50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants San Marino

“My family and I absolutely love coming here, especially my kids! You have to try the sizzling fish, it’s sooo delicious! Honestly, everything here is amazing, and you definitely won’t be disappointed.
Our server, Victor, was wonderful, and the rest of the staff were just as friendly and attentive. Such a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a wonderful place to enjoy a meal with the family. We always have a great experience here! Highly recommend!“

“I had a Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea with no ice and level 1 (of 5) sweetness. I really enjoy freshly brewed milk tea (freshly brewed after order is placed) compared to milk tea prepared with tea that was brewed well in advance, had been sitting on the shelf for who knows how long, and used only after the order is placed. I definitely recommend to try their boba tea.“

“This is honestly in my top two favorite pizza spots in all of Los Angeles, if not my top favorite. I usually go to the DTLA location, but this was my first time at the San Marino one. This neighborhood location is a lot prettier than DTLA with much easier free street parking right in front. The staff is friendly at both locations and everything is usually available very quickly. I’ve never had to wait longer than 15 minutes.

For this most recent visit I had to stop in on Sunday for their specialty which is the Mac & Cheese Pizza. It really hits the spot when you’re craving and honestly every single variant I’ve had here is great. One of my favorite parts is that you can order a whole pie or a slice in pretty much any version and they really do a great job with quality control and taste. I also love how huge the slices are. This location is more set up to go, they do have places to sit and eat inside, but it’s definitely designed more as a to go. I would highly recommend and really wish they would open a third location on the west side close to where I live.“

“Good food,good price, will always go to this location over the one on Valley Blvd in Alhambra👍🏼“

“They definitely have some unique flavors to try, many of which I haven’t seen before in any other boba places. I really like the cassia milk tea
The prices though, are also higher than most other places. I paid $24 for 3 drinks, one of which was $8.65 (the popcorn milk tea with brown sugar tapiochi).
The drinks are good and the flavors can’t be found most other places, but I don’t personally think they’re over $8 worth it
I’d definitely only come rarely for an occasional indulgence“

“The food is priced on the expensive end, but that is to be expected for attraction food. Not that I minded anyway, because my entire meal was filling (the portion sizes are MASSIVE) and delicious. Well seasoned, served hot, and promptly arrived even during the height of a lunch rush. The atmosphere is unbeatable“

“Always a great place to sit talk and redirect I had a productive visit“

“We like to go for birthday breakfast, today could have been better.“

“I love coming here! Great food, friendly service and family run. The village is so charming.“

“had the messy biscuit, the flores and a grilled cheese and they were all amazing!! the biscuit was soo good on its own but with the filling it tasted absolutely delicious, the flores was just as good! the rib meat and the sauces all combined to be such amazing flavors. the grilled cheese was yummy and cheesy too!“

“One of the most amazing meals I’ve had.“

“The pizza was to die for — we had the margarita pizza — thin crust and sauce delicious. We had the artichoke burrata appetizer which was delicious too. The area where the restaurant is located is very cool. Enjoyable all the way around.“

“Ordered the off-menu Pomodoro pasta and it did not disappoint. The tomato and petit basil sauce was bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The wax beans were a standout - snappy and bright with serrano chile, toasted hazelnuts, and a tangy Frenchie vinaigrette. The garden lettuces were crisp and well dressed with radish vinaigrette, fresh dill, walnuts, and shallots. Good vibe, happy staff, great mix of flavors. The orange wine pairing tied it all together. Highly recommend Updated from previous review on 2026-03-29“

“Lovely people and food!!!“

“櫃檯服務人員讚啦！態度非常友善！“

“The food was very tasty, will be back next time“

“Great array of food options in a lively atmosphere“

“After our Altadena house burned down, we relocated to Barker Block and absolutely love being so close to Manuela. We used to have a fire table like yours, so dining here always carries a sense of home. Last night we brought friends, and they said, ‘This makes it hard to go out to eat in Monrovia—our restaurants cut corners with cheap ingredients and fast turnover.’ What your chefs create is the opposite: dishes with not just incredible flavor but extraordinary texture and detail. Their expertise is off the charts, and I highly recommend.“

“Absolutely loved this place. We will definitely be coming back. We got Citrus Salad, Carne en su Jugo & Carnitas Wow, just Wow!!!!!“

“Sushi Gen is simply the best sushi spot I’ve found in California and honestly, the only place in the U.S. that has ever reminded me of the sushi I’ve had in Japan.

I discovered this place a few years ago, and I still remember how happy I was after my first visit. I had been looking for that same freshness and quality I loved so much in Japan, and Sushi Gen was the first place where I genuinely felt like I found it.

