Total waste of $100. The meat was inedible--way too salty and covered in so much pepper it burned. I don't know who is writing these positive reviews, but they are clearly fake. Real people don't eat this garbage. Save your money and go somewhere else. Update: The owner's response is just as bad as their food." "Instead of taking responsibility for serving inedible, over-salted, and over-peppered meat for $100, the owner chooses to call me 'petty' and claim I'm 'competition.' I am a paying customer who just wanted a decent dinner, not a business rival. Your inability to handle honest feedback is pathetic. If you spent as much time in the kitchen as you do making up conspiracy theories about your customers, maybe the food wouldn't be so salty. Trust the 1-star reviews--the owner's attitude confirms everything. Update (Response to the liar/manager): "It's pathetic to see the manager and owner publicly lying by claiming I'm 'not a customer' just to protect your fake rating. I have the DoorDash receipt and the transaction record to prove exactly what I bought and when. I will be providing this proof to DoorDash support this evening, along with screenshots of your insults and dishonesty. We'll see who is lying then. Instead of gaslighting customers who complain about your salty, over-peppered food, you should learn some professionalism. You took $100 of my money and then called me a liar--that is a new low for any business in LA." read more

The food is really good. This is the only place I get my chicken kebabs from ever since I discovered this spot. The food is overall outstanding & fresh. The jalapeño is spicy. The chicken is juicy , I also get the option to choose half rice & fries . The fries are seasoned very well. Hummus & cucumber salad is fresh and tasting. Also comes with lavash. Best Armenian food I've ever tried. So yummy! I recommended this place to my family, they are also picky eaters but they love this food. Highly recommend! read more

The BBQ at Mangal is one of a kind! I had it on Thursday at someone's house and then ordered it on Friday for guests and they didn't stop talking about how delicious it was til they left. The guy that answered the phone was very helpful with recommending how much of each item to order or else I wouldn't have known how much food to order. The meat was seasoned perfectly and grilled to juicy perfection. We also ordered potatoes, rice, grilled veggie salad along with the Armenian tomato/cucumber salad and it was all very delicious! I will only order from Mangal moving forward. We are Armenian so for us to be that impressed, says a lot. I've already told my close family and friends about this place. read more

All I have to say is WOW!! Amazing, delicious food. If you want food that tastes homemade then this place is for you. It felt like eating bbq right off the mangal. We ordered chicken & beef kebabs, ikibir, pork chops, steak, rice, eggplant salad, and plech (grilled potatoes). Everything was fresh, juicy and delicious. I've tried many places in this vicinity but have to say this was 10/10!!! I hope you guys never change the quality. Love it and one hundred percent recommend it. read more

I've been coming here for the past few months and it's definitely my spot for delicious Armenian food! They're so welcoming and the flavors are incredible! In fact, they even stand out in an area saturated with other Armenian restaurants. As a Latino learning Armenian, they even take the time to teach me a few words any time they can. I recommend this place to EVERYONE that wants the most delicious Armenian-style BBQ in the North Hollywood/Van Nuys area. read more

Got the chicken shish kabob and beef shish kabob meals. Both equally delicious. French fries made perfectly crispy. However, I did eat this for 2 days and I had significant stomach issues and was burping up the flavor of the meat for days after. I had to take alot of good bacteria to get my gut back to normal health. Perhaps someone had dirty hands when preparing my food? I will not be back because of this issue. read more

The lamb neck shawarma is a non-negotiable, falls right off the bone, juicy, and comes with the perfect accompaniments. We also got the grilled dorade and oyster mushrooms, both are consistently excellent. This time we swapped our usual shrimp for the crudo and peach salad, and honestly, both were amazing. Still team shrimp overall, but it just goes to show you really can't go wrong with anything on this menu. Service is always attentive and the ambiance is upscale with lots of natural lights and greenery. Parking - There is valet parking and a pay to park lot across the street by Girl and the Goat.

While the shrimp itself tasted sweet, the scallop didn't taste like anything. The overall dish felt one-dimensional for the price. Ceviche de Rockot (Rockfish): More reasonable portion. Snappy texture. For a mild, sweet fish, this could have been a great canvas for creative flavors. Instead it's just lime-y like the prior dishes. While each dish looked aesthetic, they shared the same acidic flavor profile. I found myself wishing for more creativity and variety in the sauces and seasonings. The seafood quality also needs to be more consistent, especially when serving premium ingredients. Service: Order and pay at the counter, grab a table number, and the staff brings the food out. The restaurant itself is located in a shared casual dining space. Pay to park. I don't think the experience justified the reputation or the prices.

