26 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Aliso Viejo

“Solid lunch spot after spending enough time at tj maxx. I always get the grilled steak or Caesar wrap, and urban plates has been very consistent with their food quality. Erika and Luis were incredibly kind and patience. Would come back when I'm in the area!“

“Rarely do I find a restaurant where I want to try everything on the menu!! My friends and I had lunch here a few weeks ago; a few had been there before and they loved it. I was excited to try it. I ordered the Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpeas Bowl with added protein of grilled shrimp. It was absolutely delicious and so fresh…the shrimp was done perfectly. We also shared the cauliflower and dates appetizer. I was a little skeptical at first about the interesting combination, but they were fantastic…and addicting! I liked the overall atmosphere of the restaurant and the service was excellent too. My husband and I will be dining there tonight, and he is excited because there are several GF items he can try. I highly recommend this restaurant for their fresh and delicious foods!“

“I don’t think I’ve ever loved a restaurant as much as I love this place. The food is absolutely beyond amazing and their chips and salsa are to die for. I probably come here at least once a week and I’ve never gotten sick of it nor will I ever.“

“Saffron Bakery is easily the best bakery in the neighborhood. The baked goods are outstanding, especially the insanely flaky croissants, rich savory pastries, and fresh, high-quality bread made with excellent ingredients you can actually taste. Everything is baked fresh and the textures and flavors are consistently perfect.

Their breakfast and lunch options are just as good, filling, flavorful, and made with the same level of care. On top of that, the prices are incredibly fair for the quality.

The owner is genuinely kind and welcoming.“

“Traveling with my partner and mother-in-law who are gluten free and also allergic to dairy we’re always looking for places that have a labeled menu or can give good options. The waiter helped us find a couple of great options (goat curry, Chana masala, and mint chicken) which were great!“

“​I've had a lot of sushi in Orange County, and this spot is one of the best—and the price is right. The high-quality food, the location, and the fantastic staff all make this place a winner. Tom and his wife are an absolute delight.

​I highly recommend the Poki bowl. This place was serving up poki bowls long before they were on every corner. The quality is so much better, and you get way more fish. It's a must-try.“

“Buen servicio de Alex 👍🏼 y la comida muy rica“

“People probably come to this restaurant for the donkatsu, but they absolutely have one of the best chicken bowls here! Crispy yet tender, it’s perfectly done. The owner is also incredibly nice and welcoming with a warm smile. We tried the spicy rice cake skewer, and it tasted just like the ones I had in Korea. I highly recommend their handmade matcha ice cream — it’s rich, sweet, and absolutely delicious! 사장님이 친절하시고 모든음식이 양도 많고 맛있어요!“

“Very good coffee above corporate level, coffee institutions.“

“Food is really good :) is well located and prices are reasonable for the area“

“This place is a hidden gem. 10/10 would eat again. The food is great. The staff are friendly. There are a TON of choices for drinks and sides (bottled drinks and individual chip bags). Large enough menu for both lunch and breakfast and they have rotating daily specials. They will be happy to make you a lunch time sandwich even at 8am.Can’t compliment this place enough. If you are in the area and want a quick and easy breakfast/lunch this is the place!“

“Adamantium Steel Band!! Great Music!!🎉🎉🎉“

“Reading the writings of its founder, Daisaku Ikeda, gave me the seeking spirit to see the Soka University up close. Ikeda gave SU to America. It is the only Soka University outside of Japan. Another reason for recommending it is the aesthetic appeal of surrounding ... the scenery is awe-inspiring.“

“Wow, what a find! The team at Chop Stop went above and beyond to accommodate my dairy allergy. They listened and reassured me they understood- they made me feel completely safe eating here. That kind of care is so special, thank you! Also, the food was fresh and delicious. I’m so happy to have finally found another place I can eat without worry. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“My lovely Lea and I live in Abilene, 200 miles away from Coco's in Frisco. We visit on AVERAGE every three weeks! Yes it's THAT good and WELL worth the trip! We usually grab six to go orders. We do enjoy eating there but we have a HUGE bucket list of eateries to check out too. Coco's in Frisco is the one place we ALWAYS stop at though and everything is perfect every time! I guarantee you will love it!“

“Fresh, tasty, great combination of flavors and options on both salads and sammies. The natural sodas are a nice touch. Gotta try a cookie!💛 Staff has been consistently courteous and responsive. I’ve been three times. I CRAVE their salads.“

“Outstanding service, polite servers, breathtaking meals, and more! ♥️♥️“

“Tried their new signature udon and loved it — the noodles were perfectly chewy with great texture, and the broth was flavorful (I wouldn’t mind a bit more of it!). The restaurant is bright, clean, and well-organized with a fast, efficient ordering system. No long lines and an overall great dining experience.“

“I don’t get why this place doesn’t have more people come in , owner is really friendly, food is amazing especially the chicken pad Thai and coconut curry. It has the vibe and atmosphere of such a homey and comforting place; I only get this food as comfort and every single time it guarantees me that I feel better. Such an amazing low-key gem thay I hope more people discover“

“One of the best coffee shops in Orange county, and by far the friendliest service ever. Plenty of drinks to choose from, would a good selection of pastries. I highly recommend the turmeric bread. Heat it up and tell me this isn't the best loaf of bread you've had! I always get the (hot) ambrosia, medium cream and sugar.“

“Love this place! Great burgers and fantastic cocktails. The best part about Eureka is the staff!!!“

“Nékter in Aliso is faster, cheaper, and much more customer friendly than any of the other Nékters in OC! As I was running in to get a juice, this morning, I accidentally dropped my reusable cup and the rim broke off. The darling sales associate firmly told me that they wanted to replace it, for free (sweetly waving away my protests that it was my fault for dropping my old one). They even gave me the $.50 reusable cup discount on my juice. Thank you, for brightening my day!!“

“Hello again I hope you are understanding how good the food is ! 😊“

“Good beer selection and dog friendly.“

“Fantastic selection of creative and refreshing drinks. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff make it a great spot to unwind and indulge in a sweet treat.“

“A staple!! I’m on the Keto Diet so I get protein style burgers and their salads are great to!!“
