Asanebo
“I've been to many sushi restaurants/bars in the valley. Asanebo from my experience is hands down the best sushi you can get. The service is immaculate, the best I've ever had at a sushi spot. I wouldn't be able to tell you something bad I've had there. Been going for a while now and everything is great.”

“Top of the line product, Top of the line service. You can definitely taste the quality wagyou meet. this is all different experience compared to your regular Shawarma stand. Yes it's pricey but it because of the quality. Absolutely worth a chance. Don't forget the free coffee in the end.”
“Good priced for the omakase and good quality! We got the $80 omakase and a delux Chirashi bowl. The fish was fresh and tasty, also great presentation. Service was good and fast. Will def be back again!”
“Amazing Bao & Yellow Tail Roll!!My goodness ?The staff & service is always top tier. I recommend Leona’s if you want a calm, romantic dining experience outside of LA.”
“Nice food. Friendly staff. I am a repeat La Mirch Studio City customer. I asked for Chicken Tikka Masala with sauce on the side. I was charged $16 for the chicken tikka and $9 for sauce. I was not so happy about that. If you make chicken tikka masala, don't you make it fresh then add sauce? Why then is a $17 entree becoming a $25 entree? It does not seem good to me. I enjoy the food but this was not a happy experience to pay $9 to simply ask for sauce on the side. Please explain. Thank you!”

“Pretty good! I would go back to share with my other crew. Your fresh pasta dishes are good! The lobster pappardelle is really good! I want an order to myself! haha. Your mushroom fungi trecce is good. I don't like creamy sauce but this one is good. Hard to find a good bolognese pasta, but this one is good. The hamachi is good, nice tempura element. Lobster roll is excellent!! The family loves the lamb chops!! I am not a dessert person but your sticky toffee pudding is good!!”
“I hadn't been in years and remember loving it when I was younger. It didn't disappoint when I went back but we still had a 15 minute wait, even with reservations.Vegetarian options: Soup, veggie rollsParking: $10 valet”
“Visited Uovo in Studio City for the first time and tried their tasting menu. The truffle pasta was amazing, seriously good. The pomodoro was just okay, didn't impress much. But the Tiramisu? Wow, I'm not even a big fan of Tiramisu and it left me speechless. Worth a visit for sure.”

“Amazing sushi in bright, homey environment- loved the rock shrimp, citrus roll, and truffle salmon! Miso eggplant was a good and unique choice. Would highly recommend!”

“This is a cute ramen spot that I come to often. I would say I have had better ramen at other places but the ambience and service is great. I like the crispy tuner appetizer that they have.”

“Amazing food! Loved the Coconut Shrimp!!! My family little girls loved their Steak Taco, and Chicken Tacos. We will be back next time we are in town. *recommend parking across the street for free parking.”
“It was a little dark at the table and the light that was there was a little distracting. Overall the food was great and the service was great! Have to go back to try the cheesecake though cause they ran out.”

“Not sure why the incredibly high reviews. I would do 3.5 if I could but the atmosphere was really nice so bumped it up. It’s a cozy cafe in a cute area, seating is great. Food was fine— not super expensive, but for what it was, a little more costly than I’d prefer. Definitely not memorable, but tasted fine; cappuccino was meh. However, I’d come back just for the vibes since it’s a good place to catch up with friends etc. and I’d be interested to try a different menu item!”

“We had an amazing time eating here!! The food looked so good, we wanted to order everything but ended up getting the Mushroom Ramen and the Fried Udon. Both dishes were DELICIOUS and had a nice spiciness. The ambience, cute interior and service were good too - overall a great experience. Would really recommend!”
“New ownership has completely changed this place! This is now a world-class European bakery with croissants, danishes, muffins, sandwiches, and brunches. Just one look at the lamination and you'll know these guys are the real deal!”
“Visited Uovo in Studio City for the first time and tried their tasting menu. The truffle pasta was amazing, seriously good. The pomodoro was just okay, didn't impress much. But the Tiramisu? Wow, I'm not even a big fan of Tiramisu and it left me speechless. Worth a visit for sure.”
“This is by far and away the best pizza in LA! We pilgrimage from the beach to Papa Vin’s pizza oasis. All the ingredients are made fresh in house. It’s all run by the friendliest family. Do yourself a favor and dine in to experience it piping hot straight from the oven. ONLY CON: all other pizza is subpar after eating here.”
“My first time at Vintage and I loved it! The team there aims to please and such a pleasure to interact with. Some unique, interesting wines and food/theme nights throughout the week. I'll be dropping in again!”
“This has been a favorite of mine for over 15 years. The pepperoni pizza is the BEST pizza in town. 2 for 1 Happy Hour is great. If you like sports they have every game playing on so many TVs! Great bartenders and servers. It's an awesome place !”

