Regent West

On the backs of dozens of unpaid, or unfairly paid workers, The Bosava, previously Regent West, is set to open any day now. If you have an ounce of integrity and do not want to endorse unfair labor practices, choose another venue for your event. I have witnessed and spoken to scores of local workers who were not paid for the work they did to complete the renovations.

surprised that my rating is so low compared to everyone elses’. Came here also for a wedding reception.
Pro’s:
— staff very professional
Negatives:
— Décor was pretty unappealing, very basic
— My seat covers, the white ones used for weddings, was stained
— the men’s bathroom was TERRIBLE. Urinals didn’t flush and it smelled horrible (standing urine for who knows how long).
— Meals were… blah. I’ve been to a lot of Viet weddings on the East Coast, and expected something similar, but I was pretty disappointed. Food was unsavory. Lobster was dry and chewy. Just looked unappetizing
— Sound system was terrible. We sat all the way in the back and couldn’t hear a thing.
I“m not sure how much of my poor thoughts are due to the people getting married, vs the restaurant itself, but of all the wedding receptions i’ve been to, this was by far the worst.

Regent West catered our wedding in LA and the experience went smoothly. The only thing that became a concern during the reception was that towards the end of the reception, the courses that were suppose to come out started to slow down. Other than that we were happy with the way the food came out. Regent West provided all the plates, silverware, and lazy susans without any extra charges, unlike many of the other caterers that we talked too. I have happily referred their services to others Unilocalers, so I hope they had a great experience with them too.

My wife and I had our wedding reception here. The staff and the wedding coordinators were great. They were helpful with all of our requests. They had a little stage area where our band/​DJ was able to setup and perform. The food and service during the reception was good. All of my guests enjoyed it. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a wedding reception restaurant in the area.

Came here for my friend’s wedding. The décor was wonderful and the host was entertaining! Waiters were very professional and the food was extremely delicious! We had so much food… I think nine courses! Mostly seafood and a mixture of Vietnamese/​Chinese dishes. The shark fin and crab soup is on the bland side, but nothing salt couldn’t fix! Cold cut platter, abalone and sea cucumber, lobster… everything was amazing! I had a wonderful time, and I would DEFINITELY recommend this place to anyone who is planning their wedding! If I lived closer, I’d consider it as well!

We had our reception at Regent West on 12÷3÷2011. It was beautifully decorated and the food was delicious. We actually paid extra for the lighting and the drapes (totally worth it). Our color themes were sage, ivory and sandalwood colors.
Tommy and Thao (the wedding coordinators) were extremely helpful. They had tons of pictures and samples that we could choose from unlike other ‘traditional’ Chinese restaurants. Everything looked modern and up to date.
They provided the appetizers, decorated the restaurants, had the cake ready for us. Seriously, HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE! It would make the bride’s life much easier.

First of all I would like to thank you Thao and Tom for all their hard work.
I just had my wedding at Regent West on September 4, 2011. The first reason I chose this restaurant is because I got a referral from my close friend. They had their wedding here and my best friend keep give me compliment about how good the food is. Oh yeah At first I thought hmm. good foods on a wedding day is a must so I choose Regent West.
But on my wedding day I found out they not only having good foods, beautiful decoration and good price but they also having good services. I love their service over all. I would like to say thank you to all the waiters of that night. They are so friendly and nice. Especially the waiter that serve my special table. Oh by the way not just only my husband and i give good compliment but all of my guests give good compliment as well.
Special thanks to Thao for having such patience with me when I keep making changes. She is very nice and friendly! Beautiful lady too *wink
Again Thank you Thao, Tom and Regent West for everything. I will definitely recommend you to all my friends.
Thank You,
Truc & Nam

Tom and Thao are great to work with… i echo the other reviewer when they say «Tom and Thao, you rock!» I was planning a wedding for california from Virginia and if any of you are long distance planning, this is a awesome one stop shop! Everything looked wonderful at my wedding and Thao was so accommodating. This vendor was a blessing for me and my now husband. The drapes are worth every penny so I suggest you go with the drapes– it really does add elegance to the room. I only got to eat some of the dishes, but the ones I tasted were great! I also received lots of compliments from my guests on the food. I also received great compliments on the service and the waiters/​waitresses. To Tom and Thao… thank you so much for all your help, care and attentiveness during the planning process and during the wedding day. For the Unilocalers, if you go with them as a reception venue, you won’t be disappointed. The great thing about this space is that it’s pretty flexible and it can be dressed up or down as you want. When the room is dressed up though, it can look quite impressive.

