“My partner and I went here for dinner and left very well fed, happy, and with leftovers to take home! I ordered the Tom Kha soup with tofu and chicken, and a side of steamed rice. It was the perfect feel good meal and was easy on my stomach. I would definitely recommend if you are feeling under the weather or are just looking for a comfort food. Previously tried pad thai from this spot and remember it also hitting the spot! Recommend also indulging in some boba if you visit!”
“We have become regulars. Wonderful food and amazing service from Bobby each visit!!! They are the best. Can recommend chicken pakora, dal mahkni, chicken mahkni and vegetable korma as well as samosas and naan.”
“I hope they do well, everything gets so expensive these days, 50 bucks don't get you much these days”
“Excellent menu with great food, reasonable prices, wonderful ambiance and a friendly staff What more would you want for date night”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“This is my go to for takeout when I visit my parents in Thousand Oaks. The food is delicious and high-quality. If you like spicy food, this is probably your best bet in the area. I would not skip on the garlic noodles. Their website is used for pick up, food is always on time, well packages, and they have service with a smile.”
“It was a great place to watch the Superbowl. The food was fantastic, quick and a great value. We will return soon!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“This is my favorite location for Urban Plates. Nelly is such a great host, and all the staff is wonderful, very courteous and humble!! Will always return!
Came back again and was well here for by Hayden as well! He was very eager and helpful to take care of us all and made our experience wonderful!”
“Friendly family owned business. I work at St.Johns Pleasant Valley Hospital and they donated delicious meals for all the employees during the COVID crisis. I will always support them because of their kindness and thoughtfulness. Extra bonus is that the food is so delicious!”

“I love this place. Spicy tuna usually does not sit well with my stomach but I love the taste of it so much. No matter what restaurant I go to, the spicy tuna always gives me the worst stomach aches and I end up having to rush to the bathroom. THIS PLACE HAS THE BEST SPICY TUNA!!!! I think it’s sooooo fresh and it has never made me have a stomach ache, which I LOVE!!! I get great portion sizes and it’s always really really delicious!!!”
“Dustin is the man. This place is amazing. Food is incredible atmosphere is awesome. All around good vibes. Dustin is a top notch owner that cares about his customers and the quality of the food he puts out. I got the brisket bowl. Was able to load it up with veggies and everything that I wanted. Coming back weekly”
“An amazing place! I’ve never had a bad drink here, and I appreciate the unique flavors. My faves are the mango matcha (very juicy) and the saffron latte (unique and earthy-sweet). Everyone there is also delightful to talk to, and they all make great drinks. The owner’s there almost every day, and we always take time to chat with him.
Sapphire made me a Dubai latte and cortado today, and both were delicious! She was also a delight to talk to.”
“Excellent service. Very accommodating.
Food was good. I got the shrimp tacos they were great. Everyone else liked their food too. The kids Mac&Cheese was Kraft I think but my daughter loved it.”

“This is our second great date night at the mighty axe and thanks to JT’s axe throwing tutorial, we managed to pretend that we were professionals when in reality, we are just lucky to hit the board. My wrists are messed up right now, so he was really helpful in helping me find a way to throw without causing pain. I early recommend this place and JT! Be back soon!”
“We were here on a Tuesday and it was busy when we arrived and busy with people waiting when we left. Definitely a favorite for the locals! We were seated quickly and the service was fast. Our omelettes were delicious as was the cinnamon roll french toast topped with bananas, strawberries, blueberries and whipped cream! Wow! It was a special of the day and so, so good! Lovely place, nothing fancy but very nice. Hope to be back if we pass that way again.”
“I’m so glad I found this place. Yes it is the BEST sushi in Conejo Valley. The chef knows his fish. We got most of the specials on the board which were mostly from Japan. I will say that it was expensive but so worth it. Maybe stick to the nigiri on the menu and it won’t cost so much. But I’m so glad I do not have to drive into LA for great sushi. I’m a fan.”

