“The restaurant is located on the second floor of Nerano in Beverly Hills (you have to take an elevator up to the second floor through Nerano). This gives the spot kind of a fun speakeasy feel to it. When you get out of the elevator, you walk into a beautifully designed / decorated, cozy, albeit slightly quirky space. It's not large (I think the capacity is 34). Came here for a food event, which I did a review for separately, but this experience in particular was grabbing a drink at the bar. (I did think the food was delicious though and urge folks to come here and give this place a try. I know I want to come back and try more menu items.) The bar is beautifully designed and organized. I found myself perusing and mentally cataloguing the whiskeys as I always do when I go to new restaurants. But this place looked like a place that has fun cocktails. So I ordered The George Michael. The drinks here are really interactive, and the bartenders are super enthusiastic to the point that it's infectious. My drink in particular had some bowls that floated up and you had to catch it with a paddle. Flavor wise it was like espresso martini with a peanut butter twist to it. All in all this place is a great place to grab drinks and/or food. Lots of fun. There's a lot of street parking nearby, but it could get challenging especially during the weekends. I came in the middle of the week and was able to find parking about a block away.“
“This place from the moment you walk in the front door is beyond amazing! They’ve done an amazing job of setting one heck of secluded Tulum vibe but while being in the thick of it all. No detail was left out from the lush landscaping and impeccable design throughout to the delicious food and cocktail menu topped off with incredible service. We had the Crispy Rice with yellowtail and shishito peppers for starters both were some of the best we’ve had. We also had the sun fire roll and short ribs and all I can say is yum! You won’t be disappointed with any of the food here. The margaritas we had were “chefs kiss”! Highly recommend!!“
“Tried this for the first time, it was so so good. Love the amount of options they offer and the person who helped us was very friendly, talkative, and patient. He also made sure to let us know about the student discount which I appreciated.“
“I remember coming to the shop for sushi rice when I was pregnant. Whom had seemed to be the owner of the shop ending up being incredibly kind and accomplished. I felt welcome and I bought all of my poke bowls there ever since. Sadly I moved out of state and will miss their poke. Really kind, welcoming atmosphere, and good poke!“
“I had the pleasure of dining at Blasteran with five of my vegetarian friends last week, and we were all blown away by the incredible food and atmosphere. The classic veggie-forward American menu with some Indonesian dishes was absolutely delicious, and the unfussy setting was just perfect for a casual night out.As a vegetarian myself, I always appreciate when restaurants go above and beyond to cater to our dietary needs, and Blasteran definitely did not disappoint. From the flavorful vegetable skewers to the perfectly cooked tempeh, every dish was bursting with flavor and packed with fresh, wholesome ingredients.The service was also exceptional - our waiter was attentive and friendly, and made sure our experience was nothing short of perfect. Overall, I highly recommend Blasteran to anyone looking for a delicious vegetarian meal in a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. Thank you for the wonderful evening!Best regards,George AntonP.S.

“The Waba Grill in North Hollywood is an excellent choice for lunch because the service there is amazing!! The service is fantastic, large in part, do to Stephanie. I don't remember the last time I've had such consistency in customer service anywhere and it kept us coming back. Love It!! Thanks Stephanie!!“
“A little gem! They have Korean and Japanese styled rice bowls here. Many great options with reasonable prices and serving sizes especially for the area. We got the tuna tataki bowl and chicken karaage bowl. The person handling orders was really great and said the tuna tataki was their favorite and even gave helpful directions on how to best enjoy the rice bowl with the sauce! Everything tasted fresh and delicious! Highly recommend.“
“At this restaurant, Alex handles the cashier duties with efficiency and friendliness. The dining experience is enhanced by the cozy ambiance and delicious dishes. With attentive staff and a varied menu, a visit to this restaurant ensures a satisfying meal and excellent service.“
“Finally stopped in today after passing it by on many a commute and was far from disappointed. Had a bulgogi beef bowl and tried a piece of the fried chicken--both were delicious. Fried chicken was flavorful and succulent and came with a delicious honey mustard-esque dipping sauce. Bulgogi beef bowl was an absolute winner. Tender beef, great sauce, solid flavor. Excited to come back in the future and try more. The owners were so nice too. Total hidden gem in the valley, highly recommend.“
