Local Kitchens

So excited that this place has opened in LA!! Used to love going when I lived in the Bay, and their new Studio City location is even better. A great option for a quick weekday lunch or when you're with friends and can't agree if you should get Mexican or Asian or burgers. We tried the Carne Asada Carmelo Taco, Broke Chick Tam, and Green Falafel. Loved them all but my favorite was the Carmelo Taco - have had a lot of Mexican food but never anything like it. Super flavorful carne asada that wasn't dry at all and yummy melted cheese. Definitely want to try more of Rick Martinez's menu next time. Service was friendly and ambiance was great - plenty of seating and the parking lot is a bonus! Will be coming back!

One of the best pork belly dish I've had in a long time! the food literally melts in your mouth! lots of flavor and arrangements of pickled side veggies that balances out your taste buds it makes every bite so much fun! I've also ordered chips n bean dips and I couldn't stop. The service was phenomenal! I'm coming back for dinner. I definitely recommend..

Studio City has a great go to lunch spot with Local Kitchens. What makes this place stand out is both the food and the concept. You can order from multiple restaurant options under one roof, so it works well if you are with a group or just want variety in one meal. This location features Chef Rick’s Mexican with Sonoran inspired tacos and burritos, Chef Alvin’s Burgers with Oklahoma onion burgers, Chef Ari’s Fried Chicken with California style fried chicken, Chef Tuệ’s Vietnamese with Saigon inspired rice plates, and Chef Einat’s Mediterranean with Tel Aviv inspired pitas and plates. I tried the fried chicken sandwich, spiced fries, chicken nuggets with ranch, and the Persian cucumber lemonade. The chicken sandwich was juicy and crispy with more of a chipotle style flavor. It is less salty than a Popeyes sandwich and instead has a smoky spice that feels intentional. The pickles and sauce bring good balance. The spiced fries were probably the highlight. They are crispy and seasoned almost like Cajun fries but with their own twist. I would definitely get them again. The nuggets taste like the sandwich filling without the bun, so they are a good option if you just want the protein. The ranch was solid and paired well with the crispy breading. The Persian cucumber lemonade was refreshing, tangy, and not overly sweet. It is pulp heavy, so if you do not like texture in your drinks that may be something to note, but I thought the flavor was great. Overall this is an easy lunch spot that I would come back to. I am rounding up to 5 because the quality and variety deserve it. Between the fries, the sandwich, and the drink, this was a really satisfying meal. I also like that they are open later and have a wide mix of options, and I look forward to coming back to try more from the different chefs.

The food here is great! I had the pork belly and a burger. Both dishes were flavorful and I’ll definitely come back. They put one of the patties on the side for me.

The braised pork belly broken Rice has very authentic flavors. Blew me away! Cant wait to try more items. My friend has the fried chicken sandwich, also delicous.

Still loving Local Kitchens and have ordered to go from here several times already. I was super excited to order the jackfruit salad however, the jackfruit protein was virtually non existent so ended up with basically just a bowl of greens. Bonus though — it did come with a spring roll which was delicious. While the greens were tasty, I really would have loved to try the full experience of Chef Tue’s bowl - I will keep ordering from here but just be sure to ask for the jackfruit if you come in here hungry to try it.

Great food and I love the variety of options they have. Definitely going to come back. Also I loved the playlist they had going while we were here

This place seriously impressed me. Local Kitchen is one of those spots where you can tell the chefs really care. every dish feels like it has a story behind it. They describe their food as inspired by personal connections to flavors on their board. I tried a little bit of everything: - Veggie egg rolls were super crisp and fresh, not greasy at all. -Pork belly tam was rich, tender, and packed with flavor. -Garlic fries hit the spot, crunchy with just the right amount of garlic. -Steak taco had bold flavor in a small bite and perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. -Burger was juicy and satisfying, a nice balance between comfort food and something a little more elevated. - Vietnamese coffee? Strong, sweet, and the perfect end to the meal. The vibe is casual but nice, not too fancy, not too basic. You can tell there’s a lot of heart behind the menu. Everything tasted intentional, like the chefs really put their personality into each dish. Local Kitchen is worth checking out. Great spot for sharing plates and trying a bit of everything.

