Such a great experience here!! My boyfriend and I visited while we were in town and we were…read moredefinitely impressed. Ambiance: pretty loud on a Saturday but we were also next to a large group celebrating a birthday. The aesthetic was cute and clean. Service: Oanh was our waitress and her, along with all other staff, were super nice and helpful. definitely felt like a team effort of workers and it showed Food: YUM!!! We liked everything! - garlic chicken wings: 8/10- paired well with the sauce, though I think it would also taste really good with a side of white rice. Very garlicky and tasty! - crab congee: 9/10- tasted very buttery once mixed, very Vietnamese fusion but I really enjoyed it and my boyfriend (who grew up eating congee) said this might be the best congee he's ever had! It is very unique in terms of flavor in my opinion - ribeye garlic noodles: 8/10 meat was cooked well and it was a solid dish! - lychee lemonade: 10/10 so worth it!! It is free refills and super refreshing. If you like lychee you'll like this drink! Would recommend. Overall we had such a great experience and can't wait to come back!

Service was great, Trisha provided great service. Wouldn't wait around too long. She refilled the…read morewater jug without asking. She did let us know the kitchen is slightly behind as well. There were a lot of booths inside and lots of tables on the side and outside seating. Outside seating is pet friendly but bit crowded. Two restrooms in the back, and it even offers complimentary mouthwash! Food is absolutely amazing! The pear salad was light and fresh, with great simple flavors. It's arugula with candied walnuts, and under is burrata with Asian pear. The carne asada tostada is a very small plate, but seems more of an appetizer. Great flavor for a small dish. Saltado with Filet Mignon and Garlic Noodles were very delicious, especially the chewy and soft noodles. The meat is very tender, the fries ok, a bit overcooked. Great place for family sharing. The Saltado is $25 and a big portion.

Another Kei Concepts banger. My group of 3 ordered the Beef Carpaccio, Prosciutto & Burrata Pizza,…read moreSpicy Miso Udon, and Pork Tomahawk (seasonal) and we went home with just a tiny bit of leftovers. My personal favorites were the pizza and the tomahawk. The burrata is extremely fresh, and the pizza holds up well with all the toppings on top of a crispy thin crust. This paired well with the heavier tomahawk as our main protein choice. The pork cooked perfectly but was maybe a bit on the fattier side (the fennel salad and the pumpkin puree definitely helped cut that). Our server was attentive and always quickly refilled our water and offered us more drinks. Even on a late Wednesday evening, the restaurant was crowded but not chaotic, a nice place to catch up and enjoy a meal together!

Was super excited to try ini's new innovative dishes so we ordered all 3! We got the mala lamb, cod…read moreroe pasta, and duck ragu. My favorite was definitely the duck ragu. It was well priced with heavy chunks of duck. I wish it was a little more saucy though. It reminded me of Chinese roast duck flavors in a pasta. The mala lamb wasn't very mala even with the mala honey but it was very yummy. The lamb was ground and soft so it didn't really have a bite to it and there was some kind of white sauce at the bottom of the pizza which wasn't cream but almost like the white sauce in Mediterranean lamb platters. The cod roe pasta didn't have very strong crab flavor but it was super creamy with the cheese on top and the flavors were light and delicate. My only complaint was the smaller portion. Highly recommend trying the duck ragu! It had hints of sweetness and a nice flavor of duck if you like duck. All the dishes were also around 20-25 dollars which is extremely well priced especially the pizza. Service and ambiance is also always top tier here.

Absolutely delicious! I had the crème brûlée egg latte and the curry crab omelette, and both were…read moreamazing. Everything was so flavorful and unique--I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! They had an amazing vibe throughout the whole café. My waitress was also so sweet and friendly, which made the experience even better. Great food, wonderful service, and such a lovely experience overall. I will definitely be going back!

I've been coming here multiple times, but this time around, the service was really disappointing…read more The quality of the food has definitely gone downhill, and for a restaurant at this price point, I honestly can't believe there isn't even AC. But the worst part of the experience was finding a hair in my food. I brought it to their attention, and they took the plate back. Instead of making me a fresh dish, they simply removed the hair and brought the same plate back to me. Honestly, I could have done that myself. For the price you pay here, I expected much better service, food quality, and attention to detail. Very disappointed, especially because I've been here several times before and had much better experiences.

