I like how they constantly reinvent their menu. Everything is always really good, the flavors are unique but familiar. The garlic noodles re always great. We got the crab and shrimp. Both outstanding. The shrimp was a little spicier than the crab. They have these new pork belly wraps which were interesting. The pork belly was very crispy! The crab omelet is always really good. Super for not dried eggs topped with loads of crab meat. Also got the beef tongue fried rice. I thought the rice was a little too mushy this time. Shaken beef was a crowd favorite but I personally thought the rice they used didn't pair very well. The beef was very soft and tender. The kids at the table couldn't get enough of it! Our waitress was lovely and provided excellent service. I always have a good time at almost every Kei concept restaurant.

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.

Warningg** veggie pho is not vegetarian.. They have in small font showing its made with beef. But most older people dont read since its so small already on the phone. Honestly makes no sense because why would someone pay almost $17 for veggie pho if its in beef broth if they eat meat. We only found out because we asked for extra noodle and the noodles came with broth. my aunt was nice about it and didnt make a scene. But the waiter did mention that he will remember to double check next time to make sure customers know its not vegetarian. +0.5 for service.

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.

This was my first time coming to a Seven Grams restaurant and I loved everything we ordered. My…read morefavorite thing, by far, were the black and gold lava buns. Those were incredible. They weren't too sweet and had a hint of salt. You could also still taste the natural flavors of the egg yolk. Absolutely delicious! I also enjoyed the lotus root crispy fries. Do not be alarmed if you bite into one and find a stringy substance in there. That is normal apparently. It was my first time trying lotus root crispy fries and I enjoyed them a lot! More than I thought I would. The tomato beef noodles were also delicious as well. I thought the noodles were cooked perfectly and the broth was very tomato-y and beefy. The only thing was the kale. It really didn't do anything to the dish so other than just being a green, leafy veggie, it really didn't need to be there. Same with the parsley. The beef rolls were also quite nice. I thought that the ones I had dine-in were perfectly crispy with just the right of sauce to not overpower the other ingredients in the roll. Also, some places skimp on the meat and fill up the "beef" roll with too much cucumber. I thought this place was very balanced with the beef and cucumber! I did however, order a second beef roll to go and noticed that they didn't put enough sauce. So, that seemed a little inconsistent. I also ordered the spicy wontons and they were so delicious that I ordered a second one to go! Overall, I thought the experience was a great one. The service was good and friendly. The food was delicious. I will say that it gets quite busy. There was a large amount of people still waiting outside the restaurant after we finished eating. Definitely expect a wait (but it'll be worth it)!

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.

We got the mentaiko pizza, fried cauliflower, calamari, crab spaghetti, and seafood pasta. The portion sizes here were quite large for the price. The mentaiko pizza was delicious. The crust was nice and flaky and the mentaiko flavor was strong, 10/10. The calamari and cauliflower were also great, both came out fresh and hot, 8/10. The seafood pasta was delicious as well. They make their pasta in house and noodles were super bouncy! 8/10. The crab spaghetti was a highlight of the meal. The crab flavor was super strong and it was topped with ricotta and lemon. The lemon really pulled the whole dish together, 10/10. We came on a Saturday afternoon and it was very busy, but we only had to wait about 10-15 min to be seated. The restaurant had a lot of natural lighting and plants inside so the ambiance was great! I will definitely be coming back!

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.

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!
