“ Loved my experience here!! Marissa is the best. She accommodated every request, no questions asked. My first time at the restaurant and will be coming again If you're in need of location for a date night, corporate dinner, or just simple lunch. You won't regret Star Leaf ”

“ I visited for DineLA and, as a party of 1, was given seating at the full-service bar. After getting a hold of the dineLA lunch menu (there was a lot of confusion among the workers if they had were participating, and I was given multiple copies of the dinner menu), I ordered the salmon, royal crown fried rice, and, ultimately the panna cotta dessert. The salmon was my favorite course -- a good pairing of fatty fish with a tangy vinegarette. The fried rice had a blanket of roe which was decadent. The coconut panna cotta was half panna cotta, half jelly with a topping for fresh fruit and toasted nuts. I would've liked all panna cotta or a less firmly set jelly, but I liked the added nutty crunch from the topping. Service was slow, I ended up staying for about 1.5 hrs (which is a long time for a party of 1!). I did appreciate that they let me swap out my dessert choice after I finished the main course. I noticed a lot of other people ordered the curry, so will need to indouge in that next time! ”

“ The restaurant had such an amazing appeal. An upscale casual Asian Fusion dining experience with modern decor with tropical notes and vibes all throughout the restaurant. I came here for the DineLA Dinner experience and it did not disappoint at all. All the portions came in full size (with exception to one appetizer), but overall, had amazing taste! Crying Tiger Salad with Tofu (4.5/5): I absolutely loved this dish! I'm not usually a big fan of spring salad, but the citrus vinaigrette dressing had a nice refreshing, tangy taste which made the salad enjoyable. The tofu had a good texture and complimented the salad well, in my opinion. Bakka Wild Salmon in Thai Vinaigrette (4/5): my friend got this for his appetizer. This is the appetizer that didn't come in full portion size for the DineLA option (came with 4 pieces, instead of 8) but overall, the Asian salsa verde complimented the salmon sashimi very well with hints of mint. Thai Royal Curry with Soft Shell Crab (5/5): this was the highlight of my night! My meal came with a whole soft shell crab that was the right amount of crisp for texture. The curry has a slight kick to add some heat, but not overwhelming. The flavors blended so well together, would order again. Thai Milk Tea (4/5): I love the fact that they put in a scoop of coconut ice cream in the milk tea. It brought out a light creaminess to the drink, very enjoyable. Prawn Crackers (4/5): it came as a free starter for us, but they made them fresh! It was nice and warm coming out and the crunch texture was perfect. Overall, solid option to try. The staff were so friendly and very helpful when deciding what to eat. They also had a magician providing entertainment to the guests, which is something you don't see frequently at any other restaurants! Would definitely recommend this place for date night or taking out friends/family! ”

“ I was always curious about this place and have been wanting to try it. Thanks to Dine LA, I decided to give this place a try. This is a really nice place to celebrate any special occasion or just wanting to grab something to eat. I went on Saturday night with some friends and luckily I made a reservation because the house was packed. I heard that there was a magician strolling around and doing magic to the customers. For the Dine LA menu, need to ask the waiters to for it. We ordered: Bakka Wild Salmon in Thai Vinaigrette: 5/5, this was a fan fave, the vinaigrette was really addicting. Crying tiger salad with Grilled Chicken: 4/5 refreshing salad and chicken was surprisingly juicy, other than that it was nothing special. Thai Royal Curry: 4/5 the spice slowly kicks in but it was also very creamy. It was a bit spicy for my taste. Malay Captain's curry with chicken because they ran out of beef: 4/5 very savory and a bit spicy for me Royal crown fried rice:5/5 this was my favorite dish of the night, love the texture that the fish roe gave to the fried rice like a crunch Panna Cotta Coconut cup: 3/5 tasted like milk and fruits Vietnam coffee flan: 4/5 tasted more like chocolate than coffee but none the less, it was very delicious The entertainment, "Vin Chee the Magician" was such a treat to see a magician performing while waiting for our food. Our party was very impressed with his tricks. The customer service was friendly and responsive. Parking can be found on the streets. ”

