“First time coming here & I will definitely be back! Came in at 11am on a rainy Sunday. Surprisingly the wait was 10 mins for 2 people but that might have been due to the weather. The food was incredible! I ordered the strawberry French toast while my fiancé ordered the omelette and both were amazing! It took a while for our food to come out but the service was otherwise great so I didn't mind. I'm coming back to try the rest of the menu!”

“Consistently fantastic. Been coming here monthly for 3+ years now, literally never had a bad time. Owner regularly chats me and my wife/friends up. All of the staff have been here for a long time and are super helpful. Great atmosphere, food is consistently good, and they always have a big selection of beers on tap. Can't go wrong with paragon!Parking: Easy. Plenty.Kid-friendliness: It has a bar but it's not rowdy or anything. My six year old comes here.Wheelchair accessibility: First floor, all flat”

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”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Don't worry about the line at the entrance or to order, it goes by very quickly, lots of service staff, the best pastry and coffee products, a must stop in Los Angeles.”
“Ordered the Stuffed Cheese and the Chicken Wrap. Both very tasty and full of flavor. The Stuffed Cheese had an herby, lightly salted and nutty flavor combined with the mellow white cheese wrapped in a soft dough. The Chicken Wrap was more crispy like a wood fire pizza, it comes with tomatoes, onion, cheese and pickle, very good middle eastern/Mediterranean flavor.”
“If you love pastrami's sandwiches, this is the place to try. I find the another famous spot in LA getting too crowded and I was recommended to Brent's by a local. The first pastrami absolutely delivers and this place is underrated for sure. You will see lots of local folks enjoying their brunch or lunch here at this spot. That's when you know it's good. The fries portion is huge ! You will definitely get full from it or you could take half of the sandwich to go. My coffee was topped off constantly and the service was great ! Whenever I am in this area, I am definitely stopping by again !”

“Very good ramen compared to many other local places nearby. Gyoza was especially good and highly recommend that. Service was very polite and the food came out very quickly. Highly recommend the place as a whole and will definitely go back!”
“Tried this for the first time, it was so so good. Love the amount of options they offer and the person who helped us was very friendly, talkative, and patient. He also made sure to let us know about the student discount which I appreciated.”
“What a neighborhood gem! The owner is sweet it made it even better. She explained the Yerba mate process and some recommendations. Loved the mango and maracuya (passion fruit combo). classic green tea has long been touted as the best detox beverage and matcha has been gaining traction in recent years among top trending drinks, yerba mate deserves aThe Yerba mate has an even higher polyphenol content than regular green tea, and the list of benefits don't end there including morning energy, reducing inflammation, helps with detox, protects your heart. Drink was refreshing and tasted delicious.Empanadas are so tasty get the arabe or the ham and cheese if you are not adventurous. Served hot and was so good.The ambience was very chill and relaxing. They have a few tables and even a couch area for a more relaxed setting. Definitely adding this to the rotation.”