“Every time I visit LA I stop by Spitz for a Mediterranean falafel wrap and half and half fries. It is always consistent, fresh, flavorful and filling. I crave the falafel wrap when I'm back home on the East Coast but haven't found anything that compares.”
“So far I tried 3 different types of smoothies and I like em all , and the girls that work there are so nice , always a smile when they greet customers which is a plus for me .”
“I went there after 11 o clock to satisfy some late evening munchies and was psyched to find out all their baked goods are gluten free, and they use organic ingredients. For a gf cupcake it was especially rich and satisfying! I should have taken a picture but I was busy!”
“Mantee is one of the best Armenian restaurants in studio city. The service is always on point and the serves have great knowledge of the menu. Some of the must haves are fried cheese, mantee, yogurt, the filet plate is to die for. If you want good Armenian food you must visit here. @”
“Today for lunch, my colleagues from the office and I decided to come to this wonderful restaurant! They joined our tables together, and while we were waiting for our order, they brought us some quick appetizers. The main dishes we ordered were very delicious, all the food was fresh and excellently prepared! The atmosphere in this place is charming, with beautiful views from the large panoramic windows. We definitely recommend this place! ????”
“Solid American Restaurant serving up good burgers and drinks!They have a solid tap list for beer!House chips are crunchy and addicting.Their fries are crispy and solid with the aioli sauce!Burgers are supposedly American wagyu! It was a nice melt in your mouth patty. The toppings are something serious. Amazing bacon, pretty good mushrooms, delicious camerlized onions. It tasted even better in the toaster oven the next day.Service was good, they were busy waiting many tables. Donavan was helpful and attentive.Nice interior decoration. Good feelingI would come back again for the burger and beer!”
“Nice little breakfast spot, there's dining inside and outside. I recommend dinning in their patio which is around an alley due to it's incredible atmosphere. The portions and price is very reasonable, I would be coming back!”
“A+ 5 star coffee ! I love this place. Great energy , great coffee and the owners/workers are so personal and inviting . The location is easy to find, the interior is nice with a lot of seating only con is it's hard to find parking sometimes but it's worth it for great coffee .”
“Delicious fresh and very high quality Mediterranean food. We get their beef and chicken kabobs - both are fantastic and always cooked perfectly. Never had a bad meal here!”
“The service is impeccable. The food is delicious! Such a big menu for such a little place. Great traditional Japanese comfort foods! Plus, it has an amazing choice of sashimi, rice bowls, udon bowls, and poke bowls. If you're a lover of all things Japanese, this is a must try! I highly recommend Daichan!”
“Came in this Saturday morning and got treated with some amazing customer service from the staff. We were recommended by our barista to try their home Laurel latte. 10/10! It was great. Slightly strong, but very good. The places ambiance was aesthetically pleasing and room to even study or for some banter with friends. Definitely coming back!”
“Ramen Chef Kei is a highly skilled and very talented chef and the valley is lucky to have such plant based food of this caliber being offered. The yuzu sesame ramen is extraordinarily delicious, full of depth and flavor! The fresh yuzu really brings all the flavors out in the dish and I loved it! This is a spot to drive out of your way it's that delicious. Go now, thank me later!”

