    Geisha's Kiss
    Laura E.

    Bookmarked Local Kitchens for a few years and decided to meet a friend there this evening. I got the Geisha's Kiss from Sushirrito and my friend got a salad from Proposition Chicken. I like that Sushirrito allows you to remove ingredients, which in my case were the cucumbers. However, they put in WAY too much lettuce! I like lettuce just fine but if I'm paying $18, I want - and should get - more ahi. While I love the concept, Sushirrito is just not the same caliber as Oke Poke's pokerritos. My friend seemed to like her salad and the portion was generous. Ordering on the screen was easy. My order didn't take too long. The parking lot is small but I was able to find a spot. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available; we sat inside. I wish Local Kitchens still had items from Señor Sisig, The Melt, Curry Up Now, and Humphry Slocombe. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back but if I were in the area and someone wanted to go, I wouldn't be opposed. I'd try one of the falafel or Mexican dishes next time.

    What a cool concept! We wanted a late night meal so my nephew suggested this spot after one of his friends told him about it. They're open pretty late. I think Thursdays they're open till midnight cuz it was about 11pm when we wandered in here. The space inside is a little on the smaller side, but that's okay. We took our food to go. You can order off a tablet and it's super easy. They have such cool selections. It's a few different local places I'm assuming and you can order some menu items from there. I ordered a fried chicken sandwich and fries. Mys husband and nephew got the sweet onion burgers. But they also have pizza and sushi burritos and tacos... there's literally something for everyone if you're not sure what to eat. I looooved my crispy chicken sandwich. It had a little kick to it which was perfect. So did the fries. Sooo tasty! If I lived in the area, I'd definitely frequent this place for sure.

    Delicious chicken ta plate.  Absolutely one of the best dishes I've had!

    I certainly do not come here often enough because they are adding new restaurant offerings all the time. For lunch today, Deb 7, 2025, I had the chicken ta plate from TamTam. The chicken! So many goodies on top including crunchy onions, red chilies and the variety of flavors and textures in the bowl was unbelievable! The rice is nice and sticky, the pickled daikon and carrots add a nice tartness and crispness to the bowl. The added sweet fish sauce just puts the flavors over the top. I poured some over the bowl and then dipped everything just for extra tang. My mistake for not checking the bag as my utensils were missing so pro tip is to look in the bag before running out. The crew delivered it right to me and were very friendly. I wish they had a soda fountain because I just didn't want to get on the app again to get a can beverage. They do offer water from a jug. There is more indoor seating now and new covered seating outside. I was able to park in the small lot as well. Can't wait to come back to try something new.

    Latin Ninja
    kat g.

    The Latin Ninja was OK. The quality of the salmon used was ok but the amount and flavors were yummy. It was about $20. My friend enjoyed her Taco bowl but thought the one at La Chamba in Moraga is better. The best thing about Local Kitchens is the variety and I'd want to try more. The best part of our experience was the worker we met-- Dave Stash! He was so awesome and enthusiastic, he really made our day.

    The Broke Chick Tam
    Alex M.

    I ordered the Broke Chick Tam from Tam Tam Rice, and it's been one of the tastiest menu items I've tried so far at Local Kitchens. There were so many flavors and textures to keep it interesting, yet everything paired so well together - no boring chicken and rice here! The chicken was very flavorful on its own, but the sweet fish sauce brought it to the next level. The pork and egg quiche was a unique touch, and I loved the pickled vegetables (I wish there were more!). The Persian cucumber and tomatoes almost had a Mediterranean flavor profile and seemed a little out-of-place, but they were refreshing. The overall rice to protein ratio was a bit high, but I liked how the rice soaked up the sauce and absorbed all the flavors. I'd definitely order the chicken rice plate again.

    I stopped by LK @ Lafayette, and discovered they remodeled the place. They added more seating inside in the form of bar space. They also improved the tables outside on the patio. The inside has the upgraded water and condiment station. I ordered: - The Meltburger - Fries - Tempura Shrimp Local Kitchens in Lafayette still has the best food! LK @ Lafayette was the first Local Kitchens location. It was also the place where we had a Yelp Elite Event, where I was introduced to the LK brand. Since then, I have been to every location in the SF Bay Area, plus Davis and Roseville. I always order on the LK App, and I always pickup my own food.

