“As someone who didn't like sushi before, this place has plenty of options, including baked rolls to try! It's a cute atmosphere inside, with good service and good food! I now enjoy sushi because of this place!”
“Very flavorful dishes at good price and quick service. great sushi . i have not enjoyed my sushi like that in many years. The best hole in the wall ever!!!”

“absolutely loved this place. my friend dragged me here and I was not expecting much from a strip mall spot but the food was incredible, everything came out super fresh and piping hot.
it felt real cozy inside and the lady at the counter was so nice, honestly cant wait to go back for more of that garlic green beans.”
“This place is incredible!!! Hands down the best, most fresh Mexican food in Simi! Beautiful decor, staff is absolutely as kind as possible! I cannot recommend this place enough!!! Their homemade salsa is my new fav! I’ll have to stop here as much as I can! Absolutely loved it!!”
“Sitting outside is nice. Drinks are good. Beer is good. The food is good but not great. The portion size has decreased especially on the happy hour menu which is usually shared. When its slow service is good. When its busier service is very slow and hard to get the servers attention because they do not have enough servers on. They think they are saving money this way, but people end up leaving or not coming back because of the slow service.”
“I love your sushi! They also have some of the best curry dishes!”
“Been going here over 20 years food is consistently good, same quality every location. All employees are super amazing and feel like its family over the years watching people grow or leave. Manager Frank been there like 40 years & always was friendly. Tony & Mario great bar tenders make best drinks. Out every Mexican restaurant I've ever try. Yolanda still the best!! Free chips salsa and bean dip too.”

“I had the same server as two years and ago and she’s still awesome. I wish I could remember her name :) I go every time I come to visit from Maryland. The food always hits the spot. I just miss the tree stumps. Other than that there’s 3 things to look forward to in Simi Valley-good friends, Smiley face hill and Jerry’s Coffee Shop. :)”
“Our furbabies love the "pup meals" at In-n-Out. We went yesterday for our furbabies 12th birthday and had a HUGE order for their birthday party with family. Mia helped us out at the drive-thru. She saw our furbabies in the car and we told her it was their birthday and told her what we were doing. She was so amazing!! She was patient with us and our order. As we drove thru to pick up our food, she came to the window and said "hi, it’s me again" and handed us 1 of our bags, which was the food for the furbabies. Inside the bag, was a hand written note on a napkin that said "Happy Birthday". We were so touch that she went above and beyond to make our babies birthday special that we told the other employees that she needed a raise! One of our babies has a heart condition that he wasn’t suppose to be with us anymore so this gesture was so special and made our day!! Thank you again Mia!!!!!”

“I ordered the mix naan and punjabi subji.. it was so nice and amazing food…”
“A plethora of sushi places in this area of town. So I went to the one that had the slightly highest rating. Man, did this nor disappoint! 5 star experience. Staff was welcoming and all smiles. Sushi chefs were laughing and chatting with guests as they went about their master craft. Food presentation was A+ and freshness and taste were right on point. Perfectly paced service as well. While I was there what must have been the owners' family were eating and laughing. Just a general wonderful vibe. Perfect addition to my weekend away.”

“This was an awesome experience for our boys, ages 11, 9 and 6. My oldest boys had brought their own R/C trucks to try on the track, but they quickly realized that the trucks available to rent there were far superior, and the track was designed with that size in mind. It was well worth paying more to rent their trucks, but also fun to put our on trucks to the test. The staff was friendly and very helpful, giving the kids plenty of guidance, and staying out on the track to rescue trucks that flipped over. The bathroom was clean, water cooler available, and there were plenty of tables with umbrellas to provide shade. The onsite food truck provided yummy, family friendly food. The word needs to get out about this place—it’s great!”
“Big Mike was amazing!! Had my brother’s bachelor party supper here in a private room and Mike was better than we could have ever expected!!! It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a steakhouse in my 42 years of life. When I come back to Cali, we’re coming back if he’s there.”
“This place is family owned, it seems and it's my favorite. I will die for these noodles. I found it years ago when I was living in Simi Valley and I have since moved out of Simi and I am ALWAYS willing to make the drive to get these noodles. They give you more than enough food and the price point is incredibly reasonable. I tell everyone I know about this place and I love it.”
“Raspberry margarita yum! The kids loved the Trunk O Treat in the parking lot! It was fun for us parents as well! Also the kids fries were so good too lol”
“The food was delicious, service by Danielle was fabulous. No rush just plenty of time to total enjoy our food. The food cook by Eddie was more them delicious it's was fabulous.
Thank you all for a special night out just to enjoy good meal and great company with my huddy. ❤️”

