“I would think that they have same ol' same ol' okay food, but it's genuinely delicious. We had the katsu burger with fries, honey truffle fried chicken and two drinks (hh menu). Everything was really good. The chicken was so good and crispy. The burger was so filling and loved the coleslaw in the burger. I came on a Saturday evening before happy hour ended at 6:30pm. I tried the katsu burger with fries and enjoyed it a lot.“
“The Waba Grill in North Hollywood is an excellent choice for lunch because the service there is amazing!! The service is fantastic, large in part, do to Stephanie. I don't remember the last time I've had such consistency in customer service anywhere and it kept us coming back. Love It!! Thanks Stephanie!!“
“Yes it's right next to a gas station but that shouldn't put you off, the place is pretty good. There are only 4 parking sports directly in front so at a busy time I can see this being an issue.The service was great. The waiter was very friendly and helpful in case we had any questions.The food ranges from decent to good. The Black Garlic Miso Ramen wasn't hot enough for me and way too salty. The tofu that I ordered as my protein was cold. The Lady Gaga sushi was a mixed bag. The toppings were a great combination of flavor but the tuna itself wasn't very good. I wouldn't order it again personally. That being said, we did really enjoy the Shrimp Tempura Cut Roll. It's not the best I've had but still very good. The Garlic Edamame as a starter was pretty amazing I have to say. Definitely get that! The Bluefin Tuna sushi we tried was also very good actually.I liked the ambiance inside: nice and clean with appealing decor. It's not really a place for a romantic dinner but it's not aiming for that anyway. Would certainly recommend if you're in the area.“
“I remember coming to the shop for sushi rice when I was pregnant. Whom had seemed to be the owner of the shop ending up being incredibly kind and accomplished. I felt welcome and I bought all of my poke bowls there ever since. Sadly I moved out of state and will miss their poke. Really kind, welcoming atmosphere, and good poke!“
“We came here on a whim, after finding The Daily Outpost mysteriously closed on a Friday evening. Umigame is so good! Everything, from the poke bowl, salmon teriyaki, brussels sprouts, and edamame, were perfect! High quality food beautifully prepared. Very good service also. We will definitely be back.“
“April 2024: Yes!Regular = 3 scoops of protein, 5 toppings, 3 sauces for $17. That's value.I came in here and was blown away by how fresh and clean everything is. Great staff! Two young kids work in the counter in tandem with each other.My whole experience here was great. I have to say that for $17 getting somewhere in the vicinity of like a pound to 2 lb of rice and protein and poke and all the toppings, and the sauces, the flavor combination is just incredible. I cannot stress how fresh the albacore, tuna, and salmon are. I mean you can literally see, taste, and experience the Great quality.For the local tourist, day trip person, someone who wants to experience downtown Burbank, anyone passing through, this is definitely a place where you get your money's worth.Very casual atmosphere, shorts and t-shirt type vibe.Parking: street only. San Fernando has a 90-minute limit per space. Be careful, some spots or 10 minute only. There are two free structures closer to Orange Grove that are Unlimited for about 22 hours. No parking 3am-5am. So if you have to leave your car there overnight, fair warning that you might get ticketed and towed.“
“Honestly I'm hesitant to write this review as finally there is a delicious ma and pa k spot in the hood!!!! So glad they opened up here and have been a regular !! If your craving some k town in studio city and don't want to deal with the 101 this is the place!!!“
“We decided to give this location another try and we were blown away by all of the delicious meals they prepared. The shrimp pad see ew was flavored to perfection. The crab fried right was just right and the spicey fried rice was balanced with the right amount of heat. You can always request the kitchen to turn up or turn down the spice level according to your taste buds. Try the lychee martini, you will thank me later. The service was five-star from the moment we walked in. We were greeted with a warm welcome and our waitress made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our dining experience. The restaurant is small and intimate, perfect for a local date night. We had a great time guys, thank you and we will see you guys again soon.“
“So good! I tried a number of menu items and loved each. The shrimp soup was perfectly spicy and packed with wonderful flavors, the appetizers (hot wings and chicken skewers) were outstanding and my entree - pad see ew with beef was just perfect. The service was ideal - helpful fast and informative. I'll definitely be back very often!“
