Restaurants in Studio City

“Everything was amazing from the service to the food and sushi and the environment is unassuming and comfortable. Top notch!”

“Must get sushi, but don’t forget the corn tempura and momotaro tomato (seasonal). Awesome sake selection too.”

“The only drawback is that it's a bit loud, other than that, one of our favorite restaurants in los angeles. Unbelievably great food and service. A beautiful atmosphere. Looking forward to our next visit.”

“Had omakase 1 for dinner and each bite of the sushi were so delicious. Every single thing was practically melting in my mouth. No photo was taken as we were so hungry. We will definitely come back again. I highly recommend this place.”

“Cool dicey bar feel with great drinks and fabulous bartenders! Loved it when it was Oyster Bar, and still loving it as Oy bar!!!”

“We were 5 ppl ,ordered like 8 dishes all were amazingly great my first time to Gokaku Rama. Was so worth it after all day in universal su Dr ios,3 min drive to Gokaku place ..I did not want to end my meal .this is the best restaurant”

“One of our favorite restaurants! Such great service and the food and atmosphere are wonderful. We’ll definitely return very soon.”

“Salmon Ikura dish is amazing! So much flavor!”

“This place deserves 10 stars I could not take pictures of the food because I inhaled the food. I got 3 shawarma and finished in less than 5 minutes and almost ate my finger with it it was so good. You guys have to go heavy on that yellow sauce have no clue what it is but woowwwww that’s crazy. Also they are very generous on the meat, on top all that firework tasty food. The service is even better, the guys name is Avi and his such a welcoming and genuine. I literally felt like home honestly would have got a 4th shawarma if I had space in the stomach. Overall stop reading this and get over here try it yourself”

“Enjoyed our breakfast, very friendly staff, large portions, homemade bread and excellent service!”

“Ooh, what a lively place. It is a packed place even on a late Thursday morning, but the food is quite good.

I had the avocado toast with two poached eggs and it was tasty. I added a sprinkle of pepper and it was set to go. Definitely interested in trying the rest of their menu.

Cold brew was also nice although not too memorable.”

“Honestly, I've never been to this place but my girl and I are heading there tonight after seeing that all of the one-star reviews on Yelp are vegans complaining about cross contamination. Will add pictures tonight.”

“Gisele was really amazing. She was really sweet and very patient and she understood how to teach us about the food for our first time here.

Parking: Awesome”

“Delicious food and drinks!!!”

“Really good interior with professional service i like it”

“I have eaten at Flavor of India several times and did so very recently with a friend. This place has amazing food and service! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything is excellent and I strongly recommend them. The atmosphere is great too!”

“Excellent quality sushi with a small, Reasonably priced menu! Great, fast service, in a laid back atmosphere.

There’s only Valet or street parking, so plan accordingly.”

“My family and I have been going to the Good Neighbor for over 20+ years, and always great food and excellent service!”

“Everything here was perfect. The food was delicious (albeit a HUGE pizza that took two sittings to get through)
Alessandra provided fantastic service, she was so friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was great, we sat outside on the patio, it was beautifully lit with lovely music playing. Couldn’t fault this restaurant for a single thing, we loved it!”

“Today I tried a new sandwich for me, the Italiano. I expected a good sandwich but was pleasantly impressed how yummy. Their coffees and teas I always enjoy.”

“This is the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had! Everything was so flavorful! I had the lamb kabob plate and my dad had the chicken kabob plate, and both were fantastic! I eat a lot of mediterranean and this is absolutely the best! Its my new go to spot.”

“Every time I come to Rocco’s I’m met with a smile and a warm greeting, along with great service and comforting drinks/food. I’ve interacted with a few of the team over the time I’ve been here, including Nick, Nate, Bridgette, Manny, George, Cassie and Candace. If you’re fortunate enough to be served by any of these kind souls, consider yourself lucky. Also, the layout of the space is perfect for watching any sports game, date night, or even a solo drink before hitting the next spot. If you haven’t spent time in Rocco’s are you even alive in LA?”

“The most delicious Japanese food! We got gyoza, sushi roll, chicken katsu curry, and the croquette. Try the steamed cheesecake for dessert! Everything was fantastic.”

“Definitely a go to place for comfort food! It was my first time to go here with my girlfriends and their happy hour is worth it! Since then I kept coming back or order delivery. My favorite is the gyro combo with some sweet potato waffle fries. Don't forget the garlic aoli sauce (thank me later ;D)”

“Great wines, tasty food, and friendly staff!”

