“Fantastic food, generous servings, great prices, friendly service. What more could you ask for?”

“I love getting my fresh squeezed orange juice here. It’s not tart like it can be at Whole Foods. You can really taste the difference in quality. It’s become my go-to spot. 🍊”

“What an incredible hidden gem! We were craving Italian food and decided to check out Al Italiano. Walked in on a Tuesday night a little before closing. Eddie and the owner Robert greeted us warmly. The menu has some great options and we were indecisive what to order. Our waiter Eddie is a first class professional and answered all our questions with patience and in details. His recommendations were amazing. We ordered Eggplant Parmesan, Veal Piccata, Children’s cheese pizza, Salumiere pizza and their homemade Tiramisu. Everything was excellent and so tasty. The whole experience at Al Italiano was outstanding and unforgettable. Robert is a great business owner who actually cares and treats you like family. His whole staff is very respectful and helpful. The ambiance is very Italian and welcoming. We found a true gem! Thank you Robert, Eddie and staff! We will be back soon!”

“Excellent customer service . Food is delicious , all waitress are very attentive. Recommend”

“This cloud kitchen is run by a mom-and-son duo and their food slaps. My favorite is the chicken frankie - It's such a yummy lunch or quick dinner. I like the sauce and the veggies in it which add a nice little crunch. My boyfriend thinks they have the best samosas he's had, simple yet full of flavor. Their kabobs are delicious too. All of the food we've had there so far is really fresh and tasty. We can't wait to try more. So glad we have this awesome little spot in the neighborhood!”

“Awesome !!!!”

“Food was delicious I ordered three burritos a torta and total was 72 bux crazy right but what’s crazy is this economy anyway service was shit the lady was not friendly and def not in the mood to smile lol anyway hope this helps someone def would not come back though or will I 🤭”

“La atencion la comida , el deporte todo muy bueno”

“Best food to enjoy with your love ones .. I recommend this place 100% and it’s not expensive for the portions you get in your order! Thanks Dogs Haus! 🍔 🍟”

“Good service super clean friendly staff”

“Great food, awesome customer service,so many options”

“Been coming here after work for a couple months now. Asked the bartender to suprise me, after telling her what I like to drink, I got served with a Kaskade or however you spell that drink LOL. Pretty good drink honestly. Everytime I come here though it's nothing but good vibes all around. The place itself, you can feel it's chill. Highly recommend coming here if you been having a stressful day. Even for just a beer or two, really great spot. Plus great vibes ALWAYS from the bartenders, the ones i've got the chance to meet at least.

*Shoutout to the girl bartenders that my bestfriend and I always have the opportunity of seeing.*”

“Great waters and friendly staff :)”

“Sarap lahat ng pagkain at mura lang😉😋”

“All the dishes are fantastic”

“Good colt cut sub. The inside was very spacious, only problem I had was it was a little warm inside didn’t necessarily make me want to sit down and enjoy my sandwich there but the sandwich was good. Good value I paid 15 bucks for a mineral water bag of chips and a large sub. I thought it was a great deal and the food was decent.”

“muy buen pollo los recomiendo”

“I love Mini Kabob, especially the original location! I really dislike the Topanga Social and ordering through a tablet, but that isn’t their fault. Everything on my plate was a 10/10”

“The service was exceptional, and the food was fresh, perfectly prepared, beautifully plated, and delicious. The prices were surprisingly good, and I highly recommend this establishment.”

“Great spot anytime but I love going for breakfast. Great food and great service!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”

“The restaurant has a great buffet. The service is excellent also. A clean place. Will return.”

“first time at Shake Shack I had the fried mushroom (vegetarian) burger stuffed with cheese. loved it . will order again. fries crispy. staff friendly. my boyfriend loved the cheese burger.”

“$8 combo with decent sized portion--chow mein, fried rice and a meat! Can't beat that! No frills restaurants. They don't soak their rice in oil like many Chinese restaurants. Good orange chicken, also saw they have jalapeño chicken and fried banana.

Parking might be tough in this neighborhood but it's free.

They take cash and card”

“I used to come here years ago. I worked basically a few doors down at the Dispensary. I haven’t been around in years but I was over in the area and I stopped by. The stand out here is the Spicy Orange Chicken!!! It was perfectly fried and the jalapeños were the perfect complement. The noodles had a great chew to them and my two other sides had a lot of flavor. I went with teriyaki chicken and mushroom chicken.
There are chili oils on the counter and sriracha to take to your table. This is one of the hole in the wall places that I love.”

