Comfort Food Restaurants near North Hollywood, CA

“Small shop that sells donuts, burgers, teriyaki and other delicious foods. I ordered a combination teriyaki plate including beef and chicken. It was delicious, very plentiful and quick.
It was near closing time when I arrived but the lady who took my order was welcoming and while I was waiting for my food she gave me a chocolate donut. Although there isn't a lot of room they have a few tables inside and the atmosphere was nice. If you're around and want something quick, tasty and affordable I recommend checking it out!“

“Stay on top of the best that Long Beach has to offer with Long Beach Home + Living!“

“I stopped in while waiting for an appointment to grab a drink and a snack for the drive back. I tried their boba taro slushie and a cronut filled with Nutella my first time trying one and it was so soft, layered, and really delicious. The boba was made well, the place was nice, and they even have a full menu, which was a great surprise. I’ll definitely keep this spot in mind on my next trip.“

“So so so yummy. Please come to SF!“

“Another ktown classic which I’m so glad I finally got to try. Sul lung tang is such a comforting dish for me with the warm hearty soup. I got the mixed which came with brisket, flank, intestine, tripe, tongue etc, although you can customize it however you want. I topped mine with a generous helping of spring onion, seasoned with salt and paper, poured in my bowl of rice and proceeded to slurp the bowl till I could lick the bottom. Thinking about it makes me drool. Highly highly recommended!!
We got lucky and there was no wait when we arrived but by the time we were done eating, the line was out the door! Service is quick they only serve cabbage and radish kimchi for banchan.“

“Every part of the experience is stellar. Get there early for an outdoor seat. You can taste that the food is prepared with a lot of care - grilled meat, freshly charred veg, perfect rice, bright garlic sauce. It needs no adornment! The owner is a sweetheart as well. His son runs a very efficient operation from the front.“

“Pretty good option, I was so glad they have tons of vegan options! This is a great place
to eat if you are vegan but have a meat eating friend they have something for everyone. I just got a bahn mi but hope to come back for more. It tasted way better than the pic I took. Service was a little slow but supposedly they make everything from scratch.“

“Nick (community ambassador/server) and Brandon (GM) are what makes us consistently come back to this location. Their level of service, attentiveness and care is next level. They always elevate our experience, and you can tell they truly love what they do. We’re grateful for them and love our dining experiences! Highly recommend coming to this location.“

“The food at Star of India is excellent. They have a wide variety of vegetarian, vegan, and standard items, all worth trying. The service is prompt and the staff are friendly and helpful.“

“I was in LA a couple of weeks ago on business and found this spot the day before leaving and that's my biggest regret. Wish we'd found it the first day we we're there I'd have been eating there everyday. The food and atmosphere are excellent and a live DJ playing music we all grew up on (can you dig it ✊?). The purple (grape) kool-aid was a blast from the past fo so.“

“When we first entered the owner greeted us warmly. The cook was very polite as well. We ordered the fried soy and Korean sweet spice wings. They were very delicious and cooked crispy. We didn’t even have to say : “crispy please “. They really know what they are doing! We also ordered the beef bowl which was also flavorful and delicious. And to top it off, the owner gave us a couple of complimentary items as well! This was the first stop that my family of four made during our road trip from San Diego to San Francisco and we will definitely be stopping back on our trip back home in a few days.“

“After seeing a suggestion in a FB group, decided to give this place a try at around 3pm on a Sunday. The lady that rang me up had a welcoming personality and another lady delivered it with a beautiful smile! The menu options are affordable. the food was so fresh and the restaurant was very clean! My day started out ho hum, but with the amazing friendly service and great food, it made my day I left with my tummy and heart happy. This will probably be my new Sunday spot Appreciate Y'ALL!“

“Love all of this place, we lived in Portland and the Thai food there is delicious but this place has a different level of flavor!! The pork fried rice is delicious and the fried chicken special is soft tender and crunchy at the same time hahaha the Oreo fried dessert is the best compliment to your food. Not super sweet!
The spring rolls have tofu and shrimp super filling food with good taste. The price is reasonable for the serving size and the atmosphere is cute with tones of outdoors seating with shade and some in door options with AC.
Very recommended!“

“Absolutely delicious Indian cuisine. I dined in with the lamb tandoori tikkha with saag paneer, basmati rice, garlic naan, and a mango lassi. Everything was fresh and on point. The waitress was friendly and the ambience was clean with relaxing jazz piano playing. Highly recommended!“

“It’s slow to get your order, but that’s because it’s made fresh. If your in a hurry, take it to go. Otherwise, the chicken is excellent.“