“My daughter picked this place for brunch on her 21st bday. just a small group of her favorite people. They really went out of their way to make us feel welcome and the food was amazing. They really made her birthday brunch great.”
“This is what happens when you support shitty businesses like Tendergreens studio city. Mazza actually had great food, nice ambiance, kind staff, and good music too. They didn't deserve to close! We need to do better. Never forgiving this community for actively supporting the business next door that has numerous health issues and bad service. I hope Mazza can come back one day.”
“This is right next door to the Write Off music venue. It is a pop up business where you can watch them make handmade tortillas, cook your food, and it is DELICIOUS!”
“Always a great choice when you're in Studio City. A tavern feel indeed from the second you step in. Wood covers floor to ceiling all washed in a warm light. The seats at the bar are usually taken up, but it's because it just has a feel good, neighborhood hang vibe. Menus are all over the walls, listing food, a decently sized beer list, and some wine/cocktails. It might take a minute to get your order in; it's "order at the bar only", so be patient with the bartenders as they juggle their multiple job assignments. We always seem to order from the small plates menu, just so we get a little bit of everything. Fried chicken sliders, chorizo sliders, Brussels sprouts, and pork belly skewers are our regular go-to's. Grab a table inside or post up outside on the "patio"; the empty lot next to the building has been converted to an open air hang, complete with picnic tables, heaters if it's cold, lots of hanging greenery, and even an Air Stream trailer (where you can order drinks depending on the season). Find street parking or valet for $10.”
“So far the best butter chicken I've had is from this restaurant. That's really the major reason why I visit this restaurant because the butter chicken is so delicious. Also like their mango lassi and garlic naan as well. For anyone new to this restaurant those are the items I recommend getting from here. The food can be a bit pricy ”
“This place is the absolute best!!The prices are good and the food is delicious. The breakfast burrito is wonderful and I love the Fiery Skillet!! I am never disappointed and Ruben and Aleccio , the owners are always there with smiles making sure everything is perfect.So sad the golf course is closing BUT...the food lives on! Cafe Southwest will have a truck at Beeman Park that will start in May!”
“I’m not a fan of sushi, but the food in this restaurant was really great. Went here with a friend of a friend who knows the place and we eat what he considered that is best. We shared around 5-6 different sushi and all were delicious. The restaurant is on this location from 1975.”
“Firefly holds a special place in my heart. My best friend and I rekindled our friendship here and have been going strong for 8 years. We decided to come here with friends for Easter Sunday and they took the best care of us. Even though we had a slight mishap regarding our food, the staff more than made up for it by comping that item, replacing it, and offering us a fabulous desert spread on the house. It was still a lovely experience and we'll both be back for more good times. Thank you!”
“Service was a little slow for having 3 tables in the whole building. The food was really good. We ordered some drunken noodles and 2 pad see ew. They were delicious. I asked for a 7 spice level. Boy, did it have me sweating. Even though it was spicy I couldn't stop eating.”
“Amazing pizza! I will never crave another pizza from anywhere else. They have the best tasting pizza. It's so fresh you can warm it up the next 3 days and still enjoy it.”
“Went here for the first time last week with my girlfriends, rebecca was our server and she was so sweet. I was indecisive about what to get and she recommended the peruvian steak sandwich IT WAS AMAZING!!! Will definittely be coming back super clean super great staff. this review is for the studio city ”
“I was riding by on my bike and liked how this place looked with a cool sign and logo. The large dining area only had a few customers and I was served promptly. It has a nice upscale look and prices are reasonable($20 for shrimp pad thai). My portion was smaller than average with no sides included losing this restaurant one star. Recommended.”
“Great service and quaint neighborhood surrounding it with cure shops up and down the street. There's stores to buy clothes that are not too pricey and a variety of eclectic shops with interesting themes to check out before and after dinner. There's coffee places and candy stores and ice cream there's gift stores etc and If you don't mind that Robert Blake who was the actor in Columbo - sh ot his wife there after dining then go give it a try. Waiters and staff are epic. Food is good. There's some venue upstairs with entertainment I've not checked out but there is a constant flow of 40 - 50 year olds with young families and urbanites enjoying the night. It fills up in the evenings. Very popular.”
“The food, service, and atmosphere are super at turning fork. It has quickly become our favorite local eat as a Studio City resident. Everything on the menu from the pizzas to the fish and chips never disappoint and the servers are excellent!”
“It was my first time Argentinian’s food . Everything was good.This place was clean , the service was very good, and they were so fast.Appetizer, salad, and food all were in good quality and fine.”