Sona Fusion Kitchen!…read more Located in a shopping plaza that both has businesses that have been there for ages, but has more switch over businesses. Currently I have seen the restaurants that pop up in this location, ive seen it at least 6 different things. I will say Sona is the first one that actually caught my eye to try, and I am super happy that I decided to come here during my lunch break. The pictures I uploaded are just the few other times I have come here. As someone said it best in one of the reviews, a Vox dupe. One thing they do have over Vox kitchen, most times there is no wait, at least the few times I have gone. There is plenty of parking, never had an issue. They are also open late which to get this kind of food at that late or early times, thats a damn treat! Inside always kept clean, the staff that work there are very friendly and on top of things. They checked up on us in a timely matter, cleaned tables as soon as diners left. The food came out pretty quickly too. Here is what I have had: Spicy Shrimp Wontons - These were good but I felt like they could have been better, mind you I had these not too long after they opened, seeing recent reviews it seems like this could have gotten better, I will try these again and update. Regardless they were still good! Lomo Saltado Shaken Fries: Each time I have gotten them has been the filet mignon, why because each time I have had them it has been too good, cooked perfectly for a nice texture, seasoned well that it doesnt over power other things, but more so compliments but uppercuts the tonsil to let you know its got beef with you. Now I have had this with rice and garlic noodles. I recommend going garlic noodles because they are delicious, lots of garlic! You know what compliments garlic very well....STEAK! I have said one thing Vox has on them with this dish, is Vox french fries are still super crispy even with sauce on them. I will say the last time I ordered this dish (last week) each time they have gotten better with the crunch! I will try the other proteins offered in due time! Golden Pear Salad: Delicious! Now I can't tell you if there serving size of this salad is bigger at Vox, but eating the salad totally made me forget about it. I am half lactose...my stomach decides what or when I will react to dairy, but that burrata cheese mixed with everything in the salad, it needs that creamy cheese to hold the sweetness and pepper like from the arugula. I will say I didn't dodge the burrata cheese and luckily it never got me, so huge win win! I also want to say I think its cheaper here than the vox, so its more manageable to always have this to start before the entrees. Signature Vietnamese Pho - Wife ordered this last visit with wagyu brisket, pretty solid bowl of pho. Is it my favorite no, but its better than a lot of others places I have been too. I think it will easily be a hit for tourists going to disneyland that has never tried Pho. In conclusion, Sona Fusion Kitchen has been a place that myself and the wife will crave. It also has been a easy recommendation for any one at work to go try. I know I have a few co-workers that have been multiple times now. For anyone at Disneyland looking for a place to eat, come through! I want all the business to support Sona but at the same time I enjoy not having to wait to be seated! Feast Well Fellow Yelpers!

I felt like it was decently priced, and the service was pretty good! The restaurant itself was pretty casual, like we walked in and it kinda felt zen, you ate while you watched tv videos of food being made! Small perk if you work at Disneyland you get 10% off! But anyway, honestly must try!!

I LOVE THIS PLACE…read more Don't let the simple decor fool you - the chicken here is hands down one of the best hole in the wall locations for chicken that I've been to. Unlike your typical rotisserie or fried chicken, this place roasts their chicken in a large clay pot and the marinade is definitely not something that you can find easily. The smell of the chicken is so inviting on its own but you won't be able to smell it outside of the restaurant - gather some confidence and open that door! We got 1 whole chicken, bot chien, crispy rice, and a side of dry noodles. All of the sides are great - I've tried at least 1 option every time I come back here but my favorite is the dry noodles and crispy rice. Their chicken pairs TOOO WELL with the pickled veggies and their special soy sauce. I like mixing a little salt, pepper and lime in mine to make it extra sour but honestly, the chicken is great even without the sauce. It's a small restaurant and flagging down servers is not difficult but I love that they will come to check in on you pretty often without you putting out any effort. I've been here when it was super busy and when it's a little more free, the servers are nice, friendly & really responsive Pro tip : get more than 1 soy sauce!! You DEFINITELY will not be sharing it!

