“Five stars overall - First timer here.Husband and I visited for Easter brunch after seeing photos we wanted to try and we were not disappointed!! food taste and quality is important to us, this place is 10/10 for sure and we are coming back.We enjoyedEggs Benedict and potatoBiscuits and gravy w eggsService was excellent!Parking was easy.Looking forward to trying new dishes.“
“Nice and ChillI love this brewery!! It does tend to get busier during the end of the week, but there is a lot of seating. For a girl who is so indecisive, the staff is always knowledgeable on recommending what beer to try. They sell snacks inside, but there's usually a food truck or vendor where the outside seating is located. Good vibes here.“
“This place has become one of our favorites, and in the many times we’ve gone over the year it’s never disappointed on any level. The servers are so kind and attentive, the mojitos are refreshing, and the pollo saltado comes out perfect every time. This is one of the few places where I immediately look forward to our next night back after we leave.“
“I must say... This place serves the finest Sichuan cuisine and dim sum in the neighborhood! It surpasses any other nearby restaurant, and the fact that they offer a full bar is a definite plus. The food and drinks match the excellence of their interior decor. It's an ideal spot for a romantic date night! I highly endorse it!“
“The food was fresh, good and served hot. The menu is a bit overwhelming ? I'd like to go back and try other things. I ordered the crepe with eggs, spinach, feta cheese wrapped inside and it came with a small salad. Very tasty, would recommend.“
“Found this place after visiting the San Fernando Swamp meet on Sunday. It wasn't busy when we went at 1pm. Food music. Friendly servers. I got the garlic shrimp. Very juicy sauce. I tried their fish ceviche and that was amazing! Came here with my family. Love their side dish options. Husband got a Miche and I got a margarita blended very yummy. They have a bar so they can make just about any drink. But best part was their salsa! My favorite with some fresh chips. Will be coming here again.Parking: This place is in a little shopping center. Parking wasn't hard for us. It is small but the shopping center wasn't busy.Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs for the toddlers. Glad the servers were interacting with my daughter.“
“One popular spot known for its delicious borekas in Los Angeles is "Borekas Sephardic Pastries" in Sherman Oaks. They offer a variety of flavors and are well-regarded by locals and visitors alike. It's worth giving them a try if you're in the area!“
“I like this place. They have a great wine selection and their charcuterie and small plates are delicious. The Marcona almonds are well flavored/seasoned. The olives are also well-marinated. Their meat board contains delicious selections of cured meats and cheese with some sweet jam. All of these items pair nicely with their Chilean red, which is a reasonably priced and tasty bottle. I've only eaten inside but they have a nice patio in the back. The inside is dim and cozy. This is a great spot for a date night or a night out with friends. It's not cheap by any means, but they deliver solid service, food, and wine. Enjoy!“
“We arrived on a Friday at around 11:00am and got seated right away. The restaurant has outdoor seating with heaters which I thought was really nice. Our food was great!! I order the chicken and waffles with a side of bacon and egg. Everything was delicious and por portions was plenty. My husband ordered the Mexican omelette with a side of has browns and toast and he too enjoyed his food very well. The ranchero salsa was delicious.The service was quick and very efficient. On top of that everyone was very friendly and helpful.The star of the meal was the cafe de olla! This is a must if you try out this place.The only thing is parking can be a little tricky and may have to park on the street or nearby neighborhood. Highly recommend this place.“
“The food at Porto’s is great. Their savory basket food is very tasty. The seasoning on their meats is fantastic. I had the steak torta, the meat is tender, lean, and well seasoned. The bread is soft with a nice chewiness to it. The ingredients are all very fresh. I also had a guava smoothie, which is amazing, if you like guava. I will definitely be returning and trying other items on the menu.“
“Can’t believe this amazing pastry bakery is in Burbank! Definitely a hidden ?Some of my top picks and the filling inside is amazing! It’s just a bit messy due to the flakiness.PERSIAN PRINCESSRose and orange blossom dough with pistachio fillingALMOND CROISSANTClassic croissant dough filled with 70% European Almond PasteMATCHA CROISSANTMatcha croissant dough filled with house made Matcha chocolateNEW YORK ROLLI believe the filling changes every week.

