• Southeast Asian • Huntington Beach

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

Julia went out of her way to get us an excellent table. Zack over exceeded expectations delivering high quality service with customer service excellence. He went out of his way to ensure that we had a meaningful and memorable first experience at Joey Newport Beach. I would recommend he and Julia for any guest who chooses to dine at this establishment Maintaining authenticity while serving clients is an art when present, should be valued and commended.

Angelina was an amazing waitress on Christmas day. The food and drinks were fantastic. While the inside of the restaurant is nice, it does sit on a busy street that was noisy. That is my only complaint. Everything else was great!
