    Usually when you go to a seafood boiler they give you a bucket and throw the stuff on the table... but here at a nice sit down restaurant you can other items that come on a plate and not thrown on the table... and they bring the boiler neatly ion a cooking pan... bucket also comes with gloves and bibs, along with crackers and other items to navigate through shrimp, king crab legs,, corn, and potatoes... so much better... since I ordered bread, calamari, and clam chowder with bread instead of the boil... everything was good... at my age eating with my hands are past... so having a place where you can have both is awesome... because our friends love eating with their hands... I'll be back if they decide to eat seafood with their hands... me... I will eat with a knife and fork...

    Louisiana Creole Approved!!!! Wow, just wow. There were a few other things I was not able to photograph because everyone was so excited about the food it got snatched up. Lol My mother was in town, and I told her about a place that has creole cuisine. Being born and raised in Louisiana, my mom has a very strong opinion on southern cooking. She ordered a cup of a the seafood gumbo and was blown away. My mom has never liked any restaurants gumbo outside of the south. However, this fine establishment was the first to win her seal of approval. Everything was well seasoned and absolutely divine. We ordered several entrées like the gumbo, steamed oysters, French bread and butter, kids chicken tenders, H0use, lobster, blackened catfish, beignets, margarita, strawberry lemonade and a Moscow mule. The food was great. The service was good. The atmosphere was peaceful. There were so many great menu items. It was hard to choose so I guess that means we'll have to continue to keep going back so we can try everything.

    Came here our last night of the trip. Nathan was the server, and he did an amazing job suggesting different foods for us to try. All the food we had here was 10/10. Definitely wished we had another night to come so we can try out the whole menu. But definitely will be back!

    Shrimp Etouffee, the rich and savory sauce, rice, grilled shrimp, vegetables, and arugula.

    Another date-night experience. My wife and I have a number of hometown favorite places to eat with friends and family. My wife also has a little phrase she likes to use on Friday mornings as we wrap up a busy week of work, family, home projects, and other commitments. She will inevitably turn to me, smile, and say, "Where are you taking me for dinner tonight?" Sometimes we enjoy returning to those familiar places where you can always count on a good meal, attentive service, and a comfortable setting. But this Friday, I was thinking, maybe not. How about a place with a menu that was a little unique to the Southern California community, but not necessarily international fare? That's when I came across Roux Seafood Kitchen. I always check the interior and exterior photos before trying a new restaurant because my wife notices things that I would never even think about or care about. For example, she immediately noticed the oyster shells as we walked to the door and the double glass doors as we left the restaurant. Both earned her seal of approval. The dining room and bar area were orderly, classy, and appeared clean and polished. This place was going to make the grade. I made reservations through the website's chat feature and received a prompt response, so we were set for the evening. We were greeted warmly at the door and escorted to a table with a "Reserved" sign on it. A corner booth by the window--perfect. The service was attentive throughout the evening. At least four different servers stopped by to check on us during the meal, and whenever we requested something, it arrived quickly. Every member of the staff was pleasant, engaging, and personable. As many other reviewers have noted, there are similarities to New Orleans-style cuisine. We, too, were reminded of the flavors and Cajun-inspired epicurean dining experiences we've enjoyed in the past. We topped off the evening with warm, sweet beignets covered in powdered sugar. It was a wonderful dinner and a pleasant evening, with just a little taste of Bourbon Street on Beach Boulevard.

    Whereas I do post reviews regularly and am mostly happy with them, seldom is it that I am deeply excited to write one. That being said, my first visit to Roux was impromptu. It has been on my list but it hasn't come up in quite a while so I forgot about it. We went around 6:15 and were greeted by a vent at the hosts desk. He asked if I had a reservation, and I didn't because I couldn't find a place on Yelp or their website to make one. He informed me that I could find it through Google or calling them directly. There was a large party in events room and the rest of the place was packed. He apologized twice that I'd have to wait and I told him I understood. It was literally less than five minutes! Brother, you did NOT have to apologize. We were seated in a booth toward the back and the people that attended to us were Quoc and Christine. Hands down absolutely STELLAR service! They have it down to a rhythm, top notch all the way! And with a packed house AND huge party event going on they were checking in on us often! Now onto the food. I told Christine to please give my kudos to the chef. The food was divine!! I've been to NOLA many times and this place is better than some places there! We ordered the Oysters Rockefeller, Mardi Gras Pasta, Shrimp & Grits, the Jambalaya, and the fried bananas for dessert. First off, you only need one entree per person, and tbh you can probably share one and an appetizer. Each dish was insanely delicious. Seasoned and cooked to perfection. And they do not skimp on anything! The number of shrimp they give you is more than ample and they are big! Not only that, the price point is awesome! I could go on and on but I'll wrap this up so that anyone reading this puts their phone down and rushes over to this place. Roux Seafood Kitchen PLEASE don't change a thing. What you're doing is the way it should be done. A master class in service, food creation, and presentation! Well done...well done!

