It's safe to say that I love food. I've drove miles and miles for burgers, yes freaking burgers! I find pleasure in scanning through the numerous restaurants on Yelp. I try avoiding being a creature of habit so trying new places is something I love to do.  I've had some hits and misses but I would love to share with you some of my favorite restaurants in the Valley. Well, some of these aren't my ABSOLUTE favorite but definitely worth the try.

Red Moon Lounge: Possibly the best Mediterranean Food I've had. I ordered through UberEats so I've never actually been in the store to tell you about their service. ( I think they serve hookah as well). There basmati rice is so creamy and delicious and the chicken kabob is so soft and tasty. You get huge portions as well.

Kahuna Tiki: This is a fusion Hawaiian/ Japanese restaurant. Although I hate fusion restaurants this one is interesting. I highly recommend their Po Boy Sandwich which is a battered shrimp on a baguette topped with spicy mayo. This is the ONLY thing I would go for. The rest of the menu us ok, it's nothing amazing but this sandwich is literally everything!

Blu Jam Cafe: Their French Toast is amazing! I think they put it in some type of batter that makes it super DUPER crispy! I got their Egg Benedict, which was ok (nothing too special). Their potatoes have an awkward taste, it's bitter but also spicy?? However, I think you should defff try it out!.

More Than Waffles: I've only been to this place once and it was back when I was in high school so it's been a long time coming! But I still can remember the sweet, warm taste of their waffles. They have a variety of toppings and you can also create your own!

JOE PEEPS: Oh gosh besides my favorite pizza place, Fresh Brother's, this is the 2nd best pizza joint (IMO). Their pizza is so delicious and they have a variety of different toppings. They load on your pizzas with these toppings, which can also be bad at the same time, but something about it makes my mouth water!

AYCE Gogi: I typically venture to K-Town for some Korean BBQ but Ayce Gogi is also pretty good. There are a lot of side dish that you can get with the all you can eat option. ( Although they reduced the selection theres still a variety to pick from) The meat is marinated, not as great as some of the ones I've tried in K-Town but it's still pretty food.

Johnny Pacific: This small little restaurant serves the BEST Empanadas in the valley. They have so many different options and I can say right now that you will not regret it! Their sauces are also amazing! ( It wouldn't be rated LA's #1 Empanadas for nothing lol )

Big Fish Japanese Cuisine: Simply, their sushi is BOMB. The atmosphere is dreary but don't let that deter you from trying their food. Food is amazing, but service kinda lacks but either way the food makes up for the service. Try the  fisherman pizza, it is so good!

veStation: Delicious Thai vegetarian food! They have fresh rolls (Buddha Rolls)  that are very delicious. I go for the roti curry dip, which is my favorite from their menu. They have meat substitutes and their curries are pretty good as well.

Cafe de Olla: Although they serve American breakfast foods I would just get the Mexican food. My favorite is their tacos platter, which includes 3 tacos rice and beans. Let me tell you something, I am secretly obsessed with Spanish rice. Something about it just taste so good and Cafe de Olla, NAILED it. Try it out!

CAVA: There are a few locations, I think one is in USC or UCLA but they have one in The Village in Topanga. This place is like the Mediterranean Chipotle. They have falafels, different types of meat and sauces. All just soooo good and flavorful.