“Great customer service from the lady working by herself! She was really sweet and my sandwich came out fast and was really tasty! I haven't had Subway in awhile and coming here made me miss it all over again!”
“This is open 24 hours. They deal with every type of person. Yet every single sandwich is made NEATLY, and with care. I can’t stand a subway sandwich made sloppily and inedible. They are ALWAYS on time for app pick ups (even early!!), and take great care in the NOTES you write for them when you order on the app. I’ve been ordering and picking up from this location for over 2 years. 11/10.”

“The Ventura Blvd. location is small but it is packed with a store team that cares about the individual unique experience of each patron visiting their location. They are Super Friendly. Let me tell you right now that you will most likely stand in a small line outside the shop because once you're inside you will want to sample several amazing flavors of ice cream that will make your taste buds dance. Once you've picked your flavor/flavors, you will have a choice to have a cup or cone. I chose a large waffle cone and cup. The Peanut Butter Brittle Caramel Fudge was super delicious. We also had the Arbequina Olive Oil, it was equally as good. Thank you for the perfect dessert to cap off our date night! Yum! #SaltandStraw #LAEats #TastingTheValley”

“A delicious diner in the valley. It’s one of the better diners in the area which is already full of great and historic diners. It feels like you are eating in someone’s home. I would classify this place as a classic country style diner. The sort of place where locals lineup to have their daily meal and there is always a revolving board of specials. They have a fairly large menu with a ton of options on it and service is very fast. Our waiter was also really polite and we were checked in on many times by many different employees. They have a small parking lot attached to the front of the restaurant, otherwise it will be free street parking in the neighborhood behind.As mentioned, the menu is pretty large so it took me a minute to decide which dish I wanted to order. I ended up choosing the Eggs Alla Fisdale because Eggs Benedict is my favorite breakfast dish. This one is unique because they use a cheddar cheese sauce, which basically tasted like a cheesy hollandaise. It was honestly delicious and really made the meal. The eggs were cooked perfectly and I loved it. We also split a Banana Pudding for dessert and it was good but nothing special. We ordered some Caramel Lattes to begin our meal, and they were very tasty and strong. I would recommend them.Overall a delicious diner with fair pricing and free parking. I would recommend to anyone searching for a great breakfast option in the valley.Parking: small free parking lot in front”
“This is my FAVORITE new spot! The best coffee, matcha, ice cream, EVERYTHING. My favorite thing on the menu is the iced drip potion. It's also the best spot to do homework. Overall 10/10”
“The pizza is delicious. It always has a perfect base and the right balance of toppings. If you don't try the home made chilli oil, you are missing out.Dietary restrictions: The gluten free pizza is the best I have found.”
“I was so lucky to try out a few dishes. The server was very polite and understood I was celiac. So he helped me decide what to order. It’s difficult as it is plus asking a chef to accommodate my order. They did a wonderful job. The food was so good!!!Would come back anytime.My husband loved the fried sushi and sister ordered beef teriyaki.”
“The food is fresh and flavorful, I just personally prefer more veggies in my burger. It only has grilled onions and jalapeños as options. Would recommend to try it if you haven't but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here again. I still think In N Out and 5 Guys are better options.”
“After Universal Studios we wanted to eat some tacos. We found this place. It was late and we where a group of 10. There was no room indoors since there's only booths inside so we sat outside in the patio area. The waitress was quick on bringing the outdoor heater to warm us up. We ordered tacos and a cup with corn on the cob. The food was authentic and tasted like it should :)”
“Ordered a beef chorizo burrito with a mocha and a matcha, all were incredibly delicious but that's not whats ultimately keeping me coming back. The service here at this Civil is top notch. Mickey, Mateo and Mark were incredibly patient, they gave excellent recommendations and their vibe elevated my day. Not everyday day is a good day, but leaving this place this morning made my day so much better.”
“Put simply, my favorite restaurant of all time is Leonore's. I love it, and I can't say enough good things about this place. My favorite meal there is their soy chicken enchilada dinner, and I add a beet salad and a flaxseed tea. And their waitress Amy is terrific.”
“The sushi and ramen were great and the server was fantastic. Our kids use chopsticks all the time but dropped like 4 and he was there with fresh ones in seconds. Kind of an odd sports bar vibe with lots of live sports tv's without being too loud or boisterous.”
“Ice cream is creamy and good, have it after pizza!! When I went the staff let me try as much ice cream as I wanted since all the flavors sounded so good. It's nice inside with some seating and the outside store front also has a ledge you can sit at if it too busy inside.”
“My go to smoothie and smoothie bowl place! They make their smoothies with fresh vegetables and fruits (no added sugar or juices). They also have lots of unique and healthy options to choose from. Even their food is delicious! My favorite is the turkey avocado panini. Additionally, they have freshly made and refrigerated shots each for a different purpose such as detox, wheatgrass, turmeric, collagen, etc. I highly recommend this place I’ve never had a bad experience, always a quick and healthy option for a morning or mid afternoon boost!”
“Incredible food and the best service at the bar! The chef working in front of us was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Will be coming back, such an extensive menu!”
“I was so lucky to try out a few dishes. The server was very polite and understood I was celiac. So he helped me decide what to order.

