Golden Fork is a real hidden gem! The restaurant offers a great sit-down experience -- clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The mix of Mediterranean, Russian, and Armenian dishes is impressive, and every plate is full of flavor and quality ingredients. You can really taste the freshness and care in their cooking. Service is friendly, and the overall atmosphere makes it a great spot for both casual meals and nice dinners. Definitely worth visiting if you're looking for authentic, well-made food in a clean and relaxing setting! read more

Great place and delicious food. I am ordering catering from them almost every holiday. Highly recommend this place, prices are friendly read more

I ordered 3 Lb of meat selection. When I picked up my order and got home, I noticed that package was very light. It turned out the container with my 3 lbs of meat was actually 900gramms with the container itself, bread, peppers , onions and everything else that was there BESIDES meat! People at the pickup window told me that order was for 3 lbs of row meat. So, I guess that meat shrinks in weight for over 30%. It's like people never grilled meat at home and don't know how much meat shrinks during BBq. I was going to that place for many years and know people by names. Very disappointed that crew is cheating and stilling meat. My Less Than 900 grams of meat costs me $43! How is that ok with the owners of that place?! They just lost at least 3 long time customers... Merry Christmas! read more

I love this place so much. Food is amazing and always fresh. My go to is the chicken lula plate, the rice is so tasteful. My friend enjoys the short ribs plate. Great for catering as well. Would definitely recommend! read more

Great place for khinkali. Very good traditional Armenian food. I feel like I'm at home every time I come here read more

I had a very very bad experience with this place and service, DO NOT GO there ....!!!!!, they are very rude and not clean with prices, on the MENU one numbers on the check completely different, much much hire , and if god forbit you have a QQQQ's about it, you are a bad person, they embarrassed me in front of my friends and other gests ...., the waiter and the owner start to be rude and scream at me..., my husband and I had a very unpleasant time experience with all of this and them.... read more

Now this place really hit it out of the park! The food was amazing the kebab, hummus, and tabouli were on point! The owner is a sweet heart! if you're in the Glendale area they also have a location there as well and they're both equally as good as each other. The owner runs them very well and I really enjoy the food. It's actually very well priced and it's a good deal for the money I love the place and you will like it as well. I highly recommend it read more

Stumbled upon them by accident and noticed they have 2 entry points...one to order take out & another for actual dine-in. I chose take out and everything's made fresh to order so it took about 25 minutes. Both plates came with generous amount of fresh lavash, meat, rice/potatoes & they had pre packed salads in case you want to take home more then just the sides. The meat was tender & seasoned well, especially the steak kabobs. The xinkali is huge...i could barely eat 2 pieces. Its $2.50 each. Overall glad i found them. Will definitely order again. read more

Great food. Good service. Will go back again. Nice and quiet. Highly recommended easy parking

The ambiance makes you feel like you are at home. The food is delicious and the service is on point. The host is very friendly.

Wow! Delicious food! I came here with an Armenian friend so that was helpful. She ordered all the meats, a few salads to start with and very good xinkali. My favorites were the lamb chops and pork, the chicken is very yummy as well! I don't think you could go wrong if you're a meat lover! Very clean place and nice people. I only took one picture but that doesn't show the salad and other kebeb we're waiting on read more

Happy experience every time I come here. Nobody bothering me to get out quicker, pro smokers rights, very calm atmosphere, the food is made like home, with ingredients I trust. The staff have a great attitude and are confident in their culinary abilities. Will be coming here as long as they are here. read more

Tl:Dr : I asked for NO PEPPERS with my order and the order came with peppers. I called to understand why they gave me a something I specifically didn't ask for, the worker insulted me, called me a bitch and hung up. TERRIBLE SERVICE If I could give 0 stars I would. This place is absolutely terrible namely the customer service is the worst I've ever experienced. When we ordered we specifically asked for the staff NOT TO PUT spicy peppers with my order. When I got home and opened the box with my food there were four giant spicy peppers in the box with my food. I called back to the restaurant and asked why there were peppers when I SPECIFICALLY ASKED THEM NOT TO PUT PEPPERS, they just said "if you don't like it then throw it away" and the girl on the phone proceeded to insult me calling me a bitch. When I asked for the manager she replied with "they won't help you, they're not here" and hung up. THE SERVICE IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. THE STAFF IS RUDE AND DOESN'T CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. Also the food was garbage, tasted bad and overpriced as fuck. DISAPPOINTING to say the least read more