“The food was really good which is reflected in the stars. When we got there, no one in the dining room - no customers, no employees. So we stood there and called out and eventually some one came out to seat us. Not much atmosphere, but overlooked for good fresh flavorful food. Most annoying thing is that the phone kept ringing with a high-pitched whine, and no one answered it. I want to subtract another star for that, but the food was too good.“
“This is my new favorite Thai spot! I always get take-out/delivery so can't attest to the service but so far my orders have always been accurate and hot! My go-to order is the chicken pad Thai and the filet mignon with garlic string beans. The pad Thai stands out to others because of their sauce (I get mine extra saucy). Will be ordering again soon!“
“I've been coming here for years, I can't believe I haven't written a review! I love their food. My favorite item to order is their mung bean pad thai, although I wish there was an option to get it with soy chicken or beef and not just tofu skewers. The tofu cubes are huge so the flavor doesn't really penetrate them. I like this dish because the noodles and veggies are flavorful. My family also enjoys cashew nut lover dish and the buddha rolls. Those are so filling, I can just get those and be happy. If you like thai tea, you must try it here. So good. One star off because parking is difficult, especially on weekends, and it's a little pricy for me. The good thing is that inflation has led to all restaurants raising their prices in the last couple of years, so I am more used to it and not as bothered as I used to be . Note: the seats are incredibly uncomfortable so if you dine in and have back issues like me, bring a cushion.“
“Awesome little hidden gem in the Eagle Rock plaza, everything we got was so good, very fresh and came out pretty quickly too. Highly recommend the popcorn lobster appetizer, and any rolls/sushi/sashimi you get you can't go wrong with!!“
“I have been on the hunt for good/decent boba in Burbank. I think this place is it. They have tacos, croissant sandwiches, bowls, ice cream and boba drinks. The best part is that everyday from 5p-8p drinks are buy one get one half off. That is a deal!!I had the blended tiger milk tea and the blended Thai tea. Both were good. The tiger milk tea was creamy enough so I enjoyed that a lot. The Thai tea wasn't too bad either. I will be back to try their other drinks on the menu.“
“Will definitely need to return and try their other dishes!!!This little gem sits in the corner of a fairly small shopping center.I tried their chicken pad Thai, and baby, when I tell you that their spice had my nose running. I choose 4 out of 5 spice level and I should have gone with 3 lol. I'm happy that when they Say spicy, they mean it. I've been to many places that claim spicy, but this one is legit.I went during the lunch special hour, which I believe runs from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. The lunch special includes your choice of soup or salad, I chose the soup which was a fried egg soup, It was very delicious. My main course was the chicken pad Thai, and it was very tasty. You could actually taste and see the color of the sauce they use, the noodles were a dark brown. The chicken itself was tender, but, I believe they use chicken breast which runs a little on the dry side, but the amount of sauce they use makes up for it. I also ordered the Thai milk team, and it was divine. The portions were great, no complaints, this is definitely a deal. I will be returning to try other dishes.The staff were very friendly, and right away you notice that they are making an effort to be friendly with their clients. The waiter asked if this was my first time, which lets me know that they make an effort to remember their customers. Both waiters were very attentive, and even though they were somewhat busy, they ensured to follow up with me. I was so full after my meal, I did not have any room for dessert. But, hopefully next time!Parking isn't the most difficult, but it is limited in their parking lot. Luckily, there is residential parking adjacent to the restaurant. Just keep an eye out on the parking restrictions, you don't want a ticket.The restroom was very clean when I used it, and they had a scented candle that was lit.The restaurant itself was pretty small, and seating was a little bit tight, but you would comfortably be able to sit a table of four. But, that's also coming from someone who's fairly thin. Unfortunately, there is no outdoor seating. But, that's not a big deal.I highly recommend trying this place out, just keep in mind that their spicy is actually spicy lol. Also, their muscled up fortune kitty is hilarious, love it!. ?Kid-friendliness: Not very kid friendly as the restaurant is small and the takes are a bit close to each other.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, but not extremely easy.“