Philippe the Original has been doing things the right way…read morefor generations, and my latest visit reminded me why it remains one of my favorite places in Los Angeles. I stopped in just before the lunch rush--a good strategy, especially on a Dodgers game day--and everything clicked from the moment I walked in. The first thing that caught my eye was Elizabeth carving lamb right off the bone and building my French Dip sandwich in front of me. That's not theater; that's the way they've done it for years, and I loved every minute of it. The lamb dip was outstanding, just as I remembered. Add a crisp pickle, a side of coleslaw, and a Miller Genuine Draft, and you've got a lunch that doesn't need any fancy introductions. The sawdust on the floor may be gone, but the personality certainly isn't. Philippe's still feels like old Los Angeles. People share tables, strike up conversations, and enjoy a meal without anyone rushing them out the door. Then there's something you almost never find downtown anymore--free parking. That's worth mentioning all by itself. Could I explain why I'm giving Philippe's five stars? I suppose I could. But when you have friendly people like Elizabeth, a fresh lamb dip made right in front of you, reasonable prices, free parking, and more than a century of Los Angeles history, what more could you ask for? You may have seen this review, or a version of it, in one of the local publications I write for. I always pay for my own meals, and my opinions are my own.

I was in LA for a work conference, and my colleague and I decided to come here on a double date one…read moreevening with our spouses. This place came highly recommended online, and I can see why! First of all, the vibes are sooooo good! From the dope music to the staff, I felt at home walking in the door. I love how the restaurant has an open air feel to it, where even when sitting inside, you're also right next to the outdoor spaces. I ended up sharing the Taiwanese popcorn chicken with my husband and ordered the wonton noodle soup. The soup was pretty good and fresh, but popcorn chicken stole the show! Just delicious. My husband got the Dan Dan noodles which were also super flavorful.

I've come to the realization that Taiwanese food may not be entirely for me. That said, Pine &…read moreCrane's dan dan noodles are literal perfection. We often pick them up as a side to whatever meal we're making at home, and they somehow tie everything together beautifully. They're peanuty, saucy, and the cucumbers add the perfect crunch. My fiancé usually hates cucumbers, but even he loves them in this dish. I've also tried the popcorn chicken, spicy shrimp dumplings, and grass jelly. I found the rest of these a little underwhelming, but I think that may come down more to my personal taste than the quality of the food. Regardless, I will continue coming back for those dan dan noodles.

Mangal is a hidden gem that truly captures the essence of Mediterranean cuisine! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, with beautiful decor that reflects the rich culture of the Mediterranean. The menu is a delightful journey through the region, offering a fantastic selection of dishes. I started with the mezze platter, which was a perfect introduction to the vibrant flavors. Each item was fresh and flavorful, especially the hummus For the main course, I opted for the lamb and chicken , which were cooked to perfection - tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The staff at Mangal were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every aspect of our dining experience was exceptional. The service was prompt, and they were happy to recommend wine pairings that complemented our meal beautifully. To top it all off, I couldn't resist trying their baklava for dessert, which was the perfect sweet ending to a wonderful meal. Mangal is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Mediterranean food. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu! Highly recommended! read more

This family-owned business offers a wide range of fresh fruit dishes, desserts, lunch options, sweets, and unique Peruvian items that are not available elsewhere. I have had the pleasure of getting to know each member of the staff, who are all attentive, friendly, and prepare the food with great creativity and passion. What I love about this place is that it provides a sense of escape from reality, allowing you to indulge in something enjoyable and delicious. I highly recommend giving it a try at least once, as I'm confident you'll become hooked. One of my all-time favorites is the fresas con crema. As someone who occasionally makes Peruvian salsas, I can attest that this is the only place in the area where you can find the peppers needed to make them. read more

Mangal is hands down my go-to spot for Armenian BBQ -- no one does it better! The chicken and beef BBQ are absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned, and always grilled to perfection. You can really taste the quality in the meat -- tender, juicy, and full of flavor every single time. I always order for pickup, and my food is consistently ready right on time, which I really appreciate. The portions are super generous -- the plates are always packed with food, and they put extra lavash all the time, which is a big plus. You can tell they care about both the food and the customer experience. It's rare to find a place that delivers on quality, consistency, and value -- but Mangal does it all. This is the only place I trust for my BBQ. Highly recommend! read more

Found this place on Google while I was searching for nearby restaurants. The pictures looked very appetizing so I went in. The place was neat and clean. I was greeted upon entering by the staff. I was advised to try the beef lula kebab, and oh my, is was delicious. The first lula kebab that didn't feel like a cardboard. Honestly I never knew kebab can be so juicy. Game changer experience. Definitely will be coming back. read more

Mangal is a great place for flavorful, well-prepared grilled food. The meats are juicy and cooked just right, with a nice smoky taste that really stands out. The sides are fresh and complement the main dishes well, especially the rice and salads. The staff is welcoming and the service is smooth, creating a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. It's a spot I'd happily return to for a hearty and satisfying meal. read more
