Another 24 hours joint has opened in the Hollywood, Kitchen 24 is the complete opposite of Pantry Cafe. Its attention to design and slickness might put off some people.
The menu was a heavy lamented ring-binder book that’s quite heavy to hold. Despite the weighty menu, many items were cross out with tapes. The center island sells cupcakes, jellybeans and other American sweets. I love the walnut wood tables, white sofa and pink highlights.
K24 Burger $9.95. The burger was served on a toasted brioche roll, nice! It’s juicy and yummy, nothing to complain.
The LA hipster diner stable: Sweet Potato Fries, delicious! From another lunch: Smac And Cheese 8.95: elbow macaroni and a three cheese blend of cheddar, mascarpone and smoked gruyère. It’s surprisingly not heavy, the sauce was runny but still cheesy and flavorful.
K24 Tuna Burger: chopped ahi tuna patty served on a sesame bun with pickled ginger, wasabi mayo, sliced tomatoes, romaine and onions. The fusion flavors worked surprisingly well, it tasted less predictable than your regular burger, the wasabi mayo was tasty and the Japanese pink pickled ginger actually worked in a burger. I love it!
Mixed Green Salad $6.95: tomatoes, cucumbers, marinated yellow beets, challah bread croutons, candied walnuts, goat cheese and a honey red wine vinaigrette. The ingredients weren’t run-of-the-mill. It’s delicious and relatively cheap. Even the bread croutons felt freshly made and light. I think I’ve found that cheap work day salad lunch that I could “abuse” multiple times a week.
There’s also a bar at the back. This place seems like a good addition for people who’re looking for breakfast or burger 2 AM that’s not 101, Fred 62, etc.. The location is great for Arclight Cinema go-ers. It’s also a good new lunch spot for those of us who worked nearby.

The colour of the tuna patty isn’t so tempting though. Smac And Cheese looks so good. I like the steel thing holding the chips. The price is quite reasonable(the burger looks big).
the sesame bun actually has so much sesame! looks good
The tuna patty might not look appealing but once cut inside it’s raw and red, very nice. 😀
We ended our night of drinking at K24. I had the Fish and Chips. The best! Great food, vibe, and hot DJ spinning.
