“Amazing fresh old school sushi ❤️❤️❤️❤️. The owner is so friendly and knowledgeable and it’s now my happy place!”
“A wonderful place! We ordered takeout for dinner, and everything was top-notch. The portions were generous, the food was delicious, and the service was great. The menu variety was impressive, with something for everyone. The prices are justified by the quality, and we were very satisfied. It’s a great spot to enjoy a good meal. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Muy rica pizza y sándwiches. Excelente servicio y el pan ni se diga. Si vas a tener alguna ocasión puedes aprovecha a ordenar tu pastel. Revisar la Página de Instagram para ver qué lindos los hacen y aparte de eso riquísimos.”

“I had been craving Efo Riro (vegetable soup), pounded yam, and Jollof for a while now and was told to try The Peppered Goat. I ordered Jollof and chicken and it did not disappoint!! That rice was so good and the chicken was cooked to perfection falling off the bone. I do like my rice a little spicier as I am accustomed to about 3 habaneros but it was still good! The man that greeted me was super nice as well. I can't wait to go back for the pounded yam and vegetable!”

“Although I was sitting in Van Nuys, California, due to the authentic-ness of the food, I could’ve been in Mexico. Every bite was so flavorful and scrumptious I couldn’t believe how good it was. The rice, the refried beans which were more like a thick liquid and the three different tacos were so delectable my taste buds were exceptionally happy! The customer service by Pedro and his team were also exceptional. They are like a fine-tuned instrument. It was my first time but it will not be my last time. I work for HappyCow so I gave them some of our little stickers and an excellent review window decal. Updated from previous review on 2025-03-19”
“Defrankos was our first stop on our 12 day vacation from Canada. We got off the flyaway and walked down a few blocks with all of our luggage in tow. The staff were incredibly friendly, they gave us such a warm welcome to California… but beyond that the food was AMAZING. We are currently sitting at the airport going over our trip and all 3 of us agreed the very best food we had on this trip were our 3 subs from Defrankos. ❤️
Kid-friendliness: The staff were so friendly to our kiddo and really went above and beyond to make his experience great.”
“OTTO SUSHI was amazing their portions were generous but not huge so you know they weren’t prioritizing quantity over quality. Our order consisted of the chicken teriyaki bento box, eel avocado roll, and the garlic yellowtail roll i believe that was the name…everything was delicious but my favorite had to be the Garlic roll, the use of garlic chips unsparingly was the star of the show. We will definitely be back!”
“I've lived in the. neighborhood and always knew Baked It Myself was here but because of work and just being plain forgetful, i never had the chance to try it until a few weeks ago. I've been there once a week since and i'll continue to be a regular. Some of the best food in the area for a great price. I've stuck to their sandwiches so far: hanger steak panini, brie prosciutto and pear and the fried chicken and fries special. all three HIT. and the delicious free cookie with them is icing on the cake.
it's a side street on van nuys, no frills cozy inside with outdoor seating that's actually on one of the nicer feeling streets in this area.
Highly recommended.”
“You have to take it for what it is: an American diner place who does pizza. Is it better than Chuck E. Cheese? Absolutely. A lot better? Well, maybe. But the food is honest, the sort of out of time atmosphere good enough for me.
You don’t pay extra for decor and that ok. I love nostalgic food joints reminiscing of easier times e and this is one of my go to places for comfort food.
Long live to Lido Pizza”
“Consistently delicious and hearty meals that are priced right. Server is attentive and welcoming. Although small, the restaurant is always clean and comfortable. Shares a huge parking lot. Best of all, meals are cooked in the kitchen, not in the dining area, so you don't end up smelling like Korean food the rest of the day.”
Outdoor Dining
“Great product, great cause! I've been coming here for the last 3 years and the food has been consistently great. Lots of different options to choose from if you want sides or something other than just pizza. On top of all that, they share profits with local dog shelters, so you're helping dogs while enjoying great food.”
“Yesterday Nov 16 2024 I stopped here at chef M that I have never even noticed this joint tho I work two buildings down doing security on this date I went to grab some wings and they were lovely crisps to the perfection ??but I told I'd come back tomorrow to get a pizza long story short I AM GLAD I WENT? the meat lovers had everything u need and more♥️ once I walked in the atmosphere was top dollars with place mates and salt and pepper to the left, the service with his kind words of choices to the food, and don't even have to tell you which I am about the pizza if you like all the meats in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA get it ❤️ next thing on the list I want no sorry NEED to try ajarski,
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair friendly with a ramp to the entrance”
“Costa Grande Restaurant has received positive reviews for its authentic Mexican cuisine. If you're looking for fresh, handmade tortillas and flavorful dishes, it might be a great choice. The restaurant is known for its tacos, enchiladas verde, and burritos that impress even California transplants1. If you're in the Los Angeles area, the Van Nuys location also has good ratings, with customers praising its fish tacos and friendly service. Would you like more details on the menu or customer experiences?”

