“Very nice place me and my family and my friends really search for authentic and nice place for going out we saw the good reviews about the place and we decide to give it a try and didn't be disappointed. Everything was been super delicious and the service has been fast so recommend the place.“

“Went to Sam's for the first time today... all I can say is yum! Food was fresh and delicious. The service was excellent, very friendly! Love how they cook the kebabs over charcoal out front. Restaurant was clean which is always good sign! Will definitely be back!“

“Love the cleanliness, the short waiting times for your food and the excellent customer service they provide you with. The menu has a little bit of everything for various taste buds. Love their Korean tacos! Their Korean BBQ mild is spicy enough and if you want it spicier, just have them add the spice- you won't regret it. Their katsu chicken is tasty and it's better with the garlicky sauce IMO. The Korean burger is packed with flavors. Definitely coming back to keep trying out more stuff.Parking: Parking is in a shopping center.Kid-friendliness: Environment is very kid friendly, TV is playing something entertaining and a child can be themselves here.Wheelchair accessibility: Very wide open for wheelchair access.“

“Unbelievably good food. I had the Memphis style pork rib meal. The dry rub is perfect and delicious. Add the occasion dip of their homemade BBQ sauce for more perfection. The beans were homemade and had a light smoke flavor with some meat in it. The potato salad was unique and delicious as well. They take real pride in their food as they should. Some of the best bbq I had had in a long time…and I try a lot of them! Go treat yourself. Take out only“

“I ordered the Philly cheese steak sandwich with fries & beans. Also ordered a side of plantains. Excellent food and smiling staff. Mildly spicy.All food prepared to order so it's nice and hot and fresh. Indoor and outdoor seating. Nice area on Maclay's "cafe row" east of Truman.Recommended. Try it.“

“My first time in Santa Monica. My friend searched Mexican food spots in the area and we chose this one. Ordered for pickup and it was ready in a good amount of time. My food was hot, fresh, and flavorful. I got the OG Burrito with Birria and churros. So so good! Highly recommend you stop here and enjoy the other options as well. Customer service was great, too.“

“Wait until the weather is warmer and eat outside because the inside grills don't use fire and the exhaust fans don't seem strong enough. Overall the food quality is a little better than normal barbecue places but we still prefer Park's BBQ or Gyu-Kaku.Service here is especially slow since they seem to lack enough staff. The atmosphere is casual.“

“Weekly pop up BBQ offerings with pick up in Simi Valley. I love their modern and innovative twist on classic BBQ dishes.Make sure you sign up to their weekly newsletter, pre-orders are made available through Tock every Wednesday. Pick up are Saturday and walk up are offered some Sundays.“

“How I've never managed to come across this place till today is beyond me. The pork belly is really wonderfully good. Paul is really warm and friendly behind the counter. The pork belly is rich, crunchy in the right places, seasoned to perfection. See pictures, go here, eat up, you'll love it.“

“It was lunch and I was hungry I stopped a new spot to me ! I love trying new places ! It was worth itI went with the hot wings just was in the mood it’s priced well but wow it was amazing the hot wings had the correct amount of sauce fresh chicken excellent dipping ranch“

“An institution with the best brisket in town.Small funky lil shack on Sepulveda you'd drive right by if you didn't already know it was there and were specifically looking for it.They have a lovely well appointed dimly lit dining room and the waitresses are nice and make effort to be charming in that comforting way restaurant staff used to be back in the day.But I'm going to assume most, like me, phone and simply pick up their order to take out.Mostly I assume to also like me maintain some sense of self respect.What with all the hungry sounds of your indulgence of the savory tastings feeding deliciously eating licking your fingers smacking your lips and what not... it's just embarrassing, shamelessly undignified... Nobody needs to see that ツViel Spaß!Christon ツParking: Since is a very small place there is parking albeit limited“

