Restaurants in Sherman Oaks

“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!”

“Phenomenal experience and the staff was excellent.”

“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”

“This place is AMAZING! It’s completely unassuming from the exterior; but the food and the service was way beyond my expectations! I truly wish there was a French restaurant like this in San Diego; I’d eat there at least once a week!!!”

“Be careful- the spicy tuna crispy rice is addicting! Taisho is our go to spot when family & friends visit from out of town. You can’t go wrong with anything you order there. It’s all delicious. Highly recommend checking out their happy hour!”

“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.”

“Malama polo restaurant is best�Highly recommend for all.”

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Casita! Brittany, the concierge, and our server Delilah provided exceptional, warm, and professional service that truly stood out. The food was not only delicious but also incredibly flavorful, and the atmosphere was simply stunning—inviting, elegant, and perfectly suited for a memorable evening. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed every moment. This was an experience to remember, and we’re already looking forward to coming back soon!”

“So great for quick and amazing sushi! We got the tuna Don bowl and brussel sports but we’ve also had the popcorn shrimp spicy tuna roll and their crispy rice - it’s all amazing”

“I loved the place! Been couple times and enjoyed their organic orange wine they had on menu back then (I think it was from either Austria or Germany? Seasonal wine)

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

“Zoza was the best! Don’t know how she could hear us but she did it!! Food was great! They did custom menus for my husbands 30th and there was even a live jazz band 10/10 experience will definitely come back!!!”

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

“Love the atmosphere of this comfortably casual bar. Ample outdoor seating provides the perfect spot to sip a beer or two relaxing in the sunshine. I don’t eat meat so I haven’t tried the burgers, which come highly recommended. The garlic parmesan fries are excellent and enough for 3 people. Sorry I can’t say the same for the cauliflower wings or pretzels with cheese sauce. But I had the best-poured beer of my life—a fresh Scrimshaw pilsner in a sparkling-clean glass. See attached video. Despite the venue’s name, they now offer cocktails as well as beer and wine.”

“This is the most delicious shawarma I’ve ever had in Los Angeles.
The service is amazing — the staff is incredibly thoughtful, polite, and attentive.
Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves great food.”

“This little hidden gem!!! Food was AMAZING! Fried chicken, candied yams, greens, macaroni and cheese, beef ribs...all were delicious! We live in Ventura County and drove to the San Fernando Valley to check this place out. It was worth the drive.
The food takes 20-25 minutes to be served and I am petfectly fine with that because it it made to order. Check them out. The owner is very attentive and provides great service!”

“The black ramen bowl was the best ramen of my life. But I'm moving out of LA tomorrow! Why couldn't I have discovered this place sooner!?!?
Oh well, at least I got to try it once.”

“I went with a large group and I think everyone but me like their entrées way better than I did. I really think maybe I just made a wrong taste choice. I went for a mushroom ravioli with a cream sauce. I have to say the service was excellent. It’s a cute little restaurant. You probably wanna make a reservation if you’re going there, the bread is incredible. It’s so so yummy. I did enjoy the appetizers. I was not impressed though by the Caesar salad I was with five other people and they all loved their trace. I think I just made a poor choice. I would recommend it and even for a romantic night or dinner.”

“Andreas Super helpful and knowledgeable about all the foods on the menu the chef always hook it up fresh. Oh my God, cucumber salad stuff. It’s unbelievable delicious number of sauces. You can choose from really affordable and large portions. You have to try this place multiple different choices. Trust me you will not be disappointed.”

“This use to be one of my favorite locations. The service is fast, and the cashiers are always nice and professional. It’s also a very safe location but not a lot of places to eat outside like other locations. Overall it’s still a good clear restaurant with fresh food.”

“Absolutely delicious Portuguese food!”

“First time eating Indian food. The meal was excellent! The service was excellent! We will be going back.”

“It was such a fantastic, authentic Italian dinner we had. The attention to detail by the chefs is represented in every dish. If you are in the area, this restaurant is worth your visit! Thank you”

“Luna Grill was looking real clean when I walked in, so off to a good start. Ordered the chicken and beef kabob plate...solid portion for the price. Flavors were nice, but the beef leaned a little salty. Now, about those metal chairs… rock hard. Felt like I was sitting on a slab of concrete. A little padding wouldn’t hurt. Food was good, though, so I’d come back...just maybe seat on the booth next time.”

“very chill place and lots of fun”

“Had three different tacos Brisket was awesome Other two very good But brisket!!!”

