Decided to use our Resy $100 credit here before the end of the quarter. Foods were delicious and ambiance was spot on. Perfect for date night or out of town guests. We dragged our two small children along just to show them what fancy nice sit down dinner looked like - and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend the pork. It had a minor kick to it but it didn't bother my two kids. Our server was very welcoming and attentive. Our dessert took a bit longer than expected and he gifted us an extra dessert on top of it as apology. Very thoughtful and kind of him. read more

This place is just beautiful. A lot of thought was clearly put into the decor and it feels elegant and romantic. I've only ever had drinks at the bar, but the bar itself is lovely and they have a solid drinks menu. Even the bathroom is nicely decorated! If I ever go back to eat I'll be sure to update, so this is more like a 3.5 for ambiance. read more

Beautiful restaurant, great service & delicious food. We can for dineLA, $25 for a starter & entree, what a great deal! We enjoyed the Thai som tum mango papaya salad, Saigon summer rice paper rolls & Thai royal curry with shrimp and soft shell crab. We also ordered their southeast Asian ribeye and seasonal vegetables. Everything was delicious! I recommend going for dineLA or for their weekday lunch specials. read more

Maybe my favorite Asian Fusion restaurant ever! The Dine LA menu had a delicious variety. I had nothing that disappointed me. The service staff were so polite and welcoming especially to my kids. The interior is so beautifully done and a great date place or a family dinner spot. read more

A great restaurant in Pasadena with consistently good food and a welcoming atmosphere. The truffle noodles were rich and flavorful, and the fried fish with mango sauce was amazing. The steak salad was decent, but the noodles and fish really stood out. The drinks are always well made, and the bartenders add to the experience - they're friendly, attentive, and fun to chat with. It's a spot that works just as well for a nice dinner as it does for a casual evening out. read more

I will go back for that salmon again and again! I stopped in for a solo dinner date during DineLA after browsing the Pasadena options and I felt that Star Leaf curated a nice menu for diners to try during the series and with my favorite dish on the menu, I knew it was meant to be. Starter - BAKKA WILD SALMON IN THAI VINAIGRETTE - salmon sashimi is high quality and the asian salsa verde is drinkable. Make that into a cocktail and I could be here every night. Topping each salmon piece with mint and garlic gives it a nice freshness and texture to it. Main - SOUTHEAST ASIAN RIBEYE - cooked a nice medium rare with a good char, a generous piece, and accompanied by the thai mint salad and charred pineapple was really nice, brining that Asian flair to the dish. Dessert - MANGO STICKY RICE - given a smaller version of their regular menu, the triple glutinous rice had more of a bite to it and the mango was perfectly ripe and sweet and soft. I've had their cocktails before but opted for a mocktail this night. -- STRAWBERRY PANDAN LEMONADE - on the sweeter side, heavy on the strawberry puree, light on the pandan syrup, but refreshing like a cold lemonade on a hot summer's day. read more

I was really excited to try this restaurant, but unfortunately it didn't quite meet my expectations. The space itself is large with a nice interior design and a well-thought-out layout, which made for a great first impression. We ordered the shrimp cakes, crispy short rib, and truffle noodles. I would skip the shrimp cakes--they weren't anything special and honestly tasted like a frozen item that had been fried and served. About 20 minutes after placing our order, we were told the crispy short rib was sold out, so we switched to the grilled lamb chops. These were just okay--mostly fatty and a bit chewy. The puree underneath them also didn't add much and wasn't very good. The highlight of the meal was definitely the truffle noodles, delicious and absolutely worth ordering. On a positive note, the staff was very friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the food overall just didn't live up to the experience I was hoping for. read more

Food was acceptional. We ordered a bunch a stuff. Mango payaya salad, Thai royal shrimp curry, orange chicken, pad Thai, crispy fish, pork collar, salmon belly carpaccio Best thing was probably the payaya salad. Food was pricey but wasn't really that great. It is a Thai "fusion" restaurant. They didn't even have chicken satay. read more