    Do you crave a beautiful night out with your person? Do you crave a tempting menu with all your favorites and more? Do you deserve friendly attentive service and a comfortable and stylish room? If so, you will enjoy your night out at Roux! We got there early on Friday night. We are seniors! We were quickly seated and served water and menus. The menu is thrilling with all your Cajun favs (poor boy sandos!), we chose the shrimp etouffee, the lobster bisque and the fried oysters. If you prefer beef they have a tempting selection of steaks including a legendary tomahawk rib eye! Our Heinekens were $6 a bottle. The parking is free and easy! They have beignets for dessert! You will like this place, I promise!

    The atmosphere is cozy, the restaurant is small but very elegant, clean and neat. Food is so delicious. If you love seafood and steak, and want to have them at the same time, this would be the good choice! Service is good too. Servers here are really fast and care the guests so well. Definitely one of my fav places

    Came here with no reservations on a Saturday evening at around 6 PM. The place was packed particularly because the banquet room was rented out so they had a busy evening. We got the ribeye with the one side. I chose the garlic noodle. He chose the potato. The garlic noodle was just OK. I probably won't order this again. But the red potato was excellent! That was the big nice appetizer of the meal. The ribeye was great, good flavor and came out on a hot sizzling plate. The decor is decorated similarly to New Orleans and gives you that comforting feel. The weight staff is really friendly and does their best. I always appreciate coming here.

    Fried Calamari
    Michelle N.

    Came with my boyfriend's family for a dinner night. We made a reservation, but there was a good amount of seating when we came. I'd definitely make one in the case that more people start coming in! I got the Garlic Noodles with Ribeye Steak (Medium Rare). The steak was tender and well seasoned, but lots of fatty pieces were in there. Paired with the garlic noodles, it was great! You really can't mess up good noodles and steak. I also tried the Shrimp and Hot Sausage, but the sausage was dry. Definitely would stick to the steak. Prior to our meal, we also got the Fried Calamari that was addicting and crispy! Our server was incredibly attentive and quick. He also memorized our big order without writing it down! Props to him!!

    Food was great service was amazing too fast and easy to get too, I was impressed with the red beans and rice

    Atlantic Salmon Blanc
    Joseph N.

    My go-to Cajun restaurant in OC. On par w with some of the best I've had in Nola. Great seafood boil, fantastic beignets (evocative of the biegnets I've had at Loretta's in NOLA), and fantastic entrees. Very reasonable pricing. Dropped in on a Friday for the salmon blanc, perfectly cooked salmon with a luxurious white sauce and a crust to die for. Cannot recommend roux seafood enough.

    Linda S.

    Love love the price and the dishes we ordered. The server is always smiling and polite. He is also very tentive to out table. We went to Roux 2-3 times in the past months. Our usual orders are whole grilled squid , Mardi Gras pasta, shrimp and grits (extra hot), salmon with doy glazed and salmon with lemon garlic. The salmon comes with crispy skin and the both flavors are good. I love my shrimp and Grits extra temperature hot (and they did make it hot as be requested) love it. The squid is charred and grilled to perfection with or without dipping into the sauce. However, it did take a while to get our food, but the food always came out fresh and hot. We did not mind waiting for the fresh dishes right out the stoves. Did I say the price is very reasonable?? That is why with the price, the size,and the freshness of the dishes have us keep coming back. Love it!! Oh, I just learned if you pay cash, I think there is additional 5% off.

    Nice little spot, their clam chowder was really good, not the best but I would order again. Their gumbo was average to me, could be better imo. I also had there salmon fish which I thought was pretty damn good, just wish the portion size was a little bigger. Service was a little slow imo but it was kinda busy so I can let it slide. I would come back here.

