​The Staff: The team here is genuinely some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Their kindness, warmth, and attentive care make the entire meal feel so special. Joanah was wonderful!
​The Food: The sushi is an absolute masterpiece. The quality, freshness, and delicate flavor of the fish are so perfectly balanced that you do not even need a single drop of soy sauce. It completely stands on its own!

“Gourmanoff is one of my favorite food markets. They have an excellent selection of high-quality products and a very good variety of freshly prepared food that you can take home and enjoy right away.

A special thank you to the owner for maintaining such a high standard. The chefs do an excellent job, and you can really feel the attention to quality in the prepared dishes.

The ladies who assist customers are always very friendly, welcoming, and kind. The level of service is excellent and makes the shopping experience even more pleasant.

The store is compact, but very well stocked and carefully selected. Another pleasant surprise is that some products are noticeably less expensive here than at other specialty markets.

A great place for anyone who appreciates quality food, good selection, and excellent service 👍”

“All wraps and burgers can be done in a gluten free wrap if needed. Make sure to ask. I have ciliac so gluten is a big no for me. Honestly, this place surprised me. I came with a group of friends and didnt expect to be able to eat much. Sean, I believe, went above and beyond in helping me out and explaining that they could do whatever is on the menu in a gluten wrap so I had more options. Been years since I've been here but I'll be back for sure. Also, gotta love a place that still believes in good size portions. Always nice to be able to take some home if I want. But check out their menu, they have great flavors in all the categories really. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Water mister on the patio area during the hot days. Would recommend of course.”

“I have to say chilis has step up their game when it comes to their food. We stopped for lunch. And they did not dissapoint. NO over price menu. Decent amount of food given and the staff was really friendly. It was a chill environmemt.”

“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!”

“My first time ever having poke, I got the spicy tuna small bowl and just asked the wonderful lady running the place to put on whatever she thought I should have with it. So delicious! Will try to have this at least once a month.”

“Nick up in the front is AMAZING!! The energy and service he provides is phenomenal. Always be back to this LOCATION!

Thank you NICK for your service.”

“Service was friendly !! Food was so amazing”

“Visiting Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt feels less like going out for dessert and more like being given permission to play with your food again—in the best possible way. From the moment you step inside, there’s a noticeable shift in mood. Everything feels lighter, brighter, and a little more carefree than the usual dining experience.

What immediately stands out is the self-serve concept. Instead of simply ordering and waiting, you’re actively involved in creating your own dessert from the ground up. That small change transforms the experience completely. You’re not just choosing a flavor—you’re building something personal, step by step.

The selection of frozen yogurt flavors offers a nice balance between familiar classics and more playful options. What makes it enjoyable is the freedom to mix and match without any pressure to get it “right.” Some combinations turn out simple and comforting, others more adventurous, but all of them feel like part of the fun rather than a strict decision.

Then comes the topping bar, which is where the experience really opens up. It feels almost limitless in a way that encourages creativity. Fresh fruit, candies, cookies, sauces—each addition changes the dessert in a noticeable way, and that makes the process feel interactive rather than routine. It’s the kind of place where you start with one idea and end up with something completely different simply because you got curious along the way.

The atmosphere inside Menchie’s matches that same energy. It’s casual, welcoming, and filled with a sense of movement and variety. People aren’t rushing—they’re experimenting, tasting, adjusting, and enjoying the process. Families, friends, and individuals all seem to approach it in slightly different ways, but the overall feeling is the same: relaxed enjoyment.

The staff contribute quietly but importantly to the experience. Everything is kept clean, well-stocked, and organized, which makes the self-serve format feel easy and stress-free. There’s a sense that the space is maintained with care, allowing customers to focus entirely on enjoying themselves.

What makes Menchie’s stand out is that it doesn’t treat dessert as something final or fixed. Instead, it turns it into something flexible and personal. Each visit can feel completely different depending on what you choose and how you combine it. That variability is part of its charm.

As I sat down to enjoy what I had created, I realized how simple but satisfying the whole experience was. It wasn’t just about the frozen yogurt—it was about the process of making it, customizing it, and enjoying something that felt uniquely yours.

