“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.“
“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.“
“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!!“
“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.“
“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.“
“Love love love Cajun/Creole food! I was more than pleasantly surprised to find this gem in my neck of the woods, and am happy to report that Mardi Gras Tuesday will be my go-to Cajun/Creole joint for the foreseeable future. Mind you, I'm no expert on the cuisine, but I've been a fan for a long time and can happily endorse the Étouffée (crawfish), the Jambalaya, the Mac and Cheese, hushpuppies, and the friendly service at Mardi Gras Tuesday. *Though the cornbread didn't necessarily wow me, all and all, it was a great meal for the portions, price and quality. And considering they got slammed as soon as we walked in (around the start of the Super Bowl), the service was quick and we were in and out of there with bellies full of comfort food within an hour. Can't wait to go back!“
“Really good seating! Great pesto sandwich. Wonderful new chill coffee shop. Staff was eager to please. Once they iron out a few things (like having iced tea for non-coffee drinkers and hot days), they're gonna have lines out the door to get a table. I'm an NYC expat and I do my best work on my laptop at a coffee shop. Can't wait to come back and try the coffee!“
“I had so much fun watching the 49ers here on Sunday. Such great vibes and I am definitely looking forward to watching the Super Bowl at the oaks. Solid group of San Francisco fans and the game is on a lot of TVs so you can see it all from any seat. Hannah the bartender is rad!“
“A solid place to just casually enjoy happy hours and tacos. The drinks were good but a tad pricey, it was like a decent chunk of ice but delicious. Tacos were very simple and straightforward, the sauces weren't mind-blowing but overall enjoyable. If you need a switch up from Chipotle, stop by.“
“I love the new outside setup the vibes are amazing ! Best sushi i had in a while, great place :)Parking: A good number of spotsKid-friendliness: They are great with kids and patienceWheelchair accessibility: Good for outside not too much room inside“
“Hands down- best pizza in the Valley.Service- friendly, and invitingPizza- can't rush greatness and they know it. The way they prepare your pizza shows how much they care.Great consistency all the way through.The sauce- unreal. The marinara makes the pizza and this particular places just overshadows all the other NY pizza spots.Used to love me some other well known places (won't name em, dont wanna bring em down) but since I found this place, I can't go anywhere else.Kid-friendliness: Very nice staff. Co.e with my daughter regularly and she loves it here“
“I've always come here to purchase coffee and natas and other pastries and they are delish. My boyfriend and I decided to actually have brunch and it was impressive! He had the American breakfast with chicken sausage and added banana frosty French toast, it was incredible. I had the sopa verde and a side of scrambled eggs with feta cheese. The service was excellent and we met Zach and Ofelia who were super helpful and friendly. Highly recommend Natas Pastries!!“
“Delicious pastries, friendly service and a cozy patio.Pick your country and pretend you're sipping your latte there.Update: I just went into the shop and, as I’ve always done, asked for a loaf of rye bread. I was told that I could not buy one without preordering it, although I’ve never preordered a bread and I’ve been buying them since Schatzi opened. I’m puzzled and disappointed.“
“Authentic, made to order (thus takes a while), delicious wraps in a casual setting - only a couple choices (beef or chicken) which as a person that gets quickly overwhelmed with options, I definitely appreciated. Garlic sauce was particularly amazing, parking was a little difficult - not the best place for a larger group (we had around 10) but good for take-out or a very casual small group“
“The O'Cado Burger was a 10/10. The vegan crabcakes had good presentation but it’s missing some flavor. The peach ice tea was unsweetened and would’ve been better with sweetness.The staff & hospitality is top notch.Clean, nice vibe and good music.“A” rating for food inspection.“
“I absolutely love this neighborhood coffee shop.. I have become quite a coffee nut in the past 8 years and tortoni’s espresso doesn’t compare to other coffee shops. These guys really know their stuff. Their temps are always spot on and their hot lattes are so smooth, no need for flavors here! I’ve been a loyal regular customer for about 8 months now and cannot see myself finding anything better in the SFV.“
