    Menu is extremely limited and not alot to choose from. The struggle was real. We picked to eat here based on the online menu. This place is empty and only 4 seats at the bar taken up by construction workers. The server told me they heated up the soup on the microwave...no French dip, no poke etc...the vibe is a hotel lobby not upscale at all. Like a holiday inn

    a plate of breakfast food

    This restaurant accommodated a high school Disney field trip and the breakfast was awesome. But I came here another time previously to this and the poke nachos were really disappointing. It felt like a restaurant trying to be bougie and fancy but it was just alright. For the price it's not worth it in my opinion. Some of the portions were worth it like the rice dish I ordered attached to the image but for what we paid it was definitely not worth it so I won't be coming again. Maybe it's because they're so close to Disneyland they decided to up the prices. Lesson learned. Thank you, nonetheless. :)

    Lobster Ravioli
    Lisa S.

    A hidden gem in Disneyland! This is a wonderful place to eat a fancy-ish dinner for a reasonable price. After a long day at Disney, we wanted a nice dinner but we didn't want to pay downtown Disney prices. Since we were staying at the Four Points hotel, we decided to walk back and give it a try. We didn't have high expectations given it was a hotel restaurant. However, once we arrived around 6pm we were instantly seated. I was hangry so this made me so happy. We ordered coconut shrimp as an app, lobster ravioli and short rib for our entrees. The appetizer came out right away probably within 5 min. It was freshly fried, and delicious. Highly recommend! Lobster ravioli - HEAVENLY. I am a lobster fanatic and the dish was super rich and creamy, with hints of flavorful lobster pieces inside. It also had some tender shrimp (not listed in the description) which was a nice add on protein. Brownie Sundae - I mentioned to the server there was a check in offer, and I was offered a free dessert. I chose the brownie sundae (because chocolate and ice cream duh) and it was really good! Super warm and rich, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I preferred that the brownie would've been more fudgey instead of cakey, but my husband liked the chocolate flavor a lot. TLDR: if you don't want to be hangry for dinner after Disneyland and want a nice fancy dinner with food service, head here at dinner hour and you'll be impressed!

    Food: this was our first time and EVERYTHING we ate tasted delicious! LUNCH: Lobster ravioli: 8.5 of 10 -ravioli was well boiled and sauce was good just a little too much Lemon pepper chicken: 10 of 10 -seasoning was balanced and the chicken was crispy on the outside and moist/juicy on the inside Kid's pepperoni pizza: 8.5 of 10- kid approved with the right amount of dough to cheese and pepperoni Shrimp garlic noodles: 9 of 10-great taste and blend of sauce, garlic and shrimp was good size Desserts: brownie Sunday- 9 of 10 warm brownie with crispy outer and moist and delectable inside. Bread pudding: 5 of 10 unfortunately not a favorite. The bread pudding had an interesting flavor and taste, and not as moist and tasty as other amazing dessert. DINNER: Braised short rib: 10 of 10- "butter meat" amazing especially when the meat falls off the bone and melts in your mouth upon contact! Chicken and waffle: 9.5 of 10 -perfect combination with the chicken and waffle combo; not too sweet with the chicken warm and crispy, and the waffle was prepared just right. Brownie Sunday with two scoops: 10 of 10 was even better than from earlier today and with a strawberry and extra scoop (and red eye coffee on the side)! Service: both at lunch, dinner and upon check in--the staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful in making sure we were settled and welcomed to this small yet friendly hotel. Ambiance: not crowded at all--folks came and went and we had the place to ourselves for a little while until families started showing up. Family friendly and look forward to visiting again!

    Lil Asian twist located inside four points Sheraton. Once inside the restaurant we were greeted and seated by the bartender. Once we were established the bartender asked us if we would like to start off with something to drink? I responded yes, and we are going to order a few things most likely it will be over 30 bucks so can I cash in on this yelp coupon? Waiter was cool he said no problem. The ambiance was very nice and peaceful. Then comes the waiter. I felt like he was a little standoffish at first because I seen some pics on yelps page and I wanted to order some of the dishes there. Unfortunately the menu has changed dramatically, but there were still great choices. I ordered the salmon fried rice and my fiance ordered the teriyaki chicken and veggies with a side of BBQ wings. I then asked him about the yelp check in and he told me they did not do it anymore. I responded well that's funny because the bartender said no problem. I asked to speak to the manager? He responded in a firm tone that she was out. Then he looked at the bartender as if I was lying and asked him while my time was running out on my coupon. My coupon was honored so I received a shock top beer with my dinner. Both of the main dishes were really delicious, but the wings were super dry. It was like eating Jerky with BBQ sauce on it. At the end of dinner the waiter let his hair down a little and asked us how we liked everything. Management please update your employee's on this matter, because sometimes I just check in because of the Lil perks. You almost lost 70 bucks over a 6 dollar drink, from bad customer service. Which was better at the end of dinner.

