It was quite a trek to get here. It's in the middle of the west Valley. No easy freeway access…read more There's quite a few businesses in this strip mall. Parking spaces are super tiiiiiiight. I didn't see any ADA parking at all. We were happy with what we got. Pork belly with umami gravy bowl and added 4 pc "eggroll" aka lumpia. It was really 2 lumpia cut in half. I probably should have ordered a full side but it was a perfect amount. Lumpia was super crispy on the outside. Very flavorful without being overly garlicky or seasoned. Came with sweet chili sauce. Chicken longanisa. It said ground chicken so I was expecting crumbled meat. It was formed into a patty. Very tender and delicious. Also served on rice with egg over easy, scallions and pickled vegetable. Since it was our first time here I got the two bun combo with pork belly and angus burger. Pork belly had a little kick in the sauce. The bao bun was a nice compliment so it wasn't too spicy. 2 slices of cucumber also in the bun to help cut the spice. The angus burger had a creamy mayo sauce with sautéed mushrooms and half cooked onions. Not what I expected but definitely would get again. The side of fries were thin, crispy and very well seasoned. There's not a lot of counter service. You order at a machine. I had to wait because I wanted a printed receipt. As far as I could see, only 2 people working. They brought our food to the table and that guy was very nice and cordial as we asked for a few more things. No one was eating there. Saw about 3 people order take out. Plenty of tables and a picnic table for seating. I definitely loved the wall decor and the clock was my favorite! They had Chinese, Korean and Japanese on the wall. I didn't see any Tagalog where I was sitting but I think that's the main Asian influence.

The boys and I were driving around for a bit to see what we wanted for lunch so I pulled over to…read morepull out the nifty Yelp app to see what was close by. We decided on Oi Asian which had great reviews, so why not. First off, let me say that there is plenty of parking, however, the parks are extremely narrow for some reason. It was a struggle to get in and out of the car due to the width of the parks smh. Anyway, once we got inside, there wasn't anyway at the register and after standing there for a while, I noticed the kiosk so unplaced my order there. There were only two cooks in the back. We placed our order and sat down. The place was clean but everything seemed like it was do it yourself. The boys were thirsty and there wasn't an option for water on the kiosk, so I called one of the cooks from the back to pay for a water and he rang me up. It was pretty rough in there. At one point I had to get up and grab my own fork by reaching over the counter. Once our food was ready, one of the cooks brought our food and I wasn't really feeling my meal, which was the dynamite crawfish bowl. I didn't like the sauce it came with. I just picked at the crawfish and left the rest. As for the boys meal, the fried chicken adobo bowl was REALLY good! I ended up eating theirs because my oldest son didn't like it, which was great for me lol. My youngest and I tore that bowl up. Anyway, the verdict is, I may search around for other options but I know that if I can't find anything else I can always grab a chicken adobo bowl but the service was pretty nonexistent. That chicken adobo bowl saved it. OOO 3 out of 5

This is my new go-to Thai place! It's the best one we've had in the valley so far…read more We ordered takeout through the phone. I think the owner was the one who helped us and she was so pleasant to talk to! What we got: Khao soi (Curry noodle on the menu) Pad see ew Thai fried rice Pad Thai Tom Kha Gai (Coconut soup on the menu) Everything was delicious. We like spice so when we asked her to make it spicy, she definitely delivered! They also give containers of sauces on the side in case you want to add it to your food. Will definitely order from here again.

We called and placed a phone order on Saturday morning around 11:30am. We ordered the bulgogi…read moreritto, and the fried shrimp ritto. The woman on the phone gave us an estimated wait time of 10 minutes. When we arrived, we quickly noticed how small the parking lot was. There were only two spots opened. I'm not sure what it would have looked like if we came during rush hour, but at least there was spots for us to park in. When we got inside it was pretty small with about 15 seats available for dine in. There was one other party there at the same time we were. Once we paid, we saw the fried shrimp coming from out of the kitchen, so we knew ours were almost ready since they just needed to wrap them up. This place was the definition of a local mom and pop business. Mom was running the cash register, and Pop was in the kitchen. They were two of the sweetest people. She even came out to the dining area to hand us our food, rather than screaming at us from behind the counter. We drove home (5 mins away), and I unpacked the food to find that each box was labeled. It probably wasn't necessary since we could very clearly see which was shrimp and which was bulgogi but I appreciated the small touches. My partner and I each had one half of the shrimp and one half of the bulgogi and it as unanimous that our favorite was the fried shrimp. They do include a sauce that has the slightest kick, but in my opinion it was the best kind of spicy where it isn't painful and it's actually quite pleasant, complimenting the fried shrimp very well. Overall - we are so glad we tried this little local spot. The fried shrimp ritto was so good, I want to try other items, but I know I'll be craving that fried shrimp ritto again.

