The Banh Mi at Little Sister in LA takes cold cuts , lemongrass chicken or spiced brisket and tops them with light, fresh vegetables like daikon and carrots , sliced cucumber , cilantro and jalapeño . Read more

Roberto Chan

It's always crowded here, suggest to make reservation here, recommend the lemongrass chicken , red braised lamb curry

AmateurConcierge

Fantastic Singaporean/Vietnamese food. The chicken is a must, loved the sea bass too. Shaky beef was good but chicken and bass better. Pass on the okra (and I love okra )

Doug de Wet

Our server recommended the refreshing grilled prawn salad . Bursting with bright , bold flavors and fresh herbs , it was crunchy and wonderful.

Adrian Phillips

Brilliant southeast Asian / Vietnamese style meal. Be sure to try the salted cod fried rice , pea tendrils & lemongrass steak . Imperial rolls were delicious. Service was outstanding.

Connie Chiu

The best dish was the SGV banh mi ! Big and flavorful. Papaya salad is also good. Everything else was okay. Didn’t love the shaky beef or the rice paper beef roll . Beef tartare was okay. Love the vibe.

Eater

Chef Tin Vuong has essentially channeled the same decor and menu, which works great on the corner of 7th and Grand. Read more

Amazing flavors. Favorites include the pho gỏi cuốn and their take on one of my grandma's comfort food dishes, mapo tofu/dofu.

Thomas Colton

Actually worth the hype. The space is small, so come off peak hours or make a reservation . The shaky shaky steak is incredible, but there realistically isn't a bad option on the menu.

jennifer han

the imperial rolls are so umami and delicious! the pho banh cuon is also yummy - all the flavors of pho in roll form.

Doug de Wet

Must eat more Imperial Rolls ! Didn't plan on stopping, but the incredible aroma beckoned us to enter. Imperial rolls are stellar.

Amazing fusion Vietnamese food ! Portions are huge and everything is delicious.

Tom Pistol

I'm not a big fan of salad but the one here was super good with fresh herbs and a good dressing . The other dishes were delicious too.

Mary Anderson

Lemongrass beef , spring rolls , the noodles , chicken bahn mi !! Everything is sooo good!!

We love the Autumn rolls: sweet potato , jicama egg , viet herbs, chinese sausage , sweet shrimp , coconut peanut sauce .

Roobs

Not at all what I imagined but an interesting side. Look at the adorably tiny lotus root ! (Knife for scale). Note that this is definitely low-to-medium level spicy .

Anna Sun

Great atmosphere, nice service and tasty food freshly made right in front of you :) definitely recommend to visit!

Tom Chatt

@theJGold sez the lemongrass chicken is impossible to stop eating, and the duck congee "has the smack of recently roasted duck ".

Sara Whitaker

Everything I have had here is wonderful. Highly recommend the spring rolls and vermicelli noodles .

Robb Ferris

Probably the best pho I’ve ever had. Get that and the shaky shaky beef - so much flavor

Paul Cunningham

The lemongrass chicken was very good, but a warning: there can be small bone fragments.

Ivan Gudov

Pho and lamb curry was delicious. Portions are very filling, so consider sharing.

Reserve

A European-influence Southeast Asian dish , the chili bean curd is delicious. Read more

Rebecca M

Rice paper rolls are out of this world--fresh, flavorful, and elegant.

Roobs

Bo kho. A tiny bit of a kick (not as spicy as all the other reviews make it out to be).

Audrey Chou

Pho ga really hits the spot! Great broth

Audrey Chou

Flavorful pho ga + love the textures and fried donut with the fish congee

Marino Maranion

Would come back for the Okra curry alone. Lemongrass beef & vermicelli was particularly tasty too

Jon Pressman

Phenomenal food and decor. Try the eggplant and sausage

Mouni Reddy

Everything! One of my favorite restaurants stateside.

Roobs

Half of the pate that comes with the Bo kho. There were also baguettes , but those didn't last long.

Erin Silk

Shaky shaky beef was awesome, and so was the mostly-Kanye playlist

Andrew Galdi

The pork belly was probably top 3 I've ever had!

Isabella Wei

Beef vermicelli and red & black seafood rice are bomb

Mechell Elle

The Imperial rolls and Myanmar Curry okra were our faves

Maya Byrne

AMAZING pho ! Loved everything we got

Ruby Anaya

There is literally nothing without meat on the menu except bread . Even all three salads have meat. I need some veggies too ya know!

T Man

Flan for desert , sausage roll , wine by the glass.

Thirsty James

Hip hop and noodles ! Fun night!

Chris Yape

The menu has been updated, there is no more congee or chao available.

Chele Rocks

Was excited to try the lotus sticky rice w/chicken & pork , topped w/fried egg . The rice was a basically a glutenous lump + no flavor. Pass.

Adam

Try the ban xeo

Berry's Modern Bathroom Trendings

Perfectly admired the Asian Food !

Lucie Clark

Underwhelming experience tonight at Little Sister. We were expecting a great meal but the menu was confusing and the food wasn’t great. Overall an average experience.

Jacqueline Fernandez

Not vegetarian friendly , so foursquare us wrong suggesting it.

Allison Yu

Was not expecting much from here but WOW that was some amazing pho and Vietnamese iced coffee . Mediocre service

jenny rock

Amazing Chao

Daniela Hobsig
