Sign in to reviewAmazing service and even better food! Every dish we tried was flavorful and memorable. If we had to find one small flaw, the pho broth could be a bit less salty, but everything else was spot on. The pork chop was a huge surprise. It served last when we were nearly full, yet we still devoured it in minutes. Definitely don’t miss the pork chop!
So our daughter found this awesome little gem the LSXO Restaurant and she took us out for one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. We started out by ordering cocktails. Unfortunately I don’t remember the name of the drinks except for the Lychee Martini of course . Lol then we ordered the food. We ordered the pork chop, which was phenomenal and the dumplings too, and OMG this was the best dining experience I’ve ever had. The dumplings were so light and the sauce and broth definitely made this dish amazing! We also had the shaking beef and I have to say Nathan (the chef) really knows how to cook!! Thank you Nathan for one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! We will definitely be back for more.
It is my 3rd time here. Everything is perfect as usual. Came during the sun and had a good golden hour and sunset moment. The garlic hot sauce is my favorite at all time. I put it on every dishes. Appetizers Dumplings: 10/10 Spring Rolls : 8/10 Main course Shaky shaky beef : 12/10 so tender and great flavor Seabass with veggie : 8/10 good but nothing special Dessert Raspberry sorbet Ps. They asked when we called for reservation if we come for any occasion so we said birthday. And when we arrived, the host also asked if there was any celebration and we said birthday. But at the end of the meal, we didn’t get the candle? No biggie but why asked twice kinda weird. We ordered dessert and drinks anyway.
A hidden Michelin guide restaurant located in the Pacific City mall complex inside the Bluegold New American restaurant. I’m not sure if it’s a shared kitchen but the food is completely different and Vietnamese centric compared to the seafood and American cuisine of the main restaurant. It’s a cozy space, almost like a library, with ceiling to floor windows and views of the ocean. Portions are generous and our server said we may have ordered too many items but there are many interesting combinations on the menu. For appetizers, we loved them all and could easily stay in this area of the menu. The dumplings, bone marrow and tartare were all excellent. For the main items we opted for the short rib which was flavorful but overcooked and dry. The garlic noodles were good as a paired starch but more dense and heavy than the lighter garlic noodles I gave more often. Overall, it was a great meal. Probably should have ordered the shaking beef instead of the short rib but we’ll remember next time. Credit cards are accepted and all dining is indoor only. Reservations recommended as it’s a limited seating dining space.
Its inside bluegold restratnss and 2nd floor, took us awhile to find Not much seats only like around 4 tables so better reservation got lucky to sit on bar area Didnt try the famous dice beef But like all the dish we ordered The brisket rice roll is good The seafood soup is good too and it comes with liver bread so good Paella so much and with fried pork skin and okura The ribs is really good too but more on sweet side my friend dont like it Dumpling soup good too A lot of food is like mild so be aware
