    My wife and I come here quite often and the service is always exceptional. Jessica and David are the ones we usually always see and they are so positive and you can tell they actually enjoy their job. It's nice to see people that enjoy doing what they do and making the most out of it. The food is always fresh and hot and correct. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside dining area is always clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The fridge is always fully stocked.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And you never see anyone sitting down and relaxing on their phone. They are always working and doing something which is nice to see. I asked what their names were and they said Jessica and David, shout out to these two for always showing great customer service and having a great welcoming presence. Thank you.

    WABA CATERING So so so good, definitely consider this for your next party! My sons first birthday party was this weekend and we invited 62 people (40 adults, 22 kids). I called and spoke to the Manager, David and he HANDLED EVERYTHING. Honestly I just trusted him with telling me what would be enough and he nailed it. He personally delivered the food and packed all the extra sauces and green onions for us. He was perfectly on time and the food was BOMB. Quite a hit and we have a lot of chicken left over for meal prep this week (SCORE!) Each tray serves 12 so we ordered 4 trays of protein: 1 grilled chicken, 1 ribeye, 2 spicy chicken. 2 trays of rice 2 trays of veggies 80 dumplings. We chose Waba because our little man likes it and it was healthier than the tacos we had at my other kids birthday party and we will absolutely be recommending this location and this food to anyone who will listen. I didn't get pictures of the food because I was so busy but my father in law snapped some of the table full of food lol

    The food was decent. The service was great. The main problem is the restrooms. They have a Gender Neutral restroom and a Women's restroom. This is not good. If you have a women's or a men's restroom, you are required to have the other gender restroom. Having a Gender Neutral And one/or the other doesn't work and, in fact, illegal. Either change the gender neutral to a men's (best option) or change the women's restroom to a gender neutral. I reported this violation before I posted the review.

    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.

After trying it, I can say that I'm so happy that I don't have to drive all the way to the other side of town (Westminster/Garden Grove) to fulfill our Vietnamese food cravings. Items tried + Shaken Beef Garlic Noodles + Grilled Chicken Vermicelli + Grilled Chicken Rice Bowl For me, my favorite out of the three was definitely the grilled chicken rice bowl. I'm not usually the biggest fan of chicken but Saiga's chicken stole the show with its juicy, tender flavor and delicious, seared crunch. Add a bit of nuoc mam on top and the combination is perfection!! For garlic noodle lovers, I highly recommend adding the shaken beef; paired with its green aioli sauce and you have an explosion of rich, savory, and buttery flavor. In addition, each dish was reasonably priced with great portion sizes; I had plenty of leftovers that I was able to take home and enjoy for lunch the next day! Ambiance/Service: This is a modern Vietnamese fusion spot great for grab and go meals or a quick bite. Service is attentive and food comes out quick (wait time 5-7 minutes), with parking easy to find. Next time I'll come back and try their banh mi!

My go-to is the pork sandwich, and it is SO good. The pork is incredibly juicy and marinated perfectly, with so much flavor in every bite. I also love how generous they are with the cilantro because it really makes the sandwich for me. And you HAVE to get the green sauce on top! It has that jalapeño kick that gives the sandwich the perfect amount of spice without overpowering all the other flavors. Everything together is just so delicious. The food is always consistent and comes out really quickly, which I love. The service is always good too, nothing over the top, but everyone is friendly and everything is efficient. I've never had a bad experience here. The ambiance is pretty casual and laid back. It's usually not super loud or overwhelming, so it's a really easy place to stop by for a quick meal or just sit and enjoy your food. Always delicious, always on point, and always worth coming back to!

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!

Dynasty is located in a small strip mall and is next door to Daiso. This means there's plenty of parking so parking shouldn't be a problem when we got here around 5 PM. I noticed there weren't many people there. Granted, it was still early and I'm assuming you'll get a little busier as the night goes on. We were greeted and seated at a table. The people were nice and while I was surprised they didn't speak. Cantonese, the server spoke Mandarin and help us make decision on what items to order. We ended up getting the green beans, the filet mignon French style, a black bean fish fillet, and their house special fried rice. I thought the best item that we got was the fried rice. They put a decent amount of shrimp and barbecue pork and it tasted pretty good. The green beans was a tad bit on the sweeter side which I wasn't used to, but it had decent flavors. The filet mignon was a little bit on the smaller side and there wasn't a ton of pieces in there and it was the most expensive dish of the night. I probably will skip that next time. The fish fillet was actually pretty good. All in all, 3.5/5 stars is probably what I would give it. There are definitely better Chinese restaurants if you're willing to drive a little bit out. At least it's nice that this place is conveniently close to where we live.

    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!

Corn ribs: just finger licking delicious Chifa fried rice with filet mignon: fried rice was solid but didn't have the most wok hey flavor that I usually like. It was a bit too moist for fried rice. Filet mignon was a bit tough, but flavor was good! Garlic noodles with crispy salmon: yummy salmon and yummy garlic noodles (could be more garlicky).

My friend told me this restaurant's owner had a few other fusion restaurants in the plaza, so I'll have to try those as well!
