Orchard City Kitchen Reviews

This is a great resturaunt. The wait staff is amazing.

Great food. Great service. It has become one of my favorite restaurants.

Great food great ambience and great service definitely recommend and will be back again here soon.

One of my favorite restaurants in the South Bay. Always buzzing and a fun atmosphere, very creative cocktails, helpful/friendly staff, and rich varied menu with something for everyone...though not necessarily cheap!

The food is all small plates and ideal for sharing - the signature BBB (Biscuits, Bacon & honey Butter) is just sublime, the KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) is delicious, the brussels sprouts mouth-watering and the list goes on.

Always busy so make sure you get a reservation...but they take bookings online through Yelp, so it s super easy to book.

Good food. Flavor is pronounced and special in that it has its own character despite being a common fish in other restaurants. Cozy atmosphere but a hair tight in spacing. Great for any meal of the day. Portions are on the small side by my taste.

Fair prices, great service and the dishes looks good and taste great :)

Took my sister here for her birthday. Was pretty busy for a Tuesday night. Waited 20 minutes for a table. The service was great from the get go. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and drink menus.

Ordered food and cocktails. Wait time on the food and drinks was pretty normal. Both the food and drinks were amazing and exacuted nicely. Everything tasted fresh. I was really satisfied with my meal.

The vibe and atmosphere was awesome. Great for large or small groups. Perfect place to take a date even. I'm definitely going to visit again.

The food was excellent. The service was speedy, and the drinks were delicious. I felt the price point was high for a signature cocktail but it was a generous pour- they didn't skimp where it counts. The flavor combinations are unique and I felt the portions were generous as well.

Love the whiskey selection and the small plates are great, just be prepared for the bill

Good ambience and impeccable service. The food is delicious even though portion sizes aren t great.

I wish there was more choice for vegetarians, but the vibe makes up for it.

Very beautiful environment and outdoor seating is amazing! Food tasted fresh and healthy. Very busy on the weekend though so reservation is a must.

We recently moved from the East Coast. We were invited to dinner at this Restaurant. We haven t stopped going. With great food and a very nice staff why would we stop?

My wife and I usually come here once a month. Both breakfast and dinner menus are great but it's definitely pricey! I'm also well aware of the price of food here so I'm not gonna harp on their proces. It's a small plate kinda restaurant but bigger portions are available. Lamb chops, wagyu steak, bone marrow, duck to name a few. They tend to switch up the menu fairly often when it comes to the food and bot as often with the drinks. They make killer cocktails! Biddi biddi bum bum is delicious. The OG punch tastes like Christmas smells, I love it! They have some good whiskeys at the bar. We always start the grilled artichoke, the KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) and the BBB (Bacon, Bread,Butter) The wife usually gets a salmon salad. I usually get the specialty burger that's available. Usually $100-120 for 2 to eat.

Incredibly good food and extremely friendly and helpful staff.

Delicious food, although pretty expensive. We love the brunch but only went to dinner once. The small plate style is not cost effective when you and your date need to get 5 to 7 small plates to be full and they are sometimes 15 to 20 dollars each. The brunch is a much better experience with lots of unique twists on classic dishes. And they give you a lot of food at brunch! I can almost never finish my food because it is very rich and filling. The unique sodas are great as are the different desserts. The menu is always changing so it is never dull!

To be honest... it's all show. It's beautiful, portions tiny, variety slim... this is the third time I've been here, and each time feels like the quantity is less and less, and the service was strange. The waiter left while I was still mid-ordering.

Great concept and love the interior atmosphere. Can get a bit busy at times.

Service ranges from ok, to rude and condescending. You'll spend most of your time waiting for a waiter to give you the time of day. By the time your food gets there, anything tastes amazing. The patio seems to have strange rules that very from week to week, depending on who is working. Not worth the effort.

Recommendation: bring lots of friends and order everything on the menu. Seriously, it's all delicious!

Pricey and the portions are small.
The food are not special.

Great place! They also offer a wide range of dishes. The ones I have tried were all delicious. I would love to try their other dishes next time.

