I would say this place is a 4.5 out of 5. Pros - Great ambience and very nicely decorated, also very clean. The staff is also very friendly and the service is pretty quick. You can tell the owner put attention to detail when designing/remodeling the place. The music is not too loud and overpowering like it is at some other hookah spots, where you can't hear the people next to you. Instead, at Vale, I found it to be kept at a nice volume. they have tons of space and seating and the seats are very comfortable, which is a big deal to me.

Although I have not tried a lot of the food, I tried the knafeh, the cheesecake, and the nutella fudge cake and all were good. Also, I love the tea pot they have as I love sipping tea with hookah. The presentation of the food is also...

proper and nicely done. The hookah is good quality as well, and the two times I have been on a weekend, it was packed very well and the flavors were great. They also have a great variety and selection of flavors on their menu. Cons - Although not many, the only two slightly negative things are that it is pricey. Tangiers is $50, which to me, is definitely pricey for hookah. I noticed other places charge around $35-$40 for tangiers at the most. Perhaps, since this is definitely a "nicer" hookah spot, then that is the charge. I personally don't like the "bougie" hookah spots so I may be out of touch with their pricing but I would definitely frequent Vale more if it wasn't so expensive. Also, I'm not sure if this is a weekday thing, but I have been there a total of 3 times before reviewing, twice on a weekend, and once on a weekday. The two times i went on a weekend, the bowl was packed great. However, the one time I went on a weekday (Thursday) evening, the flavor did not seem to be packed well and it was extremely, and I mean extremely harsh (I'm someone who smokes hookah relatively often) and even for me, it was very harsh to begin, which surprised me because I had an opposite experience on the two times on the weekend. Do with that information what you will, maybe it was just a bad day. I had my girlfriend with me at the time and she said it was also really harsh. I generally would not even post a one-time bad experience, but considering that it is $50 for hookah, you cannot give it out that harsh and poorly packed. Again, maybe it was just a bad day. Overall, I would say this is a hookah spot I would go to if I had a group of friends and we wanted a change of pace from out usual lounges we frequent. I really do like this place and had great experiences in service every single time and love the vibe and cleanliness of the place. However, the high price is probably the reason that keeps me from coming here more often or being a regular.

Food was delicious (we got the double mezze ). The coffee and tea was great (we got the hazelnut cappuccino and lemon ginger tea). For people complaining about price...you pay about $15+ at fast food places for a low-quality "meal"....

This is a somewhat frequent stop for me and some friends, but it has become very over priced unfortunately that we don't come as often. You pay $25 for tea!! Which is insane and the fries are $18 for a regular size and $30 for a large! The food is okay it's a hit or miss.. tried the nachos the last time I was here and was very disappointed. The ambiance is very chill laid back, and clean Il give it that and service is not bad but could be better. Hookah is also over priced .... Save yourself some time and money and go to the Spot in Encino for better food and better prices.

Nice location Comfortable Seating, But the Prices are not for the Average Person. Overall 6/10 experience The place was kinda dead on a Saturday night, plus the mandatory 15% gratitude for only 2 people is a little too much but if you got the money to blow this place is for you. Food was fresh but was over priced in my opinion. The gentleman working restocking the coal was friendly the ladies working were nice. I got the 50$ hookah 5$ water 19$ sandwich plus 15% gratitude plus California state taxes $$ is crazy work no wonder people are staying inside nowadays.

Still the best hookah place with delicious food, good service and magic vibes! Highly recommend for the connoisseurs!

Came back to Vale lounge after a while, and I'm even more impressed with the ambiance of the patio outside. The hookah menu seems to have expanded which was lovely to have a wide variety. The food was also very fresh and appetizing. But to top it all off the service from Olivia I believe was very attentive and helpful. Would be back again soon

My first experience at Vale Lounge was a great time. The inside and the patio are both very beautiful and very clean. All of the staff was very nice, welcoming, and attentive. We got the watermelon chill hookah mix and it tasted great! Our coals were refreshed often and we really enjoyed it. We also got hot tea which tasted delicious and the tea cups were super nice! We got cheesecake for desert that we both enjoyed. I am so glad I found this gem and will definitely be visiting more frequently! Sofia and Jordan were great!

Thalia B.