“Sadly, I would recommend the Denny’s in Moorpark and NOT the “new one” in Simi Valley. We were SO EXCITED to see that a Denny’s was coming back to Simi Valley - and for the first few months we enjoyed weekly breakfast and dinner once a week. Servers started changing (NOT a good sign) and sometimes it seems like they really didn’t want to be there. And WHAT on earth did they do to the gravy? I use to love a side order or biscuits and gravy - but the last three times it was watery and had absolutely NO flavor. Today we had lunch at the Denny’s in Moorpark and the food was excellent and the servers were attentive, friendly - and ones we have seen working there for years. That has to say something about how management is treating them. The last time we went to dinner at the Simi Valley Dennys - a nice, familiar waitress served us and I told her we had missed seeing her and she said her days were cut to just 2 days a week. She use to work at the Denny’s on Sycamore and also at the Coco’s on Los Angeles Ave. (now closed). We’d sure like to see MORE servers like her at the Simi Denny’s - any restaurant that has such a change over in staff is not a good sign. A happy, well treated server will tend to stay if the Manager is good and cares for their employees. I’ve lived in Simi for almost 50 years and many of my friends who also liked the Denny’s on Sycamore now go to the one in Moorpark instead of the one closer to “home”. That is such a shame. In general, we all like Denny’s menu and affordable prices - but our local Denny’s needs to care more about providing it’s customers with the best food and service possible. Please, Simi Denny’s - hire better staff - including cooks - and treat your staff better so they will want to stay - and will be happy to serve their customers instead of making us feel like our servers would rather be somewhere else.”
“Will continue to come here for my Del Taco Food. This place makes the food properly unlike the previous place where I used to go to all the time. I stopped going there because the female chef failed repeatedly to make the food properly, so now I come here. I have to drive far away to this location and I don't have a problem with it. As long as this place makes the food properly and treats their customers like me, great, this is the location I'll be coming to.”
“This is the best sushi in Simi Valley. Our family eats here once a week and the service and food are always on point. The ingredients, sauces and fish are quality and fresh. The rolls are consistent. I order the same roll and it's perfect every time. The chef's are very nice and welcoming. The servers and bus staff are very sweet and happy to see you. They know our orders now!! Also, the hot green tea is wonderful. I have to add that I really like the music they play in the restaurant. This is a nice gem of a restaurant in Simi.”

