The place was pretty nice compared to the rest of the shopping stores around it. It had its own vibe and taste to it, simply awesome! That's how a burger place should look and feel like. Like you're in the old days especially their iconic artwork on the wall really blew me away!!!! But I normally don't eat smash burgers, because of the past dissatisfactions, but this place has won me over in the quality that they possess, the SAUCE, 10/10 & it's not only that the special was a great deal, but it was the best burger I've ever had, so were the fries - very crispy in the outside and medium in the middle like gold. It's like you just couldn't resist and now I'm hooked. Thanks to smashing bite! for the outstanding service, 11/10 food and your worker was the most generous and professional I've ever seen operating a restaurant!! :D

This place is GREAT. The smash burger patty has an almost perfect amount of crisp. The bun and…read moretoppings were good with a high quality cheese. The pickles and onions were very good. The fries with the Cajun seasoning were the best fries I have had from any smash burger place. Period. Solid crunch on every single one. Their smash sauce was very close to Big Mac sauce, so if you love the Big Mac, you're going to trip out over this place. They are open LATE! That is my favorite thing about them. Probably one of the latest smash burgers you can get AND they are a top five contender. I will definitely go back some time. Ambiance is cool. Strip mall. Nice guy working there. They give you your food and let you eat in peace.

We ordered the Combo Plate - which is comprised with Brisket, Sausage, Chicken, and Ribs. And 2 sides. The food was okay. I have tried better ones. The ribs were tough and not falling off the bones. The sides we got were Mac & Cheese and Potato Salad. They were both okay as well. My SO and I are planning to comeback for the sausages. It was the meat the we liked most from the combo plate that we ordered. It is self service. No free tap water. They charge $1 for card payments. The place was empty when we came. It was pretty hot that day and no fan, so we sat down near the door to feel some airflow coming from outside. *ATM machine available inside.

Their 100% naturally leavened bagels come in a a variety of flavors as do their spreads. I was really impressed by the amazing flow this dynamic duo brings with their kindness, quality and service including the demure mindful cutesiness of options, including a lot of vegan friendly ones. They use Kite Hill non-dairy cream cheese for their dairy free folks, which I'd had in the past, but not being a natural cream cheese person growing up I don't typically gravitate to, but might reconsider or at least anytime I find myself enjoying the bread goodness of The Sourdough Daddy. Typically they have up to three or so pop up's each month which are listed on their website as well as their Instagram. Being a small pop and pop shop with the magic of the awesome owner partner husbands, you can definitely see and appreciate the tlc they put into this growing shop on the go. Their black garlic bagel with vegan CC is a ten! With full loafs and bagels by the dozen also available as well. From a variety of breakfast style bagels to microgreens and classic style with a twist you'll definitely enjoy these daddy delights.

They're located in a plaza with lots of parking, especially because it was around 9PM. The line moved quickly and my order came out in a reasonable amount of time. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Unlike other places, I wasn't given attitude when I asked how long the wait was so I appreciated that a lot. I will definitely return, the location, parking, time efficiently, and most definitely their prices were convenient!

I'm so happy I decided to visit yasu guys, I had the most amazing experience!…read more If you love Greek flavors but also appreciate a modern, creative spin on classic dishes, this place absolutely delivers in all aspects! I ordered their Chicken Crunch Wrap, which is their take on a Greek gyro but reimagined in a way that feels fresh and fun. Think traditional gyro flavors like seasoned chicken, creamy sauces, crisp veggies, but wrapped up in a perfectly toasted, golden, handheld format that gives you that satisfying crunch in every bite. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, not dry at all. The balance of textures is what really got me. The tender meat, cool and creamy elements, and that crisp outer layer that ties everything together. It's comforting but also feels elevated at the same time. What I loved most is that it didn't feel greasy or heavy. Sometimes wraps like this can feel overwhelming, but this was flavorful without being too much. Every bite had that herby, savory Greek profile, but with a modern street-food twist that makes it super craveable. And the baklava cheesecake! I'm not exaggerating when I say this might be one of the best cheesecakes I've had in a long time. It's such a genius concept that combines the rich, creamy texture of cheesecake with the sweet, nutty, honeyed layers of baklava. The cheesecake itself was smooth and decadent, not overly sweet, and the baklava elements added that perfect crunch and warmth from the spices and nuts. The service was beyond great, seriously feels like I stepped into a place where they treat everyone like family. Super hospitable and welcoming. There were some regulars there when I visited and they talk amongst themselves like if they're family as well. I loved the vibes here! Overall, Yasu Guys really impressed me. It feels like a spot that understands traditional flavors but isn't afraid to experiment and modernize them. The food is well-executed, and genuinely exciting. If you're into Greek food but want something a little different from the usual gyro plate, this is your place. Already planning my next visit! Thank you for having me.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this one was bad enough to say something. Both my order and my…read moregirlfriend's order were completely wrong--like not even close. It's frustrating to spend money and end up with food you didn't even ask for. And then there's the sauce... I don't know what's in it, but it's so ridiculously spicy it feels like it could double as a fire starter. Completely overpowers everything and makes the food almost inedible. Between the messed-up orders and the over-the-top heat, this was a pretty disappointing experience. Definitely not rushing back anytime soon. UPDATE: (in response to owner since I cannot respond) No one put me up to this, it's an honest review. I ordered through Uber Eats so fixing the order wasn't an option. The fire starter is the Chipotle Aioli you seem to put on all your dishes (at least the items on my order.) this was not requested but is an ingredient included. Instead of a having a helpful response I get a very sarcastic tone from you. Was hoping for an overall better experience.

It has been well over 3 years ago that we have had Smokey Cow. It was located on Sherman Way in Van…read moreNuys before they took a long hiatus. We were thrilled when we saw Smokey Cow resumed business and we were lucky enough to get some scrumptious BBQ before heading back to NorCal. Our favorite was the Beef Rib. This trip our favorite was the Brisket. My son said it ranks up there with Franklin's and Jack Black's in Texas, home of some of the best BBQ in the nation. The Brisket had an excellent smoke ring, nice seasoning and most of all it was super tender. Just outstanding, hard to get this good of brisket. The Beef Rib and Pork Ribs were pretty good but probably left on the grill just a tinge longer so it wasn't quite as moist as the last time I had Smokey Cow. I also had the homemade Mac and Cheese, pickles, chips and cole slaw. They make everything including the sauce except for the chips. Brisket 5+ Beef Ribs 4.25 Pork Ribs 4.25 Mac and Cheese 4.0 Sauces and sides 4.5 Great guys 5.0 Overall, excellent BBQ, nice guys and priced normally for BBQ faire. On my next trip to SoCal, I will be stopping by to get excellent BBQ and great service. If you haven't been there before, look for the alley entrance that goes behind the houses where the garages are and look for the lighted entrance. Go early, you don't want to miss out on some of the best BBQ in the area. Smokey Cow is my #1 BBQ, Swinging Door #2 and Bludso's #3.
