“If I could give this place 10 stars I would. My husband and I love trying new places. We found this place on the hunt for the best khinkalis. We visited the actual store front first. The woman helping us could not have been more helpful, patient, and kind. I do sometimes look a bit Armenian which leads people to assume I can speak Armenian or Russian which is always a good laugh. She made excellent suggestions and gave us a very accurate timeframe of how long it would take to prepare. Since then we have ordered via UberEats 2x more and each time things were EXPERTLY packaged - literally the nicest to-go bag and perfectly portioned condiments. We were blown away. The food itself is so flavorful and the ingredients are high quality and you can tell they take pride in what they do.”
“Such an amazing place with authentic Armenian and Sryian cuisine. This place has really stepped it up. Food is incredible, one of the best in LA for middle easter, service is attentive and great. The atmosphere is nice but could be better. Hard to hear or have a conversation, could use some acoustic panels and spacing between tables.”

“This is like your Korean friends mom’s kitchen. Very homey feel. Delicious food. Everything I’ve tried has been good. Most authentic Korean food in the valley. Big fan. Their potato and cucumber banchan is next level, I wish they could let me order just those two in a big container.”
Outdoor Dining
“Look.. there’s meh, good, damn good, and just wow. Bills is in the middle between damn good and just wow.
The food is just absolutely amazing. The burgers have this flavor you can’t find anywhere else.
Yes you have to wait a bit because the burgers are made from scratch, but it makes it that much better.
Easily one of the best burgers in Southern California”
“it was exactly what we were looking for and definitely will be back! Delicious fresh thoughtful food, something for everyone. As a vegetarian I was delighted at the options. I had the roasted cauliflower and yam salad and it was scrumptious. Not to mention they have outdoor seating in the shade which is lovely and they welcomed my doggies with a bowl of water and chunks of chicken! thanks!”
“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?”

“This is hands down one of my favorite kbbq spots. The food is great, no frills, just good meat and sides. My favorite thing about this place has to be the service. We arrived at 8pm on a Saturday, and there was no wait! We had three different servers attending to us this evening, and they checked in on us constantly, making sure we had everything we wanted. And they're fast and so friendly! Another great bonus is that the overhead vents are so strong, I never feel gross and oily after eating here like I do with other kbbq spots.”
“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!”
“My husband and love this spot food taste delicious service is great we live in Palmdale but drive to this spot no question ask? we known owner for years he’s really nice guy.

“Delicious Thai food restaurant open late night great prices I can't complain. They're pad Thai is absolutely delicious. I also love getting a Thai tea there with some tum yum soup . Definitely recommend they do take out too but you can also eat inside for a cozy date night”
“I’ve tried almost every pizza place in the area, and nothing compares to this one. The crust is perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy inside, the sauce is rich and flavorful, and the cheese – wow, always melted just right. I usually get the pepperoni or veggie supreme, and every bite tastes fresh and homemade. The staff is always friendly and the service is fast, even when they’re busy. Highly recommend – 10/10.”
“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!!!!”
“Fantastic Bánh mì - pork and pâté Just $4.75. The baguette was perfect. Crusty outside soft in the middle. The vegetables on the sandwich were so fresh and crunchy. Mayo is included on the sandwich, but there was so little I hardly noticed. This sandwich did not need anything else. I’m going back to try the rest of them. 9-10 varieties Bánh mì. 10 inch roll. I ate half in the Am and half at lunch. Again, just $4.75!”
“Your sourdough bread is the BEST bread I have ever had. We finished off a whole round loaf in 2 days. I’m now in a mission to track them down when they are in the area so I can buy them out!!!”
“We’ve been enjoying their food for over 20 years! I live out of state now, but still eat here whenever I’m in town. Hats off to the owner for keeping the authentic taste.”

“I have to leave a comment on excellent customer service from Elbi! I came in today 6/6 ordered food, but I only had a large bill 🤦♂️ Elbi took care of the change delay with no problem and lightning fast. She was polite and professional, something you just don't see in fast food much these days.
Give her a raise! Definitely an asset to your location.