4.5 !!!!!…read more I love love love loooooove Vietnamese food so much! It's become a top 3 cuisine for me! I either crave Spring rolls, Banh khot, Oxtail pho, egg rolls or egg noodle soup, viet wings and there's still many more things to try! One of my friends I met at personal training asked me out to lunch. We always eat well and this place was already on my list so I was game! Came in at a perfect time, right after a lunch rush. Sat down looked over the menu, pretty straightforward. Service was lovely, a little bit of language barrier but good nonetheless. We started with the Bot chien ( crispy rice cake with egg.) She asked if there was pork in the dish and they said no, she can't eat pork. It came out and it looked fantastic, looked like an omelet. I love eggy dishes! This was fantastic, definitely add a sauce like Sambal or Sriracha. We were off to a great start! But we came for the star of the show, Clay jar chicken with dry noodles!!! They set the bowls down and everything looked fantastic and smelled even better! A generous bowl of egg noodles, chicken and a side of broth in case you want to dip or just throw it in the bowl. We got to grubbin and it was instant love at first bite! The chicken was so tender and flavorful. We noticed these little cubes of tasty bits, we didn't know what they were because we didn't see it on the description, she already had a piece, we thought it was some sort of crispy bread crumb bits LOL. We asked the service and come to find out, it was crispy pork called Top Mo. We told them she can't have pork, they took the plate back. After a few minutes they came back. She asked is it a new dish or did you just pick them out. They picked them out. This is where the language barrier came into play. They didn't understand for a bit. I said she can't have pork because of her religion. That's when it clicked! Thank the Lord! Out came a fresh porkless new bowl and she could enjoy with me. They should've given me her previous bowl to go LOL I'm the pork Queen LOL. Overall a fantastic meal and I've been thinking about this meal for awhile. I need a reunion stat!!! Just so many good Vietnamese dishes in the area, it's hard to choose! I will be back!!!

What interesting is the table set up, it was covered with paper for ease to clean. I ordered garlic noodles with prawn, as in the menu, and learnt that the protein can be changed to anything they have (chicken, beef or pork). It is a 10/10, very tasty and the garlic tasted perfect, not too much yet still quite dominant. The lady who served also a sweetheart. I would definitely come back to try their other delicious food.

This establishment is located in a plaza with ample parking. What we got: - Baked clams - my mom and dad like seafood, and they approve - Deep fried calamari - my partner likes calamari, and he approves - Grilled pork spring rolls - pretty good, though I don't think I would get it again because the pork was a bit dry - Salmon belly spring rolls - wow I would definitely get this again next time, even if it's a bit pricey! the salmon belly is so buttery and soft - Grilled filet mignon or pork vermicelli bowl - family friend ordered this since she wasn't too familiar with Viet cuisine; I'd say this is a safe option if you're not used to Vietnamese food - Beef chow fun - the noodles are so crunchy and doesn't soak up the sauce/soup at the bottom too much thankfully so it wasn't too soggy. The veggies were cooked and seasoned well, but I wish there was a bit more beef on this dish Everything was delicious and it's a good restaurant to take my picky parents to if we want to have a nicer sit down family dinner. The restaurant was clean and the service was good!

Momonoki has been on my list of restaurants to try since it first opened and I'm so happy I finally…read moregot to go this weekend! We went on Friday night and I was surprised that we were seated right away. The service was great and friendly and the restaurant itself felt cozy and high-end. We ordered the garlic parm fries, momonoki chicken wings, and dashi pesto. The garlic parm fries were crispy and fresh and were like the best version of a McDonald's or Potato Corner fry. I could smell the garlic as soon as the fries came to the table but unfortunately, the taste wasn't as strong as I was hoping. Still really delicious, but the high price point means I probably wouldn't order this again. The chicken wings came out next and they were HUGE. They were super juicy inside and the fish sauce glaze was strong and had a nice kick. I appreciated that despite being glazed, the wings were still pretty crispy. The slaw that came on the size was a little heavy on the mayo and had a bright peppery taste. Definitely a nice fresh component to an otherwise heavy meal. Finally, the dashi pesto came out and the udon was perfectly bouncy. The pesto had a subtle seafood flavor and was very herbaceous. Most pesto I'm used to pack more of a sharp, garlicky punch, but this one leaned heavily into the fresh basil which I enjoyed. The scallops on top were also cooked beautifully. I was a bit sad that we received each dish at very different times, the dash pasta coming out much much later than the fries but they did warn us after we placed our order that the kitchen would be very busy so I appreciated the heads up. All in all, I think this is such a fun and classy fusion restaurant and they executed very well.

The restaurant was bustling and it was clear everyone there was having a good time. Even though we were only at the bar for a short while, I could tell that this was a place I would definitely come back to.
