50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Buena Park

“My coworkers recommended this place and I finally stopped by on a weekday lunch. So glad I did!

It's a cute little spot tucked in a small plaza next to Atoyubu, with a few tables and bar seating. The owner greeted us right when we walked in.

I went with the plain thick yogurt bowl topped with honey drizzle, grapefruit, kiwi, and yuzu puree. My friend got hers with chocolate syrup, strawberry, mango, and mochi with granola on the side. Both were amazing.

The yogurt is honestly hard to describe...somewhere between ice cream and cream cheese, but lighter. Like Greek yogurt without any of the tanginess. It felt indulgent but still on the healthier side, which I really appreciated.

Some might say it's a bit pricey, but you really can't find anything like this elsewhere. The yuzu puree topping is an absolute must! I'll be getting that every time. Definitely coming back!“

“Starting with the food. I got the fresh salmon, popping salmon, fluffy egg, and grilled spicy pork. I liked the fluffy egg and grilled spicy pork the best.
Fresh salmon is alright. It is what it is with basically poke quality salmon. Light and refreshing.
Popping salmon has like sort of a buldak/rameny flavor for the marinade which I didn’t like but my partner liked. Not too spicy.
Grilled spicy pork is fairly typical dwaegi gogi, which i like so i’m a little biased. i thought it was good with the yubu. Plenty of pork marinade seeping through the rice. Not very spicy.
Fluffy egg did not have as much roe as the picture lead me to believe but it was good. It also had a few salmon roe for some reason but I liked it. Nice and savory. Egg was wet-ish and soft. nice.

Prices are fairly reasonable. I’d say 3-4 would be a pretty filling meal for the average person. about $5-7 each yubu after tax. I’ve never seen a yubu restaurant before. Vibes are kind of grab and go but they have a decent amount of seating for like groups of 4-5 maybe (like 3-4 tables)

Pretty okay neat looking modern place on the inside. I might try again if I was craving something in particular. I wanted to try the Garlic Butter Crab that other reviews were talking about.“

“Such a great find! The egg salad sandwich was very reasonably priced and tasted super fresh, honestly really good. We also tried one of their strawberry cakes and loved it. It wasn’t overly sweet at all, tasted incredibly fresh, and was loaded with strawberries. What really surprised me was the price, almost half of what you’d pay at Paris Baguette or Tous Les Jours for the same quality (if not better). All of the pastries tasted homemade, fresh, and perfectly balanced, not overly sugary. Definitely coming back!“

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

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

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

“Best galbitang I’ve ever had in my life in the world, including any that I’ve tried in Korea. Portions were great, service was great, prices very reasonable especially considering how California can be. 10/10 would recommend this place, super comforting food.“

“I came to Arc when they first opened and it was so so good. It’s been my go to spot every time I’m in the area and would highly recommend it. I always get the honey butter latte.Today I wanted to try the matcha since I’ve only gotten the honey butter latte before, so I ordered the earl gray matcha and it’s SO GOOD!! I get the drinks half sweet so I could enjoy them. Also, they sell tins of Rocky’s matcha powder. Definitely come to Arc if you’ve been wanting to try it out. Update I tried the coconut matcha as well, it’s yummy but I think next time I’d ask for it to not be a cloud matcha.“

“The gamjatang was absolutely delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the pork was tender and full of flavor. It was the perfect comfort food, especially on a cool day. I would definitely order it again.
And JJol noodle !!!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Myungin Dumplings – Buena Park’s Hidden Gem of Korean Comfort

If you find yourself anywhere near Buena Park, Myungin Dumplings is an absolute must-visit. This cozy Korean dumpling house delivers far more than a meal — it’s an experience of warmth, flavor, and care.

I ordered the steamed dumplings with sweet red bean and the steamed dumpling with pork and vegetables, and I’m still dreaming about them. Each order came with four softball-sized dumplings — massive, tender, and generously filled. These weren’t your average restaurant dumplings (which so often feel half-empty). Myungin’s dumplings are overflowing with rich, juicy filling that melts in your mouth. They were soft, pillowy, and as tender as 어머니의 사랑처럼 부드럽다 (a mother’s love).

