“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.”

“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.”
“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.”
“5 stars sorpresa meraviglioso ristorante, my first time here and i love It Good ambiance excellent food very cozy. buon appetito.”
“I usually come here for lunch, but I must say that my experience has been nothing but stellar every time visited. Food comes out quick, ramen is cooked perfectly, and the establishment is spotless. I've been to Kopan Ramen in different locations, but I would rate this place the highest. I'm not sure if this place can handle large parties, but groups of 1-4 are perfect.”
Outdoor Dining
“As usual, the food was fantastic. We usually dine at the Woodland Hills restaurant, but decided to try Encino over Christmas. Noman
Is an exceptional manager, who made sure our meal was perfect and the service was as good as Woodland Hills. We highly recommend Anarbaugh. It is not just the best Indian food in The valley, but also one of the best restaurants overall in the valley.”

Takeout Restaurants
“Extremely satisfied on my first visit to this location. However a couple of employees had nasty attitudes , fortunately there was a female employee by the name of Jasmine. I was extremely satisfied with her customer service skills definitely needs promotion and to train these other unprofessional rude workers . None the less Jasmine the worker made experience 10/10 . I ordered cookie dough, galaxy brownies, and marshmallow fluff brownies.”
“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 😊”
“Reason for visiting: cousin's birthday dinner
Date/time of visit: Saturday night, 7:30 PM
Parking: they offer valet (not sure how much it is) but you can park on the street (along Rubio) or Ventura for free (meters are off on the weekends)
Party size: 5
Environment/ambience: pretty loud inside (sometimes couldn't hear ourselves talking); mixed crowd but mostly younger (teens and 20 somethings). Didn't see any TVs inside; restroom was pretty clean. Seating was tight; it was a table for 4 but we squeezed a chair. They were busy all night so probably best to make reservations.
Service: was great; very friendly and offered suggestions. Came around often. Offered them one of the desserts we brought, they took off a couple items from the bill ?
Food: everything was great; had the Blue Fin and Salmon Belly handroll, spider roll, Katsuya Sake, beer, mixed sashimi, Lobster dynamite, scallop cut roll
Cost: $390 with tip
Would I go back (yes/no): 93/7”
“I stumbled upon this hidden gem on the 2nd floor of the 16133 yesterday. The lunch panini was a healthy fill me up and they had all the essentials with such an inviting atmosphere. The service was spectacular. Don't miss out and go up to what feels like lunch heaven!”
“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”
“Corey was amazing! I'm not being funny but how hard is it to order chicken tenders! A customer before me was just all of the place with their order. When I say Corey had more patience and customer service than I would have, I mean it! 5 star on customer service! You can't mess up chicken tenders! I will be back just because of how kind he was!”

“Really decent place in a strip mall. The food isn't going to blow you away but it's good and definitely worth going to if it's on your way and you're feeling the need for Chinese!”

“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Emilio’s has been one of my favorite restaurants for years and I love coming here with my family or bringing it home. Perfect for lunch or dinner and we have some favorites like the bolognese and the famous chopped salad but honestly everything I’ve had here is so good. The patio is nice for a warm day but the inside is cute for a cold evening for a cozy time”

“Raúl G was our server on Friday December 27th during the post-Holiday crush. Their Service was Excellent - personable & friendly and VERY PATIENT as we were attempting to calm & care for our rambunctious toddler who needed a nap and was having a mini-meltdown!
THANK YOU Raul for making a special yummy treat for our young one and for being so gracious. Happy New Year! 🙂
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian & Vegan options - multiple non-dairy options for the smoothie base, etc
Kid-friendliness: Raúl was awesome with our toddler who LOVES Jamba Juice!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Never have to wait for my order even if I order via the app 5-min before I show up. The friendly staff have come to know me so it's a nice touch to be greeted when I come in. There's a small seating area both inside and outside if you need to get a little work done or have some time to sit. Parking is pretty easy but can get busy when the nearby restaurant is open. Lately I've noticed a security guard out front to wrangle the homeless that show up at times, which is nice for safety. There is a restroom if you need it and they give a code for it. Overall, it's clean, close to my work & easy to grab for your food.”

“Delicious , authentic Israeli food just like I’ve had during my visits to Israel. Great staff and welcoming to all!”
“The salad is really good but the prices have become very high. $14 for a bbq chop salad? And they never usually charge me to add cucumber to it but this time the cashier did.”
“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!

“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.”

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fat Sal's, and it was an unforgettable experience! I ordered the "Fat Jerry" sandwich, which is a glorious masterpiece packed with ribeye steak, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, a fried egg, crisp bacon, grilled onions, melted American cheese, and fries. Each bite was a delightful explosion of flavors, and it truly lived up to the hype.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is incredibly cool, with a great design that perfectly complements the laid-back vibe. It's the kind of place where you can easily relax with friends or enjoy a casual meal after a long day.
While I did find the prices to be a bit on the high side, I can assure you that the food is absolutely worth every penny. The quality and taste are simply outstanding! The staff were also fantastic—super friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better.
If you're looking for delicious food in a fun setting, look no further than Fat Sal's. I can't wait to go back and try more of their amazing menu!”
