50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants near Universal City

“My family came to this place for a little treat after a day at Universal. Didn’t expect to see a grown man yelling at a kid just trying to do their job. The girl with piercings handled it perfectly and I just felt so bad for them! Shame on that man. It was obvious from the get go our order will take a while just because there was a good amount of people, but we were willing to wait! I’m glad we did! Because the chicken bowls were so good and just what we needed!!“

“Since Or Bar opened in the old Gold Coast space, it has become my favorite local place. Good drinks, great people. I love all of the staff here!“

“Great atmosphere friendly staff and amazing food 😎“

“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.“

“Such a delicious experience with friendly, kind staff. I recommend the chicken sandwich and also any of their bowls. All non-GMO and way too good.“

“Absolutely delicious food. Chulita Bowl was fantastic, hibiscus mimosa and latte were so good. Friendly staff too! Thanks for the wonderful brunch. 🙏🧜🏽‍♀️“

“Farmhouse kitchen is the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever had. On top of the food being great and delicious, the presentation makes you want to order everything from the menu. Chef Bo was so nice to come out to our table and all I can say is she was a very nice, young & talented person. She even made me a special dessert for my birthday. Thanks Bo❤️ I highly recommend this place if you want an authentic, excellent and delicious food. In addition, the place is so full of life. The decor is amazing! I can’t wait to go back and try some of the fancy drinks and dishes on the menu.“

“Angelini Osteria totally lived up to the hype! We had a great dinner there that night and I can't wait to go back again soon. Let's start with the star of this show: uni pasta. Oh my gosh, it was divine! The uni was so fresh and creamy and the pasta itself was cooked just right. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. We also tried the baked lasagna and it was delightful. The layers were perfectly balanced and each bite was full of rich, savory flavors. Let's not forget dessert! We shared a few different things and they were all great. The tiramisu was fluffy and decadent and the chocolate mousse was rich and smooth. Overall, Angelini Osteria is definitely a must-try for Italian food lovers in Los Angeles. The food is incredible, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu!“

“Great array of food options in a lively atmosphere“

“Delicious authentic Roman cuisine …“

“Came here for dinner and left feeling like I'd just eaten at home. The Aloo Tikki was crispy and perfectly spiced, the Chana Chalupa was a fun twist, and the Noormahal Lasagna was something I haven't seen anywhere else. The Veggie Fun came out at exactly the spice level I asked for, and they were happy to swap in garlic naan. Everything was well cooked and the flavors felt genuinely authentic, which is hard to find in LA.
The service really stood out too. The staff was warm, attentive and super sweet the whole night. You can tell they care about their guests. Highly recommend Roots Indian Bistro, and I'll definitely be back.“

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

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

“Excellent food and fantastic service😊“

“Lovely people and food!!!“

“The signature dish is the crab in sauce, which comes in medium and large sizes. medium is two crabs with two bowls of rice, and large is three crabs. Compared with other Korean restaurants, the sauce crab taste is mild, and it will not be salty enough to explode in the middle of the meal and cannot continue to eat. The crab is fresh, not fishy, and the meat is firm, not squishy. The crab meat is also very full, the crab legs are full, there is no empty shell crab. The sea urchin rice is a little smaller but the sea urchin is enough. regular sea urchins are not particularly sweet, but they are fresh and worth the price. The sea urchin Rice bowl combo will be served with steamed eggs, runny eggs and two prawns in sauce. Raw marinated salmon rice is amazing to me. The salmon is marinated just enough to be flavorful, but not overly salty. The portions are generous. You can eat two bites of each piece of salmon.“

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

“Kantutan to the max🤣🤣 see photo“

“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 amazing! Everything was so fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. We loved every single thing we ordered! The service was also great, everyone was so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Definitely one of the best sushi places I’ve been to, and I can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend! ❤“

“Such Wonderful atmosphere, food and coffee! 💖🎉🥳 They also have a super sweet display of gourmet treats!!! 🤩“

“I like the beef combo & definitely will be back again“

“Visiting LA this week and had a fab time at the Clark Street Diner, excellent food😋“

“This is a very popular place as it gets crowded even before normal dinner time. The semi-indoor/outdoor seating area is clean and relaxing.“

“I came in for the cacio e pepe pizza because I saw it on "The Best Thing I Ever Ate." Fan-freaking-tastic! I'll definitely be back and might just have to eat 2 of them!“

