We Love This Place

by mkstansbery

My husband and I don't go out often, and when we do, we want something really special. This place always fills the bill. I'm a respectable cook and when I go out, I like to experience new things and try food better than what I can create at home. The chef at Gorikee has never disappointed us. This friendly, casual restaurant is a great value and remains our neighborhood favorite.

• Pros: Creative, delicious food
• Cons: Atmosphere is much improved and no longer a "Con"

Strip mall eatery offers garlic flavors and pan-European cooking for hurried Valley diners.

In Short
Metal gating and a chalkboard of culinary specials greet arriving guests. White plastic chairs and cafe-style umbrellas line a modest patio area, while a casual dining room offers seating for large groups and lunchtime twosomes. With an emphasis on garlic, the menu features Eurasian flavors and health-conscious California cuisine including appetizers like garlic confit followed by a pear or crusted goat cheese salad. Entrees vary between land and sea with a wasabi rib-eye, garlic chicken and coconut curry shrimp.

Garlic Lovers Rejoice!

by jedi_king

For dining in the Warner Center area you really can't beat this place! Solid lunch and dinner menus at really amazing bargain prices. Friendly staff and a casual ambiance. Gorikee is tucked away in the corner of a large strip mall, but it is a true find. The Wimpy Burger is available only at lunch but is one of the best in the city and is served up with a large order of fries heavily seasoned with fried garlic. Other items really put the accent on garlic and all are enjoyable.

• Pros: great food, Very reasonable price, friendly staff
• Cons: none