What a gem in the Valley! Looks like it's literally run by a Korean mom and pop. When I walked in,…read morethe "mom" was at the counter and the "pop" was in the back kitchen. I called in to order takeout of a fried chicken and bulgogi "ritto" for two. It was a fast, delicious lunch! A 'ritto is a "burrito" style wrap-- white rice with seasoned protein, kimchi, special mayo, + optional chili all wrapped in Korean seaweed. The burrito itself is a bit fragile since it's large and the seaweed is the nice thin kind, so it's nice to eat it with a fork over a plate/box so you don't miss any bites I like a seaweed wrap which is fewer carbs than a flour/corn tortilla. The white rice is fluffy and sticky (all good things). The special mayo did it for me. The lettuce (romaine?) was crispy and fresh. There's space to sit inside if you want to dine in, and parking is easy as there's a lot. Located at the corner of Saticoy and Winnetka. Price is comparable to other protein-packed sandwiches in the Valley. And I like supporting local businesses that make yummy food. Looking forward to coming back soon.

One of the best Thai restaurants I've been to in Los Angeles. What makes the food taste better is all the staff were genuinely friendly and eager to be helpful. Nice quiet dining area and doesn't get too loud. Definitely recommend the red curry and coconut soup. Both were rich with flavor with a thicker consistency. I do not like it when going to other restaurants and the soup/curry is watered down. Will be back to try other dishes and bring friends.

My boyfriend and I came to Moon Sushi Bar over the weekend for the first time after seeing a little…read morevideo about doing a date night here and wanting sushi close by. We found Moon Sushi Bar and saw good reviews and so we decided to come and check it out. Upon entering, it was a bit of a rough start as it was pretty busy and borderline packed, and all in small restaurant. I don't know if the one waiter working never saw us because he was so busy, or what was happening because it took them five minutes just to acknowledge us and motion towards a table. Once we sat down, again, it took another five minutes just to get a menu. Right before we had gotten the menu, we had just debated leaving because it had been ten minutes and it seemed like maybe they had a full enough plate as it was. However, we're glad we stayed, though, because once we got our food, it was worth it! We ordered with the one guy who was taking orders and helping out most of the diners here. It did take a long time to get our food, which ended up biting us in the ass at the end when we wanted to order another roll, but had to wait, again, a long time just to receive it. At that point, too, most people had left, so we had expected it to come out maybe a tad bit faster, but it didn't. We ordered two specialty rolls and a normal basic roll. For how long it took, we should have gotten edamame and ordered them all at the beginning. Both of the specialty rolls were amazing and packed with flavor. One had a ponzu sauce, and another a yuzu lemon sauce, both of which my boyfriend and I love, so these were up our alley. The basic shrimp tempura roll was also really good, especially for being a more traditional and plain roll. None of it was too heavy, but after sharing three rolls, we were (unfortunately) full. We're looking forward to coming back to this sushi shop for our next sushi date night! They're so close by and have such great customer service and food. It was so nice and reassuring to see that a majority of people who came inside to eat, also knew the waiter and people working and were regulars. The waiter and guy who was taking care of us, who I could only assume to be the owner or manager, was saying thank you to each and every one of their customers and even giving some hugs! A group of guys came in and all cheered, laughed, and ended up also taking a shot of sake with the guy as well! Everyone who was working and eating all seemed so happy to be there. The ambiance and energy is unbeatable in such a friendly and positive environment.

When the meal came however unfortunately food was missing. I'm not sure if the restaurant itself forgot to give the items or not or if something was going on there. Six items didn't come in our order (two soups, two rice, and two lemonades) and when we reached out for a refund via Uber Eats they only refunded us a little over two dollars when we definitely paid much more. When we questioned why we weren't getting the amount we paid for refunded, we were met with closed conversations and "I understand that you wanted to receive at least something for the trouble that this order has caused to you but at this time we are not able to add any" and "We've reviewed your order and can confirm that you were issued a $2.68 credit." Maybe it's the delivery's fault but I still feel like how your food comes and the experience it causes is a reflection of the business selling the food. Unfortunately I can't in good conscience give a better review as the whole situation really just soured everything.
