Restaurants with Delivery
“I stopped by this Pressed Juicery store to get an Acai bowl. I looked at their menu and went with the Beauty acai bowl. The lady working was very helpful and friendly. She made my Acai bowl quick and I took it home to eat. There wasn't much fruits in it but it was still good. There plenty of parking in the courtyard this store is in.”
“Great food, Great outside patio. Counter service is good, once you get your food though best not expect anything else in terms of service. We asked for the heater to be turned on and some ketchup...still waiting. This has been my experience pretty much everytime.”

“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.”
“5 stars sorpresa meraviglioso ristorante, my first time here and i love It Good ambiance excellent food very cozy. buon appetito.”
“The food is amazing! I will definitely be going back. If you go for lunch order ahead, they make everything fresh.”
“My first time coming to Ping Pong and I really enjoyed my experience! The place is nestled in a busy shopping mall but inside it was very clean and well decorated. The food was great! Plenty of options with the option to share everything with the spin glass in the center! We definitely got our money's worth today! Lastly, the service was very polite and friendly!”

“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.”
“Do you know the phrase, "there are plenty of fish in the sea"? Well, when it comes to fish tacos- La Grigiata is the ONLY FISH in the sea! What can I say, they make fantastic fish tacos.
Parking: The truck is conveniently located right outside of a post office. Easy to run up and grab some grub!”

“My family and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sadaf Restaurant, and what stood out to me most beyond the delicious food and warm atmosphere was the exceptional service. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with genuine hospitality that immediately set the tone for the remainder of our visit.
Iman waited our table who was very attentive but without being intrusive, always checking in at the right time, offering thoughtful suggestions from the menu, and ensuring that every detail of our experience was perfect. It’s rare these days to find a team so dedicated to making guests feel welcome, and it left a lasting impression.
I genuinely enjoyed and appreciated the friendly and approachable attitude of Iman. It really felt like a true Iranian hospitality. The food was also excellent! We will certainly be back.”
“The food is absolutely delicious, whether you’re enjoying an appetizer or a main course—everything is packed with flavor. The hookah is top-notch, smooth, and enjoyable. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure you have a great time. And the weekend live music adds such a fun and lively atmosphere! Highly recommend this place for a fantastic night out.”
“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.”

“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!!!”
“One of the most light-filled coffee shops in the Valley with the happiest team of baristas I have ever encountered. The range of seating arrangements makes this my favorite place to get work done when I want to take a break from working from home. My go-to drinks are the hot chocolate and the red velvet lattes! 100/10, highly recommend 😊”
“Absolutely love Tasty Town! The sandwiches are fresh, flavorful, and made just right every time. The staff is always kind and helpful, and the service is quick—even when it’s busy. It’s the perfect place for a satisfying lunch or quick bite. Highly recommend if you’re craving something delicious!”
“The 2 lines look crazy long initially but they move real quick. Finding seating could be a problem regardless of what time of the day or week you walk in. It's that packed. But the meat pies are worth it! And I also had the Cuban style sandwich, which was light and not soggy or oily and very tasty. Pricing is reasonable and they also have a pastry section as well.”

“From the moment I stepped in, I could tell this place was something special. The atmosphere was calm, clean, and welcoming — perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. The staff greeted us with warm smiles and made sure we felt comfortable right away, which really set the tone for the evening.
The food was exceptional. Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really tell that high-quality ingredients and attention to detail are a priority here. The portions were generous, and everything came out at just the right temperature. One of the dishes stood out as a favorite — full of flavor and cooked to perfection.
The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive without hovering, offering great recommendations and checking in just enough to make sure everything was perfect. It’s rare to find a place that gets both the food and service so right. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends and family.”

Normal friendly service, quickly in and out without any issues.
FOOD 4/5
Garlic Pesto Pasta 4/5 - love how the cheese is baked on the top (nice and crispy)
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

Easy parking in a small shopping plaza filled with our restaurants to eat at.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“What a cool place. The atmosphere was inviting, the service was friendly and the food was delicious. Pastrami breakfast burrito and the horchata latte were outstanding.”

“This is a Too Good to Go Review:
Ordered x2 Bags
Normally you get 3 items at coffee bean and tea leafs.
These guys hook it up.
They make their drinks well too, so if you go, grab a drink too, this one does not dissapoint, the coffee in my last 3 trips is really good here.”
“Why isn't there a way for me to tip the staff with my digital payment methods!? these guys are amazing and I don't carry paper cash with me but I always have a good time and want to show my appreciation not just say it.
Kid-friendliness: they have high chairs and low seats so kids can easily be accommodated.
Wheelchair accessibility: both entrances are wheelchair accessible”
“Incredibly friendly staff and they get shakes shook quick cuz who likes standing around waiting lol love Cindy and Corina, Rubin ain’t so bad either lol I highly recommend the muscle up with chocolate protein and a handful of spinach, it looks like baby p*** but it’s so good for you and it taste great”
“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!”
“Small mom and pop cafe on the third floor of 16000 Ventura blvd building. Super friendly owners, good for breakfast and lunch. My favorite is the breakfast burrito and curry rice for lunch.”

“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.”
“It's McDonald's. You know what you're going to get when you go there. It's always pretty consistent. Any McDonald's you go to you're going to get the same general quality generally.
1 hack I will recommend get the Double Quarter Pounder with cheese and add a Big Mac sauce to it. That's my personal go to when they don't have McRibs in season.. and my dog loves the chicken nuggets.”
“That sounds like a fantastic dining experience”