“This is our go-to sushi restaurant. The food never disappoints. The service is very friendly.”

“Every time I visit Schatzi's Bakery, there's always a new and fun treat to try! The creativity and variety keep things exciting, and everything I've tried has been absolutely delicious. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes each visit even more enjoyable. It's truly a gem!”

“Me & my husband go here regularly. Amazing staff, food is ace! real taste of home. We often go with our family and every time- food,drinks & staff have been spot on. The Tuck shop next door 🚪 OMG do not get me started we easily spend a small fortune each time. Because we know we can stock up & the price is reasonable. we actively choose to drive their rather than go online because it's about supporting other businesses & expats. This pub truly has an English atmosphere. Reminds me home UK & Ireland. THEY GOT CRACKERS IN! birds custard, every sweet you could want. if you are British & you are in LA. if you ent been here...are you even britsh?”

“I love Avocado Toast ❤️ I’ll be back”

“Lovely food, charming interior. We had carpaccio, lobster bisque, crispy duck, and potato crusted salmon. The dishes were all prepared very well. The fresh bread was quite good, served with harissa, etc. We very much enjoyed the nut tart served with vanilla sauce and very nice hazelnut gelato. Can’t wait to go again.”

“Great place to network! Perfect local Go to place after work or meet new business links and more.”

“Great food and staff! You guys rock !!!”

“The dedicated staff at Pizzana deserves acclaim and appreciation. After a crazy night of delivery service fails, dropped drivers, unreachable Chow Now representatives, more delays, and remade orders, Kevan drove our order over themselves. It was a late Valentine dinner, not what we expected at all, but Pizzana made good on their end of the delivery and the food was great. The people at the restaurant were kind and gracious at every turn. Thank you Pizzana for being the best.”

“By far the best place to be in Sherman Oaks! Staff is beyond amazing, patrons are friendly with great spirits, food is on point, and the ambiance and atmosphere are a breath of fresh air. It is always a great vibe! A must if you’re ever in Or near Sherman Oaks!”

“OMG This restaurant is a rare find!! The food, the service and the atmosphere are amazing! We had a shrimp wrap and chicken breast panini that were filled with so much more large shrimp and chicken breast than I’ve seen at any restaurant in LA! The baklava dessert was excellent. And the coffee was really delicious and served in unique coffee cups. The staff were super friendly and just the perfect amount of attentiveness. And the atmosphere was absolutely unique with greenery on the ceiling throughout with skylights interspersed. We will definitely make this a frequent restaurant stop!”

“First time here and we loved it. The throwback steakhouse vibe stays close to its roots and provides a really nice atmosphere. We were looking to go casual and had the Wagyu burger and it was phenomenal. Mix in great cocktails, friendly and efficient service and a strong dessert menu and this gets an easy 5 starts. As a staple in the valley for over 75 years, it shows they’re obviously doing a lot of things right. If you’re anywhere near The Valley Inn, do yourself a favor and get in there ASAP!”

“My Family And I , Really Enjoyed, Pablo, Gave Us A Great Experience!!!! Will Be Back!!! Love It, And Great Food!!!”

“Ash was fantastic, super chill guy, great vibe, super friendly. Food was great. We came for our anniversary, same restaurant as when we met. And the food remains good. Slightly different menu but the same great taste.”

“Typical Gino's East food, just like Chicago!

Parking: Parking in the back, but on a busy day for lunch it'll be packed so get there early.”

“This place is absolutely amazing! I rarely write reviews, but I had to make an exception for this one. My son and I absolutely loved it here. Everything was perfect—the food, the atmosphere, and the overall experience! The complimentary cucumber salad and miso soup were such a delightful touch. This is officially my go-to sushi spot from now on. Highly recommend it to everyone!”

“This place is amazing especially the way the hosts treat you. This is really worth your time especially with the amazing prices and the vibe for this place makes me feel home.”

“Best Sushi spot my wife and I are there frequently and Betty and the owner are very friendly. Love the vibe and the positive energy of all the workers. It's a very pleasant place to be. Highly highly recommend it.”

“Best Caucasian cuisine in Los Angeles with good prices and great service. Definitely coming back!”

“Great for meal prep ideas, healthy options and home style authentic Mexican food for sure.”