“Super good, nourishing food here! Love the vibes and the menu is massive (in a good way)! Will definitely come back in the future, so many things to try! Updated from previous review on 2021-04-18”

“I stopped in to try the coffee and check out the shop. The coffee itself was good and they had some decent food options. The atmosphere is nice, nothing too over the top. Lot of folks on their laptops, but not overly crowded. The employees were super friendly and courteous.

Overall a good experience.”

“Delicious food-l and cafe nearby from universal studios! The employees were so friendly and kind! Small, but definitely peaceful. The biscuff latte was so good! The tuna toast and avocado toast was also very delicious. When I go back to Universal, I will come back here!”

“Great, friendly crew and delish food”

“Very good rustic Italian pizza, best sauce I've had in a while. Hit them up instead of the fast pizza chains, they won't disappoint.”

“Max is the man!! Ty for the great service!!”

“The Rendition Room is hands down my favorite spot in LA. From the moment you step through the hidden bookshelf door, it’s like you’ve been transported back to the 1930s…intimate, cozy, and just the right amount of mystery. But what really makes this place shine is Richy. He’s not just a bartender; he’s a mixologist in every sense of the word. Every drink he makes feels like it’s been crafted just for you. Beyond that, Richy’s warmth and sincerity are what truly set him apart. You’re not just another customer to him…he makes you feel welcome, like an old friend, every time you stop by. The Rendition Room nails it when it comes to atmosphere, cocktails, and overall vibe. Whether you’re celebrating something big or just want a cool night out, this is the place. It’s a hidden gem that never disappoints.”

“The Brazino was amazing 🤩. Great service, salad and appetizer.”

“Excellent, very focused, lovely people working very hard here to please their guests. I want to thank my fellow restaurant folks who work so hard to get our orders correct.”

“Good food, nice vibe, cool crowd. Very friendly and attentive service for Brunch on a very rainy day.”

“The best Peruvian influenced Mexican food you will ever need. The best.”

“Wonderful service and very creative cuisine. The design is superb. Very upscale casual chic. Our server was so attentive and went over the top to take care of us. She did not want us to sit in the sun while we had brunch”

“Very nice meals. Good luck!”

“A hidden gem for Thai cuisine on the Blvd, this place is the ultimate go-to spot that most people haven't discovered yet. With a spacious, beautifully designed interior and a serene, quiet ambiance, it offers fine dining at its finest. We visit weekly to satisfy our Thai food cravings. Highly recommended!”

“Loved our meals, took my son here who’s 17 and he loved his meal. He had the milanesa napolitana and i had the chicken with mushrooms on it. Service was also phenomenal”

“Excellent Italian food. Fine dining. Great for special occasions.”

“Excellent food !! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu”

“🙂👍 Bryce is a great bartender!”

“The moment we walked in, we knew we were in this restaurant for a treat. The atmosphere is stunning and elegant, with just the right amount of charm. Overall,this restaurant checks all the boxes,excellent food, impeccable service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to linger. Highly recommended!”

“This place has an incredible musical vibe and an amazing staff of great humans!!!”

“The ambiance of this place was incredible. The chef who took our order actually took the time to fully explain each of the ramen choices that are on the menu. While waiting for our ramen, we got to see him apply the aromatics to each bowl of ramen. The presentation was incredible, and then we took a bite. I can honestly say that after taking my first bite that I sat back in my chair because I was so blown away at what I had just tasted. Incredible doesn't even come close to what my taste buds experienced. 🤯 If you're looking for amazing ramen, then Redwhite Boneless Ramen on Ventura Blvd is your spot.”

“Leo is the best chef. So kind, personable, and knows his sushi. He makes just about everything from his ginger to his soy sauce from scratch even though he’ll tell you, “no soy sauce” for most of the sushi that comes as it should be eaten. Best sushi restaurant on Ventura Blvd by far. Make sure to try his dry aged fish!

Parking: There are a few spots behind the restaurant.”

“Really love the food here, especially the yubu and rose teppoboki! My wife and I have been here several times and always appreciate the service and the great food and decor!”

“Artisanal ice cream. Very good.”

“Absolutely the best ice cream and service in LA. Every location is consistant and delicious. My only complaint is they discontinued the vegan mint chip!!! Bring it back! Absolutely yummy. And so great to kids. And their sprinkles don’t have the gross dyes in them so I can be fun mom.”