Cheap Eats
“We dined in for lunch midweek. We were the only customers. Reno’s has been on Ventura Blvd for many years. Back in the day, well known actors and other celebrities came dined here. This was our first time here. We enjoyed or pizza and cheesesteak sandwiches. The pizza was thin crust and very flavorful. The sandwich was a little light on meat, but the cheese and bread were excellent. This is in a strip mall, so there’s not a lot of atmosphere per se. Bur it’s open and spacious with lots of natural light from the wall to wall windows. It’s easy to imagine a large, noisy lunch crowd. Recommended.Parking: Strip mall parking lot. Parking in the street is available.”
“First time here……… the food was soooo out of this world good, that I’m having a hard time staying awake. I travel for work, been to a lot of BBQ spots. This place is on my top 3 Nationwide.Sami PerezHUD Inspector”
“So delish! & location is nice. If you don't like your meat red on the inside, definitely ask for it to be cooked more Well than Rare (didn't realize how Rare mine was until I was already into, so just followed thru)Parking: Free 90 minute parkingWheelchair accessibility: I love that this area is wheel chair accessible”
“I usually order cakes a few days ahead from this place but this time it was a last minute thing. Walked in and was greeted by a very kind woman whose name tag said she was in training. She was a joy! Made my day. I always alternate between the coconut and red velvet and they’ve consistently been outstanding for years. 10/10”
“I go to the The Shops at Sportsmen's Lodge very frequently and knew that this eatery was open but never tried it until tonight (1/29/24). I was avoiding it due to the cost but for the value it is actually great! As I was not super hungry, I got the Chicken Pita (Chicken, gingery turmeric roasted onions, golden raisins, yogurt sauce, arugula). It was amazing and super filling. The chicken was fresh and the raisins really gave it the extra flavor. They REALLY FILL the pita! My friend got the Quarter Chicken Plate (Choice of light or dark, with hummus, wedge salad, pickles, pita, chili oil + garlic sauce). They substituted the pita for the Schmaltzy Potatoes (Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside). It was a big portion and could have been shared. Will definitely be back!”
“This place has the most spot on Korean style 'galbi' (short ribs) in LA / oc area combined. Potatoes and macaroni salad was really good too and the serving size is just wow. Definitely will be coming back for more.”
“As a first time customer, I got a simple roast beef and swiss sandwich w/ lettuce/tomato/mayo.The bread they use has a great texture and flavor, it's a good step up from Jersey Mike's or any other chain shops. The roast beef seems high quality, I'm not sure where they source it but it was very good. It's not a huge sandwich but for $13 I was happy.I also had to try the $9 a slice Eastside cheesecake and man was that delicious.It's hard to find great subs in LA but this is my new favorite spot.The only better place I found so far is Eastside Deli in downtown LA. It's a long trip from Studio City though so I'll only go there as a treat.”
“Ive been coming to Henry's since I was 2 years old at there old location. Since they've moved to their new location it's a little smaller but the food and the service hasn't changed. Now I've been taking my son's since they were little kids. 2nd generation and many more generations to come.”
“We got the Spicy Orange Chicken, Green Curry Fried Rice, Crab Rangoons, and fresh hand rolls. All great. I especially liked their take on the crab Rangoon which was creamy and had a black pepper kick. The spicy orange chicken has a Thai spin on it. You can request different spice levels. I like a little hit but not on fire and the Medium was perfect.Lovely spot for a quiet evening. Recommend.”
“Philz (and my mother-in-law) have taught me that pour-over coffee (look it up) is one of the best (and easiest!) brewing methods for consistently great coffee. Fortunately Philz sells some of the best beans around, roasted fresh and (somewhat) locally (Oakland, CA), making it easy to make great coffee at home. Or you can just come here and have them make you an exceptional coffee. I've been to many Philz stores and they are all great, warm and welcoming. Truly hand-crafted coffees, carefully created cup by cup. (YUM) (!)”
“The food here is excellent. I recommend the Thai Fried Rice on Fire, and the Tom Kha Kai Soup w/chicken. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The layout of the restaurant is a clean simple style with an indoor fountain, some decorative plants & flowers, and old-school pictures of life and people in Thailand adorning the walls. Combined with the lighting and "easy-listening" music playing, it creates a very relaxed, laid-back atmosphere.A nice little place to dine out for small groups. Or you can even order-out for delivery or pickup via Postmates.”