Our wedding was on 10/​16/​2010. We love Regent West Restuarant because it is huge to throw the party, specially reception for wedding. We appreciate Tom and Thao. They know how to coordinate the wedding. We would recommend Regent West Restuarant to everyone Thank you, Tom anh Thao once again.

My husband and I had our reception at Regent West Restaurant on September 18^th, 2010. We just got back from our honeymoon and wanted to make sure that we wrote our review. The wedding coordinators, Tom and Thao, probably heard this a thousand times… but «THANK YOU.»
I couldn’t stop saying thank you to Tom and Thao from the moment that I stepped through the double doors. My jaws just dropped and I couldn’t believe how beautiful the venue was. Our theme colors were red and black, so we picked red bows on the chairs and black napkins. We also paid extra for curtains all around the restaurant. The extra cost for the curtains was well worth it because it made the room look soft and elegant. I will definitely upload the pictures when it’s available so everyone can see what I am talking about.
Service was fantastic. Tom and Thao were very helpful and accommodating. They allowed us to drop off a bunch of our stuff the day before the wedding such as the centerpieces (we made our own centerpieces), alcohol, picture frames, wedding favors and more. Not only did they allow us to drop off all of our stuff, they also setup everything up for us. When we got to the venue, everything was already in place. The centerpieces were already on each table, the wedding favors were on plate and the beers were chilled in ice. They also allow us to stay a little longer so we were able to enjoy the night with our family and friends. We couldn’t ask for more…
We heard the food was delicious from many of our guests. Unfortunately my husband and I were too busy greeting our 400+ guests, so we didn’t get to eat. However, I heard really good feed backs from our guests. They really enjoyed the food, especially the walnut shrimp, Peking duck, cold deli dish, lobster… pretty much everything. My dad goes to Asian weddings all the time, so he can be a food critic. He wouldn’t let me pick a restaurant that didn’t serve good food
Overall, we were pleased with all the decors, food and service. We would totally recommend this venue to our friends and family.
Once again, thank you Tom and Thao. You guys rock!!!

I came here for a wedding reception. Didn’t expect too much because I’m used to the typical «asian wedding with 7 course seafood» but the entire table and I were so pleasantly surprised. We had no idea what we were in for!
I think it was like 9 courses of mainly seafood and one chicken dish. It was the best of the best quality. But I have to say it was probably because the THE BRIDE AND GROOM SPARED NO EXPENSE when it came to the menu. We were treated to the usual: cold deli slices, shark fin soup, scallops, lobster, ginger garlic crab, baked fish, deep fried chicken … I can’t remember anymore. The food kept coming and coming and I was so stuffed by the time the chicken came. The dishes sound so boring but I have to say it was very high quality and very well made. The dishes were delicious and well prepared. You could tell they took their time making sure the dishes came out perfect. Not one complaint at the table!
Til this day, everyone still raves about the food! Hands down, best wedding food served at an asian reception.
5 stars for the quality of food and service but recognition must also go to the BRIDE AND GROOM who chose the menu and treated their guests to an amazing dinner!

The review written by Johnny N is totally wrong. The place reviewed by him is NOT even Regent West, but the restaurant a couple mins down the street– Grand Garden I believe, on Bolsa, in the same plaza as Yogurt Passion. I believe the plaza is called Catinat Plaza. Hong Mai, as mentioned in Johnny’s review, is also in that plaza.
Regent West doesn’t open for lunch; it is strictly a catering company/​banquet hall. Very reasonably priced, willingness to work with your budget, customizable wedding décor.

Regent West Restaurant
We had our wedding reception here and it was the best. So many people gave us good compliments regarding the décor. Our coordinator Thuy was awesome. She did everything we expected and more. The decorations and arrangements she had made the nite before totally made our nite memorable. I wished I could of had more time to enjoy it more.
The food from what I’ve heard (I didn’t have time to eat) was pretty good and better than Grand Garden.
Some of the things included in our wedding package are the flower arrangement except for the center pieces, matching table cloth, chair cover/​ribbon, free wedding cake, sodas, and appetizers.
Our wedding cake had mixed berries which we had to add an extra $ 70 because it’s not their normal free flavor to which the person making the cake does. We offered to even go to the market to buy the berries since we saw fresh berries still in season. In the end, the cake was awesome. I never expected to taste that good.
I would definately recommend this place for a wedding reception if on a budget.
