I thought this place was okay. Nothing too spectacular. We went when they first opened and tables were still dirty and service was okay. I expected more flavor but it didn't hit for me.

Ordered take out, nothing we ordered was in stock... Waited the 15 mins, drove to the store to pick it up. That's when we were told that our order had been cancelled. No phone call, nothing. We had been at Habit Burger across the street for 10 mins before we got any sort of email from KoJa that our order had been cancelled and refunded. We are waiting to see if the refund actually goes through.Don't waste your time. They had a huge list of stuff they were out of when I approached the counter to pick up our cancelled order, so chances are, you'll have to make a quick alternative plan as well.

My recent experience at Koja Kitchen was quite disappointing. The overall service was terrible. It seemed like they were severely understaffed, with one employee, Christina, handling the entire place. She appeared overworked and had a poor attitude. We waited for about 10 minutes without anyone saying anything, and when we finally questioned if there was someone available to help, we were met with disrespect. To make matters worse, the food was subpar at best. It was not the pleasant dining experience we were hoping for.

The food was lowkey horrible like really bad tbh. Didn’t finish it, under seasoned and waaaay too much mayo. Plus they were playing a really annoying Christmas movie really loud. I was the only person there lmao. The cashier was on her phone while ringing me up.

Crispy chicken is a must! The flavors are so good (sweet and spicy). I will always coming here when I am in the area!

They asked me if I wanted to get my food for dine on or take out when ordering. We said we were dining in, but when the food was ready it was still served in takeout boxes. Kinda wanted my food on a plate but I guess someone really didn't want to wash dishes?

Food was tasty. No complaints there. Seems pretty quiet and the best thing to eat is the original koja and some umami fries! Delicious. Only downside is that they have a small bathroom that is shared with another restaurant.

Food is great but service sucks. Cashier could barely look up from the show she was watching on her phone to take our order.

I like Koja Kitchens, I've been to several locations around the Bay Area. There used to be one in Walnut Creek but that one recently closed down.I enjoy eating their koja's, which are burgers made with patties of rice which are fried. I usually eat the short rib or pork koja's.I also love fries or most items in potato form, their fries (waffle cut fries) with different meats are flavorful but you'll want to eat them with a fork.At this Koja Kitchen, which is in the Alameda Landing Shopping Area, their staff are pretty efficient with taking and turning around orders even around lunch time.They have some seating but there's also spaces to eat outside in the shopping center.

I ordered a chicken bowl. It looked nice with the colors. However, the food came out only room temperature. Chicken was tasteless except a bunch of spiciness. Even the rice was cooked wrong: too much water but undercooked. Overall I was disappointed. This would be the last time I went there.

Don’t order the Koja short rib .I went here on June 9th and ordered The Original Koja. (Short-rib sandwich) The place itself looks a bit run down and unclean. The food came out hot and genuinely thought it tasted good.However, 4 hours after eating I’m 99% sure I had food poisoning. I ate leftovers I made for lunch and had nothing else to eat unusual until eating here. My brother and his wife ate here too but they ordered other things snd did not get sick.Would not go back.

The biggest issue was the food poising I got from the short rib burger. But even without that, the food was not very good. Store was out of a lot and seemed to be falling apart. Best thing was the waffle fries. Never again
