“Mom, Auntie, and I were at a community event in Reseda on St. Patrick's day, and while walking the boulevard, we passed by a few restaurants. I was feeling Thai so I picked this place. It's was a cozy place with Thai art and decorations. The lady greeted us so gently and sweetly, I was sure it was gonna be a great meal. We ordered chicken satay, pad thai and chicken fried rice. Most pad thai's I've had get dry fast, then it's not so good. Their pad thai sauce was a little runny, but I liked it that way. It coated the noodles better. The fried rice was the blue ribbon of all the dishes. So much flavor! No soy sauce needed! I'm from the San Gabriel Valley, but if I'm ever in Reseda again, I'm making a beeline here!“
“The food is so good and fresh. The portions and price is reasonable. I ordered through the website and it was very easy to order. I believe the restaurant is only doing takeout.The chicken fried rice and pad sew ew are delicious and have a very good taste.Parking: If you are coming in from Reseda, you will have to go in through the bike lane and then make a right turn into the lot“
“Visited Uovo in Studio City for the first time and tried their tasting menu. The truffle pasta was amazing, seriously good. The pomodoro was just okay, didn't impress much. But the Tiramisu? Wow, I'm not even a big fan of Tiramisu and it left me speechless. Worth a visit for sure.“
“Loved this place! Super fresh ingredients and very friendly staff. Ordered the Nam Tok Salad, the Chicken Pad Kee Mow (Drunken Noodles) and the Isaan Larb Kua. Everything was really tasty and the server was great about explaining the spice levels. The Nam Tok and the Isaan Larb Kua were especially delicious because of the use of lime juice -- that tangyness paired with the spiciness and the savoriness in both dishes was a winning combo. In terms of spice level, I'd say that I usually like spicy food and handle it well, and the Medium was just right. There are additional chili sauces available if you want to dial it up a little bit. Very generous portions and I was honestly quite stuffed. The price is also ridiculously low and I have to say this is one of the most amazing value Thai places I've ever been too -- the pad kee mow was $12.99 for the chicken version!! They were making pickled chilis on one of the side tables, which is one sign you know this place is legit -- when they make their sauces and condiments from scratch, by hand. Really looking forward to my next visit here.“
“This place is amazing. Top notch service and the fooooooodddd is OMG!!! I can’t believe it took us this long to try this place. We were fortunate to be served by Betsy and Tia who were so friendly and professional. We had such a nice time. Highly recommend and will return soon.“
“Best vegan Ramen I have had. Toppings are amazing. You can feel the depth of interest the creators at this restaurant have taken creating each bowl and maintaining their level of perfection with each order. Staff is very kind. All around a great place to keep coming back to over and over.“
“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.“
Ramen • $$
“A great addition to the valley. From a valley girl who eats everywhere OUTSIDE of the valley, I can truthfully say that I am happy about this being so close to home. :) Ambiance and atmosphere here is 10/10. Both of my experiences have been pretty great. Staff has all been nothing short of attentive and really nice. Both times I have sat at the bar, and each time was a pleasant experience. However, I will say that the restaurant gets very loud which can be a tad bit overwhelming, but I don't think they can control that. As for the Ramen, I can honestly say... it was flavorful. My first visit, I decided to try something outside of the norm, which was the Shrimp Wonton Ramen. It was delicious! Definitely not a traditional ramen but just as good. The friendly bar tender recommend I try the Spicy creamy Vegan ramen with added wontons the next visit.. which I did. 10/10 would suggest!!! The broth on the Spicy Creamy Vegan Ramen is super flavorful! Adding in the Shrimp Wontons just made it 10x better in my opinion. I have yet to try any of the small plates, because the ramen is sooo filling. But next time I definitely will. Great beers on tap, and yummy cocktails! As mentioned, I will be returning back to try other things on the menu. Overall, I do enjoy this restaurant.“
“Just passed through Vietnam, craving Asian food.Come try the Thai restaurant near your houseOh what a surprise, so deliciousAuthentic crab fried riceAuthentic sour hot potOkay papaya saladPadthai is a bit salty, please add a squeeze of lemon for ten points mmmmWill come back!!!“
“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.“
“I have been coming to Futaba for over 7 years and have not found better tonkotsu ramen in the whole LA Valley. I have tried many many Japanese restaurants, always trying to find the best place out there, but I never leave completely satisfied. I actually stopped coming to Futaba for over a year and today I decided to bring my kids as we were near the area. Coming today made me realize that I truly wouldn't recommend any other ramen place as much as I would this one. From the moment you walk in, the service, the atmosphere, everything makes you feel welcome. However, the best part is the taste, I wouldn't trade it. It makes you feel like you just went to Japan; a very traditional and flavorful ramen.I also liked that although most tables are for 2 people, they accommodated quickly for my party of 3. They gave us kids cups with a lid (which was a perfect save when my kid knocked it over), little utensils and plates. I appreciated their thoughtfulness on that regard, it saved me time trying to keep them clean during their meal. Definitely a must!“