There’s a few tables outside to eat or on the entire street of S San FernandoParking: Free parking at parking structure a block away“
“The fried chicken is the best I’ve ever had and it’s not even close. The mild chicken is really spicy but just the right amount for me, not overly intense. It’s nice and crunchy. It’s even great cold. The fries are bomb too.What I also like is that it’s exactly the same quality every time, there is no variance. Wish I had found this place years ago.“
“Everything about this place is just amazing. The food is above anything I’ve ever had here in Santa Clarita. The service, the food quality, and the people make this a great place to eat. I don’t do very many reviews but I couldn’t just let it go without saying. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks guys!“
“Must try if you are looking for delicious authentic birria. It's a cute-humble family owned establishment that serves very tasty dishes. My favorite was the consomé with tacos dorados. I do wish they had a spicier red sauce but overall was great. It hit the spot on a Sunday afternoon. I especially liked the fact I could dine-in instead of the typical food truck. I can't wait to come back and try more items. Thank you familia Castro.“
“Not sure why the incredibly high reviews. I would do 3.5 if I could but the atmosphere was really nice so bumped it up. It’s a cozy cafe in a cute area, seating is great. Food was fine— not super expensive, but for what it was, a little more costly than I’d prefer. Definitely not memorable, but tasted fine; cappuccino was meh. However, I’d come back just for the vibes since it’s a good place to catch up with friends etc. and I’d be interested to try a different menu item!“
“Casual but nice. Service and staff are very kind and knowledgeable. Recommended wine based on my preferences.Food was very good but I think they put cream in the carbonara… and a poached egg on top. I’ve seen this at other LA restaurants- not sure why it’s a thing.Good portion sizes.“
“A hidden gem! We stopped by here after a game of tennis and it was the exact vibe we wanted. They have live music, food trucks, vendors, and a game room. We opted to chill in the game room and enjoy some college basketball and a couple rounds of exploding kittens.The noho boho and Michelada were solid choices. The Pilsner taste met my fiancée's expectations. We each got the shamrock shimmer (green glitter added to drinks in honor of St. Patty's Day), so that was fun.The staff were upbeat and happy to be there which always adds a pleasantness to the experience. Even though the place was packed, our beers came out pretty quickly.I thoroughly enjoyed this place and will definitely be back!“
“I was a customer when they were still with their food truck so when I found out they opened a restaurant near my work I was very excited. My coworkers and I order at least once a week from here breakfast and lunch. Portions and prices are excellent and food tastes great too can't ask for much more especially in this neighborhood where options are incredibly limited. I think you should all check them out.“
“My first time here and I LOVE the ambiance, the environment is nice and the inside of this place is gorgeous. Just enough space and plenty of tables/seats to sit and even get some work done! GREAT music and vibes. However, I was not too fond of the managers here, they were a little rude and non-personable which rubbed me the wrong way. Especially the female manager here whose name I did not get, seems as though she was NOT fond of people of color. Lalo and Gabriel were lovely, had great energy, and were super attentive! Food and drinks aspect-wise, I LOVED the salmon cucumber toast and lavender oat latte. Very tasty, and would 1000% try again. I do hope if and when I return the management can be more friendly and receptive to ALL.“
“Very pleasant little place. Portions were not as big as some places, and the prices reflect. This is a good thing. The Kale noodles were really good. I was not expecting that. I veered from my usual pork based broth to a chicken and maybe that wasn’t the best idea but over all I was very “
“We had an amazing time eating here!! The food looked so good, we wanted to order everything but ended up getting the Mushroom Ramen and the Fried Udon. Both dishes were DELICIOUS and had a nice spiciness. The ambience, cute interior and service were good too - overall a great experience. Would really recommend!“

“Pretty good! I would go back to share with my other crew. Your fresh pasta dishes are good! The lobster pappardelle is really good! I want an order to myself! haha. Your mushroom fungi trecce is good. I don't like creamy sauce but this one is good. Hard to find a good bolognese pasta, but this one is good. The hamachi is good, nice tempura element. Lobster roll is excellent!! The family loves the lamb chops!! I am not a dessert person but your sticky toffee pudding is good!!“
“Excellent fish and chips, generous portion which can be split between two people. Love the ambiance and warmth of an Irish pub. Paddy is some of the co-owners and always has a great energy and is accommodating. We recently went on a Friday night at 5:30, which must be the dinner rush because the servers were slammed, I hope they are able to expand so that the wait time isn't so long on a weekend night. Regardless,Great establishment for a bite and cold one!“
“This is by far and away the best pizza in LA! We pilgrimage from the beach to Papa Vin’s pizza oasis. All the ingredients are made fresh in house. It’s all run by the friendliest family. Do yourself a favor and dine in to experience it piping hot straight from the oven. ONLY CON: all other pizza is subpar after eating here.“
“This might be the best burger I have ever had (I got the chipotle burger). It was so delicious. Sam was super cool and he told us about how all the dressings were made from scratch — and they did not disappoint! The fries were delicious. I love fries that are both soft and crunchy. The salad was delicious. I’m at a loss of words for how good it all tasted. I wish I would’ve taken a picture of the food but it was gone by the time I thought of it. Lol I’ll definitely be back, and I highly recommend you give this place a try if you love fresh food & supporting an amazing local business!“
