There's a number of korean/chinese kebab places across Ktown and SGV but this place stands out for the quality of meat. Beware, the price reflects the quality, but service is attentive and quick, and the banchan is solid. Portions for the large entrees and appetizers are generous. Side street parking is available but rare, so look hard!

Reminisced of my time in Korea when I had skewers and soju with my friends on weekday night. Found…read morethis place shortly after and we loved it. Great quality meat. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Almost private-intimate experience since it's located upstairs in shopping mall. Great place to gather with a small group of friends.

Great spot for Armenian food! The setting is casual and doesn't have a ton of seating, so we took…read moreour food to go. The portions are large so we were able to share! We got the beef and chicken plate and Greek salad. This was enough for 3 of us to share! The beef and chicken were tender and marinated well. All the sides in the combo were good too - especially the hummus! The greek salad was a nice complement, and again really large portion. I really enjoyed the meal and would recommend if you're looking for Armenian food!

I finally tried Mini Kabob and it was all that and more…read more I ordered the chicken and beef plate with rice and hummus (yes to the hummus), and the chicken was incredibly well-seasoned and juicy -- so good. Only note for next time: I'll ask for it a little more well-done (just personal preference... I like my chicken with a little extra bite ). The eggplant caviar was solid and a generous portion, but the real standout? The Caesar wrap. It completely lived up to the hype -- bold, flavorful, and honestly addictive. I almost ordered a second one to take home. Also worth mentioning: the son of the owner who took my order was super friendly and had great customer service, even with a long line. He kept things moving while still being engaging, which I appreciated. I was excited to hear they're opening a Studio City location -- I'll definitely be back. This place is a must. Get the Caesar wrap.

We came to Raffi's for lunch while visiting my sister and her hubs. Glendale happens to have a…read morelarge Armenian community, so not surprisingly there are lots of Persian/Armenian restaurants to choose from. We opted for Raffi's Place after a morning stint at Shane's Inspiration Playground in Griffith Park. Raffi's is a huge restaurant that's very welcoming and festive. Waiters are friendly and carry huge trays dull of juicy kabobs with mountains of rice. It has a bit of a banquet hall feeling. Parking is done in nearby pay lots within a block or two. We shared a few entrees and still had plenty of leftovers. Highlights of the lunch: 1. The free, Lavash bread is paper thin yet chewy in a good way. My 6yo must have ate a half dozen or more. You can enjoy it plain, dip it in cucumber yogurt or go authentic with raw onions, radish, and mint/basil. 2. I loved the chicken thigh kabob. Super juicy and perfectly seasoned. Besides the grilled tomato there's also a big green chili pepper. The default saffron rice is our favorite but you can try 3-4 other variants for a surcharge. 3. Ny sister got the Scottish Salmon Kabob which is also excellent. Moist and perfectly cooked too. 4. Wife and bro-in-law wet with classic Beef Koobideh and portions were huge. They give two large pieces that are roundish in shape - Not flattened to make it look big like other places. BIL are like 1/4 of his Koobideh and packed the rest as takeout, LOL! We are all foodies but past a certain age our metabolism slows, LOL! Highly recommend Raffi's - family and kid friendly and you'll leave very full or have leftover for days.

Actually had this when it was quite new a while back, but I'm glad it's still around and the food still hits right. Group of four and got a wide arrangement of different skewers. Beef hit so good and it cooked well. Quality was juicy and the marinate was enough. Food came out quick and things were cleaned up quickly so there was never a clutter, more of an organized chaos. The space has great atmosphere for throwing back a couple drinks. Had our water refilled timely and overall service was great. Prices are still great! My only complaint is the parking but I've always been lucky

The restaurant has a really homey feeling inside, with about four small tables that make it feel cozy and welcoming. It's the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable. My partner and I ordered the chicken shish kebabs with mejadra rice, salad, and sumac fries. Everything was delicious! The plate also came with hummus and pita, which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The hummus was smooth, rich, and perfect with the warm pita. Hermon helped recommend our food, cooked it, and even served us. She was so kind and made the whole experience feel really personal. She also offered us complimentary baklava, which was amazing. It had the most soft, chewy texture with just enough sweetness. When I asked her what the secret ingredient was, she just smiled and said she couldn't spoil it so you'll have to try it for yourself! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

We did not really interact with anyone to order, as we had to order in a kiosk but they brought the food out to our table. The place itself had 3 tables indoors and a couple of tables outdoors!

I had the privilege of visiting Chef Okay's restaurant, Sora, yesterday, and was blown away by the…read moreflavors, experience, and overall satisfaction. Chef Okay is running a one-man operation in the best way possible. The very intimate room hosts no more than 6-7 small tables, with the chef preparing food in an open kitchen a couple of feet away from you. His warmth and appreciation are felt from the moment you walk in until you leave. He has no servers or busers; he handles the entire operation alone in a very effective and intimate way. They have a kiosk at the entrance with a small but mighty menu of flavor-filled Turkish dishes. The dishes were prompt and packed with rich Mediterranean flavors. Some of my favorites included the Kitel, Garlic Kabob, and Tenderloin Shish Kabob. The cheese Halva dessert was mind-blowing, capping it all off. I came with a friend from Turkey, and she was blown away by the range of flavors and elevated take on traditional Turkish dishes. I'm really happy to support such a talented and passionate chef crafting his own style and flavors! Can't recommend this place enough

As a world traveller, I always long for the tastes I had in the Mediterranean here in the US, so I am blown away by the authentic and delicious tasting plates I have had here. SO delicious! I have sesame ( tahini) allergies so they were very conscious of telling me the items I COULD eat so I could make my own "build a plate". The tzatsiki, toubouli, chicken schwarma and pita are truly the best I have had! And the portions are very generous. I joined the Rewards program on my first visit so already on my next visit I will get a free drink or French fries. It is so hard nowadays to find healthy and nutritious food in a casual eat -in/take-out settings. I keep forgetting there is a Northridge location near where I live. Glad I found a new favorite place.
