I am so happy that I found this restaurant! My friend and I were craving sushi but didn't know where to go. We found this restaurant after visiting Porto's. The fish was really fresh and delicious. Their Sushi rice was really delicious. I can easily tell that they are putting a lot of effort on the sushi rice. The rolls were really big. We were so full at the end. I am definitely coming back. read more

UPDATE: After my experience, I looked through other recent Yelp reviews and was surprised to see multiple customers describing very similar issues with the front-of-house service. Recent reviewers have described the service as rude, unhelpful, and accompanied by a poor attitude. One reviewer described the service as "awful, horrible, rude service," while another said the woman at the front had a "terrible attitude." Another recent reviewer described the host as rude after being told to wait outside in the rain and wind, and another specifically mentioned that the hostess was not helpful when they had questions. Unfortunately, this makes my experience seem much less like an isolated incident and more like a recurring customer-service problem. My own experience involved someone at the front who was unnecessarily difficult, unwilling to help with basic questions or alternatives, and ultimately refused service when I asked to speak with management. What is even more concerning is that I subsequently tried multiple times to reach management about what happened and did not receive a return call. When several recent customers are independently describing similar experiences with front-of-house staff, I would expect management or ownership to take those complaints seriously. Based on my experience and the pattern reflected in other recent reviews, I cannot recommend this restaurant. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere that values its customers and treats them with basic courtesy and respect. read more

Came back again today, and everything was just as good as I remembered. The service was great and the food was consistently delicious. The Oh My God Roll was beautifully presented, very eye-catching, and tasted just as amazing as it looked. Definitely one of the highlights. The Jalapeño Bomb Roll was also a standout. The spicy kick from the jalapeño paired really well with the sauce, making it incredibly flavorful and satisfying. We also tried the yuzu cocktail and the Sea Breeze, and both were refreshing and well-balanced. Perfect drinks to go with sushi. The sushi itself was fresh and flavorful, and you can really tell they use quality ingredients. Always a satisfying experience here. read more

This menu has over 40 specialty roll options! I went in for a quick solo lunch and sat at the sushi counter. I placed my order and went to wash my hands. As soon as I walked back I had my meal and drink ready to eat, now that's service!!! My lunch meal was around $26, corn soup is complimentary. Since it was lunch time it wasn't too busy but the rear parking lot was. Ingredients was fresh and tasty. Staff was attentive and friendly and I loved the ambiance and decor. I highly recommend visiting and trying their extensive menu! read more

First time here. Love the ambiance idk why all wood furnitures does it for me. Dim lighting's but not too dark where I cant see the menus or my food. (Hate eating in the dark) the servers/hostess was polite and attentive. Very accommodating. They gave a complementary corn soup which was actually pretty tasty. I ordered the baked muscles yummy of course and I got the 3 item bento which came with miso soup rice, and salad the 3 item I picked was sesame chicken, pork katsu cutlet and like a spicy mango cali roll. Theres was A LOT of food obviously I didnt finish but it was all so food. I'd definitely go back to try the other food for sure. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant for over 5 years, and I really like the food. However, one of the servers makes the experience not very pleasant. He has no people skills at all. He never greets or acknowledges his customers. Every time we have eaten at Starfish in Downey, he is either dismissive or rude. Today he made us wait to take our order when the restaurant wasn't even full and he wasn't busy. When he was finally ready to take our order he approached us without greeting us and simply said: "Are you ready?" After the food was brought to us, this unpleasant server by the name of Milton never came back to ask if we needed anything else. Unfortunately Milton seems to not be very happy with his job as a server. He knows who we are. He has been serving us for over 5 years and not once he smiled or served us with a great attitude. I continue to bring friends and family here despite his lack of professionalism, courtesy and kindness. What a shame that a good restaurant has poor service! :( read more

Came in around 4:30 with my brother. The hostess was friendly and the decor was cute, with private little booths. They also have a buy one roll, get one fifty percent off deal that runs all day. That ended up being the best part of the visit. The complimentary edamame was pale and brown, which set the tone. The Crispy Rice appetizer and my green tea were fine. The rolls were the real issue. The Butterfly Roll had soggy tempura and very pale, mushy tuna. The Crunch Scallop Roll tasted like the scallops had been frozen, fried too hard, and cooked in old oil. Even the rice was mushy. When one roll opened up and I saw the texture inside, it threw me off so much that I lost my appetite and felt uneasy afterward, although I cannot tell if it was the food or just my reaction. The place was almost empty, but service was slow. Two different staff members asked how our meal was. When I told the first one it was not great, he just looked sad and walked away. When I shared my concerns with the waitress, she simply slid the check over without offering any solution. It made the check ins feel pointless. It was disappointing to pay for a meal that I could not enjoy. With the freshness issues and the lack of follow through, this spot just missed the mark for me. I would not return. read more