Sad to hear that this location has closed after only a few months after opening. It was very promising and had a lot of potential considering the prestigious chefs involved in this business. So many options in the menu featuring dishes made by these five award winning chefs. It's like having five different restaurants under one roof. Dined here with family and everyone loved everything we ordered. We ordered pretty much one item or two from each chef but the stand outs were the pork belly tam and overachieving burger. The place was bright and clean. The staff are friendly. Food was delicious. Many food options available. All the positive things that any business could have to succeed but failed. Who knows what went wrong?

Love to see a new restaurant show up in the Silver Triangle. I work across the street from here and decided to give it a shot (it's Friday!!) - I'm so glad I did. Super reasonably priced, delicious food (I had the spicy chicken sandwich - EXCELLENT), and I'll definitely be going back. Welcome to the neighborhood!

Interesting idea, basically ghost kitchens with a dining area. Steamed egg was the best. Seems strange the no sauce option. Maybe up the price a quarter, include a basic sauce with an option for others at a little addon Mediterranean wrap had some good flavors but prep was uneven so some bites were flavorful but others were blown out by one ingredient or another. Cole slaw was flavorless and dry. Threw out half of the small portion. Seems like they are having trouble in the kitchen. As mixed as my experience was I don't think I'll be back in a while.

Delicious!! Love this burrito! My fiancé got me a to go beef burrito and I usually don't like it bc they get soggy or super greasy. This one was not soggy or super greasy! Also the size was great. Not too small or big. Definitely will be back to try their other menu items!!

Great flavor! But I wish I remembered to ask to make the dish not spicy. As someone who can't handle a lot of spice, I struggled finishing the last bits of the dish, but I overall enjoyed it with a lot of water!

Over the last few years, the food hall concept has taken over as a one stop shop for dining out. Whether it's inside a mall or a casino, food halls have become the new normal. However when I heard who were the chefs behind Local Kitchens, I knew this restaurant would be in a class of its own. Local Kitchens recently opened in LA and is located inside the Studio City Plaza taking over where Pick Up Stix used to be. There's plenty of free parking and they also offer outdoor patio seating. What makes Local Kitchens standout is that it's 5 different restaurants under one roof with each chef bringing specific dishes. They've been open for about a month and each time I've gone, the customer service has been amazing. It's a very modern space with art showcasing each individual chef. As soon as you walk in, you enter your order on a kiosk and the food is prepared within a few minutes. The menu offers your choice of Vietnamese, Mediterranean, California style fried chicken, Sonoran Tacos/Burritos, and Oklahoma style burgers. Of the dishes I've tried thus far, my personal favorites have been the SOB, Caramelo asada taco, and the raspberry lemonade. Besides the food being reasonably priced, Local Kitchens also brings attention to the different cultures that make up the restaurant industry. I can't wait to order something new tonight!

I was so excited to hear that a new eatery had opened in Studio City, especially one in such a convenient spot near where I usually hang out and grab food. I came with my parents and we shared a little bit of everything to get a good sense of the menu. First off, the Vietnamese Salted Cream Iced Coffee was a standout. The Trung Nguyen premium coffee, sweetened condensed milk, and salted cream tasted like dessert in a cup. Rich, sweet, and creamy in the best way. The Chicken Adobado Burrito was packed with flavor. Queso chihuahua, refried beans, caramelized onions, guac, pickled red onion, and not one but two kinds of salsa. The pecan salsa macha gave it a great nutty heat and the grilled tortilla held everything together perfectly. We also loved the Amba Chicken Hummus Plate. The shawarma spiced chicken paired so well with the creamy hummus and bright toppings like pickled cabbage, sumac onions, and spicy green schug. The pita bread was warm, fluffy, and slightly underbaked in the best way; almost pillowy. Such a good shareable plate. The Housemade Guacamole and Chips were fresh and zesty, classic but elevated with a nice kick from the serrano chile and jalapeño. The Bork Chick Tam came with charbroiled chicken, broken rice, a pork and egg quiche, pickled mustard greens, and more. The chicken was incredibly moist and the variety of textures and flavors made this dish super satisfying. For dessert, we split the Molasses Chocolate Chunk Cookie, which was chewy, rich, with just the right hit of sea salt and the Summer Berry Nachos, which were a fun creative treat with crispy cinnamon sugar chips and tangy berry salsa. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully put together. I'm really looking forward to going back and trying even more from the menu, especially to see what other guest chefs or specials they might introduce in the future.

