“This place for years has been my all time favorite. The service is unbelievably fast, welcoming and of top notch and respectful. The food is always fresh and the chefs you
Can tell are very passionate on what they do and the hold the Japanese craft to a high regard. I spoke to the manager he carries himself with his culture and pride very high. He is so incredibly kind and respectful. The restaurant really is a sight to behold and truly a gem in the United States. I drive an hour there without hesitation. As far as I’m concerned there is no place like it. Until next time 🙏”
“I loved the place! Been couple times and enjoyed their organic orange wine they had on menu back then (I think it was from either Austria or Germany? Seasonal wine)
And everyone was friendly and pretty fast with the service.”
“This place is AMAZING! It’s completely unassuming from the exterior; but the food and the service was way beyond my expectations! I truly wish there was a French restaurant like this in San Diego; I’d eat there at least once a week!!!”
“The artistic name of the bistro matches the artistry and delicious flavors of the cuisine. A threesome: vegetarian, vegan, and carnivore found a multitude of savory options. Our waiter/thesbian: Chris was charming and anticipated our every request. Foreseeing a return.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Absolutely fantastic for date night or literally any other dining event you might have!!!! Food was incredible especially the glazed pork belly and the brussel sprouts. AND dessert is an absolute must, everyone needs to try the bread pudding! Good price point for the quality of food and the cutest Mediterranean inspired design.”

“I just ordered for the first time today and I must say your food is fantastic! Generous portion with pickles and delicious soft boiled eggs, pickles, puréed fresh tomatoes and a small amount of hot sauce that isn’t too hot. Just right. Went to your place near corner of Van Nuys and Burbank. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED”

“Edit.. ok thank you so much! We really love this place and I know those picky kids will love it too once they eat some yummy food. OK, I love this place. But there really isn’t many options for kids. We went there when it opened one afternoon and they were all out of fried chicken. So my kids really didn’t eat anything. I think if you add like a hotdog or mac & cheese to the menu that would be so fitting and helpful!”
“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Casita! Brittany, the concierge, and our server Delilah provided exceptional, warm, and professional service that truly stood out. The food was not only delicious but also incredibly flavorful, and the atmosphere was simply stunning—inviting, elegant, and perfectly suited for a memorable evening. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed every moment. This was an experience to remember, and we’re already looking forward to coming back soon!”

“It was my first time visiting and WOW what an experience. The food was amazing, the music great and our server David was a whole vibe! So attentive, friendly and just all around amazing. Great service! Highly recommend.”
“Very pleasant and friendly atmosphere. I was welcomed with kindness, smile and appreciation. Very good and professional service. Food prepared to my liking. Good drinks. Attractive bar. Delicious soufflé. I celebrated Birthday. It was nice and festive.”

“I arrived last minute, feeling unwell and not in the best condition. Surprisingly, they didn’t turn anyone away who wanted a plate. It was genuinely the first time in a while that I felt truly cared for and ensured that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, was taken care of. To the hardworking cooks and chefs, and the dedicated servers, I want to express my deepest gratitude. All I wanted was a bowl of soup, but you went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a plate before they left, even as you were closing up shop. A special thank you to Almira and Jackie for their exceptional service.
I’m not one to leave reviews, but the family outside you served was happy, the full house inside was happy, and this girl with just a bowl of soup is happy. I genuinely believe that they deserve a raise. It’s time to have a conversation about it. Please make it happen. Thank you to the big bosses and owners for recognizing the hard work and dedication of your team. They truly deserve it.”
“This use to be one of my favorite locations. The service is fast, and the cashiers are always nice and professional. It’s also a very safe location but not a lot of places to eat outside like other locations. Overall it’s still a good clear restaurant with fresh food.”
“We don’t celebrate a single holiday dinner without AV Grill. The food is always fresh, perfectly grilled, and full of amazing flavor. Our guests love it every time. AV Grill has become our go-to for every special occasion. Highly recommend!
Thank you Arthur and Verab!”
“I asked my husband to find a cute + cozy Italian restaurant for Friday night dinner date, and we found what we wanted and more! Low lighting, but not so low you can’t read the menu. Quiet enough to hear conversation, but not awkward-quiet. And the service was top notch, nothing about the spot was pretentious, and the food was tasty. The owner (or maybe maître d’?) Vasak was so sweet and greeted us with a huge smile. He had us come to the back to taste all of the wines because I didn’t know which one I wanted, and he brought tiramisu on the house at the end of our meal. The whole staff was friendly and fast, and they all seemed to know the guests who walked in—big smiles, hugs, handshakes, “see-you-in-a-couple-weeks”. We got bow tie pasta with pink sauce and their house made gnocchi with pesto cream sauce; perfectly al dente and perfectly salted. I’m going to bring all of my friends!”
“Me & my husband go here regularly. Amazing staff, food is ace! real taste of home. We often go with our family and every time- food,drinks & staff have been spot on. The Tuck shop next door 🚪 OMG do not get me started we easily spend a small fortune each time. Because we know we can stock up & the price is reasonable. we actively choose to drive their rather than go online because it's about supporting other businesses & expats. This pub truly has an English atmosphere. Reminds me home UK & Ireland. THEY GOT CRACKERS IN! birds custard, every sweet you could want. if you are British & you are in LA. if you ent been here...are you even britsh?”
“Look.. there’s meh, good, damn good, and just wow. Bills is in the middle between damn good and just wow.
The food is just absolutely amazing. The burgers have this flavor you can’t find anywhere else.
Yes you have to wait a bit because the burgers are made from scratch, but it makes it that much better.
Easily one of the best burgers in Southern California”

