“Everything was amazing from the service to the food and sushi and the environment is unassuming and comfortable. Top notch!”
“I have eaten at Flavor of India several times and did so very recently with a friend. This place has amazing food and service! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything is excellent and I strongly recommend them. The atmosphere is great too!”
“the size of a 4 top table in a booth being far too cramped for 3 men and a lady, the experience at Black Market was, again, top-notch. Lauren, the manager and many hat wearing server, took exceptional care of our table. Food was fired in the right order. We had courses come out at just the right times and great suggestions from the staff. The Korean bbq wings, the cauliflower, burrata with peaches, and the bolognese were perfectly cooked and delicious. Drinks are also fantastic - I had a classic Negroni. We'll be back .”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Sushi Katsu-ya in Studio City is easily one of our top three favorite sushi restaurants. We come here 1–2 times a week, pretty much every week, and it has become our go-to sushi spot.
We usually keep our order pretty consistent: crispy rice with spicy tuna and a bunch of cut rolls. The cut rolls here are honestly some of the best we’ve had anywhere. Our favorites are the creamy salmon, spicy yellowtail, spicy albacore, and spicy tuna. Every one of them is consistently fresh, flavorful, and well made. From time to time we’ll switch it up with some of the specialty rolls or nigiri, and those have always been great as well.
The quality for what you pay is excellent, especially considering how consistently good everything is. After coming here as often as we do, that consistency is a big reason we keep returning.
But as much as we love the food, the staff is probably the biggest highlight for us. At this point we know pretty much the entire team, and everyone—from management and the hosts to the servers and chefs—is genuinely kind and welcoming. They always come by to say hello, welcome us back, and take great care of us. The service is consistently excellent, and there’s a warmth here that you don’t get at every restaurant.
We genuinely feel at home when we come to Katsu-ya. Great sushi, great value, an amazing staff, and a place we look forward to visiting every week. There’s a reason we keep coming back 1–2 times a week.”
“This place is the Go-To spot for sushi.. always fresh and delicious 😋”
“The Rendition Room is hands down my favorite spot in LA. From the moment you step through the hidden bookshelf door, it’s like you’ve been transported back to the 1930s…intimate, cozy, and just the right amount of mystery. But what really makes this place shine is Richy. He’s not just a bartender; he’s a mixologist in every sense of the word. Every drink he makes feels like it’s been crafted just for you. Beyond that, Richy’s warmth and sincerity are what truly set him apart. You’re not just another customer to him…he makes you feel welcome, like an old friend, every time you stop by. The Rendition Room nails it when it comes to atmosphere, cocktails, and overall vibe. Whether you’re celebrating something big or just want a cool night out, this is the place. It’s a hidden gem that never disappoints.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“I love Freddo. Their coffee and ice cream are fantastic (I love all of their Dulce de Leche flavors). Their empanadas, medialunas, and alfajores are great too. The people working there is nice and friendly. There is a nice patio in the back too. Parking can be tricky but you can always find a spot if you move away from Ventura. It’s open late too, so if you are looking for a espresso in the evening, this may be just the place for you”

“Must get sushi, but don’t forget the corn tempura and momotaro tomato (seasonal). Awesome sake selection too.”
“Frank the owner is a first class individual with first class service. He came and introduced himself and complimented us with a couple of glasses of wine. We're definitely coming back. Food was amazing.”
Outdoor Dining
“The ramen 🍜 here is really good and the quality of the food is impressive. Ramen 🍜 bowls costing around $20.
I also tried the curry chicken 🐔 rice. The portion was a bit small, and the chicken was quite shredded, but the flavor was still pretty good.👍
The restaurant is clean and pleasant🥰. My only complaint is that the air conditioning wasn’t strong enough, especially in the hot🔥 LA weather. Overall, I enjoyed the food and would consider coming back.”
“This pizza place deserves way more than 5 stars.
It was great to see how welcoming the owner was. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we had known him for years. He came out from the back shook my hand and took the time to listen as I described the type of pizza my boys like.
The place is small but give you a home like feel inside from the moment you walk in. The outdoor area in the back is a beautiful set up. One of my favorite parts was the side window where you can actually see the pizza being made.
The service was incredible, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the pizza itself was a true 10/10. The owner even came back out to wish us safe travels home, which says everything about the kind of place this is.
Places like this are rare nowadays. Its nice to walk into a business and feel genuinely welcomed, not just treated like another dollar coming through the door.
this is the kind of place you need to experience.”
“First time I’ve ever had middle eastern food. It was incredible. People inside that served us were fantastic. Avi the owner is the real deal. Couldn’t recommend enough”

