• Southeast Asian • Huntington Beach
Booked 25 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

    This was our first time dining in this establishment. I've always heard great things about Mastro's and was excited to try their steaks. Made reservation ahead of time. Our server, Sean, was fairly new, but he was friendly and described the dishes extremely well. We ordered half dozen oysters to start, followed by a chopped salad to share. For our Entrees, I went with their Porterhouse, medium rate, and wife ordered a Pan Seared Sea Bass. She thought the fish was somewhat dry, so we talked to our server, and he was happy to assist us to swap the dish to something else. We decided to get their Seared Scallops; which was more expensive, but tasted phenomenal. My steak was very well seasoned and cooked to the right temp. We also ordered their Lobster Mashed Potatoes which was a good portion to share. It was full of flavor and tasted very buttery. Overall, experience was very good, we also ordered a couple of drinks to go along with our meal. To finish our dinner, we also ordered their Espresso Mouse Cake. It was very sweet, but was a good compliment with coffee.

    Caleb was the best server ever! We love him. Great follow up, checked on us regularly and got us in and out in time for the holiday play. We were late for our reservation bc of traffic (helicopter accident at Camp Pendleton). Thank you Caleb! You deserve a raise.

    Very good, it’s been this way past few years we have dined. The best way to dine is “Family Style” and add on some apps to share and choose the carbs…we like steamed jasmine rice, and garlic noodles. The Orange peel chicken is great…butterfish and the sizzling Ribeye!! *Get the ribeye med rare and it will continue cooking to med. yummm. Didn’t table side ice cream it was delicious and came with a fresh baked chocolate cookie.

    This is a wonderful restaurant. The artistically prepared food is delicious and so beautiful. I felt compelled to take pictures of every course. The ambiance is unique and private. The restaurant is spotless and the service is top notch. I highly recommend this restaurant even if you aren’t generally a vegan or vegetarian..
