Delicious food, simple but tasty. I would definitely recommend it anyone who is looking for home cooked vietnamese meal.

Really good! Love the stone pot soup and it's the best Saltado. Come support small biz!

Same shopping center as the great Albatross was. Insane how many Mexican restaurants have been here before it ended up as an Asian Fusion one. Havent tried the food looks great will try but just wanted to pay homeage as a local read more

Excellent service and food! Great for catering! Highly recommend: -Loma saltado with garlic noodles -Chicken wings -Fam's combo with ribs and rice -Lychee green tea (refreshing!) read more

Soooo good! The garlic noodles were amazing. Super clean and friendly staff. This will be my go to Asian fusion spot when I'm in the area. The wontons were fantastic too! Def coming back to try other items :) read more

A new spot in town and I will admit that I came by a bit late (6 pm on grand opening weekend) because they ran out of a lot of things. We ordered their wings, spicy wontons, lomo saltado with garlic noodles (they ran out of rice), and garlic noodles with prawns (they ran out of salmon). They also ran out of the beef rib noodle soup. Brought this back to my house for the family to eat and everything was pretty good. Very similar to Vox Kitchen. Now I don't have to drive to Fountain Valley for my garlic noodle fix. The appetizers were different but tasty. I would recommend the lomo saltado with garlic noodles. read more

I ordered beef stone bowel and tofu soup. It's not Korean food at all. They just use instant noodle soup with some oils to make tofu soup. Food is really bad and overpriced. read more

This is one of the most family oriented restaurants that I have ever been to I have to say I really enjoyed it and I like the food because it's juicy is warm at the same time I was like wow I mean it really taste like someone put some love interest bitch and I have to say I've never been a fan of eggs in general but after I visited the way did they make eggs so good that I can't even compare it to my adoptive mother that reasoning with eggs basically boiled eggs with no salt I don't even know what to say read more

This place is pretty good. A really nice hidden gem in the area. I'm not sure what their connection is to vox kitchen if any, but the menu seemed similar. I prefer the garlic noodles and steak from vox a bit more, but they're quite similar. read more

Loved Fam's Kitchen!! This is a great whole In the wall so close to home! The food is amazing and we had quick service upon arrival! I really enjoyed their garlic noodles with salmon. I will definitely come back! read more

Was feeling like some noodles tonight and found Fam's Kitchen on Yelp. I love supporting new and small businesses and the pictures reminded me of Vox Kitchen. Looked promising! We ordered the food to go and was told it would take 30 minutes to be ready. I think because I arrived with my baby daughter strapped to me, they offered to take the food out to my car for me. Awesome service! The smell of the food was so hard to resist for the 10 mins drive back home. My daughter must have felt the same because she cried the entire way back home as if to say "moooommm when do we get to eat??" (She's almost 11 months and doesn't talk yet so I'm interpreting the best I can) I unpacked the food and my husband quickly came to the dining table at the smell of the food. We took our first bites and could already tell that we liked this place. We ordered an assortment of food: - Saltado Shaken Fries with Filet Mignon & Garlic Noodle: The steak was sooo tender. Not what I was used to for lomo saltado. at all. I stole a bite from my husband's plate and wanted more. Both the fries and the garlic noodles were really good as well! - Stone Bowl Soup with Bone-in Short Ribs: The broth is light but tasty. We gave some to our daughter and her eyes lit up and she asked for more! The short ribs fell off the bone...mmm! It also paired nicely with the glass noodles and mushrooms. Warm and soothing for a cold night but also feels healthy. - Fam's Salad: Wanted to make sure we had some greens, which we haven't been getting a lot of lately. The house dressing was so good and the dried cranberries were a nice touch. I love fruit in my salads for some reason. - Chicken Wings: Ordered it with the cajun seasoning and it was well fried and tasty - Spicy Shrimp & Pork Wonton: Didn't stick together like at some places I've had it at (yes!) and the spicy sauce that came with it was delicious. - Drinks: Lychee Sweet Tea & Thai Tea - Loved both! This restaurant is located next to Lake Forest Lanes and across the street from The Hat. Take out was a breeze and the food was delicious. Beats driving to other similar places with difficult parking or longer drives. Would come back again for sure! read more

First time going here to pick up order. Food may be good but not sure about the service!