Amazing addition to studio city! I love how you can have a 'tour of flavors' here. Seating is mostly limited to 2 seaters so it may be tricky to come with a big group as there is only one big community style table for big groups. The team is so nice, helpful and attentive. As a team learning the rhythm of opening a new spot they can be tricky and they nailed it. The food came out quickly and hot! We tried a bit of everything - the standouts were the chips + guac, chicken tenders, and pork belly tam. The chef inspired dishes are unique, flavorful, and makes you feel like you're eating right of their cook book! Be sure to end your experience with a horchata - it tastes like a berry dessert! Notes: - it's a bit small inside, so takeout may be the best option depending on the time of day - the amba chicken pita had a bit too much sauce for my liking (amba aioli) Will definitely be back and encourage you to try!

Great new addition to Studio City! My husband and I attended the soft opening of Local Kitchens, and everything was so good! From the minute we walked in, we were greeted, and they took our order very quickly! The food also all arrived super fast too! We tried a little bit of everything, from each of the different chef's menus. Some of our highlights were the elote, pork belly tam, and the chicken tenders! The elote had the perfect level of spice from the pecan salsa macha. The pork belly tam was very tender and flavorful! The chicken tenders were also very juicy, yet crunchy! The inside is quite small, but they did a nice job at accommodating everyone. All of the servers were very kind and answered all of our questions! I can see this being the perfect spot to grab and go some delicious and affordable food if you're on the go!

Don't judge this restaurant by its unassuming exterior... what waits inside is nothing short of scrumptious. Local Kitchen's concept of showcasing standout dishes from different chefs is a true win for its patrons, creating a menu that feels like a culinary passport. The service was friendly and they did a great job helping us to navigate the menu. We started with the Hot SOB Burger, a juicy ¼ lb. angus beef patty layered with caramelized and crispy onions, melted cheese and bacon. Every bite was bold, savory and slightly sweet. The Carne Asada Caramelo Taco was a show stopper! Tender grilled carne asada topped with salsa verde cruda, pecan salsa mocha, onion, and cilantro made this dish outstanding. The flavors, textures, and presentation came together beautifully in a single, unforgettable bite. The spiced fries were the perfect companion to the burger...crispy, well seasoned and addictive. To cool things down, we tried the Persian cucumber and mint drink which was lightly sweet, crisp and incredibly refreshing. Local Kitchen has mastered the art of delivering variety without compromsing quality. I'm already looking forward to returning to explore the Vietnamese and Southern dishes on the menu.

Local Kitchens. Never heard of the name before. Catchy and interesting. On the 12th of this month I visited this new location that just opened couple of weeks ago and is doing great! I walked in and was greeted by Samuel and he was pretty knowledgeable about the menu and was also helpful to help me pick out few items from their extensive menu options and I was ready to go. The menu is divided into sections: by 5 different chefs and kind of incorporated all together. I got their 2 Carne Asada tacos, elote corn, a burger with their SOB sauce which stands for (sweet onion burger) and Raspberry lemonade. Everything tasted very fresh and delicious. Eclectic & Authentic. Which I liked and was very much impressed by it. With that being said, I told myself that I will visit this unique restaurant with a different twist, one or two more times before I write a review on them. Yesterday, after my doctor's appointment my son and I went to LK to try more of their dishes. We both shared Elote corn, Amba Chicken Pita sandwich, The Broke Chick Tam, Chicken Adobado Rice Plate and Vietnamese Egg Rolls. Everything tasted HEAVENLY!! Fair portions and affordable prices. Restaurant is very cozy, nice, clean, with upbeat music, and friendly, customer service. Employees are well trained, and knowledgeable with the menu. It can be a bit confusing, but they walk you thru it. Has a patio, great art work on their walls and not one, but two clean restrooms. Also they are selling books by the chefs and have it on display as a decor. I thought that was dope. Thank you Samuel, Andy, Mia, and all the other employees and management. Will definitely return and it is literally 5 minutes away from my house. Will post pictures soon.:-)) Keep up the good work & ALWAYS BE CONSISTENT!!!!