Overall, Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt offers more than just a sweet treat. It offers a small moment of creativity, lightness, and fun in the middle of an ordinary day. It’s the kind of place you visit not because you need dessert, but because you want a brief, enjoyable break from routine—and it delivers exactly that.”

“100/100 experience this guy Justin was super super nice,he told us all about pizza and the history behind it,and overall 100/100 customer experience,we even found out he loves working here,and recommended us some of his favorite options,thank you Justin for everything.”

“Angele and her team Ana, Aaron and Cristina, (can’t remember the other names) they’re always very friendly and welcoming every time I go. They greet me with a smile and they never disappoint me with my morning drinks (: thank you all so much for your generous and kind customer service!”

“GREAT food and atmosphere i love it”

“This is a place I had long wanted to visit; it is located in a commercial district and has a dedicated parking lot. The dining environment is excellent, featuring bright indoor seating as well as outdoor tables facing the street. The burger patties are huge, though the price is on the high side.”

“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”

“Best service..the baristas service was great..i will be coming to this location!”

“Going strong since the early 70s!”

“The homemade tortillas are delicious, one of our favorite spots!”

“The manager is very friendly and professional. I am in a wheelchair, and some of the front desk staff ignore me. I came with my nurse. She waited in line twice and told them I needed to order, showing I was where the handicapped sign was. Both times, they ignored her and went to the next customer. When I said you sipped me, they said I have to wait in line. I did three times but they ignored my nurse. The staff also does not assist my nurse. She was sold two tiny cream cheese instead of the ones in the refrigerator. Plus i do not get a bakers dozen ever. They sell 12 but i say its 13 and they corrct me. I never have these issuss in Van Nuys. Nor when the manager assists me.”

“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!”

“BEST CARNE ASADA AND GUAC IN NORTH AMERICA.

Service is QUICK.
Owner is a sweet young lady
They always have all the fixins/salsas you'd need.
You can tell they work hard and make consistently authentic food year round.”

“Quick Service Very Friendly / Good Customer Service”

“Jaylin was great very welcoming and polite and helpful I think other Jersey Mike's should take example from this place I have one near my house but I will from now on be coming to this location food was great and vibes was great I usually don't really take this much time on reviews

But when you got someone that is worth it then I must do it and show my appreciation”

“Great shop. Counter woman all by herself on Saturday night, but worked quickly and efficiently. Never lost her cool or manners. Management should have 2 people on weekends during promotion sales. Not fair to the staff at all.”

“Amazing Breakfast, I highly recommend.”

“We had early dinner there today. Wonton soup was delicious. Chicken in garlic sauce was extremely tasty and vegetable noodles was succulent. The service was utmost friendly and polite. Thank you.”

“GREAT food and atmosphere i love it”

“Please reopen Jerry's Famous Deli their sandwiches is the best Billy is the best waiter I've ever had in my life we need Jerry's Famous Deli in Encino it's a lovely place to eat for all the family and they make a proper bloody Mari please reopen Jerry's Famous Deli”

“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.”

“I love Katsu-ya - I think I've probably been to most of the locations at this point. I took my friend to dinner and she had never been to a Katsu-ya - and while the Studio City location would've been closer, I know their parking situation sucks. So I made reservations for the Encino location.

I ordered my usual miso black cod entree - always delicious and such a bargain for the quality fish you're getting. My friend loved her meal too.

The best thing about this location is that on weekends the parking lot in the back is plentiful and free. Free parking on the Boulevard? Heck yeah!”

“I when to celebrate my birthday 🎂 it’s nice place and the service so good”

“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.”

“Great place went on Saturday the 13th love the piano and the atmosphere. Customer service was awesome”

“Unique and interesting flavors but the taste is ok, not exceptional. Enjoyed going there once don't feel the need to go back. They are building out their store which will make the seating situation better.”

“So good! My boyfriend and I got a couple pints to go and a 2 flavor bowl. I always go for any flavor with chocolate chips, they are very generous with the chocolate chunks when they make the batches. Service is great. I love that that they pack the pints fresh for your order.”
