It's always a great time at Shakey's Pizza! I was doing some grocery shopping nearby and got very…read morehungry. Stopped by to grab a bite. Walked in and was greeted by one of their managers Jose V. He took my order and Steven brought out my order on timely manner. I ordered a large, thin crust ALL vegetarian pizza which came with: Green Pepper, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Black Olives, & Yellow Onion. I also got 4 pieces of their delicious fried chicken (all dark meat). Chicken was a bit greasy, but tasted good. Had to damp some of the oil before devouring all pieces! They also have mojo potatoes which I am really NOT a fan of. I also got a cup of vanilla ice cream, which was so cute and paid only a $1.00. Everything tasted delicious, fresh, lots of vegetables on the pizza and was sizzling HOT!! Place is spacious, and has 3 different dining rooms nicely partitioned for dining, parties, and holds up to 225 people. They do all types of parties from birthdays, promotions, retirements, holidays and everything else in between. They also have a buffet between the hours of 11am to 2pm. However, they do have a small section for salad bar, offer beer, all types of soda, lemonade & ice tea. Their Fun Zone is filled with so many arcade games & prizes where an adult can be a kid again. Restaurant was somewhat clean, including the bathroom. Tv's all around you, an arcade, celebrity photos on the walls from back in the days. Great, upbeat, friendly, helpful staff/employees! 80's music playing overhead. Team work makes a dream work! They all put in their part. Big parking lot shared with a Convalescent home. Thank you Shakes's, Jose V, and staff. Keep up the GOOD WORK!:-)

One of the best shawarmas I've had in Los Angeles. The meat is juicy, perfectly cooked, and full of…read moreflavor with just the right balance of spices. The wrap is fresh, well-made, and holds everything together nicely. Portions are generous, so you actually leave full. You can tell they care about quality and consistency -- every time I come here, it tastes just as good as the last. If you're looking for real, authentic shawarma and not some fast-food imitation, this place is a must-try. Highly recommended and I'll definitely be back

Tried shawarma at the Valley Village location (12122 Magnolia Blvd) and it was amazing. The portion…read moresize is HUGE -- they don't save on meat at all. Tons of juicy, perfectly seasoned meat, fresh veggies, warm pita, and flavorful sauces. Everything tasted fresh and filling. This is real shawarma, not some skimpy wrap. One of the best spots in LA if you're hungry and want quality. Highly recommend! Special thanks to the super friendly and welcoming staff -- Sagal and Igor. You guys are amazing!

The burgers are perfectly smashed, they're extremely accommodating and nothing has ever felt off. It's a really great small business that work even in a semi challenging location where there is a lot of car activity. You won't regret a meal here and the value is pretty great in comparison to other smash burger spots.

Worthy of a Michelin! Exceptional!…read more To say that this was one of the best experiences in thai food for a well traveled man like me, would not be an exaggeration! The duck curry is dense and intense with Japanese yam, a combination I've never seen before (order the curry medium spicey+). the chicken satay appetizer is double the size of what you're used to, & done to perfection. Shrimp pineapple fried rice made the perfect sweet and spicy dish. The pad se ew was done to perfection.... and we topped it all off with an Ube brulee (not exactly brulé'd but silky smooth experience all the same). Haven't taken such a long 2 hour nap on a Sunday afternoon in decades.

I finally made it, and well, no surprise, I am a fan. Parking Located on the corner of Magnolia and Whitsett Ave. There is plenty of street parking. But if your feeling a bit bold, there is a closed Rite Aid across the street that has a bunch of parking. Ambiance: For starters, this there is something about the decor, very classy yet casual somewhere you can have a quiet lunch and enjoy the day. I felt at home here and at ease. The staff were great on checking up on me every now and then and made sure I was well taken of. Food: There is a lot to talk about here. The name, for all accounts did not scream Thai Food, yet, I haven't had better Thai food and the area. I stopped in for lunch and they had a such a good Lunch selection and affordable ($20) that also includes a drink. I ordered the BBQ (due to macro restrictions) paired with a small salad and rice. Level with me, BBQ chicken is something I order really to test the waters and I can honestly say, one of the better BBQ chickens I have had. Though this review doesn't do Rustic Spoon much justice, I would highly recommend swinging by. I will, I would love to try some more traditional flavors such as the different curries and soups. Looking forward to the follow up!

Harvest Moon is like a number of places that have popped up across the Valley in the last several…read moreyears: bakery items and fresh-made salads, quiches and other such things on display, with a menu of cooked foods available. Order and pay at the counter, bring your number to a table and wait for a runner to bring your food. The interior is clean, spare and roomy, but with the cold-ish feel of a market that's had tables added rather than a true "restaurant." Chains like Joan's On 3rd or Le Pain Quotidien are the models, repeated by privately owned places like Claudine in Encino or Pascal in Canoga Park (probably the best of the lot). They're all convenient, family-friendly, good for groups, and often disappointing. We dropped in for Sunday breakfast and were greeted by a gregarious guy at the counter who felt the need to call me "buddy," despite the fact that I'm neither a feisty terrier or a 4-year old holding a toy dinosaur. We placed our order and found a table, and our drinks were quickly brought to us. My wife set about fixing her coffee the way she likes it (using wood stirrers because no spoon was brought), and I had to go back to the counter to request napkins. Did I mention that the pay portal at the counter suggested a 20% or 25% tip despite the fact that we were going to get very little service? Anyhoo... My wife ordered the Cheese Quiche, which is an individual pie rather than a slice, and tasted quite good: cheesey and eggy, with a flaky crust ringing the entire pie. It is served by itself, but would benefit from a side salad with a vinaigrette to cut the richness -- and that plating would be more visually appealing as well. I ordered the Breakfast Sammie (cute name; just perfect for a Buddy). This was a Swiss Cheese Omelet on a griddled Croissant with their signature Sweet & Spicy Bacon plus a Tomato Jam that I chose to delete. The sandwich was generously portioned, and looked quite good, though the texture of the croissant screamed "commercial bakery delivery" rather than anything made in-house. The eggs were fresh and properly prepared, the Swiss had a good bite, and the bacon was appealingly sweet (I didn't detect any real spice). A small side of hash browns were nicely crisped and had good flavor. Overall, the sandwich was fine, but I would have enjoyed it more on a better quality croissant or almost any other house-baked bread. And so, this was a completely serviceable breakfast, but nothing to write home about or race back to. I'd rather head to Pascal, where they have a much larger menu, and the baked goods are truly excellent.