“This cafe and Juice bar STOLE our hearts! A MUST when in San Diego and La Jolla. I mean, WOOOOWWW! We were able to sneak in a quick breakfast before our whale tour at the Little Italy location, and thank goodness we did! My only regret is not visiting every single day for their exceptional breakfast and high-quality juices! I ordered the All I Avo Wanted - Blue corn, waffle, smashed avocado, feta, shaved radish, over easy egg, chili flakes, hemp seeds, salsa macha. I mean, holy moly. The delivery was beautifully executed and built perfectly. The blue corn waffle was moist yet firm. My mother ordered the Shakshuka - another favorite dish of mine that WOWed. You can not go wrong with Parakeet. Thank you to the divine chefs and baristas - you made Parakeet the most beloved restaurant during our time in California!!!“

“hands down my #1 korean food joint! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“I love this place! I used to live nearby and i stumbled in right at opening time my first day. they have a wait if you're going at popular times. Small strip mall parking.

wow, i became a loyal fan of the cheonggukjang, which i never had before. The owner is kind, and it feels like we're being taken care of like I'm at their home.

i am not korean, and especially at that early time 10 years ago I was often the only non-korean... but when they saw me eating cheonggukjang not bbq, i got some nods of approval 🤣 One korean man came up to my table after i ate once and asked me how i know this soup because it's controversial with even koreans.

But i loveeee fermented foods. and honestly, anytime i was sick this soup made me better in a day. I miss living so close to it, i have to make special trips to go now.

I tell all lovers of korean food to go here!“

“Great dinning place to eat and the music So lovable ❤️“

“What a fantastic spot to enjoy authentic Korean cuisine! The Soy Sauce Marinated Crab (Ganjang-gejang), Spicy Marinated Crab (Yangnyeom-gejang), and Braised
Short Ribs (Galbi-jjim) were all absolutely amazing. The service was top-notch, and I’ll definitely be coming back here again!“

“Solid Korean spot near LACMA – great value and no misses

We were heading to LACMA and needed to grab a bite beforehand. Found this place with solid reviews, only about 15 minutes away, so we gave it a shot.

Walked in and it's cozy and welcoming – lots of Korean folks just relaxing with their soups. Always a good sign, right?

The menu is surprisingly affordable – seollongtang starts at just $13.67. We ordered a bunch and nothing disappointed.

- Kimchi and pickled radish – perfectly tangy and refreshing.
- Barley tea – genuinely the best I've ever had.
- Raw marinated shrimp ($8.21)– four pieces for that price? Incredible deal.
- Braised short ribs – highly recommended by other reviewers for a reason. Several big pieces, super flavorful, and even the tofu and radish underneath soaked up all that rich sauce.
- Beef rib soup – big ribs in there, no skimping. The glass noodles and radish were also delicious.
- Assorted seollongtong (#1) – tripe was clean with zero gamey taste, and the glass noodles absorbed the broth beautifully.

Everything hit the spot. If you're museum-hopping or just craving comforting Korean food that won't break the bank, this place is a great stop.“

“It is your typical mom and pop's Korean soup joint. The atmosphere is like a cafeteria filled with photos of the past, simple and clean. It has a small menu, but the soup base is amazing. The beef broth has tremendous amount of flavor, clean, rich, the beef and tendons are succulent. The soup is not seasoned (salted) so you can taste the original beef flavor, and you can add the salt as you like it. The simple meal for two is about $50. It was a great find for us.“

“The sound at The Mint is fantastic and there’s always a cool vibe from the crowd. It’s a wide room so you can see well from anywhere. Food is very good (I LOVE the cheesesteak sandwich and shrimp salad) and great drinks. So many popular musicians got their start there and you never know who’ll pop up on stage or in the audience. Really fun! Highly recommend 😄“

“Went today for my Birthday Breakfast with my Sisters. Huevos Rancheros was amazing especially the black beans. Spinach, Ham Mushroom omelet was delicious especially with the Hot sauce. Look forward to returning. Service was with a smile.“

“Freshly made empanadas is one the best in the LA county. Fantastic empanadas with fresh ingredients, flaky crusts, and great flavors. Friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere. They offer a wide variety of options for both meat lovers and vegetarians. Plenty of choices to satisfy every taste, making it easy for groups to find favorites.“

“Omg, my family and I are big on wings. We go to wingstop and to bww all the time. First time we tried Chic Wings and we are truly blown away by how tender they are and how good the flavor is! We got the 20 for $20 on UberEats, plus some jalapeño poppers. The jalapeño poppers were delicious, only thing is we said for the price of plus $5, for 4 small jalapeño poppers are, they should be more. I think 8-10 would be a better amount for the price. Other than that, I know we will be coming back over and over again! Can't wait to try other things on the menu!“