“How did it take me this long to find this beautiful place! Talk about hidden surprises in the city of Angels, this is one of those! This has to be, the best Chinese food in all of Los Angeles! May I recommend the deep fried cheese, I think they call it something different, but it's the cream cheese, deep-fried, so creamy, so delicious! The hot and sour soup is so amazing, it's like heaven, just like the chicken, they serve And if you're lucky - you'll be in Louis's section!!”
“Just lunch today, but effort was put into it! Looked good and tasted good. Didn’t see bread & butter on the menu but was happy that it was included with my chicken & mushroom fettuccini. My lunch date ordered a chop salad that also looked great and tasted just as good and it was take out! Next time we’ll dine in, cute and casual patio setting.Parking: Parking meters in front, it was during lunch hour and it’s a busy block. Plenty of parking if you don’t mind walking a block at the most or circling around a few times. Not a big deal and expected.”
“Great choice for Chinese food nearby Universal Studios. Can't beat the prices for the food with generous portions and lots of options. Took ours to go but they had a few seats inside. Located right in a strip mall off with a few parking spots and easy access back to the roads.”
“So far the best butter chicken I've had is from this restaurant. That's really the major reason why I visit this restaurant because the butter chicken is so delicious. Also like their mango lassi and garlic naan as well. For anyone new to this restaurant those are the items I recommend getting from here. The food can be a bit pricy ”
“The sushi and ramen were great and the server was fantastic. Our kids use chopsticks all the time but dropped like 4 and he was there with fresh ones in seconds. Kind of an odd sports bar vibe with lots of live sports tv's without being too loud or boisterous.”

Teru Sushi
“I’m not a fan of sushi, but the food in this restaurant was really great. Went here with a friend of a friend who knows the place and we eat what he considered that is best. We shared around 5-6 different sushi and all were delicious. The restaurant is on this location from 1975.”
“This place is so underrated!! Drunken noodle was so delicious, loved everything & service was great! Perfect for a cozy night out for Thai or even to grab & go. Will definitely come again!!”

“Firefly holds a special place in my heart. My best friend and I rekindled our friendship here and have been going strong for 8 years. We decided to come here with friends for Easter Sunday and they took the best care of us. Even though we had a slight mishap regarding our food, the staff more than made up for it by comping that item, replacing it, and offering us a fabulous desert spread on the house. It was still a lovely experience and we'll both be back for more good times. Thank you!”

“We had an amazing time eating here!! The food looked so good, we wanted to order everything but ended up getting the Mushroom Ramen and the Fried Udon. Both dishes were DELICIOUS and had a nice spiciness. The ambience, cute interior and service were good too - overall a great experience. Would really recommend!”

