    The Kennedy (vodka, passion fruit liqueur, pineapple, lime, egg white)
    Malina L.

    We made a reservation on Open Table for a late dinner at the start of Dine LA week (winter 2026). During Dine LA, you can get an appetizer, entree, and dessert for $55. The atmosphere is ideal for date nights or group catch-ups, although the tables are quite close together, so you may hear the conversation of the people sitting next to you. Service is always warm and attentive. The first time we went to Little Sister in 2025, the food did not impress me, but this time was a different story. Little Sister excelled at bold tastes and textures through a Vietnamese fusion lens. The papaya salad was bursting with flavor and crunch from the candied shrimp and roasted peanuts. The Shorty offered a mix of umami and sweetness from the braised short rib. The dessert, a Vietnamese coffee custard, was divine. We left feeling stuffed and with leftovers. Their cocktail list is also full of unique selections. I opted for the Kennedy, a vodka-based drink with passion fruit liqueur, pineapple, lime, and egg white. It was very well-balanced while also quite strong. My partner got the XO, Little Sister's version of an old fashioned. The blend of citrus and spices was really pleasant. Parking is generally not too difficult at this location. There are metered spots in an adjacent lot for $2/hr until 9 pm. Would recommend a stop during Dine LA week for the deals and food!

    I came here with a couple of friends. We started with two appetizers- octopus and crispy rice. Both were reasonably large for appetizers and enjoyable. We ordered the crab rice dish (forget what it's called), garlic noodles and a beef dish. Then we finished with a key lime dessert (which I would have finished if I wasn't so full). Service from Michael was great. He was on point with time, spacing and service. He was informative with the history of ambiance (mood, music, a chef's vision). Only downfall for me was the lack of liquor choices. I'm selective with what tequilas I enjoy and there weren't many choices without preservatives. I'll be back.

    Great service! It's a local favorite. This restaurant is a vibe! It's dim and cozy, has a full bar with a variety of drinks, mocktails, and great music! The food is so good and the staff is on it! Came without a reservation and had a really nice meal and experience.

    Spring roles were perfect!

    Wow! Why didn't I know about this place? It's fantastic! And they have other locations across LA yayyyyy! This time I went to the RB one after a nice beach and PV walk. Delish. We had the fish appetizer, and the spring rolls. We were in a rush and needed to eat light. The flavor of their sauces and seasonings is so so good! Costs are as expected. Service was good. The interior decor is very cute. Live the red leather seats with the bronze grommets like a 70s modern twist. Parking is ok weekdays but lunch and dinner and weekends are a bit harder as the area has tons of places to eat and shop and people park here for the beach as well so be prepared! Bus stops nearby! Will def be back or to visit another location!

    Everything was wonderful, great ambience and furnishings. The food was excellent. Their version of an Espresso Martini was the best I had ever. Our waitress Janae was very good. We will definitely add this place to one of our favorites for dining.

    XO Fries
    Genie L.

    Glad to see Little Sister Redondo Beach open up Saturday and Sunday brunch to compete with the other surrounding restaurants. And the brunch menu did not disappoint. So many delicious-sounding options. The Croque Madame was very good. Great flavors with the shrimp, pork, egg and brioche. The salad was a refreshing balance, but the dressing from the salad makes the bread too soggy. Maybe plate the salad in a bowl alongside the Croque Madame. XO brunch fries were definitely the highlight of the meal. So much good flavors in each bite. I tried some of my friend's pho bo. Unfortunately the flavor wasn't there. Too much fat in the broth and there was no depth to it. Pho broth needs to simmer for hours, the longer, the better. There was only one server managing the entire restaurant, and he was nice, but service was really slow. Took about 20 minutes to get our fries and another 30 minutes to get our main dishes. Also, there was a dead roach on the floor, next to our table, which I pointed out to the server and he got rid of it. It's SoCal. Roaches are expected. It was dead so that's a good sign that the place is sprayed, but still not great to see as you're eating. I do like the brunch menu and wanted try other options, but TBH, not sure I'll come back to this location.

    'Suon Nuong' Grilled Pork Chop. Delicious!

    Had a great dinner recently! All of the dishes we tried were great, especially the dessert! They have outside seating which we appreciated so we could dine with our pup. They provided a water bowl and were flirty friendly with our pup. We went on a slow day, which was great because we got sat quickly and the waitress was super friendly and attentive.

    Pan-Fried Sea Bass

    Hey Little Sis! Thank you so much for the amazing meal and vibes. The playlist was on point just like the food. I'd already had an opportunity to dine here with my little sister last year and I knew I had to return with my husband. We walked in knowing that the food was going to be everything I remembered based on the smell and I knew I wouldn't want the night to end once I lifted my fork. I'll be honest, I had to use my hands a couple of times . Don't judge how else would you eat fried chicken and lettuce wraps. We had so much more than that but the aforementioned appetizers needed hand action and finger licking. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable with a cool sense of humor. This was a multi vibe type of spot... family friendly , date night chilling, single living , and girls night thrilln all mixed into one . When it comes to the food it's hard to describe every dish and If I attempted it would take too long so I'll leave you with these adjectives: Vibrant, Appetizing, Aromatic, Fresh, Delectable, Awesome, and Delicious. I have the pictures to prove it. Litttle Sister is a Must Try !