“I never leave reviews, but as someone who loves sushi and has eaten at most of the restaurants and hole in the walls in the valley — this place is hands down at the top. The atmosphere isn’t fancy, more casual, but the happy hour deal and the quality of the food is solid. The staff couldn’t be nicer and more lovely. Highly recommend giving it a shot for a casual date night or if you’re craving some solo sushi time :)”

“Delicious Coffee ☕️ in the Morning ☕️💕🌿👌💐😊”

“I was here today, the wonderful nice young lady working here is just excellent customer service. She made me the best turkey sandwich. If I could give 100 Stars I would. Great job!”

“I stopped by this Taco Bell location today because I order food at a place next door. I parked at the little garage parking they have toward the back. I wanted to take advantage of the happy hour freeze so that's why I came here. When I walked inside, they were not busy at all. It is encouraged to order from the kiosk so that's what I tried to do but it was so slow and non responsive. I asked a worker who came to give food to someone else and he seem annoyed I asked. He saw how slow it was but after a while he just walked away when he got me to the menu screen.

I ordered the Baja blast with strawberry freeze and when I went to pay using credit card, it kept throwing an error message. So the lady who was checking in for work on the counter asked the same guy who tried to help me before to ring me up. He rang he up and then made my drink but the one he made was a strawberry freeze and not a Baja blast strawberry freeze. I didn't want to be that customer so I just took my drink and walked out. The strawberry freeze is still good but I just wanted to try the Baja blast strawberry freeze.”

“I like the yogurt, but am unhappy with the price increase. I ordered a mini size raspberry cup with a vanilla base and was charged $5.05. That is a little too much.”

“There are so many sushi places in Studio City. This is just inside Sherman Oaks by one block, on Riverside, so it's a real neighborhood place. The food is great. Truly homemade. Everything is fantastic. The host, Ben, is stellar. Kind, attentive, and very helpful and knows the cuisine. A great place ... and our secret, okay?”

“NYC cheese slices are my jam, and we have an embarrassment of riches in Sherman Oaks. Within a mile of each other, there are three, count 'em three, authentic NY slice shops. My son and I visited all three of them on a self-guided cheese slice tour of Sherman Oaks. Pizza Wagon was stop three on the tour!

The atmosphere is good...NY decor on the walls in what feels like a truly neighborhood / not-chain space. The service was great too...the staff worked quickly and were abundantly friendly and helpful.

They do a good job with authentic style slices...the right amount of crisp on the crust and a good ratio of sauce versus cheese. The chew was good, though both the crust and sauce don't quite have the superior flavor profile of the nearby places.

It's definitely a good alternative to those, though, and miles ahead of the major chain pizzas in terms of NY style.”

“Great food, great service, music, absolutely amazing atmosphere. Highly recommended 😊✨✨”

“Basic diner ambience, the food is always good. I’m a picky eater wanting crispy home fries and crispy bacon and 9out of 10 they deliver exactly as ordered. Good service and it has an overall good vibe”

“Our favorite neighborhood place for delicious organic coffee and tea. Love the owner and her staff. Highly recommend”

“very good.. and it's right next to Joe's Pizza 😋”

“Absolutely AMAZING 🤩 🤩🤩 Just WOW 🙌🙌🙌 Must Try 💯💯💯 Will be back 😋😋😋 5 STARS all the way ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“There should be a line around the block to get into this place. The braised pork belly fried rice is amazing. We ordered veggie rolls, shrimp rolls, and braised pork belly fried rice. All delicious. Very reasonable prices. There is a little something extra spice wise in the fried rice. I can't quite identify the spice, but it makes all the difference. It's possibly the best pork belly I've had from a restaurant”

“🐶 I am always going with my owner Ben and regardless of how busy it is, the staff always take a second to show me some love and I get free snacks! #woofwoof”

“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”

“Lovely little spot with Israeli / Japanese fusion. Highly recommend the watermelon salad sth olive oil feta and the shawarma is fire! Fresh greens I hope they succeed also super solid prices compared to amazing fodnshality lol”

“Excellent Lebanese restaurant! The food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was attentive, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Lebanese cuisine!”

“I'm not a cupcake guy, but for some reason can't stop eating these cupcakes :-D”

“Love this place. The drinks are amazing. I've yet to try the pastries though.

The staff have always been very friendly. A small shop with intriguing photos of the Valley in the past on the wall.

They roast their own beans in the morning right in the front of the shop.”

“Wonderful wine bar with a top notch Somm. Will definitely be back”

“I had to fly all the way from Florida just to see what all the hype was about—and let me tell you, it was worth every second of that five-hour flight.

