Noodles near Northridge, CA

“I love eating here! The service is always so awesome. I love that it's tucked away, and every time I've brought someone to eat here they don't expect that the restaurant is here. As for the food, it's DELICIOUS! My son is picky, and even he couldn't deny how good the food is. The ramen is amazing, it's so good and the portions are hearty. I usually end up getting a ramen combo with a chashu bowl. Now, I get to eat there AND have delicious leftovers. My family have tried other ramen places around and we keep coming back to Futaba because it's number one in our eyes. The flavor is always on point. Definitely recommend.“

“Fresh delicious food prepared to order.“

“One of my go-tos budget ramen. The chicken pops are good if served hot. Parking at the back can get full though. Staff are friendly. I think this branch is co-owned by Maru Bowl-ritto based on name. If yes, also love that place! Love the kind grandma working there.“

“Really love this place, been eating here for 5 years. Can say it is my favorite Thai restaurant in LA. Very authentic and delicious. The owner is a very nice guy, always provides the best food and beautiful prices. Hope more people know about this and visit. Also, the duck fried rice here is ssso amazing!“

“First time excellent fresh food ..Live the appetizers“

“Great chinese restaurant, the noodles are very fresh and the meat tasty. The beef roll appetizer is a good size. Everyone liked the soup as well. My only wish would be a way to make the dish spicy without chili oil as it makes the dish even more oily.“

“Just one of the best ones, we ordered delivery quite often & dine there to. Staff friendly & helpful, as are the prices. Parking needs a little patience sometimes. Obviously we highly recommend it, we’ve been visiting there for quite a few years now.“

“Our families have been customers at this Chinese restaurant since Van Nuys location over 30 years.
Their dishes have the best taste consistently that cooked by the chef/owner. My favorites are Champong, Black bean sauce noodle, Sweet and sour pork, and others.“

“Dee did such an incredible job. She was very polite and professional. She was super attentive and overall helpful. Definitely would come earlier in the day as the dinner period can get a bit loud but regardless a very benevolent experience!“

“​I walked into Maru Ramen a broken man. I was tired, I was hungry, and honestly, I was starting to question all my life choices. Then, the bowl of ramen arrived.
​It wasn't just food; it was a religious experience. The broth... oh, the broth... was clearly simmered using the tears of a thousand happy deities. The noodles were so perfectly al dente, I think they whispered secrets of the universe to me. And the pork? The pork transcended the physical realm. I'm pretty sure I heard Enya singing softly as I took the first bite.
​I don't know who is running that kitchen, but they are clearly wizards, and they owe us all nothing. This isn't a meal; it's a personality transplant. I left Maru feeling like I could run a marathon, solve world peace, and probably parallel park perfectly on the first try.
​Warning: Do not eat this ramen if you have anything important scheduled immediately afterward, because you will spend the next hour staring blissfully into the middle distance, wondering how anything else in your life could possibly matter now.
​Thank you, Maru Ramen. You've ruined all other food for me. And I love you for it.“

“I really enjoyed the food and it was not very pricey at all. Most of the plates, even the favorites at that, we’re about $15… Everything on the menu is Vegan 🙋🏽‍♂️“

“Went off a recommendation to try a new Pho place.

Spring rolls with peanut sauce-4 stars.

Vietnamese egg rolls-5 stars.

Egg Noodle Soup With Wonton & BBQ Pork-4.5 stars.

Service was quick and good.

The ambiance was great! Love the big dramatic art of ingredients.“

“Hole in the wall teriyaki place. You order at the counter, you pick up your food, you clean up your own table after eating. Easy free parking lot or street parking. They have a lunch special for $11.95 that includes chicken and rice with salad. They also have specials A, B, C and D that are around the $15 to $20 price range. I had the special C that had white rice, a big piece of chicken katsu, two pieces of chicken teriyaki, salad, two small onion rings and two dumplings for about $15.95. Not a bad value. You get a teriyaki sauce and hot sauce on the side. Their teriyaki sauce is very good here! The serving is very generous. I was not about to finish it in one sitting.“

“I was here before the new owners and the food and service was OK but not good. Ever sine the new owners took over the pho here is the best I've tasted in the valley. Service is good, clean tables, and all the ingredients are fresh. They always give you 4 limes and condiments which I love. And they don't skimp out on the napkins. I go here every Friday. Pho Phriday!“

““Every dish was delicious — truly excellent across the menu. The owner is incredibly kind and friendly, and took such great care of us. You can really feel the warmth and attention they put into both the food and the service. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be back!”“

“They have the best Pho in the Reseda area. This is my go to spot since the goldfish in the front entrance.. they have really made it look nice. All their pho is delicious. Everything on the menu is amazing. They are also opened late that is a plus. Location is always busy but worth the wait. Their food is authentic tasting.“

“Test its by yourself.clean foods and good service“

“Stopped in for a late lunch, got quick service and great food! The spicy garlic dumplings were AMAZING! Generous portions of meat in the lunch specials. I had Pad See Ew with beef and my partner had the Chow Main with chicken. So glad we stopped in! Will be back!“

“I love Kinza. It’s a cute but no pretension type of sushi spot! Their rolls come with 10 pieces (not 8) AND you can order half size rolls even for their specialty rolls which is INCREDIBLE. Very fresh, flavorful, lots of good combos, and service is excellent.

