    Korean Tacos, Pork Dumplings
    Tim C.

    I came here on Saturday, 03/14, solely to see visiting Chef Lenny Desmarais. He's an amazing chef from Arizona that I've known for a long time. Manager Joe greeted us and informed us that although they had tables of 2 empty, they were reserved already for dinner. It was around 3:30pm, so I did not make any reservations. It made sense when Joe explained it was the last day of OC Restaurant Week. Fortunately got the last seats at the bar, and was immediately helped by Paige. She was incredibly friendly and always made sure we had everything we wanted. She recommended the Korean Tacos (picture attached) and they were amazing ! Really enjoyed the ratio of meat & pickled cabbage. Chef Lenny Desmarais recommended the Black Pepper Cambodian Beef (picture attached), and it was my favorite dish of the day. It may be new as it's not coming up on the Yelp menu when tagging the picture. The seasoning was perfect without being overly peppered, and the meat was tender and easy to eat. The Pork Dumplings were simple, in a good way. The dough was a great thickness giving a nice chewy texture. The Candy Dragon Prawns were really good too. Think Honey Walnut Shrimp combined with giant prawns instead, and the sauce was lighter and didn't feel heavy at all like other mayo-based ones commonly used in Honey Walnut Shrimp. Lastly, the meal was topped off with a Chocolate Cake with slices of Strawberry, was a nice timeless finish. Perla, another server, always made sure we never had to ask for refills or napkins and was super kind too. She was so thoughtful to also help box up my leftovers. Parking was easy even on a perfect mid-70's, beautiful Saturday afternoon. The restaurant is a little crowded space wise, as the tables are close together and the walkways are tight. Personally I don't consider this a negative, it is what it is. I had to move out of my chair a few times for people to get by. However, the intimate nature of the seating lead to a lot of great conversation with other restaurant guests, which reminds me of the organic nature of meeting new people. I look forward to returning.

    Excellent service, loved the happy hour calamari and pork rice paper rolls. Shout out to the lovely hostesses!!

    Mongolian Beef
    Gabe D.

    Hip hip hooray starfish all day. My favorite Asian fusion restaurant. I always start with some sushi rolls then finish off with the stars chicken and a beef dish. The eggplant was good too. You really can't go wrong with anything here. The servers treat you like family and you can tell they take pride in their job. Always clean and good vibes there.

    Glad we made a reservation! Friday night was busy, but they accommodated us well with seating away from the open doors. It's a small, cozy place, but you can still enjoy your company. We went for my wife's birthday, and definitely recommend splurging on apps, and sharing it all! Fun drink menu, good shareables, kind service with great recommendations/insights. DON'T skip dessert! We will definitely be back for more special occasions.

    This was our new spot to check out for our Friday lunch date so we set a reservation for noon. We got sat immediately but I will say service was a bit slow and no one came to our table for 15 minutes to even say that someone would be by shortly. When our server came over, we were ready to order with the spicy basil beef, sunset roll and the crab mango noodle salad. The roll came out first and I think I'd give it a solid 4 star. While the flavor was good, the sushi on top didn't taste as fresh and had a bit of a warm temp that threw me off a little. The crab mango noodle salad was refreshing and a huge portion which we appreciated but our favorite dish was definitely the basil beef. The beef was well fried and had a nice bouncy texture which was then coated with flavorful sauce. I did enjoy the ambiance but not sure if it'd make high on my list of favorites.

    Peking Duck
    Stanley R.

    We were craving Peking Duck this evening. I had been wanting to try Starfish for years so we merged the two desires and made plans to get the tail end of "Happy Hour". The reviews on Yelp looked very good and let me assure you we were delighted with the experience! The service was friendly and efficient. The menu is large and exciting, with many Asian fusion options. We ordered the small Plate Peking Duck which comes with three healthy appetizer portions. The buns were toasted but soft the duck was creamy and nestled tasty greens with a wonderful plum sauce. The shrimp tempura roll was excellent, and the Saigon Summer roll was fresh and delicious. There are many custom cocktail Options, and the happy hour prices were really fair. The ambiance is very happy and chill. Kind of hip but comfy! We enjoyed our evening very much. I think you will too!

    Lychee Martini
    Sunday B.

    From the moment we walked in, we felt welcome! (We stopped in on a whim and weren't dressed for an evening out..so we were a tad apprehensive) The vibe is so comfortable--unlike a lot of places in Newport Beach. It isn't pretentious at all; it's just warm, inviting, and genuinely friendly. (I've been to their Laguna beach location and also felt super welcomed) The food is fusion with a beautiful presentation. We had the lobster macadamia roll, soft shell crab sliders, wok fire mussels and a lychee martini. All so unique-I feel like sushi gets monotonous..but not here!! The lobster macadamia roll was a tad spicy- but ohh Soo good and fresh. The muscles were a comfort with the coconut soup-so satisfying. Loved the sliders-was a fun take on a bahn mi style sandwich. And the lychee martini is the best in town-wow!! ALL the staff truly made us feel welcomed and we really enjoyed our night!

