was obvious it was going to be a fantastic evening. We spent the first bit of the evening on the beautiful back porch drinking champagne (BYOB) and eating the small bites. I had an initial call the week prior with Chef Yang to go over any preferences and allergens and then he came up with a fantastic menu showcasing the season's bounty. Here was the menu: Eggplant Crouton with Vadouvan Aioli & Zaatar dusted Chickpea Pappadums with Creamed Mushrooms. The little bites were placed on beds of freshly picked herbs from the garden, just adjacent to the back porch Summer Heirloom Beans, Cucumber Tzatziki, & Heirloom Tomato salad Wild Ora King Salmon or Whole Roasted Chicken served with Chilled Yuzu Soba Noodles, Cucumbers and Radishes. Black Truffle Waffles with Salted Caramel Ice Cream. The meal, and the service, along with the beautiful house, made it an unforgettable company anniversary. It was a wonderful opportunity to enjoy truly private dining in a comfortable setting - almost as if we were having our own dinner party, but better. I would highly recommend this company and chef Anthony Yang. read more

Ko and his team surpassed our expectations. My wife and I were looking for a venue to host an intimate dinner with our close friends for her 30th birthday. As two queer women of color, we always look for spaces where we can be ourselves and feel comfortable. Ko and the team created a warm, inviting, and comfortable space for us and the guests. The space is stunning and was setup in a cozy yet elegant way, Chef Steven and Georgina nailed it with the food. We had guests with a variety of dietary restrictions and the chef accommodated every restriction while providing a delicious four course meal. Ko also referred us to Nastasha to capture photos of the evening - the photos were absolutely stunning and Nastasha was a pleasure to work with! Our friends are still raving about the space, the food, and the overall experience. I would HIGHLY recommend Ko for your next event! read more

I think it's very hit or miss when it comes to pop ups... The house is cute, unassuming, and you sort of get a view of the kitchen when you walk in. Tables are communal, but a couple next to us didn't show up, so we basically had some private space. Otherwise, you could be stuck with either good or very bad company. Service was a little iffy. They would go to the head of the table and introduce the dishes, and being on the far end of the table, they made no eye contact with us, and we could barely hear anything. Also, for one course, the food came, and the old utensils and plates were still sitting there, so as they put down the new dishes, they asked us to hand over the hold plates but hold onto our utensils. 1. Amuse: Pink lady apples with Osetra caviar and pumpernickel. The apples were an interesting contrast to the caviar, and this was probably my favorite course 2. Oyster: cucumber with diced melon, mustard seed, whey. I could taste that creamy oyster flavor, but there was no actual identifiable oyster. I think it was creamed into a sauce? We couldn't tell since the introduction to the dish was done at the other end of the table in a noisy room 3. Yuba noodles: like tofu noodles. This dish was sold as "Dungeness crab," but I could only find tiny slivers of crab meat in my dish. They alliums smelled wonderful, but this dish was very dry and lacking 4. Spot prawn: a sweet but very mealy prawn - this texture was so off - I can't remember the last time I had any seafood that was... mealy. The 45 day dry aged beef underneath wasn't bad with the salsa verde. 5. Squab: they initially brought plates of squab to the tables, and I thought we would each get one or half or something, but it was just for show. In the end, there were two pieces of meat and a leg/foot without much to it. The squab was cooked properly, and I actually liked the wheatberry and shisito peppers, but it was a pretty sad portion for a main course. 6. Coconut: the online menu featured nectarines, but the actual item was a white chocolate panna cotta (not bad) with plum and miso butterscotch. The savoriness of the miso was the best part of the dish. I personally don't particularly like coconut, but all together, it made for an interesting dessert. At the end of the meal, people start trailing out. Then, the kitchen staff comes around with shot glasses to sort of salute you, and you watch them take shots as an unofficial end to the meal. Summary: - Downsides: service, portion sizes, one bathroom, a stuffy room, noise level, lack of value for the money - Upsides: BYOB, relatively easy street parking, convenience of the price already including tax and tip (tickets are bought ahead of time online).. but maybe this explained the subpar service.. or lack, thereof The main word I would use for this experience was: disappointing. Quince and Atelier Crenn are two of my favorite SF places as far as fancier food goes, and while I was in Boston, Oleana was one of my go to restaurants. Therefore, I was excited to see Chef Brian Limoges would be doing a pop up, but each part of the meal was just progressively more underwhelming. I've heard some of the other pop ups can be very enjoyable, particularly the brunch, but this experience just did not make me want to go back. read more

