Little Sister

Great food, great service! What more can you ask for? The tables are too close to each other.

Fresh food with excellent flavors. Only downside is parking. Food was sooooo good!! Excellent food and service. Great Vietnamese food with a contemporary approach to many classic dishes.

Little Sister - Downtown

Good wine list to complement the cuisine. Our lady server was very knowledgeable and accommodating and made us feel well taken care of. Nice table, nice server, fast food delivery. Slow on tea refills. Food was very expensive, seemed salty, and was good, but not enough to tell a friend about. Which is just me, because my dining companion, a fan of the menu, loves the place. I understand that it's a high end restaurant but servers should still smile and be grateful that folks are dining there. I did not get our server's name but she is super skinny and wears glasses and had a really big attitude.

I think management should do a better job of supervising servers and ensuring that guests get treated with respect. I mean perhaps Little Sister wants to be this way to give off an aura of "we don't need you" but I'm thinking that's bad business. This was my second time going, and I was super excited to take a friend who was seeking an night out in downtown L. The service was amazing and so was the food.

However, one of the dishes we ordered never made it to the table. The waitress was very apologetic and kept going to the the kitchen to check on it. When we received our check, our waitress let us know that the dessert and the pending dish was on the house! Excellent food flavorful and unique but the waiter at a 5p reservation with empty tables everywhere visited 1x for order and 1x for bill. Had 1round of delivered late drinks well into meal and we would have drank much more but went MIA in service and delivered wrong drinks at first So staff wise poor, food excellent. Food is always delicious.

Lots of varied textures and complex flavors. Servers are happy to explain the dishes and make recommendations. Tables way too close together, can barely move in this restaurant. The food is very good.

The menu can be confusing, so it is nice to have the wait staff knowledgeable about the entrees. The noise level is too loud especially for business lunches. They need some acoustic absorbing materials. Great Food and so easy to over order here as you want to try so many different things. The food was great, but our tables were so close to each other that we could hear everything everyone around us was saying. We needed to physically move the table when we got up to leave so we could get out.

Little Sister is just great!! All-nighter f the dishes offer a new taste. Food is decent, a little greasy. One of the best restaurants in Los Angeles. Always love going to Little Sister, food is so flavorful, ambiance is romantic and service superb. Continue the good job! Top notch food and atmosphere. Flavors for days with a charming staff as well. Sign up Sign in.

Other reviews likened it to watching Allison from "The Breakfast Club" all grown up and realizing she's probably turned into her parents forget all that makeover crap , and it's an apt description. Flashbacks in the form of old home movies - a slightly contrived device, particularly the way adults are only seen from the waist down - show us a woman who wants the best for her children yet resents them, in a way, for the sacrifices they represent.

Life has continually disappointed Joani, and while she makes every effort to cope, sometimes it's easier to tune out and let things run themselves into potential disaster. Sheedy captures this in smiles that look like grimaces of pain, an annoyed glare as Colleen prays before dinner, or the haphazard way she pours herself wine while adding liberal amounts - among other things - to her cooking.

What to Read Next

It flirts with being too broad early on, but finds balance at exactly the right time, during a quietly fraught talk in which mother and sister only just learn how to see eye to eye. In that moment, unburdening her soul to the one she desperately wants to feel close with, Sheedy is heartbreakingly authentic, and if she really has decided to retire from acting - except for a cameo in "X-Men Apocalypse," she has not appeared in anything since - this was a strong final role.

I hesitate to say there were things I didn't like about "Little Sister," and they're honestly more nitpicks than anything. Earlier I mentioned the relative lack of plot, and considering what the film wants to be, that's fine. However, there were one or two tangents I wish had been elaborated upon, and characters I would have liked to spend more time with. The film's flirtations with politics - making Jacob an Iraq vet during the election, an interpretive dance show that came off as very anti-Bush - seem to be pointed commentary, but ultimately do nothing except date the film.

Again, nitpicking, but I felt like Clark wanted to tell me one thing, then lost interest and moved on. No, the one moment that truly bothered me came in the last ten minutes, during a sudden burst of what I guess you could call action after there's already been a dramatic climax. Upon reflection it's not wholly unexpected - at least two earlier scenes hint at it - and there's a morbidly goofy tone, but it feels like a weird detour, and afterward I had to wonder why it was there at all. But I might just not be reading it correctly. I mentioned in my review of "Submission" that, while I realized Addison Timlin is an amazing actress, I'd yet to see her in a film that equaled the level of passion and dedication she brings to each project.

At heart, it's a slight, quirky character drama made with obvious love, a story of finding yourself while helping others do the same, and what it means to be a family.
