After the Park

Where to Eat After a Day at Huntington Central Park


Huntington Central Park covers about 350 acres on both sides of Goldenwest Street, which makes it easy to lose half a day there. The food inside the park is breakfast and lunch at the two cafes and quick bites from the BBQ stand. When the loop around the lakes is done and you want a hot bowl of noodle soup instead, Fire Pho is 2.6 miles up the same street.

The park pulls people in for different reasons. Dog owners use the separate big-dog and small-dog areas off Edwards Street. Disc golfers play the 18-hole course that has been there since 1977. Families walk the 18 acres of trails and wetland at the Shipley Nature Center. Over on Talbert, the Central Library fills up so fast that students say it runs out of seats.

Ask around online and the same question keeps coming up: what's a good place to eat close to the library or the park? Our answer is a bowl of pho: hot, filling, and on the table in minutes. If you just want something warm after a game at the Sports Complex, Noods & Soup Only is $9. For the full story on the broth, read our guide to pho in Huntington Beach.
