“TLDR: good food, okay service.
I'll start with the good 😊 My husband and I have come here quite a bit throughout the years and have attended a handful of the special events they've put together. They had a rum event where they paired dishes with a variety of rum tastings. It was a great date night and nights like that will keep us coming back. I also remember a delicious to-go Valentine's box during covid that was so thoughtful and delicious. We have enjoyed tasting every dish we've been able to try.
A couple of our favorites have been the smoked trout on ciabatta and the ricotta gnudi. The smoked trout is a hearty bite but somehow light at the same time haha. It's craveable. We like it as a starter or if we're still feeling hungry after a few other dishes. The ricotta gnudi however, is sooo rich and satisfying after a few bites, making it a very decadent and shareable plate. It's probably too much for only two people but we still eat all five pieces and only feel a little guilty after. I give 5 out of 5 stars for the food here.
With that being said, we recently went to try Antonia's winning dishes from ToC. We ordered both dishes and felt like they were probably better when Antonia made them haha. The sausage didn't have a great texture and both dishes needed salt but overall, they weren't bad and I'm happy we tried them.
I think they fall a little short in customer service and possibly staffing. We have had a couple of good interactions but on the norm, it seems like they are understaffed in areas. This is the reason I'm giving 4 stars vs 5. Well, that and because we'll often book a reservation online but when we show up, we have unfortunately been seated at the worst tables. It's usually the smallest table they have and in a very noisy location. Maybe we have had bad luck. Maybe it's because we're two small people without a dog, so they think we'll be happy crammed into the smallest spot they have?
This last visit, we were lead to an indoor table that was sandwiched between two large groups. On one side, the table was about an inch away from someone's back. On the other side, there was a group of about 12 girls having a bachelorette party and scream laughing. We just knew it would be hard to have a conversation there, so we asked about seating outside. They accommodated us by seating us at maybe the next worst table haha. It was just outside the front door but we knew it would be 100% better than where we were. We appreciate them moving us 🙏
I guess the point to that story is, be vocal on where you want to sit. Also, your chances of getting a good table seems to increase if you bring your dog haha, which is unfortunate.
Oh! And as far as parking goes, it's a little hard to find a spot but they offer valet. The area around the restaurant is super cute if you want to walk around a bit before or after your meal. I recommend checking out Color Me Mine just down the street for a nice date night.”

“I am extremely loyal to our local sushi restaurant gems all along Ventura blvd and have my staples saying that none compare to this most amazing sushi spot we've discovered and many have already known about and it is Sushi Tomoki! Wow! Paradise for sushi lovers and I must say from the moment you enter this most authentic of joints it takes your heart and you fall in love with the chefs, the ladies and gentleman serving you and guiding you along the way is next level. We absolutely have found our local spot for good. Magic!”

“Katsu-ya is my neighborhood sushi spot, and it is a good one. This is not the place you go when you want the best sushi of your life or a meal that is going to blow your mind. This is where you go when you want good, consistent sushi any day of the week.
It is the Toyota Avalon of sushi restaurants, on the upper end of reliable, and I go there constantly. They are always busy and have many celebrity clients, if that matters to you. Service is consistently great as well. If you want a table, it is best to make a reservation since they are often very busy.”

“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.”

Vegan • $$
“This predominantly vegan restaurant serves a good variety of delicious, fresh and healthy fare. I recommend the lentil loaf, colossal kale salad, flautas, and the orange cauliflower lo mein among others, and I hear the breakfast items (served all day) are excellent. Arlene is a fantastic server. In addition to the mostly vegan items, the eclectic menu also recently added some vegetarian but non-vegan entrees and even fish. This has drawn some unfair criticism. Please keep in mind that times are very difficult now for restaurants, and at least doubly so for vegetarian and vegan restaurants. If the inclusion of a few non-vegan items helps keep this gem of an eatery with a predominantly vegan/vegetarian menu afloat, then all the better for all of us.”

