Restaurants near Highland Park

“Great meal, great service! We enjoyed our pork wienerschnitzel and sides. Everyone that worked there was super friendly. The restaurant/garden is beautiful and quite spacious.

The wienerschitzel was great and each of the sides we tried were good. We loved the fried potatoes with bacon (great texture), the sauerkraut was good, and the Brussels sprouts were tasty.

The beer selection is good - both in tap and bottled.”

“Second time here and the food and service were just as good as the first time!

We literally just left, but the service tonight was so top notch that I had to leave a review and give the staff a shoutout. We brought our kids this time and everyone was so nice and attentive. Even my son said, “Everyone there is so nice!” which pretty much says it all.

We tried a bunch of things we didn’t get last time, and the Katsu Caesar Salad was definitely our favorite this time. Everything we ordered was so good.

My husband is vegan and the rest of us aren’t, so we love finding a place where he has plenty of options and the rest of us can enjoy everything too. Such a great spot and definitely one we’ll keep coming back to! Worth the drive for us”

“Genuinely the best matcha in the world! All the workers are so kind and thoughtful. Especially for Betsy who works there is such a sweetie and always remembers my name and order! I go every morning now!”

“Best east coast style sandwiches in LA no one comes close.”

“So good I had to leave 5 star reviews on multiple platforms! If you don’t pull over and get some BBQ you are missing out on one of the best culinary experiences in the city! Straightforward, no frills, delicious food in generous portions. Brisket, smoked chicken, hot links, tri tip! Their breakfast burritos are amazing as well.”

“The customer service here was great! Me and my grandfather came and the guy and girl there was very nice! We even got to strike up a nice conversation with one of the workers it’s also very clean. WOULD RECOMMEND!!”

“The reviews are pretty mixed here - from horrible to fantastic. If one is realistic, you know what you get: not-so-fancy food in a not-so-fancy chain restaurant at not-so-fancy prices. My wife wanted exactly that, and she was very happy. We took a friend for a late breakfast, and he even went for the T-Bone, which was not medium as ordered, but then again, Denny's is not a steakhouse, but a diner with $20 T-Bones. Sadly, my Arnold Palmer was the worst I ever had. My hash browns and my egg were OK. Would I go again: likely. Would I make a 30+ min detour just to dine here? Absolutely not.”

“I never knew that this place existed. A few months ago, I saw a video short online about Krispy Krunchy Chicken. I looked on Google Map and saw that this place was a few miles from my house.
I ordered the 12 piece chicken only. The gentleman told me that it would take 20 minutes. I watched him make the chicken. The gentleman was very nice.
My husband and I had a late lunch of Krispy Krunchy chicken. The chicken was delicious. The batter was crunchy and seasoned perfectly. Chicken was moist and not dry. If I'm in the area, I will definitely come back for the chicken.”

“This subway was MORE than amazing, my meal was delicious the lady at the register treated me good, floors clean reminded me of the og subway really brings back memories”

“This is my 3rd visit to Italianos in two months. Every time, every bite was delicious. Tonight we got their Giant Pizza. 1/2 Combination and 1/2 Vegitarian. The picture of some pizza left is after feeding 6 adults and two children. Best all around Italian place around, in my well traveled opinion.”

“I was in the mood for something quick and this Taco Bell was a good choice. Ordered a couple soft tacos with nacho fries and everything tasted fresh. The tacos had plenty of toppings and the fries were crispy instead of soggy. Service was friendly and straightforward. I'd come back for sure.”

“There was a woman working this morning around 3:30AM who recommended the creamy avocado ranch sauce which is incredibly tasty and made my meal experience much better. Now I know to get the avocado lime sauce which pairs perfectly with curly fries and chicken tenders. If you're reading this, I thoroughly enjoyed your recommendation. Not all heroes wear capes.”

“The staff there is very nice. The restaurant is very clean inside and outside. The food is always at the right temperature. There's hardly ever any line in the drive-thru. Unfortunately it looks like they need more staff, there are very few employees working there. I believe the issue is a corporate issue and not local management issue. All things considered this location is great.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“Best Seafood Restaurant in LA”

“Nice handmade nixtamal variety corn tortillas by someone who used to work across at Holbox supplying them the same ones. The meat cooks for tacos weren’t the best, bit overcooked. Also be warned that the taco sizes are quite large, almost a bit too much for someone like me who likes to order a few different ones, except the suadero duo. Fav was def the squash blossom corn sofrito quesadilla. Banana leaf ice cream special was pretty good. Also wasn’t biggest fan of the taco sonia, bit too much going on for my taste and overstuffed.”

“Amazing takeout family meal which features the most flavorful and delicious Char Siu Wagyu Short Rib with fluffy bao. All side dishes are well executed and delectable. One of the best staying at home meals I’ve had! Highly recommend it!”

“Ordered the off-menu Pomodoro pasta and it did not disappoint. The tomato and petit basil sauce was bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The wax beans were a standout - snappy and bright with serrano chile, toasted hazelnuts, and a tangy Frenchie vinaigrette. The garden lettuces were crisp and well dressed with radish vinaigrette, fresh dill, walnuts, and shallots. Good vibe, happy staff, great mix of flavors. The orange wine pairing tied it all together. Highly recommend Updated from previous review on 2026-03-29”

“One of the most amazing meals I’ve had.”

“This place is soooo EPIC!! So epic the cast of Parasite movie ate here after winning the #Oscars! Nackchi bokum was the best I ever ate but everything was authentic and delicious!! 🦑👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️”

“The signature dish is the crab in sauce, which comes in medium and large sizes. medium is two crabs with two bowls of rice, and large is three crabs. Compared with other Korean restaurants, the sauce crab taste is mild, and it will not be salty enough to explode in the middle of the meal and cannot continue to eat. The crab is fresh, not fishy, and the meat is firm, not squishy. The crab meat is also very full, the crab legs are full, there is no empty shell crab. The sea urchin rice is a little smaller but the sea urchin is enough. regular sea urchins are not particularly sweet, but they are fresh and worth the price. The sea urchin Rice bowl combo will be served with steamed eggs, runny eggs and two prawns in sauce. Raw marinated salmon rice is amazing to me. The salmon is marinated just enough to be flavorful, but not overly salty. The portions are generous. You can eat two bites of each piece of salmon.”

“Literally this is the best, go here for a wonderful meal and staff. Great wine and cocktails, really beautiful and delicious food and stunning atmosphere. Casual and unassuming but fun and just nice / cozy. Can’t wait to go back!”

“No doubt this is among the best fried chicken in LA!!”

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!”

“Delicious ice cream, with top quality ingredients! Sizes are bigger than other nearby shops and it even includes toppings!”

“So good!!! Amazing. Love the food. The bok choy pot stickers OOOF! The best. 💜💜💜👑👑👑🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽💞💞💞💝💝👨‍❤️‍👨🧡”

“Went to this place a month ago and I’m still thinking about it. Endive salad, flat bread starter with the barbacoa, shrimp, steak, and branzino were stellar.”

“What an unforgettable dinner! Everything was flawless—a perfect 10 out of 10! The food was absolutely delicious, the hostess was incredibly warm and welcoming, and our server provided impeccable service all night long. The restaurant has such a charming, elegant ambiance, and every single detail was spot on. I already can’t wait to come back—highly recommended!I have to give a special shoutout to the lamb. I’m usually not a fan of lamb, but this was the first time I've ever had it cooked so perfectly, and it completely changed my perspective. The side dishes were rich, the drinks were amazing, and every single dish we tried was bursting with flavor”