“We came here on a whim, after finding The Daily Outpost mysteriously closed on a Friday evening. Umigame is so good! Everything, from the poke bowl, salmon teriyaki, brussels sprouts, and edamame, were perfect! High quality food beautifully prepared. Very good service also. We will definitely be back.“
“Honestly I'm hesitant to write this review as finally there is a delicious ma and pa k spot in the hood!!!! So glad they opened up here and have been a regular !! If your craving some k town in studio city and don't want to deal with the 101 this is the place!!!“
“BEST pad see ewe I've had in LA! I'm quite picky when it comes to Thai food. I'm one for authenticity when it comes to food in general. So I like to learn the history & stories behind the food, and the people the food represents. Very friendly & welcoming service. Bright, simple, and clean ambience. The fried mango-sticky rice rolls are an excellent and a quite ingenious version of the typical mango & sticky rice dessert! I also appreciated the check out process with their handheld device & they take Apple Pay. From the beginning as I entered I felt welcomed, again throughout the service was like being waited on by family, all smiles; and to the end of the meal, bows and smiles! 3 suggestions though: 1. The Thai tea could have been done with little less milk and more tea, and maybe offer other milk options like almond or soy milk, but it was still very flavorful and smooth! 2. I would like to see an upgrade in the glassware used for drinks like the Thai tea, hopefully in the near future. 3. Need better professional pictures up on Yelp. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical in trying this restaurant as I saw there were only 94 other reviews, yet it all averaged 5 stars! So I always make a point to try restaurants that possibly may have been overlooked or underrated. This place is definitely an authentic gem one all would enjoy! They actually deserve 10 stars I'll definitely be back again ;)“
“We decided to give this location another try and we were blown away by all of the delicious meals they prepared. The shrimp pad see ew was flavored to perfection. The crab fried right was just right and the spicey fried rice was balanced with the right amount of heat. You can always request the kitchen to turn up or turn down the spice level according to your taste buds. Try the lychee martini, you will thank me later. The service was five-star from the moment we walked in. We were greeted with a warm welcome and our waitress made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our dining experience. The restaurant is small and intimate, perfect for a local date night. We had a great time guys, thank you and we will see you guys again soon.“

“Love the cleanliness, the short waiting times for your food and the excellent customer service they provide you with. The menu has a little bit of everything for various taste buds. Love their Korean tacos! Their Korean BBQ mild is spicy enough and if you want it spicier, just have them add the spice- you won't regret it. Their katsu chicken is tasty and it's better with the garlicky sauce IMO. The Korean burger is packed with flavors. Definitely coming back to keep trying out more stuff.Parking: Parking is in a shopping center.Kid-friendliness: Environment is very kid friendly, TV is playing something entertaining and a child can be themselves here.Wheelchair accessibility: Very wide open for wheelchair access.“
“On the edge of Beverly Hills, this is a delicious find. A storefront with four chairs inside and some tables outside, they do a bunch of take-out.The young woman at the counter was pleasant and helpful.I chose the bulgogi tacos which were delicious. The beef was seasoned and fresh, melt in your mouth paired with a spicy dip and lime wedges. I have to be careful with hot peppers (allergies), but my wife said it was the kind of dip that you didn't get the heat at first, but even when, not too hot.My wife had the salmon bowl. A perfectly grilled piece of salmon paired with rice, avocado, along with pickled onions and cucumber. There was an accompanying small dish of a sweet liquid. Maybe a coconut milk base, it tamed any heat. A winner.“
“We saw Dek Sen’s post on @sanfernandovalleyeats , so we looked them up.Dek Sen’s is an interesting name, we were told it means favorite person in Thai☺️We were reluctant to order kimchi fried rice at a Thai restaurant but so glad we did. It was amazing!!! It’s not a typical Korean kimchi fried rice. It has garlicky and tangy flavors. The runny egg yolk blended well with the rice.We also got cream cheese crab Rangoon, fried dumplings and veggie egg rolls. LOVED their sweet and sour dipping sauce. We asked for extra to bring home.Very casual, fast and friendly service. You order and pay at the counter. They don’t speak much English but they are very accommodating.We are super happy to find another restaurant close by that we love. Will definitely go back for more!“
