    Here is the photo of the QR code in the food court.

    False advertisement. There are QR codes all around this food court, advertising $10 off a purchase in exchange for a review. When I tried to use this at Cha Redefine, they told me that they cannot honor this because this QR code has been invalid since the holiday season and that no vendor in the food court accepts this anymore. It's now July, so I wonder, if this QR code is no longer valid, then why is it still all over the place? It's quite deceptive and inconvenient.

    Got an iced matcha latte 50% sweet with oatmilk at Cha Redefine. Very smooth texture and good flavor. A tiny bit too milk heavy, but otherwise one of the better matchas I've had. I would return to try other items. Online ordering through Toast was easy. Tuesdays you get a 20% discount for members.

    Love coming to Collage at South Coast after work on Friday! So many affordable and delicious options. There's something here for everyone. My favorite spots are Paradise Dynasty and Le Shrimp Ramen, but I've had the boba from the tea house and it was really good as well! Love this take on a mall food court!

    A visit to the Collage Culinary Experience/Food Court is a must for all foodies! It is conveniently located in South Coast Plaza by Bloomingdales on the first and second floor entrance. They'll have everything from Le Shrimp Noodles, Paradise Dynasty dumplings, Bruxie waffles, Cha Redefine tea/boba, and of course Pho Holic. So many of these shops are family friendly and can accommodate large groups. It's a casual spot for weekly nights or weekends. *tip, Many of these restaurants offer happy hour or weekday deals. Employees are kind even when it gets so crowded at times. I do wish they would host more events or celebrations around here.

    A Must-Visit for Pho Lovers! I recently visited Phoholic at the Costa Mesa mall area, and it completely exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality Vietnamese comfort food in a modern, vibrant setting, this is the spot. Why I Loved It: The Broth: The soul of any pho is the broth, and Phoholic nails it. It's clear, fragrant, and incredibly deep in flavor without being overly greasy. You can tell they take their time simmering it. Fresh Ingredients: The beef was tender and high-quality, and the herbs (basil, sprouts, lime) were crisp and fresh. The Vibe: Located within the culinary experience area, the atmosphere is energetic and cool--perfect for a quick lunch or a casual dinner with friends. Service: Even when they're busy (which is often!), the staff is efficient, friendly, and gets the food out surprisingly fast.

    Honestly way better than expected for a mall location. We came to the South Coast Plaza location expecting "solid food court pho" and ended up genuinely impressed. The broth was rich, clean, and deeply beefy without feeling heavy or overly salty. Meat portions were generous, noodles had great texture, and everything tasted fresh. The egg rolls were a hit with the kids, service moved fast, and it was surprisingly easy for a family lunch in the middle of shopping chaos. Is it the absolute best pho in Little Saigon? Maybe not -- but for convenience, quality, and consistency, this really delivered. If you're at South Coast Plaza and debating random mall food vs PhoHolic, this is the move.

    The pho was delicious--rich, flavorful broth, tender meat, and generous portions. Really comforting and authentic taste! Service mindset could improve.

Every single dish was dialed in with bold, balanced flavors and high-quality ingredients. Hanuman's Ceviche: The menu calls this out in all caps as "DEFINITELY A MUST TRY!!!" and it completely lives up to it. Fresh yellowtail ceviche prepared Hanuman-style, served with crispy shrimp chips for the perfect crunchy, citrusy starter. Green Papaya Salad: A staple done to perfection. Tangy, crisp, and refreshing with the right amount of punch to kick off the meal. Panang Curry with Hanger Steak: Incredible flavor. The curry has a rich salty-sweet profile with kaffir lime leaf, citrus zest, and unshelled edamame. The hanger steak was cooked to a tender, juicy medium rare. Hanuman's Fried Rice: Fantastic balance of sweet and savory, packed with flavor from the combination of Chinese sausage, Isaan sausage, eggs, garlic, and onions. Everything from start to finish exceeded expectations. Easily one of my favorite Thai spots in Orange County.

There is, however, one very important caveat for anyone with a seafood allergy: please ask questions before ordering. I was surprised to learn that almost every meat and vegetarian dish either contains seafood products or is prepared in the same oil or water as seafood dishes. The fries, vegetarian dishes and components, most meats (with the exception of the ribeye), and the noodles are therefore not options for someone with a seafood allergy. This was honestly a huge disappointment because I was dying to try the garlic noodles, corn ribs, tostada, and so many of the other incredible dishes on the menu. A much more prominent allergy note would be extremely helpful for guests who need to navigate the menu this way. Thankfully, what I could eat did not disappoint. The lychee lemonade was refreshing and delicious, and the pear salad was outstanding and beautifully prepared. For my entrée, the kitchen graciously prepared a steak fried rice without the seafood sauces and components. The steak was cooked perfectly, the rice was full of flavor, and the spicy green sauce on the side was a fantastic addition. And a special shoutout to our server, Tran, who was truly wonderful. She was warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating throughout our entire lunch. The restaurant was packed and she was juggling a lot of tables, yet she remembered every detail of my allergy requests and even checked in when my customized dish took a little longer than expected. That level of attentiveness makes a difference. Vox is clearly a restaurant worth experiencing. The food is exciting, the flavors are memorable, and the service was excellent. For those without seafood allergies, there is an impressive amount to explore. For those of us with allergies, the options are unfortunately very very limited, but the kitchen and staff made a real effort to accommodate me, and I truly appreciated that.