“Went for Sunday Brunch with the family. It was absolutely wonderful. The selections were varied and delicious with something for everyone. The lamb chops, ribeye and salad bar were a perfect compliment to the meal. Do yourself a favor and enjoy the Lava cake for dessert.”
“A group of 4 friends went to have dinner Sunday July 12th in the Olive garden in Camarillo. Our waiter went over and beyond in helping getting our food kept checking up on us. Great attitude and very friendly. From ordering our drinks to getting our food plus we ordered food to go , no problem. I did not get his name we will be back for sure.”
“We absolutely love this little local place. The owners are wonderful and make you feel like you are at a big family dinner in Italy! So far we have only tried a few items on the menu, but we will be back to try more. Delicious pizza and such a cozy, family-friendly experience.”
“I went to this restaurant to try there food and honestly I feel like I was missing out the yuka was very soft and crunchy and the picture below was my favorite I forgot the name but ask for that. Also the guy who works there is very kind and patient he walks you through the menu and always checks on to make sure you’re fine . Totally worth it”
“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.”
“Located inside of Nordstrom at The Oaks Mall (on the 2nd floor), this restaurant is a nice little hideaway from all typical dining choices available when I work in TO. 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). Thank you for the pleasant service, wonderful food, and hideaway vibes in TO”
“Best Steakhouse in town! Food is amazing from the appetizers, main dishes to desserts! The bar is beautiful and filled with top shelf brands. The staff is great! Very knowledgeable and super friendly with fantastic recommendations. The owners and chief are frequently walking the dining room and making sure you are having a great experience. Highly recommended.”

“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!”

“I just wanted to thank the owner and staff for your generosity and patience yesterday on your busiest day of the year. On a whim I decided to stop by. My family was super happy when I got home. Our boys decided every Friday will be Valentino's. And I couldn't agree more. Thank you again.”
“Fresh, no skimping, great options, friendly service, order always correct, open all day. Best sushi spot in East Ventura County/Conejo!”

“Urbane Cafe is hands down one of my favorite places to grab lunch or dinner! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Their Cobb Salad is absolutely amazing packed with fresh ingredients, generous portions, and so much flavor. It’s become my go-to order every time I visit.
What really makes this place stand out, though, is the team. Everyone is always welcoming, friendly, and genuinely seems to care about providing a great experience. The staff works hard, keeps everything running smoothly, and always greets customers with a smile.
Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch, a casual dinner, or just a great meal made with quality ingredients, Urbane Cafe never disappoints. Highly recommend!”
“Real crab in the burrito-peefect.The Cancun burrito which had grilled fish and real crab, had an amazing flavor. It comes with tortilla which is great with the salsa bar. Great flavors, ch I ices and pther items at the self service bar. Especially the Habanero. Staff are welcoming and friendly which is a high point. I wished the burrito was a little larger, but with the chips amd crab is filling. I cannot wait to come back again. Overall, 10/10. Flavor 10/10. Cleanliness 10/10. Chill place to eat inside or on the patio.”
“SunLife Organics is my absolute #1 favorite place to dine and wellness cafe. I would like to eat here daily! Everything is incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared—it’s consistent, clean, and just really yummy AND healthy.
I love that they don’t have Wi-Fi. It changes the pace and makes it feel more present.
My favorites are the GATO dates, the peanut butter chocolate smoothie, and the salad. Even the merch stands out—a pair of their track pants is goals!
There’s plenty of parking, which makes it easy, and the staff is always so sweet and helpful. You can easily grab a smoothie and then stroll this cute location.
I also really love the story behind it—founded by Khalil Rafati, who survived homelessness and addiction whose personal journey commitment to health and wellness is reflected in everything they do.
Can’t wait to come back. Thank you. Support Local.”
“If you have $10 in your pocket, you can feast like a king here. Tacos are $3 a piece and very authentic. And they are not shy about portions. The price to quality ratio here is insane. Best tacos in town by far and they happen to be the most affordable.
The burritos are not massive but they are very flavorful and filling. All of their salsas are great too. The staff are very friendly and give great service. Amazing churros and fried plantains! I’ve had nearly everything on the menu and none of it has disappointed. You really can’t make a bad choice here.”
“Went there a few times with my pal Harold De Wit who lives in Thousand Oaks. Lots of beer choices. They’re all cold and tasty, the pizza is great and the staff is friendly. Good experience! I will go again next time I visit.”
“I took this pic of the dealers choice drink over their drink menu today… we asked for a Mezcal base and this is it! It was delicious!!!”

