Living Kitchen

First time! Excellent food and a great variety of raw food items!

I’m not one to leave reviews, but as a RAW Vegan, it is trouble trying to find restaurants to accommodate my standards. Living kitchen literally amazed it me today with the flavor in the raw food. I was surprised to see so many raw options. I really enjoyed my plate today and would recommend to anyone who is raw or who is vegan or even who isn’t vegan this place is a gem! It the atmosphere is suchhhh a vibe. 10/10

Me and my friend was there by 3:32. The sign said that it closed at 4. Another lady was standing with us that said she had a to go order. All doors were locked and they refused to even acknowledge us. Very rude. It’s my first time at this establishment and I won’t be back. They could have least turned the closed sign or acknowledge us.

Food is good, but it is like small plates. The day went, service was extremely poor.

We were visiting family in Charlotte, NC, and fortunately my husband found Luna’s Living Kitchen. I am gluten and dairy intolerant and was delighted to find I could have just about everything on the menu. We were happy to be seated with no wait. Our server was very knowledgeable, personable, and attentive. Ended up ordering food to take home with us. Highly recommended.

I'm not vegan, but our kid is pescatarian. The service was a bit slow in that our waiter didn't make it over to take our order until several minutes in. We would have liked to put in a drink order while perusing the menu, but never got the chance. The food, however, was delicious. I got the carrot hummus salad with a "burger" on top. The kale was seasoned perfectly, just a splash of flavor. The actual carrot hummus was really tasty as well, I'd never had such hummus before. The "burger" part was pretty good, with a strong flavor of cumin over anything else. I prefer "Impossible" burgers to these, but this was still yummy. The rest of the family got nachos, a burger, a waffle, masala, and lentil soup. Everyone raved about their choices, although most said the waffle was too dense. The general consensus was that the masala was the winner, although I don't share my food with anyone and I don't try anyone else's. I got my salad, loved my salad, and ate my salad while the 4 others at our table shared food and tastes like normal civilized humans.

Absolutely delicious vegan food! So thankful for restaurants like this popping up in America. We had the waffles and coffee and it was so so good. Quality food and great service. Highly recommend!

On 12/29/23, my visit to Living Kitchen was marred by a series of troubling incidents. At 7:57 pm AND 8:01 pm, "Jay,” which we later found out was a fake name given by the woman we spoke to, hung up on us while we sought clarification on allergen details for our order. We politely asked for allergen details - as my pregnant wife has severe allergies - to which “Jay” proceeded to dismissively and rudely brush us off, ignore us, and hang up on us (we politely called back a second time because we thought we got disconnected, but were hung up on AGAIN). When we called back a THIRD time, someone else picked up and took our order. As patrons, we have never been treated so poorly in our entire lives - and cannot help but think this was race related, as we have never been so blatantly ignored and dismissed. To exacerbate matters, when we arrived at 8:45 pm, 15 minutes before the supposed closing time, the restaurant was closed. The “manager,” who met us at the locked door, showed zero empathy or care when we explained the unsettling experience. It seems that everyone was ready to clock out early and leave. The racism, and lack of professionalism, paint a concerning picture of Living Kitchen. It's disheartening to report such an experience, as we use to love coming here. Spend your money elsewhere.
