About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
East-Meets-West dishes inspired by the rich collisions of food and culture that was borne out of the European colonization of Southeast Asia. Dishes blend and balance the spices and flavors of Southeast Asia with French techniques and Dutch and British colonial influences.

The menu is continually evolving, reflecting both new inspiration and changing of the seasons. Our restaurant carefully curates spirits, wines, and beverages focusing on interesting flavors and pairings. We hope you'll dine with us soon.

    we went for what we thought was going to be a lovely lunch at Little sister. it was a beautiful day and we sat on the terrace. the decor everything is lovely. we proceeded to sit right under the speakers and we spent 1-1/2 listening to the most awful rap music. Who plays rapp in an upscale asian restaurant? It was disgusting and ruined our lunch. Effing this and Effing that. The manager either needs to manage or if he wasnt' there that day needs to know.

    Everything we tried was amazing! We got the Pho Bo, short rib banh mi, and rib stew. The flavor was incredible and the portions were so large, we had plenty of leftovers.