Coley’s isn’t just a restaurant—it’s soul food for the heart and spirit. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with warmth, culture, and a sense of belonging. The vibrant decor, music, and energy feel like a slice of Jamaica, right in L.A.

Candice and Neil are the heart behind it all. Their passion, hospitality, and authenticity shine through in every detail. You can feel the love they pour into this place—from the ki, chen to the conversation. They don’t just serve food—they serve legacy.

The soursop juice is smooth, fresh, and unforgettable. The food is pure Jamaican comfort—seasoned to perfection and made with real heart.

They’ve done it right since 1982, and the legacy is strong.

If you're ever near L.A., do yourself a favor and stop by Coley’s. Come hungry, leave full, and feel like family.

Much love and respect to Candice and Neil for keeping the culture alive and flavorful. 🇯🇲🔥”

“wow Fresh Good TastyFood great area..Definitely worth it.....”

“Food was delicious! Outside patio was lovely, but very noisy due to the traffic. Parking was tricky because it’s right on the main drag, but worth it because everything tasted so good.”

“I love Kinza. It’s a cute but no pretension type of sushi spot! Their rolls come with 10 pieces (not 8) AND you can order half size rolls even for their specialty rolls which is INCREDIBLE. Very fresh, flavorful, lots of good combos, and service is excellent.

If you can’t find parking on the street, park in the alley behind the restaurant!”

“We love it! The wine and the pizza was delicious😉”

“This eatery is a quaint jewel among others. The staff greets you with a warm and welcoming smile, and they are kind, caring and attentive. The food is delicious and tastefully presented and we keep returning to enjoy another meal.”

“Walking into Sincerely Syria, you’re welcomed by the sight of two shawarma skewers rotating, perfectly cooked and ready to serve.

We tried the beef and chicken wraps, loaded generously with garlic sauce and pickles, with a side of crispy fries. The flavors were rich, the meat was tender and juicy, and the bread was perfectly crisp without making the sandwich oversized.

Each bite felt authentically Syrian, and we left thoroughly satisfied.”

“The Schnitzel was great! The breading was fabulous. The salad was wonderful and the corn was out of this world. All in all I had an amazing meal!!!”

Vegetarian options: Great vegetable fun appetizer”

“Phish PHUN carpet, great drinks and fabulous VIBE!”

“Great taste 👅 and friendly service!”

“This place is really cool. My friend chose it, so I didn't know what to expect. Upon arrival, I noticed they have "any gender" restrooms, which was a nice touch.

I ordered the California Lounge, which was a massive burger! I added a side of "half-and-half," combining onion rings and french fries. Although the fries were a bit soggy for my taste, I still enjoyed every bite.

I also had a Mexican Coke on ice, though it's not pictured. Overall, everything was great. I appreciated the family-friendly atmosphere and the welcoming decor.”

“The best of the BEST! Such a lovely spot! 🥰🍜🥘🫕🥣🧆”

“The selection of vegetables, salad, meat chips and wraps are what sold me!! Very healthy and tasty! They also have drinks without sugar!!”

“Delicious diner food, working table juke boxes and cool decor!”

“Service was great but appetizer and delivery of main course were to close. Table size is small for the dishes they use. Serving of food is great but if you are planning to have a table of two better skip the appetizer and go into the main meal. The size table can't handle drinks plates silverware main plates not food all together. Ask for a booth for a table of two”

“Had steak and lobster with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Everything was delicious. Mel was our server and did a great job. It was my birthday and my grandson told the server. Next thing I know and Mel brought a dish with ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate syrup and strawberries with a candle in it. Great restaurant! Really enjoyed our time there!”

“las redes sociales tienen un potencial enorme...quise venir a disfrutar quizas parte de comida tijuanense...es una lastima que empleadas como esta echen a perder todo...pedí 3 tacos y una coca...y no me puso la coca en la orden...me hizo esperar el tiempo que quiso para darme mi cambio...mientras esperaba vi como le hizo mal otra orden a un señor con discapacidades...y argumentaba que no podía cambiar la orden hasta que viniera un manager...y no somos perfectos..lo se..pero la actitud es muy importante...al estar apoyando al sr en silla de ruedas...ella volteo hacia a mi y me dijo que no me metiera donde no me llaman..total..me voy decepcionado”

“Everything was fresh and delicious! The fish tacos (both grilled and fried) were full of flavor with large portions of protein. The ribeye aguachile was so good, I would come back just for that dish alone. Bold, acidic, spicy - 10/10!”
