If you want customary arena food at an Anaheim Ducks game, you can get it at Honda Center. But if you want sushi, salmon or barbecue, the arena’s culinary team is prepared to supply it.
“We try to make sure we cover our bases with our guests, so if you’re in the mood for a hot dog and beer, we’ve got your covered,” said Roman Zavala, operations director for food and beverage services.
Honda Center serves 17,000-19,000 people at 26 food outlets during Ducks’ games, according to Zavala.
The Ducks’ opened their home schedule Oct. 12, defeating the Seattle Kraken 5-4. The hockey team is out on a road trip and will return to Honda Center on Oct. 26 against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
It has added menu items for outlets throughout the arena for the 2022-2023 season. Some of them are available at concessions stands, and some are served to guests occupying luxury suites. Brewery X Biergarten on the Club Level requires membership or single day passes during games, but is open to the public during concerts.
Upcoming concerts include the Who, Oct. 28; the B-52s, Nov. 5; and ATEEZ, Nov. 7-8.