“This is exactly what the SFV and specifically Northridge needed! Bop+Hago was on my way so I wanted to stop by for a snack but ordered a bit more than that! The cashier was very sweet and she was keeping an eye on customers and their orders to make sure everyone got what they needed. Maybe 5 minutes after ordering my bag was ready! I ordered two triangle rices - Salmon and Crab, along with a Spam egg musubi , which all came to about $13. I ate the musubi first and let me tell you, LET ME TELL YOU - this is one of, if not the best spam musubi I've ever eaten. The rice was perfectly cooked and well seasoned with furikake, the seaweed was crispy, the egg was fluffy and slightly sweet just like Japanese tamago, and that spam - slightly sweet, tangy, and so crispy! I thought it was a piece of schnitzel or katsu because of how crispy it was. That texture makes such a world of difference! For the triangle rice, the rice itself was again well cooked. I did not like the salmon as much as the crab because the skin left on some pieces were pretty fishy and overpowered the flavor. But the salmon itself was soft and the seasoning was nice. And the crab was like one of the best Calfornia rolls you could have! Creamy, crabby, and full of meat. I definitely need to return for more and to try the other dishes offered”
“Cute little fast casual place. The menu might be a challenge for someone who isn't very familiar with Indian cuisine. I was super happy with the plant based Chicken Tikka. The Naan was really good. Very good portions. Definitely want to come back and try more stuff.”
“At this restaurant, Alex handles the cashier duties with efficiency and friendliness. The dining experience is enhanced by the cozy ambiance and delicious dishes. With attentive staff and a varied menu, a visit to this restaurant ensures a satisfying meal and excellent service.”
“This was such a cute and intimate space with great food and service! The staff greets you as soon as you walk in and make you feel welcomed! The food was amazing and service was fast! Definitely returning soon!”
“Just wish that most of them would have some indoor sitting, especially for when it's night and you just want to enjoy ur ice cream in a warmer place than by the parking ”
“Great spot for an excellent meal! Accommodating staff makes it feel like I’m at a friend’s house for a good homemade meal. Don’t sleep on their specials- they make some great stuff from scratch.(Cash only!)”
“Such amazing food and wonderful service. We called close to when they were closing and they still happily told us they'd deliver. We thought the food might be dry or scraps because we called 20 minutes before they closed but no, we were so wrong. The food was super fresh, and the noodles were juicy and the portions”
“I was going somewhere else but the wait was too long and I am glad it was, because that's how I found this place. Way cheaper than other Cajun around here. Tastier, great service, beautiful decoration, TV and great music. I will definitely be back. Highly recommended.”
“Been coming to Shamshiri for 24 years. Love their food and ambiance. We order delivery for big family gatherings and they do not disappoint. Favorites: shamshiri beef plate, shamshiri chicken plate, mastoomossir, ghormezabzi”
“Food was great. Orange chicken and grilled bok choy was tasty. Large portions.Not sure what they are going for as fast atmosphere, kinda like a military chow hall. Metal cups? Odd.Had to ask for some items twice. Will return for those big portions, will have lunch for the next day.”

“Amazing food! Very fulfilling for the price, and their sauce is one of a kind. Jojo and Jasmine were amazing, made my day much better with their amazing service!”
“Vanilla cake with ice cream theme was just amazing. Staff and attention to detail is over the top great. Napoleon is out of this world good ! Thank you guys ! Thanks Tim ??”
“Located upstairs, the place is small, but the service was fast, the staff was attentive, and most of all, the food was good. We tried the Futaba Tonkatsu Ramen (spicy) and the Pork Katsu Curry, and we will come back for more.”
“I'm completely enamored! The interior exudes charm, the decorations and merchandise are delightful, and the music sets the perfect ambiance.It's a quaint and intimate spot for enjoying coffee. Their lattes are my favorite!”
“The Stand is our favorite go to place. Fun for the family, great food, fun atmosphere, and a great selection of beer & wine. The Havarti and Mushroom Burger is divine as is the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. We normally get the fries well done as they are then crispy on the outside and perfectly textured on the inside! Watching sports and guests is the best!”
“Today was my 1st time ordering at Leo’s. I ordered the hot hash bowl & it was so delicious I had to take it home! Parking is easy at this restaurant & the cashier gave me excellent customer service. I didn’t order a drink but he gave me a cold glass of water while I waited for my food to finish cooking. The cook is very special. She definitely knows what she’s doing in that kitchen. As society becomes more health conscious, I really hope places like these get more attention & customers. Being a small business owner myself, I hope Leo’s stays in my community & continues to thrive. I recommend you try this place. The food tastes amazing & the atmosphere is positive. Good vibes!”
“Favorite place to get our pho and sandwiches. I tried so many pho places but nothing beats this. The subs are great as well. Been going here for past 4 years, never disappoints.”
“Had the original Holdaak fried chicken sandwich with Daikon slaw, fries, and one original chicken strip. Very good flavor, and most importantly very moist and tender. We did DoorDash so not able to rate the atmosphere. Highly recommend giving them a try.”