“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 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.”
“The food is so delicious we ordered the island spaghetti,fried chicken w/rice and fried plantain everything was super fresh and flavorful! And be sure to pick up the passion fruit juice it’s so refreshing! I will be going back for more 😋”
“Very cozy and friendly staff owner is very polite and on top of everything 🙂”
“My local ramen spot in Valley Glen, Los Angeles, California on the border of Van Nuys and neighboring North Hollwood. Ramen Izakaya is great from take out or dine with a plethora of beverage options as well as eats. Available through doordashz grubhub and ubereats this small chain biz has an incredible creamy vegan ramen, spicy lemon grass ramen, veggie spring rolls, tofu nuggets, shishito peppers, edamame, rice bowls, salads, soups and lots of traditional Japanese and ramen dishes that will please your taste buds times two. They have some decent outdoor seating, but incredibly indoor and a huge parking lot in back. The service is always good and usually very personable. A unique Japanese cuisine eatery with some LA Valley flavor and modern plant-based flare.”

“We are from out of state and stoped here for a late night dinner. The staff were very nice and fast compared to other pizza places. Place was a little small but it gave it a homie type of feel. I don’t know if it was just me being really hungry but that pizza was heavenly. We paid around $23 for medium pizza + soda. I overall would come here again next time I’m in cali.”
“I stopped by this Everytable to try their breakfast burrito. Veronica was the person working today and she was very helpful along with providing amazing customer service. Everything they have here is all prepackaged which I didn't know. Veronica found the breakfast burrito for me and highly recommend the BBQ chicken salad as well so I got those two items. The breakfast burrito was delicious but you'll need your own salsa or sauce because it doesn't come with one. The BBQ chicken salad was also delicious as well.”
“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’ve been meaning to try this place for so long and today I was finally able to. I’ve had chicken sandwiches from Howlin Rays and LeCoupe and this is on that level. It isn’t easy to find a good fried chicken sandwich in the valley and I was incredibly (and surprisingly) pleased. A shame that due to slow business they will be shutting down in October. If in the area give it a try! There was only one man working and he was incredibly kind and attentive!”
“I have been wanting to go here for about 3 years, finally went over there. it's pricey, but man, is it good I had captain crunch. Roll it all out and put in whatever toppings you want and work it into the ice cream, roll it out and then make little tight Vietnamese roles, & they have bubble waffles, which is Just awesome.”
“This place was on my watchlist for a while and I decided to go on my birthday. It was absolutely incredible!! So much better than I ever thought it would be. I seriously mean this, if you like Thai food at all, cancel whatever your lunch or dinner plans are and come here immediately. Absolutely mind-blowing how incredible their food is!!!”
“delicious, fresh, clean, excellent food and service and place.we had amazing grilled lamb chop , greek salad, eggplant salad, labne yogurt and lavash bread....so yummy”
“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 ”
“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!”

“I tried this place for the first time and I was so impressed! It was better than 3 other locations I tried! I want to thank the young man that helped me towards the end of my dining experience. I went to use the bathroom and he bussed my food. I had saved the best for last and didn’t get to eat it lol! He said he would make it for me again but I asked if it can be to go. After a little bit I must have had a sad face, he made what I had for me to go. It left a really good impression with me. I will definitely be back at this location again! It was clean! Fun and quality was amazing! Way to go guys!”
“My Favorite Sushi spot in the valley. Always super fresh. Had the BSCR. Been a long time since I had scallops cooked as perfectly as these. Melt in your mouth. Kind of hard to describe what makes this place so special. The flavors are always a notch above all others.”
“review_stars 01/04/2025 - Ray Beker The Best Lahmajune in All of Southern California. They have Zahtar Maneishe. Cheese Beorek. Spinach Beorek. Spicy Cheese Beorek. Meat Beorek. Potato Beorek. Special order Mini Party Sizes . The Best prices. No order is too big or small.”