“You need reservations although they have a bar you can sit at but that gets crowded too. As Jon & Vinny’s is popular. They also have outdoor seating with heaters (if needed). A take out window at the back of the building where valet is.
The interior is modern, simple and clean. Every time I come in here idk why but it reminds me of the show “The Bear”. Maybe it’s cause everyone’s on top of it, services is quick, everything is calculated and very organized. I would assume so because they’re always busy and they gotta keep a smooth rhythm which you can tell.
Food is always delicious no matter what you order. Portions are a perfect amount. Pizza’s are 6 thin slices.
My favorite pasta is the Spaghetti Limone and Corn Ravioli two completely different flavors but each an explosion of unique flavors.
My favorite pizza is White Lightning although this time we ordered the pepperoni Little Nat’s which was great too.
Dessert wise all the cookies are great! I love the Nonna’s lemon cookie and the rainbow cookie. They used to have a dessert with olive oil I never got the chance to try it and it’s currently off the menu.
I had my birthday dinner here and enjoyed it!”
“First time at this restaurant, recommended by a good friend, food was delicious, will definitely come back.”
“We were 5 ppl ,ordered like 8 dishes all were amazingly great my first time to Gokaku Rama. Was so worth it after all day in universal su Dr ios,3 min drive to Gokaku place ..I did not want to end my meal .this is the best restaurant”

“The ramen was very flavorful, but a little salty. The sushi was okay, but it tasted a bit sour to me because of the lime flavor. The sourness kind of overpowered the other flavors of the sushi. Also, no ginger or soy sauce came with the sushi. Updated from previous review on 2026-09-20”
“I ordered a hot fudge sundae with black cherry chip ice cream. The cherry flavor was perfect and really enjoyed the thickness and taste of the hot fudge . Our group did try some of other flavors, like the rhubarb one, but some of the flavors did not come through - so be to get a taste before deciding”
“First, I want to say that the restaurant is located in a beautiful area. Walking around the neighborhood was incredibly enjoyable and made the whole experience even better.
When it comes to the restaurant itself, I honestly don't have enough words to describe how amazing it was. I found out that the pasta is handmade rather than pre-made, and it's brought fresh from Italy every evening. That surprised me and made dining there even more special.
The pasta I ordered was prepared with white wine. The portion looked a bit small at first, but it was very filling and absolutely delicious.
I would also like to give special recognition to the manager. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, energetic, and made us feel comfortable throughout our visit. We were even treated to a delicious pasta that wasn't yet on the menu, which was such a thoughtful gesture. I will definitely come back just for that pasta!
Everything was excellent—the atmosphere, the people, the food, and the service. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.
I would love to see more seafood pasta dishes added to the menu, and I can't wait to visit again.”
“We just had an awesome party at Rocco's Tavern. This is a beautiful venue with a laid back vibe. Alex and his staff are fantastic. I like the flat bread pizza. I highly recommend this venue for parties or if you just want to hang out with friends or after work.”
“I ordered lunch takeout for work recently and honestly loved the vibe. It’s not that unique but it’s very chill and the staff were super nice. Even offered me a seat at the bar while I waited for food. Writing this review because it reminds me of a place you and your friends can go for lunch/dinner, not break your wallet, and gossip in the corner for hours so I will be trying to eat in soon.”
“Daichan is the best restaurant in LA. The food is 100% delicious, the interiors are perfectly homey and comforting and distinct, and the service is impeccable. I want to eat here every day.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I am a coffee fanatic and always looking for the best coffee spots every place I go. I can say hands down Saint Coffee Shop is by a mile by favorite coffee spot in all of LA. Oftentimes, I find coffee shops tend to pour too much milk and drown out the espresso, but Saint’s Iced Vanilla Latte is perfect - just enough milk to balance but you can still taste how great the espresso is. The pastries are also fantastic, and I love the cinnamon roll and how fluffy and dough-y it is. I will say it is very difficult to find seating, especially on a weekend, because the place gets so busy, but even just grabbing your coffee and pastries to go is so worth it. I can’t recommend this place enough!”
“I go to the Tujunga Kreation everyday. The team is always pleasant & knowledgeable giving great customer service. I usually call ahead for my order, which is always ready when I arrive. Alex and the rest of the team pride themselves in having your order correct & ready!”
“My Mother’s Day (party day) order included 5 dozen mini cupcakes, 2 cakes, and some whoopie pies! I got home and realized my order was missing a dozen red velvet cupcakes. I called the studio city location for a refund on those since I had no time to go back to the bakery before the party (please open a location in Santa Clarita @susiesarich 😂). Instead, they same day delivered my cupcakes PLUS sent additional cookies and Mother’s Day treats for no additional cost to me😭❤️ I was SO amazed by the gracious customer service. I’ve been celebrating with Susie for over a decade and I will never leave- especially now! Thank you Susie and @susiecakesbakery for your delicious treats and valuing your customers so much💗”
“An app found this place and tracks calories from my photos. The red velvet cake slice fit my remaining daily calories. The portion was normal and the taste was good. The room is comfortable.”
Cheap Eats
“There are a lot of places in Los Angeles to get a good. If not great sandwich. What sets Paulie's apart has to be the friendliest counter service I ever consistently run into. I was in there with my son this weekend and the gentleman behind the counter was kind and joked and smiled and did all the things that you want to see to make somebody feel welcome in your establishment. And it's not the first time I've experienced this there and it's not always with the same person. The sandwiches are bomb. But the service puts it over the top every time.”

