Little La Lune

La Lune was a classic banquet hall in Cambodia Town, and, after a fire caused it to shut down back in 2014, it reopened as Little La Lune—a sit-down spot in a small strip mall on PCH. The legacy of the former La Lune lives on here, where big groups share platters of tender beef lok lak, slurp bowls of phnom penh noodles, and gnaw on skewers of charred beef. With its huge lantern-like pendant lights and deep red walls, the space works especially well for a celebratory meal. Just keep in mind that it closes at 5pm every day, so that probably means a celebratory lunch is in order.
