Service there is no music inside the restaurant,and there are no waiters in the hall of this restaurant!

Located in a small strip mall, this Armenian/Russian restaurant is a great little spot to enjoy some delicious food. The area is not so great, but the food certainly makes up for it. We ordered ghinkhali, beef and chicken lule kabob, lamb chops and chicken breast kabob as the meats and fries, eggplant salad, and cucumber yogurt salad as side dishes. I would rate each one of those a 5 out of 5 except the lamb chops, which seemed to be a little dry and gave them a 3 out of 5. Service is great! The server comes around every few minutes to clean up the table, change plates, clean up dirty napkins, provide refills and so on. It's not a big restaurant. It's about as big as your average mini mart store. It can seat probably about 20 to 25 people max. There is no dance floor and no music. They do however, have a TV and take out as well. Their prices are very affordable. We ended up paying $40 / per person and we were stuffed. You can bring your own alcohol and there is no cork fee (Yay!). Overall, I think they nailed it with the focus on good food. read more

They have only one menu on the wall which says Beef Lula $10,99. After I placed my order I was told $16,99. When I asked why it's $16,99 I was told it is old menu on the wall. When I asked where I can find new menu, I was told they don't have it. "Nice" business and actually it is a violation of consumer laws. read more

This place is sucks!!! I called to make an order for delivery. The person starts talking with attitude like you know what, we are very busy. I asked her how about other times? She -you just came to america? Don't you know that you have to tel us what time you wand and i will see we can make it or not! If this is a customer service then i am a champion in figure skating :) read more

We absolutely love the Armenia & Mediterranean Marinates The BBQ is awesome ! My family's been coming here for the longest time the only thing I don't like about this restaurant is the prices and you ask why because it fluctuates... I've been ordering the same menu item but every time it's a different price if the ownership can read this message have a menu in place where customers can be confident that they're not getting overcharged... read more

I just had food delivered to me by my girls to eat some "amazing food" this was by far the worst Armenian food I have tasted. From the fries to the meat and everything in between. I'm not sure what the hype is all about but being Armenian I have had better read more

Thank goodness I live so close! Hands down, one of the best Armenian kebab places in the valley! Fresh, flavorful and absolutely delicious! Service is always great and orders are ready fast! read more

I have a love and hate relationship with this place. Love the xinkali there (mainly the only thing I order) but hate the inconsistency of both the service and availability of it. There's no rhyme or reason as to why it's available on some days/nights and not on other nights. If it's one of ur most popular items on the menu wouldn't you care to supply the demand? It's a very bad approach for business to not have something that's on ur menu available ALL the time. They also need a lot of help in the customer service department.. read more

If only I'd seen all the reviews about the rude customer service -- I totally agree with everything that's been written. I was lucky to get seated and then completely ignored throughout my entire meal. I barely got her attention early on to ask for water, and got a water bottle that I soon learned added $1 to my bill (I'd only wanted tap). And then I couldn't pay with my company card since they only accept cash or ATM. The food was bland (compared to other nearby Armenian places) and the salt shakers were empty. Oh, and I was excited to see that they had khinkali on the menu (I've been to Georgia), but she was rude in the way that she told me they were out. The décor makes the place look nicer than it truly is (I much prefer the Golden Fork Restaurant in Glendale). read more

The family and I wanted to try someplace new tonight so we remembered seeing GoldenFork near our home. We walked in and didn't expect much but we were blown away. The dining area was really nice but the food was amazing! We had the beef and chicken lula kabob plates! The meat was juicy and tender and the rice was amazing. Just be careful with the grilled jalapeño they give you. They are really spicy! Overall it was great and inexpensive will definitely add this place to our dine in/ take out list! read more

This place just changed the owner a few month ago... I always ordered from this place since I moved to North Hollywood. Never had problems. Ordered pork barbecue today. When brought it home saw bones only((((. This place charge per pound(((. Guess how much meat portion was there(((. I posted picture. read more

Golden Fork - This is 3 pounds of pork barbecue I ordered. Do you see meat here? They charge per pound(((( - Armenian Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Worst, worst customer service ever. They never own up to their errors and when you call them they hang up on you and don't even try to call back they don't pick up. They are over priced and food isn't that good either. Think twice before you order or eat there. With that attitude they probably spit in your food. read more

The beginning i want to start from their great customer service. I love this place. I always order food from here and i am satisfied so much. They have good food and all are delicious. I recommend everyone come to this place to try Armenian food. I am going to give them best 5 feedback. Thanks again read more

