I know it's going to be good if Kei Concepts is involved, and Vox Kitchen will be added to my favorite list.
This is located in the Fountain Valley Town Center, at the corner of Brookhurst Street and Edinger Avenue, across the golf course. There are number of yummy eateries in here, including other Kei Concepts restaurants - INI Ristorante, KIN Craft Ramen & Izakaya, and ROL Hand Roll Bar. The parking lot is fairly big, but pretty filled up as there are a lot of popular places.
I came here with my friend on a Wednesday for lunch. She made reservations ahead of time at noon, and we were seated right away. The restaurant wasn't full yet. She brought her dog in a carrier so we sat in the covered patio area, and our server brought out doggy snacks for the dog.
I got a mango dragonfruit tea ($7), and we ordered the Vox pear salad ($20), spicy shrimp wontons ($14), house garlic noodles with chicken thigh ($18), and "SALTADO" shaken fries with filet mignon ($22). Everything was so good! The salad was so refreshing with the Asian pear slices. The wontons obviously had a kick, but jut enough to still taste the shrimp and wonton. The garlic noodles were good, but a bit greasy and kind of the usual fare, but the chicken was nice and tender. The saltado had good flavors, and the rice pilaf was cooked perfectly - fluffy, not hard or mushy. The fries stayed crispy even after a while, but I personally like the fries that soak up the sauce.
I would definitely like to come back and try other menu items like bacon brussel sprouts, elote corn, and spicy noodles.
