“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!”
“My wife and I are new to the area and wanted pizza from somewhere other than Dominoes and Pizza hut. My wife and I gave Mr.Pizza a shot and lets just say we will be coming back forsure. Combo Pizza pie tasted better than any of the big chains and we didnt feel bloated afterwards. Green salad was fresh and crunchy. Give them a shot if big pizza chains have you feeling meh like us lol.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“I ordered the grilled salmon and really enjoyed it. It was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. The portion was good, and everything tasted great. You can tell they care about the quality of their food. I would definitely order it again!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Amazing food! Made to order, clean and beautiful dining area, excellent customer service. Tacos Al pastor, tacos de chicharrón, gorditas Xochipilli, chilaquiles, a few of my favorites. The best spot in the valley for authentic Mexican food.”
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!”
“As a realtor, my days are often long and nonstop, so having something quick, delicious, and easy to prepare at home is a lifesaver. We always buy the frozen Khinkali from Gev’s Kitchen, and they never disappoint!
They’re perfect for serving guests, taste amazing, and are so simple to cook after a busy day of showing homes to clients. Truly one of our favorite go-to meals. Highly recommend!”
“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”

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!”
“Highly recommend! Delicious food, first and foremost, that is CONSISTENTLY good. Plus, it's a reasonable wait for it. We place an order, take our time getting ready, then walk over. All told, 20-30 min on average, and typically enough to share or have leftovers for later.”
“Food is so fresh, and flavorful. I really love the breakfast potatoes.”
“Let’s just say I’m here at least once a week- with takeout or dine in. Original Italian with the family vibe. Good Italian— not overpriced, mediocre garbage. The good stuff. Their pizza at this location specifically is always fresh, and they don’t cheap out. Cannot say enough good things. Huge fan and always will be!”

“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”
“My wife got us late lunch from this Jack In the Box since it's on her way home. She used the drive thru and order us the Jack Spicy Chicken sandwich with cheese. She then also a small French fries and her favorite the stuffed jalapenos.
We thought the Jack Spicy Chicken was good, we usually order that from any Jack location. The fries were good and my wife loved her stuffed jalapenos.”
“Saturday at noon. All the stars aligned. Found parking right in front. Minimal wait for a table of 6. By the tine the rest of our party arrived they were ready to seat us. Afterwards we walked around 99 ranch next door to burn off some of the food.
Our group ordered as family style and here is our hit list:
1. Sam Woo platter (roast duck, roast pork, chinese bbq pork, soy sauce chicken) - 1
2. Hot sour soup
3. French style beef - C5
4. Orange chicken
5. Eggplant with minced pork (spicy)
6. Bbq pork Fried rice”

“Stopped at this place after looking up a dessert shop that sells rolled ice cream.
You definitely get what you pay for. Plenty of thick rolls (4 in total) of selected flavors with up to three toppings to choose from.
I chose the lime with graham cracker flavor and it was creamy, crunchy, and cool to taste. The server/ice cream prepped was very polite, professional, and prompt in taking our orders and in preparing the ice cream. A very nice experience.”
“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!”
“Really loved the pho that I got. Good portion of protein, all the sauces are on the table along with chopsticks, spoons and napkins which for me is a deal breaker at a pho place if those things arent on every table. Its always a good sign that the food is delicious because high turnover can afford you to do that. If youre in the area I highly reccomend.”
“Extremely pleasant experience, I walked in and was greeted by the friendly staff thank you Sean for taking care of me and showing me all the delicious healthy food y’all have. Will be coming again because it is very affordable at only 10 dollars a plate unable to feed myself and my kids.”
“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”
“Most advanced taco truck I’ve ever been to. Walk up order on an iPad that’s playing music (+vibes), ordering was easy to edit my preferences and tap to pay, they have a menu with PICTURES of all their food (I wish every restaurant and food truck would do this it’s very helpful) and they call out ur name when it’s ready. Burrito was incredible 10/10”
“Otto Sushi has been our favorite sushi place for years, and honestly, no matter how many other places we try, we always come back.
One thing we love most is consistency. Every single time we order, we know exactly what we’re going to get: incredibly fresh fish, beautifully prepared rolls, and food that is clearly made with care and attention to detail. There’s never any disappointment and never any guessing whether this order will be as good as the last one.
What sets Otto Sushi apart is the quality. The fish is always fresh and flavorful, the portions are generous, and every ingredient feels thoughtfully selected. Nothing tastes mass-produced or rushed. The sauces, seasonings, and flavor combinations are balanced perfectly, allowing each ingredient to shine without overwhelming the others.
It’s hard to describe, but you can genuinely taste the difference between sushi that’s simply made and sushi that’s crafted by people who care about what they’re serving. Every bite feels fresh, clean, and incredibly satisfying.
At this point, whenever we place an order, we actually look forward to its arrival because we know Otto Sushi will never let us down. The food is always delicious, consistently high-quality, and prepared with the same attention to detail we’ve come to appreciate over the years.
Thank you, Otto Sushi, for setting the standard so high and for being our go-to place whenever we’re craving great Japanese food. Highly recommended!”
“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.”

“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 stopped by V’s Grill on an ordinary evening, the kind that slips quietly into the next without leaving much behind. The parking lot was half full, the neon sign humming softly above the entrance, drawing people in from the darkness one table at a time.
Inside, the atmosphere was comfortable enough. Conversations floated through the room like distant radio stations, overlapping and fading into one another. The staff moved steadily between tables, carrying plates and glasses with practiced efficiency.
The food arrived without much fanfare. It was good, satisfying, and prepared properly. Nothing felt extraordinary, but nothing felt disappointing either. The meal did what a meal is supposed to do—it filled the space between hunger and contentment.
There are restaurants you remember for years, and there are restaurants you simply appreciate for being there when you need them. V’s Grill felt like the latter. A dependable stop along the road rather than a destination in itself.
When I left, the night looked much the same as when I arrived. The sign still glowed. Customers still came and went. Life continued quietly around it.
In the end, V’s Grill provided a pleasant enough experience. Not unforgettable, not disappointing—just a solid place to sit down, enjoy a meal, and let the evening pass by.”
“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”

“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.”
“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!”
“Tijuana Grill is one of the best spots for Latin American food! The chef is incredibly talented and every dish is full of authentic flavor. The staff is welcoming, the restaurant is very clean, and the atmosphere is great.
Definitely try the tortas, burritos, and beverages — you won’t regret it!”
“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.”
“I am truly head over heels for this place as is my partner! We can order one meal (noodles w/two entrees) for $13 and it will feed the both of us with a little leftover for a small lunch the next day. The staff is always so sweet and I've always felt so welcome here. Their noodles are literally one of my favorite things in this city.”
“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!”
“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!!!”

“Just had to alter my diet (doctors orders) and I sure miss my double QP w/cheese! One of the top 5 fast food burgers out there. InNout's Double Double, the Habit's Double Char burger w/cheese, Jack's Bacon Double Smash burger, and Shake Shack Double Cheeseburger are the other 4...and doc says I can't eat any of them anymore!”
“Been going to this Wendy's for a 2-3 years, usually a couple, often a few times a week, mostly via drive through, but maybe once a month in doors. The food is on point and the staff whether day or night are always super friendly. I saw some bad google reviews and I dont know what they're talking about. This location is clean and popular and stays busy. Great tasting, reliable chain restaurant and great staff!”

“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!”
“Love it me gusta mucho la amabilidad y tienen los chilaquiles mas deliciosos que e probado 👌😋😋”
