Comfort Food Restaurants near Van Nuys, CA

“Went today for my Birthday Breakfast with my Sisters. Huevos Rancheros was amazing especially the black beans. Spinach, Ham Mushroom omelet was delicious especially with the Hot sauce. Look forward to returning. Service was with a smile.“

“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!!!“

“全世界最好喝的牛骨湯！拜託一定要嘗試，大火久燉絕不馬虎！太喜歡了！
The best soup ever! And the rice is really good as we’ll even take-out. My friend said their kimchi is authentic and surprisingly delicious(I don’t eat kimchi so.)The staffs there are welcoming. There are only sells the beef bone soup, after you tried you’ll know why. Because they just want to make a product the best, but they do it! Even though i don’t have soup often,this time i finished it all. It’s really worth visiting again!“

“Bad service for this business“

“Truly exceptional. Unexpectedly, my favorite Indian restaurant in LA. The level of cooking is without rival. Their Korma gravy is mind-blowing: deep, layered, complicated and unmatched. They used to include handwritten, poetic quotes on index cards in their takeout bags, a nice footnote they've since stopped but demonstrative of quality, fineness, and attention to detail.“

“Nice little waffle place! Place is very rustic and offers delicious waffles. I had the savoury grilled cheese with bisque and my wife had lemon custard. Both were amazing and I don’t think I’ll ever find anything like what we had today.

Sorry my wife threw up outside the restaurant but in her defence she is pregnant.“

“K Food Village on Sherman Way is a standout gem for authentic Korean cuisine! I recently visited and ordered the Bulgogi Combo with Tofu Seafood Soup and the Beef Short Rib—both dishes were absolutely delicious and worth every bite.

The Bulgogi was perfectly marinated, tender, and full of flavor, while the Tofu Seafood Soup was rich, comforting, and brimming with fresh shrimp, clams, and soft tofu. The pairing was a perfect balance of savory and spicy, making it an ideal combo. The Beef Short Rib (Galbi) was another highlight—succulent, smoky, and grilled to perfection.

What truly elevates the dining experience here are the banchan (side dishes). The variety was amazing: crisp and tangy kimchi, sweet glazed potatoes, crunchy bean sprouts, fresh cucumber salad, savory fish cakes, and more. Each side dish complemented the main dishes beautifully and added layers of texture and flavor to the meal.

On top of the incredible food, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. They made sure our water glasses were never empty and even explained the dishes when we had questions. The warm and welcoming atmosphere made us feel like valued guests.

If you’re craving authentic Korean food with generous portions, a wide array of banchan, and top-notch service, K Food Village on Sherman Way is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back for more!“

“We ordered through the donut shop that’s connected. The woman who helped us was so friendly and kind. We got the chicken teriyaki plate and the beef chow mein. Both were delicious! The food is so clean and fresh. We also got the cinnamon cronuts and they were SO good. She even surprised us with a couple free donut holes in our bag! We will definitely be back!“

“The host who founded the restaurant and learnt to cook by himself is also amazingly intelligent, friendly and helpful. Kudos to him!

The food is the BEST Punjabi food in US! Nothing more to add, PERIOD. Try it out and I might pay you if you're not completely satisfied!“

“I eat so much Korean food that it is super rare to find an authentic Korean dining experience that feels luxurious yet homemade at the same time. HanEuem genuinely surprised me and my party with the quality of food, with a special shoutout to the seafood pajeon/pancake. One of the best in flavor and crispiness that I’ve ever had in my life! So good! Although on the pricy side, everything we got was delicious and service was great. They are known for their seafood, so looking forward to trying that out next time!

What we ordered:
🥞 Seafood Pajeon / Pancake
🥩 LA Galbi
🌶️ Yuksoo Tteokbokki (Spicy Ricecake Stew)
🦪 Cockle Bibimbap

Parking Tip: Park at California Mart and walk over!“

“It's been a while since I posted it and ate it. It turned out like garlic bossam and green onion bossam.
You~~~~ I enjoyed eating the radish. It was so delicious because I wrapped it with the ssam (ssam) you gave me and the perilla leaves and jalapenos I had at home.^^
It was the happiest lunch I've had in a long time. I was impressed haha. Isn't garlic bossam the only flavor you get at Mr. Bossam? I haven't seen it anywhere else yet. I recommend it.

I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture haha.“

“We stopped here on our way from Hollywood to Glendora. We found it randomly with a Google search. The lovely lady who helped us was so friendly and kind! We took our donuts to go, and as soon as we bit into them, we were amazed by how very perfect they were!!! This is one of the best donut shops I’ve ever tried!!! Thank you!!“

“Todo estuvo excelente, primera vez que los visitamos y muy rico y limpio...muchas Gracias !.“

“Absolutely amazing! I have nothing bad to say about this place. It is a family owned business and they make their food with extra love. Every thing is made fresh to order and delicious. The sauces are on point, etc. My sister and I decided to try here for the first time with our kids, who are picky eaters and they absolutely loved it. We got the six pack with the green sauce and the marinara! All delicious. The owner is kind and informative if you have questions. We definitely will be back for catering or for ourselves hahaha. You will not be disappointed with these empanadas! Also, you order from the outside window, Do Not walk inside. They also have an app or you can call to place your order and pick it up. So many good things to say, not enough space. This is my family's new spot for delicious empanadas.