Good dining place if you're looking to splurge a little! Food was very good, the standout was the curry, from the moment we walked in we could smell it and knew we were getting some type of curry dish and it absolutely smacked, some of the best curry I've had. We also got a chicken dish can't remember the name but it was roasted and very yummy and juicy as well. For starters we got the rolls which were very intersting but taste wise were good! The mango sticky rice was SO good and idk if me and my homegirl were tripping but each color rice has a different taste so that was a nice touch! Their drinks were very strong but in the best way, still tasted as expected. Service was great honestly! She apologized about the wait multiple times and realistically it wasn't even that bad compared to other places I've been recently. And at the end she gave us each a voucher for free lunch because of the wait. Hospitality at its finest! Although it is pricey I will be back for sure and not just to use the free voucher, this place deserves its accolades and I'm glad we have it here in Pasadena! read more

Came back to try out some of the summer/dinner menu with a few friends, and the vibes are still next level. You definitely come here for the ambiance, and the service is top-notch. As for the food, it's pricey but pretty good. Just come in with the expectation that it's not exactly authentic Thai food--it's more of a fusion. The four of us tried these items: Nyonya Scallop - This was on the summer menu and it's delicious. Totally recommend it--super fresh and everything worked perfectly together. (5/5) Malaysian Rojak Salad - Personally, I thought this was just okay. It was a very light version compared to what I'm used to, and overall it seemed kind of basic. Not bad, but I wouldn't order it again. (2.5/5) Pineapple Fried Rice - Pretty unique since they add parmesan cheese (we got it on the side). The fried rice itself was good--nothing super special, but still tasty. The cheese felt a bit unnecessary, though it actually did taste pretty good. (4/5) Madame Noi's Pork Collar - This one was great; I'd definitely get it again. Super hearty but still packed with flavor. The pork was cooked perfectly, and I loved the wrap. (5/5) Malay Captain's Curry - Tasty, though nothing mind-blowing. Nicely presented with classic flavors. Overall solid. (4/5) The Pink Mekong - Awesome dessert! It comes with the cool smoky effect, and they pour the pink coconut cream at the table. Really fun, a bit pricey, but kind of worth it. (5/5) Overall, as long as you're not expecting authentic Thai food, the dishes here are delicious. Both times I've visited, the service has been excellent, and I've always loved how the restaurant looks. Definitely worth coming at least once. Parking - You can pay around $5 at nearby lots, but after 6 pm you can park on the street. I parked across from the restaurant. read more

Great service. Lovely ambiance. Delicious food. Sadly no kids menu but our server Cameron suggested truffle noodles with sauce on side and our kiddo loved it. Really enjoyed our duck salad and captain curry too. Didn't have room for dessert this visit but we played the dice game and won lamb chops for next visit. We will definitely be back. read more

Went to Pasadena for family dinner and walked past the beautiful restaurant. Its fairly new and so happy we walked in. Fast and friendly service with several great dishes. Looking forward to go back with some friends as I know they will enjoy it. I can imagine how nice the patio would be in the summer. All the dishes were delicious full of flavor. Make sure to truly the desert ice cream and coffee flan. read more

A gem of a restaurant with delicious food. Park in nearby structure before taking a walk to restaurant. Interior reminded me of Crazy Rich Asian vibes with all the green walls + short wait time + exceptional service. Mike was super attentive and made sure we were satisfied with our meal. We got the royal crown fried rice ($22), bakka wild salmon in thai vinaigrette ($25), madame noi's pork collar ($25), and slow drip vietnam coffee flan ($12). Every plate was presented beautifully and the lighting allowed for beautiful pictures. The food was also fantastic. 10/10, highly recommend if you have the chance. read more

Went for dine LA and everything was delicious!! Highlights were the 2 whiskey cocktails, the salmon appetizer, and the steak main dish. Not sure if the steak is on their regular menu or if it was just for dine la but if you see it, order it! Great service, loved the outdoor patio and we even had a couple cute (& very well behaved dogs) near us that made it even better. read more