“So happy when a Gino's opened up in the LA area! As a Chicago native, I've missed Chicago pizza a ton. Anytime I'm in the valley I swing by Gino's East. Of course, you can get deep dish, but tavern style is standard Chicago pizza in all its cheesy goodness and square-cut slices! Also highly recommend the mozzarella sticks! So crispy and cheesy, especially fresh in person at the restaurant.”
“Fresh fish and seafood, the restaurant is run by the owner. I've ordered many things on the menu, and nothing has ever disappointed me. From miso soup to chicken teriyaki plate, to skewers and appetizers - everything is delicious! They also have draft Sapporo and White Yuzu. With all that, the prices are very reasonable. My favorite mid-budget sushi place on Ventura blvd.”
“Lovely food, charming interior. We had carpaccio, lobster bisque, crispy duck, and potato crusted salmon. The dishes were all prepared very well. The fresh bread was quite good, served with harissa, etc. We very much enjoyed the nut tart served with vanilla sauce and very nice hazelnut gelato. Can’t wait to go again.”
“The dedicated staff at Pizzana deserves acclaim and appreciation. After a crazy night of delivery service fails, dropped drivers, unreachable Chow Now representatives, more delays, and remade orders, Kevan drove our order over themselves. It was a late Valentine dinner, not what we expected at all, but Pizzana made good on their end of the delivery and the food was great. The people at the restaurant were kind and gracious at every turn. Thank you Pizzana for being the best.”
“The bar at the Valley Inn is perhaps one of the best kept secrets in LA. Yes, it’s tiny but get there early, secure your seat and you’re in for a ride of the greatest cocktails served up by a ladies and gentlemen’s gentleman - the maker with the shaker, Bill. Seriously, make a friend of this guy and then introduce him and the bar to your favorite people - only your favorite people! The food in the restaurant is great but a tad expensive but the bar will become your new happy place. Bravo”
“Food was amazing even though i asked for no maple syrup yet they put maple syrup on my breakfast pizza. Please note this is not the place to come if your catching up with friends and family. They will and did kick us out after 1 1/2 hours despite a long wait for the food.”

“Fast shipped, accurate delivery status updates, protectively packaged, exquisitely artistically made with fresh top quality ingredients. How do they taste?...🤤🤤🤤 I highly recommend Maya's and I would definitely buy them again!!!”

“The food was delicious!! I got a bowl and I was shocked by how full it was- tzatziki, hummus, cabbage, rice, chickpeas, kale and chicken- the flavors were amazing . One of the best quick lunches I’ve had! Alicia and Daisy were also so sweet and helpful. I will definitely be coming back!”
“Everything here tastes wonderful. Whatever you order, you'll have a hard time finding a place that does that better. I live in OC but whenever I have business in the area, I make sure to pick up a drink and 1 or 2 pounds of coffee beans.
Also, I don't know if this is new or I was just not aware but they do teas too! Not really my thing but I had an iced mint tea the other day that was amazing 🤩
Oh and the people are awesome too lol can't leave them out 😁”
“Super delicious!! Friendly service!! Reasonable prices and cozy, trendy atmosphere. Definitely a new favorite comfort food spot ?Great spot for a get together with friends, family, or even a date!We had the Roti & Curry starter and Pineapple Fried Rice. The curry dip was hearty and creamy and paired perfectly with the crunchy roti. The fried rice was the perfect balance of fresh produce and indulgent fried goodness. It's the kind of amazing dish that leaves you feeling satiated but not bloated! All of my compliments to the chef.
Vegetarian options: Everything was Vegan
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options, dishes containing nuts clearly labeled”
“It’s hard to describe how great of a experience it is when you have Nashville Hot Chicken after a long day of work. Do yourself a favor and get the tenders and enjoy the sauce that comes with it. And if you leave a review they give you a cookie. Go there now and enjoy the spicy goodness each tender will give your tastebuds.”