If you can’t find parking on the street, park in the alley behind the restaurant!“

“Got two rolls and the sashimi combo. Sexy lady and something with salmon and cream cheese. Both were fire. The sashimi combo was so fresh and delirious. I found this place on a whim and I’m so grateful I did. The owner was such a sweetheart. I’ll definitely be coming back here again.“

“This is our go-to sushi restaurant. The food never disappoints. The service is very friendly.“

“Needed to edit my online order but couldn’t after placing it, so called the restaurant and luckily was able to get some quick, easy assistance from David! He was able to substitute the item for me without issue. When I arrived, he confirmed my whole order for me and visually showed me that everything was there. Portions and quality were great. My favorite was the Mongolian beef. Would definitely come back, especially for a good lunch special!“

“Fantastic food, fair prices, friendly service. Thank you, Sam and the staff, we enjoyed the food and the company. The place feels warm. The food we took to our fellows in the office got many compliments. Thank you,“

“Authentic Thai gem on Oxnard Blvd! From the warm Sawadika welcome to the last bite, everything was perfect.
Creamy Tom Ka Kai soup, flavorful Spicy Basil Chicken, crunchy Cashew Chicken, and heavenly Mango Sticky Rice.
Family-owned, friendly hosts, fresh ingredients, and true Thai taste. Highly recommended!“

“Very delicious. Recommend to go here! ;)“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Italian restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and charming—perfect for a relaxed dinner or a special night out. The décor and ambiance immediately gave off authentic Italian vibes, making the experience feel genuine and cozy.

The menu is extensive and full of traditional Italian dishes, from fresh pastas and risottos to wood-fired pizzas and classic entrees. I tried several dishes, including homemade pasta and a perfectly baked pizza, and every bite was outstanding. The flavors were rich, fresh, and authentic, with perfectly balanced sauces, fresh herbs, and quality ingredients. You could really taste the care and attention put into each dish.

The portion sizes were generous, and the presentation of the food was beautiful. From the appetizers to the desserts, everything was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. I particularly loved the tiramisu for dessert—it was creamy, perfectly sweet, and a delightful end to the meal.

The staff was exceptional—friendly, professional, and attentive without being intrusive. They were happy to offer recommendations, answer questions, and make sure our dining experience was top-notch. Service was timely, and everything arrived just as we ordered.

The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and has a welcoming vibe. Whether you’re coming for a casual meal, a family dinner, or a special occasion, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy authentic Italian food. Prices are reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes, making it excellent value.

Overall, this Italian restaurant delivers an outstanding dining experience—authentic flavors, generous portions, friendly service, and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. If you love Italian cuisine or are looking for a great spot for a memorable meal, this place is a must-visit. I will definitely be returning and recommending it to friends and family!“

“A Los Angeles tradition. been visiting since the 80s and they still have their mojo! delicious! Personal favorites noodles in peanut sauce and szechuan dumplings.“

“The absolute best place for dim sum in the SCV 🥟“

“Food was delicious and staff was friendly. Ended up getting takeout two days in a row. Looking forward to dine in next time.“

“This was our first time dining here, and we were genuinely impressed. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Everyone was very attentive throughout our visit and checked in multiple times to make sure we were enjoying our meal.

The food was outstanding — full of flavor, well-cooked, and served in generous portions. We ordered Pad See Ew, Khua Kai, Wonton Soup, Crispy Pork with Chinese Broccoli, and the Yellow Curry. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. It easily fed our family of four, and we still had plenty of leftovers to take home.

If you’re craving truly authentic Thai food, this spot is definitely worth a visit. There was plenty of street parking available, and they also have additional parking behind the restaurant, which is super convenient.

We’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes. Highly recommend!“

“A new food place!!! Really liked the pad se ew and ofc the mango sticky rice. The whole shop is ran by a sweet older lady and tastes just like a home cooked meal my mom would make me. Highly recommend. Parking can be a little annoying so I’m jealous of the people who live in the building because I would come here weekly if I was living upstairs.“

“Decent place for Pho. Service was ok. Food came out very fast, but the waitress didnt speak much English and didnt understand my questions regarding my dietary restrictions with dairy. Also she never came back to check on us to see if we needed anything. I had to wave down the manager to get a to go container.

