BOK Kitchen + Pub

Had a lovely dinner with my family here. Everyone was very nice and attentive. Ambiance was nice and chic! Overview of what we tried: 1. Shaken Beef (Bo luc lac) - beef was very tender and we had to order a 2nd because the portion was smaller than we thought but very delicious. 2. Soft shell crab - this was the best soft shell crab I’ve had anywhere. It was perfectly battered and tasty. I’m still craving more of this dish!!! 3. Roasted Pork hock - the slices of pork with the crispy skin was amazing and came with lightly dressed cucumbers which can be a dish of its own. 4. Fried chicken w/tamarind sauce - nicely battered with hint of butter and perfect amount of tamarind. Chicken was nice and crispy as we like it! 5. Lemongrass clams - very aromatic and tasty. Just wish the clams were larger! 6. Lemongrass tofu - tasty but prefer the tofu be crispier Desserts: 1. Nutella Panna cotta - I fell in love with panna cotta since my trip to Italy and suggest anyone to try this. My kids loved this so much I ordered them a 2nd. 2. Baked Banana cake - I didn’t think I would like this because I don’t usually like eating bananas but it was pleasantly good. The coconut ice cream really complimented the cake Overall the food was very delicious and nicely presented! We will definitely come back to try their other dishes!

Just had a wonderful meal at BOK!! The fried rice was my favorite before I added a little bit of chili paste and when that happened we were OFF TO JUPITER!!! Just wonderful food across the board with very cool vibes, looking forward to trying the whole menu!

Love this restaurant, nice, cozy, delicious foods. Duck noodles is very authentic. My most favorite dish.

We had a wonderful lunch of crispy duck with garlic noodles and egg creme pasta. Both served deliciously hot and with great service. The atmosphere has a good vibe and stylish decor. Would definitely come back. There are so many things on the menu I want to try.

We went mainly for the $1 oysters. They had a great Vietnamese twist with excellent citrus flavor. No cocktail sauce needed. We also really liked the crab. The space was modern and cool. We will definitely be back.

We came in an hour or so after they opened on a Friday and there was only one other table occupied. The food was amazing!!! We ordered the spicy cajun edemame, crispy pork, and tom yum seafood fried rice. All three dishes were wonderfully prepared! Great job to the chefs! The only thing lacking was the service, but the staff was young, but I would venture to guess that they will learn and the service will get better in time. We will definitely be returning soon and recommend giving them a try!

My friends and I decided to try this place for an experience! We got to try the brunch menu including the chicken & waffles and banh xeo! I was obsessed with the chicken but not really impressed with the sea bass! The service is very friendly to us because it wasn't crowded at the time we came in! I gotta say that the interior here is nice especially in the dark! But I say I would go here again for the dinner experience!

Small portion for the price but decent fusion food. Really enjoyed the scenery.

We dined here once and probably won’t come back since the restaurant’s offers are not matching the price it charges. Food: Portion is quite small. Flavor seems mediocre and not really memorable. The buttered crab ($18) came soggy and lacked seasoning. The roasted pork hock ($26) was tasty, but it did remind me of the roasted pork that can be easily found at other Chinese BBQ or Vietnamese restaurants at much cheaper price. Oysters had funky smell and flavor, so they were definitely not the freshest ones I had. Drinks: All the cocktails are made with Soju ($12). The Saigon Smash, cocktail with tamarind, tasted more like a juice with barely any alcohol. Bottled Sapporo is reasonably priced at $5. Service: Really slow. It seems like the host and waiters were still figuring out how to run the show. We felt like being ignored. It took 10 min since we sat down for a waiter to pass by our table to offer water/drinks but then she forgot to bring us water until we reminded her later. It then took 25 min since we put in the order for the first dish to come out and another 30 min for a second dish. Another note: The host brought the cocktail to our table and said something that I couldn’t hear well so I asked her to clarify but she unfriendly responded something and just walked away. Atmosphere: modern decors and open kitchen concept. It was noisy and loud for the small space with music playing, loud voices/yelling from a big group of customers at another table and all the cooking noises.

The restaurant is chic with an open kitchen concept so it was a cute spot to celebrate a birthday. Decor is stylish which I really enjoyed. I started off with a pandan latte while the birthday girl had a creme brulee latte. I asked for mine less sweet which was perfect for me. The creme brulee latte came as is which was too sweet. It was cool to watch them torch the creme brulee latte before delivering it to our table. They don't serve liquor here but we were able order a large body of soju for $22. For our dishes: - Buttered Crabs - 2 crabs cut into 4 so perfect for sharing. Tasty but a little fishy. - Jasmine Paella - no where near paella as it didn't take long to make at all when paella needs time. It was just fried rice. Still tasty but not what we were expecting. - Wok Fried Tenderloin - this really is just shaken beef also known as bo luc lac. The meat is tender but for the small portion, not worth the price at $28. There is also a $5 personal cake fee for the birthday cake we brought in. Service was attentive and they were helpful in taking our pictures. We were in a hurry to leave so I did not catch the Sapporo they charged us in error. I want to support this restaurant due to a female chef but the high prices cannot be justified for average food and small portions.

Very underwhelming. For all the hype, we were left confused on why. Nothing tasted horrible but for the prices with the lackluster food, it wasn’t worth it in our opinion. We definitely left thinking we wouldn’t be returning to try anything else and there was nothing worth coming back for. Out of 4 dishes we ordered, the only slightly memorable one was the beef carpaccio one that tasted a little like Pho. One thing missing from the dish - toasted crisp baguette or something. Everything else I can’t remember any of it being good or amazing. Service was good. Parking lot is free. But wouldn’t be returning.

Came in for dinner with family for Mother's day. The restaurant was not busy at all but can't seat us right the way for some reasons. I mean they have only like 3 small partying the restaurant. We had to wait to be at the exact time of the reservation to be seated. The food were pretty mediocre. Morning Glory has fermented shrimp paste dressing and it is really strong and salty. Softshell crabs supposed to have salted egg yolk, I couldn't taste it at all. It was pretty salty too. Ha noi sample was okay, nothing impressive. Chicken wings (tamarind fish sauce) was okay not that great, and not crunchy enough. Sea pot - vermicelli with seafood soup- it literature taste like a pot of boiling seafood with vermicelli thrown in and adding some lime juice in. Sea bass smells really fishy and salty too. For the dessert, fried banana with ice cream is pretty good. Not too sweet. For drinks, pickled apricot is good. Service is okay. To be honest, this restaurant gives me a lot of confusions, not high end and not low end, not Vietnamese authentic and not much fusion neither. I don't think I will come back. Sorry guys, nice try.

We came here based on all the pictures from Google. When we arrived and looked at the menu, most of the stuff was gone. Those awesome desserts on the pictures? Also gone. They just had ice cream. It felt like a bait and switch. The server was apologetic about it, but there was no manager on duty because "he has another store on the east coast." Seriously, please take off the photos on Google of the dishes you no longer provide. Some of them are as recent as a few months ago. You don't have to make your customers experience this.
