50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Buena Park

“SO GOOD! Such a refreshing/healthy drinks. Their shaved ice, yogurt drinks and blended smoothies are amazing.

I end up buying like several blueberry, peach, mango drinks to go as well. Great drinks especially in the morning or when it’s super hot.“

“Accident service fast hardly no wait time to be served highly recommended“

“We had a blast it was great for date night and hung out with friends“

“Am very satisfied with there meals 😋😋😋🤤🤤“

“One of the best inari sushi spots I've tried! Everything tasted amazing, the portions were generous, and the prices were hard to beat. The staff made us feel so welcome with their friendly service. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. You won't be disappointed!“

“The younger guy working the register was super kind and helpful. Explained which buns to get and what drinks were good. I got a squid ink hotdog bun and it was the best hotdog bread I’ve had. We also got a large strawberry cake and it was delicious and light.“

“Han Yang is good. It’s also wonderfully old school. Nothing about the place feels particularly interested in being redesigned for Instagram, which I appreciate. You come here for Korean comfort food, metal dishes of banchan, enormous bowls of soup and stone pots hot enough to continue cooking your dinner while you eat it. And that stone pot is where I’d start.

The gondre dolsot bibimbap was fantastic. Gondre is Korean thistle and here it gets worked through the rice with the egg, seaweed and everything else until the whole thing becomes earthy, savory and deeply satisfying. But the best part comes underneath. Leave it alone long enough and the rice against the stone develops that beautiful scorched crust, nurungji, which you eventually scrape loose and mix back through everything.

That combination of the greens, sesame, egg and crispy rice is ridiculously good. There are dishes you finish because you’re hungry and dishes where you keep digging around the bottom of the bowl because you’re convinced there must be another good piece hiding somewhere. This was the latter.

The galbitang was more complicated for me. The beef itself was excellent. Generous pieces, tender, falling easily from the bone and soft enough that our kids loved it. Plenty of green onion, too. My issue was the broth. I prefer galbitang on the restrained side so I can decide where it goes from there. Same reason I like seolleongtang arriving almost defiantly plain, give me the broth and let me dress it up myself with salt, saeujeot or whatever else I want.

Han Yang has already made those decisions for you. The galbitang broth was noticeably sweet and salty and eventually it became a little much for me. That’s preference as much as criticism, plenty of people will probably love it exactly as it arrives. I just wanted the volume turned down.

The banchan was similarly mixed but mostly good. The napa kimchi was solid and nicely balanced. The kkakdugi was particularly good. The mustard greens, however, were ferociously sour. I like fermented food. These had me physically wincing.

The dipping sauce for the galbi was excellent, though and I kept going back to it. Rice was average and a little dry. It did its job.

Service was good and the whole experience was easy. The room itself has some age on it, tables are fairly close together and depending on where you’re seated you may find yourself with a commanding view of the bathroom door. Nobody has ever requested the chef’s table at the restroom, but here we are.

Somehow I don’t particularly mind any of it. Han Yang feels like a restaurant that knows what it is. It isn’t polished into anonymity. People are here eating giant bowls of soup, mixing rice in scorching stone pots and getting on with their lives. And when a restaurant can put something as good as that gondre bibimbap in front of me, I can forgive a dry bowl of rice and a bathroom with excellent sightlines.

Absolutely coming back. And next time, I’m getting that bibimbap again.“

“Food was decent but was disappointed to find some bacon in one of my burritos 10 years ago I would have thought it was a good bonus but I've been vegetarian for 10 years so it was a bummer and the burritos were a little small but over all everything I ordered was good“

“My family & I love this place! The food is delicious & they have kim chi fried rice & other items some place don’t offer. The staff is also super nice & you get free delicious ice cream! We’ve eaten at other places & it doesn’t come close to here . The price is so good in comparison too!“

“I recently visited Myungin Dumpling Buena Park and wow… the dumplings were absolutely amazing.
What really surprised me though was the fried chicken — I honestly didn’t expect much, but it turned out to be just as good (if not better!). Super crispy, flavorful, and seriously addictive.
Also… apologies for the lack of photos. I didn’t even think about it before digging in — I just couldn’t wait to get everything in my mouth!
On top of that, the service attendants were incredibly friendly, which made the whole experience even better.
Definitely coming back again!“

“Good food and service……..“

“This is THE spot for gamja tang in the OC. The soup base here is spot on. It's just so savory and smooth and flavorful. The steamed pork cabbage wraps are to die for. And our family's favorite dish is their potatoe pancakes! It's one off the most delicious thing you'll ever eat! I love that the had Sunkist grape soda today, which was the cherry on top!“

“Not only the gomtang (beef bone soup) but all the other dishes here are delicious, too. We ordered the budae-jjigae (army base stew); the portion was generous, and it tasted great.
And the server was so friendly. We had an even better time thanks to the server who took care of us.“

