Little Secret began as a pop-up before settling into a permanent home in West Greenville, where it's become one of the neighborhood's livelier bar hangs. The room shifts through the evening as groups, dates, and friends cycle in, most everyone holding a drink — the pineapple daiquiri and the tamarind soda both have followings.
The kitchen runs Southeast Asian ingredients through a Southern supper menu with an anything-goes streak: red curry bolognese topped with crushed Ruffles, pickled shrimp on firecracker Saltines, beef tartare with nuoc cham egg yolk. The mushroom dumplings have their own following, and the onion dip — dairy-free, unexpectedly zingy — is a standout among the snacks.
Service runs warm and personal, and the place has built a reputation as an off-the-beaten-path spot that draws repeat customers back for the same dishes.
