Little Sister DTLA features East-meets-West inspired dishes served in a
relaxed social environment that feels more residential than
restaurant, as if you"re being invited into the Chef Tin's home.
Little Sister's menu showcases Chef Tin's take on one of the more
interesting and rich collisions of food and culture that was borne out
of the European colonization of Southeast Asia. Dishes blend and
balance the spices and flavors of Southeast Asia with French
techniques and Dutch and British colonial influences. The menu is
continually and progressively evolving, reflecting inspiration and the
seasons. Scott Young along with Chef Tin curates the restaurant's wine and beverage program
with a focus on intriguing labels, both domestically and from around
the world. Craft beer selection includes special batches from The
Brewery at Abigaile, brewed only for the restaurant.

Great food and great ambiance. Dined solo and wish I had someone else with me so I could try more food. Their portions are big, so I stuck with appetizers. Best wings ever and the side of black rice was delicious!

Yummy! Great service (although there seemed to be too many people working there) and food was yummy. The portions are large, it’s not really tapas sized. Get your own plate and share with a friend, but don’t overdo it because you’ll be SO FULL. Will come back for the tartare and bone marrow.

Interesting flavors, amazing, unique dishes and whatever you order, you will be surprised and delighted with the dish. Black rice with seafood is a must. Go on the early side if you like a less energetic atmosphere - the place gets rocking and conversation is definitely possible but challenging at times.