“Excellent service, great menu options, very kind staff to accomodate the Halal menu items when it comes to visiting this underrated jewel of Canoga Park/Woodland Hills, San Fernando Valley, L.A. & California entirely.

Keep up the exceptional service bringing memories for me, my family, & friends who always have the honor to visit this wonderful establishment.”

“Grate service an awesome pizza...I been eating pizza here for 29 years.. I'm about to call an order in”

“The Chicken Parmesan is Amazing”

“A quick place for team lunch. Portion size was good. Service could have been more prompt as I had to ask for the server to take our order, refill, take out box.

Besides that food was good…will be back soon.”

“No dine in so I won’t review service and atmosphere. Crab Rangoon was good. Orange chicken was fairly good but some pieces had more orange flavor than others. Black pepper beef had lots of vegetables and would have preferred more beef, flavor was good but could have been more peppery. Xo sauce string beans didn’t have much flavor, but I tasted the sauce in the bottom of the container and it was good so maybe the beans need to marinate more. I’ll try it again tomorrow and see if it tastes better. So, all in all, I’d say the food is kind of average.”

“Been eating here for many years. The menu has changed but everything is still good. My mom and I shared the spinach and artichoke dip- it was delicious and much bigger than expected. I got the French dip sandwich which was good and came with cheese on it and a side salad (or fries).My mom got the cilantro lime salad which is her favorite. The dressing is really tangy and good. Their cilantro lime tacos and French onion soup are also delicious! Everything I’ve had here has been good.”

“The best selection of perfumes. In love with House of Bō.”

“Awesome service!Very delicious food…definitely going back in this restaurant…never been dissapointed..happy customer here😊😊😊 I highly recommend this place!😊😘”

“looks like the store is gone, tried to order takeout but closed today tuesday 5/24. i hjope they are still open. great food”

“This is a great place to get a boba tea and a quick bite to eat. I'll definitely be back to check out more! Nice friendly staff. Check it out!”

“Muy rica la comida y buen servicio al cliente 👌🏻”

“Yummy breakfast burritos on the go this morning!”

“Hidden deep in the urban hustle and bustle section of the Sherman way Corridor rests one of the last great burger chains left in the state. It is proof that Los Angeles has always been the greatest at serving one of the most sought after comfort foods in existence, the hamburger. It’s as recognizable to young and old alike. Whether it’s a long day at work, a quick place to feed the kids or just a place to sit down and eat while you forget about life’s cruel challenges for 30 minutes the Canoga Park Carl’s Jr always hits the spot. Yes it’s old, yes other chains are closing by the day and yes it will attract all walks of life due to the delicious super affordable food and the legally mandated restroom that all food establishments should have in California. That isn’t the point though. The point is the food, as tasty as it is, is served by some of the sweetest, kindest and most pleasant people in the fast food industry. It is served by “Gilda” and “Ana”. Two young women that not only make the dining experience better, they make it a pleasure. The food is served with Love. When I walk in and see GILDA and ANA I know that the food will be excellent, prepared well and served quick. Stop in, eat and watch things you can’t see on TV or if you’re in a rush drive through. Either way…. check it out……”

“They did what i asked but misunderstood me concerning purchase for use the restroom and still kept a smile.”

“Bien. ...”

“Good food and the best the best the best.”

“If you love sushi, GO HERE. If you like fancy rooms and big windows? Maybe not. Go’s Mart is a hole-in-the-wall masterpiece. The place is unpretentious orange walls, simple bar seating but Chef Go shows off with whiteboard daily catches, rare fish, and “did you just say gold leaf?” moments. It’s not casual eating. It’s an experience. The price tag made me pause, but each bite justifies it. Friendly service, no fluff, just sushi done really well.”

“We needed a place to eat dinner late on Friday night and found Henri's. They were closing in 15 minutes but gladly allowed us to sit and order. We didn't want to make it hard for them so we just ordered breakfast for dinner and it was delicious! We are picky in our bacon and hashbrowns and want them cooked very crispy. They were the best we ever had! The next day we came back for breakfast for real and pretty much ordered the same thing. Unfortunately it must have been a different cook. Although it was good and plentiful it was not cooked as nicely as the night before. Definitely NOT a deal breaker cause Henri's is really very good and the staff is exceptionall - both visits. We could tell it is a local favorite and that is always a good sign.”

“The lamb gyros are the best things ever. 😊”

“Soups are amazing been coming here for years❤️”

“Very good buritto, server and the crew are very kind. 5/5 ❤️❤️❤️”

“This is a good place to bring a larger group or have an intimate meal with just two or four people. The staff is very accommodating for larger groups. The sushi is good.”

