   A restaurant I’ll definitely go again to try other dishes on the menu. My favorite was the red and black rice dish. Excellent service and lovely design decor. I’m also interested to go to their other locations in LA and Redondo Beach

   Food is always great! We love coming to Little Sister. The service is great but they don’t have enough staff. They have 2 waiters for the entire restaurant so if you need anything you have to wait! But they are great and very accommodating!

   Food here is great, the restaurant is small which makes it tough to fit all those great dishes on the table. Other than that I would definitely recommend Little Sister. Dishes are flavorful and delicious.

   Very disappointed in the main courses, the timely delivery of food and the inattentiveness of the staff. We were there for a birthday celebration and other than a candle, the birthday girl received zero special attention.

    The food was outstanding as always. We were disappointed regarding all the things they ran out of such as the chicken, lamb, coconut! Someone didn’t plan well. But that forced us to try new dishes and we were not disappointed! Great dinner. But the table of 4 next to us was soooo loud!!! I think it must be the acoustics in the room. Thank goodness they left after about 30 mins! Otherwise, the dinner may not have been the same!

    Great meal and good service. There was only one thing that bothered us - it was my birthday, but we said we didn't want the desert. But they added the desert charge to the bill (we got the bill before they even brought out a desert). That was not very cool - if they want to provide a desert for someone birthday, they should comp it, especially if we specifically said no desert. We caught it in time, and they removed it from the bill, and didn't bring the desert.

    Hostess called to confirm booking. We had reserved a few months a head. She told us the table was booked after us so we would have limited time. Not happy with being rushed before we even entered the restaurant for our special planned dinner. Don’t recommend .

    I received the same call at 4 advising me on my reservation at 7 that the table was booked at 8:45. They also demanded a credit card over the phone which I advised her she could do that through the app. “We don’t have that”. When we showed up for our 7 pm reservation they didn’t have a table. But oh well by the way the restaurant was half empty at 8:45. What a bummer. Lots of other great restaurants in MB. Get it together.

    We ordered and the appetizers came out. The food was extremely delicious. Then the main course came out and everybody was served except my nice. We waited and waited. Finally we called the waitress over and realized the waitress f at I’m to put in a main course order for my nice even though she ordered the fish. The mood changed. Everyone was enjoying themselves until the waitress messed up my nice’s order. The mood of the table changed. My nice said she did not want the fish. As we were finishing the main course, my nice’s fish dish came out. She had told the waitress she did not want it and repeated that she did not want the fish. We ordered desert and the waitress said she had boxed the fish dish for no charge. After we finished desert she told us desert was free. When the waitress presented the will, she said desert next time is on me and gave me a free desert card. After she left we realized it was one card for one desert and not free desert for the four people at the table. That is when I really felt CB insulted. Little Sister is one of my favorite restaurants. I felt disrespected who took the mixup as not really her problem. I felt the waitress who was also the manager failed to pay adequate attention to our table and our order. On top of it all, one of the buss boys tried to remove my main course when I had only eaten half the order. At that point, I was upset and disappointed at how we were treated. I am very disappointed with the e service and how we were treated, including the lack of respect over the seriousness of the mistake by the restaurant.

    We shared several dishes among 4 people. Everything was different and the flavors were great. Loved the spice on the papaya salad and the bo kho was a favorite with a very flavorful broth. Overall all of the dishes delivered.

    Food was ok, some dishes over cooked. Service was terrible. Servers were friendly, but understaffed. Multiple large parties threw off the cadence and turned into a 2.5 hour dinner with lots of waiting. We ultimately cancelled our desert and left early. Management needs to better prepare for holiday traffic and staff up. Would try again on a regular night to better evaluate the experience

    I have dined here before and wasn’t a big fan (tried a braised pork belly dish that they put ketchup in and it was awful). Decided to give it another try since we wanted some vietnamese and it’s within walking distance to us. We felt disappointed again, mediocre flavor (I’m Vietnamese so I needed something more authentic) but out of everything, the meal was really reallr pricey. We walked out of the restaurant never paying that much for vietnamese food (avg $20 per plate) and feeling that unsatisfied (the portion is also tiny). I get the downtown mb location and nice ambience kick up the price a lot, but I don’t think it was worth it...
