The best food in the valley, and this little gem is the best kept secret in Los Angeles. Quality food, great service and a charming owner. This is also a low key hot spot for celebrities. Romantic and at the same time great place to bring the kids.

More 2 years ago
What is there not to like about their chicken. It is THE BEST FRIED (broasted) CHICKEN in CALIFORNIA. First, let me explain what broasted means. It means that it was cooked (fried) in a pressurized cooker for maximum flavor. It has to be most flavorful chicken that you will ever taste. It is fried, but never dry. It is tender and juicy 100% of the time due to pressurized cooking. Now you may ask how I know so much about their cooking method. You may think that I own the place and am looking for free publicity. Wrong. I used to work at Ambers Chicken in Grananda Hills 25 years ago. And I swear it on a stack of bible that the taste hasn't changed abit. My job recently relocated me to Encino. We cater in lunches every weekend. I was told by one of my co-worker that I was about to taste the best chicken in the world. Long story short, when I found out that we catered from Ambers I just about flipped out. I didn't know that they still had the Encino store open. One in Granada Hills has been closed for a long time. Anyways, if you are a fan of fried chicken, you must try Ambers. You will never be disappointed. Just remember that they do not cook their chicken until you order it, so the smart ones like myself always call in my order in advance so by the time I get there I can just pick up my order and be on my way to enjoy the best tasting chicken I've ever tasted. I usually have couple pieces while I am driving because the aroma will drive you crazy. I wish I can give you another place that I can compare it to, but there are none. Ambers is the BEST. JC
Pros: Great taste everytime.
Cons: Compared to other chicken places, it is bit more pricier. Keep in mind, you get what you paid for.

The chicken that I had in all the entrees was more tender than any Ive ever had. I especially enjoy the Wor Wonton soup. Even that chicken is soft and not boiled like some others out there. The delivery guys was here in 45 minutes the other night and Ive been having consistently good quality for 3 years now.

I had ordered a selection of platters for a Super Bowl Party. The platters were ready on time, a very nice presentation and most importantly, the food was fresh and outstanding. I had been to this restaurant many times before and knew that their salads, pastas, hamburgers and combinations were great choices. Now, I will only go here for my catering and not to those "famous" overpriced delis.
Pros: Fresh & Tasty food. You can eat in or take out without breaking the bank.
Cons: None

About @ the last week of August my family and I were here @ Tony Roma's. The seating was prompt as well as the service. The food was awesome. I had the grilled chicken salad. that was really good. I liked how it was prepared. When my kids are with my husband & I , I'll taste test their food. My daughter had the santa fe chipotle salad. that was also good. My son had the chicken alfredo and that I'll tell you was better than the shrimp alfredo he had from johnnie's new york pizzeria. My husband had the combo plate which he thought was excellent. Here at Tony Roma's, the service was good the food was good the ambience was good..... everything was good. I rate this restaurant more than five stars. IT'S A 10.
Pros: 2 THUMBS UP.

Go here hungry. They serve fresh carrot salad and various cabbage salads before the dinner. The entrees are large-- stuffed cabbage was tomato-y and savory, served with lentils and rice and israeli salad. The salads are really filling-- cucumber, tomato, very light lemon vinaigrette dressing. I am always so stuffed, I never even get to dessert. i feel as if i am having shabbat with a real Israeli family. LOVE IT. a tip: go there dressed well. my boyfriend and i went after mountain biking once, and felt like we degraded the place. nevertheless, it's the best place to go after working out and long as you look sharp.
Pros: Fresh veggie appetizers, large entrees, parking available
Cons: Not as casual as you'd expect

I love this place. Their prices are amazing. $28 for All you can eat dinner and $19 for all you can eat during lunch. Their fish is always fresh and the staff is very nice. And they also have an patio area.
Pros: Always fresh fish and great prices

I should probably invest in this restaurant as much as I eat here. Great service and great food! I love the grilled chicken pita and the salad and rice that come with making it a plate always taste awesome. The pita bread is sooo good and their salad dressing is also very tasty. Parking can be a bit of a challenge if you go during peak times like lunch or dinner since it's in a shopping center. But I never mind driving around to look when I know I'm gonna eat some really great food which is something hard to find in LA being from the East Coast.
Pros: Great Food, Great Service
Cons: Parking can be a challenge

Jerry's always brings me back to a halcyon time when my credit card bills went to my parents... high school. I have been frequenting the encino Jerry's for years and it consistently delivers fine deli fare. The Mazo brie is my favorite. The soups, deli sandwiches and even the salads are good.
Pros: never-ending menu, late hours
Cons: expensive for a deli
