“Love this place so happy they opened this! Did I mention they have wings??”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hook Kabob’s mixed plate for six was a total hit! Everyone at our work potluck loved it — completely devoured, nothing left. Fresh, flavorful, and definitely the standout of the day!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Good food but they don’t offer a cup of water for paying customers. Paid $40 for two burgers, two fries, one soda can, and some sauces. Yet they didn’t want to give me a cup of water! Stingey”
“Food is Laways great here. Especially the Xinkali. I've had it many times and its always on Point. Just recently tried the xash and it was awesome. Everything is a bit on the pricy side but then again quality costs. I just wish they cost a little less then maybe we can use them more often then not.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“If there’s one thing I love, it’s teriyaki plus. This restaurant is so inconspicuous and a sleeper hit of the area. It’s charming and the food is well priced and so flavorful. We got the katsu bowl, the gyoza and chicken kabobs. All perfect. I can’t quite explain why this place is so cute and charming but as soon as you step inside you can feel that you’re walking in to your new favorite restaurant.”
“Our sandwich was amazing! The salsa verde was extremely fresh, the bun was toasted to a nice crisp and the sandwich was delicious. We honestly didn't know what to expect when we pulled into the strip mall where it was located in Van Nuys. We were pleasantly surprised and we will come back!”
“E excellent Middle Eastern restaurant, family atmosphere. Their messages are great. The workers are excellent. The owner is Ellie’s very very good. I would highly recommend this place.”
Outdoor Dining
“I was craving Italian food tonight, and ordered from here. What a treat! Delicious food! Friendly service, very aesthetic restaurant, and fairly priced. Can't ask for more! I had Lenguini with clams and Hawaiian pizza. Shared with my mom. We both loved it !!! Will definitely order again. Highly recommend! Must try.”
“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?”
“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!”
“Maria provided excellent service and made the entire experience very enjoyable. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was taken care of quickly and professionally. Her positive attitude and attention to detail really stood out. It’s clear she takes pride in her work and genuinely cares about providing great service. I would definitely recommend Maria and look forward to being helped by her again in the future.”
“Pretty decent spot 👍
We got the meat platter, string beans, shrimp wontons and house chow main with thin noodle… it was all tasty.
Would I return? Yes I would 🙂↕️”

It's my first time here in this simple looking hidden gem and I had a great experience. They barely opened when I came so the store was clean. Their menu had so many variations of Thai food and most of them looked delicious.
I ordered the Thai coffee, shrimp and pork spring rolls, steamed pot stickers and the seafood combination fried rice with added chicken.
The Thai iced cofee were very good, although I am not really a coffee person, I liked it.
Their pork and shrimp eggrolls were not bad and the steamed pot stickers were awesome.
The fried rice came with shrimp, squid, and 4 pieces if fried fish plus I asked them to add some chicken on it. It was fantastic!
I could finish it all because the portion was generous and i only cost $40 something dollar for everything.”
“Everything here is good. Carnitas and beef birria are our favorites. The parilladas and special family packs are great when you need to feed the whole family. Workers are always friendly and helpful. Don't sleep on the butcher shop in back, too. Grab some chorizo Salvadoraneo!”

“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!”
“Awesome food with lots of great flavor. We enjoyed our experience and definitely would recommend to others to try. 10/10”
“First time coming here last weekend and it was great. Great staff back of the house and front of the house. Food is very flavorful. They all have fresh squeezed juices. By far my favorite. It's a small place but it's great to have a small lunch or dinner date. I come on the weekend for brunch and we loved the chilaquiles and the birria burrito. Will definitely come back again.”

“This evening I stopped by the drive-thru to pick up a combo. I was helped by a guy named Ibin, and I believe he’s a perfect example of how customer communication should be. He instantly lifts your mood. Overall, the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. The food is tasty, and everything is served quickly — it’s a place you want to come back to.”
“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.”
“My wife stopped by this Carl's Jr on the way home from work to grab dinner. This location is on her way back and she was hungry. When she arrived to the place, there was only two cars in the drive thru lane so she ordered through there.
She got herself the Santa Fe sandwich and I asked for the Double Famous Star burger with no onion. The price is on the higher end here but the burger is much bigger than other places. My wife loved her Santa Fe sandwich because that's her go to. The Double Famous Star burger I thought was delicious and I haven't had any Carl's Jr in maybe over three years.”
“The day is Friday and I haven’t had much sleep after a late night out. I’ve been barely getting through the workday and nothing really sounds good to eat. Suddenly the idea of a good ole Taco Bell experience comes to mind. THIS Taco Bell delivered. Friendly staff, clean shop, and a well made burrito. So here I am chillin at my table typing up this review during my lunch hour. Thanks for making and keeping a loyal customer out of me. Love ya”
“Los Tres Potrillos is locally owned and operated. They offer fresh meat, authentic Hispanic merchandises and amazing service! I highly recommend this place if you are looking for authentic Hispanic merchandise. The price is good and it is located in Van Nuys.”
“The service was excellent. The meal was delicious. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained. I visited here three times: alone and with friends and coworkers. I ordered extra spicy Blaze ramen with pork and extra bamboo shoots. I wholeheartedly recommend this place.”
“Just wanted to share that Brian, our waiter was super kind. He was so present with our needs, constantly came by to check on us and even told us to get home safely after leaving. You can tell when people are on autopilot sometimes but we felt like people (there were 8 of us) and it felt like he was serving just us, even with lots of people here. (It was dinner time on Saturday).
The staff was good but shout out to our server Brian. We can tell you do things with love. :)
And oh yeah the meat was good too! Lol”

