  • Based on décor alone, Boca 7 would get four stars for all its fish-out-of-water glam in Mesa. The design work by the dentist/co-owner is totally over the top. The devil is in the details and a few of them need tweaking. The heights of the black crystal chandeliers and huge red fabric spheres need to be varied to make the ceiling look less cluttered. This place is also in desperate need of a dimmer switch. It is tradition that Asian restaurants be lit like they're in the middle of a raid to emphasize that they are clean, but all those chandeliers blazing on high are too much at Boca 7. The screw heads used to affix the huge Asian symbols to the back wall also need to be hidden. And what's with putting the cheapest paper napkins on the market on the granite tables? When you've spent this much money on the interior, either get a nice paper napkin or splash out for cloth napkins. Unfortunately, the food does not live up to the decor. Compared to a Vietnamese gem like Cyclo, the food here is a bit of a disappointment. There's nothing wrong with it, but this is the food I would expect to find in a very traditional Vietnamese restaurant. However, this setting makes me expect something much more modern. Perhaps the owners should look to Jin Ju in Chicago as a template to follow as I think that restaurant is much closer to the concept of mod Asian fare in a hip setting that would work for them. Now whether or not that concept will actually work in Mesa is another question altogether. The menu is a hoot. It's filled with advertising and reads like a gay who's who of Phoenix dentists and bankruptcy lawyers. This place is worth a visit just to check out the décor. If Liberace had been Vietnamese, this could have been his restaurant.