“Husband loves their Laos blend coffee. Me I am hot Spanish latte girl or you can’t go wrong with the Madagascar vanilla latte.“

“I love the drinks from here, they have great and consistent quality matcha. However, the customer service does feel a little cold at times. Definitely look at the menu before hand, they seem annoyed when you take your time deciding what you want.“

“I recently visited Haru Sushi, a to-go sushi spot that offers an exceptional experience in both taste and value for money. I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars.The most compelling aspect of Haru Sushi is its remarkable value for the quality of taste. The sushi, made with fresh ingredients and the craftsmanship of seasoned sushi chefs, melts delightfully in your mouth, providing a joyful experience with every bite. The ability to enjoy various kinds of sushi at a reasonable price was particularly satisfying for me, someone who prioritizes good value.However, my nearly perfect experience at Haru Sushi came with a slight inconvenience. The establishment only accepts cash and not credit cards. In today's society, where digital payments have become the norm, the need to prepare cash in advance could be seen as a minor nuisance. Nevertheless, this small inconvenience is easily outweighed by the exceptional taste and value offered by Haru Sushi.In conclusion, Haru Sushi stands out as a to-go sushi spot for its excellent taste and value for money. While the inability to use credit cards is a downside, the quality and price certainly make up for it. I am fully inclined to revisit Haru Sushi whenever the opportunity arises. I highly recommend Haru Sushi to anyone looking to enjoy delicious sushi at a reasonable price.“

“I ordered a custom cake for a birthday and loved it! The price was really reasonable, and the cake was delicious. The cream inside was really good too. They have lots of different designs to choose from, and you can also add your own message to the cake. I ordered a few days ahead and pickup was super quick and easy. Definitely recommend!“

“Such good bagels 🥯 .... Opened early 👋👋👋🇵🇭“

“Muy buenos los tacos se los recomiendo“

“shop workers are very nice and helpful. i originally went for photoism, but the cookies and cream boba slush that i bought was perfectly proportioned and well blended. the boba was warm and was not hard to chew. prices like these are so rare! (ps. paying with cash better than card)“

“Excelente servicio, un café de olla riquísimo, gracias 🙏“

“Had a lovely dinner here the other night with my friend, and the service we received was top notch! Eva was sweet, warm, and attentive, and also made an excellent recommendation for the mentaiko udon, which we really enjoyed. While some menu items are pricier these days (inflation really got us), my friend and I were able to share two entrees and an appetizer for $60 between us (before tip).

Docking a star for the overall score since it was really jarring to see AI ads for the government playing in the background on FOX, especially when the overall ambiance of the place is meant to invoke an intimate, darker environment of an izakaya.“

“Great place. Wonderful presentation. Awesome ambiance. Everything you need when you want yo have a relaxing quiet time!!!!“

“A friend of mine and I love to get bagels together every so often, so we decided to visit this place. This place has one of the best bagels that I have ever had! Their bagels are light yet larger than your typical grocery bagel, but you don't feel so dense by the end of eating one of their sandwiches. I got their egg, sausage, and cheese sandwich on a wheat bagel, and it was DELICIOUS! I also got an iced blended spiced chai which I HIGHLY recommend. Really recommend this place if you want a filling and delicious breakfast!“

“So sad that the locations in Torrance and Cerritos closed down but I’m so happy this one is still open. The raspberry donuts are my personal favorite because they have the tartness of the actual raspberry and it’s not just artificial tasting. It is a little sweet but I would say more tart than anything. The coffee is also super delicious.“

“Cafe Bleu Bakery is always my go to neighborhood bakery. Their breads bring me comfort from my childhood. My favorites are the red velvet castella and the mocha roll. Their banana latte is phenomenal! The workers are also always responsive and friendly. The cafe area is also always clean for diners.“

“Wow, why did I wait so long to come here?

We tried all five meat selections, and the salad bar had so many options—everything was fresh and delicious. Lunch also included one ice cream bar per person and coffee.

For only $29.99 per person, it felt like an incredible value. The servers were also incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Great food, great service, and a fantastic lunch deal. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Oct 2025
I've visited this location a few times, usually in the middle of a northern CA - southern CA road trip.
Fun breads and snacks. Creative scones and cookies flavors and yummy chubby cheesecake. Signage is easy to read.

Super friendly staff.
There's a quiet seating area inside and a fun patio seating area outside.
Will definitely visit again.“

“yummy 🤤 yummy 🤤 yummy 🤤 yummy“

“The chef is quiet and to himself but a mater at his art. Damn his food is good. Bertha his mom I believe runs the front and she’s personable, kind and attentive. Again, never had such decadent and beautifully cooked eggs like I have here!“

“first timer… menu prices scared me but then I saw the huge portions. Was not familiar with many of the dishes but the waiter was very helpful. Had a great dinner… deliciously flavorful and satisfying. Will be back!“

“Scrumptious delicious 🤤 yummy“

“great food. very nice staff. food was fast and wonderful! only togo on indoor eating right now.“

““Don Melt is one of the best plant-based, dairy free ice cream places I’ve been to. The desserts were excellent, and the customer service was truly above and beyond. Anne and Vanessa were especially outstanding. They were welcoming, attentive, and took the time to educate me on many of the flavors, which made the experience feel thoughtful and personal.