I came back here today for their spicy seafood tom yum soup. I had it at their Yelp Elite dinner a few months back and have been craving it since. I was a bit worried that they had made is extra good because it was a Yelp Elite event. Well, it did not disappoint today. The broth was just as savory, delicious and packed with fresh seafood as the first time I had it. The presentation is a bit dramatic. They wheel out the soup in a cart over a burner, and then add the fresh raw prawns in, and the garnishments. It's the best tom yum soup hands-down for me. We also ordered the pineapple fried rice and the seasonal vegetables (Napa cabbage). Both were delicious. I wish the portion of the pineapple fried rice could have be 25% to 30% larger. To my delight, Cameron, the server I met last time when I was there was there again today! He was our server. It was so nice to see a familiar face. Cameron gives the best service. We didn't get to try the 12 hour braised beef this time. Will get that next time! read more

Unfortunately the food isn't as good as when they opened. Not at all. But the prices are up. I don't like to criticize, but when you pay a lot for an evening out you hope it tastes better then Panda Express. (Sadly it isn't even as good). Time to hire someone with better recipes. read more

This restaurant is neither vegetarian-friendly nor customer-friendly. Our experience was disappointing from start to finish. Our server, Deja, had a rude attitude throughout the meal. When we politely asked her to take a picture for us, she rolled her eyes and seemed visibly annoyed. We ordered a large soup, but no bowls or spoons were provided. After asking for them, we waited nearly 10 minutes before receiving anything. Even getting water took far too long. The service was extremely disorganized, with dishes arriving one at a time instead of together. The food itself was just as disappointing. The Thai curry was the worst I've ever had. While we were still eating the pineapple fried rice, one of the employees came over and took the dish away without even asking if we were finished. To make matters worse, we waited over 20 minutes for dessert, only for Deja to finally come over and tell us the kitchen was taking too long and that we could either keep waiting or cancel the order. Overall, the service, attitude, and food quality were unacceptable. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Really would have loved to give this place 5 stars, but unfortunately have a second visit, which I happened to take within about 3 weeks of each other, I had to dock it one star and I'll explain the reasoning for that below. First let's talk about the restaurant itself. It's located on a corner along Colorado in Pasadena. I believe it used to be Roy's Hawaiian a while ago, but I can be mistaken. Anyways, the place is nice. There is an outside patio that has heaters, which would probably make for a beautiful dinner. Once you walk in a little more you are greeted with a little fountain and a photo-op. Once you step inside, you are greeted by the greeter's table and the inside decor, I would call somewhat "modern with an Asian twist". Now the food! I have tasted a good amount of the menu between my 2 visits here, but my favorites are as follows: The Royal Crown Fried Rice is a crowd favorite and I totally understand why. The texture and flavor in this fried rice is amazing. I love getting it and has easily become a go-to! 10/10 for sure. My second favorite is their Night Market Shichimi Tofu. If you like fried tofu, get this! And even if you don't, still get it! It's a softer tofu (So close to silken) and it just melts in your mouth. I could probably eat 2 plates of these...heck! Even 3! :) 10/10 for me! We had also ordered the Siam Beach Club eggrolls which were good, but nothing too crazy there, so I rated those a 8/10. The Thai Royal Curry was as expected, it was good, but it didn't really stand out as much as the other dishes. The flavor of the curry was there, but it was comparable to most. As for the mains, we have tried the Short Ribs and the Ribeye. The short ribs were good, as braised short ribs usually are. The flavor was really good and the cook on it was spot on. Gave this a 9/10. The ribeye was mediocre. It had a good cook on it, but nothing too outstanding about this dish, so we gave it an 8/10. I had also tried the pork collar (8.5/10) and mango sea bass (9/10) (did not have a picture), but those 2 were also good. Nothing on the many is BAD, I think they're all worth a taste, but I think what makes certain items on the menu pop out more than most is the creativity in the dishes. And not just in presentation, but texture and taste. I love an experience! Now why did I end up docking a whole star? Well, for my second visit, which was an early dinner during a weekday for my mother's bday, they did not have half of what I wanted to order for her. As we continued to order, the server tried their best to accommodate us, proposing other recommendations, running back and forth between the kitchen and our table to double check inventory for us, but again, 3 dishes that I really wanted my family to try was not available. We found that shocking given the type and quality restaurant we were in. After trying to help us, and getting all of our food out though, the server, we felt, kind of kept their distance. They did not frequent our table to make sure everything was alright. We assumed because they felt bad that the restaurant didn't have what we wanted, but it kind of left a bad taste in our mouths, especially because we celebrated my mom's birthday. I had to flag them down to see if there was anything special they could do for a birthday celebration. So there it is! The -1 star reasoning. I do see myself coming back again because I know the food is good, but I just pray I come on days where they have EVERYTHING because it is worth it. Anyways, Cheers, YELP fam! And Happy Eating!