Thank you for delicious food it was fresh and juicy as always my family loves this place specially their friendly service this people are funny and welcoming:-) thanks again!! read more

The best Mediterranean restaurant in town. The meats are affordable and extremely savory. It is the best place to order for big events and your food is ready on time, as promised. Customer service is amazing. They now have mutli-lingual staffs all the time. I have recommended Golden Fork to so many of our friends and business colleagues, and will continue to spread the word. read more

Golden Fork - Holidays are always special thanks Golden Fork - Armenian Near Me - Van Nuys, California

My family hardly ever orders take out when we have celebrations, but this year we decided to play it easy on ourselves and order food instead of making it. We ordered several things: Trays of Kabob, lamb, and grilled potatoes, as well as a variety of salads. The chicken kabob was subpar (not spectacular or even good), and everything else was horrible, and I mean HORRIBLE. The potato was undercooked, the salads did no justice for traditional Mediterranean cuisine, and worst of all some of the meats had a questionable odor. I will never buy from this place, again. The food ruined my brother's birthday party. However, even though the food was horrid, their customer service was good. read more

After my last review the owner reached out to me and explained.. I was convinced that they care about their customers and try very hard to please everyone.. My updated 5 star review comes from last experience with gold fork.. the owner recognized me and treat me like a royalty.. but that's secondary compare to how delicious the food is.. the aroma of their BBQ quickly reminds you of Armenia.. their food is unmatched and it will excite your taste buds.. Thank you golden fork team for awesome experience and amazing food!!!! read more

I had recently written a very bad review for this restaurant. I got into it with the owner over the phone when I attempted to place an order. Then words were exchanged here on Yelp, and it really was out of character. The owner reached out to me and we hashed things out. And so I deleted my previous review and decided to write this one, I appreciated her reaching out and trying to make it right, because their food is actually really good which is what always had us going back. Best of luck! read more

The food here is great it's just that unless you are Armenian the people in here treat you like garbage 3 times they have said oh we have a large party to cater to in the dining room and you only see less than 15 people in there. My wife called in once and they asked that she call back an hour later. These people are obviously dicks to those that are not Armenian read more

Food is good. But the service is the worst. They are lazy don't want to come out from the kitchen I wish they service will be better soon. Other wise they should hire couple of more employees. I'm giving 1 start to the service and 5 start to food now it's been 45 min waiting for kabob plate. read more

This place will not attend you if you are not Armenian. I went once and they see you as if you were going to steal. The second time they said they could not help us. They humiliate you and your service is disgusting. read more

Not sure off the food yet but for YRS I have smelled that good bbq . They cook outside and it smells Devine. I am sure the nunn signage means Armenians only but I will still be willing to try take out read more

See all

Every person there are really shitty. That restaurant has the worst customer service ever. They charged us a lot just for a little bit of hummus and they started to yell at us like crazy people. I WOULD NEVER GO BACK THERE! THE FOOD IS DISGUSTING, IT DOES NOT EVEN TASTE LIKE MEDITERRANEAN FOOD. read more

Wow. Super authentic. Super friendly. Really cheap. Will be back - hopefully soon. For a drink I tried the Armenian green sodas and they weren't my style - super sweet and very different. But everything else was perfect! read more

During this COVID time it's important to support small businesses, but this place completely takes it for granted. We made a $200 to go order for my husbands employees and instead of being grateful and showing some good customer service, knowing that we are all struggling business wise during this time, the lady was EXTREMELY rude to my husband when we picked up our order. It doesn't matter how good your food is, CUSTOMER SERVICE is as important. We just paid $200 for HORRIBLE service! Don't waist your well earned money on a place that will not value you as a customer, there is other places with delicious food and good service that you can choose from instead of this place. read more

Very good quality, and certain kebabs the best. The workers there dont know much english, and give acceptable service. Im sure if you speak armenian, its different. Heck the sign outside is not in English. Its in Armenian and Cyrillic . You pretty much have to order the number of the dish and not ask for anything special. They dont have good selection of sauces. No garlic sauce :( The sit down area seems to always be taken up by armenian folks who like to smoke :( Their windows dont even open. Its like a "sealed" room separate from kitchen/order area. Also recommend bringing cash. They do atm, but at 5 dollar increments. They will supply the difference in cash. Its really better suited for take-out, and looks to be a great place to do a large catering order. Again for all its "quirks" its highly recommended. Just find a place to sit down and eat ASAP. read more

We had ordered Catering from here a while ago and everything was cocked perfectly and delicious I recently checked about ordering for another even and their prices are still great you get a whole lot of delicious food for a great price! Will be back soon! read more