“5 stars isn’t enough for Daichan. The food was incredible and the service was phenomenal — everyone was so sweet and welcoming.
We loved the sake sampler since it was a great way to try multiple bottles. My wife’s Daimyo Chirashi was packed with an amazing variety of fresh fish and flavor, while my kalbi beef was perfectly cooked with the perfect sweet heat.
The garlic squid was easily our favorite dish, and the mochi with dorayaki was the perfect dessert combo to finish the meal.
100/10 experience — can’t wait to come back!”

“There are a lot of places in Los Angeles to get a good. If not great sandwich. What sets Paulie's apart has to be the friendliest counter service I ever consistently run into. I was in there with my son this weekend and the gentleman behind the counter was kind and joked and smiled and did all the things that you want to see to make somebody feel welcome in your establishment. And it's not the first time I've experienced this there and it's not always with the same person. The sandwiches are bomb. But the service puts it over the top every time.”

“I am latina and typically I prefer to eat authentic Mexican food at home but this place really does serve authentic Mexican food and happy to know if I'm craving an enchilada, taquitos or chilaquiles, I can hit this spot so close to work.
I've tried their Breakfast and lunch and everything has been delicious. Their breakfast egg, bacon and pancakes platter 10 out if 10. Their popular Enchiladas Ranchera, on point. Mole chicken enchiladas BOMBAY!! And I'm picky as hell when it comes to mole. Recently ordered a Chicken Caesar salad, as well as their seasoned potato wedges (they don't serve fries), big portions and so good. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable. Oh and almost forgot, in my last visit there was a complimentary chips and salsa mini bar. Friendly staff, fast service, good food, great prices. It is 1000% a hidden gem in Studio City.”

“Honestly, about the best gelato I’ve had outside of Italy. I’ve had gelato in Rome and Venice, Amsterdam in various other countries. Gelato in the United States has always pale in comparison but this place does it right. However, at $10 for a small you’re absolutely gonna pay for it and it boggles my mind how desensitize people have come to just opening their wallets.”

“Clean, consistent, and easily the best Shake Shack I’ve been to in LA. Fresh food, quick service, and reliable every time.
This Ventura Blvd location has been the most consistent Shake Shack experience for me. I’ve been to Downtown LA and West Hollywood and those can feel a little hit or miss, but this one always delivers. The ShackBurger was fresh and balanced. Crinkle-cut fries were hot and crispy, and the order came out quickly.
Parking can be a little chaotic during lunch, so keep an eye out so you don’t miss it. There is parking in the back on the opposite side of the street behind the restaurant. It does a lot of DoorDash and pickup traffic, but it never feels overwhelmingly busy inside. Space is clean, service is efficient, and overall quality control here feels stronger than other locations.
Pro tips:
• Watch carefully for parking during peak lunch hours
• Use the rear lot across the street if front spots are full
• This location feels fresher and more consistent than others in LA”

After the third-party member picked up the order and did not deliver for almost three hours, I requested a refund for the melted ice cream which I received promptly.

I never figured that they would actually honor it, but guess what they actually did. That's just old school business values. Incredible.”
Coffee Shops • $
“A very nice and cute Coffee Shop with a really good coffee. Just had a sand coffee and the taste was really good. The interior is very simple but yet comfy.
Nothing crazy fancy or pretending to be something luxury just to be able to overcharge for the coffee. That’s what I like about coffee shops.
It’s a new, cute business in LA that you can see is focused to provide good quality product.”
Hamburger • $$
“Their beef tallow fried French fries are so addictive! I literally keep coming back just for the fries. Lol Their smash burgers are fire!The service is friendly and they are always helpful and knowledgeable about beer suggestions. The graffiti art the entire building is done in makes it a great spot for influencers like me to post to my 750,000 followers! They love my posts from here bc there is always something cool to look at. Lol 😆 They are always playing some quality tunes on the sound system, so always good musical vibes.”
“Cool dicey bar feel with great drinks and fabulous bartenders! Loved it when it was Oyster Bar, and still loving it as Oy bar!!!”
