“Wow! The best Mexican Sinaloa food I’ve had! The food is made from scratch and you can really tell, like the corn tortilla — whoa ? delicious! The slow cooked, melty and juicy pork (spicy barbacoa) tasted similar to my native 김치찌개 amazing! Stopped by after Discovery Cube LA and was so glad I did. The handmade tortilla is a must try.”

“Such a wonderful vegan oasis in the San Fernando Valley! As locals know vegan offerings in the valley are limited compared with the rest of the city. I am so happy that I found this place I will be coming here often! Great food and atmosphere all around!”

“I just ordered for the first time today and I must say your food is fantastic! Generous portion with pickles and delicious soft boiled eggs, pickles, puréed fresh tomatoes and a small amount of hot sauce that isn’t too hot. Just right. Went to your place near corner of Van Nuys and Burbank. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED”

“Phenomenal experience and the staff was excellent.”

“This place for years has been my all time favorite. The service is unbelievably fast, welcoming and of top notch and respectful. The food is always fresh and the chefs you
Can tell are very passionate on what they do and the hold the Japanese craft to a high regard. I spoke to the manager he carries himself with his culture and pride very high. He is so incredibly kind and respectful. The restaurant really is a sight to behold and truly a gem in the United States. I drive an hour there without hesitation. As far as I’m concerned there is no place like it. Until next time 🙏”

And everyone was friendly and pretty fast with the service.”

“A group of 4 of us had dinner together at this restaurant, and we ALL enjoyed the food. It’s a tapas / Family style and has a lot of options to choose from. we ordered the cauliflower, meatballs, shishito peppers, tagliatelle pasta, spicy Korean fried chicken wings… it was Enough to feed a small family! Cooked to perfection. Also we had the fluffernutter dessert.. honestly everything was Delicious!!!
the tagliatelle pasta and Korean wings were my favorite.
And given that I don’t drink, I love that they have a pretty decent mocktails menu! Thank you to our server, very accommodating!
The service was perfect.
Great ambience.
What more could you ask for?!
10/10 experience!
Highly recommend”

“The artistic name of the bistro matches the artistry and delicious flavors of the cuisine. A threesome: vegetarian, vegan, and carnivore found a multitude of savory options. Our waiter/thesbian: Chris was charming and anticipated our every request. Foreseeing a return.”

“The ham croquettes reminded me of Spain. The meat pies were delicious and so were the empanadas.”

“Best quality sushi in all of L. A. Sugarfish? Hardly... Nobu? Whatever.... Chiba? The winner.
Only downside is the location which isn't Shig's fault.”

“I'm hearing VERY PROMISING reviews about the quality of the waffles here, yes. I'm being told that the waffle quality is near (or surpassing!) the standards required.”

“knowledgeable.

The staff is very welcoming and friendly as well.

Restaurant is clean and organized. Lighting is good. The noise level is perfect! Glad I could easily enjoy a conversation without struggling to hear or talk!! So important.

They do offer valet. I parked on the street with metered parking.

Food:
Did the full omakase for ~$120/person. This includes 3 appetizers (choice of soup), a small salad, fresh oysters, and we had white fish with truffle and a nice sauce. All of these were excellent!

The fish was fresh. However, some of the fish had one note with what at times was an overwhelming ocean taste. I know some people really enjoy that. However, it was distracting from the taste of the fish itself.

Quality wise was not the best I’ve had. Happy that the fish was not covered in sauces. Chef does let the fish speak for itself. Would have been nice to have included more tuna and a beef course.

The uni quality was not great. Maybe it is just me, but I really am not enjoying uni the way others seem to enjoy it. Last item was a hand roll made from Crab. Very tasty, but I was full.

I will mention one of the pieces, the perch, was memorable for how bad it tasted. It looked and smelled delicious, firm white meat, with some darker shades. But the taste was… It tasted like what a boat covered in barnacles looks like.

We did get to finish with a choice of desserts.

Would I return? Perhaps to try the regular rolls from the menu.”

“It was a very interesting hidden place. I would've never expected to be a place there but overall everything was good food wise. I would've loved a little bit more.”

“Clean area food are delicious. Specially I love the mango sticky rice”

“Delicious omakase meal! Seated on time. Service was swift and friendly. Clean. Great value! Cons: parking is challenging, noise level is high but bearable, and the cleaning solution used to clean tables had an unpleasant bleach scent.”

“YUMMY!! First time at a hot pot restaurant and the servers were so helpful. They explained the menu and the process with no problem. The veggies and meat were so so good and I can’t wait to go back.”

“best pastas ever!!! And the tiramisu was fabulous”