“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”
“Great food , great prices and great people. This place is my go to sushi spot throughout the whole valley, nothing beats the flavor and the portions. The staff is also very kind hearted and welcoming as well as insightful in case you don't really know what you're looking for. Sometimes there can be a wait on food but only because they're incredibly popular and I'd even say a valley classic at this point. Make sure to try the baked shrimp crunch roll, baked salmon roll or the udon noodles!”
“Worst food I've ever had. We walked in. There was tables in front of the dining area. Asked if we could dine in she said oh yeah for you no problems. Ordered. The scallop roll and spicy yellow tail was the slimiest and most disgusting fish I've ever eaten. Where's food!! Would recommend only using the bathroom there which was unkempt and poorly maintained!!”
“Noah's Ark Restaurant is a delightful dining experience. The quality and variety of dishes, as well as the attentive staff, make for a satisfying visit. Their seafood is a standout, showcasing the chef's talent. It's a gastronomic journey worth taking. Highly recommended!”
“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.”

“First of all, Great customer service, and they are quick with the drinks.
All teas are fresh brewed which made my Thai Tea boba outstanding, I also was able to lessen the sugar which made the Tea flavor stand out more. Much appreciated.
My wife loved the Peach Yakult with boba and her Monster Boba Latte.
I like that they have a variety of teas and not just Jasmine and Thai Tea.
Seating is plenty and and great music and atmosphere.
I highly recommend.”
“The smash burger here is flavorful, with a crisp sear and well-balanced toppings, and the fries are reliably satisfying. The fry sauce is a standout, adding an extra layer of richness that complements the sides. On execution, the kitchen delivers.
The problem is the price. Portions are modest, yet the cost is high for what you get. Smash burgers are meant to be straightforward and satisfying, but here the price far outweighs the portion and experience. While the flavor and sides are commendable, diners are left feeling they’ve overpaid for what is essentially dressed up fast food.”
“Good cemitas at this location, but there are other Don Adrian spots in the valley. So if this place is too far, another might be closer.
Cemitas are like gourmet tortas that are tasty, toasty, chewy, cheesy, spicy, and big. Be aware that a small cemita is actually pretty big. I don't know what a large look like, though I saw a customer cutting their torta in half.”
“I stop there on my road trip from New Hampshire to Idaho! don’t ask me how I got to California! But this food truck was by far the best food truck. I’ve had in California and I’ve been to plenty of them as I do transport fur babies across the country. Five stars if I could give them 10 stars, I would. By the way I live in Georgia, and they have every restaurant in Beach that I’ve been to”
“Good Salvadoran place, they have several I times that other places doest have. Like tropical sodas and queso quajada. One thing I really loves is they have yuca frita with pepesca. Very excellent”
“"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.”
“La Sabrosa Restaurant is a hidden gem that captures the heart and soul of Latin American cuisine. Tucked away in a cozy corner, this restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience. The moment you walk in, the inviting ambiance and the rich aroma of spices promise a culinary adventure.The menu boasts a delectable selection of dishes from various Latin American countries, each prepared with authenticity and passion. From mouthwatering arepas to succulent carne asada, every bite is a celebration of flavors.During my visit, our waitress, Gabriela, provided exceptional service. Her warm and friendly demeanor made us feel right at home. Gabriela was well-versed in the menu, offering insightful recommendations and ensuring that all our needs were met.La Sabrosa Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone seeking a taste of Latin American culinary delights, and with Gabriela's attentive service, it becomes an even more remarkable dining experience.”

“I love how this Wendy's location is always so fast. When they have a collab like the SpongeBob or Takis collab never did I see it with a super long line and it is not that no people were going. These guys will get your order so fast I love it. Whoever the manager is their props 👏 for running your A team See you guys on your next collab.”

“I was looking around for a cuisine that I dont normally have an opportunity to have, and I saw this lovely Greek shop. Such a good dinner decision! The staff were kind and attentive, first and foremost, which I appreciated. I had the falafel gyro with garlic parm fries, and I was going to have the baklava, but they were out! They offered me the s'more gyro as an alternative since I'm not a fan of cheesecake. The falafel was well seasoned with the veggies providing a bright and fresh contrast. The fries were crispy and very garlicky (my fav!!) with a tzatziki sauce that brought a nice creaminess. And the s'more gyro?? I wasn't disappointed, and I will definitely be ordering it myself next time! They also had some lovely Greek rap playing while I waited for my to-go, which I enjoyed immensely. Overall, I'd come again and try something new on the menu 🤤”