“A nice, family owned Thai restaurant with good prices and massive portions. This is a great place to go if you’re waiting for your appointment at SDI across the street. I had the pad thai without egg to make it vegan and they happily accommodated. Will come back again.“
“Takeout experience only since I'm a lazy lady. The vegan pho was phenomenal! Like better than any other Asian veggie soup I've had in AGES! Nice amount of veggies, flavorful broth, good portion, and it travels well. The stir-fried spicy lemongrass imitation beef is really good and has the best texture. I think it's a little too much lemongrass for me but we still get a portion every time we order. The mixed tempura is battered nicely! Always a hit. The stir-fried tofu and mushroom plate is so tasty but so small. I wish the portion size was a little bigger since neither of these ingredients is that expensive, ya know? I need to try a few other things on the menu. I've tried the vegetarian stir fried flat noodles, the vegetarian udon, the catfish stewed with green onion... these weren't bad, but they won't be my repeat order. Overall, I really enjoy their pho and this will be part of our regular rotation!“
“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!“
“Wonderful quick lunch experience here. Owner is Thai, main chef is Mexican, exactly as it should be lolI got the lunch special pad see ew at $10.50 + $0.50 for fried rice, or $14 after tax / tip. Enjoyed the tofu soup, and was impressed by the quantity of the beef pad see ew. It was well-executed and I enjoyed dining in. I really wish this restaurant the best and will be back next time I’min the area!Vegetarian options: Tofu always an optionParking: Few“
“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.“
“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!“
“AMAZING!!! This place is genius and delicious. I wish it were located closer to home, but well worth the drive. Prices are great, food is incredible, and to top it off...VEGETARIAN!!!! I'm far from vegan and love Chinese cuisine, so this place giving me the great taste without the negativity of eating a lot of meat...perfection!“
“Such amazing food and wonderful service. We called close to when they were closing and they still happily told us they'd deliver. We thought the food might be dry or scraps because we called 20 minutes before they closed but no, we were so wrong. The food was super fresh, and the noodles were juicy and the portions“
“Amazing amazing place. The cashier and chefs are the kindest people ever. The food tastes authentic and truly amazing. It was raining and they were so kind to let us shelter and enjoy our food inside temporarily. They treated us so well and we couldn't be more grateful“
“ServiceI was so impressed by the staff. Over multiple visits, consistently the team is so knowledgeable about their menu (ingredients, preparation, avoiding cross-contact) and is so attentive and kind. I want to particularly acknowledge Paul (manager), Matt, and Landry for excellence in service. I was struck by how well prepared the team is.FacilityThe restaurant itself is very sleek and beautiful. There was a long wait for a table, but it was well worth it. The restaurant has a nice system of texting you when the table is ready so that you can explore the mall while you wait. There were many private booths, and also large tables. I also saw a private room in the corner.FoodOf course they have their famous dishes but I also want to highlight some of their other dishes that we particularly enjoyed:- Tofu noodle salad (fresh and tasty appetizer)- Taiwanese cabbage (light and flavorful)- Boba milk tea (not too sweet at all, more black tea forward)“
“We had a very nice birthday dinner for my friend.Service was excellent.Wait time for food was a little long. One suggestion is have a spicy level for those with a sensitive palette. We ordered a side of mango to cool down the heat and that hit the spot :) Overall great experience , definetly be back.“
“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“
“If you can't get to SGV, where the quality and selection of Chinese food is incredible, Sam Woo is a great valley option. Standouts are their BBQ meats; roast duck, roast pork , char siu. Good selections of all noodle dishes; chow menial, Lo Meir, chow fun. Then like most Chinese restaurants hundreds of options. The key here is their consistent authentic dishes. Casual and good service.“
“Food was great. Orange chicken and grilled bok choy was tasty. Large portions.Not sure what they are going for as fast atmosphere, kinda like a military chow hall. Metal cups? Odd.Had to ask for some items twice. Will return for those big portions, will have lunch for the next day.“