    This is the second Local Kitchen location that I've dined at. The purpose of the visit to this location was to support the launch of the S.O.B (Sweet Onion Burger) by a favorite chef of mine, Alvin Cailan (owner of Eggslut and Amboy in SoCal). The location was very busy but full of life with a DJ and various activities happening around the parking lot. I was given a ticket to claim one burger. The staff at the restaurant was very friendly. I received my burger right off the grill and was impressed! The simplicity of the burger made with ground beef and sweet onions pressed together, combined with a slice of cheddar cheese, sauce and soft buns tasted very delicious! I did get to meet my favorite chef and complemented his creation. I'll definitely be back for the burger and support other Local Kitchen locations. I need to try the other food vendors working with the kitchen too.

    I am here a lot! This place is so wonderful as it allows your whole family to pick different things while all being delicious! Mexican, Mediterranean, sushi, burgers, pizza, etc. They have it all! The service is generally quick and you can help yourself to water and utensils. Pretty easy to use their online app to order ahead of time too.

    Mush-o-roni
    WC N.

    As promised, we returned to try the next culinary adventure. This time we went with the classics: pizza and fries. But not just any piece of pie- the "mush-o-roni" delivered a symphony of savory deliciousness. (Did not need to drive into Oakland to get it) Next was the woozy fries- they will make your tastebuds swoon. Another happy dance for the party in my tummy Did I mention the friendly fast service? - well now I did

    One can order here on the kiosk
    Miles W.

    Tam Tam Broken Rice has been a go to - seriously favorite! The plate itself is filled with the delicious broken rice, the tender chicken, the chard, pickled radish and carrots and the tofu squares! It's a delicious combination of a dish for one person split it to two meals and it's perfect. Could be eaten dine in or take out! They have out door seating and parking! The price point for a meal without add ins is affordable.

    Tomato soup
    Skipp E.

    Amazing. Super easy ordering system. Fast service and the foot was outstanding I got the impossible melt burger (double patty) and it was great. It wasn't messy and didn't fall apart. Everything about it satisfied me The garlic fries were good as was the tomato soup. Last we got the fried chicken sandwich. Very good as well. So many dodging options so I have many reasons to come back. Service was good and the guy up front was as friendly and chipper as can be.

    What happened to Senior Sisig? I'm craving an adobo rice burrito!!

    We're glad you liked Senor Sisig, we did too! Occasionally we'll decide to rotate in a new restaurant brand in order to keep things exciting for our guests and give them a cuisine we haven't served yet.

    Are you selling latkes this year ? Nov 30 2021?

    Hi Nancy, Yes! One of our partners, Wise Sons, has latkes on the menu! :)

    Is Asian Box coming soon?

    Hi Sarina! We can definitely keep Asian Box in mind for the future! :)

Im pleased to hear they do look into these things and try to make things whole. I've been to this restaurant a dozen times since working in alamo in the past. Last time I'm coming here. I placed a phone order for a REGULAR al pastor burrito earlier. The amount of meat was miniscule compared to the beans and rice BTW. When I got there they gal read the tag that had my phone order for a REGULAR burrito. I was charged $17 but with tax it was over $18. I called later in the day and the lady on the phone said the regular is 12.99. Im lactose intolerant so I don't do dairy which the super has. Anyways I find this business practice repulsive and will not be returning. I hope this review gets views and reconsider patronizing at this establishment. Huge thumbs down. They don't seem to value customers. I called them after finding out they did me dirty overcharging me. The employee told me the owner/management was out of town. I reached out to them on instagram in attempt to inform ownership/management of what is happening. The person responding on instagram told me they are out of town. I never got a follow up from them. Who knows if they actually investigated what happened because I didn't get a follow up. I could care less about the extra few dollars they took. If they have an employee intentionally overcharging then they need to correct it. It's simple as that. All the info is in the photo I included in the review if they choose to investigate.

They seated us right away but it was the last open table - and it wasn't a great table, right by the front door and everyone waiting for take out or a table! But we were happy to be seated. They brought chips and 4 bottles of salsa in squeeze bottles. They were all delicious but one was super spicy so be on the lookout for that! They took our order, brought us water and our beers.