“A nice, family owned Thai restaurant with good prices and massive portions. This is a great place to go if you’re waiting for your appointment at SDI across the street. I had the pad thai without egg to make it vegan and they happily accommodated. Will come back again.”
“I stumbled upon this place while looking for a place to have dinner while working in Van Nuys for the evening. I had seen a photo of their taco plate on a Google review. So that’s what I decided to get. The man who took my order was polite and professional. I ordered the al pastor tacos with rice, refried beans and tortilla chips. I also had the agua de jamaica to drink. The price was very reasonable. After I ordered I walked into their dining room, which was small but comfortable. They had an open salsa bar which included red salsa, green salsa, coleslaw and radishes (all very fresh and tasted good). My food came out quickly and it was all delicious. I ate so quickly I forgot to take photos lol. Thank you, El Ranchito. You have a customer for life!”
“THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!AVACADO TERIYAKI BURGER WAS PHENOMENAL!!!! Every bite of burger had avocado not like other places where they put 2 pieces on it. It was loaded. If you drive past here daily like I used to, do yourself a favor and stop in. Your tastebuds will thank you!!!!”
“Was greeted with a smile and helped quickly. The food was also great! I had the Tom Kha soup and fried shrimp taquitos. Everything tasted so good, I decided to order shrimp tempura and wontons as my dessert instead of the mango sticky rice I was craving!
Very happy with my random decision to come here to eat.
I actually only came back to eat here because earlier in the day I ordered a Jasmine tea on ice and the vibe was so good I came back.
Anyway, you should Get High on Thai. 🔥🍲”
“Oh my God, there are such delicious ramen here, I will be happy to come here again. My order was prepared instantly in five minutes, inside there is a nice interior and pleasant staff”

“Well the whole reason we came is cause I wanted some fried zucchini with ranch and unfortunately they were outta ranch,😞oh man I was so down....... We thought!
I was down to 4 lil zuch's left and this sweet angle came around the corner and presented me with a single ranch cup and ladies and gentlemen that just made my freaking day let me tell you. I love the fact that simple things still bring me joy. 😁
5 Stars for this restaurant and the staff I can name drop my cashier who was super cool thanks Elby for your service.”
“We love their Bread. This place is our only go to place for all our Bread and Lavash needs. Today we went to their Take Out restaurant. We tried out their Kebabs and their Lahmajune. The Kebabs both chicken, pork and lule were all so delicious and the portions were fairly large, almost enough to feed two people. Their Lahmajune, I have to admit that it is the best one I ever had. So crunchy so fresh my entire family loved it. Also the People who work there were so nice and offered us great customer service. The place was also very clean. If you have not been to this place you have to go check it out yourself. We will definitely be back.”
“I come and have dinner at this restaurant since 2007 when my kids were little but now I only take my wife for a dinner sometimes and a good reason for it, is that we both enjoy how they treat us.
I came tonight again and they had my house keys i left on the seat last time i was there and they had them saved to give back to me.
I always recommend this location.
Thank you”
“I got into a fist fight with coworkers over the best fast food burgers. I got fired but I stand by my decision - the bacon double del is one of the best burgers out there. simple. amazing. Life changing. With a side of deluxe chili cheese fries and two chicken soft tacos... Nothing comes close.
I'd leave my family for another taste.”
“We came in just to get a cup of Ice and some ranch but it was literally the like 5th place we came to to get said items. Then on top of actually finding the vendor that will help us out they gave it to us for FREE!! YUP I said it free the 7-eleven we had just came from wanted $1.50 just for a cup of ice. So my hats off to you JACK I appreciate each and every employee in this establishment. 5 Stars.”
“I tried 3 types of pupusas, chicharron cheese, cheese with beans and another with beans, cheese, and chicharron, I loved them, they are very good 100% recommended apart from the fact that they were freshly made the taste was ”