“Huge variety of shaved ice love all the flavors I have tried 🍧”
“Joe & his staff were amazing! Very kind, welcoming, and attentive. Amazing service and amazing food. The food was delicious. The rice was one of the best rice I ever had. Very authentic Mexican food. Definitely will be going back for more. Best Mexican food in TO and very good customer service!”
“We got our usual burritos, a Fajita burrito and a Chile Relleno burrito. They are both so flavorful! I highly recommend all of their burritos. The burritos are so large we cut them in half and have them for lunch the next day.
Their chips are excellent as well, they definitely don’t taste like they’re coming out of a bag from the grocery store!”
“Bekah was great! My daughter is very picky when it comes to frozen fruit concoctions and we usually go to our local spot for smoothies but gave Jamba a try. Bekah went out of her way to research what our local spot makes for my daughter and replicated it perfectly.
Bekah earned all of our future smoothie business anytime we are near her store.
Thanks again Bekah!”
“I always have a great experience at Toppers Pizza in Thousand Oaks. The pizza is consistently delicious, the toppings are fresh, and their salad bar is one of my favorites. It’s also a great spot to grab some food, watch a game, and hang out with friends or family. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Definitely one of my go-to pizza spots in Ventura County and a place I’d recommend to anyone looking for a great local pizza experience!”
“This is the first time I've been in the shop and purchased anything, and I really love this place! The employees are very knowledgeable, the prices are reasonable for the quality of the product, and the overall vibe of the store is peaceful and enjoyable. I live out of town, but the next time I come back I'm making another visit. Would definitely recommend.”

“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”

“I love love love this place. The drinks are delicious. My favorite is the superfruit tea that contains fresh fruit. Sometimes I just get a plain tea lightly sweetened. They use really high-quality teas. When I'm in the mood for a sweet treat, I like to get either a Thai tea or strawberry matcha with strawberry boba. I'm working my way through the menu. Everything is so good. Fresh teas and fresh fruits make them really stand out. They also have lots of jelly and boba toppings to choose from. The snacks are also quite tasty. The tokoyaki is good. I also always check out the snacks at the counter. Sometimes they have really great Asian pastry snacks. Depends on the day. But it's always fun to check out what they have. The staff are really nice, and the place is totally cute. There are stuffed animals and toys for sale. The stock changes, which makes it fun to look around. Great for gifts! My boyfriend also really likes this place.”

“If you came here when they first opened and weren't impressed, I recommend giving them another chance. I think it took me a year to come back, but it was so good (and reasonably priced) that I ended up ordering from here about 3 times within that week. The quality of the meat (chicken specifically) is where I noticed the most improvement. Don't know if it's a different supplier or they're just cooking it better, but it's worth trying the platters and shawarma. Also recommend ordering the platter in person at least once if you're able to. They have a nice set up where you can build your own platter on the spot so it's highly customizable and the staff is super friendly.”

“ACTUAL RATING: 4.5
Our usual place was closed. So we decided to give Go Fish a try. Definitely not disappointed! Fish was fresh and tasty. Rolls were creative and delicious. Portions weren’t skimpy. The reason for the half star deduction: it is a bit pricey. That said, we’ll definitely be back.”
“Amazing food! The rice was slightly undercooked but the flavors were perfect. It's a little above what I'd expect on the price averaging about $25-30 a plate but I can guarantee that this is a spot I'll be returning to!
They also have a little store with some interesting finds wich was nice to walk around while we waited for our food.”