My friend and I went to Golden Fork on Van Nuys and we had the worst experience ever, it was actually our first time going to this place, food was ok nothing special and THE CUSTOMER SERVICE was just horrible. I wouldn't recommend it!! read more

Ok the food is really good not going to lie but I don't know what they get out of being so rude and mean. Like walking in there is like walking on eggshells the staff ignores you for a good ten minutes and when they notice you they roll their eyes like a customer is such an inconvenience. They also take forever to get the food ready and I thought maybe I was being over dramatic until I timed it and it took them 30 minutes to hand it over. I remember a guy walking in pissed saying it's been an hour and the food still wasn't ready the guy still had to wait another fifteen minutes. Good food but at what price. read more

The iqibir is made of lamb. You'd think they'd wanna mention that since that's not usually what it's made of. I've never heard of it being made of lamb... But I love everything else there! The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is cuz I can still taste the unsolicited lamb fat. read more

Ordered a bunch of food for my daughters birthday. We were about 20 people so I ordered various meats and sides. The beef shish kabob was amazing and so tender. The ground chicken and ground beef were great as well. The potatoes were a little dry, but everything else was on point. Hummus, grilled vegetables, salads, etc. all 5 stars. I'd definitely order from them again. Thank the chef! read more

Golden Fork - Armenian Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Good serves and delicious food They are have been great workers.My favorite food is khnkali and kebab I so enjoy them.

I've been to this place three times. Every single time food was perfect. We tried lamb, beef and pork. Large portions, juicy and tasty meat. Greens are hand selected and cut to size, excellent attention to small details. Comes with a hearty amount of lavash (Armenian bread). Prices are very moderate and it is a BYOB. Great place to heave casual dinner with family or friends. read more

It's so amazing place the food is delicious and super fresh how we love it .. my and my boss when to eat in Golden Fork he bin there so many times and I just for the first time but I can say guys you doing great job making this amazing food .m don't see the time to came back again !!! read more

Love little Russian/Armenian places like this around the valley food was delicious :)

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. I mean come on people you have a business or you hire employees make sure you're employees are at least friendly to the CUSTOMERS that give you business. I'd heard about this place for a while and decided to try the food for once no other Mediterranean places near my house were open. Definitely will not be going back.. you walk in and the give you a look as though they're irritated with you for being there. Or they hate their job.. either/or. Food wasn't all that great. NOPE. will not be returning. Don't waste your money or time here people. read more

Lem me start with food,They have more than ten different typed ofsalads in the menu and any we try to order the server lady said ooo that is old the others we don't have ... we end up choosing just armenian salad(was horrible).Then we try to order Xinkali she's like ooo gonna take long about 50m. Hmmm salads are old ,xinkali gonna take long time Service was Horrible Horrible. I think this lady who served us came from other planet.She comes out every 30min not even asking us if we need anything Her face makes me not even bother her.we asked for coffee with some sweets she is like no we don't have not even apologize and she want us to tip her.Why? What for you horrible service or ignoring us and coming out to asked us why we didn't leave her money. I'll make sure never came back not even for to go DO Not Recommend anyone spend time and money here read more

There is honestly a reason why their ratings are so low. And mainly because of customer service. I called in on a Tuesday to place an order for 20 fried khinxali around 8 pm, mind you they close at 9pm. The lady rudely responded "No more orders today". I repeated myself and said, "I need to place an order for tomorrow". She proceeded to take my order with an attitude. I placed it for 6:00pm on a weekday. I show up at 6:10 with her to take my payment rudely, with that same attitude. Not only am I waiting additional time for my order that I had placed for a certain time to pick up I get my order and it's completely wrong. This place is disgusting. Their food is not even all that. Cafe Areni is WAY better. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this place. It's a waste of money and time. read more

They didn't deserve even one star. Poor customer service, horrible food quality and dirty place. Do not order or eat there!!!