“It was our first visit to this location but definitely not our last!�”

“Excellent food here. I had the bahn mi with grilled chicken. It was very delicious. Cost $11 which I think is reasonably priced. The staff is friendly. I also had a Thai tea boba which was ok but it tasted different from what I’m used to and would try a different flavor next time. The bathrooms were clean. I like that they have hand sanitizer at every table.”

“Excellent food nice service”

“5 STARS SUPER DELICIOUS EVERY TIME”

“A great new find close to home”

“you get to try 4 sansrival flavors and every flavor tasted great!😋😋😋”

“My Pork belly, eggs, salad bowl was amazing. Everything was delicious and filling. Beautiful presentation. Love it. 🥰”

“Craving Mexican food and found a gem!
Stopped by The Big Burrito and ordered the asada burrito — the meat was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. For the price, it’s honestly a steal.

They also had homemade chiles en vinagre that were delicious and full of tangy heat. Plus, they offer both red and green salsa — if you like spice, go for the red! 🔥

Great food, solid value, and bold flavors. I’ll definitely be coming back.
5 stars! 🌯🌟”

“I ordered *Chicken Broccoli & Combination Fried Rice*. it was sooo good. The flavor and, heat were perfect😁😉👌The person @ the register greeted me w/a smile😁She offered me water after taking my order, telling me my order would be ready in 10 minutes. I passed on the water and, waited 4 my order in my car. When the order was ready, I tipped the person who took my order and, she invited me 2 return 😁I recommend *Thai Blvd Bistro* 2 anyone who wants fresh cooked food. It definitely met my expectations and, my craving was filled 😉👌😁”

“Tasty goodies and breads nobody would ever suspect as being gluten free. Place is perfect!”

“The deliciousness NEVER dissapoints! The green juice and green bars are always our go to's but we were so happy a few weeks ago that we could once again get guarana juice too and today having brought home a rosemary and olive foccacia WOW that will also now be part of our weekly grab from The Beaches Farmers Market! Mouth watering...I've had 2nd and 3rd helpings. Love your offerings!”

“Located in the Westfield Topanga mall, they served an excellent pork katsu sando. Extremely large pork katsu that extended beyond both ends of the bread. Crunchy outside and tender inside. Somewhat sterile decor and minimal customer interaction.”

“Excellent variety of brews ON TAP , felt like a local. Definitely worth the visit being a first timer. The food is made like your mom would make with tender love and care”

“NOW OPEN!!!!!!!! Stop by and have a cold One!!!!!!”

“Ice cream is light and fluffy, but still decadent. I got the cookie dough. Folks behind the counter are very nice.

They had some unique flavors so looking forward to trying them again someday.”

“Moved away from the neighborhood 4 years ago, came back to visit. I'm overjoyed that El Pollo Amigo has remained unchanged. The chicken, rhe SALSA! I've missed you, my friends!

PSA: get an extra Large salsa to accompany any order.”

“best GF dishes anywhere!!”

“Relaxed, friendly, cheap and UNBELIEVABLY DELICIOUS. I had one of the best burritos of my life here. Would recommend getting the cactus in your meal, it really added to it.”

“Hell yaa super fun secret spot!! Personality is there! And cool local crowd!”

“Everything is super delicious! The combos are so worth it than rather just getting a slice of pizza! Fresh from the oven, the salads, the pasta are super good and the bread is to die for! Best pizza and so many different ingredients! Make sure you go early cuz they stop cooking like almost an hour before they have to close 🤗😋 Great service !! Just love it! I visit whenever I'm in town !!! Enjoy !!!”

“Awesome service and the food is amazing 😻”

“Me and my wife, we stopped by to grab a bite we were surprised by the food that they offer my wife order a plate of bistec con papas it came with salad, rice and beans and tortillas this is not your regular Carne Asada tacos or AlPastore taco truck don’t get me wrong. There’s nothing wrong with those type of Tacos. but these tacos. we’re different. I got myself two tacos of Chicharron. In salsa Verde. And two tacos of Costilla con nopales they were so delicious that I had to post a review to tacos Desoto 5⭐️ real good Mexican food you guys come out and check them out….”