“EVERYTIME I come to eat here, the food and service is outstandingly amazing. It’s not only my go-to Thai spot because it’s close to my home, their food is high quality and fresh. Been going here for the past 5 years I’ve lived in NoHo. Best place to eat. AND GREAT PRICES TOO!! <3“
“Wonderful Owners! Give them a try!I'm a foodie and I like trying all types of food and restaurants, especially Filipino food. I sometimes get turned away from going because feel like I will be out of place. I was craving something sweet and started searching Yelp in Panorama City for a spot to grab Turon to try for my first time. I landed on Sally's, so I stopped in after seeing the good reviews. It seemed like a small family run place that does mostly take out orders from small to large. They were getting ready to close but I still I asked about their Turon. They were sold out for the day and kindly advised it usually best to order ahead because they do sell out and it's best to get them fresh. I believe it was the owners, a man and woman working who also asked me how I heard about them and started explaining all about the food choices, providing recommendations, showing pictures and how to order for next time. The best part was they did have 1extra Turon and gave it to me free and refused to charge me. I really wanted to pay but they said it was a sample so I knew what they tasted like for the next time. Honestly, this made my day!!! The owners made me feel so comfortable and welcomed as they could tell it was my first time visiting and I was out of place. It made me feel like I was at my Filipino friends house who is always making delicious food to try. I'll definitely be back to grab more Turon and try all their food. I love supporting small business that appreciate their customers like I saw today. Thank you!!!!!“
“We ordered 4 items and one dessert. The seafood items ( glass noodles shrimp salad, and basil shrimp with rice) were very tasty. So tasty, we will go back for more one of these fine days. The service wasn't that wonderful; the woman was a bit abrupt but after tasting the food, we decided we can put up with the "attitude" as the food tasted that good. My daughter says the dessert was delicious!Hoping the food quality remains, will update next time.“
“It is definitely a place I will return to, I ordered the pineapple rice and it is delicious, my husband ordered the seafood soup and was satisfied, let's support him more because it made me sad to see the place empty when it has such good 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.“
“Check out O'Gusto Pizza and Pasta for a taste of mall food court simplicity that packs a flavorful punch! The service is quick and friendly, making it a breeze to grab your grub and get back to shopping. I went for the O'Gusto 12", and let me tell you, it hit the spot with its perfect mix of toppings. Plus, with upbeat music playing and the lively mall atmosphere, it's the ultimate spot to refuel during your shopping spree. The decor is straightforward but fits right in, adding to the no-frills charm of the place. And let's not forget about cleanliness--both the mall and O'Gusto's storefront are spotless, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Quick tip: if you're dining with a group, be sure to place your order first, so you can eat together, since the wait is 10-15 minutes. Now, onto the pizza itself. O'Gusto serves up a slice of heaven that only gets better as it cools down. With a soft yet slightly crispy crust, it's the kind of pizza that keeps you coming back for more. In short, O'Gusto Pizza and Pasta may be located in a mall food court, but don't let its simplicity fool you--it's a hidden gem serving up deliciousness with every bite. So next time you're shopping 'til you drop, make sure to swing by O'Gusto for a taste of mall magic!“
“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 love Pho and am very hard to please when it comes to a good pho. I have been to many pho restaurants and have not been impressed at all. The West Hills Pho 1, however, despite being much more distance than many others close to me are my ideal pho place. It's a clean and nice place, the food is served so quickly within few minutes of ordering, the quality and amount of pho served is wonderful, I order chicken pho, there was such generous amount of chicken white meat in there, generous amount if the soup, noodles, fresh mung bean sprouts, fresh basil, fresh and juicy lemon halfs which I asked for, I love lots of lemon juice in my pho. This is by far THE MOST DELICIOUS AND BEST PHO I HAVE EVER TRIED.“
“Street parking on Van Nuys Blvd as well as a few spots in the back. Not crowded at 11:30 on a Monday. Great variety of sushi and everything we tried was fresh and delicious. Service was friendly. Prices were not excessive. There were no pets when we were there but knowing that they are allowed does concern me and gives doubts about future visits. If they had an outside area JUST for furry visitors and restricted the inside area I would like that much better. The serving sizes were average. Spent $100.00 on lunch for 2 which for me is becoming the new norm.“
“The staff is so kind and the food is absolutely amazing! Super affordable and they play good music. I will definitely be frequenting this place again. It’s a really feel good environment and the energy is great. Thank you guys so much ♡“
