We Love This Place

by mkstansbery at Citysearch

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!

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
