Lucuma Kitchen and Bar

Absolutely love this gem. First walking in we were in love with decor. The style is warm, modern, and just stunning. The food was incredible! We had a few apps (sorry can't remember the names) potatos, wontons and for mains empanatas, short ribs and paella. For dessert we had the passion fruit meringue, amazing! Every dish was beautifully plated and tasted even better! Definitely going back.

Excellent meal! Fun decor, the food was beautifully plated and delish. We had the Cremoso ceviche, coliflor, anticuchos, and salmon. All were great, but the salmon was the least memorable of the four. I was most surprised by the anticuchos, they were delicious and the pave potato it’s served on is incredible.

Lucuma Kitchen is a Keeper! Open only 6 months, and it is very hard to get into this hot place in Oakland! We slipped in for Happy Hour on a Friday, and we're very pleasantly surprised. A warm welcome, nice seating, and delicious tapas with tasty drinks...what more can you ask for? We ordered ceviché classic, ceviché verde, yucca fries, plantain chips, and pork sandwich. Ceviché classic was okay, but we really liked the ceviché verde. And the fried plantains. And the yucca fries. And... you get the idea. Our server, Vanda, was fabulous! Attentive, yet not obtrusive. When she went on a food delivery, the other staff seamlessly stepped in and supported her. A very pleasant experience. Make reservations in advance, as walk-in seating is nigh impossible to get. And enjoy!

I finally made it to Lucuma and OMG ! What an experience ! I never write reviews but I feel like it’s the right thing to do for this amazing place . Since the moment you walk in, you feel the Ambiance , the decor is beautiful and the vibe is there , a packed restaurant with nice music playing and everyone having a good time . We tried many options from the crudo menu, cebiche cremoso and tiraditos followed by the two unique causas ( acevichada & octopus sweet potato ) and then we got the asado de mamita , empanadas and the Bistec a lo pobre and Arroz norteño . The food was absolutely delicious and the presentation is top notch. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a restaurant that has impressed me like this . The costumer service is exceptional , the waiter was so attentive and nice ! You can clearly see all the workers enjoying their time and with a big smile . The gracious hostess comes to check on you and makes sure you’re having a great time . Lucuma has become my favorite Peruvian restaurant in the Bay Area now .

We had an amazing time trying many creative and quality cocktails, and the food is absolutely fantastic. The extensive ceviche and small plates menu was a highlight for us. We tried ceviche clásico and camarón, the short ribs and lamb lollipops, and the ribeye and chicken, and everything was so flavorful and perfect. Bartenders and other staff were friendly and helpful. Felipe was amazing as our bartender. Will return next time in town!