“I went last night for my father's bday, and as usual it's still the best sushi restaurant I've been too PERIOD. I got the chance to meet one of the co-owners and had a great discussion with them! Everyone there is always kind, fast yet caring when serving any and all food and/or drinks. The food as usual is just top tier and has never not been consistently amazing each time. I URGE anyone who wants sushi to give them a call, reserve a table, and just enjoy. I can't wait to return. If anyone wants any recommendations, here are our orders (in order of when we place them). Again, this is just preference, everything is amazing. We are a party of 4 and DEFINITELY, can eat. First order: Edamame (plain, spicy, or both), shishito peppers, spicy tuna with crispy rice, extra ginger and wasabi. Second order: 1 order Tuna, salmon, and yellowtail nigiri, 2 orders of albacore(each order of nigiri usually comes in 2 pieces so keep this in mind), and a spicy tuna roll. Third order: Roasted jalapeño role, lemon role, creamy Langostino roll, albacore lovers role, and got sushi role.”

“Jedric and Ashley were absolutely fantastic, and super accommodating and offered to easily change my crispy chicken sandwich once I discovered it had milk, because I'm lactose intolerant. Even though they already made the food Jedric very kindly refunded me.While ordering, Ashley made me feel welcomed, part of the burger lounge family, and did great recommending things on the menu which motivated me to try the chicken tenders. Having workers with personality is super important.Precisely because of the great customer service, I will definitely be back.There is a great atmosphere created by the staff that work here, and the food was phenomenal. The food was incredibly tasty. Hats off ? to the cook and the overall experience and people that run this place. Very clean.”

“It was my first time here, although I'm allergic to everything from the sea except fish, which I only eat 3-4 times per year, I was able to find something that I could digest. The chicken tenders with lemon pepper fries are a must-have!! Coming from the Caribbean, the seasoning used for this dish is one I've never experienced. This plate can be ? so be careful!!!”

“Recently had Pizzasaurus Rex for the first time & got their pepperoni pizza w/ jalapeños and it was well worth it. Tasted absolutely delicious. I most definitely will return!”
“First, this is really a very authentic 1960's era cantonese ( & more) style good ole Chinese Restaurant. So, when you walk in, prepare to enter a time machine. Now the "young" gentleman who runs this place is very friendly & welcoming. We've been in the area for a long time & chinese restaurant shopping, as we LOVE hot & sour soup & the last few places we've ordered from were disappointing, so we had seen MK for a long time & ordered some take out. FANTASTIC.... good size portions... yummy egg rolls, DELICIOUS hot & sour soup, yummy bbq ribs, chicken chow mein & beef pea pods. Everyone's prices have risen, but the amount & quality for the price here makes this one of the best classic chinese restaurants for us !!!”
“Outstanding Chinese food! One of our top two choices in the San Fernando Valley!Parking: Plenty of parking, at least midweek.Wheelchair accessibility: Fully wheelchair accessible.”
“Enjoyed a fantastic meal at Bad Boys Pizza! The pizza, buffalo wings, and French fries were of top-notch quality, each bursting with flavor. Prices were quite reasonable for the quality and taste provided. Highly recommend trying it out for a delicious experience.”
“This is one of my favorite local Thai food spots in the area. The food here is really good, especially their pad Thai, yellow chicken curry, pineapple fried rice, and beef satay. While the prices are decent, the portions are quite small for the price you're paying. Additionally, the restaurant is tiny and tends to get packed, so expect to wait for a while. However, the servers are really friendly and fast. I would highly recommend this place for its delicious food and excellent service, but be aware of the portion sizes.”
“I saw this place a few months ago and I said I needed to try them out. I finally did on Saturday, and let me tell you the food was amazing! I have tried many Jamaican restaurants and the food here was by far exceptional, but what's most important is the energy I felt when I visited the Tampa Ave location. Jet Wing Cafe is definitely my go to now! The jerk chicken and veggie pattie's are delicious to say the least!..... GIVE THEM A TRY! YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED”
“Service, courtesy and food are good and they have the best & fresh aguas frescas of the area.I can see they have good combos andprices are reasonable. The jugos ?????????”