Service was friendly and ambiance was great - plenty of seating and the parking lot is a bonus! Will be coming back!

The staff could not be more amazing. I had a hummus plate with green falafel. It was amazing. So many tastes that are different yet work together in harmony. The falafel are legit green. The pita bread is fluffy and thick and perfect for hummus pick up. They are the best falafel around. I'm so excited that this restaurant is close to work. It's easy to order. Food came out quickly. And the place itself is super cute. Highly recommend!!

Food, service and ambiance are top notch. First time customers and ordered the Bacon SOB, the SOB with the side of fries and Aoli garlic sauce and SOB sauce. Also, ordered the Orange Creamsicle soda. They were all good and reasonably priced. We'll come back to try other items on their menu. Nice addition to the food scene in Studio City. Easy to get to with ample parking.

Was really excited to try out this new place especially because it was getting good reviews but left disappointed. The fried chicken sandwiches were way too salty and the texture of the chicken itself was tough. I probably ate less than half of it 3/10. The chicken tam was okay though 6/10. The garlic fries with the garlic aioli were the best thing that we tried on the menu 8.5/10. The customer service was fair, and the lady even asked if I would have liked something else after explaining that I didn't like the chicken sandwiches. But at that point I didn't have an appetite anymore. It sucks because it seems like a great concept and I loved how the space looked! Hopefully they can improve.

Nothing's more frustrating than ordering food first, only to watch other tables--who ordered the same dish after you--get served before you. That's not just bad luck; that's a broken system. Fix your process and your protocol, or this place will end up like every other LA spot that shutters before it even gets going. Then came the "chicken sandwich"--a single chicken tender on a bun (pictured below). That's not a meal. That's a joke. But the real problem? Sam. The guy working the counter today couldn't care less. He didn't just mishandle the situation--he almost laughed it off, not sarcastically, but because he seemed too clueless to even realize how bad it was. The last time we came, the person running things actually cared. This time, it felt like no one was in charge, and Sam was coasting through, oblivious to the concept of customer service. And when we asked for a refund for that overpriced "sandwich"? Sam informed us they can't even process refunds on-site. Instead, we're told to wait for "services" to contact us--whenever they feel like it. Good food can't save a place when service is this careless. With staff like Sam running the show, this place isn't just on borrowed time--it's already circling the drain.

Tucked into Studio City like a hidden gem, Local Kitchens is a flavor-packed food hall that punches way above its weight. With a rotating lineup of local favorites under one roof, it's like a culinary cheat code for indecisive foodies. I tried Chef Tue's Vietnamese - The Rich Pork Belly Tam Braised pork belly over broken rice with pickled veggies, crispy onions, and sweet fish sauce. A comforting, umami-packed dish and was blown away by the freshness and speed--perfect for a quick bite that doesn't skimp on quality. Bonus points for the clean, modern vibe and friendly staff who actually seem to enjoy being there. Can't wait to come back and taste my way through the rest of the lineup.

The place is called local kitchens but it's more like a ghost kitchen with a few tables to sit at. This isn't a local restaurant, it's a chain from NorCal that serves a variety of foods, but none of them that well The carne asada taco was ok but nothing special. The eggrolls were the frozen kind you get at a low end Chinese restaurant, but dolled up with herbs to wrap with it (Italian basil was a plot twist) The fried chicken sandwich was overcooked. HiHos is a lot better

More than amazing and everybody needs to get there ASAP.. I'm blown away by the quality of food and how it's not super long lines out of this place.. I personally think the location is keeping ppl from seeing it but once you find it.. You'll never stop going!

The answer to, "What do you feel like eating?" An excellent collab of five contrasting chefs. We had some succulent Mediterranean chicken on hummus, falafel, and an amazing Sonoran mild spicy taco. Vietnamese street food and Oklahoma burgers were also available. Clean and comfy seating and friendly service. I'll definitely be back.

Local kitchen delivered. came here for the first time and explored their menu. the food was so fresh and delicious. Probably the best corn on the cob I've ever had in my life and the pita bread was beautiful. Had the caramelized taco it had just a perfect hit of spice.. The staff is super helpful and nice. Plenty of parking. Do your life a favor and pull up. The inside is super clean and you can eat inside or outside. Really nice vibe.