    Pan-Fried Sea Bass
    Lucy Y.

    We came here for dinner on a Saturday, & I left surprised at the quality of the Yelp reviews. It is a cute place, & we scored a meter right out front. But we had mixed feelings about the food & the service was odd. Warm milk rolls - the hot, soft in the middle rolls served w/butter & star anise-spiced honey were super yum. Definitely recommend! Pan seared sea bass - looked good & my friend really enjoyed it Shaky shaky beef - the tomato rice was the best thing on this plate. The beef was described as very soft tenderloin chunks - but it was cooked so long, it had the texture of chewy beef liver in too much overly salty sauce. Plus the watercress salad was 90% stem. I do not recommend. Pan fried eggplant - a generous side dish, & well seasoned. Would recommend. Chocolate mousse cake - this was very good, served with a raspberry sorbet. I'd recommend. The service was odd. No butter knives were given with the (not fully soft) butter & sticky honey for the warm milk rolls. And three separate bussers tried to clear away the butter & honey dish while we were still eating our rolls. Our server gave my friend a very vague description of how to eat her sea bass ssam style (it came with a bowl of lettuce, herbs, vermicelli & peanuts), but the fish itself is way too wet & sauced to be eaten with your hands in a lettuce leaf wrap. We looked at pics of the fresh rice rolls & they too were sitting in a sauce. Too much automatically sauced food on this menu. The things I did enjoy & would recommend do not justify a return visit. Price is usually not something that affects my reviews - but the prices here are not worth it at all. There is so much better, actually authentic, Vietnamese food to be had elsewhere in this city.

    So I'm not going to lie my review is really old. maybe from 2023. We came for mother's day and it was a whole feast! the food was really good and something unique and I loved it so much I went to the el Segundo one as soon as it opened at the pointe. the service wasn't great from what I remember with slightly rude hosts and a server who was like no where to be found, and I think even rolled her eyes at us when we asked her to turn the heater on because we were sitting outside. mind you, we had a reservation and all and we were under the impression we would be dining inside because we had a large group with old folks who get cold easily. other than that the experience was good. obvi getting the food togo isn't the same but I do think they are unique enough to try once! it is really expensive though and that was 2 or 3 years ago so be prepared to spend some cash.

    Golden Lotus (gin, sweet vermouth, strawberry, lemon)
    Cailin K.

    First time going and I would highly recommend. The atmosphere is laid back yet has the ambiance of being upscale. I started with a drink- the Golden Lotus. Which was made by Mike, who is one the best bartenders I've encountered, the drink was delicious. Then based off of Ryan's awesome recommendation I ordered the 'Xoi'- Sticky Rice and the Goi Cuon. Both were good, but I found myself loving the Gio Cuon (spring rolls) more! I highly, highly recommend their spring rolls! All around an amazing meal, phenomenal customer service and the food made me smile on the first bite.

    Pickled cucumbers
    Sarah S.

    We had reservations for 6:15 pm on a Saturday that we had changed a couple hours before. I think there was miscommunication because the hostess said she didn't have our reservation down, but they were still able to sit us at another table. We were a party of 2. Our server was really nice! And she checked up on us pretty often. They gave us complimentary spicy cucumbers and warm towels. The cucumbers had a nice crunch and they gave us a good amount. We also ordered the shrimp and pork spring rolls and loved the crunchy pork that added texture to the dish. I ordered the Pho Bo and what set this dish apart from the others was the higher quality ingredients. They also give a healthy amount of pho noodles.

    Rija K.

    Portion size was great very large and filling. Dumpling appetizer was so good and the chicken curry, everything was SO flavorful. I loved the garlic noodles bc I love pasta and noodles lol I can't wait to go back and try out the pho. It is pricey though in terms of what each dish is priced at. The beef dish was okay not what I would go back for but I can't wait to go back to try the Pho.

    Fresh short rib spring rolls & amazing appetizers! Their wine list is impressive and cocktails are a must!

The dry chilies, sesame seeds, nuts, Oaxacan chocolate, and herbs provide a velvety sauce for the chicken picadillo. The darkly hued Mole Coloraditos has a little bit of a spicy kick from its toasted chilies, nuts, sesame seeds, chocolate, tomatoes, and spices. It's hard not to use the shredded beef enchilada to swab the plate clean. I would seriously lick the plate clean if I was at home. OK, the last one isn't a mole.

We started with the calamari, which was perfectly cooked and disappeared fast. Then came the Fish & Chips. The fish was crispy, golden brown, and cooked perfectly.
