Wantz & Kneads American
15136 Stagg St #21, Van Nuys

“This is a \\\"ghost kitchen\\\", which i didnt know existed, but came into popularity during the pandemic, combined with meal delivery services like Grub Hub. The chef, Lance Toro, is so friendly, and has a real passion for providing a superior culinary meal. He makes fresh sourdough bread daily, which he uses for his sandwich prep and croutons. He smokes Chicken daily, as well as other meats as needed, also for meal prep. I ordered chicken with smoked Gouda panini... amazing!! Also ordered Turkey chili... also awesome ? i will be back, probably to try everything else on the menu. This is a nice lunch-type business, but I think Chef Lance can accommodaye any request, with a little advanced notice“

“My favorite Korean spot in Los Angeles. Did some research online for good kimchi and discovered this place. Their kimchi is fantastic, but then I also discovered this entire meal. This is perfect comfort food. Sunday mornings. Rainy afternoons or pretty much anytime you need something soupy in your life.“

“Excellent, spicy fried chicken. Easily the best I’ve ever had, and the pieces were large. I also had the fried okra, which was perfectly crisp. The baked beans were just the right amount of sweetness with a little bit of spice.Parking is extremely limited. Google maps shows a larger parking lot, but most of it is restricted to the residents of the building next door. You may need to park on the street and walk if you come during the busy time. Also, the restaurant is on the small side, so be prepared for a wait if they are busy.“

“Not a particularly large interior but well spaced tables. You order on an ipad screen at your own leisure.Ordered the half green onion and half garlic bossam with the pork belly kimchi stew.I highly recommend the garlic bossam if you enjoy garlic. The garlic mince is slightly sweet and pairs nicely with the pork. I personally didn't enjoy the green onion bossam as much because it's topped with a fermented soybean sauce, and in my opinion, the meat tasted significantly more gamey.The kimchi stew was really tasty. The spice level was perfect for someone like me who often orders mild or no spice dishes. It had a kick without being painful. The only complaint I would have is that the pork was quite dry and chewy. Also, rice is not automatically served with and you need to request it.For the banchan, the radish kimchi was a highlight while the pasta salad was very disappointing (it kind of just tasted like whole wheat bread but in a pasta form).Our server did a great job despite being the only one working the front.Parking: A small to medium sized parking lot shared by all the stores in that mall.“

“This is a hot take but I prefer clear sullungtang over the milky version, and I love Young Dong's iteration. Sullungtang runs at a steep cost these days but theirs really hits the spot. So much flavor and a good portion of meat in the soup. The kimchi here is some of the best I've had. It's nothing crazy, but pairs so well with the soup. This is one of those oldschool Ktown establishments and there is definitely a good reason why! A great spot to grab a quick meal but also a very solid takeout / pickup option for those cold nights where you just want soup and rice.“

The food, as usual, was fresh and delicious and fantastic. Major props to the whole kitchen crew for doing such a great job on such a busy day. Also- the grass fed beef in the true blue burger is amazingly tender and fresh. Only to be topped by the grass fed ice cream on top of freshly baked chocolate chunk cookies.“

Would give it 6 out of 5 stars if I could. So happy to have found a new favorite spot!Vegetarian options: Impossible sausage and veggie piesDietary restrictions: Dairy-free friendly because the puff pastry is vegan.

I get it, these dishes don’t exist in China so it’s not their forte. When in doubt, order whatever you’re not familiar with and it’ll be legit.“
