Dinner was delicious! Michael - Mikey- was an exceptional server! The rice paper rolls were excellent - like eating a salad wrapped in rice paper rolls. We added the soft shell crab into the rolls for $8. This was a waste as the crab was insignificant and didn’t add anything to an already great starter. The sea bass was excellent. The chicken on the banana leaf was dry. Otherwise a great experience!

I have some picky eaters in my group, but this place pleased everyone! Every dish we had was sumptuous; the shrimp cake skewers were a twist on a dim sum favorite, the wagyu steak was cooked to perfection, the curry lobster was my daughter’s favorite, and the truffle sauce noodles with crispy lobster absolutely melted in my mouth. Good times!

We had drinks and four selections from the Happy Hour menu. The food was delicious and not the usual bar food. Crispy Chilean Sea Bas, Tropical mango fish, chicken curry with fried rice paper-yum, yum!The servings were generous. We will definitely be back to work our way through the regular menu. Cannot wait to try the Royal Crown fried rice with white and black jasmine rice.

Had a great first time experience, food and drinks were delicious. Our server was friendly and attentive. The only thing I found odd was that the host kept sitting other parties who came after us even though he had checked us in for our reservation. We thought he had forgotten us and ended up waiting 10-15 more mins before we were seated. Wasn’t a great start to our dinner, but the server and quality of food made up for that awkward moment.

We had a miserable experience at Star Leaf. The restaurant did not seat us in a timely manner, the food came out in an uneven manner and was often cold or soaked in grease. Panda Express provides better customer service and food.

We’re truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. Delays in seating may occur during especially busy times, but we understand how frustrating this can be, and we’re working to better manage wait times to ensure smoother service. Your feedback about the food’s temperature and quality is also deeply concerning, and we’ll address this with our kitchen team immediately. Our goal is to provide flavorful, well-prepared dishes, and it’s clear we fell short during your visit. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
