Starfish

My husband and I have tried the Laguna Beach Starfish location and decided to try the Newport Beach one as well. The food and service here were exceptional and we'll definitely be returning! For sushi we ordered the Lobster macadamia roll and Crab California roll. Both tasted so fresh and we loved the siracha ailoli on each, adds a nice spice flavor. For an entree, we got the Cambodian black pepper filet with the coconut rice. Definitely recommend, the filet cooked perfectly tender. As a dessert, we ordered the bread pudding, cooked perfectly and perfectly rich to end the meal.

Beautiful Anniversary Dinner – Special Thanks to Kai! We celebrated our anniversary at Starfish Newport and it was truly memorable. The ambiance was elegant and perfect for a special occasion. The food was delicious, especially Chicken Satay, and beautifully presented. A special shoutout to Kai, who was incredibly thoughtful and gave us the best suggestions while ordering, also offer dessert on house for our Anniversary . He made us feel so welcomed and taken care of. His warm hospitality added a personal touch to our evening. Highly recommend this place for celebrations!

What a delicious place to eat!! I’m from Australia and was craving Asian food. My grandma took me here and wow 10/10 hit the spot. Great portions, perfect flavours and affordable prices. Thanks Paige for your lovely energy and attentive service 😍 I’ll be sure to come back when I visit LA.

I went to Starfish this past Sunday evening and had the best experience! First off, the service we received was exceptional. They were able to accommodate our party with ease, and our server, Paige, was attentive and sweet. She gave us multiple great recommendations. Also, the food was outstanding, especially the spice beef with basil. I will certainly be back soon and will recommend this place to others.

One of my favorite happy hours in town! So many delicious dishes to try, perfect for sharing. Pair with any of their cocktails for a great outing in Newport Beach (I loved the lychee and cantaloupe martinis).

This restaurant, as well as the other Starfish on Laguna Beach, continue to serve some of the finest seafood and sushi you'll find anywhere in Southern California. Our meal at this Starfish was enhanced by some of the most attentive and pleasant service I've enjoyed in a long time. Our server was knowledgeable about the preparation of the menu items and willingly answered our questions. This is definitely a must visit place in Orange County.

Arrived on a Friday early evening with no reservation and the hostess could not have been nicer. If I could give the service 10 stars, I would. The servers, bartender, food runners, were all great. Nice wine selection. We enjoyed the summer roll (which was huge) and the crab-mango noodles, also generously portioned. Highly recommend!

I just picked up an online order and had to wait a long time to get acknowledged, I was standing by the front for 5 or 10 mins while the girl was in her own world. She even dropped of some dishes next to me and she totally ignored me. Felt discriminated. Do better, put more effort and acknowledge the customers.
