“Masa-san serves chef's choice, and the food is fresh and delicious. Eating here is an extremely delightful experience. The sweet shrimp with eggs is one of my favorites. Always finish your meal with at least 1 (maybe 2 or ...) of his blue crab rolls. The crab is carefully hand-pulled, the rice is warm, and the seaweed is crisp. You won't find that combination of quality and easy dining experience anywhere else in the Valley. Please try it!”

“Amazing food. Never tried anything like that before. Fresh, unique, great presentation.”

“If you’re craving a really good wrap, whether American or Armenian style, this is the spot.

We came here for lunch after hearing about it from friends for a long time, and it definitely lived up to the hype!! The ladies at the front were super helpful and gave great recommendations. We ended up trying the soujouk and the peppered turkey, and both were amazing!!

But honestly you guys, that soujouk sandwich… JUST WOW! The soujouk has this perfect spicy, peppery flavor that just hits. I had never tried it with mayo and avocado before, but the combination worked so well together. Everything blended perfectly!

Highly recommend this spot, Trust!”

“Food is pretty good, omlette was good and everyone else liked their sandwiches. Lost 1 star because of the doll house sized cream cheese given with to go orders. I mean seriously, its tiny. This container would be a tight fit as a GI Joe helmet. You could barely fit thoughts and prayers inside it. Aside from the anthill hot tub, food was quite good.”

“We dine here often. Food & service keeps bringing us back.”

“This Israeli style pizza was really good! The flavors were robust and the dough of the pizza was baked to a light crunch on the crust. 😉 We got three different pies to try them out. We eat a lot of pizza in this family from the East Coast to the West Coast. It’s not east coast pizza but we will definitely add them to our rotation of pizza places. Next time I will try something else on the menu. The restaurant itself is kind of small but quaint and the service was friendly and helpful.”

“Sushi Spot is by far the most exquisite and fresh sushi I’ve ever had. It’s what I miss the most about living in California and going there will be my highest priority when I visit. It’s absolutely that amazing! 🙏”

“My favorite Lebanese place in the valley. Hands down!”

“The food here is so delicious and flavorful. My server Ashaz was so sweet and wonderful. The woman who I’m assuming is the owner offers great recommendations on what to get as well. This is the only Indian restaurant I go to in the valley!!! Must try”

“It was our first time at Mona's Kitchen and we are so coming back. Incredible quality and selection of food. Friendly service, affordable. 5 stars!”

“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 🙋🏽‍♂️”

“This is a must for Sushi Lovers. My family and I love this place! The food, the staff, the atmosphere are all what you would expect from a high quality restaurant. Keep up the great work. See you real soon!”

“Thursday nights is Trivia and it’s super fun! The trivia was not too hard nor too easy and the emcee/dj did a fantastical job not only coming up with the rounds and questions, but the music he played synced perfectly! It’s fun competitive, so come to have fun! 🤩 ❤️❤️👽”

“Great Sushi! Top Quality!”

“Unique and flavorful selections of pies and sortserve.”

“Hi how are you a chocolate frosting cake with butter cream on balloons from grandmas Sandy’s birthday for me yes”

“Excellent!! Always find unique baked goods made with care. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, offering suggestions and letting me sample a few things before deciding. Whether you're picking up something for yourself, bringing a treat to a friend, or planning for a special occasion, this place is a must-visit.”

“Love this place treat you like family”

“Luis was awesome! Excellent service!”

“Here's a polished review in the style of a seasoned food critic:

There are very few restaurants that can maintain both excellence and consistency for more than two decades, and this remarkable sushi destination in Tarzana is one of those rare exceptions. For the past 26 years, they have quietly set the standard for what authentic Japanese hospitality and uncompromising quality should look like.

What immediately stands out is the unwavering commitment to the finest ingredients. Every piece of sushi and sashimi reflects exceptional freshness, precision, and respect for the product. Witnessing the tuna cutting on-site is a testament to their dedication to quality—something true sushi enthusiasts will genuinely appreciate. Every detail, from the knife work to the presentation, is executed with remarkable care.

