Everything was excellent but when I made reservation there was a box for “special occasion” and I filled out “Birthday Celebration.” We were never asked about this nor was anything special provided. The reservation created an expectation that was not met. Disappointing.
Outstanding Vietnamese based cuisine and the waitstaff is very knowledgeable. 🤙🏼😀🍲
I’m extremely disappointed with my experience at Little Sister Vietnamese Cuisine. While my group was packing up to leave, my friend’s camera suddenly went missing. We repeatedly asked the waiter who had been serving us, as well as his fellow employees, and everyone—including the waiter himself—kept denying having seen or taken it.
Only after directly confronting the waiter did he return the camera from his pocket. The situation was incredibly uncomfortable and upsetting. No customer should have to accuse staff and push for answers just to get their personal belongings back.
Regardless of the food, this experience made us feel unsafe and unwelcome. I won’t be returning and cannot recommend this restaurant.

Even with a reservation we had a bit of a long wait time which was unexpected. I did have a great time once we sat and the food was delicious. Perfect for date night when you're in the area.
Really loved the music and decor. The food was definitely modern fusion Vietnamese — heavy on the flavors but they weren't very traditional.
Food is plated beautifully. Ambience is great. Service was good, but after a couple of dishes.. the sauce started tasting the same. Too sweet. Overall.. we rated 3.5
The food is delicious. This is our second visit and we will be back. We had the pork belly, chicken wings, salmon crudo (highly recommend), garlic noodles, shaken beef, sticky rice and fried prawns. Highly recommend all of it!
Food was spectacular and full or robust flavors! Only complaint, empty dishes left on table all night.
Absolutely delicious food. Excellent service. Adam our waiter was excellent. Very clean and pretty restaurant. It's right in front of the Apple Store in the Spectrum. I highly recommend this restaurant. Their food is fantastic.

The food is good. The service is poor. Even after having issues with our order and having half our party wait to have their food re-made, no one checked on us the rest of the way. Had to go searching for our server to get help and to get the check, etc.
Unfortunately, they did not have enough help. Their service people were doing multiple jobs which affected the experience. The food was just ok
I used to really like this place, but I feel like the last few times I’ve been here have been noticeably less pleasant. The food was great as always, but there’s been a few changes. There’s no free pickles/cucumber as in the past. We waited a while before anyone took our order, and nobody checked up on us during the dinner. We didn’t get our water refilled once despite looking for someone. We also didn’t get hot towels despite everyone else around us getting some. Didn’t feel great!

The food was bland and even the Bahn Mi was dry and had no sauce with dark meat chicken. Pho was bland with a few sprouts and some basil. Whatever. That’s fine. But the service was abhorrent. We waited 30 minutes outside while trying to flag down anyone to pay the check. So we went inside to pay and got scowled at. Nice staff. Guess it’s food court mall food, really.

Great food to begin with but the servers forgot one of our order which made us waited almost 30 minutes with nothing. We want to try more food but got no attention from any of the servers. One said he will come back but then never come back so we lost patience on this wait. Also, no dessert menu was shown at the beginning and only suggested before we asked for the bill. The light at our table was off in the middle of our dinner but no server care to change it.