“The best Vietnamese cuisine in Simi Valley. Portion is big, price is fair and the taste is just awesome. Been eating here since 2016. It has never failed us. I like this place better than the other sites they have, only because it is easier to park here and closest to our home back then.”
“The food was delicious and heartwarming, just like a home-cooked meal. The atmosphere was simple, clean, and unpretentious, which added to its charm. It's a true family-run business, and you can feel the joy and humility in their service. We truly felt welcomed and appreciated. We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu!”
“The blond manager is a hustler ! sometimes she works by herself . She needs a raise who do I talk to ? She did like 3 orders at once crazy! Lol she’s so nice she’s the reason why I go back always happy to see me really smart girl . She puts a smile on my face great customer service”
“This place has absolutely become one of my go-tos in Simi. I’m obsessed. The food is amazing, the cheap tacos on Tuesdays are such a good deal, and their cucumber drink is SO good. I literally think about it when I’m not there. 😂
But honestly, one of the biggest reasons I keep coming back is the people. The main girl I always see working the register—the one who always has her red lipstick and her nails done—is SO sweet. Like genuinely so sweet and personable. She remembers you, talks to you like an actual person, and somehow every interaction with her just feels good. I love her, love her, love her. Everyone else I’ve interacted with has been really nice too.
There are honestly very few places in Simi where I feel like the customer service is as much a part of the experience as the food, and this is one of them. It’s all about the vibes for me, and the vibes here are just GOOD.
The parking can be a little confusing/hidden the first time you come here, but once you figure it out, you get it. It almost adds to the charm because this place feels like one of those if you know, you know spots.
Cheap tacos on Tuesday, cucumber drink, amazing people. What else do I need? 😂 Whether I’m coming specifically for Taco Tuesday or just because I’m craving their food, I’ll absolutely keep coming back. I love this place.”
“Just the best Thai food around. Great people. Really enjoy eating there every chance I get.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“The two gentlemen behind the counter were friendly and processed my order quickly. Asked if I wanted full or partial wrap on any of the dogs, which was appreciated - because I can't get out of the parking lot without at least devouring one dog. The food is always on point and consistent. One thing that I really love about Cupid's, is their chili sauce. By itself, it would be bland. But the point is not to be eaten by itself, obviously. What makes it great is the distinct lack of salt. This incorporates amazingly with the saltines coming from the dog itself and the mustard. Whenever I'm close to one of their locations I try to make it in. The Simi Valley store is especially nice and so is the staff.
Oh, yeah. The Chicago dog is authentic and spectacular.”
“We love this little spot. We always call in and out food is ready within 10-15 minutes, just enough time to hop in the car and get it. Food is always yummy and they have great variety. Out go to order is pad Thai with fried tofu (for the kiddos) pad see ewe with shrimp and green curry. It's become our go to Thai spot in Simi!”
“The food is consistently fresh and very good; the staff is kind and helpful. I have been going here (Simi) for over three years, and I have family in Ventura, and found the Ventura location near the Ventura Government Center, also the same quality of food and staff there. I recommend them! Great Food and Great Value!”
“Marco’s Pizza is my go to whenever I’m looking for a tasty pizza that actually has quality ingredients on it. I hate ordering a pizza and it is all greasy or not enough toppings on it. Marco’s is the solution to that problem! Also if you haven’t tried their wings or Cheezybread, those are perfect for any game day party you’re going to have!”
“Always a treat to have delicious tender pastrami and roast beef sandwiches. This place is a must for lunch or dinner. The chili fries portions are ginormous. Clean dining area and restrooms. It's a win-win!!!
Update as of 7-14-2026:
Still just as delicious as before!”
“My son & I enjoyed are dinner time together � and the service is awesome �”
“We will not return. SOME staff is just too volatile & moody & rude. We have been going here often. The last straw was last Monday at 4:30 pm when the rude Korean waitress Sylvia (?) refused to seat us in the closest booths ( "No those are for employees "🤔) and then refused us another booth because we were only two people. Mind you we've sat at every booth many times every time because of our back issues. Even though I have a cane, she often makes us wait when the place is clearly dead. The only pleasant staff is Manny, Vanessa & the nice female Hispanic bus person. But Sylvia & the very gruff Chinese woman act like they are doing you a huge favor. I have overlooked their rudeness before, but this was it for us. Perhaps she doesn't like people line me with canes. We will go to Kyoto instead or Hai Sushi we do not need to be treated rudely.”
“TUESDAY FOOD REVIEW...HAI SUSHI (again)...3/5/24! Today we went back to Hai Sushi, located at 1101 E Los Angeles Ave., in Simi Valley, for lunch. We have eaten there many times over the years, as their food is always DELICIOUS!!! I had their Miso Soup, Spring Greens Salad, 911 Roll, Lobster Roll, Shrimp Tempura, Fresh Water Eel, Spicy Scallop Hand Roll, Garlic Edamame, Yellowtail Sushi, and Salmon Sushi. And it was as it always is, fresh and delicious!!!! Definitely Simi Valley's best sushi restaurant!!!”
Cheap Eats
“Love this place! Excellent food! Great atmosphere! The menu is HUGE! It took me 30 minutes to pick something the first time I went there because there were so many delicious things to choose from. I think the waitress came by like five times. Are you ready yet? Lol 😆 Oh yeah and they have a Huge selection of shakes and malts”
“I came into your store skeptical of what I might find ! I usually give place one chance to impress me and then that’s it ! Well I was impressed it was clean and I didn’t stick to the table s like a lot of places . The sandwich was amazing . You have earned another trip to see if you are consistent as well. Thank you and keep up the good work . I give them a 5”
“Eggs and Things is a wonderful restaurant right out of the Ventura Boulevard style. The food is great. The free appetizer is a nice little surprise and the most delicious toast I’ve ever had and if I’m not mistaken, it is buttered on both sides!
The place is a little bit loud, but that’s only because it’s so popular. We try to go weekly and it’s great for Easter!
Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly
Wheelchair accessibility: Fully wheelchair accessible, including the restroom”
“We did take-out for lunch and will definitely be back! The Sausage Parmigiano sub was well flavored and cheesy. The Italian Cold Cut was like an Antipasto salad in a bun, loaded and yummy. And our kiddo loved the chicken strips and steak fries which were heaped generously in the box. 💜”

“I go every morning to get an iced coffee and sausage mcmuffin no egg. The girl at the first window sometimes. Today she worked the 2nd window. She makes my mornings. Not only beautiful but she is a sweet heart. Wish I knew her name. Keep up the good work McDonald's.”