“ONE OF MY NEW FAVORITE VEGAN SPOTS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!!! It was located in such a great spot in LA! So many of the other Vegan spots had no dining or where hidden but this one was easy to find, the service was absolutely outstanding and the service was literally one of the best servers I’ve ever had! She was so lit up and full of life, so kind and one of the other servers was also so so kind! It was all Vegan and 100% ALL VEGAN GOLDEN JACKPOT OF GOLD! ? I can’t even emphasize enough how lovely this place was! There was nature inside and out, the presentation of the food was outstanding! They served me a drink in a fresh coconut and it was so so yummy + I got so so full and was so very overjoyed! You’ve got to try the Vegan crispy chicken sandwich it was so soooo yummy!! 15/10 ? I can’t recommend enough!“
“Upon stumbling upon this charming little hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurant, we were warmly greeted by the owner and promptly seated. After perusing the menu, we decided to start our culinary adventure with the Crispy Rolls priced at $11. These fried spring rolls filled with glass noodles, cabbage, carrots, and taro, served with a delightful sweet and sour sauce, were a vegan delight.For our main courses, we indulged in the flavorful Pat Thai priced at $15, featuring rice noodles with beef, eggs, bean curd, sweet radish, bean sprouts, and green onions, all topped with roasted peanuts. Our second entrée was the Suji Dry priced at $17, a generous portion of glass noodles stir-fried with chicken, garlic, celery, carrots, Napa cabbage, and onions, tossed in a savory Japanese Sukiyaki sauce. The portion sizes were surprisingly large, easily satisfying two people per plate and proving to be great value for the price.The restaurant exuded a cozy, homely ambiance that instantly put us at ease. The welcoming atmosphere, coupled with the soothing background music, enhanced our dining experience. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant for its delicious food, generous portions, and inviting atmosphere. It's a hidden gem that deserves to be shared with others seeking a memorable dining experience. I look forward to returning to explore more of their menu offerings in the future.Vegetarian options: Most of the dishes if not all can be eaten without and meat.Parking: There are paid parking or free parking less than block away.“
“The customer service makes this place amazing. They treat you great here. Definitely not the best shabu shabu that I've been to.. But it's pretty good. I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes to get seated. And when you're seated they're pretty attentive. They have a great selection of meat. And they also have appetizers of sushi. They have a bar of sauces that you can choose from.“
“I love Oishi Sushi! Their sushi, sashimi and rolls are melt in your mouth! Please get their Rising Hamachi roll, Salmon carpaccio and Seared Albacore with Crispy onion! Their sushi are all delicious especially the jumbo scallop! Great service as well. Can’t wait to come back!“
“Really great pad see ew and good service. The soft drinks have free refills and come in huge glasses so that's a plus as well. The restaurant was quiet and the tables were a bit close together, so that wasn't ideal, but overall def worth it for the great food.“
“This was my first order from here. I could just tell that they do care about their customers. I love Pad Thai I know it's like the most basic thing but not everyplace can hit it. Everytime I order through Postmates or door dash from different places that would be only 15 mins away, The Pad Thai would just get so dry and got no flavor when it gets to me eventho there would be a request saying "please make it extra saucy" no one seemed to ever listen. But Delish Thai Kitchen CAME THROUGH with the extra saucy and so much flavor. And they even left me a note I really do appreciate that you did that. Thank you Gonna be my favorite place to order from now.“
“I’m not a fan of sushi, but the food in this restaurant was really great. Went here with a friend of a friend who knows the place and we eat what he considered that is best. We shared around 5-6 different sushi and all were delicious. The restaurant is on this location from 1975.“
“Service was a little slow for having 3 tables in the whole building. The food was really good. We ordered some drunken noodles and 2 pad see ew. They were delicious. I asked for a 7 spice level. Boy, did it have me sweating. Even though it was spicy I couldn't stop eating.“