Extremely rude and always late with deliveries. Just like today - late by an hour, we called to inquire and were told that we are not the only ones they make food for. Never again will I spend any money at this place. There are many other kabob places with much friendlier and faster service. read more

Ordered some food .Wend to pick up.People are picking up there food with no mask.They don't say a think to them.No social distance.No line to pick up food .You can just push anyone a side and pick up yours like one stupid girl just did and they should say something like this guy (me) came first.Food was vary cold and they raised prices to cheapest lula is $10 only meat with nothing on side. read more

I called to place an order and the lady that answered the phone was extremely rude. She said she will call me back but she didn't. I called back after 45 mins and she was still with an attitude. I cancelled the order and told them that with their honorable customer service they will loose a lot of customers. Hope the owner reads the reviews and does something to improve the service. With her attitude they don't even deserve 1 star. read more

We enter this place of business....restaurant, out of the probably 5 people standing....no one said a word..was like waking into a funeral home, after some of my Armenian clients recommend this place so much, was a deceiving experience. I called several numbers to complain about this horrendous costumer service but no manager or owner was ever available.......about Armenian food is great I've been enjoying it for 25 years of my life....at house of shiskebab on whitset and Vanowen read more

The best Armenian food in North Hollywood Also they have a second location in Glendale, We always go there with friends love their lamb chops !! If you really want to have a good Armenian BBQ then this is the right place to go! read more

I love this place. The food is delicious.. They had the best customer service .. I mad my order yesterday the girl helped me a lot , she is so sweet and friendly. I will come back soon read more

We ate there twice the first time was really good the 2nd time we ordered to go, They gave us really old rice and when we took it back they spoke in there language and laughed at us. I love my Armenian people but that wasn't koo. They new they gave us old rice they didn't think we would notice because we are Hispanic. read more

Not the greatest customer service by any means, BUT possibly THE GREATEST food ever. Beef lula kebab is by far my favorite. If your you tell them, they will have your order ready in a huge bread, with the center cut out and all of your food in it. That bread itself is amazing too. I do recommend this place because how good their food is, but unfortunately you should not expect a high standard of service read more

I love this place. Will only order Armenian food from here. Food is always fresh and tasted great every time. If you want authentic Armenian bbq this is the place to go. If u are going to order for pick up just know it might take a while because they make everything from scratch read more

I was really looking forward to finally checking out this place, as many of my friends told me that the food is fantastic. When we go there, we had to enter it from the kitchen area, even though they have a full on seating area that's well furnished. We started our order with 2 appetizers (baked potatoes - pletsh) and mushrooms & hummus. Also we added an order of sturgeon plate and filet mignon. When we told them we wanted to eat in, they were surprised and immediately informed us that they were closing at 9pm, like they didn't even want us to go in. It was 7pm and we only wanted it dinner. We were told to sit anywhere we want, so we did. After the first 5 mins, the lavash and hummus were brought in. The other 2 appetizers were missing. The appetizers ended up coming as part of the main dish, and all the extra stuff such as rice, French fries, were completely forgotten about. We didn't make a fuss about it. Besides from bringing us the food, not once did anyone come to check up on us to see how our food was. I have to admit, the only reason I'm giving this place a 3 star is because the food was fantastic. They did a really good job making it. However, I'm all about service, and that was all together absent. The only thing we could hear is people screaming and laughing in the kitchen with a loud music. About 10 minutes before we left, they finally decided that it would be appropriate to play music in the dinning area. I left feeling extremely disappointed. This place has such a great potential, a great space, and a nice ambiance. As a fellow Armenian, I really wanted this place to be amazing so I can bring my foreign friends to introduce them to Armenian Cuisine. Until the service is fixed, I will only order to-go. Note for the owner* - please fix the service and hire welcoming and caring staff who strive to provide the best customer service. I really want this place to be successful. read more

This place is one of my fav. The food is amazing and affordable. I'm a regular and I most definitely recommend the kencali.

I hardly write reviews but this one called for it. Horrible service. Got there at 8 pm. The rude waitress and another guy part of the family mafia was sure to remind us multiple times that they close at 9. It was five of us so I thought that was good business for them, but... The atmosphere was so cold and unwelcoming we felt very uncomfortable the whole time. I ordered borscht which was on the menu and should be a staple item, the waitress looked at me like I ordered a Beijing duck. She said "borscht?!? NO borscht!" The food was below average, ok but nothing special, but the pork was raw. They didn't take my credit card and charged me $1.50 service fee for using my debit card!! I wouldn't ever go back. Improve your attitude people! read more
