47 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Northridge

“I have been going to Porto's since the 1980's..the one in Glendale. How elated I was with having them being in Northridge where I live. The food is terrific and the lines go fast due to a tremendous quick system they have. The catering for parties has never let us down and people you have invited that never have experienced Portos are thrilled. The cakes are delicious. What I do miss is not having the individual cake slices for purchase so you can experience the taste. They only have the neapolitan, Parisian, and carrot for slices. I've seen the menu change over time and do miss some of the items.“

“Nice food , good atmosphere,friendly staff“

“Excellent food and service.“

“I like the pork ribs and all the fixings Try the potato salad“

“Food is consistently excellent and the service is also great.“

“Our waiter ( mario) best person I know. Service was beyond amazing, would recommend to all! Thank you Mr.’Mario for the best service ever!“

“My husband and I usually go during happy hour for their poke nachos and crispy brussel sprouts but have tried a few other things. Everything we've tried has been delicious but occasionally varies in preparation quality. We went on March 18th and ordered the poke nachos but they were not as good. The portion was a lot smaller than usual, so we decided to order another one. The second one came out great (I included a picture of the one prepared correctly) and that's when we realized they left off ingredients from the first one sent. They were still good but it was interesting that the two plates were that different. We didn't mention this to our waiter and I'm sure they would have been accommodating but maybe plates should be checked for quality before they're delivered?

Another note, we usually sit at the bar but we got a table the last time since the bar was packed. We were obviously fine with this but the cleanliness was extremely lacking. The menus had food on them and greasy fingerprints. I'm also not sure why the booths are never wiped down?? The tables are cleaned but the food just lands on the seats. Then you're wondering what else isn't cleaned, look around, and notice all the other spots that aren't wiped down. So gross.“

“Stopped here on the way to the airport and I was not disappointed! I had a ham, cheese, mushroom and onion omelette (not on the menu exactly) with country potatoes and it was delicious! The coffee was good, the food came fast and got and the server was great. I'll be eating here again when I'm back in town. But they are cash only, luckily I had some on hand . . .“

“I recently stopped by Qwench Place and tried their PB Banana Brew, and I was thoroughly impressed! The blend was creamy and packed with flavor, a perfect balance of peanut butter and banana. It had a smooth texture with just the right amount of sweetness, making it both a satisfying and energizing treat. The drink wasn’t too heavy, making it ideal as a quick pick-me-up or a post-workout refreshment. The staff was friendly and quick, and the overall atmosphere of the shop was bright and welcoming.

Parking: Free parking lot“

“Dave's Hot Chicken delivers bold flavors and juicy, perfectly spiced chicken that hits the spot every time. The heat levels offer something for everyone, from mild to seriously spicy. The sliders are a must-try, especially paired with their signature sauce and crinkle-cut fries. Great for a quick, satisfying meal with a kick“

“These tacos hit the spot! We usually get asada, pastor, carnitas, and suedero but want to try the cueritos next time. Love that they use homemade tortillas! The guy taking orders even recognized us from the last time we were there and hooked it up with all the salsas and sides. Can’t wait to come back again soon! Thank you!“

“This has been my family’s go to restaurant for decades. Every time I go here, I am hit with nostalgia. Most birthdays and special occasions were spent here. Since I live out of state now, I always have to stop at chi chi's whenever I visit California. The plain cheese pizza is the best pizza hands down. I’ll never find another pizza like it. Also the cold cut sandwiches are delicious 🤤 I wish chi chis would extend into Oregon 🥲 also, please NEVER go out of business or I would be so devastated lol“