I got the saltado shaken fries with filet mignon and it was absolutely incredible. the whole dish was so flavorful and the fries were some of the best i've ever had. I would've liked more tomatoes, but that's just personal preference. I cant wait to order this again! read more

Absolutely no regrets after trying this place a few days ago. Everything we ordered was delicious (pretty sure we ordered almost everything on the menu), notably the salmon (which was a ridiculously large portion), the fillet mignon lomo saltado (which was super-tender and perfectly-cooked, and included garlic noodles gratis), and the cheese corn (so.much.cheese!). We were also given two free beverages and opted for a Vietnamese coffee and strawberry lemonade, both of which were refreshing, and the coffee was potent. We'll for sure be going back in the future. read more

I love their garlic noodles with shrimp. I've ordered takeout a few times and never been disappointed.

The food is amazing, at first I thought the menu is limited and simple, but I then I realized that the dishes are tailored-made to individual taste according to how I order. I love the fusion of not just Asian but a bit of South American cuisines as well. The hostess could smile a bit more but she is polite enough, probably had a rough day. I enjoyed the simple environment and great tastes food. The cook or whoever created the dishes/menus deserved more than five stars. We tried the saltado garlic noodle and the stone bowl soup, both were excellent. read more

Placed a to go order over the phone. The lady who took our order was very friendly and patiently went into detail with me about my inquiries. We order the Lomo saltado with filet mignon and rice, garlic chicken wings and passion fruit drink. They were all cooked perfectly and were so good! I just wished there was more filet in my lomo saltado. But quality over quantity always. Definitely going back to order the spicy wontons, garlic noodles and strawberry lemonade next time. Don't hesitate and order now. Support small business and enjoy your meal! Sorry no pics, it was so good I inhaled it! read more

I was excited to try a new place that has lomo saltado, but unfortunately, my expectations were dashed. The sauce on the dish just wasn't seasoned to my taste. Even though there were quite a few shrimp, there were hardly any tomatoes or onions in the mix. Just mainly a plateful of fries with shrimp and that sticky sauce I didn't like. I was glad I opted to get it with the rice instead of the garlic noodles. The rice was my only reprieve from the sauce. There was also a dish of green sauce that was I guess their version of ahi verde. Another miss. Too bad read more

This place is under rated like a stock being under value...Try it for yourself. The place is very casual so don't be alarm the food is amazing.... read more

OK...so my Mother in Law wanted Asian food and we wanted to try somewhere new....so lucky for us we stumbled on Fam's on the yelp app. We headed over and what a great experience. We shared the Crispy Fries....very tasty and big portion. My Wife an Mother in Law had the Garlic Noodles and Filet(amazing) I had the Spicy Noodles and Shrimp---So Good ---Not a "cheap place" but very good value for the Dollar- We will be back! read more

Believe the hype, this food is amazing! Loved everything we got! Garlic noodles with shrimp and the spicy dumplings were a great choice.

10/10 Fried Rice and Filet Mignon for the W! Nice and cozy spot with a variety of options but not a novel of a menu that you have to read before ordering. I would strongly recommend! read more

This place is absolutely amazing, this is a diamond in the rough, we got the spicy noodles, pop corn chicken and garlic wings along with fried rice and spicy dumplings! They were super safe. Please go try it!! They are so good and I can't wait to go back again in a few days and try some more! read more

I have been here twice. I am a huge fan of Nguyen's kitchen!!. So, I was sooo excited to find this place that is similar in my neighborhood. I think this place has potential. The staff is not that friendly. In comparison to Nguyen's kitchen, the pricing is expensive & the flavor is just ok. The shrimp had no flavor & over $22.00 for Saltodo fries with steak & garlic noodles is insane!. read more