“Hands down my favorite place for Italian food!!! Without mentioning that their tiramisu is the best tiramisu of my life!!!! Highly recommended the tasting menu, includes a starter, 3 different pasta flavors and dessert.
The place is a bit small and dark but it gives me vibes of NYC kitchen/bar, which is cool.”

“Charming place to put in some work (if you don’t mind the background music) when a change of scenery is needed.”

“Alright, burger aficionados, I've just experienced burger nirvana, and it's called Hi-Ho Burger in Encino. Forget everything you thought you knew about patties and buns, because Hi-Ho is rewriting the burger rulebook.

Let's start with the meat. They use 100% grass-fed Wagyu beef, and you can taste the difference. It's rich, juicy, and melts in your mouth like butter.

This isn't your average ground beef; this is a culinary masterpiece between two buns. Each bite is a symphony of flavor. The best part is the meat is Halal.

They don't overload their burgers with a million toppings. They let the quality of the ingredients shine. It's a classic done to absolute perfection.
The fries? Crispy, golden, and perfectly salted. They're the ideal companion to the burger, and you'll find yourself fighting for the last one. The fries are served in a freaking awesome brown paper bag with holes in the shape of H. A very artistic touch. Picture is included below.

But it's not just the food that makes Hi-Ho so special. It's the atmosphere. It's clean, and inviting. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, clearly passionate about their burgers. And there is a feeling of a place that cares about quality.

This isn't just a burger joint; it's an experience. It's a reminder of what a truly great burger should taste like. It's a testament to the power of simple ingredients done exceptionally well.
If you're looking for the best burger in Encino, scratch that, the best burger period, head to Hi-Ho Burger. You won't be disappointed. In fact, you'll probably be planning your next visit before you've even finished your first bite. Prepare to have your burger expectations shattered and your taste buds forever grateful. Hi-Ho Burger, you've earned a permanent spot in my burger-loving heart!

Dietary restrictions: Meat is Halal. Awesome.

Parking: First 90 mins is free.”

“Really amazing coffee, oat milk is an option (my fave!), super friendly baristas, adorable shop with a perfect location for me in Studio City, and I love the banana and almond butter with honey toast! ��”

“are you kidding? The Best!”

“I love Kreation! And this location is near my place, so naturally my favorite haha. The team is always welcoming, knowledgeable of the menu, and wanting to help in any way. The food and drinks are so healthy yet yummy. If you are looking to cleanse and take the healthier route in life, Kreation is an amazing lifestyle change! Also, they do take some bottle deposits. Thank you Kreation!”

“Everything was Awesome! Great food and Atmosphere!”

“Always amazing food and service. I just love this restaurant.”

“Excellent food and service!! Fresh hot quiet. Very friendly attentive staff!”

“Had a pasta and pizza and they were both amazing. We are from Australia and found it hard to find a good restaurant in the Marina bay sands area and this did not disappoint. 5 stars”

“Love it mane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’”

“Great owners, long time staff who are really good people. They all care about their food and their service”

“Comfortable room, but high noise levels.”

“The food was absolutely amazing, we tried different things from the menu and it was all just SO good! We also had the Green tea tempura icecream for dessert and that was 10/10! The service was top level - welcoming, friendly and great recommendations!”

“Best Sushi Great people Love this place!!❤️”

“GREAT COSTUMER SERVICE ON TOP OF THE ABSOLUTE DELI FOOD - VERY PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT <3”

“Food great and employees are too”

“This place gets crowded around dinner times and there is normally a wait so plan accordingly. They have non typical business hours so i would check the hours before coming here.”

“My favorite Italian spot in town! The food is incredible! Be sure to check out their wine lists as well! I love the lasagna paired with a bottle of barbera wine! The service here is excellent and is one of my new favorite places!”