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU EXPERIENCE NAKED KITCHEN!!!... Thursday July 31st, 2014... This was my first time and I will be returning... On this nite they featured the Chef from Eat PekoPeko & Restaurant Rintaro which is scheduled to open in the early Fall on 14th & Folsom in theCity... We're friends w/the Chef & his Family, that's why we selected that nite... Some ppl in the industry & city government don't agree on the concept of Naked Kitchen, but I totally dig it... LUV how it's located inside an old Victorian House/Home where the owner rents out the first floor which is transformed into a restaurant that offers two seating's, 6pm & 8:30pm up to 50ppl per seating... The dinning room consists of long tables basically making it communal dining... They feature up and coming & established Local Chefs who create a menu that showcases food from their restaurants or soon to open restaurants/venues... What's also cool/unique is that they utilize Social Media Networks & Built in Email Lists and Followers of the Featured Chef to get the word out... We had a blast, the ppl that sat around us also were enjoying themselves and were fun to mingle with... read more

I worked with the owner/founder of Naked Kitchen, Ko Sun, on planning a private event for a 30th birthday dinner. Everything was amazing. He was very professional, and the dinner could not have turned out better. We had 30 guests fit comfortably in the private space. Chef Anthony Yang prepared our dinner, a delicious 4 course feast. In addition to the wonderful food, the service was spectacular. I definitely recommend Naked Kitchen if you are planning a private dinner event. It is a very unique space and all of my guests absoultely loved the evening. read more

I had the feeling that I could not shake, that if I were going to create a pop up restaurant and try to gouge yuppie Mission types out of their lightly earned dollar, this is the exact thing I would do. It was the easiest food you could make, featuring the cheapest ingredients you could buy. Brunch is 50 bucks. For that you get four courses of some variant of sugar or carb. Yogurt, bread, waffle, quinoa porridge. Quinoa porridge tastes about how you would imagine it would taste. Devoid of joy. I was the fanciest Oliver Twist in all the land. Our table shared juice (grocery store--not fresh), coffee (diner quality), and one of the courses with other strangers at our table. In my opinion, that's kinda awkward. How hard is it to get us an extra pitcher? There was also a lady running around taking our pictures without consent. That was pretty damn awkward. If it were about a third of the price, and you carry an insulin shot with you to help normalize your blood sugar, the place wouldn't be so bad. Food is edible, like I say it's pretty hard to fuck up. Or, you could take it in another direction -- make the food very good and distinctive to justify the price. Alas... reality disappoints. read more

My wife and I had the good fortune of attending 4 previous Pop-ups, including last night's dinner. They have all been hosted by the acclaimed chef, Andrew Greene. Each event has been filled with food courses that belong in Bon Apetit! !! Chef Andrew and his sous chef, Duncan, create dishes that stimulate every taste bud. Chef Andrew is a true master of the kitchen. read more

Sunday brunch here is amazing. Pro tip - sit at the chef's table, it's fully worth it! We had a blast and will absolutely return!

Just came back from an incredible night at the naked kitchen. We had a work group of 32 people and it was truly one of the most incredible dining experiences I've ever had. The setting is in an old Victorian house in a residential neighborhood. It is a charming house with the main floor having been converted to an event area. Our group was the perfect size for the venue; any more people would have been too many. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by salmon hors d'oeuvres and wine. It is a very casual setting and we walked into the kitchen and spoke with the chef and the staff. Everyone was extremely nice and we were made to feel as if we were special guests at a family home. The first course was a butternut squash soup that was excellent. It's something I would have never ordered out, but I was glad I had it. We then were served an extremely fresh salad followed by the main courses of blue nose bass and roasted wagyu beef with fresh vegetables. Unbelievably good! The meal closed out with pumpkin brioche donut holes that were addicting. Dinner lasted nearly 3 hours as we hung out and talked with the staff and drank wine on the back porch. A truly great night. Can't wait to do this again! read more