“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.”
“The food is good and varied with vegetarian options which I appreciate. I suggest not using Class Pass to pay, it can be problematic (as it sometimes is with other businesses as well). But Shawn did a great job trying to help with the Class Pass issues so I could get the food ordered (or in this case replacements) and I appreciate that, thank you!”
“Authentic Thai gem on Oxnard Blvd! From the warm Sawadika welcome to the last bite, everything was perfect.
Creamy Tom Ka Kai soup, flavorful Spicy Basil Chicken, crunchy Cashew Chicken, and heavenly Mango Sticky Rice.
Family-owned, friendly hosts, fresh ingredients, and true Thai taste. Highly recommended!”
“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”
“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.”
“Very cozy and friendly staff owner is very polite and on top of everything 🙂”

“Love Jo&Go Sushi. They saved me when we first moved to LA and while the house was being remodeled.
4 years later... it's still as good as first discovered. It's a neighborhood gem inside the Korean Greenland Mrkt, which btw, is also awesome.
Must try is the salmon bowl, the salmon slices are so tender and buttery... they give you a crazy amount of salmon over the rice and seriously it's enough to have a 2nd meal! One note about the bowl... I'm not a fan of drenching really good cooked rice with sauce, so I always order without the sauce. The rice is not sushi rice which makes it even more delicious... the rice is always perfectly cooked. You get a miso soup and a cute little container of pickled radish (delish). I would love to know where they source the fish... it's like being in Japan, it's so fresh.
I'll be catering with them soon and happy to update the review post order.
The kind woman who takes the order is so sweet and cute, always smiling...says hi and bye all the time.
If you're in the area, definitely give it a try for takeaway.”

“I always tell people that beans and limes is the best in the valley. Most taco spots are the same, but beans and limes hits different. Most of the time I’ll drive to Boyle heights, bellflower, or downy for good taco spots, but when in the valley this is the number one spot! Always satisfied.”
“Randomly craved quesadillas for breakfast (ikr) and was skeptical due to the massive L’s I’ve taken in every genre of food in LA recently. So I chose a food truck nearby and pulled up bc of the amazing reviews. Boy did I make the right decision. Maggie the cashier was so nice and asked me how my morning was, very upbeat service. Food came out in perfect timing and was one of the best quesadillas I had in a minute, if not years. I will be visiting again. 10/10 ⭐️”
“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 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 ”
“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.”

“Cemitas Don Adrián is a true gem for authentic Mexican flavors! The cemitas are incredible—fresh bread, layered perfectly with meats, cheese, and all the right toppings. The tacos de cecina are absolutely delicious, packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. And the salsas? So good! Each one adds a perfect touch, from spicy to tangy, making every bite unforgettable. The service is friendly, the portions are generous, and the food tastes just like home. Highly recommend for anyone craving real, flavorful Mexican food!”
“Great service, food, prices and a very clean eatery. They give free chips and salsa. The staff were very friendly. I ordered their chicken and shredded beef enchiladas. They were stuffed with meat and topped with fresh lettuce, avocado and cheese. Their crunchy taco was the same. Great place to get fresh made to order food for the same price you’d pay if you went to a fast food spot.”
“Dear Lord,,, I was working in the area. ( Lifeline Plumbing Inc.) Hit Us Up. San Diego And Los Angeles County. Wasn't going to do a 2.5 hrs drive down south. So I drove up the street had 2 spot opposite side of the same block. Made the right choice. Thanks to La Vijita in line, she said why do you think I am waiting. Cash only for sure. The spot wasn't even open and we were making line,,,, lol. Shit well worth the few minutes of anticipation. Tacos where fire. The ribs dear lord. Pulled down my truck bed door and shit no shame I went to town. The folks where looking and I offered room for those like myself that were just plane huuungry. Ill be back!”
“The Fish ceviche is THEE best!! Fresh made enchilada sauce, wonderful table salsas and chips, rice is bomb, fresh seafood everything made to order. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“I was REALLY craving nigerian food after trying it for the first time a couple months ago from a different place in Sacramento. This seemed the only place in the valley to get egusi and fufu so I tried it despite the mixed reviews and I thought it was great. It definitely hit the spot and came with plenty of goat. The goat smell was a little strong but it was all tender and I liked it. Its a ghost kitchen so obviously you'll have to order online and pick up.”
“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!”

“We had a nice existing, outdoor table stand with a weather destroyed table top. I shopped on the internet for a nice, teak table top. Restaurant Seating Barn Furniture had a good selection of teak table tops at good price points. We ordered a 36” round, teak table tops at and we really like it. It arrived in short order and the quality was nice. I teak oiled the top and bottom. It turned out fabulous!”