    The menu pricing was not accurate. Restaurant management would not honor the pricing as shown on Yelp/GrubHub. The food was mediocre.

The ingredients were fresh, the…read moretextures were well-balanced, and you could tell there was a lot of thought put into the preparation. Really hard for us to go for a dish without protein more so than the actual entree but that just says a lot for their salad! I loved all the flavors and texture. You can't tell from the photo but they give a good amount of Burrata cheese underneath and the pear is also there sprinkled with candied walnuts on top! And for the Lomo Saltado it was a solid staple. The fries were perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and soft on inside. The meat was also tender and not overly seasoned. As for my personal taste, the spicy wontons could have used a little more depth and umami. That said, I'd still recommend giving it a try! Taste is subjective, and there's clearly a lot of care behind the dish. I WILL be back for their drinks. No notes for the ones mentioned because I finished all 3! That's how good their drinks are here! Always happy to support and encourage people to check it out for themselves. Their staff is beyond sweet!

After work, I was very hungry and in need of some good food but did not know what to eat. My friend suggested this place for their variety of dishes. They have garlic noodles, lomo saltado, pho and everything in between. I had the chicken lomo saltado and it was so delicious. Even though I felt like they could have added a bit more chicken, I was still happy with my food. The rice was really good as well, especially when mixed with the green sauce they give you. One thing I also really liked was the fries, as they were cooked to perfection, not too crispy but also not too soft. Service was great, quite cordial and welcoming. We stayed for a bit after the meal to chat and they did not rush us out or anything and let us take our time. If I am ever in bad need of a good late night meal then I will definitely come here.

At first I thought it was a Vietnamese restaurant, but it turned out to be more of an Asian fusion place with a little bit of everything. It was super busy, so we had to wait a bit for a table. We were group of 5 and ordered: *Spicy Shrimp Wontons $16 *Shu Mai $15 *Shrimp Garlic Noodles $24.5 *Spicy Pork Belly Soup $14 *Ponzu Salmon Roll $15 *Hot Honey Fried Chicken Baos $32 The sushi roll was just okay, and the pork belly soup leaned salty with a broth that tasted almost like a Tom Yum base plus the pork flavor was a little strong. But the wontons, shu mai, garlic noodles, and fried chicken baos were all really tasty. Overall the food was pretty solid and service was great, too. It might be the only Asian restaurant among other food choices in Anaheim Packing House and we were glad to give it a try. 18 Folds 430 S Anaheim Blvd, Anaheim, CA 92805

One of the draws of eating here are the colorful lit lanterns in the evening. However, we ended dining here in the late afternoon while it was still light out. The inside of the restaurant was pretty much empty and it was a nice day, so we dined out on the patio. Even in the daytime, the colorful lanterns are cool to look at and there is a park area right next to the restaurant. The patio is wide open and completely in the shade. This was a late lunch/early dinner for us, so we just ordered a few different items off the menu to share. Their small sushi menu only has four different rolls and they were out of two of them, so we just had a California roll which was fine. The only sushi protein available is shrimp or krab so I definitely wouldn't recommend them for sushi. We also had an order of the chicken egg rolls. They had a good crisp on them, and the serving size was generous and very filling. The sweet chili dipping sauce had a good mix of sweetness with a little heat. They tasted fine, but it seemed like they were pre-made and lacked a little freshness. Finally, we tried an order of the spicy shrimp wontons off the dim sum menu. It comes with ten wontons, and the shrimp were good but the wontons were a little mushy. They had a nice heat that slowly creeps up on you after a few seconds. Service started out ok as we were able to place our order within ten minutes, but it then got progressively slower. I think there were only two other occupied tables and our three items took almost 25 minutes to come out. After the food arrived, we didn't see a server again for quite a while. Final rating 3.6 stars. These are the times I wish Yelp let you use half points because this experience was right in between 3 and 4 stars. I guess I'll round up to four stars for the relaxing patio and ambiance which is probably even better after dark.

