East-Meets-West dishes that inspire and evoke a feeling of being welcomed into Chef Vuong'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. Chef Tin curates the restaurant's wine and beverage program with a focus on intriguing labels, both domestically and from around the world.

We were a table of 10. We had 3 reservations for3 tables of 4 each so happy that the tables were pushed together. Service was great. My LS noodles were a bit dry. I asked for some sauce to help with dryness and it worked. My friend loved her crepe and other liked the curry stew.

Fresh, clean food. Hard to find Vietnamese, the compositions are creative, nuanced, extremely flavorful. Service is good, every restaurant deserves to be cut a little slack right now due to staffing challenges and I suspect their kitchen struggles at times with pacing.

We are outside. Was slavery bit noisy . Heaters worked well. Food was great as always. However, We prefer the old way that the lobster was served. The new way is good but we miss the great au jus that the lobster was in when it was previously served in a bowl. Definitely one of the more creative chefs in LA. The flavors of the dishes are amazing.

The Old Drunken Master cocktail was beyond too sweet and had to send it back. I believe I ordered this same cocktail at the South Redondo location, however, it was called “Whiskey Tea. This was a great drink in a tall glass with lots of ice. Service was pretty good considering how full the restaurant was. Food was top notch.

Fantastic food, prepare for spice. Service has been spotty the last few times we've been, but tolerable. Biggest complaint is the WAY TOO LOUD hip-hop/rap playlist they insist on playing. I get it's a vibe, and while I have zero problems with the music itself, for goodness sake, turn it down so we can have a normal conversation.

While the food was very good, the service was a bit harried. I ordered the chicken Pho but the beef version arrived and they insisted on giving it to me as it would take a long time for them to remake a chicken version which I ordered. And then suddenly another waiter arrived with the chicken version. Although we ordered appetizers, they came at the end of the meal and they explained to us that this wasn’t a “normal“ type of restaurant that the food comes out in the order that it takes to cook it. So overall it was an enjoyable experience and good food but rather odd the way that it was presented.

I was excited to have this “Little Sister” experience. When I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to the indoor/outdoor option. Although I’d made reservations, there was still an opportunity to have either. A lot of positive layers for this dining experience. What I didn’t expect was the pricing. It was more than expected. I’d highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions and not a quick lunch special. Also, I indicated that this was a birthday celebration when booking the reservation m, and it WAS NOT recognized AT ALL while dining. No complimentary dessert was offered to the birthday person. Boo, Little Sister. That was the reason we selected your restaurant, and you failed greatly on that part. Otherwise, the food was very, very good.

I was a little unsettled when the manager was the only one not wearing a mask. Hostess and service workers were fully masked and here is this man coming out with food and talking to people with no mask on. This was the fourth time I’ve been there in the last 3 months and same guy no mask. But the overall it’s always good. This particular night they were busy and short staffed but the food is always amazing. Kudos to making it work.

My husband and I had a Saturday lunch date at Little Sister. The food was wonderful! Every course, every bite filled with flavor. We were especially impressed with our server, Jennifer, who was so friendly and kind and informative about the menu. She was outstanding. The best service we've had for some time.

Possibly the worst service I've had at a restaurant in recent memory. Although we were told the dishes come out one at a time, there were 90 minutes between the appetizers and entrees. Nobody came and checked on us, offered us refills on drinks. To make matters worse, the waitress then blamed us for being impatient. The waitress continuously lied and said "The food is ready. I'm going to get it now," but to no avail. The food was great but I wouldn't put myself through that dysfunctional mess again.

I've been to other locations like DTLA and Redondo Beach but DTLA was a frequent spot. I still think DTLA is the best but this one is pretty on point. Definitely better than Redondo Beach! Awesome that they have outdoor dining!! Clean and organized. Staff is cheerful and cares about our experience! How lovely to be helped by people who enjoy what they do! The food is consistent with their other locations. Just being outside, food gets cold quicker. Must eat quickly after it arrives! Got the shakey beef, egg noodles, autumn rolls. You could not go wrong with their menu selections but definitely must try shakey beef!! I always get this every time I go to any Little Sister restaurant. I would totally come back to this location! It's inside The Point where there are so many options to sit and hang after a meal. Coffee, ice cream, outdoor lounging!

Almost 30 minutes then had to flag a waiter, another 20 minutes before our drinks arrived. For four of us ,food arrived at separate times and most of us were halfway through our food when final guests food arrived. For the price and brand this was way off expectation. What we did have was tasty but not worth the work and stress to get it. Manager never checked on us and it seemed only the tables nearest the bar got the most attention. Just an off night.

Wasn’t that impressed with the food. The spring rolls were good. Ordered the chicken curry bowl . The flavor was good, but it was way too salty and not very much chicken if you’re going to share it. Also had a lot of potatoes in it, but that wasn’t listed as an ingredient on the menu. We also ordered the salmon, but the waiter mistakenly didn’t put it in and we were already full when we figured that out.