“Lovely place, great atmosphere, music and good food. Visited last year.The staff was very friendly, we were short on cash and had just too little for the beers. The employee gave us the beer for free, because a good burger should come with a beer. Fantastic!“

“I really meant to include a photo with my review, but it was gone before I could get one. Outstanding BBQ from some genuinely nice people! The brisket was moist and tender and the ribs absolutely fell off the bone. Don’t skip the mac and cheese or the greens. If you’ve been driving by and not stopping, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Eat at AJ’s!“

“Wow, I don't know how I got so lucky to find this secret gem tucked away in the canyon, but I am so grateful for it! I was looking for some BBQ Super Bowl weekend and this showed up in my search. I made an order on their website for Super Bowl specials, drove up the next day, and showed up to find a beautiful pop up with a nice outdoor setting, huge smokers, and the nicest people. The whole operation looked like a labor of love because you can feel how the people running it care about what they're doing, who they're serving, and making damn sure they do it well. Everyone at the party enjoyed the brisket, chicken, and pork ribs along with all the sides and sauces. You literally can not go wrong with anything you order on the menu. We'll be back for more! Thank you so much for sharing your passion for bbq with us!“

“Here's a review for Maple Block: Maple Block never fails to impress with its delicious barbecue offerings, but their mashed potatoes with brisket inside stole the show for me. It's a shame that this mouthwatering dish was only a special because it absolutely deserves a permanent spot on the menu. The combination of creamy mashed potatoes and flavorful brisket is a match made in heaven. Hopefully, Maple Block considers adding it permanently to their already fantastic lineup.“

“Stopped by this business earlier this afternoon and met the owner. Was in awe of the quality of food and service. Humble people, incredible quality of food, and a beautiful small business we drove 40 mins based on a friend's recommendation. Personally I don't understand the few haters who wrote negative reviews on this place - all I can say is this place tops every single Armenian food and catering business we've ordered 10s of thousands of service/food from! In summary we loved everything about the place - quality of food, service, ambiance, and will recommend it unequivocally to all friends and family. Moreover, we will go out of our way to order future catering from Gev's kitchen. Way to go my new friend, you earned our business and trust for years to come!“

“Food was pretty good and well seasoned. Chick was awesome, brisket was good but maybe a little thin, links were good, pork ribs were maybe on the dryer side then use to but still good. Cornbread was on point, and cold Mac taste a little store bought.“

“this is the only thai place my family gets take out from — simply incomparable to any other thai i’ve had in the valley or LA. the portions are large, the flavor is balanced, and the texture of the rice and noodles are always perfect. absolutely best place for thai in LA in my opinion. highly recommend the pad thai, pad see ew, house fried rice“

“If you can't get to SGV, where the quality and selection of Chinese food is incredible, Sam Woo is a great valley option. Standouts are their BBQ meats; roast duck, roast pork , char siu. Good selections of all noodle dishes; chow menial, Lo Meir, chow fun. Then like most Chinese restaurants hundreds of options. The key here is their consistent authentic dishes. Casual and good service.“

“Very clean place and the food was good. They serve most of their meat frozen but still has good flavor. since there was not alot of people there we did not wait long in between meat orders. They provide little sides like bean sprouts, kimchi....etc and a complimentary house soup and salad before you start digging into their meatsParking: About 10 to 15 stalls, very small limited parking lotWheelchair accessibility: Yes handicap parking and no stairs“

“Mia's intuition is spot on! She has an amazing technique that really allows her to get to the core of an issue. As soon as I sat down with her I felt at ease, like she was family. She gave me immediate insight and I felt relief in the places I was struggling. Highly recommend her services!“