Food is good but your service sucks. Hire people who know how to smile and greet people. I should've just left the food there after your attitude but it was for a party. Last time I order from here. Check your employees read more

I Harut ordered bbq from them and I'm also a chef and my order supposed to be ready at 6:30 pm I went to pick up and it wasn't hot fresh because they made it earlier than they supposed to so it wasn't good because they made it at 4:30 by the time I picked up it was already not fresh. I specifically suggest to make it hot read more

It's Christmas Eve and my mom ordered food from here (once again). We have been ordering from here for years, but I don't understand why... it's not even that great. Anyway, my cousins and I go to pick up the food, at 7PM, which was the time promised. We wait about 30 minutes along with a room full of other upset customers - I kindly suggest that they call us once the food is ready so that we may return and not wait in a crowded space. I go out of my way to let them know that I notice how busy they are and that it's Christmas, etc. A lady takes my number down with a smile and promises me a call back once our order is ready in less than 30 minutes. It has been well over an hour and a half and still no call. Horrible service - thank god mom also prepared some amazing dishes and satisfied all of her guests! read more

The food is good but I have been lied to more than twice already on the prices when paying being overcharged on items I didn't order for over $30 or more each time. They don't say the price when ordering until the food is ready and you have to pay. read more

This place is the worst!!! Horrible service. Very rude workers giving attitude, Terrible service, I had called to place an order and they made me call Back at a later time just to say it's too late to place an order I had called the next day and same person answered and gave me the same horrible service I had received before!! I definitely recommend you guys to avoid this place, very rude people..!!! read more

NEVER come here, I mean it! The one time I dined in last year, the food was really nothing special and the service was not good. I figured I wouldn't return until today while driving for Postmates, I was asked to pickup an order from Golden Fork. I figured it would be fine for pickup because I wouldn't be the one eating the food, and I usually like to give second chances anyway incase of new management. So I arrive and was told my total. I brought out my Postmates credit card, as the brunette woman (who seemed like the manager??) rudely told me that they only accept debit. I told her that wasn't a debit card as she put my card in the machine and told me to enter my pin. I politely explained that I work for a delivery service and that this was the company's credit card. She refused my card again, so I told her I have to cancel the delivery on my Postmates app. I cancelled the delivery (and wasted my time) and this woman did NOT seem to understand. She asked me to call the customer and I told her that now that I've had to cancel, I can't contact the customer. She then proceeded to tell me to go NEXT DOOR TO THE LIQUOR STORE TO PULL CASH OUT OF THEIR ATM (again not understanding that I didn't have a debit card). At this point I felt pretty frustrated. She said "you don't have ANY cash on you?" I felt so unappreciated as a potentially paying customer. She went on to tell me how this hurts her business and then yelled in another language to the other employees. I told her there is absolutely nothing that I can do and I understand her inconvenience, but that I'm also inconvenienced because her restaurant doesn't accept credit cards. As a Postmates employee, I know that Postmates support calls the restaurant to place the order before I arrive. Therefore, it really shocks me that she wouldn't notify Postmates (or ANY paying customer) via phone that they don't accept credit. This place really needs to step up their customer service and I definitely won't be returning. read more

Best Armenian food and also best khenkali in town ! Prices are okay I guess little high for the location but you know worth every penny for a good diner ! read more

The food here is delicious! It's the reason why I come back time after time even though the service is slooow. It's definitely not a "quick dinner or bite to eat". It's more a "family time and conversation dinner". With that said, the slow service is overlooked because time passes as you catch up with your dinner company or maybe some office work if dinning alone. Everytime I come there's always a celebration at a table and the hospitality of other diners are welcoming and warm. So don't be surprised if your greeting with a celebratory shot of vodka or cognac. It's a great way to start a dinner and make new friends. The food is Armenian/Russian and you can see the staff make your meal freshly prepared as it is ordered. Probably one of the many reasons why the wait for service and food is long, besides there's only one server. Also, there is an additional charge to use credit/debit cards vs cash. I know it's against the majority of merchant terminal contracts but after some visits here and everyone feels like friends it's easier to overlook. My favorite is the Hummus (one of the best I've tasted yet), Greek salad, Borscht and Filet Mignon kabobs read more
