    Wor Wonton Soup
    Shanae V.

    I wanted some soup and I decided to try a new place. The wonton soup was different than what I was used to but it was pleasant. Their egg rolls was amazing! The quality is way better than the "regular" egg rolls other places offer. This has now become one of my "go-to" places if I want some soup or egg rolls and I have to try their other items as well. They give a free can beverage if you check in as well.

    The food is always so bomb and so is the service. It's a must eat authentic Chinese bistro

    Amazing Pad Thai, Vegetable Fried Rice, and A10. Cream Cheese Fried Wonton (6)!

    Phenomenal food! These reviews do not justify how tasty, high quality, and diverse the food is here! I visited this delightful shop with my club, and everyone could not get enough. Fresh, refreshing food, authentic tea, and amazing ambiance. I've never liked cheese wonton, but their's is heavenly. It melts in your mouth and is sweet. #kissedbyanangel This Chinese restaurant has me craving for more! I recommend all my friends here now! Definitely a hot spot for vegetarian delight!

    Big portion. Great flavor. Not too salty or oily. I ordered sesame chicken and teriyaki chicken. The breading wasn't too much on the sesame chicken. Vegetables were good. Noodles not cooked too long. Rice delicious. Sesame chicken was very tender and super bomb. Overall delicious plate. Nice decor, clean newer place. Will be back.

    Fair price and great food and service with a smile

    Always so friendly and fast. Not so fast that the food is sitting under a heat lamp, this we know as we can always see the cook, Chinese, moving so quick preparing our fresh food. About the only thing that may be frozen and then quick fried is the egg rolls and won tons, but they are good. Decent pricing too v

    KungPao Chicken

    Tried it for the first time, I ordered the lunch specials of KungPao Chicken, Chowmein, Pepper Beef and Beef Pad Thai. Flavorless food.. KungPao Chicken- They are strips of chicken with a lot of onions and vegetables and it is not spicy at all it was flavorless Pepper Beef- Obviously it's peppered beef so it has a huge amount of pepper however once you eat the beef the texture of the beef is kind a different very soft like it's just been over cooked more than one time Pad Thai- I have had my fair share of this dish and let me tell you horrible.. The noodles were extremely soggy to the point that I was trying to serve them out of the container and they smooshed like mashed potatoes again no flavor to the food Will never order again, was very disappointed

    Very nice dining room.  This was at 1pm on a Saturday.   Shortly after I took this photo, a family of 5 came in so it wasn't always empty.

    In an area where there are as many Chinese quick service restaurants as there are Starbucks, it's important to find a unique way to draw people to your place. This place is kind of tucked into a corner and hard to see unless your driving east on Chapman Ave. Even then, you have to be looking for a restaurant to really notice it. When I pulled up around 1pm on a Saturday, there was only one other customer, but I was greeted immediately with a very friendly welcome. Not overly aggressive to immediately take my order, she let me peruse the menu until I was ready. The place is very clean and well decorated. In talking with the woman behind the counter, they've only been open since last summer and she said people are still finding them for the first time. I ordered the Orange Chicken, lunch portion (there's a dinner portion as well). She asked what kind of side dish I wanted, fried rice, white rice, chow mien, etc. I opted for white rice as I like simple foods. Total cost - $7. Not bad for what you get. I checked in on Yelp so received a free soft drink. My order was to go so I waited a nice oversized comfy chair until it was ready. They don't make the food until you order it. When I got home, the food was still hot and tasted excellent. They added veggies to the orange chicken which most places don't. The orange chicken was very moist. The portion size was perfect. Towards the bottom of the dish, the orange sauce had settled so it was a little to much for me. Probably wouldn't happen when eating in though. Overall, I rate it in between a traditional sit down Chinese restaurant and quick service pull from the pan place. I'll definitely eat here again when I'm in the area. I might even dine in next time.

    They added broccoli stem as broccoli..... -_-

    Wow. This is by far the WORST Chinese food I've ever had, and I've had really terrible Chinese food in my life. The "orange chicken" tasted like dried frozen chicken was flavored with fruity pebbles. Ordered chicken with chow mein for $1 extra but it smelled like plastic for some reason.... so disappointed. Don't order from here

    Orange chicken,beef broccoli, rice and noodles. 1st time here so I got my basic go to faves. My food was delicious, tasty and hot. It did take a bit of time to get my food but it was fresh to order so it was worth the wait.