“5/5 Written from a former bakery owner. My family owned a bakery in Detroit for 40+ years and sold it during Covid in 2021. I know baking and so does Toluca Bakery. Excellent customer service. Family owned shop with the mom and son working when my friend and I went in. So much variety, and the price point is low for all you’re getting.This is a bakery making old school, classic recipes. They veganized so many items that you can’t find in most places. The chocolate chip cookies were delicious, concha’s super tasty, Tres Leches was chef’s kiss, turnover amazing, danish great, cupcakes yum, eclairs fantastic and empanadas scrumptious. Highly recommend. Plus for folks who like supporting small business, this is exactly that. It’s a win-win-win-win. Taste-options-price-family owned & operated. Get there!“
“Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and Amanda saw to it that we had a wonderful experience. She was so welcoming and helpful. Many places have incredible drinks but if the service doesn't match, who knows if you'll remember it a few months down the road. The service is what makes people come back! She nailed it.The cocktails were delicious as well, we are familiar with the craft cocktail scene and these drinks were on point and an awesome price! Ambience was spot on too.Next time we are in LA we will return!“
“I wanted to try a new coffee shop and came upon Jesse's Grind Coffee Bar and the reviews were so positive I decided to give it a try. I ordered the dirty horchata latte with whole milk and it was really good! The staff were really friendly as well and were so fast at making drinks as it was pretty busy. I definitely want to come back and try a coffee flight as I think that's such a cool idea and I love coffee. The shop is small but has a cute sitting area which I will definitely enjoy when I revisit to try more flavors.“
“It was my first time I work just around the corner & I had the cowgirl double & OMG it was bombbbbb! The cheese was melted just right, the homemade bbq sauce was amazing, & I got some jalapeños as well. added the perfect hint of heat. I recommend trying. definitely will not disappoint!“
“Every time I'm in Studio City I always have to stop by this spot. Service: Amazing, fast, friendly and very helpful. Seating: it's actually decent considering the exterior is small. Positive atmosphere inside, and some outside seating. Overall a very enjoyable vibe. Coffee/Pastry: You. Must. Try. Everything. If you have questions don't hesitate to ask. The obvious question: Is it better than Starbucks? Oh yeah! If you're in the area this is a must stop for coffee lovers.“
“This is a great Korean American fusion spot. The staff have a lot of heart! And of course the food hits right. I had the Galbi Burger which was quite unique, the beef was marinated with Asian flavors. I loved it. I do wish the portion size was bigger though.Lots of options here for vegans and vegetarians too.Parking is so-so, as is the case with most places on this street.Small sidewalk patio with sunny seating. Very nice.“
“Awesome and creative menu.. Japanese and Thai fusion that elevates your tastes buds! The staff is friendly and suggested some great dishes as it was our first time. My daughter tried a new style of noodles made from buck wheat and it was hit for her! Definitely going back for more and more!“
“One of the most delicious burger and fries I have had in a long time and thankfully, not overpriced like everywhere else. The food was not only very good, but the people that work there and the service was incredible. It was nice to be among people that were so kind in this day and age.“
“First time trying this spot out. We picked up since we live a block away walked there and man I am so happy we have a great wood-fired pie in the neighborhood! What a great pizza!! We got the deluxe which for the prize was decently priced. The pizza is wood-fired so the crust was amazing. The sauce, cheese, and toppings were very good and I am so glad that this spot opened up in Burbank since the city is lacking a good pie place. I definitely recommend them and will be back. (Please excuse the photo - it was so good I couldn't wait to eat and took it after) :)“
“I recently celebrated my baby girl’s birthday and I had the pleasure to had LACrepes at our party … I highly recommend them. The service was amazing definitely 10 out of 10 they arrived on time, the staff had really good customer service everything was really clean and presentable, set up was amazing, waiting time to be served was really short, the staff worked really professional and fast, all my guests loved the crepes and the service we got only good feedbacks about them, I’ll hired them for my next event for sure.“
Ice Cream Shop • $
“I recently went here for a date night out and was blown away by the friendliness of everyone who worked there. Everyone was so helpful and kind. They gave us recommendations based on flavors they thought we would like and even got us to experiment with new flavors (the balsamic and strawberry). The ice cream was delicious and creamy and the customer service was out of this world! I will definitely be coming back!!! Sonny's has it right!!“
“Environment, food, & service was all incredibly amazing. All the food was delicious, especially the cafe de olla!! Would recommend this place for anyone wanting some delicious breakfast/food. They have a wide range of choices and options. Isaac (the owner) was very friendly and inviting. If I could give this place 10 stars I would! My family and I will definitely be coming back when we are back in California.“