“Food and Service 10 out of 10! This is our second event booked with Marcelo and crew. From the first call, he was the upmost professional, very attentive and responsive. Our event was held in Santa Ynez, Ca. Marcelo & crew arrived at 6:30 am to service food by 3 pm. From beginning to end, theses guys got their stuff down. Their set up is impressive, then they start preparing all meats, marinating everything on site, all high quality meats, sausage, ribs, chicken served with salad, bread, chimichurri sauce and empanadas (beef, chicken, spinach) and we opted for roasted veggies for 175 ppl. Our guest could not stop raving about how spectacular the food was. Being from Argentina, I can attest this is as authentic as it gets! They are legit. Throughout the day, Marcelo's attitude was so positive and there was nothing he did not answer with, "no problem, we got it covered ", this was so reassuring for a "control-freak like me" lol. I just knew I had nothing to worry about when it came to the food. At the end of the day, the breakdown was as impressive as the set up, as I watched them clean every utensil, cookware and grill back to new before loading things back in their trailer. I wholeheartedly recommend them for any event small or large, they will not disappoint. Thank you Marcelo and crew for a spectacular job.“

“First time here with a small group of friends and it was a great experience! Not only was the food absolutely delicious and flavorful, but the staff were so attentive throughout the entire experience. It's definitely more of a quiet ambiance with soft korean music playing in the background, but it didn't take away from the experience at all. The food from the appetizers to the entree were SO GOOD, I wish I had more room in my stomach. I would love to continue coming back here in the future and continue trying out the rest of their menu!!“

“The food was delicious. Service was quick and amazing. Some of the food is made to order but it's worth the wait I ordered fried rice and they gave me a big bowl I barely finished it. This was some of the best Korean BBQ I've had lately will definitely come again. Bring some extra dollars for the pinball games.“

“First time at Woodranch, and I would definitely go back. The server Jennifer was amazing, and honestly, she's given us such wonderful service. It's been a minute since we've come across someone who looks happy doing what they are doing.“

“the food is amazing, except their veggie burritos are horrendous. kinda surprising how anyone could screw up a vegetarian burrito recipe, let alone menu, but the other items are pretty good. i especially love their chicken and rice. the pupusas have a little too much dough/not enough filling for their price, but the filling tastes good nonetheless. i also love how close to the orange line it is.“

“The food is now much better under the new management. We were there Sunday night. Unfortunately it was empty. Of course we had quick service and very fresh food. There were several takeout customers during our stay. I hope more people re-discover this place and it can survive. We will be back.“

“Quite possibly one of the best stick burner BBQ in the valley. Brisket and burn ends are some of my favorite things to get here. They also make sausage, but one of the real kickers are the plate ribs, aka, short ribs, aka Dino bones. Flavor and tenderness like that are a work of art, and they take their time with it. Can't recommend this enough.“

“The duck was on the chalkboard menu and it was our absolute favorite! Miso black cod was also on the chalkboard menu and delicious too! The skewers have such an amazing flavor and the staff was extremely attentive -- switching out my plate 3 times and my water cup was never empty. Call ahead to make reservations, and parking is easy a couple blocks south.“

“Wonderful Owners! Give them a try!I'm a foodie and I like trying all types of food and restaurants, especially Filipino food. I sometimes get turned away from going because feel like I will be out of place. I was craving something sweet and started searching Yelp in Panorama City for a spot to grab Turon to try for my first time. I landed on Sally's, so I stopped in after seeing the good reviews. It seemed like a small family run place that does mostly take out orders from small to large. They were getting ready to close but I still I asked about their Turon. They were sold out for the day and kindly advised it usually best to order ahead because they do sell out and it's best to get them fresh. I believe it was the owners, a man and woman working who also asked me how I heard about them and started explaining all about the food choices, providing recommendations, showing pictures and how to order for next time. The best part was they did have 1extra Turon and gave it to me free and refused to charge me. I really wanted to pay but they said it was a sample so I knew what they tasted like for the next time. Honestly, this made my day!!! The owners made me feel so comfortable and welcomed as they could tell it was my first time visiting and I was out of place. It made me feel like I was at my Filipino friends house who is always making delicious food to try. I'll definitely be back to grab more Turon and try all their food. I love supporting small business that appreciate their customers like I saw today. Thank you!!!!!“