We used to love this restaurant until today during our wedding anniversary.. we were in the middle of our dinner and theres a huge group that came. Mind you it was only us eating in the place, then the server asked us to move. Were willing to move to the next table but no, he asked us to move towards the other side of the resto. Like why can they sit over there? Why do we have to move in the middle of our dinner? It ruined our night. My husband was really upset, he just wanted to have a nice meal but it was ruined bec people does not haveany consideration of other people. As much as i love this mini resto im pretty sure my husband wont come back. And to make it worst my filet minon was bright red inside, its RAW. as soon as we come out i threw up. Its such a shame how 1 unfortunate situation ruined everything for us. I had an unfortunate rxp w/ them the 2nd time we came back but i shrug it off since they gave us new drinks, but this time i have to share how upset i am. Pls be considerate next time read more

I think I have to agree with most of the reviews. The food is great and the prices are a little high, but the attitude of the waitress stood out the most. She was very unfriendly bordering on rude. read more

We stumbled upon this place while we were shopping in the area. This establishment is fairly new, give it a try and you won't be disappointed. We ordered the Fam's special shaking beef and garlic noodles with grilled shrimp, both dishes was delicious at reasonable price. Staff were friendly and helpful which is a plus. Thank you Fam's Kitchen! read more

Ok wife wanted to try some Asian fusion. She noticed that menu is similar to Voxx Kitchen. OMG The food here is fire!! That means really good..lol. Garlic noodles is my favorite. Sooo good and tasty. Perfectly cooked. I also loved the Saltado fries. Its sautéed really well with onions and tomatoes and has a balance of sweet and salty. Delicious. The popcorn chicken and that sauce! Wow! I can eat that with anything. For the owner, the mushrooms lacked fkavor. Maybe ry and sautee it with the garlic noodles. All in all the food is really good. This place is new, but hoping it will stay for awhile..its definitely our new go to Asian fusion place in So.OC.. read more

After living in the area for almost 30 years, finally there's one really great and authentic Asian fusion eatery place south of Irvine that's worth recommending. It's just a tiny bit pricey in my book but no complaints. Simple menu with quality bowls and dishes, highly recommended! read more

First time trying Fam's and it was absolutely delicious. I got the garlic noodles with brown mushrooms to go and absolutely loved all of it. Service was fast and food was delicious. read more

I'm so glad this place opened up so close! I got the garlic noodles with file migon and it was so goooooood! The filet was perfectly cooked and the green sauce it came with was so bomb. I also got the lycee tea which was also so good and better then the lycee tea from the alley. I can't wait to come back to try their other menu items! read more

The garlic noodles and short rib stone bowl with glass noodles was incredible! The passion fruit drink is otherworldly refreshing.

I picked this place based on many good Yelp reviews. Picked up popcorn chicken & garlic noodles w Filet mignon. Popcorn chicken was extremely salty & lacked other flavors. If you are looking for Taiwanese popcorn chicken, this one tasted more like McDonald's chicken nuggets + tons of salt. Dipping sauce was good& that's all I can say about the dish. Noodles was okay. Menu mentioned parsley..but only traces of parsley flakes. Don't think I will go back soon! read more

First time here food was good, very quiet little place. I had the corn cheese which was really good . Also had the Saltado fries , crispy which I like. Probably be back read more

We have been this place twice and sorry to say that we won't come back again. Their food is good. We love their fries and beef rib soup. But their service is not as good as their food. The waitress was cold and hard to communicate with, which cause our orders got messed up. We felt not welcome there. And bc we are a group more than 6 , we have to paid a 20% service fee on top of the bill even the service is bad. read more

Dined at this new restaurant with my adult nephews yesterday. Very tasty dishes. Similar menu to Vox restaurant in Fountain Valley. Very good garlic noodle, spicy noodle, spicy wonton & garlic chicken. Friendly service. Small dine-in place. Can order to go. Will definitely return. read more

I just tried this new place. Look like it a winner. Come tried out the food before it's get crowed.

Ok. I'll be dreaming of this food until I'm back. Perfectly cooked fillet mignon with all the right flavors. Not pictured - the spicy shrimp and pork wontons that were also a star of our meal. Sweetest owner that truly cared about our experience. We will be back for sure read more

Tried the prawn fried rice and the wontons. The owners were so kind and stayed open longer even though I walked in after hours since there wasn't a sign. The food was absolutely delicious and I could tell they care a lot about what they do. Place is clean, well lit, and somewhat modern looking. Please come support a new Asian fusion restaurant just starting out, I know you'll enjoy it too! read more
