• Southeast Asian • Huntington Beach

Booked 49 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

Had a fantastic experience at this place! First the manager Cesar came by and told us happy new year and let us know he’s available if we have any concerns we asked him for recommendations and he told us to split the bone in rib-eye and a big lobster, was a great portion for 2 people, the server recommended some sides and we went with her dessert for recommendation of the Grenache which was killer!!!! At the end John stopped by who is the new GM asking about our experience and thank us for dining in, absolutely fantastic time

Our family wasn’t available for Christmas dinner at home this year, so the two of us went off on an adventure & found Pacific Hideaway. Everything was great - the modern ambience, the pleasant service, & delicious food! We left happy & content! Hope to return again soon!👍👍👍👍

What a WONDERFUL way to celebrate Christmas Eve! As America returns to its' roots of valuing friends/family, it was SO nice to enjoy a GREAT Christmas Eve dinner at Black Angus/FV! EVERYONE there - including GM Mark, Mgr Samantha and Servers Mia and Kim - made our evening, memorable. Their team of chefs, cooks, food runners and everyone on the team made the food outstanding - including the Lobster tails and their new appetizer of Blue Cheese Mac & Cheese! Thank you, Black Angus! Merry Christmas and looking forward to seeing you guys in 2025!