    BUSINESS PERMANENTLY CLOSING 6/28/26…read more Came here with some gals for afternoon tea. It's a cute little restaurant in Old Towne Orange. It's decorated really cute inside and out! Everything was creatively planned and decorated. It was also very clean and spacious inside and out. When you go in, there's a tea sampling station with the menus so you can see which tea you would like to order. Our server was really sweet, but she was the only one serving all of the tables, so she would come by every 10-20 minutes to check on us and some things we asked for didn't make it to the table. If they had more servers, customers would be happy with quicker service. The food and tea were delish! There were 6 of us so we shared a bunch of different teas. I really enjoyed the teas they had. The sweet and savory treats were really yummy! I really enjoyed them. Each person got 5 little savory treats and 4 sweet treats. I kind of wish we got one or two more for $45, but either way they were delicious! We had a great time and were sad to learn that the business will be permanently closing down tomorrow (6/28/26), I would have loved to continue going back!

We got a variety of dishes to try out, and overall it was just ok. The soup was good but was a little light on ingredients, the papaya salad was decent with a little kick, noodles didn't really have much truffle taste but was ok, green beans were crunchy and probably the best dish here, and the mango sticky rice was not ripe. Most of the mango pieces were hard / not sweet and proportion to the rice was off. The staff was friendly and the space is very open and welcoming. Not sure if I'd come back though unless I was craving the Asian fusion tea service.

    Lately I've been exploring Vietnamese food and when I looked at Nguyen's Kitchen's menu, I was…read moreintrigued by some of their menu items, so I decided to go check them out. I was meeting my foodie friend there at 12:30. The parking lot has limited space, which made it an extra challenge to park. Thankfully I only had to circle the block once to come back and snag a spot. (Meanwhile, my friend got there before me and was already enjoying an appetizer). Orders are placed at the counter and they call your number once your food is ready. The dining room consists of mostly booth seating with one "communal" table, and counter seating with 5ish chairs. There are also a handful of tables set outside. I've really been enjoying banh mi and their Bulgogi beef sandwich sounded great. I also happen to have a thing for popcorn chicken, so I got an order of that to round out my lunch. Oh, and based on the rave reviews I've read about their peach & lychee green tea, I ordered one of those as well. Let me just say, lunch was very satisfying! The sandwich was generously filled the fresh ingredients and the meat to veggie ratio was perfect. I'm not sure what the green sauce was that they finished the sammie off with but it was SO tasty!! I requested the popcorn chicken with medium heat and it was just spicy enough to leave my tongue tingling slightly. My friend saved an egg roll for me and it was also really good. (The tea by the way was very refreshing.) Now, this was my first time here but I never saw anyone come out to check the dining room or wipe down the tables after the lunch rush. This was especially concerning to me because they had a guy doing work on the windows who put his feet/ shoes on the tables right under said windows. Ewww. But aside from the parking challenge and the table hygiene/cleanliness, our visit was quite enjoyable and the food was very good. We would definitely return, but we'll have to plan around the lunch rush!

I also loved the garlic noodles--you could definitely taste the garlic, but it wasn't too overpowering, and everything paired really well together. I also got the Peach Lychee Green Tea, which was really refreshing and went perfectly with the food. Overall, I had a great experience and I'm already excited to come back and try more of the menu. I definitely want to try the crawfish pasta and bánh mì next time!

Hopefully the service is better next time!

    4th visit update: no more managers special so entrees are at a minimum $15.95 across the board…read more Ordered everything as usual, pho and fried rice which everyone enjoyed, ordered the following new items: Crispy Noodle with Pork & Veggies: 3.5/5, pork was good, noodles were crisp and not stale, sauce was salty though Wonton Noodle Soup: broth was tasty and wontons were nice and plump and didn't fall apart as some places the skin breaks apart in the broth. Found it lacking some substance though. Some slices of port and some veggies added in would have balanced the meal out and made it more complete. 4.5/5 So overall, food is still great here although on the bit pricier side compared to other similar soup places nearby. THE BAD: as stated from another reviewer, customer service is horrendous here. Really makes me giving 15% way too much for what nonexistent service you get. They even start their auto-tip at 18% as their lowest level. My initial review I was forgiving on this as they are a new establishment and I want them to do well. However, being the 4th time there, it's like pulling teeth to just get water refills or anything else. The front staff you can tell do not want to be here. They say welcome more out of routine then actually welcoming you to come eat. When refilling water, the new waiter was annoyed I didn't bring my glass up to get filled fast enough for him to stand by and do me the favor as he would rather go back to the counter to jump on his phone. It's the same with the main guy talker wears a hat. Both would rather jump on their phones then come check in on you or get you some water. They really should just put a water station or give each table a carafe of water and let us refill it ourselves if they don't want to do it. Being a relatively new restaurant, they should really appreciate all their customers coming in and make them feel welcome as these are the people who will keep them in business and recommend this to others. My suggestion is to find someone to be your host that genuinely likes to interact with people and make them provide an enjoyable dining experience. You can let the other 2 guys just bring food out and bus tables.

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!
