Sat outside but decided to walk inside to order latte's and bake goods meanwhile. Inside is DEVINE. It was full of customers waiting to buy the Chanukah donuts (seasonal only, I was told) and we ended up taking to our table all 14 flavors of delicious mouthful. and took another 12 special assorted flavors to go to gift to our family friend.

I ordered cookie dough, galaxy brownies, and marshmallow fluff brownies.”

The range of seating arrangements makes this my favorite place to get work done when I want to take a break from working from home. My go-to drinks are the hot chocolate and the red velvet lattes! 100/10, highly recommend 😊”

“Reason for visiting: cousin's birthday dinner

Date/time of visit: Saturday night, 7:30 PM

Parking: they offer valet (not sure how much it is) but you can park on the street (along Rubio) or Ventura for free (meters are off on the weekends)

Party size: 5

Environment/ambience: pretty loud inside (sometimes couldn't hear ourselves talking); mixed crowd but mostly younger (teens and 20 somethings). Didn't see any TVs inside; restroom was pretty clean. Seating was tight; it was a table for 4 but we squeezed a chair. They were busy all night so probably best to make reservations.

Service: was great; very friendly and offered suggestions. Came around often. Offered them one of the desserts we brought, they took off a couple items from the bill ?

Food: everything was great; had the Blue Fin and Salmon Belly handroll, spider roll, Katsuya Sake, beer, mixed sashimi, Lobster dynamite, scallop cut roll

Cost: $390 with tip

“One of my favorite locations. Spacious yet cozy if you wish to stay and sip and snack. Plenty of outlets if you wish to stay and recharge or work on that epic novel. Clean and well organized, with friendly accommodating baristas who provide fast service. An abundance of outdoor seating as well. Aaaand prices lower than at some much inferior locations (see my review on the Valley Village 4800 Laurel Canyon location). Aaaaand plenty of parking! Aaaaaand a drive-through! C'mon now!”

“This is a Too Good to Go Review:

Ordered x2 Bags

Normally you get 3 items at coffee bean and tea leafs.

These guys hook it up.

They make their drinks well too, so if you go, grab a drink too, this one does not dissapoint, the coffee in my last 3 trips is really good here.”

“Highly recommending, their best seller, TRIPLE BERRY CAKE with their own French press coffee!”

“Just there for the Mint Chocolate Chip!! 😜😜”

“Shake shack is absolutely the best fast food there is! A little high in terms of prices but in terms of flavor no fastfood can beat it, it's a shame there isn't one in ”

“Good stuff! Philly Classic. If you want everything on it, make sure you order the right one. I had a Philly Cheesesteak in NY, right off a street cart and it had everything on it. I guess that's why I thought a Classic had everything.
Regardless, this place was great!”

“10/10 recommend this location! while i have had my issues with the tarzana location, i know i can always rely on this encino location. the staff are always super kind, sweet, and helpful. even on nights when i’ve come in close to closing time to pick up work lunch for the next day, they have not minded one bit and have always jumped to help me out. definitely recommend this location to satisfy your jersey mike’s cravings!”

“Never have to wait for my order even if I order via the app 5-min before I show up. The friendly staff have come to know me so it's a nice touch to be greeted when I come in. There's a small seating area both inside and outside if you need to get a little work done or have some time to sit. Parking is pretty easy but can get busy when the nearby restaurant is open. Lately I've noticed a security guard out front to wrangle the homeless that show up at times, which is nice for safety. There is a restroom if you need it and they give a code for it. Overall, it's clean, close to my work & easy to grab for your food.”

“Great shop. Counter woman all by herself on Saturday night, but worked quickly and efficiently. Never lost her cool or manners. Management should have 2 people on weekends during promotion sales. Not fair to the staff at all.”

“I’m crazy about Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt but this location is something else. Everything is neat and tidy always we visit. The girls working there are friendly and helpful. She also offered a cup of water for my dog. Thank you”

“Amazing Breakfast, I highly recommend.”

“We had early dinner there today. Wonton soup was delicious. Chicken in garlic sauce was extremely tasty and vegetable noodles was succulent. The service was utmost friendly and polite. Thank you.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fat Sal's, and it was an unforgettable experience! I ordered the "Fat Jerry" sandwich, which is a glorious masterpiece packed with ribeye steak, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, a fried egg, crisp bacon, grilled onions, melted American cheese, and fries. Each bite was a delightful explosion of flavors, and it truly lived up to the hype.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is incredibly cool, with a great design that perfectly complements the laid-back vibe. It's the kind of place where you can easily relax with friends or enjoy a casual meal after a long day.

While I did find the prices to be a bit on the high side, I can assure you that the food is absolutely worth every penny. The quality and taste are simply outstanding! The staff were also fantastic—super friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better.

If you're looking for delicious food in a fun setting, look no further than Fat Sal's. I can't wait to go back and try more of their amazing menu!”

“Our dinner last night at IHOP was outstanding. I believe the difference was the service we received from Benjamin. We were greeted with friendliness and a smile as soon as we walked in the door and were seated promptly. Beverage order taken and filled quickly. All options and substitutions we addressed and accepted. The food was delicious, exactly how we wanted it, and served in a timely manner. Benjamin made sure our drinks were always full. He was really on top of everything during our meal making it a very smooth experience. We have gone to this IHOP many times over the years and typically the service is adequate. Unfortunately the previous time we had gone it was terrible. So much so that we addressed it with the manager another day. They offered to comp us a dinner, but that wasn't what we wanted, just better service. We decided to give them one last shot before writing them off. Last night was the complete opposite in the best way. Just service that went above and beyond any expectations. Benjamin really made all the difference and he is the reason will continue to go to this IHOP.”

“Chili's Grill & Bar, November 29, 2024 My daughter's sister and her brother had brought us here for a late night dinner and it was our very first time coming here the food was so delicious 🤤 & so we tried the Nashville Mozzarella cheese sticks they are so freaking big & so spicy 🥵 but oh so good!