“Definitely have to order several items and share them with the table, the food is absolutely delicious and it's incredibly difficult to describe how amazing it was but it was one of my top experiences, I don't know how I will ever top this restaurant.“
“Short Ribs are delicious! Do yourself a favor and order Special B. It comes with Grilled Teriyaki Chicken with Beef Short Ribs, sides of rice and salad plus teriyaki sauce and chili sauce. The short ribs and chicken were not only delicious they were nice and hot! You can tell they came right off the grill! Portion size is big for the price. For appetizer, ordered chicken egg rolls (qty: 3) comes with sweet and sour dipping sauce. Egg rolls were hot and crispy. Owner was very friendly and accommodating. He offered to clean the table before we sat down. I liked and appreciated that. The restaurant is very clean and has a small dining area.“
“So good! I tried a number of menu items and loved each. The shrimp soup was perfectly spicy and packed with wonderful flavors, the appetizers (hot wings and chicken skewers) were outstanding and my entree - pad see ew with beef was just perfect. The service was ideal - helpful fast and informative. I'll definitely be back very often!“
“I've been coming here for years, I can't believe I haven't written a review! I love their food. My favorite item to order is their mung bean pad thai, although I wish there was an option to get it with soy chicken or beef and not just tofu skewers. The tofu cubes are huge so the flavor doesn't really penetrate them. I like this dish because the noodles and veggies are flavorful. My family also enjoys cashew nut lover dish and the buddha rolls. Those are so filling, I can just get those and be happy. If you like thai tea, you must try it here. So good. One star off because parking is difficult, especially on weekends, and it's a little pricy for me. The good thing is that inflation has led to all restaurants raising their prices in the last couple of years, so I am more used to it and not as bothered as I used to be . Note: the seats are incredibly uncomfortable so if you dine in and have back issues like me, bring a cushion.“
“The customer service makes this place amazing. They treat you great here. Definitely not the best shabu shabu that I've been to.. But it's pretty good. I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes to get seated. And when you're seated they're pretty attentive. They have a great selection of meat. And they also have appetizers of sushi. They have a bar of sauces that you can choose from.“
“Chicken katsu was great, big portion, tender chicken, came with a pretty and delicious salad and the curry was also very good. It was totally worth the price. Takoyaki was one of the best I've eaten. The portion is also generous and there were definitely big chunks of Tako inside the balls. Presentation was very pretty too. However my lemon roll was not as good as the other dishes. The spicy tuna was overly spicy and it took away the flavor of the entire dish. The size surprised me positively though, it was much bigger than rolls in other places. The fish was fresh and the proportion with rice was good too. I would definitely come back.“
“My wife and I had an amazing dinner experience at Chin Chin! The host greeted us warmly and immediately.We ordered the new Garlic Chili Crisp wontons and they were so delectable. The broth the wontons came in was delicious and had the right amount of spice, we couldn't resist finish it like a soup. My wife and I decided to share 3 entrees. The Crispy Spicy honey chicken, General Tso's chicken, and Vegetable Fried Rice. All were top notch! The highlight was the General Tso's chicken recommended by our fantastic server, Omar.Omar's hospitality was grade A! The manager also came by to check how we were doing and made sure our dining experience was going well. Outstanding service by all. Great establishment and the cherry on top was that there was easy parking access off of the busy sunset strip.We will be returning very soon. Five Stars!!!“
“We've been lucky enough to dine at providence, vespertine and meteora and they're really the best comparison for the food and service. The evening was impeccable. Mysteriously, the place was almost empty on a Tuesday—for foodies who want a quietly luxurious dinner and some of the best cocktails around in a beautiful space, snag a Tuesday spot and treat yourself before this place catches on. Sorry if I sound exaggerated; still on a bit of a high from a wonderful evening.“
“Absolutely our favorite Thai restaurant. The food is fresh and delicious, the portions are great, and the atmosphere is really nice and friendly. There’s something for everyone on the menu when we order takeout, and it’s lovely being able to pop in late for a bite.We’ve gotten all our friends hooked!“
