I understand that mistakes can happen, but if it's hard to remember everything, it would really help to write things down. The food is consistently good, so I hope the service can improve to match.

We originally were hoping for 7 or 7:30, but based on how busy and popular this place is I can see why they said no. Come early and get seated right away and there's still ample parking in their parking lot. By the time we left at 7:30p, the lot was packed and people circling around hoping to snag a spot from folks leaving. The restaurant is pretty large and has about 3 rooms with different size tables and booths. No matter the size of your party, there's a table that will accommodate. The staff were very nice and attentive and FAST! We had our food out probably 15 min after we put in our order! Now...on to the food. We ordered one of the set menus for our party of 7 and it was spot on! As you can see in the pictures we had all the "classics". Our set meal could easily be enjoyed by at least 10 people. We had so many leftovers! The food was all well prepared and sufficiently seasoned. Portions of each dish was plentiful and everyone will be able to get enough to satisfy. My favorite items: lobster (duh!), kung pao chicken, pork chops, and shaking beef. The seafood soup is a great starter, and don't forget to add a little vinegar and pepper! Great restaurant in the SGV. This location is much bigger than their Rowland Heights restaurant, but the food is exactly the same. This is a great alternative to the popular Newport Seafood, so don't sleep on this place!

Came at 530 pm on a tuesday, and there wasen't anyone here yet. Afterwards it filled up quickly!! The main thing I dont like about this place is they dont have the prices on what your ordering. Which I'll get too at the end. Like any other Chinese restaurant, their menu is super extensive. I love how they have a little bit of everything. And its very well organized too. We ordered the following: 1. Crab and fish maw soup- this soup was amazing. It was just the right temp. Got me sweating. Can easily feed 12 people. Great amount of maw. The consistency is just right. Tasted so good!! 2. Small lobster special- on a bed of noodles. It was about 5 lbs. Cooked well. Could do without. Basically flavors. And it was expensive!! About $30 a lb. So this one dish cost basically the same amount as all the other dishes. Which was just too much. If I knew it was that much I would definitely not have ordered it. 3. Walnut shrimp- not the best walnut shrimp I've had. But it was ok. 4. Garlic shrimp- this shrimp dish was ok. Too many bell peppers and onions. It was just ok. 5. Mongolian beef- flavors were not that great. Very tender though. Could've been better. 6. Sea trout- this was amazing!! I love the sauce. Fish was so soft and tender. The heat, the spice, the sweetness. Some of that sauce in white rice was just perfection. It was really really good. Best dish of what we ordered. 7. Kung pao chicken- this was a really good dish. Crispy bits of chicken. But so soft and tender inside. I love the sauce that it was in. It was by far one of the highlights of the meal. It was good food. Price for everything (except the lobster) was pretty good. Food tasted amazing for the most part. Typical Chinese customer service. Pay at the front. Massively large portions. Solid authentic Chinese food.

Won't allow to change some food on banquet menu, just had to add another dish. Food came out fast & with big plates, hardly any space on table, waiter just left it on top of 2 serving trays.

The beef loc lac was tough, deep fried fish sauce tasted weird with their sweet sour sauce, pea sprouts which I was trying to change to another dish but couldn't, sure enough was so fibrous & chewy. The special fried rice was so full of all different kinds of meat that it was like a meal in itself. With 10 different dishes it would have been better to serve plain white rice. Felt service could been better for 18% service already added on bill. Tea was even charged.