“I ordered the patties and curry chicken from The Original Coley’s, and everything was amazing. The food was full of flavor, fresh, and clearly made with care. The owner was really cool and welcoming, which made the experience even better. On top of that, the restaurant itself is a whole vibe with great energy, great atmosphere, and great food. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to and recommending to others.”
“Now it is Osumo Sushi- the food is still just as good as it when it was run by mostly Japanese people. Jose and the others were super nice. First time eating since the change of ownership in 2020. Did time go by that quickly?? lol
Have been eating here for 7 years now -it is our favorite go to place when we have friends or family visiting from out of town, or a celebration.
The staff has always given us something for free- sake, mochi, or an extra roll.
I dislike fish, but decided to give it a go here. I am hooked! Pun intended!
The food has always been fresh, and the prices are better than you would find at most places. It is never very crowded, except for Friday and Saturday nights.
Everyone we bring to Sumo Sushi- even from other countries say the food is better than average.
It's the best kept secret in the valley!”
“The food atmosphere was great the food is always fresh and tasty unfortunately the customer service was horrible I tried ordering the combo that was advertised on the window the door and on 3 signs on the counter that the store does not do combos the person female presenting was not kind she was day dreaming while I was ordering so I was asked to repeat I told her it’s im it’s hot but the interaction was not pleasant . I was highly w”
“We always order Kinza to go. It’s always yummy and fresh. The staff are nice and the to go time is reasonable even when they are busy. We love their Rainbow Rolls! Even the California rolls are pretty good.”

“CV has been a staple for a long time. Great food, great drinks, great vibe all around. The food is usually really delicious but recently hasn't been as good as it should be (especially for the price). Overall, I love coming here and hope they keep everything high quality like it's always been!”
“This use to be one of my favorite locations. The service is fast, and the cashiers are always nice and professional. It’s also a very safe location but not a lot of places to eat outside like other locations. Overall it’s still a good clear restaurant with fresh food.”
“Really great local spot for a large party that we had for work. We ordered several dishes to share and I have to say, the ceviche was super fresh, the guacamole was perfectly balanced, not too salty, and the tacos were pretty decent. They have a really large space which looks trendy, though I did find it to be a bit dark. We were outside at a long table and there were plenty of heaters. Service was good and worked well for large parties.”
“Had steak and lobster with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Everything was delicious. Mel was our server and did a great job. It was my birthday and my grandson told the server. Next thing I know and Mel brought a dish with ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate syrup and strawberries with a candle in it. Great restaurant! Really enjoyed our time there!”
“I ate here before with my family a few months ago and we enjoyed the meal. I forgot about it, until my husband and I were looking for a different Italian restaurant than the usual ones we go to. I remembered Olivia, so we went on a Saturday night where it was considerably more energetic than before. Everyone was welcoming and we were lucky we made a reservation. The arancini was soooo good. It's very hard to find the quality that we experienced in Italy, but Oliva came very close. The Pasta Norma was delicious. The seafood pasta was also very good. The portions were plentiful and service was on point. This is such a warm and welcoming restaurant. I recommend it and can't wait to return.”
“I LOVE THIS PLACE!! The food is awesome and the service exceptional. I came in on a Tuesday, JUST for the Chicken and Waffles not knowing it’s a weekend item. They went above and beyond to make a special order for me. It was worth the wait. Also they make a special drink I came up with only at this bar. “The PhoenixSunrise Hot Toddy” its Makers Mark whiskey, hot water, lemon, lots of honey and a shot of Angry Orchard Hard Cider **brings out all the flavors! Ask for one next time you go and tell em PhoenixSunrise sent you! 🤗👌🏾”

