• Southeast Asian • Huntington Beach
Booked 31 times today
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 (Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach & Downtown Los Angeles), LSXO is love letter to the culture, heritage, and lineage of Vietnam (Vuong’s relatives hail from the region). While Little Sister is known for its French Vietnamese menu, LSXO follows the same Southeast Asian inspiration with a more refined feel. “There is no signage for LSXO—you can spot the entrance of it tucked into a section inside Bluegold, but you’ll have to know it’s there. While Bluegold is light, bright, and airy, LSXO is its darker, edgier little sister,” says Vuong. “Both restaurants operate out of the same kitchen, though the menus are completely different. LSXO offers straight-up, honest, home-style Vietnamese cuisine—the type of food I grew up eating with my grandparents in the San Gabriel Valley

    Great food as usual. Service was patchy. Had to ask for utensils, no salt or pepper on the table. But it was very busy, so that might be the reason. Oysters were meeh, regular dishes great.

    I’ve been to this location going on almost 30 times now, and the consistency of service, food, ambience, etc. is second to none! Highly recommend the bacon wrapped chicken, bottom sirloin, filet mignon, and the tastiest lamb with mint jelly ever! Obviously, we will certainly return! Our thanks to the entire staff for being as consistent, friendly and professional as they are. It’s a real pleasure to die in here!

    I flew in from Arcata for dinner reservations for Valentine with the Mrs. We are staying at the Westin next door. Easy walk to WG. The hostess was amazing, we were seated within 5 min of our rezo and near the Jazz musician. Our waiter was Brandon, amazing experience! We had spent Valentines 2024 WG at oyster bar. This evening rather than order off the menu we wanted to try the 4 course. I don’t have a lot of experience in fine dining and 4 courses with wine pairing. Brandon was very helpful with sharing how the menu would be served this evening. The Mrs she’s used to fine dining but for an island boy from Samoa it was a new experience for me. Amazing experience and for those who may have not experienced fine dining 4 course with wine pairing just ask the your wait person for help. I’m never afraid to ask if I do not know. The fork thing, the many utensils, the different glasses, etc 😂 Definitely will plan a dinner outing for the entire family, 12 total, this summer when I’m back in town. Salute and Respects to Brandon, and the entire WG team. The Jazz musician was 🔥🔥🔥

    What a great Valentine’s Day theme! We double dated and it was our first time going there so we had a lot of fun. The music was great, loud but not too loud where we couldn’t have a conversation. They filled up the place with many red floating balloons and looked so festive. The special Valentine’s menu was top notch with great selections no matter what diet you’re on. Service was always attentive even as crowded as they were. Great memories were made and we can’t wait to go back!

    We visited in Valentines Day. The restaurant was packed people waiting everywhere. Our experience was great. Although it took more time than usual and the temperature of our food wasn’t right, our dining experience was still good. Our server was pleasant and working so hard to make everyone happy.
