Little Sister

Little Sister at The Point in El Segundo is the kind of place where convenience meets genuinely good food. Nestled in a shopping center with easy parking, this modern Vietnamese spot has figured out how to deliver fresh, vibrant dishes without making you wait around forever. It’s part of a small LA chain with four locations scattered across the South Bay, downtown, and Irvine, but this particular outpost stands out for its accessibility and laid-back atmosphere.

The menu here leans heavily into the lighter side of Vietnamese cuisine, which is honestly a blessing. Think shrimp and pork belly summer rolls bursting with fresh herbs, or a perfectly crispy Vietnamese crepe that delivers satisfying crunch without the heaviness. Everything comes with plenty of herbs and vegetables, so you can eat well and still have room in your stomach (and your schedule) for whatever comes next.

Service moves at a brisk pace, which makes this an ideal spot for catching up with someone you haven’t seen in ages without having to commit to a marathon meal. The sit-down format means you’re not dealing with the chaos of fast-casual ordering, but you also won’t be twiddling your thumbs waiting for the check. It hits that sweet spot between casual and proper dining.

Whether you’re looking for a quick weekday lunch, a low-key first date, or just want to grab a seat at the bar and enjoy some excellent Vietnamese food, Little Sister delivers. The South Bay location is particularly great for anyone who values their time but doesn’t want to sacrifice quality for convenience.