My go-to spot in Campbell for THE best dinner you can buy. Everything is small plates so you can order many dishes and get to try much of the menu in one sitting. Every time we return the menu has changed slightly. The chef is constantly adding new dishes for each season. Food is super fresh and you can taste the difference.

The drinks are also stellar! They have a very inventive cocktail menu all named after video games. I have not had a single drink I didn't love.

So happy to have OCK in our neighborhood! We return regularly and try to bring as many friends and family in as possible.

Special shout out to the KFC - Korean fried chicken dish... so, so, so GOOD!

Best meal we've had since the lock down. We got the mushroom dish, the artichoke dish, scallops, corn, and lamb riblet's. Everything was great, highly recommend this restaurant.

The food was good but honestly it feels a bit over rated and as though they're trying too hard. Their signature drinks are not very good. The Thriller in Manila was the worst drink I've ever had. Glad I didn't have to pay for it. It's the type of place people feel obligated to like.

Good atmosphere, food is good. Great for a date or client meeting. $$$ pricey, and a 4% cost of living fee is automatically added to your bill may make you reconsider eating here, considering the many food options in the Pruneyard center.

Awesome place to go with friends or date night with friends. American style tapas - everything was good. We had 6 people and ordered 10 items from the menu which was perfect. Cocktails are a little weird - super unique but too flavorful in my opinion.

Food is good but rather expensive and long wait in weekends

The food and milk punch were amazing. Definitely coming again.

I didn t like the food at all. I asked do not put some ingredients in my salad, but they did anyway. But the other ingredients that supposed to be there were just as decoration. Wouldn t come again. Definitely, not the best place to eat.

Great place for brunch, lunch, dinner AND happy hour. It's a great choice anytime! Really amazing comfort food and interesting names for drinks. If you're not impressed by the atmosphere, decor, and Heath ceramics plating, then you will at the least be impressed with their food! Truly recommend this place for any occasion.

Yummy food and great service. Get the BBB biscuit and bacon thing and the Korean fried chicken.

Asaprragus with brie cheese fondue sounds fancy but that's no fondue, fancy names to justify high prices... Portions and beers too small... plus they add a surcharge of 4% for their staff to make a living... Just be honest with your pricing (that are already high). Couldn't taste the cocktails... They looked really well prepared...

I went for my first time since this became Orchard City Kitchen. And I have to say I was really impressed. I had the pleasure of a great morning, weather wise, so we sat in their outdoor seating area. Our waiter was friendly and the tentative. The drinks were interesting and inventive. And I must say that the variety of food was a pleasing surprise. From their appetizers like their salmon toast and their poutine, to the Fantastic main dishes. I will definitely be going back again. And they had something for everyone. From the gluten-free to the alcohol-free. I was quite impressed

I'm relucant to write a good review of this place only because it's already too popular. :-) My only complaint is that it tends to be crowded and therefore uncomfortably loud. Otherwise, it's fantastic.Very creative coctails, friendly staff, unusual but delicious small bites. Everything is delicious and reasonably priced. One of our favorite places to bring guests from out of town. Highly recommended...just don't tell anyone. ;-)

Rank from Best to Good.

Country fried steak was bomb.

Kimchi ramen soup was next best. The cheese was surprisingly good.

The Triple B (bacon, biscuit, honey butter) was BOMB. Definitely get it to split.

The next two depends on your preference. Chilaquiles was good but I wish it had more sauce. The standard breakfast was great.

Overall everything was delicious. Can't complain. Also there was no wait! The restaurant is huge!! Don't worry about the line just go!

The food is just the right size. Food is tasty and always with a twist to keep it interesting to look at. Creative names for the food they serve. Good service. Price is just right. Interiors are great too. We always keep coming back. Plus they are located near the pruneyard cinema so convenient for us.

Adding a surcharge to pay your employees' health insurance is not cool. Are we supposed to not tip on that surcharge? That is also not cool. Just add your business costs into the menu prices like every other restaurant.

Very unique and delicious food. Great service and creative drink.

Great place for dinner or lunch. Good for dates or going out with friends. Not the best with kids though we have come here with kids a few times. Great food, small plates so you can try lots of different stuff. They have created a very nice modern ambiance that realty makes this restaurant an event as opposed to just grabbing a bite to eat.

