50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Mission Viejo

“Husband and I went there last night during Haunt Hopping in Santa Ana -- and WOW!! Absolutely delicious, filling burgers and crispiest, hottest fries! Very friendly service. Hoping they open some locations near us, but until then, we'll make special trips -- they're that good!“

“The food is amazing!!! Knee is the best waitress ever👏👏👏👏🥰🥰“

“Great experience at Cali Curry House! The Paneer Tikka was perfectly spiced, and the Kadai Paneer was rich and flavorful. Dal Fry with Jeera Rice tasted amazing, and the Garlic Naan was fresh and soft. Authentic Indian flavors and great service. Definitely coming back!“

“Wonderful food and great service!“

“I know this is very late, but I still wanted to give a shout-out to Moe at Dizzy Bird.

I stopped by on Christmas Eve with my family and placed a big order. After I paid, I realized I forgot to order fries. Moe immediately took care of me and didn’t even want me to wait or go back in line to make another payment. He just grabbed them for me right away and got me taken care of.

He was genuinely kind and didn’t make it a hassle at all. I really wanted management to know how awesome and genuine he was. Also, every time I come here, the team behind the counter is always super friendly, kind, and welcoming. This isn’t my first time here, and the service is consistently great. Definitely one of my go-to spots.“

“Healthy food that is actually very tasty! It is clean and the service friendly and professional.“

“Excellent and swift service!“

“pasta , lasagna very friendly polite and helpful waiter“

“Cool vibe, good food. Happy hour daily from 2-5 with 50% off beer and wine. My only complaint would be the table tops were sticky/dirty looking. Not from lack of cleaning, just seemed to be the varnish they used on the wood. Also, the garlic parm fries are coated in a garlic butter. Very greasy/oily. If you're not into greasy fries, steer clear. Overall though, I would recommend, and I will be back.“

“And great for teenagers, Parents, singles and pups! Ice Snow infused with soft serve. The flavored are endless!!“

“i am at aloha bbq great place to eat!!! :)“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE Pengo! I literally order my favorite drink every day. (or almost every day) ❤“

“Sashimi is a sushi restaurant located at the corner of Lake Forest Drive and Dimension Drive. It appears to be run by a Korean family and is a popular spot among the locals. They have a sushi bar, but we opted to dine at a table. Steve greeted us and was not only friendly and helpful, but his service level enhanced our overall dining experience.

We tried a number of dishes during our visit. Among my favorites were the Veggie Tempura, Salmon Nigiri, Lake Forest Roll (I appreciate that they allow substitutions so I subbed spicy yellowtail in place of the spicy tuna) and Special Carpaccio S. The Spicy Salmon cut roll was nothing special and tasted more like a California Roll. The Yellowtail Cheek was good, but it was more meaty and less tender than I've enjoyed at other Japanese restaurants. My wife ordered the Pink Lady, but I prefer my sushi with rice. All in all, we enjoyed our Sashimi experience and I'd recommend checking it out if you're in Lake Forest and in the mood for raw fish at a reasonable price.“

“I recently stopped by Choco Bean Coffee in Mission Viejo and had a really nice experience. I ordered the hazelnut coffee, and it was smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced—not too sweet. I also tried one of their bagels, which was fresh and satisfying. It’s a great spot for a relaxed coffee break with simple, good-quality options. I would definitely come back again for another cup.“

“Intimate 50 guest pub w exceptional appetizers and entrées at reasonable prices..“

“#SuperBowlSundayBrunch 🌷🤙😜🥳😎“

“I simply love this place their prices are great the cake are fresh and super delicious, super professional and on time foe delivery. I highly recommend this bakery if you want a delicious fresh beautiful cake this is definitely the place. Thank you Simply Cakes and cupcakes for making our beautiful retirement cake. 🤩“

“If I could give 10 stars they would get it! I rarely go online to write a review, and if I do it’s because I had a horrible experience. I wrote a positive review maybe twice in my life here’s my third. Start with the cashier, I really can’t say I ever had anyone serve me with a better attitude than the guy who helped me and I say right by the register and he kept that amazing attitude with all customers. At first I had 3 chicken tacos from the taco Tuesday deal (which I might say isn’t cheap, but quality costs) which were surprisingly good because I don’t love shredded chicken. The chicken was so good I decided to get an asada one as well just to make sure they really are as good as it seems. They crushed it, asada taco came to over 7$ after taxes and it glad to say I’ll be happy to pay that price anytime anywhere to get that same taco!“

“Great vibes and crew. Food has great variety (large or small portions) and service is quick and efficient. I bring friends and family days and nights when we want frssh Italian meals away from home.“

“Delicious variety of cookies and so many milks to choose from. pure heaven“

“healthy and delicious, clean and nice plants all around!“

“Best poke! So much variety, tuna, salmon, spicy tuna, albacore, octopus, shrimp. tamago, and tofu. Delicious add-ons and lots of toppings!“