“Update: My second time here - after trying cold fish wrapped into the seaweed I got contacted by one of the regional managers. I came again - this time in Monday and it was packed. I had to wait for like 15 mins but it was a holiday.
I got seated and server lady was surprisingly good - I was getting food on time and rice to fish ratio was good too. The problem remained - half of my fish felt frozen. I will give this business 4 stars because of the regional manager and the bar's manager Christina - she was amazing - attentive, friendly, cooperative - what a great host!Thanks and I ll see you again soon

Original review:
I like to go to Kazunori in Santa Monica and Marina Del Rey

Decided to try this one today. The interior looks a little different. The place was almost packed at 2.30pm. The service was good. The host and the cashier were less friendly than at the other locations but thats ok.
What I really didnt like was the fact that all fish was cold almost to the freezing level. Therefore the taste was altered in a bad way - every roll tasted pretty much the same cause the fish shines when its a little on the cooler side. I got set of 6 and only crab roll was to the point. You guys need to adjust the temperature. The portions were a little smaller too. The atmosphere was ok I guess - not a place to go to socialize with other people. Everyone was minding their own business. Outside of that decent experience. Will visit it again next time”

“This place is the Go-To spot for sushi.. always fresh and delicious 😋”

“Great employees and ambiance. Friendly people enjoying coffee.”

“Mike, the store manager at this location went above and beyond tonight when a rude customer who had not waited more than 2 minutes interrupted out conversation and spoke down to me. The customer was condescending and extremely rude - Mike refused to serve him. Its rare people take chances to stand up for what's right any more and I couldn't appreciate it more. Oh and my coffee was bomb!”

“the best Hawaiian sandwich ever!!!! it's a very long drive but worth every time”

“The Uncle Ronnie sandwich is so bomb. Home made English muffin and has hashbrowns inside. A must if you’re in Studio city.

Parking: Big lot in the back”

“Nice place to chill, nice back patio too.”

“I cannot believe I have never written about this Ubatuba! I have been coming here for YEARS and I absolutely love it. This location is hands down one of my favorite places in LA. The staff here over the past few years have always been amazing. They always remember who you are and you really feel like family. The sizes of the bowls are great! And you get to choose your own toppings. I come here so often and I just want to say how much I love it here!”

“Delicious. We had 3 different burgers and they didn't disappoint. it was my best burger yet.”

“some good pizza and reasonable pricing🥳”

“excellent service. very rich”

“Ordered the California chicken taco and Santa Fe Burrito with beans. Both were very tasty, good sized portions and came with tortilla chips and a GREAT salsa bar. Which were amazing btw. Try the roasted tomato salsa, my fav, and the gracamole salsa.”

“This is my favorite place for an amazing price chinese food. The people are always so nice and the food is hot and fresh. Today I had the garlic shrimp. Amazing! I plan on trying every item on lunch menu. By the way, did I mention I drive an hour away to eat here? Parking is hard but if you can't find parking in the lot, try the street. Well worth it!”

“obsessed with the Earl grey ice cream!!”

“This was my first visit with Philz coffee. I cannot rave enough about it! Outstanding customer service! I let them know that it was my first visit. How the ordering process worked was explained I selected the Chia Tea, such amazing notes and crafted to my expectations. I was asked to sample the taste before placing my lid. Calm and peaceful ambiance along with a clean well kept store. They also support local artists and I love it!!! Check them out!”

“Hi there, it’s Alfie the mini Dachshund again! ? I recently had brunch at Jax’s Studio City, and let me tell you, the food was almost as good as a nice belly rub!

First up, the Meat Lovers Burrito! Yum, it was packed with all the good stuff—meaty, savory, and filling. I’d give it a solid 8/10. Then came the Classic Egg Sandwich… let’s just say the garlic aioli made it delicious! Every bite had me wagging my tail in excitement.

Now, as much as I liked the food, the service was a bit ruff-ruff ?. It seemed like they might have been short-staffed(and I know short) and oddly enough, they asked everyone to provide a card to eat. Not sure what that was about! But other than that, everything was still pretty pawsome.

So, if you’re in the mood for a tasty breakfast, Jax’s won’t let you down on food, but just be ready for a little wait. ?

Also the price was $100 for 2 so get ready.

Cheers,
Alfie ?

Parking: Parking was difficult to find in the street and metered only.”

“Charming place to put in some work (if you don’t mind the background music) when a change of scenery is needed.”

“Love Vitellos, feels like an awesome local secret, while being a classic la restaurant at the same time. Great food, amazing staff and fun night out. They always seem to find a way to connect to the neighborhood in new and interesting ways as well.”

“Best pizza I have ever had. The only thing better than the pizza is the genuinely awesome people. Patrick is amazing, I watched him greet regulars by name and he absolutely made my day. A+++”

“Really love the food here, especially the yubu and rose teppoboki! My wife and I have been here several times and always appreciate the service and the great food and decor!”

“Delicious !! Nutritious !! Cost effective !!! Love @sugarfish”