“Beautiful location at The Vineyards At Porter Ranch. I ordered the St. Louis Ribs and Fried Chicken Combo with French Fries and BBQ Baked Beans. Everything tasted good and not overly seasoned. I will definitely go back and try some other dishes.“

“To start we were greeted by the store owner/manager, and then we were instantly seated with no wait. Food was amazing! Highly recommend 1/4 ILB for a single person. Overall great costumer service. There are sports on the TVs and a giant window to people watch and check cars out of. Near the beach aswell so great stop!“

“I've been to this little hole in the wall. It doesn't have many places to sit but u can always eat outside. They have tables set up around the grill, where they cook there meats. I've tried the pork belly wrap. Only $10. It's more than enough to fill u up. Great food. I've gone back with family and friends and we all love it!“

“Great KBBQ spot with lots of good quality meats. The only gripe I do have is the parking lot is a bit small, especially when you try to come on a friday or Saturday. It shares its lot with a few other businesses, so it is what it is. Servers are always great & the atmosphere is lively. Definitely a good spot just to grab some drinks as well.“

“This is a fast Chinese food spot food is not horrible but it's not the best. It is one of the better and cleaner looking Chinese food locations I've been to. The service is fast if you're gonna order from the pre made food there and the portions are huge for a good price. If you're gonna order off the menu i recommend ordering that first it will take a little bit longer to get that out. Inside looks a lot better looks like it's been painted and got new signs on the walls. Decent spot good service and fast food.“

“Came here for happy hour on a weeknight. Decently busy but there were a few open tables in the bar area.The bar area is pretty small but can’t beat the happy hour. For the price, the food is a great value as well as the drinks.My only complaint is that the music is way too loud for the size of the space. Or am I just getting old?“

“A quaint, laid back BBQ joint. When I visited there were maybe eight groups in the restaurant. The service was prompt and friendly. The pastrami sandwich and onion rings were delicious. The only thing which was so so was the Mac and cheese.“

“So amazing!! Delicious food, fantastic service, and a beautiful interior. With lovely employees who always have smiles on their faces, I felt so welcome. I couldn't ask for a better BBQ spot. Experiencing another culture's cuisine was eye-opening. Thank you!“

“One of my favorite restaurants to this day, have known the staff for quite some time and have always joined the food. Food is pretty cheap for the size portions as well. As for the ambiance of the place its not longer dine in but when it was it felt very home like and comfortable. As for now its only takeout.“

“They always do an amazing job, 100% best BBQ in the area, no doubt. Love this spotParking: Easy parking all around the building, which is a lot to say being off TopangaKid-friendliness: See kids there all the timeWheelchair accessibility: Easy, level pavement from parking to entrance“

“Date: 1/26/24 Was craving Hawaiian food and didn't want to leave the house with the two babies so decided to grub hub some food. Looked through the list and just went with the first option because it looked good already. 1. BBQ Chicken, Beef & Katsu Combo (13.99$) - Saw it was only a dollar more for another protein so of course I had to get this one. The chicken was probably my favorite of the three. Very juicy and soft. Love that they don't shiest on the protein. My toddler loved the katsu and the bbq chicken! Beef was more on the chewy side so it was harder to eat for the kids but i enjoyed it. 2. BBQ Chicken & Short Ribs Combo (14.99$) - The short ribs were amazing!!! It went by so fast and I really wanted more. Again the BBQ Chicken was really good. Definitely recommend this combo! An amazing first experience not to mention so incredibly CHEAP!!! Can't wait to come back and try everything else!“

“We went on a Friday night for a casual dinner at around 8:15. We were seated right away. Good service, good selection of food and drinks. We shared the artichoke dip and a sandwich. Both were good. We were also given garlic rolls which were delicious. We would go back. Good atmosphere with a lot of people and a casual vibe.“
