NORTH HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — A booth inside Little Toni’s restaurant has become an unexpected tourist attraction after appearing in a key scene from the new film “Obsession,” drawing crowds of fans eager to snap photos where the moment was filmed.
The movie’s now-famous booth scene has spread widely on social media, sending moviegoers to the longtime North Hollywood eatery in search of the exact spot. Kenneth Nguyen of Arleta said he recognized the booth immediately.
“It was that famous scene where the girl in the movie goes, ‘No, no, no!'” he said.
Ana Abad of Norwalk said the moment’s popularity online helped fuel the rush.
“It’s like an iconic shot in the movie, and it kind of blew up everywhere,” she said.
Little Toni’s staff said the attention has translated into a surge of customers, many of whom arrive with cameras in hand. Some visitors say they came specifically to recreate the viral shot.
“I thought it would be cool to see it in person,” said Cooper Harris Jacobsen.
Monte Bradford of Cypress said the visit was part of a date outing.
“It’s definitely going on my Instagram,” he said.
Others made the trip on a whim. “I just came up and was like, ‘Yo, should we go check it out?’ And he’s like, ‘Yeah, why not?'” said Joaquin Martinez of Northridge.
Though “Obsession” is a love story, the film leans heavily into unsettling moments that have resonated with audiences. Still, fans aren’t just showing up for photos; many are ordering meals so they can sit in the booth themselves.
“Everyone just stared at us, like ,’Wow, you got the spot!” Nguyen said.
Bradford said the booth felt fitting for a couple’s outing. “We just thought it would be a fun thing to see as a couple, seeing as the movie is about a couple that’s crazy,” he said.
For some, the experience was eerie.
“I kind of felt like she was behind me,” said Alleh Zadourian of La Crescenta.