Sorry for no pix of food ... was super tired and forgot to take them once we were home.Vegetarian options: YupParking: YupKid-friendliness: YupWheelchair accessibility: Yup”
“Chile relleno to die for! I love to try chili relleno wherever I go. This is your basic El Torito. Yet, the chile relleno was the best I've ever had! How nice to find such a wonderful Mexican place that is excellent and affordable.By the way, the service was fantastic. Also the place is enormous so bring as many as you like! I watched the bartenders at work and they are professionals. They turn out more Margaritas than I've ever seen before!I am absolutely coming back here when I am in the Valley.”

“We went in for an early lunch. Got to the store about 5 minutes before opening. It was a little brisk out. The manager saw us out front and let us wait in the lobby to get out of the cold. Very nice and unexpected. Our server was pleasant. Started with the cheese curd appetizer. It was filling. Grilled salmon was cooked correctly fresh and flavorful. Tried the vampire spicy pork tacos. Ordered three. They were delicious and filling. Took one home, not good reheated. Craving for good ol fish & chips. Nice batter and flakey. Upgraded to parmesan fries. All meals were delicious. Recommend a visit.”

“I like this McDonald's location. It is clean, the staff friendly, and the food is consistently up to the standard of the franchise. It has all of the more updated McDonald's amenities including mobile app, in-person, or kiosk ordering. It has two soda fountains for those rush hours and it is geared to handle many customers quickly and efficiently. While I wish that they didn't have to put a lock on the restroom, I understand the necessity and the staff are always nice about getting right to it when requested. The location is convenient. The layout and decor is up to date. I will be visiting many times whenever I get the urge to live like Warren Buffet does.”

Takeout Restaurants
“Beyond delicious. Drove thirty minutes to get here and it was so worth it. The bulgogi was thin, slightly crisp, and perfectly caramelized. The setup comes with a delicious non-spicy kimchi, rice, japchae and fresh vegetables. Also got the k kimbap and tuna kimbap - both rolled with the perfect ratio of rice and incredibly fresh ingredients. I am so happy this place exists.”
“Delicious cookies as always. My kids love them and this location is super convenient since it’s so close to my job. Place is clean and they always have everything in stock.

I wish they allowed curbside though.”

Not a place to dine in although he has a few tables. In corner of mini mall between Shakey's and Hunan Chinese restaurant on Reseda a block off Devonshire.”
“Ike's has the best vegetarian subs around! Well, from what I've tried anyway. Few months back I tried their Freddy Krueger sandwich (not vegetarian) on their dutch crunch and it was great. The dutch crunch is delicious. I also tried their James and the giant peach recently and it'll be my go-to anytime I visit for sure! All the ingredients come together perfectly and the vegan fried chicken is good too! Their sandwiches come with a candy (caramel apple lollipops) and as someone with a sweet tooth, I love it. Service was good and my sandwich came out in a timely manner. It's a great place to grab a bite after running errands in the plaza.”
“This is the go to taco spot. I been coming here for a while now and they never disappoint. I tried their Carne asada tacos, asada quesadillas and asada burrito. The way they season the Carne asada is delicious and the red sauce that they give is the perfect combination. They now accept credit card but they charge a small fee if you use that. You can still pay cash or zelle if you don't want to use your credit card. The staff are very friendly and the guy working as the cashier is awesome. My wife also loves their food as well.Parking: They are on Balboa and Nordhoff, more toward the back of Burger kings so there parking spots there.Kid-friendliness: This place is kid friendly but they are near the main street of Nordhoff so just keep an eye on them.”
“Stopped in at this boba shop while I was visiting CSUN and it didn't disappoint. I got their passion fruit green tea with boba and it totally hit the spot! The drink came out pretty fast after I ordered.The food also smelled great, but I was in a rush, so I only got the drink. I'll have to try the food next time!”
“My friend recommended me this cafe and i immediately fell in love with it. The drinks are so good, it’s refreshing, enough sweet (i usually order half sweet for milk tea and regular sweet for tea). This photo is peach green tea with boba for a hot afternoon and its one the best ? ah and the staff is really friendly, she makes the best drinks ??”
“Family owned and run...the brothers always welcome you with a big smile on their face! Amazing selection of Mexican and American candy, ice cream, and much more. Prices are great too! Highly recommend”