“I love Yonder’s hot and cold beverages! Their pastries are delicious!“

“This is a superb bakery for deserts, cakes & pastries in Woodland Hills! Cake was fresh and delicious. This is a business that cares about their customers. Special Thank you to Tim, professional. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Leo's Superfood Cafe is definitely the best way to me! This fully gluten free + fully vegan spot is located in more so in Lake Balboa, California, but actually resides in the city of Northridge, Los Angeles, California in a small plaza lot near the Van Nuys Airport. It's off the intersection of Roscoe Blvd/Louise Avenue in a small plaza with parking. Their baked good are incredible with a big selection of flavors. While their Daring Pot Pie is a top favorite. I can't say anything bad about their pizzas, wraps, quesadillas, sandwiches, shakes, teas, espresso, plates, bowls and other beverages. I do have to avoid their seed based bread do to my sunflower seed allergy, but everything is clearly labeled and the are very allergen cautious. Love their Leo's Superfood Breakfast Burrito, "Meat" Lovers Pizza, Hot Hash Keto Bowl and Crunchwrap. Definitely my top recommend aside from the Pot Pie and desserts. Everything is made with care. The service is excellent and the absolutely love and appreciate their staff as well as all us customers.“

“the best boba and great variety🧋😋“

“Great place to go and have some fun while learning at the same time! The teacher will guide you and help to learn about clay, and how to creat with the clay and the wheel.“

“Hidden gem doesn't even begin to describe To Die For Sushi. Nestled in a humble space in Northridge, this place is so unassuming you might walk right past it--but don't. Because once you walk in and sit at the bar, you'll realize you've discovered one of the best sushi experiences in all of Los Angeles.

Chef Danny is a true artist. We had front-row seats to his craft and were mesmerized watching him turn simple ingredients into edible masterpieces. Every slice, every plate--pure precision and passion.

We shared a bento box with mixed tempura, mixed sushi, and sashimi, and were blown away by the variety and balance. The Heart Attack (fried jalapeño stuffed with cream cheese and topped with spicy tuna) was absolute fire--bold, indulgent, and perfectly crispy.

The Toro and salmon were melt-in-your-mouth perfection--fresh, buttery, and honestly some of the best I've had anywhere in L.A.

Our server, Samantha, was fantastic--warm, attentive, and clearly knew the menu well. She made great recommendations and timed everything perfectly.

This place is a sushi lover's dream, without the pretense or the inflated prices of trendy spots. The prices are really affordable and the quality top notch. I have paid a lot more for so much less elsewhere. Do yourself a favor and sit at the bar--watch the magic happen, savor every bite, and thank me later.

“We got the mango matcha fresh milk tea and the lychee passion fruit tea. Both were reasonably priced and delicious. I recommend trying the bobas here. They taste fresh and not artificial. I also recommend their match series.
There's plenty of space to sit down and drink or you can walk around the mall with your Boba.
Theres plenty of parking.“

“My favorite place to get coffee. Have a few specialty drinks I toggle between that are my favorites. They have some unique and delicious muffins and a chocolate chip cookie to die for. I think the cookie is gluten-free....but you wouldn't know. Its so tasty. Was so happy to find this gem 7 years ago and have been going there ever since“

“Today I pulled up at my local Coffee Bean and a very surprising thing happened. The cashier Aliana and the Barista Amanda both recognized my car when parking and had my drink ready before I walked thro tr door. Now that’s service worthy of respect and recognition!! I hope their Manager Christopher Pike sees this!!!“

“A Fantastic Starbucks Experience in Porter Ranch!

I’ve visited many Starbucks locations, but this one really stands out! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The staff here are always incredibly welcoming, and they make it a point to remember my regular order, which adds such a personal touch to every visit.

The store itself is spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with plenty of seating – whether you're stopping by for a quick coffee or settling in for a productive afternoon. The baristas are efficient and consistently make my drinks to perfection, no matter how complicated the order is. Plus, the vibe in this Starbucks is just so chill and relaxed—perfect for grabbing a cup of coffee or working on my laptop.

I also love that the drive-thru is quick and easy, making it perfect for those busy mornings when I’m on the go. And let’s not forget their seasonal offerings – always a treat to try something new!