Very nice place , clean inside. All the guys in the back are very nice and very helpful. I'm officially addicted to the CHICKEN TENDERS Tacos are also very tasty. This a great place when I'm not sure what I want to eat. Love the patio outside, door friendly always a plus for me .

Such amazing variety of menu options, a very cool dining vibe, friendly and attentive staff....and top 5 carne asada taco of all time!

From the moment you walk into this humble location, the energy is positive. Friendly greetings and sincere "thank you's" from the knowledgeable staff. Then the food and beverage arrive and Wow! We had items from Rick Martinez and also some egg rolls. Everything was delicious, hot and so fresh. We also had a berry horchata and a Vietnamese ice coffee with salt cream. Both exceptional. Can't wait to go back.

I just got to experience this new spot and got myself traditional Vietnamese dish and I am pretty satisfied with this dish because I love the fact that they have broken rice and the egg quiche with the daikon and cucumbers. It definitely feels very traditional since my family is from Vietnam ! I was a little worried at first only because they have all other kinds of foods, but I do like the fact that they are working with different chefs and have a big variety on the menu. The staff were really friendly as well so I definitely would come back and try the burgers!

Loved the broke chick tam and the cucumber mint lemonade. Really tasty, great portion size! The server warned me the cucumber mint lemonade was a little pulpy, but I loved it. So refreshing. The only downside is everything on the menu looks amazing, it's hard to choose! Can't wait to go back!

Fantastic food and service. Love the concept. I am a vegetarian and they had plenty of options along with meat options. A few must haves: - Jalapeño Ranch Wedge Salad - Black garlic cauliflower - Elote con Chiltepin

Delicious! Seriously, the place to go with friends or family who might not all want to eat the same "genre" of items. My friend and I dined "buffet style" where we ordered some different items and tried a few bites of all the plates. The challenge? Everything was fantastic. So, here's what we loved (sorry, long list and names weren't exactly the same as what's on the menu): Vietnamese spring rolls - oh my goodness, my friend is a pho snob - said these were the best she's found - I thought they were delicious too SOB Burger - just wow Fries - I'm a fry snob - these pass the test with flying colors Herb-y Chicken Salad - fabulous (green, also full of herbs and a crispy fried chicken - healthy and naughty all in one bowl) Sweet nachos - seriously who knew raspberries, lime, cream and crispy brown sugar/cinnamon tortillas (anyone remember "Cinnamon Crispas" when that fast food chain with the bell was good?) would be such a magical match? Chocolate salted chunk cookie - seriously - just try it Mint cucumber lemonade - I can't even remember tasting something so refreshing and wonderful Raspberry lemonade - not just for summer, we'll drink this year-round Hearing all the other patrons at the tables next to us oohing and aahing over their plates made us realize, we weren't the only ones who chose well! We'll be back... often!

This place is amazing! However nothing beats great customer service it's almost better than the actual food at least for me! I came in with my cousins cause he said he had the burrito for his lunch so he brought us to try it. The worker Samuel was so kind and attentive and very knowledgeable on all the food items. I like how he was cleaning and still managing to focus on us ! Amazing service thank you Samuel , I will return

Service and staff was easy and very welcoming , environment is clean and friendly, food was exploding with rich flavor, I'm glad I was able to try a little bit of everything. 10/10 recommend and I will be coming back!

I read about Local Kitchens opening on Eater or Nextdoor, so when I saw that it was open, I decided to give it a try. So happy that I did. First, the person taking my order was excellent. I didn't get his name, but I suspect he was the manager. Very friendly and gave great advice on the food offerings. I took his advice for the Vietnamese Pork Belly that turned out to be excellent. Very tasty, high quality food. I highly recommend Local Kitchens. It lived up to the hype.

Had a wonderful experience during the soft opening- never been to a place where everyone is so friendly and happy to be part of the team! I had the two aviv dishes - falafel rice plate , extra pita and amba sauce- so freaking delicious. Hubby had falafel pita and loved it, especially the sauce I shared- it's mango/turmeric! Lovely time! Thank you! Oh and delicious complementary cookies just because i waited a few minutes extra!!!

Insane food and quality!! It's been a long time since I felt wowed by a restaurant and their dishes and this place did not disappoint. Tried a multitude of dishes and everything was delicious!