“I’m a total snob so it’s hard to impress me. I’m such a jerk. Anyway, this place is awesome. I had the Masala Dosa (spicy) and the vegetable korma. The food was so good - my brain is spinning.
Friendly family, too.
What a gem of a place right in Studio City.”
“Great meal. Family atmosphere. Drinks were good, food was good. We had several different dishes, all were good. Bass, crab fried rice, shrimp fried rice, lamb, saki bombs. All good.”

“Alex the baker was so polite and friendly. I really appreciated him. The manager Jansen was excellent. He was kind and brought out to go bags to us rather than just calling out our number. Some trainees were there and one lady made sure to make a table available for us by asking the other trainee to join her at her table. It is very clean and the food as always was delicious! We got the cilantro chicken salad and the Santa Maria bbq. Fantastic! Easy parking and great location.”
“This small niche Mexican restaurant is indeed very authentic, I’ll say it in both languages just cause it’s that amazing, the chilaquiles are a perfect blend of slightly spicy with great taste! If you are visiting from out of town and looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant this is the spot for sure, aqui la nuestro desayuno estuvo espectacular! Los chilaquiles estavan bien sabroso con un sabor medico picoso bien rico! Definitely coming back! Sorry for not taking pictures of the food before hand I saw my plate and went to town on my meal!”
“Everything I’ve had here is the best version I’ve had of that dish. Mapo tofu (and its amazing over fries), dan dan noodles, beef noodle - it’s all amazing. More people need to come here and support this amazing local food joint. Everything on the menu comes vegan or has an egg option (but vegan is default). Updated from previous review on 2026-09-12”
“Phenomenal food, drinks, and service. I came for the USA/Australia World Cup game on Friday afternoon with my husband and toddler. The service was warm, drinks and food were very high quality, and it was a great experience. We are moving to the neighborhood, and I have a feeling this will be a repeat local spot. Highly recommend!”
“11/10 omakase sushi & experience at Sushi Tetsuya. Was my husband and I’s first time trying and it was incredible. The service, ambiance, jazz music was so great on top of the incredible sushi. There are so many great sushi spots in the valley but this is our new favorite. The omakase was incredible. I can’t wait to come back I’m already counting down the days!”
“Came here on a Tuesday morning for my birthday and had the absolute best experience. Pulling up was super easy and I surprisingly had no issues finding street parking right nearby.
The service really stood out—my bartender Kingston was awesome, super attentive, and knew his stuff when it came to tequila recommendations.
As for the food, everything was perfect. I got the steak, eggs, crispy potatoes, and lobster. The steak was cooked just right and the potatoes were insanely fresh and crispy.
Definitely coming back here again soon. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in Studio City!”
“Cool dicey bar feel with great drinks and fabulous bartenders! Loved it when it was Oyster Bar, and still loving it as Oy bar!!!”