We returned for a friend's birthday, and it was a great time again this year! I realized I forgot to review it the first time we came by, so I had to make sure I reviewed this time. Parking in this area is pretty rough - we did manage to find street parking this day, but I think we got validated parking last time (I think the validation was limited though, which is why we looked for street parking). Service was great here - our server checked on us often, and everything went pretty smoothly. It was also nice that their drink menu includes a few mocktail options that looked tasty! Now, for the food/drinks: -Mulled Apple Sour: tasted like it sounds? -Ume Old Fashioned: my partner seemed to enjoy it. He got the same thing last time! -Truffle Wok-Seared Noodle with Scallops: I don't eat scallops, so I can't speak to that, but the noodles were really good, especially with the truffle sauce they offered on the side. -Royal Crown Fried Rice: the people in our party really enjoyed this seafood fried rice. My partner mentioned how good it was, multiple times! -Braised Assorted Mushrooms: probably good for people who really enjoy mushrooms. I wasn't the biggest fan, but I also don't love mushrooms, so... -Madame Noi's Pork Collar: This was memorably tasty the first time, and we enjoyed it just as much this time! The flavor and texture of the pork is great, and the basil garlic dipping sauce is super good, too. -Grilled Lamb Chops: the lamb chops themselves were solid, but didn't love the cauliflower puree. -Crispy Duck Salad: I actually really enjoyed this! The textural contrast from the crispy duck was fun, and it was nice to have the freshness of the salad with our meal. Loved the flavors in this, too! -Malay Captain's Curry Chicken: this curry chicken was pretty good! Dipping the bread into the curry was tasty, and the chicken in the curry was pretty tender. This one was recommended by our waitress, and we're glad we took her recommendation! Overall, the experience was great, and there are a lot of tasty dishes here. read more

Our group of friends celebrated NYE here and it was the perfect place. The food was amazing and we get to taste a selection of Thai and Japanese dishes. From the golden fried shrimp to the lamp chop and papaya salad, everything went RIGHT. Our server was friendly and had a huge smile on her face the whole night. I would say the whole experience is a 5 star for SURE. This restaurant is perfect for company events or holiday celebrations. You will not be disappointed! read more

I was in the area and wanted to swing by here to grab some take-out for home. They took over what used to be Roy's (I miss their chocolate cake!), and what they've done with the space is amazing. The place looks bigger and the decor is dark, moody and sexy. Beautiful space! Great ambiance for sure. Let's get to the food though. I ordered their appetizer platter ($22) and the lobster curry ($32). Upon getting home and unpacking, the appetizer platter looked underwhelming. $22 for this amount of food? Definitely not worth the value...but I also remember one of the reasons I got the platter was that it came with Som Tum salad...but I did not see any salad. And I love 10 miles away so there was no way I was going to drive back, and seemed a bit lame to call and complained I'm missing my papaya salad. Oh well...just had to chuck it up and move on. As for the lobster curry, it came with sliced baguette. Not something I'm used to as most places would give you a side of rice with curry. The lobster is served cut and out of the shell so it makes it easy to enjoy the lobster. The curry...to be honest...good but wasn't that flavorful and a bit underwhelming. Service is really good here though. From being greeted to placing my order and then getting my order...5/5 service. Food is overpriced. Not a lot of value - portions are small for the price. And keep in mind that the flavors are more Thai inspired vs. authentically Thai. If you're looking for a nice place to sit down and enjoy some Asian food, where you care more about the ambiance and service than the flavor of the food, this is a great spot. But for me, I value the taste of the food a bit more so not for me unfortunately. read more