“Muy rica comida excelente servicio, muy amables todos 🥰”

“Friendly service... good for everyone’s and good taste drink. Love boba time drinks”

“Had been craving for their Vampiro & Mulitas. They weren't here a few days ago, I was like: Noooooo!!! Where were they???Today, I saw their truck and I was like: YESSSSS!!! So after picking up my groceries I ordered 2 of each Vampiros & Mulitas. Came home and I gulped them down very quickly! Yup!! Everything!! I'm a happy camper now!! LolUnfortunately I forgot which dish was vampiro & which was Mulitas! ???While I was there, there were a few people waiting, and more people showed up after I ordered mine.I'm happy for them, their business seemed like going well!Recommended for others to try their food!

Kid-friendliness: Relatively kid friendly food they can hold in their hands and enjoy ?

Parking: Plenty of free parking it shares with Ralph's

Wheelchair accessibility: It's on a parking lot. Easy access for customers with wheelchairs.”

“I was introduced to Mami Que Rico by a friend. I had the garlic chicken w black beans and rice , it very delicious. My friend bought the ropa Vieja and she also thinks it’s very good, NOT greasy , if you know Cuban food it can be . Anessa has a warm feeling and it shows that she cooks with love !!! I will be catering from her soon .”

“Very neat and clean with lot of Thai dishes, nice food not much expensive”

“Great food and friendly staff! The pizza is always fresh and delicious, and I love their wide variety of snacks. Perfect spot for a quick bite or to grab some essentials!”

“My daughter ,wife and sister in law love the mangoneada! My son and I love the pineapple paleta! The best thing about it is that they use real fruit in the ice cream! unlike other similar ice cream shops that use artificial color and or flavors(thrifty) . I live in rosamond but it's worth the drive to Lancaster YAMiS ! thanks for the great service:)”

“We hired LA's Crepes as a vendor for our wedding in September 2022 and they were AMAZING! They had the most delicious crepes l've ever had and I loved the variety of their menu for our event. They were the perfect surprise and treat for our guests; everyone couldn't stop talking about them after our wedding! I would definitely hire them again and recommend anyone who is looking for a way to elevate your event with some delicious food to hire them. They were on time, friendly, and very easy to work with - they even made a custom powdered sugar design to top the crepes for us!”

“I like the mini-bons; got a box of them. Half regular, half with pecans. They are perfect for portioning. The server gave extra icing and that was cool.”

“Stopped here on a whim last week and so glad I did. It’s probably the healthiest place on that strip compared to the other hole-in-the-walls I noticed. The tacos are healthy and delicious. It’s not the cheapest place but that’s what you get when you want healthy.I wish I had one of these near Van Nuys.Highly recommended! ????”

“They're yellow curry shrimp was the bomb”

“Nothing beats the Original Tommy’s”

“muy buen lugar riquisima comida”

“Better choice then most fast food. Fairly good portions but you got to grab and go. While you can sit and eat there, I recommend you make it a quick lunch kind of thing.”

“a great, hearty food fit for a khan ;)”

“The shakes are not only beautifully made they’re also very delicious 😋”

“Great Delicious Shrimp Cocktail fast and very friendly service .... Enough options/menu to satisfy your seafood cravings... Perfect for a middle day/afternoon Seafood Fest and those Tacos (uff) are to die for.... Some of the Best...... Delicious!!!”

“I always loved this restaurant. especially lunch for breakfast. I am here cause my grandmother told me about how in the 90's. The owners and employees were part of my life. My disabled mother and disabled brother made life hard, but these folks stepped in to help a stranger. You took me shopping cause my mom was missing, you made my brother and I dinner at our home. You would often help by being there for my brother when I couldn't be to get him off the bus? Like WOW, I don't know who you 3 or 4 special people are because I was young. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !! my brother passed away recently and my favorite people came out of those baby blue apartments right next door to you. This was from 90-92. I hope Great thing for you and your families.”

“Great bar, run by a terrific barmaid. She knows how to make a drink. Good atmosphere, and a good place to hang out.”

“looks like the store is gone, tried to order takeout but closed today tuesday 5/24. i hjope they are still open. great food”

“The rare cases when a new owner does It better the old the old saying a new broom sweeps clean fits this place. food is great they're very kind and we're going to come back to our new Indian place good job guys”

“This pizza is 5 star amazing!!!! The sauce is full of flavor with outrageous blend of spices and thick. The cheese, sauce and meat are of the highest quality. I prefer Chicago Style. I had the Detroit and it was too crunchy. The Chicago is out of this world good. I just had it Friday and am going to order it again tonight Sunday. One piece is enough to fill you up. I e tried a lot of pizzas in my 52 years from all over LA to New York and this is my most favorite by far. They are very generous also if a little late with your piizza. Truly class acts and old school business style. Such an awesome find. You won’t be disappointed I promise!!!!!!”

