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!”

“Amazing old school pizza place with fantastic pizza, pasta and salads. My friends from NY who are pizza snobs turned me onto Lido. It definitely is quality food. Best part is its better the next day. I get pie and have ot Friday, Saturday and if there is any left on Sunday as well.”
“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.”

“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!”

“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?”

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair friendly with a ramp to the entrance”
“I had the chicken katsu for lunch and the portion size was so large I couldn’t finish it in one sitting but it was one of the best restaurants I’ve tried since being out here. I had to take my husband here for dinner and he got the chicken teriyaki, shrimp and steak and finished his entire plate. This place definitely deserves to be on your review board.”
“I absolutely Love Love Love this place! If you haven’t tried it yet you are missing out big time. The pastry can’t be beat. Delicious, scrumptious, lick your fingers good, you will want one of every thing. Don’t take my word for it. Don’t wait! Run now. Go. What are you waiting for….”

“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 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!”
“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. 🔥🍲”
“Grandma’s Thai Restaurant hits the spot for comfort Thai food. The Pad Thai my favorite. Perfectly balanced, flavorful, and cooked just right. The rest of the menu is solid too, with generous portions and friendly service. The interior could use a bit of a refresh, but there’s a certain charm to its cozy, lived-in vibe. Worth grabbing a pickup order.”
“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!!!!”
“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.”
“Food is fair priced and comes out extremely fast. Great quality and wonderful flavor. The Hostess was super friendly.”
“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.”

“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.”
“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 😋”
“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!”
Takeout Restaurants
“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.”
“Love this place! Great food spectacular customer service. Always open late true to their hours posted! Quality is always the same. Never any issues with food orders.
They also offer dine in during late nights which is convenient for a lot of people.
Nice comfortable dining experience. Always a clean space which is 10/10 in my books”
“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.”
“It was really relaxing and the feeling when you enter the store is like you’re in a place when nothing can go wrong. I don’t know what some of you mean when you say service was bad. Our waiter is so polit and understanding. She was kind and helpful when she suggested a few things and answered our questions to the menu. The food was better than anything I’ve ever tasted in my life of eating sushi. Some of the rice felt like it had been left out for a while but nothing major. Most of the rice was really good though. The parking was tight so you should park outside but that is beside the point. The food was awesome.”
“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!”
“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 ”
“I like this location over the other locations because there is always parking, friendly service, and very quick! While the ramen choices aren't traditional, they are very consistent and tastes good all the same! I think they have the best tofu in ramen, it is soft and silky without falling apart. Their garlic edamame is also very tasty!”
“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.”

“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!”
“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”
“So I decided to check out V's Grill based on the reviews and it being close to work and I'm glad I did! I ordered the shrimp burrito and it was a flavor bomb explosion in my mouth! From salty to crunchy and I could taste the lime/ lemon that was added to that shrimp. I can't wait to try another item from their menu. They charge $1 for card transactions”
“BEST COLDSTONE IN CALIFORNIA. Open late, Great service, Cleanliness is out of this world, and to top it all of ICEEE CREAMMM❤️side note: no other cold stone in LA have marshmallow sauce is a underrated topping thats usually found at frozen yogurt spots……
Yara Yassin and Natalie are the Best! They wont disappoint, their customer service is so welcoming, it is literally the reason why I come to this cold-stone ONLY i would never step foot in another coldstone unless they are working there! Bless their souls and for those who have experienced their greatness!!!”
“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!”
“Very kind staff, accomodative with the polite approach, Diego & Juan not only are great store associates, they reflect what every Papa John's Pizzeria should reflect where they're never afraid to help meet the customer's expectations, engage in conversation being themselves around others/everyone, & display a can do attitude knowing that they'll always make a difference even if its the smallest order. They have the biggest hearts in the entirety of the San Fernando Valley as I personally commend them for going above & beyond, from what seems as a simple carryout order, is a spark of friendship, mutualism, support, & benefit. Bless their hearts. 🙏🏻👍🏻🤝🏻🇺🇸🫡❤️”

“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“I'm a lover of Mexican Food, and this place is definitely one of the best out there. I try different Mexican food spots all the time to look for unique flavor & they have it in spades and definitely keeps me coming back. Love the "Big Burrito", that thing is massive and matches my massive appetite lol. Their salsas are also on point, no other place tastes like their salsa so cutos on that. I haven't had the chance to dine in yet, only delivery because of my work schedule but I always add "special instructions" to my order because I like what I like and I like things a certain way and they always follow it without fail. So thank you guys for that service ?.”
“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.”
“Was highly recommended by a co worker this is my place to go for popusas in the valley. I agree the lady in the front is a bit grumpy at times. But I take home all the time to avoid that problem. Recomend to order by phone 15-25 min before pick up just because sometimes it gets a bit busy an might take longer than usual. Prices are fare for the food quality you get don't expect cheap for good quality food.”
“"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.”