It was my first time here and I absolutely enjoyed it! It's a chill and laid back vibe. The place is very clean and the customer service is on point! I got appetizers hummus, salad and salad ( that was amazing and wish I took a pic lol ) the music was popping lol and the hookah I got was blueberry mint and watermelon mint I believe! I also got Armenian coffee cause I was tired and let me just say it woke me up lol!! And it comes with a little macaroon! Ohh and I didn't know that you can bring your own alcohol drink/ bottle because I had asked if they hd a drinking menu and she said no but I was welcomed to bring one from the bar that's next door from them or next time to bring my own which is pretty neat!! Def recommend coming here cause I sure am (:

I would be visiting this place multiple times a week if it was not for the $50Hookah. this is way too expensive. The owner needs to change the price of the hookah. These are tough times and people don't have a lot of money. How much does a pack of hookah flavor really cost plus charcoal. On top of that, the Customer still has to pay for gratuity not counting anything else they might order. This message is for the owner that he needs to consider lowering the price to 30 or $35 so people are encouraged to come. Our bill was over $200 for two people. Do you know how many hours we have to work to have one Hooka experience at this location? Think about it read more

Great spot & nice ambiance for a date night. The wait staff is very attentive BUT...... Their menu is mostly panini sandwiches and their chicken dish was sadly dry. Also they serve hummus with toasted baguettes -ugh! It would best paired with pita bread. When we asked for pita they sent it out toasted-ugh! It was not a good way to dip into the hummus in my opinion. They don't offer veggies either which would have been great. Lastly they don't sell alcohol. We were told it was ok to bring in our own bottle of wine. So hubby left our date to walk down to a liquor store & bought us a bottle. They charged us $35 corkage fee but didn't open & pour it for us AND the wine glasses they provided were plastic. WTH?! Hopefully they can improve by obtaining a liquor license and/or not charge for BYOB. Their menu is pricey anyway. They also need to stop with the plastic forks, plates, wine glasses. And improve their menu with more options. Maybe their lounge will have more patrons. We were one of two couples there so these changes would help tremendously. read more

The good: the place and ambience is great. Really pretty. Place is clean. Comfortable sitting. The not so great: this place is expensive beyond what it should be. $50 hookah is at best average. Tea is $25??!! One hookah with tea is almost $100 as they automatically add 18% tip. Not sure why that's ok when the server basically came to the table twice. read more

They do not sell alcohol. BUT, they charge for you to bring in your own liquor or beer. $25.00 plus+ Let's be foreal. Who pays to byob? Is that even legal? Post a sign, put it on the menu. But you need to advertise the charge or it's scamming. Period. Food was mediocre. Chicken bland. Hookah quality was poor. Barely any smoke. Had to ask too many times for the lines to clear or new cubes. Woke up with a sore throat in the morning. I Don't recommend this lounge. read more

Overall, this is a great place. It's in a simple strip mall with good parking. The inside space is large, although a bit too dark, and offers live music. The outside space is quite nice and has great airflow. The seating in both areas feels upscale and more modern. The food is very good and the portion sizes are great. The hookah is excellent - probably the best well crafted fruit bowl and flavor mix. Lastly, the people who work here are awesome - friendly and knowledgeable. We asked for suggestions on food and hookah flavors and they all turned out to be great! read more

My negatives for this place was they didn't tell us there was an entrance fee of $10/person and they over charged our group. Everyone paid the entrance fee then they charged the last person to pay a service fee of $10/person and double charged our hookahs. We weren't aware of this until later when my friend came to me and said she paid for my hookah. I let her know no me and our friend paid for ours at the same time and showed her the transaction. It's an unfortunate situation because it was a great time but seeing how they did that was not ok.

The highlight for me is the Bellydancer there-simply put: hot dancer and great energy-I haven't seen that in dancing often-highly recommend to see the Fire-eating show she puts on, just amazing.

This place is a really chill vibe underground spot in Northridge…read more Price - got a watermelon/mint traditional hookah and it was $18. Got it on a thursday midday. They have other snacks and drinks shown in photo. Hours- super convenient that they open at 12pm. The hours posted on their site is accurate which is refreshing. Atmosphere- rap music at a good volume. There's also 3 big TVs and a pool table. Huge open space with huge couches for friends to sit. Service- Anthony was the dude working. Super nice and gave me a free water. He pays attention to the coals and is proactive at changing them out. Overall one of the best hookah lounges you could ask for. No alcohol but they have a custom mix of flavors along with the traditional ones. Alot of outlets to plug your phone in and charge around every couch. Will definitely be visiting again when I'm back in town. 5 stars for this spot. @sirjake.official on insta. Enjoy.

Pi On Sunset

We were attending an event at the bookstore next store so it was a no-brainer to give Pi on Sunset…read morea try. Mediterranean food is pretty consistent (ie the same) for my tastes wherever I get it so I was pleasantly surprised by a few elements of Pi. The pies, for example...I tried the Zaatar pie...honestly it was not much more then a thick, airy, freshly made pita with Zataar and olive oil on it...but it's sometimes the simplest things which delight. The Zaatar pie delighted. I tried the Lebanese red wine (I mean, when in a Lebanese restaurant, why not?) And it stood up to any red I'd had anywhere else. The Tabouleh (one of my Mediterranean standards) was fresh made, filling, and a nice companion to the heavier Zaatar pie. It was awfully nice, and unexpected, to get complimentary baklava at the end of the meal...2 generous sized pieces which were pretty indulgent and eliminated the need to get (and pay for) dessert there or anywhere else. Service was lovely...the manager or owner took care of us and made us feel he was truly grateful that we were there. It's also a hookah spot...so if you're not into that vibe or smoke of any kind, (I'm not really) you'll definitely smell that anywhere you are in the restaurant, even if you're not seated next to those using hookahs. If you've got a hankering for Mediterranean...especially a place that has some unique things not at other Mediterranean spots, definitely give Pi on Sunset a shot.