    Love this place!!!! Located conveniently on PCH with a very welcoming and beautiful atmosphere. Perla P. from the very beginning was very friendly, inviting & provided the ABSOLUTE best service!!! My girls and I ordered a drink with a side of calamari and a sushi roll and it was pretty good! The strawberry lychee martini was also bomb! Perla is the best, her recommendations were perfect and on point!

    Kylie is amazing!! We came for a quick drink and ended up staying a while and getting food because she was so amazing and attentive. So positive and kind!! I also left my designer sunglasses there and she grabbed them and held them for me to come pick up a couple of days later

    Korean Tacos
    Mohammad H.

    We came in for happy hour. We came in with the anticipation of the best happy hour in the area! Which I think is true, all of this cost $93 minus tax and tip. The selections were a lot for that specific menu. We got two sushi rolls which were amazing. One was a shrimp tempura roll and the other was a sunset roll. Highly recommend, both were great and would order it again. We also had the star nigiri and we ordered salmon and ahi tuna. However, we received hamachi and ahi tuna by accident our favorite was the hamachi! The chicken wontons we got pan fried and was not our favorite, it was a very dry interior if you cut up the wontons and dip it in the sauce it makes it taste better. Korean tacos were good and flavorful with lots of slaw. We will be back next time for main entrees and more sushi/apps.

    Island Geisha
    Kelsey M.

    After having tried Starfish in Laguna Beach and having such a great experience, my husband and I decided to try out the Newport Beach location. After tasting several different rolls and drinks we now know that both locations are fantastic! We shared the Asia De Philly, Lobster Macadamia Roll, Sunset Roll, and Spicy Ahi Tuna Roll. As expected, all of the rolls were incredible. My favorite 2 are the Asia De Philly and Spicy Ahi Tuna Roll. We tried the Long Life Margarita, Cafe Havana, Island Geisha and Butterfly Samba. My favorite drink I tried was the Long Life Margarita, it was extremely refreshing and a perfect touch to dinner. Just as the Laguna Beach location we had an excellent waitress!! Starfish remains an undefeated champion. 10/10

    遇見是很美的詞, 所有的相遇都是生命的一部分, 因為遇見, 生命才能多姿多采, 對所有遇見的人事物,心懷感恩, 懂得珍惜,自然能接收到更多的善意與溫暖~ 兩個迷糊的大媽,師姐跟我說OC 有像dine LA 一樣的OC restaurant week , 上個禮拜約好了要來探店,結果早來了一個禮拜, 人家這個禮拜才開始, 不過我師姐找的餐廳,環境不管市內,戶外都美, 跟她認識那麼多年, 她找的地方從未讓我失望過,這家有幾家分店, 我們來的是 Newport 這家, Asian Fusion, 改良過的東方菜,三道都不油膩,比ph Chang 好吃那是一定的, 這家也有很多不同的調酒,這個禮拜就是 OC restaurant week, 有很多餐廳有便宜的特價,有興趣的自己上網看看

    Kung Pao Prawns
    andrea s.

    Tasty food, cute ambiance, and great service! We pooped in for lunch today and were greeted by Chandler who explained the menu and eagerly took our order. To start we enjoyed the Lychee martini and the rose froze. Both were tasty. For starters we loved the green beans. They had a great flavor and were cooked perfectly. We also had the spicy tuna roll which was good- the spice was a bit over the top and had our tongues burning for a bit longer than we anticipated. We also had the Korean tacos which had a nice flavor and were loaded with meat and cabbage. No skimping here!! We also had the cucumber salad which had a very strong fish flavor- we didn't love it but I'm sure many will! For our entrees we enjoyed the Mongolian beef, and the kung pao shrimp. We enjoyed the Mongolian beef but didn't love the shrimp. Overall the service was good, the food tasty, and the ambiance nice. We would come back to try more.