Staff here were definitely of wonderful service. Heard about the Local Kitchens through the Facebook ads with Chef Alvin Cailan. Got to try the burgers and com tam, and both were delicious! Everything was so clean and definitely will be back. Was here on the 4th of July.

Great menu! Tons of variety. I got the chicken tam plate...amazing. Also seems very reasonably priced...I don't normally leave reviews but impressed enough to. I recommend.

Just went to the grand opening and tried a little bit of each with my cousin. Absolutely delicious. We must have had 6 dishes. Highly Recommend the Mexican, Vietnamese & mediterranean, dishes and drinks. The owners were so friendly and team had a great energy! Definitely coming back soon with family & friends!

My boyfriend and I have come here 3 times in the past two weeks. Everything is seriously so good- no matter what you order it is thoughtful and flavorful. The staff is incredible and extremely hospitable and friendly! 1000/10

Excellent food! We got the am a chicken pita and it was so flavorful and juicy, the portion was perfect for a lunch, we also got a Mexican rice plate with chicken is was also super delicious but kinda small. The place looks nice but the restrooms were both dirty, they should pay more attention to this and clean it more often.

Visited again today. Had the Amba Chicken Hummus Plate and a Raspberry Lemonade. The good-sized chicken plate could easily be split and consisted of shawarma-spiced chicken, amba aioli, hummus, Moroccan carrots, pickled cabbage, sumac red onion, arugula, spicy green s'chug, shipka pepper, and pita bread. Every single item was beautifully prepared and super tasty. Even the pita was freshly baked and fantastic. The raspberry lemonade was packed with freshly muddled raspberries and very refreshing. Another winner meal from Local Kitchens.

Always good food and great price. Great variety and service. What a breath of fresh air to the Studio City food scene!

My husband and I were invited to a Family and Friends event today. It was a great experience. We were very warmly greeted by Andrew at the front door. He gave us the menus and let us know we can select any items from the different cuisines from 5 Chefs, burgers, fried chicken, Mexican,Vietnamese, Mediterranean types of food. I had a steak taco, handmade guacamole and chips and Iranian cucumber and mint drink. My husband had two chicken tacos, chicken salad and a raspberry drink. All were fresh, cooked well and so very delicious. Place is very clean. The staff were all friendly and service was excellent. Recommend dining here. Everyone in a group or family has their choice of what to eat. We will definitely be back.

This restaurant is phenomenal. Their cucumber lemonade is house made and tastes incredible. The Vietnamese food is some of the best I've ever had -- better than I've had in Vietnam. Highly recommend to everyone! There's something for everyone

Well, I see the potential in the place but it's not executed well staff doesn't seem to know in the front or I will say the register about ingredients and what it is not educated on the menu and what they have my wife got the Mediterranean chicken plate and it was not Mediterranean. It was a curry chicken. I got tacos. They're OK tortillas we're fresh. I found out that was locally sourced. I asked for slices of avocado they weren't able to provide I said, but you make guacamole yes but I don't think we have sliced avocado My son got the Fried, which is a fried chicken sandwich. Nothing special and store-bought french fries to go with it. This is why I give it a two star review it's OK

I had the opportunity to try a burrito on Rick Martinez's menu at Local Kitchens. I have lived in LA for several years, and consume more burritos than the average individual. This is easily in my top 3 most delicious burritos I've ever had...possibly the best I've ever tried. The flavor of the vegetables is unlike anything I've had before. The salsas are well balanced and completely delicious. The tortilla itself is delicious as well. Needless to say, this is my favorite spot at the moment. If you are around while this menu is in town, it is worth a visit. I am truly blown away!

Unique concept in dining. We were 6 in the party and we ordered hamburgers, Vietnamese egg rolls, Chicken sandwich and I can't remember what else but it was less than $75 and everything was memorable and delicious. I live in Studio City and this is a hidden gem amongst the high priced restaurants of Ventura Blvd.

Briann and staffed welcomed me with smiles, helpfulness, and brilliant service. Great food too!!!

Just had a really delicious dinner. Everything is made in house, and it's immediate that these folks take great pride in their food. We will definitely be back!

Excellent menu! The variety of drinks is great, as are the foods. This place will be my new addiction.