Starleaf, a newly opened Thai-fusion restaurant in Pasadena, offers an intriguing blend of Asian and French-inspired decor, immersing diners in a 1930s-style ambiance that is both elegant and inviting. The aesthetic alone sets the stage for a potentially exceptional dining experience, but unfortunately, the food and service fall just short of delivering on that promise. Overall, I'd rate the experience at 3.5 stars (rounded up on Yelp). The evening began on a positive note, with the Bakka Wild Salmon with Thai Vinaigrette standing out as a fresh and well-executed starter. The vibrant Thai Vinaigrette, paired with mint, provided a refreshing and delicate balance to the salmon--a thoughtful and creative take that set high expectations for what was to follow. However, the mains--Thai Royal Curry (w/ Lobster) and a Pan-Seared Steak Fillet (substitute for Japanese Wagyu A5 Fillet as it was unavailable at the time) --revealed inconsistencies that left much to be desired. The Royal Curry, while creamy and flavorful, lacked the depth and spice one expects from a Thai curry. The flavors, though present, didn't evolve beyond the initial creamy note, leaving the dish feeling one-dimensional. The lobster itself was slightly overcooked, detracting further from what could have been a standout dish. The Pan-Seared Steak Fillet, regrettably, was even more underwhelming. Accompanied by a pleasant salsa verde sauce, the steak itself felt like a lower-quality cut, with an oily aftertaste that clashed with the otherwise well-prepared sauce. The absence of the A5 Wagyu fillet option, which was unavailable, made it clear that the replacement did not live up to expectations, leaving a gap between price and quality. Service was friendly, and the timing of courses was well-paced, but the overall experience was hindered by a lack of attention to detail. The hosts at the front desk lacked warmth, and small but significant oversights--such as serving room temperature water throughout the meal--detracted from what could have been a more polished experience. Notably, the lack of acknowledgment for a birthday celebration, especially at this price point, felt like a missed opportunity. A simple gesture, such as a complimentary dessert, could have elevated the evening and added a personal touch. In its current state, Starleaf's pricing feels ambitious for the quality of the dishes served. While the ambiance and decor show promise, the menu would benefit from added quality and refinement in execution. With a few key adjustments, particularly in flavor depth and ingredient quality, Starleaf has the potential to become a notable dining destination. For now, it remains a restaurant with room for growth in both its culinary offerings and overall guest experience. read more

Ambiance StarLeaf is located in downtown Pasadena and has been open for almost a month. Upon entering, you'll experience an ambiance reminiscent of Southeast Asia. ---------------- Service The service is exceptional from start to finish, especially with the gesture of offering mint-infused water on a moistened tissue before meals. This allows patrons to freshen up their hands before dining. Throughout the restaurant, the meals are imbued with Southeast Asian flavors from Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, and more. Each dish is plated meticulously, and I genuinely find them all delicious! ---------------- Foods Thai Ice Tea Let's take a seat and order four cups of Thai milk tea immediately. Each cup comes with a scoop of ice cream on top. And it's not overly sweet, it's truly delicious. Night-Market: Shichimi Tofu Fried Tofu This fried tofu is seasoned with seven Japanese spices and served with homemade sweet and sour sauce. In addition, there are slices of avocado and watermelon served alongside. Combining all the elements makes it even more delicious. We all agree that this fried tofu is the most delicious dish. Siam Beach-Club Egg Rolls Fried spring rolls wrapped in banana leaves are accompanied by a flavorful sweet and sour sauce made with prawns and mangoes. Spicy "Tom Yum" Soup "Tom" refers to boiling, "Yum" resembles tossing a salad, and "Gong" signifies shrimp. This soup is a traditional secret recipe passed down from the Dongyin Gong lineage. Thai spices are added to a pot to create the soup base. Fresh prawns are then added in. The entire dish is brought to our table for cooking on the spot. The soup has a robust and flavorful taste. Malay Captain Curry Chicken A secret curry sauce infused with a variety of exotic spices and fragrant coconut milk is served alongside French bread. It offers a delightful balance of subtle spiciness and sweetness. Royal Crown Fried-Rice The fried rice is generously garnished with large, plump dried shellfish and topped with a thick layer of tiny fish eggs. Mixing it evenly with the rice makes for a truly delicious experience. read more

