    Breakfast burrito w/ avocado
    Dennis C.

    I have been on a quest to find the best breakfast burrito in Simi and even a little part of Moorpark. I have finally landed at the top spot! This breakfast burrito absolutely set itself apart from the others, and I didn't even get meat (avocado sub). The tortilla was good and kept its shape, the egg was tasty, the sauce was amazing, and the crunchy tater tots inside took it up another level. We got a winner.

    Breakfast Burrito.

    This is a great spot to visit to grab a bite. They have a great variety of things you can choose from and you can't go wrong with any of it. The service is fast and pleasant anytime I stop by. Its a small location but its nice and clean. This time I went for the Breakfast burrito and its always good. It has plenty of egg, tots on the inside to add a crunch, and the fly sauce to add a creamy flavor to every bite. The burrito is a decent size and you will surely want to return for more. The green salsa is also delicious and adds a slightly acidic flavor to balance it all out. I will be back.

    Lomo Saltado Steak & Egg Burrito

    We were driving 2 hours to go to a museum and stopped here to grab some breakfast first. I am SO glad we stopped at this small location as their food and service was PHENOMENAL! The Lomo Saltado Steak & Egg burrito was very filling and flavorful! The marinade on the meat made it very juicy and tender. We added the salsa on the burrito as well for extra flavoring. Had I known there was tots inside the burrito as well, we might have not needed to order (2) sides, but dripping a hot, crispy tot in their famous FLY sauce was SO GOOD. Fly sauce is a mayo/ketchup based dipping sauce that just adds that additional layer of flavor in every bite. The Maple Oat Latte was sweetened by 100% pure maple syrup and was delicious! Not too sweet and not too bitter. Perfect ratio of oat milk to cold brew. The Strawberry Dragon Fruit drink was sweet, but also had a refreshing taste, especially during a warm mid-morning in the Valley! Lastly, the Maple Fried Egg Sandwich tasted like a gourmet, elevated, WAY BETTER McGriddle! The bacon was crispy and coated in maple syrup which soaked into the bottom bun, making it the perfect salty/sweet taste in every bite! The egg was the perfect consistency of runny and the soft brioche bun was a lovely touch. The pricing is reasonable, we paid about $54 for (2) people, but the portions were huge, the food was filling, fresh, and delicious! I wish the Flying Yolk could come make its way down to Norwalk, CA! This might be worth the 2 hour drive again.

    Had the fun of visiting with a friend and trying out some delicious food. I had the jalapeño burrito and man it did NOT dissatisfy my tastebuds in the least. Very Spicey and I substituted the basin for avocado glad I did as it helped lower the heat. My friend ordered the tot scramble bowl and it too was amazing looking she clearly loved it as she finished the whole bowl. We will def be back to try more. The restaurant itself needs a little more attention to cleanliness and upkeep but it is in an older building. The service and the staff were very friendly, kind, and very fast during peek rush. We waited only 10-15 months.

    Steak & Eggs Burrito.
    Darian H.

    I really enjoy eating here! It's such a cool place and the food is just so good! I brought my boyfriend here the other weekend. We both got some breakfast burritos. I got the steak and egg burrito and he got the jalapeño and cream cheese burrito, they were absolutely delicious! They are pretty decent sized burritos, so they are very filling! It definitely is pretty pricey to eat here, but the food is definitely worth every penny! And the salsa they have is a great bonus!

    I visited The Flying Yolk to get a quick bite before my errands but I stumbled upon a secret dining treasure in Simi Valley. The hamburger meat stands as the main attraction during morning hours. The first bite of my meal required me to stop and understand what I was experiencing because the meat delivered both tenderness and juiciness with expert flavor seasoning. The egg and bun formed a perfect union which functioned as a tasty duo. The iced coffee arrived as my next drink. A refreshing experience because of its smooth texture and cold temperature which added a personal distinct element. The drink gave me a powerful energy boost which motivated me to DECLARE my readiness for taking on today's challenges. The atmosphere creates a peaceful environment which lets people finish their essential work without experiencing stress. 10/10 would go back

    Breakfast bowl with turkey, sausage, and tater tots.

    My husband and I stopped here because it was convenient. He ordered a breakfast burrito and I ordered the breakfast bowl with eggs and substituted for turkey sausage. The food was very basic/plain. I don't think it's worth the money. It's not bad but it's just nothing special. Although, I did appreciate that the tater tots were not greasy at all. They were actually really good. Also, The employees were really nice and the restaurant was clean. Will I go to this restaurant again? Probably not. But I didn't try the burgers and they looked really yummy.

