Poor customer service. I walked in to pick up an online order and she gave me the worst attitude.. she told me I need to sit down pointing to the chair with an aggressive attitude. Never been here.. but I know I won't be back even if it is good

Attached to our delivery order!!!

Fantastic food and too good for me to remember to take a picture. It's such a gem and it's highly underrated. The service is always very sweet when I've called but I've mainly ordered the food to be delivered. I also loved the time they spent ti include the heartfelt note they attached to our order. Definitely going to be a repeat place for us.

One of the best Thai food spots I've tried. Great portions and friendly service! I always come here when I am craving pepper chicken, egg roll or drunken noodles. They have various of options. I do vegetarian diet once a week and they make good vegetarian dishes. Their orange chicken is also delicious, the sauce is so good. After dining in, I always ordered Togo for later. Highly recommend

Pad Thai lunch
Edwin M.

I'm the only one in my family that likes Thai food. I finally had a lunch when I was on my own and could indulge. I drove out of my way to come here with great expectations. The dining area looked haphazard and thrown together, but I've been to plenty of mom & pop places like that that served great food. I waited for a bit to finally be greeted by the "mom" part of the equation when she came out from the kitchen and whose shrug invited me to pick my table. Still ok. I ordered Thai Iced Tea and Pad Thai with shrimp for which there was a dollar up charge. I was nicely warned that the tea was sweet and made with milk in case I was allergic. There was a lot of attention paid to the salad that was pleasing to the eyes and palate. The dressing was light and the salad dressed well. Then the Pad Thai came out as a pile of congealed noodles and 3 shrimp. The shrimp tasted fine, but the noodles had no taste. I was really hoping for Thai flavors, but left still wanting Thai food.

The food is simply amazing, and the service is quick! It's a small dine-in place, but I noticed that many have been ordering and picking up their food! Either way, it is worth it! I would love to come back again to try others. This place is highly recommended! Customer Service is excellent, and the restroom is clean.

I had a large catering order from this restaurant because I knew the food was excellent. Alex, the manager went above and beyond to help me with my orders. Her kitchen staff made my catering party experience memorable! The food was delicious and the presentation was superb! Thank You so much Alex and team for making my party memorable! I appreciate your hard work! I will definitely visit you again soon!!!

Our friend ordered and we picked it up. It took just one 30 minutes to be ready. We paid $2 for peanut sauce and it was a tiny little container. They have really raised their prices, and it was just ok. The Tom Kha soup was tasty, but lacking in any substance. Mostly broth. The yellow curry was really very good but very runny. The mango sticky rice was good but for 12.00 was way too expensive. Probably won't go back

Very slow to get food. I called in the order to the store and they told me 20 minutes, when I got to the store, the lady had me pay and then began to make my order. Took another 25 minutes. I was try to be considerate of their UberEats fees so I called it in. Terrible service and the food isn't all that great.

Feast ordered to go.

A really quaint, cash only, country diner in Shadow Hills. Basically north west of DTLA up in the…read morevalley. Inside is fairly large with many different size tables so they can host many different sized groups. One thing I love about these sort of places is the service and this spot did not disappoint. Our waitress was extremely polite and everything that we ordered came out super fast. There is a small free parking lot attached in front otherwise free street parking is also easy to find. I love how eclectic it is on the inside, every inch of the wall is covered in a collage of American memorabilia and various different things from various different places. It's really fun to glance at all of it while you're waiting for your food. As you would expect the menu is very large and filled with all sorts of diner classics. For this breakfast, I chose the Chili Cheese Omelette and really enjoyed it. It was a large sized portion and had some great flavor to it. The coffee is also really strong and I was a big fan of that as well. I would definitely recommend if you are in the area and make sure to bring cash.

If you're brown, do not visit this restaurant!! My family…read moreand I walked in and noticed it was cash only. While we were discussing whether to go to an ATM, I noticed the waitress looking at us with what seemed like disgust. She told us there was an ATM and that we could sit anywhere, but she was not welcoming or friendly at all. We felt uncomfortable and decided to leave. As we walked out, I said, "Thank you, but we're heading out." She suddenly smiled and cheerfully said, "Okay, bye!" Her attitude was completely different, which made the experience even more uncomfortable. We left feeling unwelcome and questioning whether we were treated that way because of our skin color. I'm glad we left, and I would not recommend this place.

When he got home and we opened the food, there were chunks of onions in the seafood linguine and scallions (which are onions) all over the cheesy garlic bread, which something I've never even seen on their garlic bread before, or any kind of garlic bread. On top of that, there was a hair in my husband's food! We called and spoke with Leslie, the alleged manager, and instead of apologizing, she argued that "the kitchen doesn't carry onions" and that "our chefs don't have hair," which honestly made the situation even more ridiculous. Meanwhile, we were sitting there hungry, irritated, and unable to eat the food we paid for. Her solution was basically "you can order something else", which after this experience, we absolutely would never do. She also said my husband would get a refund, but there was still no real apology or accountability, just excuses and defensiveness. Honestly, just really disappointed. If the kitchen was overwhelmed or overbooked, they could have simply said so. We would have respected the honesty far more than careless food prep and zero concern for an allergy issue.

However that meatloaf is a standout and what's truly amazing is that it taste the same every time I go which is an incredible feat! As for the staff and service once again it was impeccable! Shout out to the manager Daniel and Gary my server for another great experience at Nick's. As far as the ambiance goes it is also a great experience no matter where you sit. Me personally like to sit in view of the cooks to watch them work their magic. Thanks again Nick's for another fantastic visit!

A solid all round semi-classy modern American diner style spot. Very solid food and ambiance. Servers are always great and attentive. Baby back ribs, 8.7/10: Sweet tangy glaze on the ribs. Usually a very tender and great cook on the slab. Couple times when the ribs were overcooked and dry especially on the top/ends. So some improvements could be made for consistency. Burger: 8.9/10: almost a perfect thick cut diner style burger with all the toppings. Juicy and fatty patty. Everything you're probably looking for.