“I've been coming here since it opened, the sandwiches and salads have always been delicious. I especially really love the turkey club sandwich. The service is always professional, but Annie takes the cake, she is very friendly and really makes everyone that comes in welcome. It's always a pleasure to see her behind the register. I wish more people had Annies personality, this would be a better place for all of us.”
“Consistently fantastic. Been coming here monthly for 3+ years now, literally never had a bad time. Owner regularly chats me and my wife/friends up.

“Really great tasting Mediterranean food! This is a great place to stop by for a nice to go order. The serving sizes are pretty large, especially for the bowls. I would definitely recommend the chicken and the beef. do note that the beef is beef lamb although you can't taste the gaminess of the lamb. The fries are good as well with the pickled onion. Give this place a try if you would like some great tasting Mediterranean food.”
“Got here as they were opening after searching sand which shop, it's a hidden gem deep in a plaza. Got the large special sub and man is it good and so much food. I ate half and had the other half later it was so much. Will be coming back to try the other subs.”
“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”
“We wanted to try a new place and this was a great choice. Had the fish tacos, AMAZING!! Had the pulled pork nachos, also AMAZING!!! Of course we had drinks. Wine isn't the right choice, but they have a variety of beers. Had the michelada and my lips are still a bit spicy. Super yummy. I would recommend this place to friends and we will be back.”
“Great service and good food. Most of the time, sushi/sashimi are fresh and delicious. Perfect amount of rice in my opinion. Rolls are bit too sweet for my tastes though.”

The employees are also very nice and I love not having to worry if my order is correct. They have always been very good at taking care of that.”
“I had the zucchini and grilled chicken sandwich with avocado. It was delicious. At first, when I saw the menu and said 4 zucchini, it was strange. Then I saw the size of them, wow. You get an actual whole zucchini, cut lengthwise.As for the sandwich, I had had it before and remembered how delicious it was. It wasn't until later that I remembered sharing it with my sister! So I brought it home and put half away in the fridge for another day. Warmed everything up in the air fryer, and it was still the ?? best.Parking: I actually didn't park, I went through the drive thru. It's a little bit of a wait, but well worth it. Yummy ?”
“Ordered the Chinese chicken salad. Mashed potatoes and the coconut cookie. Everything was delicious, the order was made quickly and the service was good. They really have turned the restaurant into take out only. I miss the pre pandemic days when we could eat inside, I know they save on labor by not having as many workers but it was such a nice dinning experience.”

