My preferred vendors and services

Auto maintenance

Northridge Service

Light duty towing and recovery- 24 hours/day
20962 Itasca St

I have been using them for years. They service my 1999 VW beetle and 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser. Their service is always perfect. I have recommended them to many people, and everybody's been very happy with them. Talk to Dave, tell them I sent you.

Food

Weinie Bakery

9250 Reseda Blvd #10
Northridge, CA 91324
(818) 886-7331

Yumi will not buy cakes for birthday parties, weddings, etc. from anywhere else. They do an outstanding job and are courteous, prompt, and make delicious cakes. I am French and Yumi is Japanese, and we say they are delicious. Also, get their an-pan when you're in there. Great snacks. We've been using them for more than 10 years. Never had a bad experience. Not once.

Ramen Nippon

6900 Reseda Blvd #D
Reseda, CA 91335
(818) 345-5946

I call it the Noodle Place, and I go there as often as I can. Yumi used to work there many many years ago. I've taken my dad, mom, sisters, friends.

I've been going there since 1995. I think I've eaten negi ramen more than 200 times. I recommend gomoku yakisoba (with white vinegar and mustard).

They even tolerate viggo! Sugoi!