    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!

I noticed the sign advertising their "Famous Garlic Noodles," so I figured I had to give them a try. I ordered the Lomo Saltado with Garlic Noodles. The noodles were good overall, although they were a little dry. I would've loved a bit more of a buttery, garlicky sauce to coat them. The filet was tender, and the fries were cooked well. I asked if they could make the fries extra crispy, and they happily accommodated, which was a plus. We also ordered the Steak and Eggs with Bread, and that was another solid dish. The filet mignon was tender and tasted very similar to the steak served with the Lomo Saltado. My only real complaint was the temperature inside the restaurant. It felt like the air conditioning wasn't on, and there was only a single floor fan circulating the air. It wasn't enough to keep the dining room comfortable, and I found myself getting pretty sweaty while eating. Overall, the food was enjoyable, and I'd come back. Hopefully next time the dining room will be a little cooler so the experience is just as enjoyable as the meal.

There is a small lot out front for parking, and I suspect you can park on the street when the lot fills up. We happened to come by during the Korea vs. Mexico game, and understandably, the place gets packed, with a line forming outside. We somehow beat the rush by about 30 minutes and were seated at a table as soon as we entered. We also realized then that they didn't have the all-you-can-eat option, so we ended up ordering the chicken wings, their version of loaded fries, and steamed rice. We also placed the order via the QR code. We had our drinks delivered to our table shortly afterward. The food, however, was taking a long time to get to our table. It may have been a combination of the FIFA World Cup and a staff shortage, but when we were there, there was only 1 kitchen staff member and 1 wait staff member. The lady on the wait staff did everything from serving food to accepting new customers and topping off water for all the tables. A wall separates the restaurant; there is a front room and an inside room, and both rooms had televisions broadcasting the game. The food itself was decent for the price that they charge. The chicken wings came out piping hot, crispy on the outside, and juicy inside. They have some options for different wing flavors. The fries were also delicious and well-fried. I hope the restaurant invests in more wait staff because there were times we needed something from the wait staff. Seeing how busy she was, or sometimes she's just in the front room, we haven't seen her in a while to get whatever we needed. Overall, it was a good experience. The food was good, and the atmosphere is very unique; it's definitely a nice place to get some Korean street food when you're in the area. The only things to note are that parking is limited, food will take a while to cook as it is made fresh, and there will be some waiting to be done if you need wait staff. Last thing to note: I love that they had some Korean Fusion dishes, and I wish I had a bigger stomach to try these as well during our visit, perhaps another time!

    best food ever i liked it so much it was really good. very good workers. enjoyed the viberead more

    Incredible. I finally see what the hype is about INI. INI is part of Kei Concepts with a…read moreJapanese-Italian concept. We made reservations for noon just in case it was busy. It was pretty calm for a weekday, but better safe than sorry. We were seated in a super comfy U-shaped booth with a beautiful view of the restaurant. Hospitality was amazing from the start. Our host was friendly. Our server was incredible. Our waters were never empty. Someone was always checking in without making us feel rushed. They primarily use QR code menus, but paper menus are available upon request. We ordered the Beef Carpaccio, Crab Roe Spaghetti, plus the Miso Picanha Steak. The Beef Carpaccio was a great start. The portion was generous, though I do wish the beef was sliced a little thinner. I loved the truffle aioli. The arugula with apple added some freshness that balanced everything out really well. The Crab Roe Spaghetti was probably my favorite. I wish the sauce was just a tad thicker, but once everything was mixed together, the noodles held onto it pretty well. They did NOT hold back on the crab either. There was crab in basically every bite with that seafood flavor coming through strong. It almost reminded me of lobster bisque in pasta form. Amazing. Yum. The Miso Picanha Steak was a little more mixed for me. The miso flavor came through nicely. It was also cooked perfectly medium rare. Unfortunately, the steak itself was pretty tough. I was really looking forward to that signature fat cap you get with picanha. It became a little bit of a struggle to chew after a while. BUT THE POTATOES??? I genuinely didn't know potatoes could taste that good. Easily some of the best potatoes I've ever had. The broccolini was cooked perfectly too. Whatever that orange sauce was on the plate, I need it in my fridge immediately. Between the food, beautiful space, plus incredible hospitality, INI absolutely lived up to the hype for me. Kei Concepts, please expand to San Diego. But for now, ill make the drive.