“Meant to place a review a few days ago when I went into the Waba Grill (Balboa Area) during my lunch. I love grabbing the salmon ? bowl it’s very delicious for us seafood lovers and to add very healthy! Prices are great and wait time is not long at all. Customer Service from Seidy was amazing, friendly, and very welcoming! Noticed the location is super clean as well!! I will definitely continue coming here ?“
“The food, vibe, and service at sushi is top notch! We come here often and always try something new. We are never disappointed! You can even get Kobe sliders, and there are plenty of non fish options. The staff is courteous and the owner Dov is the best. Best restaurant at Sunset Plaza!“
“Great food, better service. Ash was our server and was fantastic. Checked on our food multiple times and made sure we were okay. Even told us ahead of time how backed up the kitchen was which gave us guidance as to what to expect. Made sure we were taken care of very well. Fantastic server, thank you!“
“This is such a wonderful restaurant, the food is absolutely delicious and it has a nice welcoming small businesses vibe. The staff is great and everything is so good, even the sauces alone are amazing.Dietary restrictions: Another customer had dietary restrictions to white rice so the staff helpufully offered brown rice instead.“
“Meizhou Dongpo isn't quite what it used to be when it first opened years ago in terms of the quality of the dishes. It's still a very nice place to sit and take a break from strolling through the mall, but it's now best to stick to a few of their most popular dishes while steering clear of the rest. For many dishes, prices have gone up quite a lot while not preserving the quality of the dishes. The serrano pepper beef and crispy roast duck are still quite good and worth a visit. Other items that used to be amazing are no longer so, like the fried rice, which now amounts to very little other than small amounts of egg and cabbage in a large serving of oily rice.“
“I’m not a fan of sushi, but the food in this restaurant was really great. Went here with a friend of a friend who knows the place and we eat what he considered that is best. We shared around 5-6 different sushi and all were delicious. The restaurant is on this location from 1975.“
“Really great pad see ew and good service. The soft drinks have free refills and come in huge glasses so that's a plus as well. The restaurant was quiet and the tables were a bit close together, so that wasn't ideal, but overall def worth it for the great food.“
“Has the potential to be the best Chinese food in the valley but they suffer from terrible inconsistencies. Dining in is really your only option as delivery is often cold and mushy. Lunch is great! Dinner, (same dishes), not so much. The bearded waiter is definitely a &$£€ and not cut out to be a service person. He definitely takes away from the dining experience which is a shame because dining in gets you far superior food to their takeout.“
“This was my first order from here. I could just tell that they do care about their customers. I love Pad Thai I know it's like the most basic thing but not everyplace can hit it. Everytime I order through Postmates or door dash from different places that would be only 15 mins away, The Pad Thai would just get so dry and got no flavor when it gets to me eventho there would be a request saying "please make it extra saucy" no one seemed to ever listen. But Delish Thai Kitchen CAME THROUGH with the extra saucy and so much flavor. And they even left me a note I really do appreciate that you did that. Thank you Gonna be my favorite place to order from now.“
Asian Fusion
“Today was my birthday ?. I wanted nice ambiance, good food and excellent service. Crustaceans is the place we started with champagne, crab ? cakes and delicious delicate wontons, truffle Caesar, accompanied by lemon drop martini and for main course garlic noodles & Dungeness Crab. Absolutely delicious ?“
“I love ordering their taco combo and get the shrimp tacos. Their taco size are pretty big. It’s located in a busy plaza so parking can be hard during dinner or lunch. Sometimes they also have seasonal smoothies and they raste wonderful! The beef bulgogi bowl is not bad, but I expected for the serving to be a bit bigger.Parking: Parking can be limited during peak hours“
“It was my first time here, although I'm allergic to everything from the sea except fish, which I only eat 3-4 times per year, I was able to find something that I could digest. The chicken tenders with lemon pepper fries are a must-have!! Coming from the Caribbean, the seasoning used for this dish is one I've never experienced. This plate can be ? so be careful!!!“
“Delicious my fiancee and I, were looking for good options for keeping up with this new healthier eating we are trying. 2 hours before closing we arrived after checking google maps, we were greeted with smiles and clear review of the menu. The chicken and steak picture on the wall first caught my eye which we ended up getting. Their dumplings which I don't normally eat were so tasty! The chicken and steak mixed with their terriyaki was really filling ?. Suffice to say we were pleased and very full. Good choice for flavor, quantity, and quality . ?“