To start, my table was presented with a spicy daikon salad and a crisp shredded lettuce salad — simple, refreshing, and perfectly balanced against the hearty dumplings. The service was exceptional — kind, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. It’s clear that this team takes pride in their food and their guests.

The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and handicap accessible, with a large lot offering free parking. There’s something for everyone here — from meat lovers to vegetarians — and each dish is prepared with care.

I’m heading back home to Seattle this week, and I already know I’ll be longing for my return to Myungin Dumplings. Thankfully, my hotel has a refrigerator, because I fully intend to take some of these heavenly buns home with me — if they make it that far!

Myungin Dumplings isn’t just a restaurant. It’s comfort, generosity, and craftsmanship wrapped in soft, steaming dough. Five stars all the way.“

“Good food and service……..“

“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!“

“Evangeline was amazing from start to finish. Her energy was so warm and welcoming, and her service was truly incredible. She made our experience feel special. The food was also amazing. Everything was perfect! The uni udon was our favorite.“

“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've ordered sandwiches from here many times before, and this was my first time visiting the cafe in person. It's a cozy spot with limited seating inside and a few tables outdoors.
​The sandwiches and cookies here are consistently delicious. The coffee also has a great level of quality that you won't regret.
​What truly sets this place apart, however, is the hospitality of the owners—it's absolutely outstanding. I highly recommend stopping by to grab a sandwich; it's a treat for both your stomach and your soul.“

“This is the best place ever! Their quality is so good!!! My favorite is the coffee especially with the foam and different options for foams! It tastes so good and is the perfect consistency! Whatever you’re looking for in boba they have it!“

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

“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.“

“I’m a donut lover.
I had been trying to buy so many donuts from different stores. I can tell you, the old ferry donut is the best in California!
I always come back to Old Ferry Donut, only at the Buena Park branch.
Because the old ferry donut at Buena Park has a wider selection of donuts than other branches and the promotion too.
I love their cream cheese donut 😍 best !!
And chocolate fudge, pistachio, and tiramisu donut.
Overall their donuts 👍👍👍“

“Muy buenos los tacos se los recomiendo“

“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.“

“Scrumptious delicious 🤤 yummy“

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

“Muy bien atendido y muy buenas vividas 🥰🥰🥰“

“This is a great place to get you coffee and sweets. My son and I have been coming every Saturday for the past year or so, and the staff have been more than welcoming. The coffee is great and the pastries are the best around.
Owner is also around often and is great at welcoming and making you feel like you are more than just a customer — you are a friend that is welcomed with excitement. She chats up and greets my 4 year old son every Saturday. Such a joyful place. I have also come in to work and it is quiet enough to lock in and get work done.“

“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!“

“Fresh Bagels & Cafe is a popular local spot for bagels, breakfast, and lunch. Even on busy days, the food and service don't disappoint. The kind and hardworking staff can get you in and out quickly. I've been enjoying the food here for a few years.

I appreciate the variety of freshly baked bagels, along with a selection of cream cheese flavors. A few favorite items include toasted bagels with lox-flavored cream cheese, breakfast/omelette bagel sandwiches, and the Lox City bagel, which is perfect for hungrier mornings. The hot coffee options are good with your standard creams, sugars, and spices.

The traditional and specialty sandwiches served on a Dutch Crunch roll are also delicious. Additional food items include classic muffins, fresh rolls, croissants, and flavored cream cheeses to take home. The drinks available feature a variety of coffees, juices, smoothies, boba, teas, and more.

