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

    Not sure why we waited so long to come here. By far, the best restaurant in Orange County. Everything was amazing. We had the dumplings, shaky beef, garlic noodles and bone marrow. Every dish was super delicious, including the desserts. Amazing cocktails, too!

    The view is very pleasant. Our server Andrea is polite. We ordered spring rolls which you can’t compare to the one at Brodard nearby but three times the price. The seabass was ok. The Shaken Beef was so salty that one bite was already too much!

    Food, service and sunset view were outstanding, my only constructive criticism is one of our dining chairs was worn and ripped open you could see a 1 foot wide swath of the chair’s stuffing. Simple fix…

    Made a reservation for 8:15pm for an anniversary dinner and when we showed up the restaurant wasn’t even open. It was a Friday night. Called multiple times and no answer or explanation. We drove all the way from San Diego and paid for parking too. Very disappointed.
    LSXOResponded 6 days ago
    Thanks for the feedback. We're so sorry to hear about your experience with us on the special occasion of your anniversary. It's unfortunate that you had to drive from San Diego, pay for parking, and have to wait for your reservation to be ready. This was not our standard service and we apologize for the inconvenience. We appreciate your patience and understanding. We hope you'll give LSXO another chance to make things right.

    Food was unique and delicious. Was very cold in the restaurant. Nearly uncomfortably cold. Having the T.V. on completely took away from the ambience of the intimate and unique space. Would otherwise be a very exceptional experience.