    Flying Patty Melt is SO delicious!  I added more of their signature sauce and it's amazing
    Michele O.

    Absolutely delicious! We saw a kiosk and missed the cashier when we walked in. I wish I saw the cashier, therefore I probably wouldn't have taken as much time ordering since it was our first time there. I'm sure she/he could have recommended some first time favorites. We ordered the Flying Patty Melt (omg, my new favorite breakfast sandwich), The Cali Fried (tasty!), the Strawberry Nutella Croissant (a dessert sandwich:) and a side of an egg scramble with cheese dish (forgot the formal name)...We loved it! The place was clean, the timing to get our food wasn't too long, and it was busy. There is outdoor seating. The employees there were very nice. Definitely will return to try their other dishes, and their cold brew!!!

    This is an amazing breakfast place.It's only open till three o'clock, so go early.The ambiance is good.The employees serve you with a smile and the food is delicious.There's plenty of parking and plenty of indoor seating

    Lomo Saltado Bowl
    Megan G.

    The Flying Yolk is a solid spot for breakfast sandwiches and burritos, and it definitely delivers on flavor! I've visited a couple of times, and while I enjoyed the food overall, there are a few things worth noting. I got the Flying Fried, and it was delicious! The soft brioche bun paired perfectly with the crispy tots, making for a great contrast in texture. I was also ecstatic to find the Lomo Saltado steak bowl on the breakfast menu--it was smoky, soy-heavy, and packed with umami. It's not often you get to enjoy such a flavorful bowl first thing in the morning, and I absolutely loved it. That said, my only gripe is with the pricing. For example, the difference between the Flying Fried and the Cali Fried is literally just a slice of tomato and avocado, but it comes with a $4 upcharge. Their steak & eggs burrito is $21, which feels exorbitant - especially when "LA's most expensive burrito" is $18 and justifies its price with grass-fed beef and organic eggs. The food here is solid, and I love supporting local businesses, but the prices feel a bit unreasonable for what you're getting. The service is friendly and quick, and the casual vibe makes it a nice spot to grab breakfast or brunch. If you're okay with the prices, it's worth a try!

    Huckleberry waffles
    Mollee K.

    A friend recommended this spot for a quick, delicious, and local breakfast. This place exceeded my expectations. The croissant-dough waffle was incredibly flavorful and flakey. The huckleberry cream dipping sauce had a nice fresh taste and a good portion size compared to the waffles. The flying fried was the perfect balance between soft (bun) and crunchy (tater tot's and bacon). Additionally, the fly sauce was a great touch of flavor. In terms of the atmosphere, I appreciated that you had the option of ordering on an IPad or in person. All the staff were super friendly. The dining room was a little small, so I would recommend ordering to-go. Overall, I wish the flying yolk had Arizona locations and will be back the next time I'm in Simi Valley!!

    Avocado egg sandwich
    Linda p.

    Solid spot for a quick, satisfying breakfast. The Flying Yolk delivers on flavor with stacked breakfast sandwiches that are both filling and made fresh to order. I had the classic bacon, egg, and cheese--crispy bacon, soft scrambled eggs, melted cheddar, and a toasted brioche bun that actually holds up. Everything tasted like it was made with care. The tots were golden and crispy, not greasy at all, and make a great side. Staff was friendly and kept things moving even during the morning rush. Tip for first timers: Try the Yolk Smash or Breakfast Burritozilla if you're hungry. And ask for the Flying Sauce--it's legit and goes well on everything. Great for takeout or a casual bite before starting the day.