Good food and service but bit pricey. Great dessert ....lunch menu selection is fair but overall pleasant experience. Felt safe

KFC was awesome but I fought with my parents that night so it was kinda sad

I love that every thing is made to share. I got taste a lot of different foods.

Creative and tasty Cocktails. Delicious food all in small plates so you can try a little of a lot . The overall design is very cozy for such a big space.
BATHROOM: I'm a stickler for restaurant bathrooms. This one has a beautiful surprise in the women's restroom.

Some of the food is tasty, but portions are so tiny you end up spending a mint before leaving. I get that food is meant to be shared, but how are you supposed to split three sushi sized pieces of fish or two tiny biscuits with a table?

Loveeee this place so much. The food is delicious. Michelin bib gourmand worth it. Love the BBB and the lobster burrito (from brunch). Will try the cocktails next time!

Went for brunch. Sweet bacon treated almost like Chinese BBQ meat jerky. Chicken burger was ok.

Incredibly delicious. Had the lobster dumplings, KFC, pork steak, and tuna poke. Can't go wrong with any of those choices.

Tapas style restaurant with Avant Garde delicious dishes. Recently they have received an special mention in Michelin guide. Very professional staff members and clean installations. A bit loud maybe the environment.

Absolutely amazing flavors and food. Wish I lived closer I would war there all the time.

Used to be good but not making an effort anymore. Prices too high for what you get.

Nice meal presentation. Good service. Tasty sandwiches.

This is a fun place to hang out and especially on the date night. They have a very unique menu. I love it. The beer selection is very good. I love really enjoy my best part beer. I love my creamy beer and this beer is so creamy and it tastes so good.

Love this place. Our server had a great sense of humor. Food is super eclectic and unique. Unique drink menu. Loved that most of the dishes were smaller portions so you could order a bunch of stuff to try and then share. The KFC was my favorite!

We absolutely loved the lost in translation cocktail. It had japanese whisky, pandan, yuzu, okinawa kokuto, italicus, cardamaro, madeira, amabito no moshio. It has a very complex tone and sweet after pandas taste. A must try. We also recommend the fried rice, lamb ribs, and korean chicken. It doesn't seem like fried rice would be special but it was really delicious here.

The staff at Orchard City Kitchen are very accommodating and friendly. The food is excellent. My only complaint is to many restaurants these days try to creat atmosphere and excitement by blasting music. Now I m a musician and have experienced louder settings, but I really don t feel like hearing the F, N & B word every other song while celebrating my anniversary! I can only imagine others might feel the same. Other then that, excellent dinning.

Super duper good! And really good service too! They have outdoor seating with heat lamps during the pandemic. They provide you with a physical menu to look over, however, you will place your order and pay for it through your phone. There's a bar code you scan that takes you to the menu and allows you to order. Every employee is wearing a mask as well, checking temperature and hand sanitizers are offered!

Bacon slab was awesome.
Montague burger is a must!
Regular ice tea was perfect!
Mac and cheese one of a kind.

It sucks that I don't have any pictures to post for you but one of the best places in Campbell in my opinion!! Probably the best place in Pruneyard hands down.

It is truly the kitchen. And by the kitchen I mean the kitchen in your house or what you wanted to be but all your friends can come have something to eat have a great drink enjoy themselves chit-chat whatever it may be. Excellent staff very attentive excellent bar very well-stocked and a fantastic menu of finger foods all the way up two entrees.

One of the most decadent things on this menu is there honey bacon with butter and cornbread it's fat fat fat dripping with more fat topped with sugar!! It's decadent and is damn good.

There are no really bad seats in the House there are excellent seats and are better seats wherever you feel comfortable outside or inside their got the spot for you.

Interesting ambiance and decor. They were between shifts so I didn't get to try any food, only drinks. Fun cocktails

Awesome eatery offering an original menu. I don't expect low prices here, but the portions could be larger. Parking in Pruneyard can be a headache during lunch or dinner time.