“Great place to enjoy wine and the lake🍷🧀🌅“

“I do like boba a lot. There was a girl with black hair working alone, I think she had my wife and i’s order done in less than five min. The actual boba tapioca at the bottom was different from the first time i’ve had boba at another place but still very good.“

“Visited the El Segundo store. Outstanding pizza. As good as the best pizza I’ve had in NYC. (I’ve had a lot of NYC Pizza) Staff are really friendly and the manager goes above and beyond to make sure every customer is happy. Highly recommend.“

“I Loved The Chicken Very Tasty & Yummy I Wish They Had More Locations Here In California“

“Bronx Sandwich Company is a go-to when I’m taking clients somewhere casual but still want to impress with quality. The sandwiches are stacked, the ingredients taste fresh, and the portions don’t leave you guessing. It’s got that straightforward, no-frills vibe, which actually works well for relaxed conversations without distractions. Service is quick and efficient, so you’re not waiting around. Solid choice when you want something filling, reliable, and easy to turn into a productive meeting.“

“11/10 experience! I visited Vivot with my best friend - a nurse who works across the street after hearing her rave about the quality of the matcha and thoroughness of the drinks made. Unfortunately I ordered via OLO to the wrong location but nevertheless the store team quickly made our new drinks. I ordered a Einspanner Matcha Latte with Oat Milk and a Lavender Cloud. After visiting Japan, it has been extremely hard to find authentic matcha. Vivot was extremely authentic and delicious. A special thanks to Brandon for his help processing the refund for my error ordering at the wrong location. I can’t wait to visit again when I am back in town!“

“The Acai bowls are amazing!! Glazed Donut Fro-yo is another of my favorites!!“

Went to Check on Pancakes 5 Staff Standing Around Talking. Was told Pancakes were coming. After 10 minutes they finally arrived. Other Customers were having Service Problems Too.“

“Cinnamon roll French toast!“

“Delicious food tender kabobs organized and punctual good price, make sure to cater here if you have party“

“I came in for my first time and Max was absolutely wonderful! I wasn’t sure what I wanted he was extremely polite, kind and helpful! Thank you for hiring employees like Max who make just getting a burger a really excellent experience. It’s employees like him which makes a huge difference in where I and others choose to go for food! I will absolutely be back and will make this my number one burger place from now on! Now can’t wait to get home and try it!“

“This was my go to your place, but I’m very disappointed that they took away the blackened chicken. I would go at least once a day, and sometimes twice a day, two or three times a week. Their blackened chicken salad was just amazing. Their beans are delicious and I love their salsa. Now, I sometimes go two times a week, but really just to see the staff because they are amazing!
The shrimp and the Carne Asada are good, but it is not like the blackened chicken. I would imagine it’s much slower now because I know so many people went for the blackened chicken. Maybe in the future they can rethink that decision.“

“Buena atención. Variedad de cafe al gusto del cliente, exquisitos postres, variedad de tazas, termos“

“A favorite restaurant for our friends and family. Food is always consistently good and the atmosphere is fun!!!“

“Love the service here and the options for bowls. Healthy options and it tastes great!! Ysobel was so very helpful!“

“Pandor Bakery & Café in Mission Viejo is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a beautiful, warm, and inviting setting that immediately makes you feel welcome. The display cases are simply stunning — an extensive array of freshly baked breads, pastries, desserts, and treats that make it nearly impossible to choose just one.
Everything looks and tastes exceptional, reflecting true craftsmanship and quality.
What truly sets this location apart, however, is the leadership and staff. The store managers — especially the French-speaking manager — along with the entire team, enthusiastically greet every customer with genuine warmth and professionalism. They are a real class act and an absolute pleasure to do business with. Their energy, hospitality, and pride in their café elevate the entire experience.
Mission Viejo is fortunate to have such a wonderful establishment serving the community.
Bravo, Pandor Bakery & Café — I’ll most certainly be back!“

“Excellent Persian food in warm surroundings at reasonable prices. What everybody calls professional staff with great service, is actually the PERSIAN HOSPITALITY which no Persian restaurant would last without it. Even when you are waiting for your takeout order, they offer you complimentary tea while you wait. Persian moms take their cooking seriously and if the food at a Persian restaurant doesn't meet their high standards, they wouldn't load up the whole family to go there for family dinners and catered parties.“

“Michael and Kayla helped me tonight at the front. Two of the most positive people I've ever been helped by! They asked me if I need anything additional and created such a welcoming environment.

Kayla and Michael ate careful to keep things stirred and package everything so it stays warm. As soon as Kayla asked for something from the kitchen the kitchen team was on it and by the time I was stepping out after paying it was ready. Food looked super fresh and well stocked. No dry chicken or dull eggrolls. Its rare to see such a cohesive team keeping everything going! These guys are great!!“

“There bagels are better than the ones in New York. They are always fresh big and super delicious. They even have lox in cream cheese. The staff are always super friendly and helpful.“

“They are delicious!!!! 😋 😋😋😋“