“We're looking for a nice Thai food after a long walk at the Universal Studios and found this place. We ordered Pad Thai, panang, and satay! They were so tasty and delicious! My family and I are from Las Vegas and will go back there to eat when we come to California because we enjoyed eating at their outdoor patio with garden plants surrounding us.“
“Food was alright, i make better food at home) Got the OG burrito and wasnt impressed, the portions are average for the ridiculous prices being street vendor are crazy, the green sauce kinda made me go a star up. i love to be fair in my reviews and this is a bit over. Food price for a street vendor -1“
“A great place for a beer. An excellent place for a pizza. They have a long list of terrific house-made beer, and the pizza is super tasty--the ultimate combination! This place has just the right vibe you'd want from a brewery. The difference is that some breweries feel very industrial. But Macleod feels homey and very local. Case in point: parking can be difficult sometimes. The first time I was able to park in the front lot, but I was blocking somebody. I went around the bar and found the guy I'd blocked in, and we agreed to find each other later and switch the cars. All very casual and chill, which made me feel right at home. Throw in a patio with a "scenic" view of a dark side street and some light industrial businesses, and you get the deal. Two more visits later, it's one of my favorite beer places in L.A.“
“What a nice surprise to discover this adorable restaurant not far from the Burbank Airport. Cute decor and wonderful presentation of their food, including the complimentary corn muffin drizzled with honey. I had the French Dip which was yummy. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are ever in Burbank!“
“i’m gonna give my bare honest review, i’ve been here 2 times! PASTRIES N GOODS R SOOO BOMB !!! the croissant is so doughy and delish!! ughhh the mixed berry danish YUM, apple cinnamon twist PERF!!! they also offer varieties of croissant sandwiches & another type of bread but i forgot which kind… they have bobas, smoothies, juices, and what i came for lattes. both times i can taste the espresso is burnt…. never the less how outstanding the pastries are i still give this spot a 5 star. go try it it’s delish. i know there serving a lot and i’m sure there not crazily fixated if there pulling a clean shot. still love love this place and there FAIRLY reasonable in prices“
“Hanks is about a 15-minute walk from where I live. The Sherman Oaks location. You have to get there fairly early because sometimes they run out of bagels because they are very popular. (I am not a morning person and neither is my son. So to us fairly early means before 1 p.m.) But on the weekends we love to walk to Hanks, because they are so good! Sometimes we just get bagels and cream cheese, sometimes we get bagel sandwiches. I'm a vegetarian and my son is not. They have options for everyone. Actually, I'm not sure if they have gluten-free. Anyway, we usually get our bagels to go. They put on tons of cream cheese, so there's enough to share a finger full with my cat. As we were walking down the block , my son holding the bag of bagels, a guy walked past us and said, " Is that from Hanks?" We said yeah, and the guy said, "They are awesome! I'm heading there right now."Seriously good bagels! If you haven't tried them, you really should.“
“Love this place. Cute, peachy and family owned. Great people and service. Prices were great too. Street parking can be tough but you can place an order online for a quick pick-up. I got an iced coffee, some toasts and a smoothie. I loved EVERYTHING! Menu is small but everything on there is great - just how I like it. So happy this local gem is a part of my neighborhood! Also happy to hear they're opening more locations so other can try their peachy deliciousness soon!! :-)“
“I tried this spot a couple of days ago ago, pizza was very good, staff very friendly and attentive.The crust of the pizza was tasty and crunchy, toppings were fresh and abundant.Place is small, good enough to enjoy a pizza with the family.I really recommend this pizza restaurant.“
“This was my first time visiting MTWs, it was recommended by a colleague. Our server was knowledgeable and very friendly. The food delicious! Eggs s cooked to perfection, waffles light & tasty. I had the peanut butter chocolate waffle (1/2) with eggs, breakfast potatoes and ham. I can't wait to introduce MTWs to my friends.“
“Found them on a whim and so happy we did. The food was amazing and the staff seemed to really love taking care of everyone. You can tell it's a family owned labor of love and the quality of every single aspect reflects that. It's now added to our weekly lunches.“
“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!“
“Been there multiple times - our favorites have been the rolls and the lobster tacos. Also needs to be paired with the fries and tater tots half and half mix. It’s the perfect meal. Parking is the only downside. The lot for that building is super expensive so we usually spend a couple extra minutes finding street parking. But it’s worth it for really well-priced, fresh, well-seasoned lobster and crab meat- and really friendly service!“
“Another hidden gem that you stumble upon. We stopped off for a drink after dinner and found this place on Yelp. It wasn't a far walk from the restaurant so it was a win. It's kind of tucked away just from the main road. So if you didn't know know where you were going, you may now find it. Well, it also help with the beer sign that we seen. Once inside, it was happening. The crowd was great, a packed house which means it's a happening and fun place. The twinkling lights, don't know if it's there all the time or for the holidays. Service was amazing. You order at the bag of course, plenty of beers to choose from. Starting from light to dark. Also great to sample some to find what you like. There's the main area when you walk in. A patio in the back, and another seated area inside. A fun cool spot that is a must try whenever your in the area. Glad that we found this place and will definitely be back. Also, not sure if they offer food.“