Overall, this Starbucks in Porter Ranch is my go-to spot for a great cup of coffee, excellent customer service, and a cozy environment. Highly recommend!“

“My family and I went to try Z Pizza for the first time. We were ending our busy evening to have dinner there. When we walked in we were greeted by the chef. I asked what time they close? He said 10pm. I looked at my phone and it was 9:45. I said to the chef "Looks like you guys are closing soon? It's ok thanks. We don't want to keep you working late" the chef said "no, no, no. Welcome to Z Pizza. What can I make for you and your family? Our menu is right over here". I felt bad but we ordered and the chef was phenomenal. I asked his name and he said "Fernando". He was very knowledgeable of the menu, patient towards our decisions and very hospitable. At this point, I didn't mind waiting because the place was so clean inside. Nonetheless, we grab our food, went home and ate. Omg, was the food awesome! Thank you Chef Fernando. Because of you we'll definitely be back.“

“Es mi primera vez que mi hijo me invitó a cenar y muy buen servicio y muy limpio muy buena cena Gracias“

“I’ve been eating subs from My Hero since 1972! THE best subs I’ve eaten, ever. Moved through the years, and always went to My Hero’s when within 5 hours by car to where I was staying! The high quality of their food has never waivered! The buns are soft, yet chewy! The tomato salad in each sandwich is always fresh! Plus they give a generous portion of the protein! My favorite has always been pastrami! Lean and tasty, everytime! The staff is welcoming and genuinely happy you are there! I’ll be going in a week as I pass through the area! Will be the highlight of my trip! Thanks My Hero for keeping the memories alive and never disappointing!“

“The new owners are very professional, polite and courteous. I like attending this place because the food is served at a timely manner and they take into consideration the way a person wants there food done. Its food is very delicious and at a reasonable price.“

“Two lanes for drive thru. Very very small parking lot to eat at outside patio.

Food: everything is amazing.

Ambiance: more of a summer time and fall spot to eat outside here in this spot.

Service: been here times. This spot usually is on point. Staff here is pretty consistent.“

“Was on campus for a program for our son and was so glad that we could get afternoon coffee.

Was hard to tell that they were even open as you just order on the iPads in front. Once they have your order, you see the people to pay.

They were quick and the coffee was strong!“

“I stopped by this DQ inside Northridge mall today because I wanted a soft serve ice cream. I walked past this DQ store so many times but never walked inside to look at their menu. Today was the day, so when I walked in they were not busy at all. I was looking at their menu and saw their plain cone option which is their version of soft serve in a cone. So I went with that and got a small size. It was pricer than I expected but I guess because it was in the mall. The plain vanilla in a cone was good though and you get a good amount. I was happy with my selection to end my day at the mall.

Parking: There a ton of parking spots here from parking garage to parking lot because it's inside the mall.

Kid-friendliness: This place is kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: This place is wheelchair accessible“

“I stopped by this bakery place today after going to Vons in the same plaza. I basically wanted a light snack and was hoping for a bagel. When I walked inside, there was no one else there so I first look at their cakes on display. Then I saw some pastries and blueberries. They have their menu cycling through on the TV and I saw a blueberry muffin. I didn't see any bagel and that's when a lady working in the back came outside to ask me if I know what I wanted. I went with their blueberry muffin and then asked about their m&m cookies. She said they charge per pound on the cookies so I stuck with just the blueberries muffin. I ate my muffin inside of the place, they had about like 3 or 4 tables for people to sit. Which I was eating there, I looked at their menu on the TV and saw they have crossiant here as well.“

“Very good good service is all god 👍“

“FYI they are open for take out during the COVID .. love them .. they make me feel right at home when I go there ..good people that work there 👌🏽“

“Order the new drink, sunset boulevard 👍👍 I like fresh watermelon 😍😍😍“

“I’ve been going to el Torito to since I was young because my mom loves the restaurant ! And so do I. The food is consistently good and I’ve tried many different dishes. This time I got the burrito especial which was delicious! The tortilla had an enchilada sauce on it that was very flavorful and good. I very much enjoyed it! But portion also so I ended up taking half home. My aunt got the chicken and sour cream enchiladas and my mom got the sizzling enchiladas. They both thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The sizzling enchiladas were surprisingly light but flavorful and my mom was able to eat both of hers.“

“excellent service & great food 👍👍“

“awesome tea and nice staff“