I’ve been back many times since, and it has never disappointed me. The quality is consistently exceptional, the fish is incredibly fresh. One of those rare places I can recommend without hesitation.“

“Villa's Tacos were amazing! and I'm not saying this just because of the hype of the Super Bowl. I'm saying this because I mean it. The tacos were just amazing to me. Not your regular everywhere tacos. These tacos were homemade recipes. I had the carne asada, pork with potato (puerco con papa) & beans with cactus (frijoles con nopal). It's a week later that I tried these tacos and I can't stop talking about them. My favorite was the beans with cactus. Soooo good. Also, the atmosphere was just so nice and lively. I truly enjoyed every minute of my visit here. Thank you Villa's Tacos, we will return.“

“Most amazing torta I've ever had“

“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.“

“Mango Sago and condensed milk were by far my favorite. Each cup comes with 3 toppings (and a slurry of unique options). The staff was super accommodating (and friendly) and let my family and I try all the flavors. They also sell pints of previous flavors in a freezer by the register.“

“Such a great experience! I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect walking into Bike Shed since I’m not really part of the motorcycle scene and thought I might feel a little out of place, but I was completely wrong.

The tall tattooed bartender working the bar was amazing. He was super welcoming, friendly, and genuinely made me feel comfortable right away. He took the time to explain the drinks, made great recommendations, and had such an easygoing personality that made the whole place feel way less intimidating.

It’s rare that someone’s service actually changes how you feel about a place, but he definitely did. I came in a little nervous and left feeling like I’d absolutely come back. Great drinks, great atmosphere, and even better hospitality.“

“Walked here from corner of Sunset and Lilac. The tacos here never disappoint. They are always made to perfection. Down to the slice of onion with the mole taco, and the avocado on the Tinga. They always give perfect presentation and quality. We had a Jamaica and horchata.
Enjoyed every sip and bite.

And super friendly customer service. I love when people also acknowledge my son as a customer too! And allow him to order or grab his own drink.
Thank you!“

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“The owners here have a lot to be proud of. It’s a phenomenal restaurant surrounded by a million great restaurants. I got the Azteca and Al pastor burritos with an horchata and all of it was absolutely incredible. Definitely lived up to the hype. I’d go all the time if it were closer.“

“Fantastic roman style pizza. My new favorite style. Crispy on the bottom and ends, and a great flavor to the crust. Not to thick so it doesnt overload you with bread and the roman pinsa style of fermentation makes it eaiser to digest too! Great creative use of quality toppings and combinations different from many places. Excellent salads and of course nice wines that they can steer you to what may be to. your liking. Chartruitere board for 4 needed more than one type of cheese and would have benefited from one other meat besides mortadella and prosciutto. However all the ingredients were top notch. Inside is quite noisy and the outside patio is nice with it ringed by large plants so you dont see the street. Plus 3rd street here has almost no traffic. Music was a bit loud on the patio to compete with talking but not terrible. Service was very friendly but food came out on the slow side. Restaurant was packed on a saturday night at 6:15 so that may be why as the kitchen is small. But like in Rome, you shouldnt be in a rush when you eat. It's the Italian way. Not a huge menu but many items sounded really good so will need to try again. The tiramisu was great but diffferent. Served in a goblet with the cookies dusted on top it was like more of a pudding with the lady fingers. Other normal versions have more of the cake in layers than this but it was quite good. The pistachio ice cream was also really good too. But really this is one of the best pinsa style pizzas I have had, I have eaten them at many places! So if you come here you need to get the pizza!“

“Was really excited to try this place with a galpal recently, and while the space itself is no doubt gorgeous, found the service and food a bit lackluster. We waited a long time to be greeted and get water once sat, even though the restaurant was only partially full - so much so the server did apologize once they did show up. But then we proceeded to wait a long time again to place our order, and then had to flag down our server after waiting a long time to get another glass of wine mid-meal. Overall, it was a fine experience, but was really shocking to be charged a credit card fee on the bill. I can't imagine folks are paying cash often at this price point, and I've never ever been passed a 3% credit card fee at a nice, sit-down restaurant.“

“The food here is phenomenal, especially compared to other Peruvian restaurants like pollo Inca. While it may not be the same, it’s definitely better in flavor. Everything is never bland, and the flavoring is exceptional. I can’t recommend it enough; you have to try it!