“The best pizza chef of Australia and Peru ??? and the pizzas are amazingg”

“Music can be a little loud but the atmosphere is great. The customer service is top notch and friendly. It's clean with a fun vibe. Would like more vegan options”

“Excellent food nice service”

“Terrible service every time I go. Either the restrooms are out of order or there's no ice, so I have to drive to the next restaurant. I hope they can make changes at that restaurant soon. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡”

“Excellent customer service . Food is delicious , all waitress are very attentive. Recommend”

“Best food to enjoy with your love ones .. I recommend this place 100% and it’s not expensive for the portions you get in your order! Thanks Dogs Haus! 🍔 🍟”

“first time at Shake Shack I had the fried mushroom (vegetarian) burger stuffed with cheese. loved it . will order again. fries crispy. staff friendly. my boyfriend loved the cheese burger.”

“Very satisfying for my first time visiting 😊....I'm fairly new to the area still and really enjoyed the Pho (beef combo) and Spring Rolls (grilled pork).”

“The food is great for the area. You can tell the owners have a lot of pride in their restaurant. Everything is served so hot.

They are so friendly and make an effort to leave their guests with a nice experience.

We got the galbi combo with spicy tofu soup. It was lovely.”

“The pizza itself is great.... I JUST DIDN'T LIKE THAT THEY ADD TOOOOOOP MUCH OF ONE TOPING. like I get it I know; too some it's great that a lot is better but sometimes less or just enough would be better. I couldn't finish 1 slice I ordered pepperoni and bacon.. it had waaaaaaaaaaaay aaaay aaaay too much bacon for my preference. However the staff is super sweet and welcoming. From the call to pick up. These kids working here are all awesome! And I love that!”

“I've been a loyal supporter for many years and my God their dirty horchata is so good and yummy. Jesse has grown her business and now has this additional location. Good coffee, good pastries, and a happy customer thank you”

“Unique dessert that you can't really find anywhere else. They have very creative flavors, they're all amazing. Very soft, goey texture. I highly recommend skipping dessert at any restaurant you go to at topanga mall and going here instead!”

“A room full of decadent, delicious chocolate. What more could you want?! 😋🍫🫕💝”

“muy exelente lugar, la comida muy rica y excelente atención”

“The granola at Bearies Acai is so delicious! It’s the perfect complement to any base, adding the perfect crunch without overpowering the other flavors. I always add extra!”

“Checked this place out!!! Awesome place with sooo much unique and bold flavors you can't find elsewhere! Make sure you try their matcha pandan flavor! Bold and fragrant! 🍵 🇵🇭 🇺🇸”

“Freshly made churros at a great price and made with love—what more can you ask for?! Will keep coming back every time I’m in LA! Here are photos of the mirth the churros have provided my mom and I for all of internet posterity to stumble upon while searching for churros in the valley mwuahaha!”

“This local Cafe is my new favorite spot. The staff are dear, sweet people who are like sunshine 🌞. you really can't feel grumpy after visiting this place. The treats and coffee are a 100 times better than Starbucks and the price is fair.”

“It’s surprisingly hard to find great brisket in the west San Fernando Valley, so discovering Slab at Topanga Social felt like stumbling onto a hidden gem. I’ve tried a lot of barbecue spots across LA, and this is one of the few that truly gets brisket right. The meat is incredibly tender, with a deep, smoky flavor that doesn’t overpower. The bark is seasoned well, slightly crisp, and full of flavor, with just the right amount of fat running through each slice.

Every time I go, I tell myself I’ll try something new, but I always end up ordering the brisket again. I don’t even browse the menu anymore. It hits every time. That level of consistency is rare, and it’s what keeps me coming back. I wish I could comment on the rest of the food, but honestly, I’ve never made it past the brisket. That should tell you something.

The setup inside Topanga Social makes it easy to grab your food and find a spot to hang out. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the vibe is casual, but the quality of the food feels like it belongs in a more traditional, dedicated barbecue joint.

If you’re in the area and craving real brisket done right, Slab is absolutely worth a visit. It’s become my go-to BBQ spot in the valley without question.”

“best birria tacos I've ever had a must go 2 spot”

“I have been here twice and both times it was good. Tikka masala bowl was great and the gravy was perfect how its suppose to be. Indian pijja (pizza) was great too - balanced flavor, thin crust. And the guy behind the counter is very helpful and friendly too. Highly recommended”

“Not sure how people are giving this place bad reviews. I go just for the beef or chicken teriyaki and it is the best place around.. weird i know considering it’s in the mall.

But for price and food quality, it’s very hard to beat.”