I'm honestly so disappointed in the lunch that was ordered for us today. A group of us didn't bring…read morefood because we were told lunch would be provided. Unfortunately, it was a complete letdown. The sandwich was extremely unappetizing. The bread was soggy and falling apart, and the filling looked and tasted like it had been sitting out way too long. It didn't feel fresh at all, and several of us couldn't even finish it. The fries were even worse, they tasted stale, like they were at least a day or two old, and had that chewy, reheated texture instead of being crispy. Definitely not something anyone would want to eat.

The outdoor space was absolutely beautiful and the perfect setting to celebrate with my closest friends and family. We did a family-style brunch, and let me tell you, they did not miss. We started with the arugula salad, Louisiana shrimp aguachile, and cream biscuits. Those biscuits? Listennnn. Order them. Fight over them if you have to. lol They were THAT good! For the main dishes, we shared the French toast, chilaquiles, and shrimp and grits, along with house-made bacon and butterball potatoes. The French toast and bacon were my favorites by far. My goodness. I am still thinking about them. The shrimp and grits were also perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. What made me laugh was that our group is usually very chatty. There was so much talking, catching up, and laughing. Then the food arrived and suddenly all you heard were forks and spoons hitting plates followed by a bunch of "mmm," "oh wow," and "girl! you've got to try this." That's when you know the food is doing its job. Our server was amazing and took such great care of us. Everything came out smoothly, and we never felt rushed. Between the beautiful setting, incredible food, and being surrounded by people I love, it was one of those afternoons I'll always remember. I'll absolutely be back, and those biscuits and French toast will be the first things I order.

wow. truly one of the best dining experiences i've had. the service was amazing from start to end…read moreand the food was just as exceptional. despite everything being amazing, i have to highlight my favorite bites of this night. the tuna taku handroll was truly one of the best things i've ever eaten, i can't stop thinking about it. the crunch of the radish with the soft, fresh tuna was heaven. the concept of fresh nori gives both a nice interactive experience to the item, while keeping the seaweed nice and fresh for each bite. i genuinely would come back to eat a whole meal of only this. i'm also someone who would not even give a second of consideration to a single item costing more than $50 but the hikari don was truly so worth it and i have told all my friends they have to try it. i even mention multiple times that i can't wait to go back to get it. everything is just so incredibly fresh and of great quality. the miso clam chowder was a first for me and i didn't expect much from it but i thoroughly enjoyed having that clam chowder satisfaction while being so light at the same time. the flavor was so refreshing and balanced. what a unique combination. i need to go back asap. i will go back. i love this place so much, most possibly one of the best restaurants i've tried. mirrors quality i've had in japan, which is such a high point for me as everyone around me knows how much i loved japan especially for the food.

The presentation is beautiful, and the ingredients taste fresh. I especially enjoyed the specialty sushi and seafood dishes. While the flavors were good overall, I'd rate the food around 8/10--creative and satisfying, though a few dishes leaned a bit heavy on the sauces, which covered some of the natural seafood flavor. What really stood out was the service. Every staff member was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming throughout the meal. Overall, a great place if you're looking for modern Japanese cuisine with large portions and excellent hospitality. I'd happily come back to try more items on the menu.

