California’s surf capital is also home to fine island dining. Duke’s Huntington Beach, located at the pier entrance, is a hotspot for surfers, locals, and visitors alike, honoring the Ambassador of Aloha himself, Duke Kahanamoku. Delicious entrees, craft cocktails and the world-famous Hula Pie dessert mix with a passionate surf culture to create an adventurous atmosphere rooted in the aloha spirit.

Huntington Beach
About the restaurant
Behind an unmarked door adjacent to the wine room, guests are transported to District 1 (China Town) in Saigon via Blackhouse’s 28-seat restaurant-within-a-restaurant, LSXO. A spinoff of the Little Sister brand (El Segundo, Redondo Beach & Downtown Los Angeles), LSXO is love letter to the culture, heritage, and lineage of Vietnam. While Little Sister is known for its French Vietnamese menu, LSXO follows the same Southeast Asian inspiration with a more refined feel.

Excellent service: Attentive, friendly, gave good recommendations for quantity of food for our party as well as favorite dishes. Great ambiance: love going through the doors at the back of Bluegold to this special room that’s been made to look like you’re in some secret part of the building. Furniture is comfortable and cozy and the large window with views of the beach is awesome. Love the 90s jams as well! Amazing food: on this visit we started with the dumplings, tender and deliciously flavored. Followed with the shrimp and pork spring rolls, so fresh and I could drink the peanut dipping sauce. Finished with the eggplant and fried chicken, and highly recommend both (with a side of rice). The chicken was crispy and tender and the combo of the sausage and eggplant in it’s delightful sauce was so satisfying.

The food here was overall really good—flavorful, fresh, and well-prepared. The only downside was the potatoes, which were a bit underwhelming compared to everything else. Still, definitely worth a visit!

The view was amazing. You have partial view of the Disney shows and fireworks. The drinks are amazing. I recommend the Raspberry Revelry if you prefer a nice summer time mixed drink.
