Our History
Eight concepts, one idea.
Kei Concepts was founded by a Vietnamese immigrant with the ambition to build something this community could be proud of. What started as a single restaurant has grown into a full restaurant group — concept by concept, neighborhood by neighborhood, never losing sight of why we started. AAPI-owned, Orange County-rooted, and driven by the belief that where you come from should inspire what you create, not limit it.