“The food is fresh and flavorful, I just personally prefer more veggies in my burger. It only has grilled onions and jalapeños as options. Would recommend to try it if you haven't but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here again. I still think In N Out and 5 Guys are better options.”
“Not sure why the incredibly high reviews. I would do 3.5 if I could but the atmosphere was really nice so bumped it up. It’s a cozy cafe in a cute area, seating is great. Food was fine— not super expensive, but for what it was, a little more costly than I’d prefer. Definitely not memorable, but tasted fine; cappuccino was meh. However, I’d come back just for the vibes since it’s a good place to catch up with friends etc. and I’d be interested to try a different menu item!”
“Great service and quaint neighborhood surrounding it with cure shops up and down the street. There's stores to buy clothes that are not too pricey and a variety of eclectic shops with interesting themes to check out before and after dinner. There's coffee places and candy stores and ice cream there's gift stores etc and If you don't mind that Robert Blake who was the actor in Columbo - sh ot his wife there after dining then go give it a try. Waiters and staff are epic. Food is good. There's some venue upstairs with entertainment I've not checked out but there is a constant flow of 40 - 50 year olds with young families and urbanites enjoying the night. It fills up in the evenings. Very popular.”
“I love this place! Last night our dinner wasn't quite as good as past experiences. Service was very slow and it seemed like we had been forgotten. The appetizers were also very mediocre. Burrata salad lacked flavor and the smoked salmon bruschetta was only okay. They were both served with bread that tasted like very dry toast.”
“Ordered a beef chorizo burrito with a mocha and a matcha, all were incredibly delicious but that's not whats ultimately keeping me coming back. The service here at this Civil is top notch. Mickey, Mateo and Mark were incredibly patient, they gave excellent recommendations and their vibe elevated my day. Not everyday day is a good day, but leaving this place this morning made my day so much better.”
“Amazing most delicious pizza I’ve EVER had. I hardly ever write reviews but this one is worth the time. Not only was the cashier extremely knowledgeable but everything he suggested was beyond on point. I had the Famous Original pizza which is what they are known for and man is it worth every bite!”
“As usual it slaps! Fantastic service and good food. The quality is always fantastic. The one thing that was a bit off this time compared to the other times I've been has been the fact that the fish didn't seem to be timed out well, and it would arrive out of sink with my friends food. And we ordered the same lite box. Otherwise -- I love it and this has been my tenth time back so I'm obviously a fan!”
“We had a very tall waiter and sat on soft, low benches. The only thing I wished for was a pillow, but that did not decrease the joy of dining. When we were browsing the menu, out giant waiter suggested that we check out the brunch menu as well. This proved to be a wonderful idea. I chose the Breakfast Burrito and my friend selected the Huevos Enchilada with a sunny side up on top. Both of us practically licked our plates with out tongues. I can't recommend Mexicali any better than that.”
“Honestly I'm hesitant to write this review as finally there is a delicious ma and pa k spot in the hood!!!! So glad they opened up here and have been a regular !! If your craving some k town in studio city and don't want to deal with the 101 this is the place!!!”
“Amazing food! Loved the Coconut Shrimp!!! My family little girls loved their Steak Taco, and Chicken Tacos. We will be back next time we are in town. *recommend parking across the street for free parking.”
“It was a little dark at the table and the light that was there was a little distracting. Overall the food was great and the service was great! Have to go back to try the cheesecake though cause they ran out.”
“Nice little breakfast spot, there's dining inside and outside. I recommend dinning in their patio which is around an alley due to it's incredible atmosphere. The portions and price is very reasonable, I would be coming back!”
“Philz (and my mother-in-law) have taught me that pour-over coffee (look it up) is one of the best (and easiest!) brewing methods for consistently great coffee. Fortunately Philz sells some of the best beans around, roasted fresh and (somewhat) locally (Oakland, CA), making it easy to make great coffee at home. Or you can just come here and have them make you an exceptional coffee. I've been to many Philz stores and they are all great, warm and welcoming. Truly hand-crafted coffees, carefully created cup by cup. (YUM) (!)”

“I hadn't been to Art's Delicatessen in way too long. Not wanting any more time to pass, I decided that today was the day to return. My only regret is that I'd been away way so long because Art's did not disappoint, and I missed out on this delicious food for too many years. It was as delicious as ever, and our waitress, Monica made our visit very, very special. Monica is a treasure and reflects the heart of this restaurant. Thank you so much, Monica! We will be back soon!”
“Amazing sushi in bright, homey environment- loved the rock shrimp, citrus roll, and truffle salmon! Miso eggplant was a good and unique choice. Would highly recommend!”