The meal was largely a success .. a couple of misses that coulda brought me down.. but the highs were so high.. they made up for the missteps. Service. Hostess was super friendly and welcoming. Somethings they can be not so much.. but she was just lovely The actual service was friendly. But like some other reviewers said.. maybe they were a bit over whelmed. I'd label the service and friendly functional. The waiter said we ordered the perfect amount of food. I'd say we ordered 1 too many items. Scallop crudo: a lovely starter. It came really quick after ordering. We were sitting at the cold bar so could see these getting prepped. Drizzled with ground pistachio and a citrus oil. Simple. But delicious. Over priced a bit at $23. Maybe. It was delicious. Who cares Peaches and farmers cheese. Wow o wow did this dish sing. It was just light and lovely. Just the way I love to eat THE cornbread. Could it live up to the HYPE?!? Yes. Oh yes. It borders on being under baked.. ours actually prolly was a bit. But it just makes it that much moist The outside is crispy. Inside moist. It was the single best bite I have had in years. I am in love All is good in the world with this cornbread Tomato Caesar. Our meal took a dip here after three unbelievably fantastic dishes. Were they fine. Yes. The toppings were so strong. I really couldn't taste tomato. While these look great, I'd say skip this dish. Order the green salad instead Next the steak : at $149. I was hoping for greatness. It mostly was. I took a the middle slice and it was great. Our bone marrow was a bit stingy. Only had enough for two slices. But it definitely enhances the steak! As we ate from the middle out. (Animals I know). It bacame apparent that everything but the middle slice was over cooked (ordered medium rare). This steak was cooked medium. So much so the outer 1/3s are dry. A bit disappointing for $150 steak. The server never solicited feedback on the food as it was served, even when we asked to box up half the steak. As they cleared plates.. we did get a "how was it,". Bit not a real check in as to how our food was The mashed potatoes were perfection. I did add some salt that was served with the steak to them as they were slightly....just slightly under seasoned. But still. These are pretty perfect mashed potatoes. We topped it off with cobbler (peach blackberry). It was great. And a small scoop of $9 ice cream .. cookies and cream. I'd skip this favor. Too much cookie. Not enough cream. Al in all. A really wonderful meal. The steak, even though it wasn't cooked perfectly . Was still delicious. That cornbread does live up to the hype. It is my best bite of the year for sure We have reservations again next week. I'm already looking forward to it!

Dunsmoor (Glassell Park) Review…read more Overall: 4/5 Ambience: 4/5 The restaurant has a great atmosphere, but it was extremely loud and very crowded inside. It made it a little difficult to relax and have a conversation. Service: 3/5 The staff was friendly, but they seemed overwhelmed. The restaurant was packed, and it felt like they accepted more guests than they could comfortably handle. It took quite a while for someone to take our drink order, and the food also took a long time to arrive. Noise Level: Very loud Food: 4/5 The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing, and the food quality is there. That said, it feels like Dunsmoor has reached "hipster hype" status, where the buzz may be a little bigger than the overall experience. I'd definitely go back, though, because there are still several appetizers I'd like to try. What We Ordered: - Chicken Liver - 5/5: Absolutely delicious. The rich chicken liver paired perfectly with their incredible sourdough bread. - Green Chile Stew - 5/5: Outstanding. It was packed with large, tender chunks of pork, and the fresh flour tortillas were amazing. - Trout - 3/5: The biggest disappointment of the meal. While the fish was meaty and cooked well, it lacked flavor and felt very basic. - Famous Cornbread - 4/5: Good, but it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. Final Thoughts: Dunsmoor serves some excellent food, especially the chicken liver and green chile stew, but the overall experience was held back by the long waits and noisy dining room. I can see why it's so popular, but I think some of the excitement is driven by hype. Even so, I'd come back to explore more of the menu.

I'm sure I would have been happy with the pancakes, but so glad I opted for the linguine. The pasta was perfectly cooked and it was a bright and tasty dish with a slight citrus zest. Such a fun dish to eat. Especially in the morning where I was able to enjoy with a nice cappuccino. Definitely a place I would like to come back and enjoy with another person or a small group.

At the same time, we took advantage of the lovely views of the neighborhood on one side and the beautiful interior of the bar as a centerpiece on the other. Whether having drinks or a meal, this was the perfect setting. Each person on staff was very welcoming and enthusiastic, and they hit the right notes in terms of helping to set the atmosphere. We were recommended the sticky Japanese sweet potato and informed that the skewers would also be delicious and filling. The king salmon skewer and glazed pork belly skewers were indeed amazing. It was obvious that each culinary item was treated with great attention to detail. For me personally, the shoyu, pickled daikon, and rhubarb on the pork belly truly created that perfect bite. Needless to say, I cannot wait for my next trek to the magnificent Checker Hall.

Vale has a charm that's hard to miss - the aesthetics are on point, creating a pleasant ambiance perfect for a relaxed evening out. The decor is top-notch, exuding a modern and chic vibe. However, when it comes to the hookah, it left something to be desired. While the variety was extensive, the quality didn't quite match up. The flavors lacked the robustness and smoothness I was hoping for. Despite the hookah not being the best, the overall experience was enjoyable, thanks to the cozy seating, great music, and friendly staff. It's a solid choice if you prioritize ambiance and socializing over the hookah quality. read more

Vale Lounge has solid hookah and a chill vibe, which makes it a good spot to relax. The atmosphere is laid-back, and it's a nice place to hang out with friends. That said, the service leaves a lot to be desired. Even on a slow night, it took almost an hour for a simple order of fries, which was frustrating. The staff also gives off a vibe like you're bothering them, which doesn't exactly make you feel welcome. If you're coming just for hookah, it's a good choice. But if you're expecting great service or quick food, you might want to manage your expectations. read more