“Stopped in for Blizzards. One of the employees had a hurt arm. She powered thru our 4 orders. One was a banana split. Fast and awesome. Most people would have stayed home. Didn't get her name, but as a former restaurant manager, I wish all my employees had this attitude and work ethic. You all are lucky to have her. Didn't complain, and was a pleasure to see this. Won't embarrass her and take a pic....”
“The food was delicious, and the customer service was great, BUT the wait time was/is long ( waited 20 in line & 10 for food). The layout of the dining area doesn't accommodate the volume of customers coming in to order or dining in, specifically the seating area right in front of the register no one was able to use those tables because the line blocked the area. THE FOOD IS GOOD. If you heard the hype about Canes, they're not wrong.”
“Public bathroom friendly staff. Apple pay accepted. No Ebt accepted here. Sometimes very fast food! When ordering in drive Tru. Unless you need a minute, then everyone is waiting. Recommend going inside for dining it's clean inside. Dessert is always available. Lunch is always available. it just needs time to cook in the morning during breakfast!”
“My boyfriend and I find ourselves here at least once a week, our heart belongs to the double chicken tostada salad and the BRC (beans, rice, cheese burrito). He grew up with it, and introduced it to me when I moved here, and I've never looked back. Sometimes I also just love getting the chicken meals alone, I wish I knew how to make chicken like they do. And for dessert, you have to try their churros! PS, please consider bringing back your ranch dressing for the salad, we miss it”
“We went to celebrate a birthday we were a party of 15. I highly appreciate the accommodation for a large party! The food was good but meat was a bit overdone. I suggest if u want medium ask for medium rare. But the main reason I am writing this is because of the exceptional service! Lily our server was amazing she was attentive and kind! You don’t find such exceptional servers anymore!! She is a GEM take good care of her! Lily thank you so much for everything ?”
“I've been going to this Taco Bell for several years now. I have to say that they have really stepped up on service. I used to get my order wrong or incomplete a lot of time. However, in the last couple of years. Not a single error. Orders come out perfect!”
“I enjoy trying out hole-in-the-wall type of places and this was a good find! I can't say if they're authentic or not since I haven't had much Salvadoran food before but I liked most everything I've tried so far. Their pupusa with curtido and salsa is so good! Personally didn't love their tamal de pollo but their tamal de elote was pretty good. Since they are a small restaurant they have been out of things I've ordered a couple of times. It does tend to take a while for your order to be ready so ordering by phone is a good idea. Also, they have a special every weekday which you might want to take advantage of. One thing to note is that though it's not posted anywhere, they charge you $1 for paying with card. Parking lot is kind of small and a bit cramped but there's also street parking close by.”
“First time visiting this restaurant. The chicken sandwich was delicious. The waffle fries were great. I'm impressed that you not only offer recycling, but compost as well.”
“Maria's is always the best! Tonight we had the "Roasted Chicken Famiglia" Cooked to perfection! Veggies were fabulous! Valerie is the friendliest, sweetest server, always makes us feel welcome! Always feel like family here! Maria's is a warm and quaint restaurant. Apple Crumble for dessert was awesome!”
“This place has such delicious and soul-warming Korean food. We stop by here often when driving to or from LA to SF. You can’t go wrong with any of the noodle soups, and the banchan are all so flavorful. The woman who served us was also very kind and gave us a bit more kimchi to take home with our leftovers.We can’t wait to come back in the summer to try their cold noodles.”
“Haven't been here since I was a kid so that sums up about 20 years ago and the changes they've made in my opinion have been nothing but pure excellence. That's also not to say things weren't excellent back then because common let's face it , as a kid those high rise tunnel slides and that massive ball pit were everything. I get it though, times have changed & we were hit by a world wide pandemic so those things had to be removed & replaced. Nevertheless, the upgraded version of the place is still outstanding.”

“Delicious variety of ice blended, fresh, flavored, or milk teas, fruit juice, yogurt, latte, or hot drinks! There are plenty of toppings to choose from and you also have the option of adjusting the sugar and ice levels for each drink as well. Service has been friendly and helpful in answering questions and providing great recommendations! We enjoyed the jasmine green milk tea, lychee black tea, winter melon milk teas, golden boba, lychee jelly and coffee jelly. Place is spacious, with cute decor and plenty of indoor table seating and bar seating by the windows. They are located by Mochinut with plenty of parking spots in the lot.”

