“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!!!”
“Went for a friend's birthday a few weeks ago and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! My favorite dish was the spicy kurbobuta fried rice. The music was really loud but overall a great dinner, will definitely go back.”
“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.”
“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!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“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!”
“Great wine, cool spot. I love that you can describe what you are looking for and the bartenders will pull a few choices for you to try. Vegan/gluten-free tater tots are also a plus. A good place to go around 5-6 before it gets busy.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“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”

“I’m always doubtful when I see a 5 star review, but this neighborhood gem certainly deserves it. The staff is friendly, everything is clean, but the food!!! We ordered the family plate (to eat there) which was to feed 4, and we could only eat about half - it could feed 4 growing teenagers. Everything they brought out was delicious. There was a plate of pickled vegetables, a bowl of fantastic hummus with pita, a large plate of garlic fries, a plate full of grilled vegetables, and a large platter full of grilled meats. Everything was flavored to perfection. The beef kabob was cut-with-a-fork tender. I would definitely come back. The only problem is that it is too close to home and I’d be temped to go too often!”
“2024 Update: The beers and fries were still good, but the burgers were not as good as I remembered. Only service dogs are allowed inside now, but the large patio outside is partially heated. Parking was easy and the location is close to the highway though, so that's also a plus.
Note: Photos are from when we previously visited in 2023.”

“Very pleasant and friendly atmosphere. I was welcomed with kindness, smile and appreciation. Very good and professional service. Food prepared to my liking. Good drinks. Attractive bar. Delicious soufflé. I celebrated Birthday. It was nice and festive.”

“Great ramen spot I've been coming to for years. My go-to order is definitely the spicy chicken (first pic). Another great one is the Black Ramen (second pic). Parking is quite tight since it shares its lot with other businesses, but it's still worth it. Couldn't recommend this spot enough
They must have the Ratatouille guy back there in the kitchen, tearing it up. That's the only way I can figure out how they make their ramen this bussin'.
Dietary restrictions: Offer Gluten free noodles”
“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.”
“This is a very cute restaurant and the food is fantastic. The servers were all very friendly. I highly recommend the chilaquiles, it is not a very large portion as I typically would expect of a dish like chilaquiles, so if you’re sharing, order at least one per every two people. It has a very pleasant citrus taste to it and the chips are great. The egg pizza (add bacon) is fantastic. The combination of flavors between the runny egg yolk, caramelized onions, bacon, and cheese all blend magnificently together. I also had the Noa’s cauliflower, which was good but not as amazing as the previous dishes, however that didn’t stop me from eating all of it. The chefs French toast is a bit eggy, but makes a nice sweet finish to brunch. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be eating here again.”
“Needed a fast, casual, affordable (relative) healthy option for lunch before seeing the Strange Darling matinee at Regal Theater /Sherman Oaks Galleria. Bam! We found it at Hana. I had the teriyaki salmon bowl (crispy delicious salmon, fluffy soft rice) and my bro had chicken katsu plate crispy delicious chicken, fluffy soft rice). Both dishes came with generous portions of fresh veggies. You can eat in on clean tables, or sit in the courtyard under umbrellas. Will definitely come again. If you're looking for high end/fine dining it's probably not your thing. But the food was fresh and tasty and the service was friendly and kind. ?”
“The fried chicken was amazing and fresh. The breading as well was perfect and was not to think nor thin and cooked to perfection. The customer service as well was impeccable, all of the workers as well as the owners caters to your needs and makes sure that your enjoying the place. Hands down one of the best fried chicken as well as the customer service I’ve ever had”
“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.”
“I recently had the chicken madeiro and it is simply amazing. But the service was also very good along with the intimate kind of ambience there makes it a VERY worthwhile dining experience that you must do at least once in your lifetime!”

“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.”
“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 :)”
“Such a beautiful place in Sherman Oaks! Brought the family here for Breakfast for the first time after driving by it for weeks. We were all very impressed with the quality of food and the exceptional service provided by our waitress Emily! We will definitely be back in the future!”
“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!”

“I ordered from this location through DoorDash and multiple times. My order is missing drinks or bad quality so this time I ordered DoorDash and I was missing a frizzy and the other freezing look like half of it was missing so I came to the restaurant to see what is going on. I spoke to the manager he was very sweet and accommodating and he explained to me that the order was good when I left the restaurant and he said many times he has those problems with DoorDash and Uber Eats and I kind of believe him because the Dashers and drivers don't wanna communicate. Do you wanna explain themselves where is the missing items so I think uber is on DoorDash need to be held responsible for the orders we deliver and if it's missing, it's on them.”
“This is a great neighborhood Italian place. Great people running the joint. Authentic. Almost don’t want to review to keep it as a secret neighborhood spot but they deserve success. Yum.”

“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?”
“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”
“"Schatzi's bakery really surprised me in a positive way. The avocado bread with mozzarella and tomato was a delight - the ingredients were fresh and harmonized perfectly with each other. The matcha latte was a highlight in itself, tasted great and prepared just right. What I liked most What convinced me was the excellent price-performance ratio. Overall, it was a great experience that I can only recommend!"kind regards

“We swung by this pleasant and personable place to satisfy an evening boba fix. We ordered a taro and an original milk tea, both of which were divine. I noticed that many of the ingredients for the various beverages were in plain sight from the counter and were quality, authentic, and fresh. Thanks for the night cap!”
“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?”
“Great place to network! Perfect local Go to place after work or meet new business links and more.”

“The wait staff are smiling and friendly.
We went there for my autistic sons birthday and they interacted perfectly with him.That made for a memorable experience. The orange chicken is tasty and large pieces and portions.Finally we have a favorite favorite restaurant. Okay so now I want some chow mein😉
Parking: Park across Magnolia Blvd. And use Ralph's parking
Kid-friendliness: Very attentive and pleasant”
“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!”
“Wow what an amazing hidden gem off of Ventura Blvd in Sherman Oaks. The food was incredible. I got the Gnocchi with a gorgonzola mushroom cream sauce. It reminded me of my own mothers cooking maybe even a little bit better...but don't tell her I said that. My gf got the penne arrabiata with chicken and the portion was very large that she had another meal after packing her leftovers. Our server Yadira was very attentive was gave amazing service.
I highly recommend this place. They also have a great take out system if dining in isnt your thing.
Thanks again”

“Our new breakfast spot! This place is a vibe in decor/music and is dog friendly. They have a small menu of sandwiches, omelets, crepes and my favorite, their parfait. Coffees are made to perfection with many flavors offered. Serving sizes are reasonable and everything is delicious and presented beautifully, even artfully. Staff are mellow and kind and create a welcoming vibe. 10/10”
“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.”
“I love this Dave's. The most important thing about a place like this is that they get your order correct. I can tell you I have been coming here since they opened and they always get it right. I never have to check or worry that they get it wrong. Whoever does the hiring here should get a raise. The staff is always friendly and go above and beyond to make things right!”
“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.”
“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”
“Really Good Coffee! ?. Colombia Nariño, Apontes Village, Honey P.O. Jared was very knowledgeable. A bit on the pricey end, but I really appreciated the amount detail (sourcing, roasting, brewing) they put into serving a very nice cup of coffee.”

“I booked a patio table on opentable, however when I got to the restaurant to check in the hostess informed me that the patio was closed and my reservation was moved inside. It would have been helpful for that either to not be available via the online app or to get a notice when the app confirms the reservation the day prior vs when you arrive. The service and food were great. Really enjoyed the esquites.”

“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!”
“Phenomenal experience and the staff was excellent.”
