The burritos are still packed with flavor, the ingredients taste fresh, and the portions are solid. It’s nice to see that the quality hasn’t changed at all. The service was friendly too, and everyone was quick and welcoming. Definitely one of those places that’s stayed consistent over the years, and I’ll definitely keep coming back.“

“This is a beautifully decord Indian restaurant, tremendous menu with a warm, youthful family vibe. You will be met with the most fragrant delightful smells emanating from the kitchen as you enter and be surrounded by beautiful seating aggrangments fit for a special or romantic night out. The food, oh my, served authentically in traditional pots is so delicious you will pause to take the flavors all in. We go often, I must always order Saag Paneer, unbelievable, and we try all the various Biryani which are amazing. Last night had Chicken Vindaloo with garlic naan - just melts in your mouth. The staff, it is family owned and everyone is absolutely kind and helpful. A very large menu of Indian traditional meals, very reasonably priced and the food fressness stairs you right in the face. We randomly found this place one night and we have been back at least once or twice per week since. This wonderful restaurant is tucked away in a strip mall off Ventura Blvd with ample parking ( and handicap) right in front. Opened until 10pm, it is a great place for a special meal but is a very casual environment. I've been eating Indian food all my life and this is by far the best you will ever find! And believe me, the family that built this business are very proud of their food.“

“The best Yemeni restaurant in USA I believe. Has the taste and smile of authentic Yemeni dishes. I highly recommend to any one visiting LA ..“

“Gorgeous restaurant! Aesthetically very beautiful and the food delivered!! We got the oxtail bao, crispy rice, Leona sushi roll, the fusion baked sushi roll with carbonara sauce, and cocktails! This place is the must in the valley! The outdoor patio is also stunning!! we will definitely be back“

“great food. Good service. decent prices“

“This is straight up my favorite Indian restaurant, and frankly one of my favorite restaurants in general. Every time we are in the area we come here for lunch. Been coming for years, and its still just as good as the first time we came. 5/5 definitely recommend!“

“All About Poke was a good Poke bowl experience, in my opinion. I had tried it before at other locations and remembered it being satisfactory for when I had a poke craving, and after a medium (three protein scoops) bowl I was again satisfied. Notably the salmon and tuna tasted quite fishy in some bites, and pineapple was the only standard fruit option besides mandarin orange slices (which I don’t want to try on poke, personally). But overall, they had most of the standard toppings like edamame, crab, cucumber, ginger, etc, their sauces were tasty, and they served a sizable portion of rice, fish and toppings all. All About Poke will hit the spot if you are nearby and need a nice fresh lunch.“

Great food, great service, and a really convenient dining experience. Definitely coming back!“

The food is absolutely amazing, but what really stands out is Luz, the owner. She cooks right in front of you and treats you like you’re a guest in her home, not just another customer.

“What an incredible hidden gem! We were craving Italian food and decided to check out Al Italiano. Walked in on a Tuesday night a little before closing. Eddie and the owner Robert greeted us warmly. The menu has some great options and we were indecisive what to order. Our waiter Eddie is a first class professional and answered all our questions with patience and in details. His recommendations were amazing. We ordered Eggplant Parmesan, Veal Piccata, Children’s cheese pizza, Salumiere pizza and their homemade Tiramisu. Everything was excellent and so tasty. The whole experience at Al Italiano was outstanding and unforgettable. Robert is a great business owner who actually cares and treats you like family. His whole staff is very respectful and helpful. The ambiance is very Italian and welcoming. We found a true gem! Thank you Robert, Eddie and staff! We will be back soon!“

“Fish and chips are awesome. Shrimp skewer is delicious. Good value for the price.“

“Great Sushi! Top Quality!“

“Great seafood and lively atmosphere!
Mariscos El Viejito is a great spot if you’re craving authentic Mexican seafood. The aguachiles and ceviche are fresh and full of flavor, and the portions are generous. The micheladas are also on point. The place can get busy, especially on weekends, and the music is loud, but it adds to the fun vibe. Service can be a bit slow at times, but the staff is friendly. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the mood for mariscos!“

“When I visit my mom in the valley, she enjoys going to Katsuya for lunch. I always have a smile seeing only Latinos making sushi behind the counter. Imagine going to a nice Mexican restaurant and seeing an all Japanese kitchen? Anyways, the sushi quality is good, not great. My moms favorite is the miso cod which costs double in Century City. I was told Katsuya is an independent chain and it's up to the owners the price they set“

“Some of the best fish tacos I had. Unfortunately, I forgot and always forget to take pics, but you will not be disappointed. The shrimp cocktail was pretty good, though they dont devein all the shrimp, which was weird, you can taste the difference in each piece. But overall pretty good food.“

“Great place for family meals… I was there on Sunday after church and there were no waits. Service was great and plenty of food. Plus, it was fresh and cost effective for the family. Totally recommend tbe
Place 🙏“

“Delicious food great service 🤤“

“Some of the best seafood I’ve ever had!!! My family and I usually order the shrimp cocktail, raw shrimp ceviche, fish tacos, empanadas, aguachile negro.. But you really can’t go wrong with ordering here. Everything will be delicious. They’re fast, quality of seafood is excellent, and they’re not greedy with tostadas or crackers for to go orders. Also not greedy with the amount of shrimp your cocktail will have unlike some places that give you three shrimps at best lol. One time we accidentally got charged twice for a pickup order and they refunded us super quick and were apologetic over the honest mistake. I can’t recommend this seafood truck enough!!!“

“Everything is delicious, made with love❤️ Clean, elegant, and delicious🤩😋 Friendly, helpful staff🌹“

“Absolutely loved Chez Mia, came here for a girls night and had the best time. The vibes were great — warm, welcoming, and full of energy. The food was delicious— every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. The staff were so attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. You can tell they care about creating a great experience for their guests. Highly recommend this spot — can’t wait to come back!“