A great restaurant is built by great people, and the chefs—Archy, Scott, Paul, and Saito—are true masters of their craft. Their experience, consistency, and passion are evident in every plate they prepare. Beyond their technical skill, they create an atmosphere that feels both welcoming and effortlessly professional.

What truly completes the experience is the hospitality. The service is warm, attentive, and sincere, making every visit feel like returning to a place that genuinely values its guests. It is this perfect harmony of extraordinary ingredients, meticulous craftsmanship, and heartfelt service that has allowed this restaurant to remain one of Tarzana's most treasured culinary gems for over a quarter of a century.

Without question, this is a well-deserved five-star establishment and a destination every serious sushi lover should experience.”

“Maui Sugar Mill Saloon is one of those rare places that feels less like a typical night out and more like stepping into a living, breathing slice of local culture.

From the moment you arrive, there’s an immediate sense that this venue has its own personality. It doesn’t try to imitate modern, overly polished entertainment spots—instead, it embraces a more authentic, slightly vintage, and effortlessly cool atmosphere. That character alone makes it stand out in a world where many places start to feel interchangeable.

What truly makes this place special is its energy. There’s a certain unpredictability in the best possible way—you never quite know how the night will unfold, but you can be sure it will be memorable. The space feels intimate yet lively, with a layout that naturally encourages connection, conversation, and shared experiences.

One of the strongest impressions comes from the live entertainment. The performances here don’t feel like background noise—they feel like the heartbeat of the room. Whether it’s music, local talent, or spontaneous moments that happen throughout the night, everything contributes to an atmosphere that feels genuine and unforced. It’s the kind of place where you catch yourself getting fully absorbed in the moment without even realizing it.

The crowd adds another layer to the experience. There’s a nice mix of regulars and newcomers, all blending together in a relaxed, welcoming environment. It creates a sense of community that is increasingly rare to find. People aren’t just passing through—they’re part of the experience, even if just for the evening.

The staff plays an important role in maintaining that vibe. Friendly, attentive, and grounded, they help keep everything running smoothly while still preserving the laid-back spirit of the place. There’s no sense of rush or pressure—just an easygoing approach that lets the night unfold naturally.

What I appreciated most is that Maui Sugar Mill Saloon doesn’t rely on flashy gimmicks. Its charm comes from authenticity. It’s a place that knows exactly what it is and doesn’t try to be anything else. That confidence translates into a consistently enjoyable experience where the focus is simply on good moments, good energy, and good company.

By the end of the visit, it’s not just about what you saw or heard—it’s about the feeling you leave with. A sense of having been part of something real, something local, something that still values atmosphere and human connection over trends.

It’s the kind of place you don’t just visit once. You return because it feels familiar, comfortable, and alive in a way that’s hard to replicate anywhere else. A true hidden gem for anyone who appreciates live energy, community spirit, and a relaxed, unforgettable night out.”

“Our Friend Vahe took us this week for a Tapas Treat to this gem on Ventura Blvd. They have been serving the valley with excellent Tapas for 20+ years. We went all the way - tried and shared most of the small tapas - croquetas, mushroom, shrimp, patatas and all the little baguette delicacies - and had a really good time. They have live music - a wonderful guitar player - on some days. If you like Spanish guitar worth checking out his dates in the place. If you care for Tapas - this is the right place.”

“Always enjoy this place. The atmosphere and welcoming nature of this establishment is unparalleled. It’s my favorite spot to hang out and enjoy either live music or to have a fun night of Karaoke. Been going here for years and every time I leave I can’t wait to go back! Thanks guys! Cheers! We’ll see you soon.”

“One of the best places to start your day with excellent coffee, food selection and Lovely staff.”