Their kindness, professionalism, and warmth made a difficult time so much easier, and I am beyond grateful for the experience. The venue itself is stunning, elegant, light, airy, and uplifting, which was exactly what we wanted for this occasion. The room's clean, timeless aesthetic required little decoration, yet it felt warm and intimate. The table spacing was perfect, offering both comfort and closeness for our guests. The accommodations were top-notch. The team provided a large screen and laptop for our video montage, a cable to play personal music through the in-house speaker system, as well as a microphone and podium. They even supplied an easel for our loved one's portrait and an additional table for photographs, ensuring that every personal touch was seamlessly integrated. The linen selection was extensive, but we opted for classic all-white linens, which complemented the elegant setting beautifully. The service was impeccable. Ana and Bryana were not only responsive, professional, and incredibly accommodating, but also genuinely kind and authentic, a quality that extended to the entire staff. They ensured that everything ran smoothly, and their attention to detail did not go unnoticed. The water and tea pitchers were always full, plates were cleared discreetly, and the overall hospitality was second to none. The food was exceptional, our guests couldn't stop raving about it! While everything was incredibly delicious, the Waldorf salad, fresh vegetables, warm rolls, chicken and cookies were particular standouts. It's almost impossible to find a meal of this caliber for just $30 per person, making it not only a beautiful event but an outstanding value. Logistics were effortless. The club's entrance was easily accessible, parking was a breeze, and the staff even allowed me early access to set up table centerpieces and our photograph table. Set-up and breakdown were seamless, handled efficiently and professionally. If I had to describe this experience in one word: EXCEPTIONAL! The level of care, service, and quality provided by Mile Square Golf Course exceeded every expectation. I am so grateful to have chosen them for this special event and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a truly elegant, stress-free, and beautifully executed gathering.

Unfortunately the food was not authentic, I wish they had kept the chefs when they bought the Seafood World restaurant. I had been in this White Palace 2 many times before when it was called Emerald restaurant. This venue is the best, it was really a beautiful night club serving Chinese food. They had New Years eve party every year and I will miss these forever. So if you are looking for a restaurant for your wedding reception, this is it. Most people are not that fussy, I notice people enjoy the ambiance and the beautiful décor for a memorable experience, I speak from my experience, my sister had her big birthday party and everybody I asked just loved the food. VACF requested a donation of $60 pp. The menu was very short, not your usual wedding menu. 1) The appetizers just had some chewy seafood, fried dough and oranges not the usual cold cuts and other delicacies. 2) The only good dish was the fried prawns in special sauce over noodles. 3) They did not even have a beef dish, the tofu was so bland I could not eat it. 4) Hainan chicken was so chewy, very fatty/greasy and bland the green sauce that came with it was also bland. 5) The fish was filet not whole fish like in many weddings I went to but it was tasty. 6) The fried rice was so bland nobody ate it, don't they try to put a little more soy sauce, there was hardly any eggs or char siu, not even enough onions for flavor. When my sister had her birthday party, she ordered the full wedding menu w lobster and only 3 out of 10 dishes were tasty. I'm writing this for my sister and cousin to take note, I will not attend my cousin 3rd live concert at WP, their sound system was loud and had echos, the sound is better here at WP2 but the food is the same recipes, not delicious and not worth the $150 I usually paid. I will of course attend next year VACF to support cancer survivors including myself. This year VACF throw a big party here. Dr Bich Lien, the founder husband just passed away of cancer, my husband just had a craniotomy so I feel her pain, she is a wonderful oncologist and accomplished humanitarian. She organized this annual event, she gave a heartfelt speech to open the reunion, God bless her, we had photobooths, raffles, entertainment with a show w singers, karaoke and an amazing ballerina. I could not believe I won a raffle prize. I'm looking forward to this annual event, the food to me was not important,it's the ambiance and the vibes that count and that added 1 star to my review.

