“I’ve worked in the Thousand Oaks area for over 20 years and have gone to many different restaurants during those years. This one stands out as one of the very best in terms of service, freshness of menu selections, ability to have a conversation without overwhelming loud music and noise, and ambience. The menu selection is varied so there’s something for everyone. Boroka and Jorge have created something truly special with their gem of a restaurant. I rate it as my favorite.“
“I went to lunch here with my friend who recently went here for lunch and she absolutely loved it and wanted me to try it. OK. I love trying new places!The inside was super clean and had a good ambience. Our waitress was over-the-top great and was there to give recommendations and answer any questions we had. She also delivered our food in a very timely manner and made sure our drinks were always filled.My friend and I both had the lunch special of the Pad Thai with vegetables and their dumplings. The lunch special came with rice (brown or white, a spring roll and soup or salad) I chose the brown rice (very different than your typical brown rice) and the salad. The salad had a Thai peanut dressing on it and it was absolutely flavorful and delicious! The salad was very fresh and had carrot shavings, cucumber and tomato. The spring roll was very fresh and tasty especially when dipped in the orange colored sauce they serve the dish with. My friend had the white rice and Miso soup which she enjoyed. Now for the pad Thai.......I was expecting a typical Thai dish of pad Thai. This was not it. I didn't think it had much flavor, or at least what I am used to, and it wasn't spicy at all. I did ask for hot chili sauce which they had and delivered to us. It did help a bit but I wasn't a fan. The veggies were just ok. They did seem to be very fresh. My only comment was that I didn't enjoy the flavor of it. Now my friend...she absolutely LOVED it! She had the same exact dish as I did but obviously she has a different palate and/or taste in food. It just goes to show you how restaurant reviews vary with each person. We did both agree that the dumplings were great and flavorful.With that being said, I will most likely go back and try something different and give it another try. How can I not when the service was fabulous, the food was fresh and the restaurant was very clean.“
“My favorite Pho in the area! The broth has the perfect blend of spices and seasonings. The rich flavor is enhanced by the addition of shrimp which are large, tender and plentiful. Or, choose from a variety of beef or chicken, or just broth and noodles. I love the generous size served in authentic dish ware. Plus it is unlimited noodles! Who does that? These super nice people do! I also love the shrimp spring rolls with peanut dipping sauce, the lettuce and mint are tender and the sauce has a unique zing. In the mood for fries? Parmesan truffle fries here hit the spot. Shoestring thin, super hot, crispy on outside but a little tender inside and a liberal helping of shaved fresh Parmesan with the truffle oil and herbs on top. You will leave feeling satisfied I promise you.“
“The Conejo Valley is limited when it comes to fine dining. If you've been looking for a higher end dining experience, a place to celebrate a special occasion, or a romantic date spot, this restaurant won't disappoint. I don't want to give away spoilers, but this place is an experience where details and quality are exceptional.“
“This place is so legit. All of our dishes were out of this world yum. We had crispy tuna cut roll, spam musubi, chicken pho, chicken larb, and the Mongolian beef noodles. You have to come and try this place. We're definitely coming back.“
“Located in a nondescript shopping center of Agoura Hills, CA (Hwy 101 & Kanan Rd), is a Chinese restaurant: Mandarin Lotus. They've been here since 1988! The food was delightful, the owners were welcoming, and we are already looking forward to our next visit! Dinner hours only. First visit? This is what our party of two tried and we didn't leave a morsel behind: -Mango Tango Rolls -Kelsey Grammer's Orange Chicken -Vegetable Fried Rice -Red Bean Sesame Balls (dessert) The plating of each dish was thoughtful and lovely. The combination of fresh ingredients, sweet & savory flavors, and non-greasy entrees, piqued our tastebuds and had our appetites yearning to try more. For our next visit, we have our eyes set on ordering a tofu dish, wonton soup, and the spicy tequila shrimp. I would consider this a gourmet Chinese fusion restaurant which should appeal to a diverse set of tastebuds. The menu is pretty extensive, which also includes a full page of vegan options and unique spice combinations we are not familiar with, but open to try. The average price per entree is ~$25. Customer service was wonderful! Thank you to the most welcoming host and owner, Kim, and to Chef Chang, for the delightful dinner!“
“I was here for a private event which the owners were kind enough to open for a friends private birthday party. We got to enjoy their very interesting mix of different foods and they were all amazingly good. I don't throw out the 5's too often but the ribs and lamb lollipops were a big surprise and tasty our group devoured them. The sushi and rolls were fresh and very good and the mexican shrimp tacos were very good Overall great friendly owners who appear to be like family in the neighborhood.“
“We tried lots of different dishes and all were excellent! Rice chicharron, chicken karaage, vegetable gyoza, were great starters. All of the nigiri was fresh and delicious. We also had the sakura and chokoreeto desserts with peppermint tea and they were both fantastic as well!“

“It looks like this is a new place now... the outside name still says Thousand Wok but the menu is completely different... it says Ling Long it has no lunch specials and is pretty high up in price. I was looking forward to some pho but that does not exist here. Too bad The food was very good though“
“We were visiting family in California and they visit here frequently and have done for years. We were greeted like long lost friends and had an amazing time. There was a great atmosphere and I loved the decor. So much variety. We aren’t big sushi eaters but loved every mouthful, would really recommend it.“
“I arrived at Kiku Japanese Restaurant at 3:00 PM today and was instantly greeted by staff, who wasted no time getting my order started. The cashier recommended the chicken teriyaki bowl, which came out piping hot. Teriyaki sauce wasn’t too sweet and complimented the chicken perfectly!! The cabbage salad dressing was especially yummy. Fantastic place for a quick bite and is conveniently located right next to the 118/23 interchange.5/5 service, 5/5 food. Will absolutely be coming to Kiku next time I’m in Moorpark.“