Honestly, the level of service felt better than Chick fil A and Disney combined. Their care, professionalism, and hospitality made a lasting impression, and they absolutely deserve recognition for it. It is rare to find a place that offers both high quality dairy free options and service at this level.

I highly recommend Don Melt to anyone looking for a dessert spot with great plant based options and exceptional customer care. This is definitely a place people should come check out.”“

“Delicious. But it is attached to a car wash and you can literally smell the sewage drain when standing at the order window. Little to no seating and not very well kept outside. If not for the absolutely superb ice cream treats I would never come back.“

“My son and I dined here for breakfast. We both had the American breakfast, eggs, bacon and toast. The eggs were good, mine over easy and my son liked his scrambled. The toast was good as were the potatoes. The OJ was also good. We enjoyed it so much we both had the same breakfast the second day.“

“I was always passing by and never stopped to try their goods, and i regretted not coming before, they have good drinks and the sandwiches are worth to give them a try, i liked the bulgogi option and the ham and cheese. The price is fair and the staff is very polite and courteous not mentioning the cleanliness of the location.“

“If you never have had an opportunity to try a Filipino Halo-halo, this place is worth the try. In speaking with one of the owners, the milk they use is non dairy for this dessert. I was relieved to hear that I would be saved from digestion issues after having this sweet treat. They are still in grand opening mode, so be kind on those kinks they need to straighten out.
They have a kiosk to order appetizers and main entrees like noodles, fried rice and other hot dishes.
Drop by and try out the drinks and desserts, especially on a hot day.
Please support small businesses because they support the community.

“Had breakfast buffet here two days in a row. Service crew is outstanding, friendly and attentive. The classics are available incl biscuits and gravy. I liked the fresh fruit and the two available scrambled eggs (reg and Denver) especially. Great food quality (fresh eggs) at my time of visit.“

“Very tasty brunch!! All fresh!!“

“Close to home - easy commute - friendly shop, weekend frenzy - good for business“

“Good stuff lunch or dinner“

“Someone brought a box to my office and I ate the mocha bread among the many breads. It was really delicious. I think it's better than the nearby 8 Daeng. It’s not too sweet and the bread feels moist! I recommend it to anyone who likes mocha bread like me.“

“Love the little machine to order and call servers! makes the experience super smooth!! the portions are HUGE get ready to eat lots!!! If you’re sensitive to spicy i recommend to go the mild way… we ordered the original and girl… it was a struggle but a fun struggle with friends!“

“Quaint little sit down restaurant inside Ghost Town. We ordered the Roasted Chicken Dinner with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies. The roasted drumsticks and thigh were very moist and flavorful. However, the large chicken breast was dry and hard. My teen ordered the Ghost Town Burger with French fries and said it was dry, needed thousand island or a moist beef patty. Fries were crunchy (dry but had good seasoning).“

“Nancy's is unassuming, a hole-in-the-wall kind of place. I can't believe it took a long time to visit. I've dropped in a couple of times already and enjoyed my meals. They have a local feel when you walk inside.

There is a little bit of a wait, and I think they make the food to order, so it's hot and fresh when you receive it. I recommend that if you plan to take out, call ahead to place your order to save time.

They are known for their pupusas, which I got on my first visit. I was curious after reading some of the positive reviews. I ordered the revuelta and chicken with cheese. Both had great flavors and would consider getting them again.

The flavorful, crispy empanadas were among my favorites. I got the carne (beef) and spinach with cheese empanadas and loved them. The perfectly fried shell and flavorful filling.

Their Salvadoran tamales are prepared in the traditional style, with a flavorful filling and soft, moist masa, wrapped in banana leaves rather than corn husks. I love Mexican-style tamales (especially homemade), so this was a new experience trying Salvadoran-style tamales.

I think most people will order takeout, but there's a moderately sized dining area with tables. It has a local feel and a pleasant atmosphere. The staff was kind and provided great service. The prices are fair for the quality of the food.

I still can't believe I waited this long to visit Nancy's. I can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu.

Note:
There is a little charge for using credit cards, so cash would be better if you want to avoid the CC charge.“

“Great food! Forgot what a fresh burger taste like 😊“

“The portions for the noodles are massive, you get so much meat. I would say the beef in the noodle dish was a little salty and I preferred the chicken. They had ran out of chicken and the lovely lady gave us the leftover chicken which I thought was very sweet.“

“Chai tea latte is the best“

“me encanta servicio y comidas“