We had a wonderful…read morebeginning-to-end experience that included incredibly responsive, thorough, and professional communication with Jamie--the main contact in charge of booking, planning, and operational oversight. On the day of the event, Hope, Hai, Lola (bartender) and the remaining staff were unbelievably helpful, accommodating--and integral to our efficient set-up and smooth execution of a successful celebration. XO Lounge is a very posh venue with modern décor. The nightclub vibe and setup provided the core foundation--that minimized decorative needs for our graduation-themed event. Our event hosted approximately 150 guests--that we comfortably housed in the smaller nightclub event area. Despite opting out of seated dining, our area easily accommodated our guests with the use of the booths and lounge-style sofa set-up for central-space seating. We still had surplus space leftover--that was allocated for the dance floor and bar area. The nightclub further opens into an enclosed courtyard--allowing for additional cocktail tables, bar stools, and lounge-roaming for our guests. Our party featured a standard photo-booth setup with an 8-ft props table--as well as a 360-spinning video-booth in the front entryway lobby area (just to the left of entrance). Our 360-video-booth included an inflatable enclosure--that successfully fit in the entryway alcove. Our rented XO Lounge space features a stage with a floor-to-ceiling TV-grid. This large multi-screen TV--along with dozens of TVs lining the entire room-walls--cycled a slideshow of our graduate's photos throughout the evening. XO Lounge further features a full PA system, DJ plug-ins for surround sound (you must provide your own DJ/music/equipment), full nightclub equipment (e.g. spinning disco-ball light machines, fog machines, laser strobing, etc.), full bar & bartender staff, etc. I LOOVED that XO included all the needed tables of various lengths and sizes--with fitted fabric *tablecloths* included. Fabric tablecloths may seem like a minimal feature, but fitted cloth coverings elevate a sophisticated aesthetic while alleviating the patron from the added costs for these supplies. Hope oversaw our function and was so attentive--always offering to help with literally *anything*--to reduce stress for the hosts (I really appreciated that!). The venue was surprisingly affordable--with a nominal outside-catering fee; the staff were professional and delightful; and the party space and outdoor-courtyard areas fit our guests, photo/video-booths, food vendors, Welcome table, Sweets table, and largescale Balloon Arch. XO Lounge features one-stop-shop booking and planning services for all party needs, (i.e. catering, decoration, DJ, photo-booth vendors, etc.)--though we did not partake of these additional offerings. Hosting an event on this scale is stressful (IYKYK), but this venue and staff minimized the stress and streamlined our experience for a fantastic celebration. Our family would definitely book with XO lounge again for future event planning needs--and would highly recommend to our friends, family, and others. Our guests had the BEST time; and we had a GREAT PARTY celebrating our newest grad!

Communication was probably one of my favorite parts because I never felt like I was bothering them with questions, and they were always quick to get back to me and help with anything we needed. The day of the shower went perfectly and we got so many compliments from our guests about the venue! We're so happy we chose this place for such a special day and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a venue. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

    The best decision I made was marrying my wife, and Serendipity The Venue was the best decision we…read moremade to host the wedding! We got married here on Saturday, March 14, 2026 to coincide with the 10-year anniversary of our first date! My fiancée & I needed an ideal venue where we could get married and have everything all-inclusive (ceremony & reception) within Orange County, in one location. We came across Serendipity The Venue in Fountain Valley and saw the great reviews so we made an appointment to meet with the owner, Brad Ho in February 2025. From the moment we walked in, right away we saw the place was classy, beautifully decorated, and very large to easily host the 160+ guests we were inviting. I wanted to secure March 14, 2026 so I readily gave a deposit to ensure we had our date booked! We selected their top wedding package, The Serendipity Package and chose with the Asian 8-course dinner. What is fantastic about this package, it also includes two photoshoots. We did an engagement photoshoot in July (which turned out beautifully) and had the wedding photos the day of the wedding (both in a nearby park with the wedding party and in the venue during the ceremony and reception). So we also got the wedding photographers with our package, one less thing we needed to arrange! And they were pros, we're very impressed with how the pictures and videos turned out and captured the moment. We also appreciated they provided us a wedding coordinator (Maria) that works for them, and she ensured every detail came together as planned! We kept in touch with her regularly in the months leading up to our big day. The day of the wedding, March 14th, we were impressed by how they have a coordinated team that ensures everything flows smoothly! They had valet, professionally-dressed security, servers, bartenders, DJ, the photographers. For the reception the food was incredible, and the DJ, "DJ Charly" was engaging and made it a fun night! We're grateful to Brad, Carolina, and Maria for having this all come together. The wedding is behind us now and all our guests have been telling us for the past 2 weeks what a wonderful and incredible wedding we had! Thank you!! In appreciation, Kelly & Eva

The service was excellent, we got drinks there, the environment was bright, and the host guy was incredible to have to do the narrating for the entire wedding! I'm out of state from Seattle, so this place was absolutely gorgeous! Food was overcooked and dry. However the service was quick and super friendly! The servers are always taking any empty cups or plates off your hands. I recommend hosting your wedding here or referring a friend.