I placed a takeout order for the 2-item bento box for lunch, and it far exceeded my expectations. There is a wide range of items to choose from, but I decided to go with the Pork Cutlet and Yellowtail Roll. Not only were there large portions of both, but the meal also includes a side salad, rice, and miso soup. The Pork Cutlet was excellent! Juicy cuts, yet still crispy and tender from the fry. It remained this way even after my 15 minute commute back. I also enjoyed the yellowtail roll. A great option if you're looking for something different than the traditional california roll. There was a cozy atmosphere when I stopped in, and plenty of parking in the back. And best of all, this restaurant and staff are quick to answer the phones and provide great service - unlike the other major sushi restaurant in Downey that always seems to have a disconnected/busy line. read more

I came here after seeing several Instagram influencer posts. If you're just craving sushi rolls, this place is fine. But if you're looking for high-quality sushi, I wouldn't recommend it. The portions were on the smaller side, and the nigiri had way too much rice, making it difficult to actually taste the fish. The food didn't live up to the hype I saw on social media. If you care about the quality and flavor of sushi, it's best to keep your expectations modest. read more

Starfish Sushi is easily one of the best sushi spots in La Mirada. The sushi tastes fresh, the rolls are well made, and the salmon nigiri is especially impressive -- buttery, clean, and full of flavor. It's also reasonably priced, so you get great quality without paying the kind of premium you'd expect for sushi this good. The service is friendly, and the portions feel fair for what you pay. Overall, it's a solid choice if you want tasty sushi in La Mirada without overspending. read more

Food has changed so much since I first came here back in 2018. The wait time to get take out is long and the servers/staff are disorganized so you don't get your food unless you ask the sushi chef at the bar for your order. Hostess was on her phone and not very helpful with questions about the menu when I asked about a couple of different roles she didn't know how to answer. The servers/hostess seemed very young and didn't ring our order correctly. We didn't get the sides we planned on paying for and they just threw a bunch of sauces in the bag but none were for my corresponding role. Place has gone downhill and is not a great sushi spot. I don't recommend this if you're a sushi person only if you care about baked or tempura rolls with tons of mayo. The inside infrastructure is the best part about this place giving the booth seating a nice ambience, but besides that this place is worth passing by if going to a decent sushi place feels too far. read more

Celebratory sushi night! We were greeted and seated upon entry. Staff was friendly and inside was clean. It was very warm inside so it made the dining area a little uncomfortable but the food was delicious. The burrito roll was a rice less roll and tasted very good. The bento boxes we ordered had terriyaki salmon, 6pc sashimi and beef goyoza. The other bento box, chicken and fried sesame chicken, both came with miso soup, salad and rice. We also ordered mango sake, they accidently brought out pineapple sake first the brought out the correct one. Both were very good. Overall we would come back here again. read more

How to get there: I was coming from South Gate so I just took Firestone all the way down to Brookshire. Service: Our waitress was great! She helped make great food choices and, was even kind enough to make substitutions on our choices due to dietary needs. The only reason it's not a 5 star and you know it's hard to get a 5 from me was the dessert situation. I ordered creme brulee and didn't get that at all. Everything else was fine. read more

Unfortunately, they're buy one get 1/2 deal does not apply to take out order orders. I had already placed my order so I wasn't going to cancel. I will say the food tasted very good. It was worth the price it is. I would come back and get the same thing again. I like that they make the rules nice and thick so that you're full and not still hungry. And did take a while to come out, but it was worth the wait. They have an inside seating section and they also have an outdoor patio as well. It's located in a small business plaza across the street from Portos. read more

Starfish isn't as good as it once was. They changed their inside seating and it looks amazing but wait time is longer you go in and sign in and the line tells you one thing while the staff tell you different. The food is okay. Just not happy with service the way it was before was better. read more

I used to really enjoy the sashimi salad here, but the quality has gone way downhill over the years. The portions are smaller than they used to be, and instead of fresh cuts of fish, my salad was mostly piled with onions. It completely overpowered the sashimi, which is supposed to be the star of the dish. Honestly, it was disappointing and not worth the price. To go it is $25. I'm sad to say the sashimi salad that used to be my go-to is now something I wouldn't order again. read more

The main reason why I went here is because they stay open late and I was craving sushi because it's summertime and I don't want to eat anything hot temperature wise. First off, I love the look of inside the restaurant, it's cute! I believe this is a Good choice, so happy I checked this place out. It was clean, the servers were friendly and the food is tasty. In my opinion, the sushi tasted fresh. Another plus, I think it's buy one get one 50% off. I would definitely come back. read more