I was walking down Colorado blvd when I noticed this place. I thought to myself, this looks oddly new because I've never seen the restaurant a day in my life. They had a sign outside claiming to have happy hour from 3pm-5pm, that took my interest. I love the ambiance, the decorum I should say. Very elegant, wonderful for a date night or a girls day. I sat at the bar and ordered me a glass of Chardonnay off the happy hour menu.. $6. They have a wide variety of cocktails, wines, as well as food. The food is very good. And the bartender was fast, yet attentive. Would definitely come back here again! read more

Amazing service. Came to celebrate a relative visiting from out of town. Loved the special touches like the card and Polaroid photo we received at the end of dinner! I can tell the manager/owner loves kids. She had a big smile on her face and offered my kids lollipops as we were leaving and even helped us take a group photo outside with their birthday backdrop. I really enjoyed the appetizer spring rolls and egg rolls. Yellow curry was ok. It's a dish I normally order at regular Thai restaurants. Didn't taste like what I was expecting, not enough flavor for me. Cocktails were delicious. Overall, a great place to celebrate with friends or family given how upscale the vibe is compared to other Thai restaurants! read more

Ambiance is nice and the menu offers a fun mix of Southeast Asian fusion dishes. The tofu appetizer was one of my favorites. It was crisp on the outside and soft inside, with a flavorful dipping sauce that made it stand out. The baked oysters were also a hit. Rich and savory, they were cooked just right. The pineapple fried rice came with shrimp and squid, and had a great balance of sweet and savory. The ribeye was incredibly tender and smooth, definitely one of the more memorable dishes of the night. Service was slow, which was frustrating. Even though the restaurant was not busy, we waited about thirty minutes before anyone took our order. We were probably 1 of 3 tables in there. We finished with the mango sticky rice, which felt underwhelming. It came with two scoops of ice cream, a very tiny amount of mango, and a bit of black sticky rice at the bottom. It looked more like a sampler than a dessert. I usually don't expect or want ice cream with mango sticky rice - so I would skip this if you're not in a cold dessert mood. Parking was either street or valet, and I found street parking easily at night. Star Leaf is still worth a visit if you're in the area and craving something different. read more

We have been here twice for lunch so far and we enjoyed both times. Aged short ribs so flavorful and soft. Branzino so tender and fresh. Royal crown fried rice seasoned perfectly and not oily nor salty. All dishes we ordered were all consistently good both times. Decor is modern and fancy. Service is decent. We will return quarterly to use our Resy credits of course. read more

I'm long overdue for a review of Star Leaf. It's a (now not so new) Southeast Asian inspired fusion menu with authentic tasting food. The ambience can both be formal and lavish or casual and chill. So feel free to dress up or dress down, the staff are equally friendly and attentive. Great, personal customer service. Wet towel service is available if you need to refresh your face and hands before the meal. Decent vegetarian and vegan options. I appreciate that they rotate season items while also having some staple dishes. I've had the tofu appetizer, vegetable curry, string beans, crying tiger salad with tofu and the vegan kaprow wrap. They also have NA Asahi dry beer for those who are sober or lightweight with alcohol. Plenty of dessert options. Dessert options are mostly vegetarian, no vegan items (I don't think). Overall, I really enjoy coming to Star Leaf. It's fun to celebrate with friends on a special occasion or just grab a quick tasty bite by yourself in the relaxed patio. read more

We came in during lunchtime and it was not packed. Apparently prices and serving portions of their menu is bigger and a tad pricier than the lunch menu. We seated immediately since as I mentioned, it was not a packed day. It was in the middle of the week. The food was presentation and plating was done tastefully. The Summer wraps were filled with veggies the way I like it. I do not particularly like the rolled crispy wrap inside the summer roll. However, I do understand that this is the texture that you would be eyeing for considering the wrap are all soft and filled with vegetables. This wrap is very dependent on how the sauce has been paired up with which gives the significant flavor of the dish. I surprisingly like the shrimp roll on top of the crab rice. I actually enjoyed that very much. This is a dish that you should try. The shrimp and prawns and salmon again have been plated very well and elegantly. This restaurant is a must go to if you're in town a nice place to bring friends as well. Four solid stars for this restaurant. I hope to visit and try the other dishes next time I visit the Los Angeles Angeles Metro area. read more