I came by with my boyfriend and in laws the other day for Dine LA. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance of the place stood out. The design and decor were thoughtfully done, with a great balance of modern and elegant touches. The color palette gave the space an upscale, polished look without feeling stuffy or overly formal. The lighting was dim enough to create a cozy, intimate vibe, but still bright enough to comfortably see everything around us! When it came to the food, our experience was a mix of highs and lows. We started with a few appetizers, which were absolutely delicious and left us excited for the rest of the meal. The salads were great too and very refreshing. Unfortunately, some of the main dishes didn't quite meet the same standard. The curry, in particular, lacked depth and seasoning. It felt like it was missing that bold, rich flavor you typically expect. The mango sticky rice was another letdown. While the mango itself was fresh and sweet, the sticky rice was bland and lacked the usual sweetness that ties the whole dessert together. It tasted more like plain rice than a dessert, which was disappointing. That said, the service really helped elevate the overall experience. The staff were friendly, attentive, and very helpful throughout our visit. They checked in at just the right times and were happy to answer questions or make suggestions. On top of that, the food came out incredibly fast, which was a pleasant surprise given how busy the place was. One area that definitely needs improvement is the restroom situation. During our visit, two of the toilets were clogged, and there was no toilet paper in any of the stalls. It seemed like that area hadn't been checked or maintained in a while, which was unfortunate and took away from the otherwise polished feel of the restaurant. Overall, it was a good experience with beautiful ambiance, excellent service, and a few standout dishes. With some attention to consistency in the food and better restroom maintenance, it could easily become a favorite spot. read more

3 months ago I had the pleasure of dining at the new upcoming restaurant in Pasadena called StarLeaf, courtesy of my close friend who happens to be the owner. Although it may not be open to the public just yet, I was fortunate enough to experience the culinary delights and ambiance of this remarkable establishment. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the owner himself, who personally curated a delectable selection of dishes for our table. While I can't recall the exact details of what was ordered, I can confidently say that everything we tasted was nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish was prepared with impeccable attention to detail, showcasing the chef's culinary expertise and creativity. One particular highlight of the evening was when the owner surprised us with a Wagyu steak, which was not even on the menu. The melt-in-your-mouth tenderness and rich flavor of the steak left us in awe. It was a true testament to the owner's dedication to providing an exceptional dining experience. As we indulged in the exquisite cuisine, the owner graciously took us on a tour of the restaurant. He proudly shared that he invested a staggering 2 million dollars in the interior alone, and it was evident in every aspect of the restaurant's design. The elegant decor, stylish furnishings, and attention to detail created an ambiance that was both sophisticated and inviting. I left StarLeaf with a sense of anticipation for its grand opening. The experience was truly unforgettable, and I am eagerly awaiting the opportunity to return as soon as it officially opens its doors to the public. I have no doubt that StarLeaf will become a cherished gem in the Pasadena dining scene, offering exceptional cuisine and an ambiance that will transport guests to a world of culinary delight. read more

My recent dining experience at Star Leaf was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for the evening. Let's talk about the food--each dish was a masterpiece in its own right. The Royal Fried Rice was a delightful blend of flavors and textures, with each bite offering a tantalizing combination of savory and fragrant elements. The Salmon Sashimi was impeccably fresh, expertly sliced, and practically melted in my mouth, a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality seafood.The Sea Bass was cooked to perfection, its delicate flesh infused with lemongrass spices that elevated its natural flavors to new heights. And the Short Rib--oh, the Short Rib--was an absolute triumph. Tender, succulent, and bursting with rich flavor with the green curry, it was a true standout dish that left me craving more. But it wasn't just the food that impressed me; the service was equally outstanding. Lee and Wichita, were our attentive servers and they went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our dining experience was flawless. Their knowledge of the menu, coupled with their warm demeanor and impeccable timing, truly elevated the evening. As for the ambiance, Star Leaf strikes the perfect balance between chic sophistication and inviting comfort. The elegant decor, accented by subtle Asian-inspired touches, creates an atmosphere that is both stylish and welcoming, making it the ideal setting for a memorable dining experience. In conclusion, my visit was nothing short of extraordinary. From the exquisite cuisine to the impeccable service, every aspect of the evening exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to return and indulge in another culinary journey fit for royalty. read more