“10/10 service :)Incredibly kind and generous staff. We ordered pineapple fried rice and forgot to mention our party had a peanut allergy. They immediately replaced it without hesitation which they did not need to since it was our mistake for forgetting to mention it.The food was delicious without it being overly salty. It also felt like the ingredients were fresh and cleaner than most!Environment was really clean and cute. It would be a great spot for those with allergies or food sensitivities because it feels like they put an emphasis on cleanliness. Bonus: we came on a friday and they had live music. Love!Dietary restrictions: Peanut allergy“
“ALL ABOUT POKE A poke chain, I will be back to get more from!:) Feels like FAST FOOD minus the GUILT AND FRIED STUFF, with a lot more color and flavor :) Delicious I got the SPICY TUNA, SALMON ALBACORE, and soba noodles with salad. YUZU PONZU SAUCE + Sweet CHILI sauce they said you can mix up to 3 sauces free. *Honestly I wish I added a creamy sauce ! Definitely going with spicy mayo next time I pretty much got all the veggies and fruit toppings that were free :) fruit being tangerine and pineapple Overall I liked the portion and taste :) 7.5/10 for me Follow me for more food trips "LIVING WITH LUCI"“
“I'm giving this a 4 because it's good for Chinese fast food, probably more of a 3.5 but we can't do that, the food quality is not the best but the taste is good with everything being moist and juicy, I live off of Sepulveda and Devonshire so it wasn't something I will not be going to much because of distance but had to try it and was pleased with it.“
“Has the potential to be the best Chinese food in the valley but they suffer from terrible inconsistencies. Dining in is really your only option as delivery is often cold and mushy. Lunch is great! Dinner, (same dishes), not so much. The bearded waiter is definitely a &$£€ and not cut out to be a service person. He definitely takes away from the dining experience which is a shame because dining in gets you far superior food to their takeout.“
“Really like this little place - kind of our favorite thai restaurant in burbank - friendly service and good food, but...takeout is served in NON-RECYCLABLE plastic - I'm gonna have to try and find another place just 'cause of this. Wish they would use more eco-friendly packaging!“
“Wonderful as always.Was waited by Pani, who I know from both LA and Studio City locations. Hadn't seen her in a couple of years, and the moment she met me as I came through the door, I was reminded of what a warm and gracious hostess she has always been. Plus, the fairly priced vegie soup was as warm and wonderfully filled with my fave orange, white, and green delectable that I fondly remember that keep me coming back for more!Vegetarian options: PlentyParking: Large shared lot“
“This is one of my go to Thai restaurants in Burbank. My favorite is the combination chow mein which is very delicious while being light and healthy. The vegetable flavor from the celery really enhances it and the beef and chicken was extremely tender. it only comes with two pieces of shrimp but it was Tasty. Very friendly staff and easy parking is a bonus. The pad thai and pad see ew are also very good.“
“This Thai spot is phenomenal. The owner cooks food that is authentic, plated beautifully, and unapologetically flavorful. Each bite is a time travel bomb that takes me back to the time I was gorging myself at street food vendor stalls in Bangkok. The location is within an office space area used for AA and community meetings. It comes across humble and the dining area is separate from the actual community building space. The tables are clean and extremely well kept. The owner clearly pays attention to detail when it comes to maintaining her dining area and silverware/cutlery. The owner herself is very accommodating and welcoming. She takes the time to answer questions about the menu and offers adjustments to spice levels if needed. She also cooks and serves all the food herself with the help of one other individual in the back kitchen, so patience is key but completely worth the time investment. The food was so outrageously delicious I didn't have time to take more pics the first time I went. It was so good in fact, I came back immediately the next day to try the crab fried rice pictured below. The serving sizes are generous and the spice and flavor is second to none. I'm so impressed with how high quality all the dishes are and everything tastes so impeccably fresh. Crab fried rice - the crab meat is legitimately fresh and generously portioned. The rice is well seasoned and the veggies mixed in with the egg are a perfect compliment to the crab. I really enjoyed this dish and it comes with a side of spicy seasoning sauce you can add to kick up the heat a notch. Crying Tiger - not pictured below, but man what a stand out dish. The flavor of the rib eye pieces are so well balanced and the dipping sauce for the meat is so distinct it really adds depth to the rice and salad accompaniments. I really enjoyed the dressing on the salad as well, and the amount again did not disappoint. I have nothing but overall praise to give this place and I know I will be frequenting this spot often for the foreseeable future.“