“Had the wild mushroom pizza. Absolutely delicious Fries were also delicious But the chocolate cake and vegan vanilla ice cream cream was to die for! Highly recommend“

“😋👍good food .and friendly staff“

“Fantastic food. And cocktails. And bartenders!“

“10 out of 10 completely. if you're looking for that chicken that just falls into pieces as you take a bite this is a spot to go to it is amazing and tender“

“(Translated by Google) Great service! The food is very well prepared / Great Service! Food is very well cooked and the tamales are delicious.(Original)Buen Servicio! La comida esta muy bien preparada./ Great Service! Food is very well cooked and the tamales are delicious.“

“There are four restaurants that share this space: Sumac, Habibi Burger, Saucy Greens, and Soupchu. Each is great.

Saucy Greens makes delicious salads. This place is great for vegetarians, vegans, and omnivores. The sumac vinaigrette on the falafel salad is refreshing. There are no bad choices on the menu.“

“Your sourdough bread is the BEST bread I have ever had. We finished off a whole round loaf in 2 days. I’m now in a mission to track them down when they are in the area so I can buy them out!!!“

“First time at this place and to be honest, their Dinuguan and Pork Sisig were absolutely delicious! The Dinuguan here is the best because all the meat is tender, there’s no fat in sight at all, and it’s’ very saucy and goes well with white rice! The Pork Sisig is good too since it’s not spicy and it tastes pretty sweet. Overall, the Sisig was tasty after all.“

“A 4 in one location! Loved the variety of the different type of foods! The soups were delicious, the smash burger smelled good(didn’t taste it was for my young son) which he said was good, the arugula salad so tasty and the pink power salad was indescribable(that good) definitely coming back again. The young lady who took our order was so kind too!“

“Good food fast service. Bronzed Aussi meat pies were ok. Beef was the best I would get that again and eat 10 , lamb was good . , a little heavy on the rosemary...I can still taste it 30 min. later , same for the sausage . The chicken musroom and bacon was bland.“

“is very good in the best restaurant it made me feel like I was at my own kitchen“

“QUALITY AUTHENTIC KOREAN FOOD AT KOREA TOWN. PORK NECK SOUP THE BEST“

“The food here was excellent, but the reason I’m taking the time to write this review is because of one of your employees.

I come from a serving background myself, and I’m also a business owner, so I tend to notice things that most customers probably don’t. Great employees are much rarer than people realize, and I genuinely believe this young man deserves recognition.

While I was there, I watched him cleaning around the beer and slushy machines. What stood out wasn’t simply that he was cleaning—it was how he was cleaning. He treated the restaurant as if it were his own home, paying attention to details that most people would overlook. There was a level of care and pride in his work that you simply don’t see very often.

At the same time, every 10 to 15 seconds he would naturally scan the dining area, constantly aware of the customers around him. His awareness was incredible. I never had to wonder where my server was or try to flag someone down because he always seemed to know when someone needed assistance before they even asked. That’s a skill that can’t easily be taught.

What impressed me even more was that the restaurant wasn’t particularly busy, and I didn’t see an owner or manager standing over him. In my experience, that’s usually when many employees slow down, check their phones, or simply wait for the next customer. He did the exact opposite. He stayed productive the entire time, continuously looking for ways to improve the restaurant and take care of guests.

To me, that speaks far beyond good customer service. It reflects character, integrity, discipline, and genuine pride in his work. Those qualities are incredibly valuable and increasingly rare.

I’ve been to many Korean restaurants, and it’s uncommon to come across someone who works with this level of professionalism and ownership. He’s exactly the type of employee I would want if I were opening a restaurant myself.

I hope management recognizes the value they have in him because employees like this are difficult to find and even harder to replace. He deserves to know that his work doesn’t go unnoticed.

The food was fantastic, and I’ll absolutely be coming back. But what left the biggest impression on me was watching someone who genuinely cared about doing an exceptional job, even when nobody seemed to be watching.

To the employee who was working so diligently that day (in the photo): thank you. Your work ethic stood out, and I hope you’re recognized for it.“

“Ordered takeout online and it was a real smooth and easy process. Food was ready on time and packaged nicely. Got the beef noodle soup with the flat rice noodle and the dry mix rice noodle. Both were really good. Staff was friendly at pickup. They have a very small parking lot, but I lucked out with getting a spot. It does look a bit run down on the outside, but inside looked nice and spacious.“