“FRIDAY FOOD REVIEW...GOLDEN PANDA BUFFET (again)...5/30/25! We hadn't been to the Golden Panda Buffet, located at 1825 Madera Rd, in Simi Valley, in several years, so it was time to go back! They have a huge selection of Japanese, Chinese, and Mongolian food for your dining pleasure, plus there are also different soups, salads, fruits, and of course desserts and ice creams! We both tried a variety of it all, and for a buffet, it's really good!! It's definitely a locals favorite...get there early!!”
“This place rocks!
This is one of those spots that can either be busy beyond belief or super chill and inviting for the weekday traveler. Either way, it’s got a great atmosphere and just feels welcoming the second you walk in.
I sat at the bar, and the biggest standout was Marcos. He’s the man! Super helpful with the menu, great service, and genuinely just a great conversationalist. I really enjoyed chatting with him. Above and beyond customer service that made the whole experience even better.
And the food is so damn good. I ordered off the brunch menu, and it HIT. Tons of flavor, huge portions, and some killer sauces that brought everything together.
By far the best food I’ve had in Simi Valley so far. This place absolutely deserves the hype.”

“Came to Simi Valley for work. Always struggle to find good food. I stopped in with my mother on our last evening here... so glad I did. Place is cute, has authentic Italian items for purchase (my mom bought olive oil and marinara sauce) she had a salad and I had the Caprese Salad sandwich. Did not disappoint. I am definitely coming back!”
“Great food, get the asada burrito it’s one of the few spots in Simi with real Chili Arbole sauce
4 months and like 5 more trips later it’s still dope! Great burritos nachos fries and birria.
It’s a small joint so if you’re used to good food you know what’s up. My daughter loves the asada fries”
“First time eating there and honestly truth I really enjoyed the food it was great service great guys there at the front desk the BBQ ribs were awesome the side orders were good too so I really recommend this place and I'm going back again but this time I'm going to try the barbecue pork ribs”
“Delicious food, bowls, tacos, and most importantly and extraordinarily, Kayleen’s service was excellent and spectacular. She helped us select our dish and we loved that she gave us the drinks for free. She is very kind and attentive. Thanks to her, we will come back. Kaylee, you are very kind and sweet.”
“A small restaurant with bar on the golf course, outside seating, smaller live bands and enough room for dance. The views are so nice and green. Mid to later type ages, a few younger. A wonderful time we had meeting others. Food good and drinks not expensive. Lovely host/server. Closed at 9p.”
“We had a fantastic experience at Urban Cafe on Tapo Canyon! I came in with my daughters, who were having a hard time deciding what to order. The manager, Bridget, was absolute magic—she was so patient and offered several wonderful suggestions.
Thanks to her recommendations, my girls ended up loving their kids' grilled cheese and the Baja enchilada soup. On top of the incredible food and service, you have to save room for dessert. Their cookies are displayed right next to the registers, making them virtually impossible to resist, and they taste even better than they look!
Bridget’s warm hospitality and the great food made us lifelong customers. We will definitely be back!”
“Upgraded former dive bar, it was Judge Roy Bean's. Much nicer now, with better drinks and lots of entertainment options every week. Pool table and darts round out the bar fun. Worth a visit if you haven't been, and want a good neighborhood spot for a drink or sports.”
“The Krispy Krunchy chicken is inside Golden Panda. We came here for the chicken and it is how I remember it! Amazingly delicious. It’s the best fried chicken you’ll eat. We also had the buffet here and it is surprisingly amazing! I’m not a big Chinese buffet guy, as a matter of fact I’m most certainly a foody. Me and my wife eat everywhere spending big money on bigtime food. But that childhood flavor of gas station chicken is still soooooo good. If you didn’t already know, KFC started in a gas station and I loved that too. (Something changed there though).
I do really hope they make this a door dash order that I can make. I’d for sure order this many, many times. It would also give everyone in the area an opportunity to try the chicken. I think everyone thinks this ad is a mistake.”
“Hello, honestly, no matter how much I say about this new Chipotle branch on Simi Valley, it wouldn’t be enough—it’s really excellent. Compared to the other Chipotle branch on Simi Valley (town center), this new location is much better. The food quality at this new branch
is significantly higher, and the staff are very respectful toward customers. I’m truly happy that this branch has opened here.
Re :10148at2:25
I wanna add reward to this branch today, it is very good experience like my last visit.”
“Three of us just had a lovely lunch at this restaurant. The food was good. But the owner was much more delightful and in of itself he is worth coming back to this place again.”