“Cool place! We were there for Sunday brunch on 3/17/24 celebrating a friend’s birthday, he got a free shot! We had the French toast, Brussels sprouts, Cauliflower fried wings, the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, all delicious! And the service was excellent! Definitely going back.“
“Food is always good. My husband likes the sashimi deluxe platter. And I love the two-item dinner special with saba and beef short ribs. The grilled saba is juicy and full of flavor, better than my home made broiled saba. And the Japanese salad dressing is probably more authentic than those in other restaurants. Have been here a few years. Both service and food have been consistent and good quality.“
“I love Poke! I have been to the store in Burbank and Glendale and both have amazing customer service! I like their great attitude and have never had a bad experience with them. I became a regular at both stores because of this as well lol, keep up the good work guys!!“
“Wow, everything that we picked was delicious! I had a coworker recommend them, and it was definitely worth the visit. The service from the staff was excellent!! Totally worth it!! I wish I took pictures. I will next time.Kid-friendliness: Staff were very friendly with the kids.“
“I started ordering from this place via DoorDash but since they’re close by I thought I’d just go directly for takeout. They make their food SO fast!I’m a huge noodle soup guy and they have all kinds of options. I’ve ordered the boat noodle and duck noodle soups so far and both have been so good! I would normally have to drive to Chinatown for this kind of quality!Parking in the complex is abundant. This is definitely becoming my go-to comfort food spot.“
“My absolute GO TO for great Chinese Food!! This restaurant reminds of the great Chinese food we used to have growing up on the east coast!I always get the shrimp fried rice and the shrimp lo main. And they have great portion sizes. Even my parents eat from here when they visit from the east coast!!Thank you Emperor Express!!Brandon Larkins“
“First time eating here; very impressed. Service was friendly and prompt. I had Kimchi Ramen, which was as spicy as promised. The pork was cooked perfectly, IMO - tender, and so tasty. The Kimchi was also good, and that spicy broth was just what I was looking for. My husband had Veggie Ramen with Kale Noodles. He liked it a lot. The broth was miso based (being appropriate for Vegans), which he liked, and he preferred the texture of the kale noodles to my regular flour noodles. It was supposed to come with raw tofu, but unfortunately that was accidentally left out. Mentioned it to the super nice person who helped us, and she deducted $2 from our bill. He should have said something immediately, but forgot it should've had tofu, until he saw the bill. Overall an excellent experience.“
“The ice cream flavors here are INSANE and I was obsessed with them. They describe them as artisan Thai gelato and there are flavors I'm sure you can't get anywhere else. Located at Smorgasburg LA and they are kind to give you samples (I really wanted to try them all). Black Sesame - perhaps the best black sesame ice cream I have ever tasted! Pesto alla Thailanese - strong notes of basil with a savory undertone from the olive oil, this was amazing and I would get a whole pint of it every week.“
“Generous portions, tasty food, awesome topping selection, great price, and very attentive to our daughter’s allergies! We will definitely be back.Vegetarian options: Tofu option for protein, lots of veggie toppings.Dietary restrictions: Our daughter has allergies to dairy, nuts and eggs. They made sure to note it on her order and took care not to cross contaminate.Kid-friendliness: Fun atmosphere, attentive to our daughter’s allergies and she really enjoyed filling out her order slip and picking out all of her own toppings.“
“Saw the grand opening sign and decided to check it out and I'm so glad I did! The food was amazing. So flavorful! We got the carne asada plate and the Salvadoran breakfast. The person who attended us was so nice and it was a vibe inside. Will definitely be back!“
“My favorite is the Spicy Basil Leaves with mushrooms, etc. with its unique flavor and aroma. This is what I order most of the time combined with meats and shrimp. I'm looking forward to trying the other dishes. One thing I recommend in general, try not to stray away too much from the original ingredients such as asking to exclude spices, etc. as this takes away from the soul of the dish and actually changes the flavor and intent of the Thai recipe.“