“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.“

“Relax atmosphere, awesome service and good food!“

“My wife and I went to the Grove in Los Angeles last night and we had dinner at "Sogno Toscana," an it was outstanding. It was perfect in every way; great food, great drinks, outstanding and friendly staff, beautiful location, etc. I love Italian food but I can't think of one Italian restaurant that I like, until "Sogno Toscano." The food was outstanding, and there was so much more we saw go by that we can't wait to go back and try. And the drinks were outstanding. I love martini's and they served the best martini I've ever had. Giacomo was our server and took great care of us. He's from Italy and "Sogno Toscana" brought him to America when they opened their New York restaurant, and now he's in LA for this new restaurant. Although very busy, the entire staff were very fun to be around, and most of them are Italian which is also great.“

“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.“

“Why go 3000 miles away it’s just as good as Pat steaks and they got a roast pork sandwich too“

“the prices aren't are not that expensive they got some good food here and good staff“

“Was awesome to find a restaurant with my two favorites…GF and Southern!“

“Great food and service. This place never disappoints.“

“🐅🐅🐅🐅 yum yummy.. crying tiger so good“

“En Petit Trois, la cocina habla por sí sola. Tanto la hamburguesa como el pescado destacan por una técnica precisa y una ejecución impecable, donde cada elemento está en perfecto equilibrio; dos platillos memorables, difíciles de jerarquizar. Aunque no fue posible degustar la coctelería debido a la política de requerir pasaporte físico para el servicio de alcohol, la propuesta gastronómica se sostiene con absoluta solidez. Una experiencia sobria, bien lograda y digna de repetirse.“

“Came at a surprisingly slow night on Friday evening to try the signature Zhengyalov hatz and the lahmajun. Both are good and feel light and healthy. They are like pizza and calzone options without all the fat and grease. If you are a fan of herbaceous flavors, you would love the zhengyalov hatz.

Only complaint is that when we came on a hot night, the place did not have A/C, or it wasn't on.“

“get the Hash! and some pie“

“Best bagel? (Hard to say
Really great bagel. YES! I think you won’t disappoint. It’s definitely on the pricier side. But, the staff is really nice. Especially the cashier! Made my day a bit ngl. 8.5/10 :”-)“

“Excellent deep dish style pizza.“

“I felt right at home here. What a great find in DTLA. Special thanks to Ian for the recommendations and surprises. Excellent from start to finish. The freshest and best ingredients. Especially enjoyed the burrata, freshley baked bread, tomoatoes, and the affogato dessert.“

“Atmosphere was great! Service was fabulous. Drinks were tasty! Margarita Pizza lacked cheese but the Sweet Cheeks was amazing 🤩.“

“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.“

“m/ Really good spicy awesome noodles 🍜“

“Hollywood's Best & Most Consistent Food & Drinks by far!“

“So cool to be appreciated, and have our spirits lifted at KP LAMC Rehab with Pazzo Gelato!“

“5 rating Vegan Delicious Pizza!! Slices, full pies, caesar salad, garlic knots, all house-made ingredients. cashew-based cheese. loved it!! As of October 2022, opened for 8 mos.“

“**A sweet slice of heaven in Santa Monica!** Junior Cookies is an absolute *gem*. I came in for the cookies (which are AMAZING – warm, gooey, and perfectly crisp on the edges), but I stayed for the whole vibe. Their ice cream is ultra creamy with rich, dreamy flavors that pair perfectly with the cookies—highly recommend making your own cookie cream with ice cream with cookies! I was also pleasantly surprised by how good their coffee is. It’s bold, smooth, and just what I needed to balance out the sugar rush. Honestly, it’s rare to find a cookie shop where the coffee actually stands out, but Junior Cookies gets it right. Best coffee, best cookies, best matcha, and best ice cream in la! The place is super cute inside, with a cozy neighborhood feel and friendly staff who seem genuinely happy to be there. You can tell everything is made with love. The cookies and recipes are unique. 5 star bakery in LA. If you're in Santa Monica, **don’t miss this spot**. Whether you’re craving dessert, a caffeine fix, or just want to treat yourself, Junior Cookies delivers!“

“The Gelato is delicious and the service is excellent. My boyfriend and i we're waiting on line for Jon Bellion merch on a hot day. I go in and I was greeted so kindly. There was also a baby and corgis that i got to pet. 10/10 pls go here. it's great ✨“

“Great service , great ambience, great margarita drinks overall, an awesome place with outdoor patio. Just beautiful.“

“We got the Classic ramen, and the vinegar karage. The ramen was some of the best I have ever had. It was not too heavy, but still filling and delicious. The oil proportions were excellent. The karage was unique and had a delectable sauce. For dessert, we had the matcha pudding, which had a great texture and good flavoring. I would definitely return!“