    My friends and I came here for dinner the other night and I was absolutely blown away by this spot…read more Visually, it's a stunning place and they've done a fabulous job with the aesthetic as it's the kind of place that feels like a party. Neon lights, cute signage, and overall they just did a really great job with the design and execution. There's a lot going on but it doesn't feel cheap. Ambiance is definitely A+. For dinner on a weeknight we found this spot wasn't too busy but we also came after happy hour. It was a relaxed vibe. Service was overall pretty good. I felt like all of the gals working were very very sweet and nice. Also, anytime we stopped them to ask for refills and such we got what we asked for. That's my only upgrade as since it wasn't super busy, it would have been nice for the staff to catch the refills on water or salsa on their own/more proactively but hey, it was again a relaxed lowkey night and the staff couldn't have been lovelier. I'm just curious how the service would be if they were super busy? Now on to the food and drinks. The menu was very impressive! Solid cocktail and drinks menu. I'm bummed I didn't get a cocktail but my party doesn't drink so it was more fun to get an agua Fresca with them. The guava one was good and served nicely chilled. However, next time I'll definitely get a cocktail because their drinks looked fun and beautiful. The food was definitely the standout for me. I ordered the cheese enchiladas Suizas and they were a 10/10. Not comparable to most enchiladas I've had but the sauce was fantastic and unique. I really loved these enchiladas and I'd honestly get them again. Solid flavor in the rice and beans as well. My friends also enjoyed their meal and it seemed like everyone was happy. The pricing is a little steep for Mexican food but also the ambiance and presentation make sense to me why it'd be a little more. For the three of us the bill was over $100. And that's for three mains and three non-alcoholic drinks. Normally at $33-ish a person I'd hope for at least a beer with my enchiladas, so keep that in mind. As a special occasion place or a spot to celebrate this spot is truly fantastic. I honestly loved my meal so much that even with the price point I'd rush back and bring more friends because this spot is vibey. Nice staff and a cute spot to diner, 5 stars in my books given the quality, taste of the food and the overall experience.

I saw the margarita flight and knew I had to try it, especially since it was my first time. They were all delicious and tasty. I would definitely order again. They had their garnish game on point. I also saw they had a taco flight. I knew I had to try those as well. I wanted to try all the different meat options to find the flavors I like. The Birria taco was my favorite flavor. Some of the meats were a little dry. I wish they had a little more flavor to them. They gave me two different salsas to add and that helped. But I would definitely like to see the flavors of the tacos improve. I always crave sushi. That was a must try for me. I thought I would try the fiesta mariachi roll for the first trip here. It was delicious. I'm craving more! I think next time I will have to try some of the other sushi options since this one was so good. Also since they basically have flights for everything..... I would love to have a sushi platter flight... with my margarita flight! I will definitely go back. I can't wait to try more menu items. The staff was all very attentive and friendly.

    This review is for the restaurant named "Kalaveras" (in Simi Valley, California), which has just…read morerecently closed. This business location was renamed to "Kulturas," which has an entirely separate yelp business page. Kulturas had a soft opening on September 3rd, 2026, and they are scheduled to have their official grand opening on September 24th. I recently visited this Kulturas, and I plan to write a yelp review on this new business soon, after I have had a few more visits here and I've solidified my opinion. However, now that Kalaveras has closed, I'd like to post my review on my experiences here. I have been to this Kalaveras about a dozen times over the last few years. Throughout all my experiences the food and the drinks were always very good, and I had no problems whatsoever. The service at this Kalaveras was very good most of the time, and I only experienced one bad waitress with a bad attitude. The atmosphere here was always clean, vibrant and inviting. The only problem that seemed to exist was that this restaurant was VERY LOUD inside, so much so that the people I regularly go to restaurants with often did not want to come here. I've seen other folks mention how loud it was at this Kalaveras in their yelp reviews as well. This atmosphere appeared to be targeted for an audience in their twenties, and in large groups, especially for folks looking for a club/night-life environment. Unfortunately, I believe this environment was just annoying to older folks, or even any age group of people who actually wanted to hear the person with whom they were talking. Overall, this Kalaveras was a very good restaurant with very good service, with only one major flaw: the loud noise. From my first experience at Kulturas, it appears that the owners and managers here are trying to make improvements, and they are trying to transition this restaurant from a 3-star or a 4-star location to a 5-star location. Based on my first experience at Kulturas, they might succeed.

He'll usually select one savory item and one sweet treat. Often, their Japanese-style egg salad tucked inside a pastry is so perfect for me. The actual dough is like a marriage between a bagel and a croissant. It's lighter than a bagel, but it's flavorful and tender like a croissant, but not flaky. The egg salad filling is just right for my tastebuds, and it provides protein in a fancy, delicious fashion. Today there was a hint of savory garlic on the pastry, and that added a nice flavor accent. Today's sweet pastry was an open-faced tart filled with a smooth, light chocolate base, topped with creamy custard, and then sliced pears on top. Mmm. I like the choice of pears offering a hint of the autumn season ahead. The last time we had out of town guests staying with us, we took my them to Le Herisson one morning. They fell in love with the food and the sweet, simple ambiance. The next morning, my sister-in-law got up early and went back over, bringing back a box of pastries for everyone to share. That definitely tells the story of how much everyone enjoyed the food offerings. It's a special treat to have a quality bakery like this in Simi. We prefer it to another well-regarded bakery on the west end of town, which is a different style and more expensive.
