   We love this place. There's really nothing better overall...the food is to die for and the service is fabulous. We must have been here like 20 times and will definitely be back. However I'm not sure what happened here in the last 6 months. It used to have such a great vibe - the 80s gangster rap was a brilliant fusion with classic Asian. Unfortunately a few whiny people, the minority as always, wrecked the experience - despite the clear notification that there would be language in the music played. Wish the whiners would just stay at home and not wreck it for the rest of us. Apart from that, do yourself a favor and go treat yourself to some amazing food. Get the sticky rice to start with. You'll love it!

   Excellent food, prompt and friendly service, beautiful setting. We don’t go here as often as we should but when we have out of town guests, this is one of our go to places. Among our favorites: escargots/bone marrow/paté, papaya salad, crispy shrimps. Get an order of white rice - whatever their recipe is, it’s delicious (I suspect they add a little bit of beurre bretel!).

   I reserved the table along the window but got a small table at the door, not enough space for the food ordered. Service was very slow.

   Our experience here is always outstanding. We came for brunch today. The menu is incredible. We chose one from each category. Service is always great. Drinks are always unique. We actually like brunch better than dinner. The view is wonderful. One of our favorite “secret “ places

   Great service. Delicious food. Next time we’ll ask about heat level before we order.

   Food was very good but not as memorable as I had hoped. Particularly good was the eggplant, followed by the salmon crudo. Chairs were somehow somewhat uncomfortable and the table next to us said theirs were broken. Service very friendly but they had to be reminded to bring one or two of the food items and had to ask for more water a couple times. Nice views. Would go again. But raising their game would be super too.

   Loved the experience. Definitely will return. Food was very very tasty. I'd give food 4.5 stars if possible but because the shaky shaky beef was not as tender as everyone raved about, I gave 4 stars. Cocktails and papaya salad were superb.

   Anthony & Jasmine were amazing as always. I have a sensitivity to egg white but I loooove cocktails with egg white. I found an egg white foam replacement (not aquafaba!) and they made my cocktails with it. It tasted great & they were so kind to do that for me.

   It was our first time at LSXO and we had a great time. Small speakeasy with about 6 tables. Our waitress Jasmine was wonderful and gave us excellent recommendations. The Shaky Shaky Beef was our favorite, very tender and the sauce was delicious. Definitely worth the wait to get a reservation. We will be back!

    Disappointed on My Birthday LSXO has always been a favorite, so I chose it for my birthday with friends, including a neighbor in executive restaurant management one of his concepts being a Michelin Star rated restaurant. I’ve talked up LSXO’s vibe, food, and Michelin-level quality, but sadly, this visit fell short. The night started with a rude greeting about needing a reservation (which we had) and the hostess disappearing into the kitchen. Drinks were left empty, food timing was off, and the freezing 62°F dining room made it uncomfortable for the women in our group. I had to get up twice—once to adjust the thermostat and again to request service. While the food was great, service matters just as much, and LSXO didn’t deliver the experience I’ve come to expect. Please don’t let this gem lose its shine over service lapses. It’s the little details that make an extraordinary night. The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little “extra.” LSXO let’s not be another’s ordinary restaurant in HB let’s stay extraordinary!
