“From the moment I walked into Pokitomik, I was greeted to the max with friendly smiles and a welcoming vibe that immediately set the tone for the visit. The place has a clean and inviting atmosphere, and you can tell right away that customer service is a priority here.

I decided to go with a poke bowl, and let me just say—it was made to absolute perfection. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, with the toppings complementing each other without being overwhelming. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients, which is something that sets this spot apart from others.

One of the highlights I’d recommend is the Hawaiian Salmon Mix—it’s truly unbeatable. The salmon was incredibly fresh and paired so well with the mix of flavors. Honestly, this is some of the best poke I’ve had in a very long time, and I’ve tried quite a few places in the area.

If you’re nearby, I highly recommend stopping by Pokitomik. Whether you’re a poke lover or just trying it for the first time, you’ll leave satisfied and impressed. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again.”

“The Cliff Diver Restaurant and Bar is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, and the owner clearly takes pride in offering an amazing drink selection every cocktail we tried was top-notch. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. A special shoutout to our server, Josh, who went above and beyond with his service — super knowledgeable, personable, and made great recommendations. Definitely one of the best dining experiences around. Can’t wait to come back.”

“Authentic Japanese experience available at 2 PM for small talk, private consideration of important life decisions, or enjoying the wait for someone.

A shocking, unexpected entrance into an impressive, realistic somewhat formal Japanese environment.

“I can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review for Side Street, I am always in a happy food comma post-brunch and forget. Side Street has long been my absolute favorite restaurant in Ventura County! When it comes to the menu at Side Street, you genuinely can't make a wrong choice. Personally, I'm hooked on their country fried steak and waffles. Hands down the best gravy you'll ever have! There's something about the way they make their coffee that has me drinking half a pot of coffee I swear. When I go out to eat, I expect the food to be better than what I could make myself at home. It's a standard that so many breakfast/lunch restaurants seem to miss, but Side Street consistently exceeds these expectations without fail. What sets Side Street apart is not only the outstanding food but also their commitment to keeping prices reasonable. You definitely get more than your money's worth here! So many of their dishes come with 1) eggs, 2) toast or biscuits & gravy, AND 3) home fries or hash browns. It's a breakfast lover's dream come true! In the post-COVID era, the closure of so many beloved family-owned restaurants was heartbreaking. Side Street not only weathered the storm but continues to thrive. Stepping into Side Street feels like entering a home away from home. Suzanne, the owner and founder, is a constant presence, working alongside her husband, Ryan, and son, Drew. This is as family-owned as it gets, and that authenticity resonates in every corner of the restaurant. What truly makes Side Street special is the family environment. Every member of the staff makes the atmosphere so welcoming. It's evident that they take pride in providing exceptional service, making each visit a memorable experience. In a time where good, family-owned establishments are hard to come by, Side Street stands out as a beacon of what going to a restaurant should be. From the warm atmosphere to the delicious food and impeccable service, this restaurant will always be my go-to. If you haven't experienced the magic of Side Street, it's about time you do! Truly a hidden gem of Ventura County!”

It's familar, and also nice, but not pretentious. The food and drinks are consistently good and on par with the other locations, and the service is great ( service may be even better than some other locations).

“Dinner detective was a fun and creative way to celebrate our office party, actors were very good. The sound was echoing and I wish they had microphones to make it louder and heard from all directions. Initial mingling instructions were not very clear, nobody knew what we re doing at first. But as clues were given, it was getting better. Crowd was pretty good in role playing, so it was difficult to figure out who was the actor and who was the guest. Overall fun and different experience.”

“I have been living near for close to a decade. I don't know how long this taco truck has been here. I do remember when I moved here, there was a teenager k that I found too expensive so I never tried it. Part of the problem is that I knew other places that I'd rather go eat at. Now a days, either said places aren't as good and those that are, are simply too far of a drive.

That is how I ended up coming here for the first time and was I glad I did. The prices arw too bad and their tacos are great. I got tacos of carne asada and chorizo. Both were extremely good and it is hard to find taco trucks with good of these meats.

Don't be afraid to stop by. When I did, there was no one around. Before I knew it, the place got packed. All kinds of people came to eat or apparently ordered ahead.”

“This is where we get cakes and cookies when we want to level up our hosting game or show up at someone’s house with something gorgeous and decadent. Definitely a huge step up from your average grocery store bakery and that’s reflected in the pricing, but depending on your needs, totally worth it.

“Sunset Terrace is my "GO TO" social and sports bar in Thousand Oaks and I frequent 3 times a week. By far they have the best happy hour on weekdays 3 - 7 pm. (Drinks - 50% off / Food - 25% off). They have plenty of pool tables, big screen TVs, and the only bowling alley (4 lanes) in town. The crowd is mostly locals who welcome newbies and make them feel right at home. The bartenders and servers are friendly and efficient and I rate their food a #10. The have security and I like the fact that never have I seen a fight there. Give it a try and I promise you can't go wrong. Thanks for reading this, Bruce Love”

This place is in our permanent rotation”

“Go Fish & Sushi has officially become our go-to spot. We’ve made it a tradition to eat here pretty much every Friday, and even when we can't stay, their takeout is just as high-quality and fresh.

Why We Love It:

The Chef’s Specials: We’ve ordered almost every special roll on the menu at this point, and they are consistently delicious. You can tell the fish is fresh and the combinations are well-thought-out.

Generous Portions: Unlike many sushi spots that overcharge for tiny bites, the portions here are very satisfying. You definitely get your money's worth.

Kid-Approved: Our kids absolutely love the Salmon Teriyaki. It’s their favorite spot to go get dinner after gymnastics.

Atmosphere: It is incredibly family-friendly. The staff always makes us feel welcome, which makes dining out with the whole crew much less stressful.

If you’re looking for a reliable, tasty, and welcoming sushi spot, this is it. We’ll see you guys next Friday!”

“Good food and the Holger’s Hero’s band fantastic!”

“I've been here a few times since they opened. My favorites are the catfish, shrimp, collard greens, yams, rolls, and hush puppies. The prices are SUPER low compared to other seafood/cajun places and the staff has always been kind. I hope they'll be around for a long time so that I can try everything on the menu 😊”

On day 2, tried a dirty matcha squared with a shot of espresso and it was even better 😋
A very nice atmosphere for working (the music is a bit loud, but the furniture and tables are comfy and there are outlets)”
