We love the Indian place a few doors away so when this came up on a Yelp search I figured I would drive over from Lake of the Woods/Jacaranda West area and pick it up. By the time I made the trip I did not expect the food to be kitchen hot and fresh: my review is not about that. I suspect to make things even more challenging, they told me it would be ready in 35 to 45 minutes.....and I was there in 30. I think it had been sitting already for a bit...the place was FULL with people waiting. There were 4 drivers in queue for Door Dash and Uber Eats I suspect. We got the Chicken Satay as a common item, which my wife really enjoyed, the chicken was tender and properly cooked. Sauce and seasoning very nice. 8/10 We got the white rice. i am NOT a fan of white or basmati rice or any white rice for that matter, even brown is suspect with arsenic and chemicals and processing and packaging issue. But I would have gone for brown but that seems to be NOT an option here???? My wife selected the Spicey Basil Shrimp which was also nicely prepared and a healthy variety of vegetables lightly cooked and seasoned, a very nice job. The shrimp seemed a good product and not too scary (smile). She could not finish it and is taking it to work/school tomorrow. 8/10 My daughter rolled with the House Fried Rice with double egg but no meat/chicken. She really enjoyed this and this is here "test" entree. So simple and yet when its poor......you really know it!! Hats off this gets a 9/10 I got the Garden Vegetable Fried Tofu. This has a nice wide array of vegetables nicely firm but amply cooked. The sauce was also very nice. The tofu was cubed and fried on all sides but perfectly done and not greasy and oil charred blocks or rubber. Good tofu product!! I really enjoyed this! I will order this ON SITE when we dine in just to see how much better it will be kitchen to table fresh and hot!! 10/10 So for take out, this was pretty good. 10x better i am sure freshly served and not sitting on a shelf and in a plastic bag.... then driven 20 more minutes to the house..... great job Star Thai & Sushi. Till we meet again to dine in..... Good job!

Good selection of regular sushi and specialty rolls. We got a sashimi roll and bushido roll. Both fresh and filling. Nothing was too special to write home about but I would recommend it for their clean, quick, casual vibe, and good service.

Watching the waves while enjoying great food made for an unforgettable afternoon. The entire experience was so memorable that we've already started planning a family vacation!

I couldn't decide if that was a good thing or not, but it was nice not having to wait long. The food itself was good and the portions are pretty big, so come hungry or plan to share. My only wish is that the fish and chips and the fried shrimp were a little crispier. FYI, they don't take Apple Pay, so make sure to bring a card or cash!

Laney was so upbeat, friendly, and ridiculously cheerful that I'm honestly convinced she runs on patriotism and daiquiris. She was decked out head-to-toe for the Fourth of July, looking like Lady Liberty had decided to pick up a serving shift. Every time she came to our table, she somehow made the entire place feel more fun. She was quick, attentive, hilarious, and somehow managed to keep everyone's drinks full before we even realized they were empty. If there's actually a contest for the best reviews, just go ahead and hand Laney the trophy now. Cancel the competition. It's over. The food was great, the drinks were cold, but Laney was the reason we'll remember this visit. Give that girl a raise, a parade, and at the very least an unlimited supply of red, white, and blue confetti. We'll absolutely be back... partly for the daiquiris, but mostly because we hope Laney is working.

We were greeted by the manager, Mary, who immediately made us feel welcome. She was incredibly friendly, personable, and genuinely seemed to care that we had a great visit. Our server, Chris, was outstanding! He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to recommend a few drinks based on what we liked. Every recommendation was absolutely spot on--we loved every single one. He also suggested a few menu items, and all we can say is WOW! The food was fresh, flavorful, and honestly some of the best we've had. What really stood out was the attention to detail and the hospitality. While we were enjoying our meal, Mary stopped by again to make sure everything was perfect. That extra level of care made us feel like valued guests instead of just another table. We've visited several other locations, but this one truly sets the standard. The atmosphere, the exceptional service from Mary and Chris, the amazing food, and the incredible drinks made this one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. Unfortunately, we were so busy enjoying ourselves that we forgot to take pictures, but trust us when we say everything--from the drinks to the food to the service--was absolutely AMAZING. A huge thank you to Mary, Chris, and the entire team for making our visit so memorable. We can't wait to come back, and we'll definitely be recommending this location to our family and friends!

First of all I have been going to the Pelican Alley each season for the past 8 years…read more Have always loved their food, especially their world famous Sea Food Chowder. The best anywhere so I find it very hard to give this review but I have to say what I feel. We were there on Tuesday, 04/14/26, at 6:00pm with a group of 4. Two of us had their Mahi special and found it to be fantastic (I agree) and one had their fish and chips which were also great.. I had the Back Alley Bake Gouper and I have to say it was a disaster. First the grouper was so over cooked I could only eat a out half of the portion. The shrimp on top were cooked to the point that they were crunchy and the crab meat was actually cold. No idea how that did that. The asparagus was cooked to the point that is all shriveled up. The baked potato was really good. When I told my wife about my meal she said that I should have sent it back but since the rest of our party were already enjoying their meal they would have been done by the time I received my selection. I will go back because I love their chowder but I think I will stick to their fish and chips in the future. I don't know if the management ever reads their reviews, I hope so, and maybe they can watch how they make this dish.