Star Leaf is definitely worth checking out. I'm only giving it 4stars as it was our first time. For our introduction though, we were blown away. Our server, Colin greeted us as if we were long time friends. It was a great feeling. That combined with the quiet feel of the restaurant made us feel at home. Our drinks arrived from the bartender himself and, Old Fashioneds are, they were spectacular. We had the Chicken yellow curry and Pad Thai for main dishes and we do so recommend. Right amount of everything and the dishes are big enough to share. We did not go away hungry. Our desserts were the sticky rice Mango and The Vietnamese Flan, both delicious. Please, run, do not walk to Star Leaf. It's amazing read more

finally tried star leaf and everything was so delicious and flavorful. a bit boujee, but overall really enjoyed every dish. the soft shell crab curry was my favorite along with the sea bass. the sea bass wasn't fishy at all and had a nice lemony zest to it. the interior of the restaurant is also really nice. service wasn't bad either considering how busy it was. read more

Everyone was super nice and helpful :) i unfortunately feel like the plates look better than it taste.. 1. Appetizer platter - they started off strong. The tropical mango fish was soo good. Battered and fish ratio was perfect, cooked well, tasted even better. Shrimp cake skewers was very meaty and fresh. The wings were just okay. The som tu. Salad was so good, hubby doesn't eat a lot of veggies but he loved these! 2. 12hr braised Angus = of course it was super tender :) first look, hubby thought it was gona be tough but it was super soft. Just needed a little bit more of finishing salt then it would be perfect. But it was good. 3. Lime steamed Chilean sea bass = underwhelming. Inconsistent cook.. I don't see why they wouldn't steam it all together? But some of the fish was tougher than others. There was just 2 pieces that were actually great. 4. Pineapple fried rice = reminded me of fair food :( 5. Banana leaf chicken = loved it because u can taste the rosemary and hunt of banana lead...a bit tough but it was my 2nd fave amongst everything we ordered (1st was the mango fish). Hubby thought it was mediocre. read more

Dining here was an experience!! Ambience: The vibes hit as soon as you enter the outdoor patio. The eastern decor and lush plants immediately welcome you into a peaceful oasis. The inside is even more ornate, with gorgeous chandeliers and charming seating arrangements. Food: The shrimp skewers were larger than expected and fresh from the fryer. But the star of the show was the bakka salmon sashimi Silky, buttery, and packed with flavor! Clean, fresh taste finished with a spicy, citrusy chili verde on top. Pure perfection Also ordered were the strawberry matcha and yuzu mocktails. Both were good, but not necessarily outstanding. The bill came out to ~$90 for the two small dishes and two drinks. And even though the dishes are all made to share, the price tag is still a little steep for me considering they were not full entrees. Service: The servers were patient and very helpful with suggestions, but what really made an impact were the front hosts. They were so friendly and eager to share Star Leaf's legacy with me (it's the first US location!) read more

We ordered the 12hr braised short rib, royal crown fried rice, sam beach egg rolls and mango sticky rice for dessert. Everything was delicious. I wish we had more of the short rib. Maybe next time we'll come back to try the lamb. The fried rice is a must!!! Its so nice and fun to eat with the masago on top.

They also provided towelettes and served complimentary shrimp chips before our meal. I would come again to try their other dishes, everything looked presentable and tasty. read more

I think we dodged a bullet tonight if the hostesses are any indication of the service levels at this restaurant. We could see that the restaurant was half empty and the bar was completely empty, so we thought we would dine here before our show at Pasadena Playhouse even though it is V-day at 6pm. We walked in and stood in front of the hostesses (no other customers around) and no one acknowledged us for what seemed like 3 minutes but was probably only 1. The hostesses were in the middle of a quiet conversation so we waited. Once we were acknowledged, I asked for a table for two. She smiled and said "We aren't taking walk-in's at the moment." I said okay and we left. Lots of seating so they just be out of servers. If we were offered we might have eaten at the bar but with the cold reception, I think we made the right move by leaving. Looks nice inside but I can take a hint. read more