    I really enjoyed our date night at this sushi restaurant! Overall I felt like the sushi was…read morehigh-quality and had a lot of unique flavors that kept things fresh and exciting. You won't find your typical rainbow rolls at this restaurant (I do love a good rainbow roll though). The rolls we ordered were the Snowflake (which was flavored with yuzu), the Lobster roll (which was so much more than a typical baked lobster/langostino roll), and the Are You Kidding Me roll, which was big on truffle flavor and came topped with fried onions. I thoroughly enjoyed the Snowflake roll. It had multiple types of fish inside, and the yuzu flavor added the perfect fresh citrusy touch. It also came dotted with a tiny bit of sriracha (or some other spice) but it was just a hint and it's easy to wipe off if you don't want any spice. The Lobster roll was the star of the show. I give it a 10/10 for presentation, and it was also the best tasting one in my opinion. It was plated with a shelled lobster tail, which looks visually pleasing, but the most impressive part was right before serving, the waitress lit it on fire and handed it to us, as if it were flaming creme brulee or something. The flame actually wasn't on the roll itself, but was on what appeared to be a trail of salt (presumably soaked in some kind of alcohol to make it burn). It definitely was a cool effect and I've never seen anything like it in a sushi restaurant! Lastly, the Are You Kidding Me roll - this was my third favorite out of the three we ordered. It was pretty good but I think the truffle flavor was a bit strong. I'm also personally not a huge fan of fried onions on top of sushi since I think it clashes a bit with the freshness of the fish, and gives me too many bar food vibes. But it certainly was flavorful and my husband and I still finished it. We shared these three sushi rolls between the two of us and it was just the right amount of food to leave feeling full. Besides the food, the restaurant itself was nice although I'm not sure they really needed to have a live DJ there as opposed to having a Spotify Playlist. Didn't bother me but I don't think it really added much to the vibe. I would definitely eat here again!

Their variety of…read morerolls and creative combinations really stand out, and the appetizer selection is just as impressive. We started with the spicy tuna crispy rice and avocado crispy rice, both of which were incredible. Each dish had its own distinct flavor, with a really nice balance of acidity, sweetness, and savoriness. We also tried a range of different rolls, and every single one felt thoughtfully crafted and unique. The ambiance adds to the experience. The space is open, well-decorated, and has plenty of seating, making it great for a night out. It does get busy during dinner hours, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. Parking is fairly convenient with a nearby structure, which is always a plus. Service was excellent as well. The staff was attentive, efficient, and made sure everything flowed smoothly throughout the meal. Drinks were another highlight. The Pretty in Pink and the Yuzu Drop were both a hit at our table. Overall, this is a great spot for a fun night out with high-quality sushi, great drinks, and an inviting atmosphere. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

The yellow tail belly was chewy. 4. All the fish in their nigri sushi were thinly cut with very little rice. Definitely all you can eat amount of fish. 5.

It's seafood, both raw and cooked, so you can get what you want. They serve sushi rolls, poke, fried fish, grilled fish, and more! There's a little something for everyone here. This particular day, we opted to share a few things, to have some variety in our meal. Salmon poke first, because that's gotta be one of my favorite things here. It's unctuous in color, texture, and taste. Sesame oil, seaweed, and a slight spiciness make this absolutely delicious, and probably among the best poke in Orange County. Comes with chips so you can order it alone if you wanted! The ceviche also comes with chips, naturally, and it's a great intro to raw fish...well because it's technically not raw. Lime juice chemically cooks the fish so it's not considered raw at all! It's acidic, vegetal, a tad briney, and overall super refreshing! Love to see it! We also got these breaded calamari fries. I don't know how they do it, but they bread and fry the most TENDER calamari I've ever had the pleasure of consuming. It comes with some tomato salsa-esque dip as well as their tommy sauce, and it's a treat no matter what you use. This is a must-try for me. And here, a burrito to share! Today's catch was Opah, so we got that in the wrap. I gotta tell you, fresh fish in a burrito is heaven! Delish all around, and with that tommy sauce and some hot sauce, you're in business! They've got so many items that you've gotta try, like their soups or sushi, that we couldn't fit it all in. If seafood is what you wish, bro? Come on down to Bear Flag Fish Co!

    Finally made my way to the OC Sugarfish after hounding them to open one up ever since I moved from…read morethe Westside and they didn't disappoint. That warm rice is unforgettable when it touches your lips and it brought me back to those wonderful experiences eating at SF when I was living in Santa Monica. Koji and Kathy were pretty cool too. If you're feeling like a fatty, do the Nozawa. If not, do the Trust me experience. Albacore belly is a must try. You will not be disappointed my peeps

Be prepared for a wait though, Sunday at lunch is very busy, and the restaurant can only hold so many people for their dining experience. Once we were seated I opted to get the Trust me menu while my husband ordered the trust me lite menu and the bluefin otoro. This was the perfect amount of sushi to start our day. Everything was delicious, my absolute favorite was the tuna and chutoro sashimi, but each piece of fish was amazingly delicious and fresh! So fresh one of my salmon pieces still had a scale on it, and the blue crab roll had small gravel like shell texture in it. Not an issue for me personally, the quality still outshone the surprises and I would still consider coming back if in the area.