“There are many Korean food dishes. In the food court, there are other Korean food restaurants next door to choose from (jajangmyeon, Korean-style bibimbap).I ordered a beef bone soup, barbecue, and spicy tofu pot here.The beef bone soup can be seasoned with salt, and it is very delicious!You can enjoy authentic Korean cuisine for about US$20 per person!”

“Everything is very delicious, the food is Mazatlan Sinaloa style, we always buy the breaded sushi, Aguachile Negro Tacos Gobernador and the Empanadas, all very delicious. The owners are very friendly and take care of you as it should be. 100% ”
“It's a place you drive by and not even notice. But it's definitely a place you should stop at. The food, price and portions are great! I had sweet and sour chicken, rice, noodles, and orange chicken. It was so good and made probably 3 meals for me. Will be coming back. Thank you!”
“Really great restaurant. It was my first time ordering and the cashier was so sweet and helpful. It's really nice to come in to a place where the workers have a smile on their face and greet their customers and make them feel welcomed. As for the food, it was delicious the chicken laffa wrap was so good and filling. The fresh laffa was nice and warm and the ingredients were fresh and went really well together. I will definitely come back again.”
“I've worked close by this restaurant for the last few years and have never tried the pizza. The day finally came and I ordered a pepperoni pizza and a chicken parm sub to share. The pizza I absolutely loved. It was fresh, cheesy, and had great taste. The sub wasn't the best I'd rate it 3/5 . Service was quick and friendly, and the store was clean and easy to order. Great pizza spot!”

“The “BEST” Filipino Restaurant in California…All chicken and beef meals at this restaurant are the BEST. The meryenda such as Halo-Halo, Hopia, Empanadas and Ginataan are So Unique and Amazing!”
“Falafel Palace has been here for 52 years. Same family ownership. Gina is a wonderful person. She greets you with sincerity and guides you through the menu if you have questions. Pride in ownership is evident. I used to go here years ago. We finally made time to revisit. The food was wonderful. I had the lamb gyro with double meat (my favorite). Tender, seasoned just right. Tzatziki and spicy sauce onside. Mom had the falafel in pita. It was huge! She enjoyed it so much that she couldn't put it down. My wife had chicken shawarma. Again seasoned just right and tender. Humus, awesome. We were so stuffed. Had to take a baklava home for later.I suggest stopping by and taking a break from your burger routine. It is great to support a local family run business.”
“Love this place. I still have yet to be disappointed in anything I've had here. This place is always busy and since they make things fresh for you it can get kind of backed up. I'd suggest calling in your order first. The 2 ladies up front were the most amazing. Thank you!”

“Very good! The service was friendly and great--very helpful in helping us decide what to order. The goat taco was surprisingly good! Enjoyed the shredded beef empanada, which was huge and topped with avocado and lettuce. We ordered the horchata- which was yummy. They gave it to us while we waited for the food (it was a hot day), and then topped it off for us when the food came! They do have small chairs to sit on and plenty of shade. Highly recommend--we will go back.”
“This location is very close to CSUN, which means it gets very packed! We came around 7:30 on a Sunday, and there were no open tables available! We waited about 15 minutes for a table for three people, which wasn't bad considering how many tables were full and how few employees there were working at this location! We were told how to order through the QR code, but we quickly realized that it didn't allow for us to remove certain items from the hotpot! We were able to ask one employee for assistance, and he was extremely helpful! He took our order for us and helped us customize the hotpot bowls to our liking! It took about 10 minutes to receive our food, and they were huge portions! We all got the healthy veggie options with different broths and spice levels! The flavor was delicious, but there was way too much cabbage in the soup! It made it difficult to find the other veggies that had fallen to the bottom of the bowl! Overall, the meal was delicious, and they have some tasty sauces to customize the dipping sauce to your liking! I was able to take some of the hot pot home to have as another meal at home! I will be coming back because of how friendly the staff is and how delicious and comforting the meal was! It was easy to have a conversation and still enjoy a quiet meal if that's your preference! Be prepared to wait for a table during busy hours!”
“Northridge Eats is one of the BEST places I have ever gone to. My son loves the Bellyful chicken. He said that he loved the seasoning. and my daughter said that MEEDEE fried rice was soo good. I wish something like Northridge Eats opened in London.”