“Mr. Pizza is definitely better than any pizza hut or dominoes. Me and the family ate in, and we enjoyed it. If I were a local, I would go there often if I wanted pizza or a quick dish. Unfortunately, I gave 4 stars due to the fact that there is a lot of better pizza out there. 4 stars is still good. So give them a try, I'm just a picky eater, lol. Great service. Wings were baked. That's a plus! Cheese pizza was delicious. Didn't care for the margarita pizza, The meatballs and spaghetti weren't bad for a quick dish,”
“I dont know what these other people are reviewing but these tortas are fire lol my gf put me on. Take out only which is great because the parking lot is small and theres always spot since people pick up and go. If you place your order at the window orders usually take 5-10mins. The wait is worth it. Had the #4 and #6 and a order of chalupas. All amazing, the Chipotle spread is very spicy so if you like them mild get the pickled jalapeños. Second time here, will be back.”
“Best golden Boba we have found! So much so, always a double serving. You never have to wait long for your drink, the staff are always pleasant, the drink is always just right. My favorite mix is pineapple and mango black tea, slight sugar are regular ice level.”
“This place is a legit Hole in The Wall. You get that cozy warm feeling here and it's one of the best Authentic flavors you can get. You can never go wrong with their Curry's they are all amazing. Yellow curry is my favorite, I always enjoy their dinner specials. Great thai tea, wonton soup. It's all so delicious. Thankful this little gem exists.❤️?”
“Very cozy and friendly staff owner is very polite and on top of everything 🙂”
“The cashier was on her phone when I walked up. I asked for tacos and a mulita. I told her the meat type that I wanted. She typed it it the iPad and kept asking, "What kind of meat?" After I told her many times and slowly. Even after repeating my order multiple times, she still got it wrong. However, the food was delicious. Not exactly what I wanted but it was very good!”
“the food was amazing! Overpriced if I may say. Just for two people we spend over $56. The chips were stale, waiter only checked on us once since we had ordered we were there for about 30-40mins, when we asked the waiter for our check he never came back he went to do other things from what we could see ordering food for other people (I think they’re short staffed?) we waited and waited until we decided to get up to the counter their was someone ahead of us then she left and the person behind the counter also left we waited there another 5-10mins. Then someone came back waited again for them to calculate how much it was. I need a box to go & when we came back to our table the guy was trying to throw away the food that was on the table since they were cleaning up & my bf had to run to tell them we’re taking it to go.
Food was amazing, I just don’t like waiting especially since we were in a rush & it wasn’t as busy as it was when we first go there.
I don’t think I recommend it to people just because of the long period wait time. but if you’re not in a rush give it a try food was good & the drinks. Just chips were stale & the salsa for the chips wasn’t good.”

“Tried the place for the first time. Ordered California burrito, and black bean burrito. Wasn’t expecting it to be really good. The burritos itself were delicious, the portions were good as well. The price was reasonable and taste buds were happy. Sitting are outside truck as well. Will go back for tacos, worth it. Recommended.
Vegetarian options: Black bean burrito, Grilled vegetables as a protein option.”
“By far the BEST Pizza in the Valley - if not all of California. Haven't tasted anything that even resembles a "REAL NY PIZZA" in LA till NOW! Combine the quality of the pizza with the value, and toss in the quick, attentive service and top it all off with a very friendly team of seasoned pros and there you have it, #TheRoyalPizza fit for a King (Or in this case a couple of Queens! This is Los Angeles, after all!) #TheBestOfLA #Love”
“I stopped by for a quick dinner on my way to LA Airport. You can't eat in the restaurant, only take out. Since we had nowhere to go, our family of four parked in the parking lot and ate it, but we inhaled a lot. They use more ingredients than other rolls, and each roll has its own unique characteristics. The miso soup that came with it was also good!”
“Came in on a Sunday and was immediately greeted by Leo. Leo was super welcoming, friendly and gave us recommendations on what we should try for the first time. We got lemon pepper and hot agave. First off, the wings are a great size compared to other spots in the area. The seasoning is absolutely on point and the flavors are immaculate!! From the service to the food this is definitely our new wing place. I'm excited to come back and see what the other flavors taste like. Thanks again Leo for your hospitality!
Parking: Parking on the street easily accessible”
“las redes sociales tienen un potencial enorme...quise venir a disfrutar quizas parte de comida tijuanense...es una lastima que empleadas como esta echen a perder todo...pedí 3 tacos y una coca...y no me puso la coca en la orden...me hizo esperar el tiempo que quiso para darme mi cambio...mientras esperaba vi como le hizo mal otra orden a un señor con discapacidades...y argumentaba que no podía cambiar la orden hasta que viniera un manager...y no somos perfectos..lo se..pero la actitud es muy importante...al estar apoyando al sr en silla de ruedas...ella volteo hacia a mi y me dijo que no me metiera donde no me llaman..total..me voy decepcionado”
“"Saltado" should be a Food Group. That....... Sauce.......... is what's had me Craving this Peruvian Dish since I tried it, back in 2009, at another restaurant. I recommend Chios' Shrimp and Seafood Saltados to everyone I happen to discuss Latinx Food with. ALWAYS, extra Sauce. I literally haven't tried anything else on the menu, Yet.”
“Vegetarian options: Ellos son muy amables si les dice que usted decea comer del menú sólo cambiarlo a mi conveniencia por salud ellos me ayudan siempre para cuidar mi dieta sobre las alergias. Muy agradecida . Y la amabilidad es excelente. La comida muy deliciosa.
Parking: Hay estacionamiento en la parte de enfrente y atrás del negocio y es muy grande el estacionamiento .”
“Going during the night time and ordering pizza with a couple of friends was my case. Parking was plentiful (it was night time).The pizza was delicious, and the wait time wasn't all that bad (it was night and they barely had anyone). We walked in, ordered, and sat down to await our Italian delight.The only complaint I have is that there were no disposable plates for the pizza and no ice in the drinks.Other than that. It wasn't all that bad.”
