“This is the highest quality, authentic Indian cuisine offered anywhere. Even the buffet is high quality, high caliber, and high vibrational. The ingredients - the veggies and even the spices - are fresh and bursting with flavor ... but not too much spice and flavor. It isn't salty. It's extremely satisfying. When one notices the decor, the cuisine and the warm service, one has no doubt whatsoever that the hands that serve and prepare the food are guided by hearts full of LOVE. That's it in a nutshell. This food tastes like LOVE.”
“It was a great place to watch the Superbowl. The food was fantastic, quick and a great value. We will return soon!”
“Loved the food and vibe. It’s nice to have vegan options at a regular restaurant. Everything we had was tasty and fresh. Carrot ginger soup was amazing. Separate plant-based menu and they cook vegan items separately. Updated from previous review on 2026-06-02”
“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.”

“We had a great dining experience at Urban Plates in Long Beach. Mariana explained the menu choices in a very unrushed manner, and we decided on the steak. I ordered the Chimichurri grass-fed steak with balsamic brussel sprouts and herb-roasted potatoes. All of it was delicious ( and healthy too!). The deserts were absolutely killer too. We will definitely eat here again next time we're in Long Beach.”
“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!”

“The people are so nice and they dont take more 10 mins to have my order ready! The food is delicious ❤️”
“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.”

“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!”
“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”
“This is an overall great place for a group setting. It was too hot to eat outdoor but there is a nice patio. It's in a large shopping mall so not a particularly romantic setting. However, the meals are reasonably priced. We really liked the fact that we could have separate checks.”

“The Pan Kitchen is a pretty solid restaurant. Whenever I try a new Thai place, I always try the pad kra pao. I enjoyed their take on it; it was flavorful and spicy.
The curry we ordered, though, had this intense orangeness to it and smelled like canned tomato sauce. It tasted way better than it smelled, but the initial impression was just... Odd.
The service was fine, though a little slow - and we were the only ones in the place for most of our dinner. The servers spent a lot of time loudly talking behind the register. Which like, I don't care, except when I'm waiting for a refill or something...
The place is cute though, nice decor, vibrant with plants.
The other parts of the menu like hotpot and boba, I'm sure, are worth checking out.”
“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.”
“This is one of the great dining experiences in the Los Angeles area. If you like sushi, then this has to be on the list. It's like having a private chef for the night. Forget you know who in Malibu, this is another level. Make the trip, it will end up on your top 10 list of meals in your life.”
“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.”
“Great vibe fantastic pizza and the best antipasto salad 😁 keto lovers they offer cauliflower crust we are trying next”

“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 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!”
“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.”
“Huge variety of shaved ice love all the flavors I have tried 🍧”
“Fresh, no skimping, great options, friendly service, order always correct, open all day. Best sushi spot in East Ventura County/Conejo!”

“Para el dueño: Cual es su regla de regreso cuando se vende un producto que está echado a perder? El Viernes 10/21 compramos comida como muchas veces ya que somos clientes desde hace 4 años. Uno de los productos fue una jaiba imitación, la pedimos en la carnicería y no la dieron en una bolsa, al llegar a casa nos dimos cuenta que estaba echada a perder, no pensamos que fuera un problema, nunca nos había pasado y este producto no es de su tienda solo lo revenden. Hablamos a la tienda y les informamos de lo qué pasó, la joven nos dijo que lo lleváramos para de nos devolvieran el dinero. La tienda cierra a las 8 y no pudimos. Al siguiente día fuimos y la joven que estaba según ella de manager, se porto súper grosera, nos gritó que porque no nos habíamos fijado en la fecha de caducidad, que porque nos habíamos esperado hasta el siguiente día y después nos aventó el dinero y nos dijo que nos fuéramos. Esta actitud es inaceptable, dudo que el dueño quiera sepa o esté de acuerdo con la actitud de esta mujer. No volveremos a esta tienda y haremos todo lo posible para que le gente sepa de esto y ya no compren aquí.”
“Thank you so much Alex for squeezing us in after the restaurant was bought out tonight. As business owners in hospitality and customer service, we truly appreciate your kindness and effort to go above and beyond from beginning to end. You’re one of a kind and the experience was better than we have had in the 6+ years of being loyal customers. Thank you so much.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Had these bundt cakes at a birthday party on Saturday evening and they were fantastic. I tried the vanilla, red velvet, and chocolate. All were really good. I especially liked the chocolate one. Rich chocolate flavor, moist, with just the right amount of frosting. I appreciate that the frosting wasn't too sweet so that the flavors weren't overpowered. Lots of attention to all details made for outstanding results.”
“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.”
“Delicious! Friendly staff. Games at the tables. Comfortable for all.”

“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 go there often. The seafood is fresh and the lamb entrees are both outstanding! The service is always very efficient, welcoming and accommodating! We love this place! I highly recommend.”
“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!!!”

“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.”

“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.”
“I will say eating here in person is a much better experience than drive thru, if you can stop here and eat, that’s the way to go. It tastes better fresh and not soggy from the containers taking it home, that’s how it was better in All the states previously, there were some who figured out better to curb some of the humidity on a to go order but it’s always best eaten at the location. Good job Thousand Oaks, you’re getting there 👍🏽”
“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.”