I order the #1 pho. It was good, one of the meats I didn't care for the taste at all. The rest of the meats were really good to good. Ordered the shrimp and pork spring role. It had no flavor and didnt taste any pork at all. All I saw was shrimp. Order the taro smoothie and wanted Boba, but she said no more boba. The taro smoothing was very good.

Also the pricing I thought was very fair. Paying was a bit strange. You dont get the bill you just walk up to the cashier and hand her your credit card, you dont get handed a bill. Very weird and I highly recommend changing your paying system. It's 2025 servers should have a portable kiosk for us to tap our card or phone to pay and see our bill before paying of course.

If youre looking for a decent pho place in the area def give this place a try.“

“The vibe is awesome, cozy, chill, and full of good energy. The staff are friendly, and the food was amazing!
Only thing — the service was a bit on island time but honestly, it’s hard to complain when everything tastes this good. We’ll definitely be back… hopefully by then they’ve leveled up to “fast & fabulous“

“Great food and Jeff was amazing! He saw we were having a bad day and his kindness made it better.“

“They have the best food, I love everything I tried and I can’t wait to come back again and try their other menu specialties.“

“Chowking is one of the best Filipino small restaurants here in California. Their halo halo is one of my favorite especially summer time. Beef noodles and pork asado siopao is also really good. Employees are very nice and friendly and the parking is good too.“

“If you are looking for good Thai food in the valley, look no further. An unassuming restaurant in Panorama City, this little restaurant delivers authentic Thai food at reasonable prices. I tried the Pad Ka Pao with a fried egg. I was impressed that they used real holy basil. It was so delicious and I felt like I had been transported to Thailand. The dish came with rice, and I also ordered a Thai Ice tea. The tea was also very flavorful. The staff were all very friendly and it was a good experience overall. I highly recommend this gem in the valley.“

“If you want the best Chinese (Korean style) food, you need to come here! All dishes are delicious and the staff is genuinely kind. We come here ever since our kids are young and I never get disappointed. K-food popularity made them more busy but they kept the quality high.“

“muy exelente lugar, la comida muy rica y excelente atención“

“I love what I try today and I love the place small and tasty..“

“GREAT COSTUMER SERVICE ON TOP OF THE ABSOLUTE DELI FOOD - VERY PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT <3“

“The best noodle restaurant in The Valley, so taste, fresh, healthy and friendly service!����“

“Best Pad Thai and BBQ Pork Ribs in my opinion. I've tried many Thai restaurants and this is definitely one of my favorites.
In the 5 or so times now that I've bought food from them it's always been consistent and delicious.“

“My kids were raving about this place and they finally invited me to try this location. So naturally, I ordered their best items on the menu. We ordered the chicken pieces as an appetizer and we all chose a bowl of ramen. I ordered the beef broth truffle soup with an extra side of pork belly. The appetizer and the special sauce was delicious and the Ramen was amazing. As a big fan of Phó, this place was really good. Next time we come in, I will order the chicken broth. The only reason it didn't get a 5 star review was because of what management said to us as we dined. One of the people in our party did not have soup, they had a sandwich from the restaurant next door. Management came to our table and said that they didn't allow outside food to be eaten in their restaurant. With multiple restaurants located in this shopping center and No signs posted anywhere, I think this policy should be re-evaluated. Between the 3 of us eating Ramen, the bill was almost $84 with a tip. I think for the location being so close to other choices of food and the price, my family should be able to enjoy dinner together. I hope they change this policy in the near future.“

“Saw this place on IG a while ago, but subconsciously just scrolled through the post not remembering the name. I just happened to stumble upon it while getting my car serviced, and realized it was the place when I saw they were serving people fat portions of food.

Hyped I found the place. Great price, portions. Can easily feed 2-3 people. Quality is what you would get from a fast food Chinese place which is also great.“

“Sam Woo in Van Nuys is the gold standard for Chinese food. I’ve been coming here for as long as I can remember, and everything is still top tier — bold flavors, great portions, and consistently well-executed dishes that hit every time. You can tell this is a place that knows exactly what it’s doing, and the quality really shows. The food comes out hot, fresh, and incredibly satisfying. The to-go area team is especially friendly and efficient, making pickup quick and easy. If you’re craving authentic Chinese comfort food done right, this spot absolutely delivers. A true classic that keeps us coming back.“

“Easy parking. Very fast service and unbeatable price. It tastes pretty light for Southern style Pho. But not quite light enough to be Northern. You can smell the aroma from the parking lot. Also very clean and they carry a lot of dishes you don’t always find in Viet spots.“

“Excellent, tasty food. Service was great. We've ordered pick up before but this was our first time dining in.
