“Honestly, I would give more stars if I could. The ambiance and restaurant itself was very elegant but cozy. Every dish we tried was incredible, we started with appetizers the crispy rice with tuna was cooked to perfection as well as the cucumber and avocado salad, which was delicious and flavorful.
Some of my FAVORITES included the yellowtail and jalepenos which i would highlyyy recommend. The Jessica Roll was absolutely to die for and melted in your mouth. We had a few other rolls including the lemon roll and fantasy roll while also grabbing the salmon and yellowtail belly.
Everything was super fresh and flavorful. I would highly recommend stopping by here whether it be with friends to catch up or your significant other for a date.”
Sushi • $$
“Busy place but they're always on point. Great once a month sushi restaurant. The selected nigiri is such a great deal it's like $22 and you get 10 PCs of chefs choice sushi + cali roll and a soup and a salad. Can't beat that with a bat. Quality is always on point. Servers are all super nice and attentive. If you have allergies the staff is super helpful with accommodations. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!
Have to mention the parking (which has nothing to do with the restaurant) I would recommend street parking or anywhere but that back parking lot. Parking staff is a nightmare and overpriced.”

“A Great Place for a Serious Sweet Tooth
A very nice experience at Crumbl. The service is friendly and quick, and the large, impressive cookies definitely deliver. This isn't a critique, but more of a recommendation for anyone considering a visit: if you love super-sweet desserts, this is the place for you. Personally, the sweetness was too intense for me, but I can completely understand why others would fall in love with it.”

“I’ve been to many canes, and the food is great, but the person who cooked my order around 6pm 10/31/2025 (today as I write this) those were some of THE BEST Tenders I’ve had, the crispiest and juices tenders EVER!!!! It was just a pit stop after trick or treating. Give that person a RAISE!!!”

“Tower of Babel, Ivory Tower - towers can get a bad rep. That said, Tower Café may finally change the Tower tide. A delightful café on the 3rd floor of a standard Ventura Blvd office building, Tower Café features a variety of delicious lunch and breakfast items at profoundly reasonable prices. I got the scrumptious turkey sandwich, replete with fresh veggies and a bag of chips (not pictured), all for less than $10! For a quality lunchtime meal that won't break the bank, scale the skyscraper of sandwiches that is the Tower Café.”

Normal friendly service, quickly in and out without any issues.

Cavatappi pasta tossed in a vibrant, herb-packed pesto sauce with garlic, Italian Seasoning, Parmesan cheese, and a layer of fresh mozzarella cheese.
Fresh Brothers Salad 4/5 - normal pre-made salad can't complain here

“Interesting how I’ve seen reviews that state these are ok for LA but just ok for NYC. I think these are great bagels and I’ve had worse. I’d be curious to taste a “real” NYC bagel.
Today was an onion with egg and Swiss. Yummy and a fantastic cup of coffee with the option of Oak milk which I appreciate.”

“Awesome spot for lunch (and dinner too I suppose)! I work across the street and come here all the time. The prices justify the more than generous portions, and you’re not left feeling like you got lied to. Flavor is amazing, always on point. If you work around the area, order beforehand and go pick up your food because it can get pretty busy during the lunch rush. 5/5.”
Tex-Mex • $
“Frequent customer friends of mine called ahead to reserve a table for 3. I was very surprised when the manager comped our meals. The food would have been only a few dollars more than fast food , but it was far better as to exactly cooking to the asked for point of good grade Angus beef. Waiters were often checking our satisfaction and getting any items quickly. I was told by my friends that they had tipped deciently. I still slipped an additional decent tip to our waiter out of gratitude for good service.”

Ordered x2 Bags
Normally you get 3 items at coffee bean and tea leafs.

“I had a coupon for Blaze so finally came by to try them. I had overlooked them thinking it might not be good but was pleasently surprised with how great the pizza came out.
The employee was very helpful in making my pizza. All of their ingredients taste great and fresh. The pizza I ended up making was exactly what I was looking for at the time and came out quick and baked to perfection. The restaurant was a typical frenchise place. Industrial interior but serves for a quick bite to eat.
I realize that thinking it was just another mid slop bowl as a pizza shop was a mistake. If you are looking for a good quick pizza then you can count on Blaze.”

“One of my favorite locations. Spacious yet cozy if you wish to stay and sip and snack. Plenty of outlets if you wish to stay and recharge or work on that epic novel. Clean and well organized, with friendly accommodating baristas who provide fast service. An abundance of outdoor seating as well. Aaaand prices lower than at some much inferior locations (see my review on the Valley Village 4800 Laurel Canyon location). Aaaaand plenty of parking! Aaaaaand a drive-through! C'mon now!”

“Good stuff! Philly Classic. If you want everything on it, make sure you order the right one. I had a Philly Cheesesteak in NY, right off a street cart and it had everything on it. I guess that's why I thought a Classic had everything.
Regardless, this place was great!”
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt • $
“We really love this chain of places, but this particular location is our favorite, even though it’s a bit farther to get to.
The main reason is that they always have the mandarin sorbet (vegan), which is absolutely delicious!
The service and everything else are also excellent.”

“I decided to eat here with my family for breakfast after the first day of Hanukkah and the owners communiciated with me that it will be around 35-45 minute wait for food due to high number of customers ordering on site and online. Sat outside but decided to walk inside to order latte's and bake goods meanwhile. Inside is DEVINE. It was full of customers waiting to buy the Chanukah donuts (seasonal only, I was told) and we ended up taking to our table all 14 flavors of delicious mouthful. and took another 12 special assorted flavors to go to gift to our family friend. Time went by quickly shared with my good company and inside this family-oriented environment. Everybody was working hard, and the food was worth the anticipation. My family and I walked out pleased and impressed by their quality. We will all be coming back in again.”

“Our dinner last night at IHOP was outstanding. I believe the difference was the service we received from Benjamin. We were greeted with friendliness and a smile as soon as we walked in the door and were seated promptly. Beverage order taken and filled quickly. All options and substitutions we addressed and accepted. The food was delicious, exactly how we wanted it, and served in a timely manner. Benjamin made sure our drinks were always full. He was really on top of everything during our meal making it a very smooth experience. We have gone to this IHOP many times over the years and typically the service is adequate. Unfortunately the previous time we had gone it was terrible. So much so that we addressed it with the manager another day. They offered to comp us a dinner, but that wasn't what we wanted, just better service. We decided to give them one last shot before writing them off. Last night was the complete opposite in the best way. Just service that went above and beyond any expectations. Benjamin really made all the difference and he is the reason will continue to go to this IHOP.”