Star Leaf restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way, starting with their Ume Old Fashioned whiskey. Served in a glass bell jar filled with smoke and rose petals underneath, the presentation alone set the tone for a unique experience. The whiskey itself was refreshing, and the addition of a dried plum to bite after the first sip was genius--transforming the flavor into something even more robust and complex with each sip. Next, the shrimp egg rolls were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The garlic chili dip that came with them was addictive; I couldn't get enough. Their royal crown fried rice was, without exaggeration, the best fried rice I've ever had. It came topped with roe, which our server mixed in for us, creating an explosion of flavor in every bite. I found myself entirely focused on this dish, and it stole the show. Though I didn't pay much attention to the chicken curry at the time, when I reheated it for breakfast the next day, it took me right back to the restaurant experience. The curry had a delightful balance of spice and sweetness, and the chicken was still juicy after a night in the fridge--truly a testament to the quality of the dish. We ended our meal with the Pink Mekong, a refreshing dessert made of ice cream and fruits, topped with a light coconut and red dragon fruit cream. It wasn't too sweet but packed with flavor, the perfect way to end the night. What made the experience even better was the service. We stayed for nearly three hours, and not once did our server rush us or make us feel pressured to leave. It's safe to say Star Leaf is now an instant favorite, and I'll definitely be returning soon! read more

Embarking on a brunch adventure at Star Leaf was a true delight! The inviting atmosphere set the stage for a memorable experience from the moment we stepped inside. Our culinary journey began with the iconic Kamata Club Blues cocktail, a refreshing start to our morning indulgence. The Summer Spring Rolls and Siam Beach Club Egg Roll were the perfect brunch starters, each bite bursting with vibrant flavors. We ordered the Royal Crown Fried Rice topped with fish roe first, and it was a heavenly delight! This regal dish features perfectly seasoned fried rice crowned with delicate fish roe bursts, offering a symphony of flavors fit for royalty that will leave you craving more. The Royal Lobster Curry was another highlight of our brunch experience, featuring lobster meat immersed in a rich and aromatic curry sauce that was simply divine. Paired with fragrant jasmine rice, this dish was a delight for seafood enthusiasts. As we wrapped up our brunch adventure, the Pink Mekong dessert stole the show with its captivating presentation and exquisite taste. The sticky rice added a delightful touch to the dish, leaving us with a sweet and satisfying ending to our meal. Star Leaf's brunch experience offers a unique journey through Southeast Asian flavors, expertly curated and sure to impress even the most discerning brunch enthusiasts. It is a culinary escapade that will linger in your memory long after the last bite.

Stepping into Star Leaf was like entering a world where every detail mattered. From the moment we arrived, the attentive service made us feel like honored guests. The décor, with its captivating beauty and intriguing backstory (which I highly recommend asking your waiter about), added an extra layer of charm to the dining experience. Our culinary journey began with the Tropical Mango Fish starter, a crispy delight with a tender, buttery interior that left us craving more. The mango sauce provided just the right amount of heat, teasing our taste buds for what was to come. As for the mains, both the 12-hour Braised Angus Short Rib and Lime Steamed Chilean Sea Bass were culinary masterpieces. The short rib was melt-in-your-mouth perfection, while the sea bass danced with vibrant citrus flavors, leaving us utterly satisfied. And dessert? The Slow-Drip Vietnam Coffee Flan was the perfect finale, boasting a custard consistency that was nothing short of perfection. Throughout the evening, Evan, our server, provided impeccable service, anticipating our needs before we even knew them ourselves. While Star Leaf may be on the pricier side, every penny is justified by the exceptional quality of the food, service, and ambiance. I'm already counting down the days until my next visit, where I plan to indulge in the tantalizing offerings of the table-side Spicy "Tom Yum" Soup, Pineapple Fried Rice, and Thai Royal Curry. For a dining experience that combines exquisite flavors with unparalleled hospitality, look no further than Star Leaf. You won't be disappointed! read more