They have many different types of coffee and tea to choose from and on display. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about their products.

“Very good ramen compared to many other local places nearby. Gyoza was especially good and highly recommend that. Service was very polite and the food came out very quickly. Highly recommend the place as a whole and will definitely go back!”
“Such amazing food and wonderful service. We called close to when they were closing and they still happily told us they'd deliver. We thought the food might be dry or scraps because we called 20 minutes before they closed but no, we were so wrong. The food was super fresh, and the noodles were juicy and the portions”

“Chile relleno to die for! I love to try chili relleno wherever I go. This is your basic El Torito. Yet, the chile relleno was the best I've ever had! How nice to find such a wonderful Mexican place that is excellent and affordable.By the way, the service was fantastic. Also the place is enormous so bring as many as you like! I watched the bartenders at work and they are professionals. They turn out more Margaritas than I've ever seen before!I am absolutely coming back here when I am in the Valley.”

“Tried this for the first time, it was so so good. Love the amount of options they offer and the person who helped us was very friendly, talkative, and patient. He also made sure to let us know about the student discount which I appreciated.”
“Ordered the Stuffed Cheese and the Chicken Wrap. Both very tasty and full of flavor. The Stuffed Cheese had an herby, lightly salted and nutty flavor combined with the mellow white cheese wrapped in a soft dough. The Chicken Wrap was more crispy like a wood fire pizza, it comes with tomatoes, onion, cheese and pickle, very good middle eastern/Mediterranean flavor.”
“Meet a girlfriend after work for dinner. It was cool and rainy that day. The waiter was very tentative and courteous. I had the two bowl soup - split pea and tomato I believe. We shared some egg rolls which were very different and tasty. If you haven't been there in awhile I would recommend checking them out. They are giving customers a card to win something, it can only be opened by a CPK manager. They do have an expiration date on them.”
“Always love going here! Went last Saturday with some friends and was served by Eliza and Eric. They were amazing. They were constantly making sure we had everything we needed. Food came over fast and was absolutely delicious. Will be coming again for sure”
“This is exactly what the SFV and specifically Northridge needed! Bop+Hago was on my way so I wanted to stop by for a snack but ordered a bit more than that! The cashier was very sweet and she was keeping an eye on customers and their orders to make sure everyone got what they needed. Maybe 5 minutes after ordering my bag was ready! I ordered two triangle rices - Salmon and Crab, along with a Spam egg musubi , which all came to about $13. I ate the musubi first and let me tell you, LET ME TELL YOU - this is one of, if not the best spam musubi I've ever eaten. The rice was perfectly cooked and well seasoned with furikake, the seaweed was crispy, the egg was fluffy and slightly sweet just like Japanese tamago, and that spam - slightly sweet, tangy, and so crispy! I thought it was a piece of schnitzel or katsu because of how crispy it was. That texture makes such a world of difference! For the triangle rice, the rice itself was again well cooked. I did not like the salmon as much as the crab because the skin left on some pieces were pretty fishy and overpowered the flavor. But the salmon itself was soft and the seasoning was nice. And the crab was like one of the best Calfornia rolls you could have! Creamy, crabby, and full of meat. I definitely need to return for more and to try the other dishes offered”

“If you love pastrami's sandwiches, this is the place to try. I find the another famous spot in LA getting too crowded and I was recommended to Brent's by a local. The first pastrami absolutely delivers and this place is underrated for sure. You will see lots of local folks enjoying their brunch or lunch here at this spot. That's when you know it's good. The fries portion is huge ! You will definitely get full from it or you could take half of the sandwich to go. My coffee was topped off constantly and the service was great ! Whenever I am in this area, I am definitely stopping by again !”