    Unfortunately, my experience with the venue was very disappointing. Several important amenities…read morethat were supposed to be available were not functioning properly, including the air conditioning, refrigerator, and freezer. There was also no security person provided, despite the expectation that one would be available. The person in charge of the venue at the time was present throughout the party acting like he was part of my guests and making comments to the women in my event which make them uncomfortable... He was not actively assisting with or resolving the issues that came up during the event. In the end, we had to handle the cleaning ourselves and put away the chairs, even though this should not have been our responsibility and we even paid for this service. To make matters worse, we were being pressured to leave as early as 10:40 p.m., even though our reserved time was until 11:30 p.m. Overall, the lack of working facilities, inadequate support, and the way we were treated at the end of the event made this a very disappointing experience. At this point I'm still waiting for a response and my deposit back from the owner. Venue overall is good and taken care of but the issues through out my event and the personal who supposed to be assisting on my event not doing his actual job makes me thing double about recommending to others and thinking if I want to reserve back to my future events

    I toured this venue and was genuinely excited about it. After the tour, they told me they'd email…read morethe contract the next morning, but it didn't actually arrive until that afternoon. I was at work and couldn't sign or pay the deposit right away. Within about 3 hours of receiving it, they messaged me to say the date was no longer available because another client had booked and paid in full. What frustrates me is that I was never told another client was also actively interested in the same date, especially given that their own delay in sending the contract ate into the time I had to respond. Had I known I was in a race for the date, I would have dropped what I was doing to secure it immediately. A simple heads-up, like "someone else is interested, you may want to prioritize this," would have changed everything. Instead, communication only came after the date was already gone. Overall, I found the process unprofessional and disappointing, and one that could have been avoided with a bit more transparency.

    We toured the Newland barn as a wedding venue rental. The Newland barn is owned by the city of…read moreHuntington Beach and offers hourly options with an array of prices depending on date and type of event. While it is a good option for a smaller wedding, I don't see it being a good fit for a larger wedding. They offer a barn with a smaller capacity (50-60 people I believe) and up to 200 people on the lawn. For a wedding ceremony, there's a gazebo. Parking is limited at the actual Newland barn site. However, parking is offered at the shopping center as an alternative.

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Newland Barn, and a huge part of that was thanks to…read moreRichard, the host. Richard is truly a great person with a genuine heart. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel incredibly welcome. He walked us through the grounds with such warmth and care, and it was clear how much he enjoys meeting people and helping them feel at home. He's polite, kind, and truly a blessing to work with. The grounds themselves are beautiful--well-kept, spacious, and full of charm. All of our guests had nothing but positive things to say. The wedding under the stars, surrounded by the soft glow of the Huntington Beach lights, created a magical atmosphere we'll never forget. We feel so grateful to have rented this place. If you're considering Newland Barn for an event, we can't recommend it highly enough, God bless Richard!

But when we hired her, we had NO idea what level of professionalism to expect, and frankly I was BLOWN away. From the first time we spoke, Vivian was detail-oriented and interested in what my husband and I envisioned for our special day. We loved that she was able to communicate with both of our families in English and Vietnamese, and provided amazing guidance for both our tea ceremony and our western wedding. Vivian had constant and consistent communication with us, our venue, and all of our vendors, so that by the time our big day came, EVERYONE was on the same page. Thanks to Vivian and her team, I was actually able to relax and enjoy my wedding, and I very much felt like I received the princess treatment. With Poetique, the dream of our romantic, fairtytale wedding became a reality. Thank you so much, Vivian! We are so grateful!

She was extremely thorough with each of these calls being 2 hours plus . I could not have executed this without her. I didn't know what I was looking for in a wedding coordinator because I didn't know what I didn't know about weddings She is very switched on planning out the whole day with a timeline , with keeping track of vendors , positioning us and walking us through every movement during dress rehearsal , last minute emergencies . She really cares about doing a good job. She had two assistants for our 184 person wedding who were also helpful with photography, last minute costuming , set up , coordinating with vendors and cueing people. Very good with handling last minute emergencies