“I just discovered this place, so I've only been able to try their Gazpacho (I like mine cold, so I let it sit in fridge for a few hours), Hummus, and Homemade Pita Chips, and they were all fantastic. I can't wait to try their other food.Vegetarian options: Everything I tried was vegetarian“
“Stumbled upon Paradis after having lunch at Crave and I am so glad we did! The whole family absolutely loved the ice cream! My wife loved the Banana Sundae, but the coffee chip was my absolute favorite.Super fun atmosphere with lots of games, we played jenga and the kids loved it!Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area!“
“The stars of the shop were the two gentlemen working the bar. They were so so kind, they greeted everyone who walked through with a huge smile on their faces and were kind and helpful if we asked questions. I came on a Sunday so I unfortunately couldn't see the little shop they're next to but, the coffee shop itself is still so cute with big windows & plenty of seating. We got some pastries. The savory chorizo-filled type pastry was so delicious! Their cold-brew is fantastic!! Drinks are not that sweet so if you're into sweet stuff, beware. My friend wished her latte was sweeter. I got a cold brew latte without sweetener and it was the best cold brew I've had in LA. The two gentlemen from earlier deserve a raise!!!“

“I fully enjoyed this breakfast! The wait was not very long (we were here new years eve), but we didn't mind (we checked out some of the classic cars in the lot across the side street). We got street parking without difficulty. The food was phenomenal - I had the creamy green shakshuka and also shared the traditional shakshuka served over their hummus which was perfection and shared the lox toast which was also delicious. Coffee was perfect. Service was excellent.“
“We had Sunday brunch here, there was no wait time and we were seated immediately. The service was fast, and the brunch was good, The chicken taco was marinated perfectly, the blue jam Benedict was also good, the potatoes on the side was lacking taste, maybe some salt would have added to the taste. The iced coffee seemed very sweet to me. The ginger shots were good.“
“The owner and staff were so welcoming!!! A pretty standard Italian dinner menu was made amazing by the chef who's take on things was so much better than expectations. And they were so accomodating about helping with parking (Ventura is busy early in the evening) that we will definitely be back, and bring some friends.“
“I am so happy I found this place!! This was one of my first times in Sherman Oaks, and I just wanted to find something to eat that would make me feel good and not run down when I’m on the go, so I’m stoked I found Harvest Bar. I’m not vegan but I love places that can make even a meat eater like myself love eating things like jackfruit nachos. The smoothie was delicious too and my friend got an acai bowl that was super fresh. Definitely gonna make this a go to spot when I’m over that way“
“Fantastic food in a busy but fun atmosphere.We have been coming to this restaurant since it opened at this location. The food is fantastic, there is plenty of free parking in the lot behind and usually room to be seated. Friendly staff.The only downside I have noticed over the past few years is that orders can take quite a bit longer than they used to. It's not uncommon to have a 20 to 30 minute wait once food is ordered which can be a bummer with hungry kids.“
“I am devoted to a different Thai restaurant but decided to give this place a shot because it was closer to us, and we were hungry. Wow, I'm so glad we chose this place over our usual spot because this place is amazing. It was so good we ordered it as take out the following night. The pumpkin curry shrimp is to die for. The squash/pumpkin is sooooo soft. The flavor of the curry is unreal, and the shrimp are a good size. The crying tiger was cooked to perfection, and the sauce that comes with it is so delicious. The chow mein noodles were also good, I do wish there was more in the order. The coconut shrimp appetizer was so crunchy, and the shrimp on the inside was cooked perfectly. As mentioned, we had this two nights in a row. Obviously, the best choice is dining in, but even take out it was still really good. Give this place a try. You won't be disappointed“
“I’m not a fan of cafeteria style eateries but this place is an exception. Had the Chinese chicken salad and it was very good. Great atmosphere for a client meeting, day date, or if you just want to get out somewhere. Because of the outdoor space it works with kids too, if you are okay with ordering at the counter then finding a seat.“
“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!“