A fusion restaurant of Japanese, Korean and American popular with locals (it seems that the owner was from Hawaii). So, in addition to Tajima beef, hamachi and tempura, the menu also includes dishes using kotchujang and kimchi. KFC is an abbreviation for Korean Fried Chicken, which is a Korean-style pride chicken familiar in Korea. Everything was delicious, including meat dishes, but I especially liked cauliflower dishes and BBB. BBB is an abbreviation for biscuit, bacon and honey butter, which is a very American dish. Cut the biscuit bread in half, apply plenty of honey butter, and sandwich the bacon for eating. This is so delicious It is recommended.
The store is quite large, but it was almost full during peak hours. If you go a little early, it will be vacant and there will be happy hours.

The food is a bit too spi6 and the portions are small compared to the price

The food and drinks are amazing. Service is great too

I'm glad we took advice of google reviews, service was excellent. Drinks were good just a little watered down. But food was excellent and service was great so I still give it 4 stars. Walking distance from our hotel made this restaurant very convenient!! When we return to San Francisco we will make sure to return again.

If this is supposed to be a "chef" class place, the lunch menu didn't reflect that. The kale salad was fine, but I didn't see enough tapas / small plates options to make things interesting. Kind of a meh experience.

This place is pricey but good for a date night out! Every dish was really really good! Try the KFC chicken and the bread plate!

One of my go to places. Great small bites - perfect for 2-4 people. Triple B and KFC are musts.

Everything was amazing! If it's an option, definitely get the butterscotch pudding for dessert. I'm still daydreaming about it!

I ve only come to have drinks and desserts a couple of time, never been disappointed! Service not the best, but atmosphere and cocktail list make up for it.

Amazing food and service! Truly a Michelin guide restaurant.

Parking is relatively easy and easy to find. Food is ok

Their food is super different. The tater tot poutine is my favorite.

Food and drinks were excellent, but snotty waitress.

Orchard City Kitchen - I don't know who manages this place but kudos to that guy or gal! It's poppin' every given night of the week, can serve 100+ patrons at once, two main dining rooms, has additional outdoor seating, and a full-on bar. In fact I want to give kudos to everyone who works there - and I'll "order beer for the kitchen" next time, just like the menu suggests.

Our table experienced great and attentive service, and the food came out quickly and looked/tasted delightful. Highlights that night:

BRUSSELS SPROUTS: dried cranberries chestnut cara cara parmesan toast
verjus vinaigrette ($12)





Great vibe and great food - what's not to love.

Inventive Drinks with some Great Food

Orchard City Kitchen, is an experience when it comes to dinning. It isn't so much about the flavor parings as it is about joining with a group of friends to share $12-$20 tapas and sip stiff drinks. At the end of the night, you'll have gone through layers of the menu feeling satisfied with some highlights, but a lot of "I was expecting more" feelings.

The drinks are strong, yet come in interesting vessels, there is a love of unique flavors, that will make most people either fall in love with the boldness or find their meal sidetracked by the oddity of the drink.

The individual plates range from the unique shaved raw brussels sprouts with a vinaigrette just the right crunch of croutons, to a tender octopus overpowered by liquid smoke. There's high notes where flavors are dealt with a subtle hand, letting the customer wonder if the chef really is this brilliant, or if they just stumbled upon what makes people love food. Then, there's the low notes where your mouth is blown out by the fishiest of shrimp ever put on a plate.

There's moments of brilliance where their signature Biscuits Bacon honey Butter makes you stop and forget that you're not supposed to eat gluten anymore. You find yourself wishing there was more bacon, more butter, more biscuits, and more time to relish the perfect pairing.

Then there's moments where you look at the tiny cold duck breast with bland lentils making you wonder if the chef decided to take a smoke break.

Overall, this is a fun place to go and spend $100.00 on a couple of drinks and a few plates. It isn't somewhere you'll rave to everyone you've ever met about the succulent morsels you've put in your mouth, but you won't be overly disappointed either. If you have two drinks you'll probably find the entire night enchanting and fantastic, you'll also need an uber home.

This is a solid 3 stars, maybe a 4th if they toned down the overpowering love of smoke flavor.