I'd recommend this place, and I'm looking forward to visiting again.“

“Very tasty brunch!! All fresh!!“

“The food was really good! The waiters were all attentive and very quick in making sure we have all of our sides and drinks refilled. The inside looks like a fancy restaurant and it made me feel like I should have worn something nice. But in reality it's just the vibe. Everybody was comfortable. I would definitely come back again“

“This could easily be better. I don’t know if the recipe is designed this way or if the staff did it wrong or if the recipe is not specific but…. I got the ham cheese and it was ok, except, all the cheese and sauce was at the bottom of the sandwich. My guess is the staff opened the bread from one side, squirted in cheese and sauce and later put in the egg. So, the first half of the sandwich was basically all egg and there was very little cheese or sauce until I reached the bottom. The sandwich would have been amazing and delicious if every bite had egg, ham, cheese, and sauce but that requires the people making the sandwiches to assemble them with that in mind. Maybe I just go unlucky but assuming not, just a tiny bit more care would up these sandwiches to the next level“

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

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

“My family loves the galbi tang here. The ribs seem to have gotten smaller maybe because of the price of beef. Prices are a little high but we come back because the food is good. Service is ok. My son got the bi bim bap last time we were here and it was pretty decent.“

“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 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.“

“yummy 🤤 yummy 🤤 yummy 🤤 yummy“

“Chai tea latte is the best“

“This is a very cute outdoor drink spot inside of an outdoor mall. There is a large parking structure connected. My daughter got a mango smoothie that she said was every bit of fresh and delicious. The staff serving drinks was kind. We enjoyed have refreshments and great for a quick stop in between shopping.“

“After having dinner in the same plaza and trying to satisfy our sweet tooth, we were on the hunt for nearby dessert. While you see more of the gas station / car wash that they are near, we saw the Honeymee sign and searched for the window to order. It's more near the side of the intersection, so if you see the gas station, just keep walking towards the striped awnings.

I had a hard time deciding because I wanted the honeycomb, but also wanted matcha and the coffee milkshake sounded good too. I ended up picking the matcha affogato ($6.50). It's not that large a cup, so it was easy for me to finish. The matcha is light and even though it's called an affogato, there's no coffee at all. It was more satisfying than other desserts in the plaza, so there's that. Next time I would want to try the coffee milkshake as my friend pronounced multiple times how good it was!

They have some covered tables outside for seating and you order by the window. If it gets hot, I can see it be a bit uncomfortable. Plenty of parking in the plaza.“

“The Lobster Guys in Buena Park absolutely delivers when it comes to food. Everything tasted amazing—fresh, flavorful, and downright delicious. The portions are generous and worth every bite, especially if you’re a seafood lover.

That said, the service is very no-nonsense. Don’t even think about asking for small menu tweaks—like mixing lobster and shrimp tacos in one order. The response is a firm (and loud) no. What’s on the menu is what you get, period.

Not ideal, but honestly, that kind of attitude comes with the territory at some spots. If you go in knowing that and focus on the food, you’ll leave happy and full.“

“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).“

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

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

“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.“

“Good stuff lunch or dinner“

“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!“

“Summary: fast service, delicious black milk tea, reasonable price.The Gong Cha near where I live closed a while ago, and to be honest, nothing would beat Gong Cha in my heart. My favorite drink is the simple black milk tea with 50% sugar.When I visited this place during the weekend, there was no line and wait. Service was fast. The cashier who took my order was super friendly and patiently responded to all my questions as it had been forever since the last time I had been at Gong Cha.“

“I've been here twice and both times the food was delicious. Yesterday was my first time trying an actual salvadorean dish besides the typical breakfast plate and pupusas and I was glad I did. The pollo encebollado had a savory taste with sweetness from the carmelized onions and the rice and beans were soooo tasty. I love that the plate comes with a fresh side of salad because it adds color and freshness to a hearty plate. The service is also attentive and polite.“

“After dinner, my daughter introduced me Overflo . This is trendy eatery inside the Source OC offering grab-and-go waffles, and ice cream.
We ordered matcha ice cream, I was expecting a full matcha soft ice cream, not a matcha topping on a white ice cream. For the price, it should be a real full matcha but maybe it’s the way is it for this place . The cup is kind of small, but great for sharing if you're not up for eating the whole thing after dinner .
Great service, the girl at the counter was helpful and sweet.
Located in the source OC, a korean mall with a lots of parking!“