I wish I had pictures, but I was in a rush. They do have complimentary sauces and bread. The portions are generous, and the agua fresca is made in-house.
A bit pricey, but will pay for great service and taste in food. Gracias. ☺“

“Delicious !! Enjoyed the East Los atmosphere..😋💞“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“Great high quality food and service“

“The best spicy Chinese Food in OC/LA area hands down! They have been Michelin recommended for a reason. Their food has lots of depth of umami flavors with a good amount of spice with a refined touch. Their none spicy broths are especially good too. My faves are their dry pots, toothpick lambs, Qiao Jiao Beef. We also like their spicy ribs and boiled fish in chilli sauce, and Mao cai. Service is great too!“

“Breakfast goals achieved! Generous portions, delicious homemade biscuits, and an omelette that could serve two. Friendly staff made it even better. My favorite meal done right 💕☕“

“What a gem...hands down the best elotes l've ever had!! The corn man is super nice and super fast at pumping out Elote via cob or bowl. There was probably 20+ people ahead of me with multiple orders but it only took 25 minutes to get through since he's so efficient. It can be so amazingly rich and heavy for some folks but this is what you're coming for! A guilty pleasure ruminating in cheese, mayo and liquid butter and corn. I prefer the bowl over the cob since it's much easier to eat. I also recommend getting two at once so u don't have to wait in line again and it's so cheap. 100% recommend!“

“The bread is great, I have bought a few loafs there (top tip come at the end of the day and you get ten percent off bakery items) the food is good I had the roast beef sandwich, it was good but I didn’t quite like the soft bun that they used, and I asked if I could choose the bread next time, unfortunately they said that there were no substitutions on bread which is a bummer.

I do like the dining area it has a nice old time diner feel.“

“Dylan was the best worker that I’ve ever seen in my entire history of going to Luna Grill. He offered to throw away my trash for me and help me clean up some spilled napkins and a spilled drink that I dropped on the floor. He’s so kind and so welcoming and made the whole lunar girl experience just so much better.“

“The best French food in LA. Chef is outstanding. Staff incredible. So yourself a favor. Go.“

“The staff is great and friendly. The food is delicious!“

“Great costumer service and very friendly staff.“

“Had the Texas prime beef brisket sandwich. I’m from Texas and tastes like home. Definitely check this place out. Will be coming back for sure!!!“

“Absolutely delicious, cooked fresh and everything you want in a snack. There’s lots of savory and sweet options- I went with a ham and cheese one and a mixed berry cream cheese one. It looks like they have new and limited flavor options rotated out regularly. Paying is cash or Venmo only, but was very inexpensive. It took about 10 mins, and there’s some picnic tables nearby with cute little birds to keep you company while you wait.

It was cooked perfectly, melty and piping hot on the inside, and crispy on the outside, with a mildly sweet and crispy shell. Absolute perfection! A great way to grab a quick snack and take a short break while shopping. I definitely will be back.“

“Did my popup there on a Saturday and it was super fun!!! The whole Verdugo team were slammed but kept it together and stayed super positive and welcoming. The clientele were very friendly and patient. Everyone was mingling and the DJ was doing pretty good. I need to go back and dance!“

“All the staff we encountered was friendly, sweet, and highly professional, except for the first woman we interacted with behind the counter. She looked right through us as if we weren’t there and when we asked a direct question about ingredients she pulled a face as if she was irritated to have to answer. She handed us cold food to go when we planned to dine in. When we clarified, again she was rude. Her and her attitude is the only reason I would hesitate to return - oh, and the fact I was handed a dirty coffee cup, looked like it hadn’t been checked after removal from the dishwashing machine. However, the cashier was super helpful, and everyone that came out to check on us was charming and professional; THE FOOD WAS AMAZING, the location was refreshing, parking on the street was serviceable, the seating was plentiful, other customers were fun, and the vibe was chill.“

“Bento boxes are of great quality here. The attention to detail of this curated meal definitely lets your eyes feast first. All the little sides taste amazing, especially the candied sweet potatoes. The vegetables alternate between sweet and salty to balance out the meal. The Scottish salmon and mackerel are cooked to perfection. The little yolk in the rice also adds a nice touch to mix in and eat.“

“Everything about this dining experience was perfect. I've never had that before, where literally every box is checked...

Every single item we ordered blew our minds with how tasty they were. It was truly a one-of-a-kind experience.

We were traveling from Utah and were in that town accidentally. We wandered in to the closest restaurant nearby and were not at all prepared for how nice this was. Even though we were not looking our best from a long day on the road, we were treated kindly and even had nice conversation with the owner.

This is now on our must list EVERY time we come to California!“

“Love their sandwiches! Delicious!!“