“Didn't disappoint. Good food.Update as of Feb 17, 2024.All I ever ordered is the RibEye bowl, and up to this point, it has never disappointed. What I received today was NOT Ribeye. It was some other subpar meat. Looks like it was a mixture bits of RibEye and some other meat thinking no one would notice. This tactic of trying to cheat me is very disappointing.“
“Service was a little slow for having 3 tables in the whole building. The food was really good. We ordered some drunken noodles and 2 pad see ew. They were delicious. I asked for a 7 spice level. Boy, did it have me sweating. Even though it was spicy I couldn't stop eating.“
“I'm giving this a 4 because it's good for Chinese fast food, probably more of a 3.5 but we can't do that, the food quality is not the best but the taste is good with everything being moist and juicy, I live off of Sepulveda and Devonshire so it wasn't something I will not be going to much because of distance but had to try it and was pleased with it.“
“Wonderful as always.Was waited by Pani, who I know from both LA and Studio City locations. Hadn't seen her in a couple of years, and the moment she met me as I came through the door, I was reminded of what a warm and gracious hostess she has always been. Plus, the fairly priced vegie soup was as warm and wonderfully filled with my fave orange, white, and green delectable that I fondly remember that keep me coming back for more!Vegetarian options: PlentyParking: Large shared lot“
“Wow, everything that we picked was delicious! I had a coworker recommend them, and it was definitely worth the visit. The service from the staff was excellent!! Totally worth it!! I wish I took pictures. I will next time.Kid-friendliness: Staff were very friendly with the kids.“
“I went here with my girlfriend on Valentine’s Day and we both loved it. The nice dark atmosphere the restaurant has gives a really good dinner vibe. We started off with 2 cocktails and loved them. We got the fresh oysters and miso soup as an appetizer. We really loved both of them. The miso soup was so tasty. For our main dish we both got the surf and turf and loved it. This place is definitely a must try.“
“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!!!!“
“Picked the right place before a 3 day fast. Last meal @1:58pm Absolutely incredible, full of flavor and they brought the spice level up from the last time I came here. Definitely great customer service with a smile. The lobby was clean. It was busy inside but managed to find a seat. I know it's just rice but the rice I ate was made perfectly. Definitely give this location another chance if you rated it less than 5. They definitely deserve to be here.“
“I loved it. The dessert sesame paste filled buns are amazzzzing.I would only suggest they ask you first if you want ice in your drink, because its brought with ice by default (like anywhere else here ?) and it would be nice to remind you that they could make it withouht it.“
“I always loved the original location in Canoga Park. Since I heard of this new location in Encino, I had to give it a try. Food taste exactly the same which is a great thing with the great large portion size. Only difference is the location and venue itself. It's a lot newer, "more upscale". More of a pristine/clean appearance than the old one“
“I stopped by Enjoy Bowl recently for lunch and had a good experience here. Ordered the Spicy Cheese Tonkotsu ramen and a Pork Bao Bun on the side. Service was good with the staff bringing the food to my table promptly and the ordering process was quick. The inside of the restaurant is quite spacious, clean, & bright with plenty of booths and tables for seating. They serve a more simplified menu of Ramen, Bibimbap, & Kimbap dishes. My ramen was delicious with a good amount of heat as I chose very spicy for my heat level and the pork belly was soft and tender. The noodles were chewy and springy and there was a good amount of cheese mixed with the broth which made for a rich, creamy flavor. The egg was also perfectly cooked and it was quite an enjoyable bowl overall. The pork bao bun was delicious with a nice, thick piece of pork in the middle and the bun was soft and pillow like. Overall, this is a good spot if you are in the Northridge area and if you are craving Ramen or Bibimbap, I recommend stopping by!“
“Omg the food was so good like where do I even start? Ok so I ordered a green tea and a Thai tea and the portion sizes are MASSIVE like what the sigma. I also ordered a yellow curry and it showed a pepper icon indicating that it is a spicy food item but it wasn't spicy. other than that the food was BUSSIN I literally fanum taxed my friend who ordered a pineapple fried rice. The lady who brought our food was a legend like she a real one frfr. She was so kind and even made space on our table to eat. Overall 10/10 very sigma restaurant“
