• Southeast Asian • Huntington Beach
Booked 40 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

    We took my Mom here for her 85th Birthday 🎂 and she absolutely loved it. My husband and I have been coming here for years and view it as one of our favorite restaurants. Thank you Capital Grille for making my Mom's Birthday special. She absolutely loves Ribeye Steak and was in awe of the Ribeye steak sandwich. Amazing 👏

    We love this place. There's really nothing better overall...the food is to die for and the service is fabulous. We must have been here like 20 times and will definitely be back. However I'm not sure what happened here in the last 6 months. It used to have such a great vibe - the 80s gangster rap was a brilliant fusion with classic Asian. Unfortunately a few whiny people, the minority as always, wrecked the experience - despite the clear notification that there would be language in the music played. Wish the whiners would just stay at home and not wreck it for the rest of us. Apart from that, do yourself a favor and go treat yourself to some amazing food. Get the sticky rice to start with. You'll love it!