“I have been hyping this place up in my head for months and it met every expectation!!!These are perfect. As a Greek I have high standards and these Borekas were some of the best phyllo pies I’ve ever had. I love the combo of jammy egg, tomato sauce and Pickles…so good & so good for you. Put that hot sauce in and dip away!!! You can also add a couple eggs for more protein if you want. A perfect meal.”
“What an amazing neighborhood bar!! I’ve been to the many iterations of this bar, and this is a Great place. Karaoke, games, tables and couches to sit on and hang out with friends, a pool table and outdoor patio.
I unfortunately didn’t catch the karaoke lady’s name but she remembered my name.
Celebrated my 19 anniversary with friends and we had a great time.
Super honest people there too- a purse was left at our table when we moved to a different part of the bar, and they had put our purse behind the bar. We will definitely be back. Drinks were a little expensive, but everything is going up in price. Worth it to have a cute neighborhood bar. It was a nice mix of straight and gay, young and older.
Thank you, Happy Rabbit! We’ll be back again soon.”
“Ive enjoyed this place every visit. The staff are extremely friendly always greeting and remembers your name and order being a regular. Theyre hard-working employees serving great, delicious food. Affordable, reasoning prices in these difficult times as for some owners. I love that the staff works with you, cooking your order to your liking. My favorite is the breakfast burrito wrap in a bowl with the eggs cooked sunny-side up as oppose to being scrambled in their dish. Fries are great. Onion rings are great. My favorite are the tate-tots (hash brown). Another great thing is most side items are fried in beef-tallow! A great alternative to seed oils which is important to me. Quality is outstanding. Can definitely taste it in the New York strip loin minced in the breakfast burrito. I love coming here for a quick bite and either the hot Americano, Iced coffee-drip and my new favorite, their sugar free Matcha Green Tea whether iced or hot. Staff puts a lot of care and effort in to their ingredients. Feedback was always welcomed by the staff in which are understanding. If your order wasnt made to your liking, they will gladly re-make it for you for a better experience. Thats great customer service! Very kind and considerate as well. Love pets? Always offers water for pet owners. Dragons and Dinosaurs? No problem. She will bring on the water. շնորհակալություն”
“Top quality fish prepared and presented beautifully, along with other sushi standards and several unique options. The atmosphere is minimalist, but the sushi, sashimi, and other dishes are anything but ordinary. From buttery salmon to terrific tuna, everything here is fresh, delicious, and worth a visit.”
“I stopped by this coffee shop this morning right when they open to get some hot chocolate. I was in the area and saw that this place open early. This coffee shop is in like an apartment or business plaza so there sign for free underground parking for a certain time limit.
I took advantage of that and parked there. When I walked to the coffee place, Bryant was just opening up. He was amazing and answered all my questions. I got a hot chocolate for myself, Bryant recommend the oak chocolate chip cookie and I got my wife her iced chai latte.
This place has indoor and outdoor seating. It's very nice and spacious inside. Bryant made my order quick. The hot chocolate tasted a little watered down but it was alright. The oat chocolate cookies was not my favorite. My wife loved her chai latte and Bryant put light ice without me asking.”
“This place is literally my favorite place to get chicken teriyaki out of any place. Including “fancy” sit downs, take out, literally just any place… the way the chicken tastes here is unbeatable and the price is amazing too. Could eat this place everyday and be happy.
Rating it a full 10/10 which I never do… highly recommend if you never tried it before.”
“las redes sociales tienen un potencial enorme...quise venir a disfrutar quizas parte de comida tijuanense...es una lastima que empleadas como esta echen a perder todo...pedí 3 tacos y una coca...y no me puso la coca en la orden...me hizo esperar el tiempo que quiso para darme mi cambio...mientras esperaba vi como le hizo mal otra orden a un señor con discapacidades...y argumentaba que no podía cambiar la orden hasta que viniera un manager...y no somos perfectos..lo se..pero la actitud es muy importante...al estar apoyando al sr en silla de ruedas...ella volteo hacia a mi y me dijo que no me metiera donde no me llaman..total..me voy decepcionado”
“I stopped in for an espresso and ended up treating myself to a muffin and a vegetarian burrito as well. I’m glad I did — everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The burrito was perfectly balanced and satisfying, and the muffin paired wonderfully with the espresso.
The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the overall atmosphere was warm, relaxed, and inviting. It’s the kind of place where you can easily sit back, enjoy your food, and take your time. I’ll definitely be coming back.”
“Order the Aguachile with extra shrimp. It was only $30 dollars for 2 people. So affordable and delicious and clean. I highly recommend you check this place out. They also have drinks and an awesome patio that is right on Ventura Blvd. I always find meter parking but just Park across the street at the shopping center if you can’t find any.
This is more than a simple taco stand it’s a full service marisqueria. My friend from Sinaloa which I consider a Mariscos expert brought me here and it’s delicious, excellent customer service. The waitresses are smoking hot and super authentic and delicious. I feel like I’m in Rosarito beach eating seafood here. So good. I highly recommend this place. This place is way too empty for the quality of food that they serve. Try the Aguachile. I asked for mild spice and they complied. I can’t handle too spicy. 🌶️”

“Such a wonderful vegan oasis in the San Fernando Valley! As locals know vegan offerings in the valley are limited compared with the rest of the city. I am so happy that I found this place I will be coming here often! Great food and atmosphere all around!”
