Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

I cannot say enough good things about Concept Kitchen. This was genuinely the best salmon I’ve ever eaten. Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Our party includes people who are gluten free, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was safe and clearly explained. The chef even came out to talk with us personally, and let us know they can accommodate gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, and pretty much any dietary restriction. The entire staff was wonderful! Attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. It’s rare to find a place that delivers both incredible food and such thoughtful care for guests’ needs. Five stars all the way!

Just had the best burger I’ve ever eaten. A Thai-style burger that isn’t on the menu. Wasn’t rare (my preference), and it had crunchy carrots (I detest crunchy vegetables) on it. 😳 Still easily the best burger I’ve ever eaten. Also had cold noodle salad with papaya, mango, and pineapple. I don’t typically eat any of those fruits…and it was amazing. Absolutely delicious. $19. If I could give this place 6 stars, I would.

I had the pleasure of enjoying the chef's tasting menu at Concept Kitching inside of Second State Brewing. Every course wowed us with refined flavors and intentional plating. Chef Goodman and his team did a spectacular job bringing fresh and exciting flavors to the late February table. - The Kimchi Salad appeared simple at first glance but upon tasting the greens there was a deep and savory mild heat that assured me these four courses were going to be fun and memorable. - Next was a Banh Mi Slider that continued the theme of bold yet approachable flavors. Slightly spicy yuzu chile aioli, crispy traditional pickles, and a well seasoned properly cooked patty on a toasted brioche bun. - The Hokkaido Seafood Ramen featured shrimp, calamari and briefly seared scallops with scallions, cilantro and noodles. The seafood was expertly prepared and the broth emulsified with kimchi butter was the perfect accompaniment. Obvious thought and care goes into the menu planning while the team is creative in their approach to using seasonal produce and presenting flavors that are interesting yet familiar.