“The food was good. Most of the people in our party got the sushi which was really good.One of us got the ramen and said the broth was just okay, not bad but they’ve had better.The atmosphere is probably our favorite thing about the place and the fruit flavored sake is delicious!Kid-friendliness: There were people with their kids at the restaurant. The booths and separated with a fairly decently tall wall which creates room for privacy. I didn’t notice any as a distraction during our time there.Wheelchair accessibility: The entryway has a good amount of room and there is a side dining area that I saw which looks like it had plenty of space to get a wheelchair in and out of.“
“So first off, the food is good. Service is good. Ambiance is good. However, the portions are small for their price. Have been going since they opened and the portions then were much larger then, than now. By about half as much. But the plates are larger. Had the Duck Curry and there were like 5-6 small pieces of Duck meat. Mostly tomato, lychee, and pineapple.“
“Love this place, the service is ok mostly teenagers so it's expected to be the friendliest service but it's not bad. The place itself usually doesn't have a lot of people dining in so it's not a bad place to eat at. The food is alway good we have never had an issue so far with any of our orders.“
Sushi • $$
“Zen is a place I have been wanting to try for a while. I stopped because I did not want to get started on a traffic filled commute. I tried what i would call a sampler platter. I was surprised the sushi was good. The salmon was super fresh. I spent over $40.00 and left pretty hungry. LOL. I would guess that a "foodie" like me would have to spend at least 75.00 to have the meal that i would want. Its a super casual place and for a local sushi I guess in order to survive all these type places have hiked their prices so they can pay their rent. My review on the place is a bit mixed up but the quality of the fish was good which is how I usually judge a sushi restaurant.“
Chinese • $$
“This is the best Chinese food in all of Sherman Oaks--and believe me, I have looked. I moved here from having spent my entire life being surrounded by good Chinese food, and I was depressed at the lack of options. Until I found Bamboo Cuisine. This place does Chinese food the right way, authentically and super fresh! It's a little bit more upscale/pricier than your local Chinese takeout spots--but the price you pay is absolutely reflected in the quality of the food. I love that it's also family-owned, and the servers actually speak Chinese (and obviously, English)--which is important to me. I came here on Lunar New Year once as I was feeling home sick, and was so touched at their good mood, and accommodation. They ended up sending me home with a complimentary quart of soup, which was so kind! My usual orders are Yang Chow Fried Rice, Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings, Bamboo Chicken, Beef & Broccoli--but truly everything I've had here is delicious and authentic. I order from them at least once a week!“
“I saw a post regarding this place and decided to stop by to try them out, the post I saw showed that they were very generous with their portions, I can confirm that they do serve humongous portions that you can just barely close the lid of the food Container.I ordered the chow mien/fried rice with spicy pork and 3pcs fried chicken wings, I love the spicy pork, the fried rice and chow mien were also good. They have other foods I have to try out.The servers were friendly and professionalThe dining area feels kinda divey but functional and clean, I came in around 5:30pm, not sure of their operating hours. I looked for and didn’t see a sign stating their hours, I wish they have a self serve soda fountain instead of selling them by the can.Parking: Mini strip mall type parking lot“
“I love the food In this place, great portions and good taste, but the best thing is their staff, specifically Francisco.I had left my wallet on the chair where I was sitting and left, didn’t notice until the next day.Fortunately Francisco found my wallet, not only did he keep it safe but he went out of his way to bring it all the way to my house.I’m Happy to know that honest and kind people still exist in this world.Thanks for your kindness and honesty Francisco, you definitely saved me from a huge headache.“
“I really like this place! One of the best places to eat in Tujunga. Friendly staff, great food. I also like that they play jazz on the speakers. I recommend the KBBQ Beef Fries and the KBBQ Salad. At their price point I don't think they're trying to be a bargain - but they're fairly priced considering they serve quality food.“
