15136 Stagg St, Van Nuys

“This Nigerian food spot is hands down the best in town! Every dish on the menu is absolutely addictive. So I heard that it’s not just a favorite among Nigerian celebrities but also African celebrities visiting LA. Finally had the chance to try it myself today, and it lived up to the hype! Saw even an Asian woman ordering, which shows how amazing the food is lol Despite living far, I finally made the trip and was thoroughly impressed, especially by the signature pepper goat! Omg it is sooooo good! And soooo Tender! I’d say order that as a side plate! The rice, stew fish, the soups! Got me two types with my fufu! Like everything is top notch. Couldn't resist trying the pepper goat pie too! I might as well! Hahaha lol Ended up ordering enough to last me till Monday The customer service is excellent, with friendly staff. Check out YouTube reviews! They also got great reviews on there!. If you're in LA, don't miss out on Pepper Goat! You might even run into the owner, who's incredibly nice and welcoming! ???????????? I'm definitely planning to spend every other weekends or so ordering from Pepper Goat Kitchen! It'll be a great break from cooking on Saturdays and Sundays hahaha ??? Thanks guys! Definitely coming back ????”

Kebab Halebi 15333 Sherman Way, Van Nuys Syrian • $$

“This place is truly a hidden gem. So much flavor and the menu is full of amazing items. I've had pretty much everything on the menu by now and they are so consistent. Great service too always sweet and professional. My to die for items is the Adana kebab and the fried cheese pastry (can remember what it's called) but it's an hot appetizer and it's so freaking good you'll eat the whole damn plate by yourself. I also love that they allow you to order appetizers either full portion or half. This way you can get a ton of mini appetizers and have a feast. :) love this option me and my husband always take advantage and order a ton of appetizers”

“Stopped by this business earlier this afternoon and met the owner. Was in awe of the quality of food and service. Humble people, incredible quality of food, and a beautiful small business we drove 40 mins based on a friend's recommendation. Personally I don't understand the few haters who wrote negative reviews on this place - all I can say is this place tops every single Armenian food and catering business we've ordered 10s of thousands of service/food from! In summary we loved everything about the place - quality of food, service, ambiance, and will recommend it unequivocally to all friends and family. Moreover, we will go out of our way to order future catering from Gev's kitchen. Way to go my new friend, you earned our business and trust for years to come!”

“Their food is great. The molcajete can be shared between three that's how big I felt it was. Their drinks are delicious I got one drink it came in a coconut it was sweet and creamy it had so much juice they had to bring it in a separate cup. Their micheladas preparadas are good too they put shrimp around it. Sometimes it can be very packed depending on what time you go but it's worth it and the environment it's always friendly, both times I came I got to listen to mariachi”

The owner is a sweet heart! if you're in the Glendale area they also have a location there as well and they're both equally as good as each other. The owner runs them very well and I really enjoy the food. It's actually very well priced and it's a good deal for the money I love the place and you will like it as well. I highly recommend it”

AYCE GOGI Van Nuys 7128 Van Nuys Blvd, Van Nuys Korean • $$
7128 Van Nuys Blvd, Van Nuys

“There is no other Korean BBQ in my opinion that taste as good as this place.With that being said they are very expensive but worth every penny.Sometimes I bring my son and he doesn't want to eat anything but white rice and even though on the menu it says that everyone sitting down will be charged the waiters and waitresses let us get away with it. That's the reason why we keep coming back because we want to bring everyone here and not everyone wants to eat the unlimited. So this makes it worth it for us so we can all be there as a family.You do want to check the gratuity charges first. To make sure you're comfortable with the way they do things here. Me personally I don't believe that anyone should charge gratuity up front not till after the service is rendered. Because what if you get horrible service and you're already charged for it that's not right.But with all that being said I recommend this place if you're looking for a amazing Korean barbecue. My family and I go here all the time.There's even an arcade in the back so don't miss out on that while you're waiting to be seated.”

Evergreen Restaurant 17621 Sherman Way, Van Nuys Korean • $$
17621 Sherman Way, Van Nuys

“I've dined at many of our Korean Restaurants in Los Angeles and Korea too, and I certainly love this small place. Of course their Galbi is the centerpiece of their menu but every dish is unique and resembles what I had in Seoul. The dishes are perfectly measured while the banchan is adequately similar to those in other similar restaurants. What separates Greenland is the nuances that make their dish a little uniquely from the Korean palate. The ambience is simple, but if you look around especially during their busy time, you see a mixture of Koreans and a spectrum of people packing this place. So, if you're starving for some Korean, come to Greenland and taste the dishes that makes them uniquely Korean.”

Although slightly less flavorful than I would have liked - it may have been my own fault for ordering a lower spice level.I had the cheese garlic naan and Chicken curry, both of which were delicious. The service was very fast and there was not much of a wait to get seated. This is a great restaurant to get good Indian food if you don’t want to wait too long.”

I have the Carne Molcajete with rice and beans, my friend had the Chile Relleno, kids had chicken nuggets and fries. My dish was so delicious, with homemade tortillas. I felt like I was sitting at someone's kitchen table. My friend's Chile Relleno was amazing too. She is Mexican and LOVED the food as well. The only thing I could say I wish were better seasoned are the refried beans. The Jicama was also delicious. I have a picky toddler who ate 4 of those chicken nuggets. That says a lot! Fries were good, and a good batter and good quality chicken in the nuggets. Food was def 10/10. Service was fast and friendly also! Can't wait to go back!”

I drove 30 minutes out of my way to come to Kinnara! They make the most amazing soft shell crab and add a side salad with it, it’s a soft shell crab salad! Then I get their yellow curry which is a staple and delicious but the drunken noodles is my favorite by far! Just the right amount of spice and flavor, this is by far one of the best Thai places in Southern California!”

TJ Korean BBQ / Monster Burgers 17623 Sherman Way, Van Nuys Asian • $$
17623 Sherman Way, Van Nuys

“There's something about using English on a menu that makes me initially feel like the restaurant isn't authentic and I will admit that when they advertise having confit, ribeye, NY steak, etc. I question the quality of it all. Still, I went with friends because the pricing was way better with the meat assortment than others in the area and I will say it did not disappoint!On a Thursday evening at 6pm, the restaurant only had 2 parties before us and I was pleasantly surprised at not having to wait.We ordered menu B for $34.99 as of writing this review and boy did we get full really quickly! We ordered the ribeye to start and if you read the fine print you can only order 1 steak per 2 people. You can order 4 meats at a time so we got kalbi, bulgogi, and brisket as well. The bulgogi was very lightly marinated but still packed a ton of flavor and of course the brisket and kalbi were delicious.I was surprised that the ribeye and New York steaks came out cooked at medium rare temperature, but I like that it saved us so much time from having to cook it ourselves as it is a 90 minute time limit.I don't like wasting food so I appreciated that the banchan was brought out upon request. The japchae, fish cakes, cucumber, and steamed egg were great.For drinks, we ordered yogurt soju and kloud beer. Everything was priced as you'd expect in a restaurant, which is of course at a higher mark up. I do hope in the future they can consider adding Beatboxes because they're inexpensive and fun to drink.The service was great. I was so full that I never really needed to call on the server for anything. One thing I wish they would do was play Korean music. It just adds a bit more authenticity to it than playing top 40 pop music. Other than that, though, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and look forward to returning for menu A in the future.(1/50--2024)”
