"One of Pasadena’s most recent stunners is Star Leaf, an upscale Southeast Asian restaurant. The group behind the restaurant already operates 43 other locations throughout Asia, but this is the first in the U.S. On the food menu find Thai and Singaporean dishes, while the cocktail options include the Raffles Singapore Sling with gin, cherry heering, benedictine, pineapple, and lime juice, as well as a lychee martini." - Rebecca Roland, Mona Holmes, Eater Staff
