Reviews
Noodles are nuked with butter and garlic- they’re the first thing you smell upon walking in and probably the best thing on their menu, save contention from their take on lomo saltado, which is largely consistent with classic Peruvian recipes.
My two favourite garlic noodle dishes are the mushroom and filet mignon, priced at $20 and $25 each, which isn’t particularly cheap, but worth it for the occasional lunch or dinner considering the quality and portions, enough for 1.5 or 2 meals for some and usually fairly filling. Both the mushroom and filet are juicy, buttery, and well seasoned with herbs, both likely stir fried to perfection. The mushroom is so good that I know of mushroom haters who enjoy the mushrooms here, which are not subtle portions at all, served in heaping mounds, giving no choice but to indulge in their aroma and umami compounds. 6.1/10.
Viet coffee is solid and heavy hitting to both the heart and mind. Tastes like cafe du Monde, though I don’t know for sure what they use- a hint of bitterness covered up by their condensed milk concoction. I downed one surprisingly large glass and was out of commission for the rest of the day on jitters.
The lychee lemon here is a highlight- light and refreshing, absolutely delicious as well as free to refill as many times as you like.
The lomo saltado is also great with its juicy pieces of meat, now newly available with picanha. I personally slightly prefer the filet to the picanha for its more consistent, juicy texture, though I also see the appeal of the flat and fatty picanha pieces. The fries are seasoned very well, a nice savory taste with a hint of sweetness. This place knows how to do their carbs, the fried rice also a light fluffy dry that pairs well with all of the buttery mains. 5.5/10.
Generous portions for all of their dishes- noodles last well and are good both reheated and cold. I’ve had them as takeout party favours before, and they were a big hit with the large and diverse crowd.
The restaurant provides fantastic ambiance, very hip modern and classy with a lot of small lights and even seasonal decorations for occasion like Tet.
Overall, delicious, feels slightly classier than some more casual eateries but very fair in quality, price, and portion, and easily repeatable even if the strong coffee and butter sometimes hits the body hard.
My waitress was really sweet and caring with me and the chaos of 4 kids. I only gave 4/5 stars for service and atmosphere though. Someone, assuming in management, made me really uncomfortable over my 5 year old. Hovering was not helpful and though the food was good, I wouldn’t go back with my kids. True hospitality is understanding and supportive
The only dish that I was mildly disappointed in was the filet noodle dish. The noodles were good, but the filet, although it was tender, lacked flavor. The cilantro sauce that came with it helped, the steak by itself was bland, which is a shame.
The place was packed and the staff was doing a great job keeping up with it. I’ll definitely return the next time I’m in that neck of the woods!
The Vox Kitchen is easily one of the best spots in Fountain Valley. It offers a unique “Chifa” (Peruvian-Chinese) fusion that you won’t find anywhere else. The menu is packed with comfort food that is flavorful, creative, and perfect for sharing.
The House Garlic Noodles are legendary—rich, buttery, and garlicky—especially when paired with the Saltado Picanha (sirloin) or the crispy salmon. We also loved the Garlic Chicken Wings and the Vox Pear Salad, which was surprisingly refreshing. The Lomo Saltado is a classic here and definitely lived up to the hype.
The atmosphere is trendy and vibrant, though it can get very busy, so I recommend putting your name on the Yelp waitlist ahead of time. Excellent food and a great vibe—I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu!
Each bite was better than the last. The food is good without being heavy, and everything tasted super intentional, not just thrown together. I left full, happy, and already craving it again. If good food had a personality, this place would be main character energy.