“I have been going here for years… A must go in the valley. Known for their high quality meat even seen celebrities buying their meat here.
Owner is super nice. Highly recommend!”

“I think pricing is just right for they quality of the meat and how they serve the food wether it's for take out or dine in. I love that there's grilled tomatoes and veggies included and you can request to have all the rice in one tray and all the meat in another.”

“First time here, and we were thoroughly impressed by the excellent service, comfortable seating, and—most importantly—the food! The BBQ Spare Ribs were incredibly tasty, and it was a thoughtful touch when our server brought over handi-wipes for our sticky hands. The Veggie Egg Rolls were nice, crunchy, and packed with flavor. For entrees, both the Beef with Broccoli and the Shrimp Chow Fun were excellent—and they tasted even better as leftovers the next day! Prices are very fair. We will definitely be returning! ✅”

“I came in last Tuesday and I was BLOWN AWAY! That was the BEST cheesesteak I have had since moving to LA! I am from Baltimore and lived in Philly for 3 years so I know great food. I am willing to take the drive just to get another one!”

“02/11/2026

I ordered a triple Western bacon cheese burger combo on Uber eats and the fries were not only burned but they're old.
The burger was good like always except the fries.
This is the second time I recieved an old burned fries.

Update: I called them and they were able to answer and it was corrected.”

“Really nice staff and owner - did little things to make us comfortable which was really appreciated - this is the kind of ownership that should be supported - and I believe that of all the chain pizza places, this is the best”

“Yummy and no long line and yummy breakfast”

“I love walking into this place. It’s great for takeout, not so much of a dine in establishment, which is what I’m looking for when I order pizza. But these folks always have my order ready when I walk through the door, they keep it piping hot and I am always greeted by the nicest, friendliest staff I have ever been greeted by at a small restaurant. The employees come across as if they are happy to be there and they always genuinely greet me as if I am welcomed and they’re glad to see me. Plus, they are open super late at night, so if you’re craving some dope pizza and salad late at night, these guys will hook you up. Since they have an agreement with Uber Eats, it doesn’t matter where in the city, or beyond you live. They will get your late night meal delivered to your front door.”

“First time eating at tBBQ Teriyaki & Sushi. Their lunch special was amazing! I forgot to take a picture. Lol. I recommend this place. Great meal selection. They cook your meal when you order it. You will have to wait a while. But it's worth it.”

“First time trying this for delivery. Our order was done exactly how we asked and super fast too. If you like grilled onion on your burger like i do...hold onto your hat because these were not just grilled but carmelized to perfection. And the butter cake...holy moly...move over cannolis cause you've been replaced with this as my new favorite dessert! I cried tears of gourmet joy while I ate”

“Clearly a lot of love is put into the cooking! The staff were very kind and patient with me. I had probably the most delicious Quesa Birria tacos I've ever tried! The food isn't expensive either, so think twice before heading to Taco Bell again. Very delighted by the service!”

“Great food great experience loved it would come agin.”

The quality is always consistent — fresh fish, perfectly seasoned rice, and attention to every detail in presentation. The chefs clearly take pride in their craft, and the staff always make us feel welcome like family.

Whether it’s a casual dinner or a special night out, this place never disappoints. You can really taste the care and tradition in every bite. After all these years, it still feels just as special as the first time we came. Highly recommend!”

“I have known "Unique Pastry Bakery" for over 22 years I always came out satisfied with dessert and challahs that scooped compliments around the table on Saturday nights and holidays. From an amazingly fresh and delicious breakfast to beautifully crafted wedding cakes. Irit Stein, well done אני מכיר את "Unique Pastry Bakery" למעלה מ 22 שנה תמיד יצאתי מרוצה עם קינוח וחלות שגרפו מחמאות מסביב לשולחן בערב שבת ובחגים. מארוחת בוקר טרייה מדהימה וטעימה ועד לעוגות חתונות מעוצבות להפליא. אירית, כל הכבוד”
