Hidden Gem Restaurant in Irvine ✨

Recommending a true treasure in LA—Little Sister in Irvine! 📍 I’d heard so much about it before, but it was always too far for me to visit. Finally got to go with my OC girl squad for a food adventure! ❤️ We basically ordered almost everything—all the popular dishes were on our table! My personal top picks: 🥖 Short Rib Banh Mi – So flavorful and tender! 🍲 Pho Banh Cuon – Fresh and satisfying! 🍗 Chicken Wings – Crispy and well-seasoned! 🥗 Papaya Salad – Refreshing and zesty! 🍚 Sticky Rice – Perfectly soft and fragrant! These dishes totally deserve their reputation as house specialties—so delicious it makes you want to twirl with joy! 🌸🎉 Also tried the Salted Cod Fried Rice and Shaky Beef—both are signature items, but I found them just okay. You can probably skip them. The Pho and curry were decent but not must-haves—order if you’re curious! But their Vietnamese coffee was absolutely amazing! ☕ Not overly sweet like the usual versions—I really loved it! Best part? It’s affordable, and the vibe is great. Perfect for a first date—good food, good drinks, and easy on the wallet! 😂💸 The only downside: Even though we ordered enough to feed a wedding party, the waitress kept saying we didn’t order that much. Looks like she made a nice tip from our table that day! 🤷♀️💵 Have you been to Little Sister? What’s your favorite Vietnamese dish in OC?
