Soft music played in the background, and the traditional Japanese decor gave the restaurant a warm, relaxing feel. Our server was friendly and respectful, and the food came out quickly and hot. We ordered the Pork Loin Katsu Curry and the Cheese Pork Katsu. The pork loin was cooked really well, with a crispy, golden crust and a tender, juicy interior. The curry was flavorful and comforting without being spicy, making it an easy choice if you prefer a milder Japanese curry. The Cheese Pork Katsu was also excellent. The melted cheese added a creamy richness that complemented the crispy pork well. Both meals also came with miso soup, which had a clean flavor, and a side of shredded lettuce with dressing that helped lighten up the richness of the fried dishes. Overall, everything was prepared well, the service was great, and the restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for a reliable spot for Japanese curry and katsu, I'd definitely recommend it and would happily come back again.

Anyway today was early evening midweek and no wait. The spicy garlic edamame was great and I appreciate that the sauce was thick enough to stick to each piece. The New Style Sashimi is thin cut and topped with interesting things. However it wasn't interesting enough for me to order again. We tried the Yellowtail and the Salmon. The beef teriyaki uses a quality ribeye. We loved it but next time we'll see if we can ask for it not to be cooked well done. Also next time we want to try the Beef Bulgogi. Don't forget to order a little side of rice to go with it. The Vegas Roll was good but got boring after a while. I'm madly in love with the riceless, Caliente Roll that by default is wrapped in soy paper. So much flavor and great texture! They have Chardonnay wine, not Sauvignon Blanc, which was slightly disappointing. They have beverages like Diet Coke. They have a limited selection of Japanese beers as well as Sake. I got myself a hot tea. Service and ambiance are great!

That's what we did. Went inside of the building and up the stairs to find Vox Kitchen! We walked past Vox Kitchen and went to the map. The map told us to hang a left and then make a right after you see the eye glass store. So, I guess it was easy to find. When we finally got there. There was a line! But to our surprise, the wait was about 15-20 minutes long. Not bad at all. While we were waiting, one of the partners, Steve (I think his name was) was so nice and told us how to order and showed us the menu so we'd be ready once we were seated. We ordered the squid ink and the spicy ramen, both were delicious! As a side, we got their fried dumplings, and a side of pork belly and tamago. Everything was so good that we are already planning for next time there!

For food, we ordered the rafute Berkshire pork belly, which was stewed to perfection. I did wish it came with rice, though, especially since it was $18.50. We also got the Habuya soba, the noodles were chewy and delicious, and the broth was amazing. The fried squid was also so fresh and delicious! We also got the mackerel, which I'd probably pass on next time. I think it could've used a bit more time with the seasoning so it would be saltier and have more flavor. Overall, everything was delicious! The service was amazing, they were attentive and friendly. It's a small shop, but the vibes are cozy and nice. Definitely worth checking out!

There is plenty of seating in the food court for a quick sit down meal. I opted for the 12-piece Gyutan set, which cost around $35. They offer a generous portion of rice, served with their gyutan soup. Their pickled veggies were a nice palette cleanser. Onto the beef tongue, it was delicious. I wish the pieces were thicker slices. Whether they give portions by weight or just pieces, it was disappointing when some pieces were drastically smaller than others. Flavors were pleasant with the beef tongue taste, but lacking a touch of salt. Overall, Gyutan was good! Would definitely come back to enjoy quality beef tongue. The meat was tender, and the meal was filling.

Everything was cooked to perfection, but my favorites were the chicken thigh and green onion skewer and the Kurobuta pork with yuzu. Both were so good!

The seasoning was just right, and you could really taste the depth of flavor that comes from the time put into making it. The service was really nice as well. They checked in to see if we had any questions and told us about the skewers of the day. It is a bit pricey, but I guess that comes with the quality of the ingredients they use.

This is a very popular Japanese place in Old Tustin. As you can see the menu is enormous. They have…read moresushi, skewers, ramen, udon... You name it. I had the salmon and avocado handroll as well as the crab handroll. Both were good. I also had the OC roll and grilled salmon -- also very good. Some Asian places tend to overcook their meat. The salmon was cooked well ... I would have preferred a tad more rare, but it was good and not dry. My son had the salmon sashimi as well as lamb chops. He wanted a little more seasoning in the lamb chops but says they were cooked well. I think Japanese food tends to be conservatively seasoned in general. Other dishes also looked good. I thought everything was good but didn't think anything was amazing. My wife particularly appreciated that just about all of the menu items had pictures! Service was good and friendly even though they all seemed a little harried.
