He was so attentive and very patient. Our group was chatty and spent a lot of time catching up before ordering, and he was very understanding and didn't rush us at all. We ordered so many dishes and all of them were delicious. The appetizers we got (Chicken wings, Spicy Wontons, and Fried Calamari) tasted great but small in portion considering the price. For entrees, I was super impressed with the Pork Tomahawk. It was very tender and flavorful. The Seafood Tom Kha pasta was unique and delicious. Steaks were prepared perfectly as well. We had a great time. For drinks, my friends liked the coconut ube brew. I had the sugarcane kumquat, it was too sweet for me.

I normally don't particularly like pho, it's my wife that makes me go. But the pho soup here is…read morequite delicious! If I eat food I usually leave the bowl of soup, but pretty much finished this one! If you can't decide which one to get, I'd recommend the combination pho. The worst thing you can do is see other people's food and wish you got theirs. Well no more FOMO thanks to the combo pho! My only pet peeve is we have a family of 5, but the hostess sat us at 4 top and stuck on a chair at the end. It gets pretty crowded on the table when we have an extra set of plate, bowl, cup, silverware, etc, so we're a little cramped. I wouldn't have batted an eye, but we came at 11:15 and the restaurant was way less than half full. But it's not the first nor last time it'll happen, so I'm not knocking off any stars because of it.

Worst service I have ever experienced on a Saturday lunch on August 15th. We signed up for the…read morewaitlist, but still had to wait another 20-30 minutes after our table was ready. Then, when we finally came into the restaurant, they asked us to walk back outside because they still needed to set up the table. I have no idea what needed to be set up when the table was already cleaned, especially when we had hungry, impatient children with us. Once we were finally seated and ordered our food, it took forever to arrive. Whenever we tried to get a server's attention, they seemed to avoid eye contact. We at least waited for 40 mins for our dishes to come to the table. The combination pho was definitely tasty. The broth and pickled onions really tell a story, and the food itself was enjoyable. However, I don't know if I would come back again because of this level of service. Good food can only go so far when the overall dining experience is this frustrating.

Recently visited this establishment twice, 2nd time to confirm my findings. Thai food here is…read moredelicious. While there are a few other spots in town that I would dub them supreme but for their offering, service, and ambiance, this is a great spot for business lunch, catch up, or family over delicious food. For this location, it is a bit small with limited seating. For large parties or families, you may have a longer wait time since tables need to be shuffled around. One of my favorite things to pair with our meal is their spice rack. If you are able to handle a bit of heat, ask for it and introduce the pickle chili to your dish. It elevates flavor with contrast quite well. Pad See Ew and Crab fried rice is what we ordered. The first visit had beef salad which paired great with the rest of the meal. Overall, stop by this location for good eats. FYI, parking can be tricky so be mindful about peak hours and carpool.

There were so many mushrooms and the garlic flavor was terrific. It comes with the green sauce, but it doesn't need it. The location is at South Coast Plaza with an outside entrance as well as an entrance through the mall. There's a restaurant area with seating inside and out, and a separate bar area with seating. We arrived too late for the happy hour (M-F 2-5pm), so we'll have to try it next time. We were seeing a show so didn't try any of the drinks, but the choices looked interesting and cool. Service was attentive - checking on us and filling water often. It's a great place to try if you're in the area.

I love the Squid Ink Uni Past as well! I usually get that for lunch and the Short Rib Gnocchi for dinner. My partner and I have tried a few things, the Duck Ragu has great flavor, but the meat is a little dry for my taste. If you're a crab lover, the Crab Spaghetti has a great strong crab flavor! The sound can get pretty loud in the restaurant. I think the building wasn't made with a love of sound proofing, but it does make the place feel more lively than intimate. Overall, I love going here with friends and family for a nice meal out.

They used to have a buy one, get one free deal, but they recently stopped offering it, so naturally I haven't ordered in a while. The atmosphere is super cute, and the tall bartender/manager was incredibly kind. I only sat inside at the bar once, to grab a quick drink, but every other time I've ordered takeout or pickup, the food has always been piping hot and absolutely delicious. My favorites are the lo mein, spicy edamame, and miso soup. So good! Definitely recommend.

The incredible quality of the food is matched by their outstanding service. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the hostess, Makayla. ​A huge shoutout to our server, Sila, who took first-class care of myself, my wife, and our 2-year-old. Even with the crazy crowds and heavy heat from the World Cup final event at Bosscat next door, Sila killed it. Her attentiveness, friendliness, and great menu suggestions were completely on point. She continually checked in on us to make sure we were set the entire time. ​We had a wonderful experience and cannot wait to return!

My friend and I happened to be in the area and came across a TikTok showing the food at VOX…read moreKitchen, and we immediately said, "Okay, we HAVE to try this place." And I am SO glad we did because everything about our experience was seriously a 10/10! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was amazing. The gentleman at the front greeted us and escorted us to our table, and right away we felt welcomed and comfortable. Our server, Quang, was absolutely the sweetest! He was so friendly, outgoing, attentive, and helpful, especially when it came to giving us recommendations since it was our first time there. He had such a positive energy and really made our experience even better. And the FOOD!!! If I could give it 1,000/10, I seriously would. We tried the Ube Cloud, Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Garlic Parmesan Fries, Spicy Shrimp Wontons, Corn Ribs, Garlic Butter Prawns, and Filet Garlic Noodles, and honestly, there wasn't ONE thing we didn't enjoy. Everything was full of flavor and absolutely delicious. But what really stood out to us was that it wasn't just the food -- it was the entire experience. The staff, the atmosphere, the music, and just the overall vibe made us feel so comfortable and welcomed. The music they were playing was amazing too! My friend and I were enjoying ourselves, eating good food, listening to good music, and just having such a great time. The whole place honestly had such a warm, homey feeling to it. When we were leaving, the gentleman who had greeted and seated us earlier ended up having a whole conversation with my friend and me. He was so sweet and personable! He mentioned that they may be opening a location in Culver City, and I told him I really hope they do because that would be much closer to home for me. I was even joking with him that if they open one, they need to bring the whole staff from this location over there too because everyone here was THAT amazing. At the same time, even if there ends up being a location closer to me, I would honestly still make the drive back to this one. When you visit somewhere for the first time and have such a great experience, that location becomes special. You can visit the same restaurant somewhere else, but the people, atmosphere, and experience aren't necessarily going to feel the same. This location definitely left that kind of impression on us. I really hope this review reaches management because the staff here deserves the recognition. Everyone we interacted with was wonderful, and Quang especially took such great care of us. This was our first time at VOX Kitchen, but it DEFINITELY won't be our last. We're already talking about coming back and bringing our family and more of our friends so we can all enjoy it together. 10/10 food. 10/10 service. 10/10 atmosphere. 10/10 experience. You guys definitely gained some returning customers!

Saltado fries with picanha: fries were deliciously fried so that it's crispy but doesn't get soft in the saltado sauce. The picanha was super tender and juicy! Vox pear salad: a refreshing starter with a healthy bed of arugula on top of burrata and pear. The balsamic glaze really pulled it together! Corn ribs: just finger licking delicious Chifa fried rice with filet mignon: fried rice was solid but didn't have the most wok hey flavor that I usually like. It was a bit too moist for fried rice. Filet mignon was a bit tough, but flavor was good! Garlic noodles with crispy salmon: yummy salmon and yummy garlic noodles (could be more garlicky). I wonder if these two could have been more cohesive together somehow, but both individual parts were good! My friend told me this restaurant's owner had a few other fusion restaurants in the plaza, so I'll have to try those as well!