“ Beautiful restaurant for a special occasions. This place has a modern décor as well as being quite cozy. We saw that they had a DineLA for $25 lunch (including weekends) so we came for lunch on a Saturday. First off, the DineLA menu looks the same for lunch/dinner except dinner is $20 more. They didn't initially give us the menu so if you're here for DineLA make sure to ask for it. In terms of the food these were my thoughts. Mamasan's Shrimp Cake Skewers - This is a MUST GET. Fried perfectly and its hefty in size, packed with content. A perfect dish. (5/5) Spicy Tom Yum Soup - Not too sour nor was it that spicy. Overall it tasted good but it didn't hit like other Thai places. (4/5) Thai Royal Curry - So I didn't think the curry was that special but I did love the soft shell crab. You get to choose rice or a baguette and I got the rice. Overall not bad. (4/5) Royal Crown Fried Rice - This was a pretty dish, with fish roe layered on top of delicious rice. Personally IDK how I feel about the fish roe, I don't think it was necessary. It's a fun dish to eat because the texture popped in your mouth but I can't say it's the best tasting dish ever. (3.5/5) Pandan Ice Cream - Loved it, pandan is awesome. (5/5) Tropical Panna Cotta Coconut Cup - Had a lot of fruits and overall it was good. Nothing special but no complaints. (4.5/5) Thai Tea - They gave this to us for free since apparently it was an extra they accidentally made. It tasted really different than Thai tea from other places, as if they didn't add any sugar. It does come with a scoop of ice cream which was delicious. (3.5/5) Overall I thought the vibe here was awesome as well as the service. I don't think the prices for the food is completely justified. Personally thought the food looked better than it actually tasted. It's probably a one and done for me but I am glad that I got to try this spot finally through DineLA! ”

“ After seeing so many promo posts about Star Leaf, I finally had a chance to come check it out during DineLA week for lunch. It took over the previous Roy's spot and completely transformed the interior. The restaurant has a very sophisticated vibe with dark color decor and furnitures. Love to see the open kitchen. We ordered BAKKA WILD SALMON IN THAI VINAIGRETTE (4PCS), MAMASAN'S SHRIMP CAKE SKEWERS (2PCS), THAI ROYAL CURRY with soft shell crab, ROYAL CROWN FRIED RICE, TROPICAL PANNA COTTA COCONUT CUP and SLOW - DRIP VIETNAM COFFEE FLAN. Every dish we ordered was decent. I thought the flavor on each dish was well balanced. Although I found the flavor of the salmon itself was rather bland. The sauce helped somewhat. The Royal Curry was deeply savory. It's a pretty heavy dish but I managed to finish it. Now the downside of the lunch experience - we were on a lunch break but this meal took 2 hours. There was only one waiter in our section. It took us over 20 minutes to ask for our desserts. I know we asked for our desserts before the other 2 tables around us, but ours came last. The worst part was they told us the DineLA desserts we ordered were just sold out so they brought out Thai tea ice cream instead. That was very disappointing. The silver lining was the waiter tried to make it right. He brought out the signature dessert THE PINK MEKONG for our table. It's an impressive dessert but we were in such a rush to finish the meal to get back so didn't really get to enjoy it. Finally, just a reminder to ask for an itemized receipt before signing on the handheld Toast to pay. Overall, the food was decent and I love the ambiance. But the service was so slow. I applaud the restaurant trying to make it right when we voiced our concern. I may come back to try other menu items and happy hour drinks. ”

“ Very nice place to meet my friends there. The food is amazing, my kids love tofu and shrimp so much, taste very soft! The service is good too, Andy is super nice guy! ”

“ Tasty food and fancy environment! Marissa served us well. Thai milk tea has a strong milk flavor blended with coconut, very special ”

“ Food was excellent. Service was prompt and efficient. Tom yum soup far exceeded our expectations. Everything we ordered was delicious and our server was an absolute delight. Drinks was delicious as well. The music was absolutely on theme and the ambiance was comfortable and warm. ”
