Starfish Laguna Beach

I've door dashed before, but finally decided to treat myself to an in house dining experience. I went for their happy hour! Drinks: I tried their Wild Lychee Martini, Ginger Pinch and Zen Tea! All were fantastically crafted by Bren and Zach! The Zen Tea was a personal favorite but I'd drink all three again! They had a great music selection! Which added to the nice vibe, met a few regulars at the bar that added to the experience! Great energy between staff and guests overall. I ordered the Sesame Asian Chopped Salad Togo! Portion size was fantastic and the flavors were amazing! Definitely crave able! I can't wait to go again! Definitely has been added to my rotation of favorite places and their happy hour is a must!

Leslie is the best server in Orange County. I've lived here for 28 years and never encountered anyone as kind and personable as her. All 4 stars are for her!Food is mediocre at best. If you're a true sushi fan this isn't your place.

My favorite spot for Opium Hour and libations is a rare gem that offers happy hour seven days a week, from 3-6pm--a dream for any cocktail and food lover! I recently visited both the Newport and Laguna locations on back-to-back days, and to my delight, the cocktail menus weren't identical. At the Newport location, the Maui Water stole the show as my favorite drink, while in Laguna, I couldn't get enough of the Buddha's Kiss and the Starfish Cooler, which tasted just like a gummy bear. The food was equally impressive, especially the dry rub ribs--not on the happy hour menu but absolutely worth the splurge. Everything else on the happy hour menu was delicious, with so many great options I can't even list them all. I'm already counting down the days until my next visit!‍Pirate's PearEnlightenment Lychee martiniBuddha's kissEspresso martini Starfish cooler- gummy bearPornstar martini Thai strawberry breezeSpicy Ahi tuna rollHalf rack dry rub ribsSaigon Summer roll Soft shell crab banh mi sliders

I've been coming here off and on for many years. When I use to drink alcohol it was amazing for the craft cocktails and their names. Now, it's nostalgic reasons and to have food. To be honest food is just okay as most likely won't return again as I've given it 3 separate attempts. Most recently I got sashimi, a sushi roll (can't remember name) and the shrimp kung pao. The side of coconut rice was my favorite part of meal sadly. Ambience and decor is epic, love it hence the higher star rating. Service is always great.

My friend met me at Starfish in Laguna Beach to celebrate my birthday. Right after we sat down, our server Brandon met us with complimentary sparkling and flat water. We decided to order the Wok Fired Edamame while we looked over the menu. The edamame is really delicious. There is plenty of garlic in this dish that really compliments the edamame. We decided to split the Crispy Lobster Spring Roll and the Kung Pao Prawns. Do yourself a favor and order the lobster spring roll. It is a little pricey but worth every penny. The roll is filled with large chunks of lobster and comes with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce. The Kung Pao Prawns are also delicious that include lots of veggies and peanuts and is just the right amount of spicy. Brandon was informed by my friend that we were celebrating my birthday, so at the end of our meal he surprised us with a delicious dark chocolate covered ball of strawberry mousse at no charge. It was a beautiful sunny day sitting out on the front patio with a good friend dining on great food. We will definitely be back.

We went there for opium hour and it did not disappoint. I was afraid that they would be so busy to seat us but we got in easy breezy. I love the vibe, it's like an eclectic Asian supper club inside (not out in the patio). Stephanie was our server and did a good job. The food came out rather quickly which was probably a good thing because we were hungry folks.We ordered quite a few dishes: mixed herb calamari, sunset roll, Korean tacos, Saigon summer roll, mint Thai chicken roll, star nigiri, and steak satays. It's hard to say which ones were my favorite because they all were very good in different ways. You can't go wrong with the steak satays, sunset rolls, and mint Thai chicken roll for sure. They have such an extensive menu during 3-6 pm that there's something for everyone.

Starfish is amazing for their small plates plus sushi and entrées. I was meaning to make a review so many times and Everything we had was so delicious. What a great experience to celebrate my engagement with my sister. Thank you starfish

This is a great stop if you're in the area. Lots of yummy options to choose from. Drinks are on point, staff is attentive, and the food is delicious. If you're a big fan of spicy get the Chili Fire wontons! Best I've had by far. The Chix Satay has a really good Peanut sauce that it's served with.They do have Happy hour, take reservations, and are kid friendly. They have bar seating, inside tables, and a small covered patio area which is where they seemed to sit larger parties. Inside can be a little dark, but that is part of their ambiance. I've heard great things about their sushi, but haven't had a chance to try yet.

Another amazing experience always love our visitors here, good food and ambience great service staff

My husband and I came back for a second visit to Starfish and it was just as fantastic as the first time!! We love the variety of the menu! There are many great choices and prices on the Opium hour menu! The rolls here are so so good! We have yet to try some of the other dinner options other than the crab wontons (which were amazing btw) because the rolls are so delicious. The drinks are great too! A big thank you to Connor. We adore this place, but the best part is having Leslie as our server! She always is so sweet and has such great suggestions! Her smile is infectious and she is such a breath of fresh air. She really adds to the dining experience and we cannot wait to come back.