Parking: You can either park in front of the establishment or around the corner on the street.

Kid-friendliness: It's kid approved by picky eaters.“

“The sound at The Mint is fantastic and there’s always a cool vibe from the crowd. It’s a wide room so you can see well from anywhere. Food is very good (I LOVE the cheesesteak sandwich and shrimp salad) and great drinks. So many popular musicians got their start there and you never know who’ll pop up on stage or in the audience. Really fun! Highly recommend 😄“

“So delicious and fresh. I could eat here everyday! Ordered with Uber eats when visiting for a conference. Soupchu became my go to meal for my trip and felt healthy and satisfied hitting all the foodie spots. Chicken soup and stuffed eggplant was the best I’ve had in a long time!“

“First time at this place and to be honest, their Dinuguan and Pork Sisig were absolutely delicious! The Dinuguan here is the best because all the meat is tender, there’s no fat in sight at all, and it’s’ very saucy and goes well with white rice! The Pork Sisig is good too since it’s not spicy and it tastes pretty sweet. Overall, the Sisig was tasty after all.“

“So so so yummy. Please come to SF!“

“Fantastic food. And cocktails. And bartenders!“

“The psychedelic sando & og chicken sando were so awesome. Medium sauce had a kick but went well with the sandos. Fries were great! I highly recommend!!“

“It’s slow to get your order, but that’s because it’s made fresh. If your in a hurry, take it to go. Otherwise, the chicken is excellent.“

“Good food fast service. Bronzed Aussi meat pies were ok. Beef was the best I would get that again and eat 10 , lamb was good . , a little heavy on the rosemary...I can still taste it 30 min. later , same for the sausage . The chicken musroom and bacon was bland.“

“After seeing a suggestion in a FB group, decided to give this place a try at around 3pm on a Sunday. The lady that rang me up had a welcoming personality and another lady delivered it with a beautiful smile! The menu options are affordable. the food was so fresh and the restaurant was very clean! My day started out ho hum, but with the amazing friendly service and great food, it made my day I left with my tummy and heart happy. This will probably be my new Sunday spot Appreciate Y'ALL!“

“I visited because I heard that the clear seolleongtang is the signature dish of this restaurant. It felt more like rib soup rather than seolleongtang. Overall, it was okay, and the interior of the store was a bit old, so there were a lot of signs of age :) The lady was also kind, and these days, all restaurants use tap water, and she gave me barley tea water! It was good, I had the brisket seolleongtang, the meat was plentiful and the noodles were delicious!!“

“Everything was FRESH and FRESHLY- MADE, TASTY, and DELICIOUS at Sherman Oaks Kabob Village. Even the pita bread is made fresh from scratch. Nothing is pre-cooked, processed, or from packages. It was a bit of a wait (20 minutes), but it's worth having everything cooked while you are there. The spiced tea is freshly-brewed and wonderful. I was pleasantly surprised to have such a nice meal in such a small strip mall restaurant. It was my first time there but I am sure I will be back soon to try other dishes.

Parking: Parking in a strip mall with a lot of other restaurants and businesses depends on what time and day you are there.“

“Large dining area. Everyday they offer a lunch special for $8.99 and it includes a Thai tea (iced) and either Zhajiang noodles, kung pao chicken, hot dry noodles or shrimp fried rice. I got the Zhajiang noodles and quite enjoyed them. Like a Chinese beef bolognese. My son ordered the beef noodle soup not spicy and was surprised how large it was. It came piping hot.“

“Good experience in Annapolis! The food was healthy. Chantee was a good server. My husband just wished there was more food.“

“5 STARS! ⭐️ So I tried this place for the first time today and I was not mistaken, it is DELICIOUSLY good! First off I’m a national , wing connoisseur lol so I know good wings …. The size is perfect, they have 20 different wing flavors (said it all) .. I asked for extra sauce on mine and the wings were not stingy with the sauce pour either ?, I got all flats, it came as a 10pccombo with really good portioned, well seasoned fries and a drink for under $20 bucks . I chose half/half flavors Spicy Bbq & Spicy Lemon Pepper - it was so flavorful and bomb ????. The owner was so hospitable and nice and let me sample the flavor sauces I was interested in …. The Garlic Parm & Honey BBQ were also fire flavors! I will def be back! Gotta try the jalapeño poppers next ! North Hollywood has NO good wing spot that’s ABOUT wings - now we do, I’m excited !“

“Went in the evening and ordered Phonuts and Cheese Rolls. Gentlemen helping at the front counter forgot the Dulce De Leche and Nutella dipping spreads. Cheese rolls were awesome; and according to my partner - better than Porto's. Unfortunately, I've reached my threshold for eating fried heavy sugar dough and can no longer eat donuts. In my last hurrah, the phonuts were pretty tasty. It is strongly recommended that you eat them warm and at least within 2 hours of purchasing them.

Parking: This plaza shares parking with 5 other businesses and street parking is limited.“
