Star Leaf — New Thai Fusion in Pasadena | Where to Dine for Qixi 💕

📍 Star Leaf 641 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena Met up with girlfriends at this Thai fusion spot — beautiful ambiance with indoor & outdoor seating. 💰 Mid to high pricing — we ordered 4 drinks + 8 dishes, about $90 per person after tip. Overall flavors were solid, service was attentive (they changed our plates 3 times 😂). ⭐️ Recommended Dishes ❤️ Pork Collar — slightly sweet, tender and chewy pork. Wrapped with greens to cut the richness. ❤️ Sea Bass — incredibly delicate meat with a light, refreshing sauce (similar to BAKA wild salmon). Only downside: portion was small 😭 ❤️ Tom Yum Soup — served with a fun tableside presentation and story! Generous portion and delicious — a must-try! 🥘 Skip This Roasted chicken — flavor was too mild, nothing special. Mango sticky rice — pretty but the rice wasn’t soft or sticky enough 😭 Missing that classic texture. 🍸 Cocktails All three we tried were great — light and refreshing! Lychee Martini (sweet) + Peacock (spicy) were our favorites — you can’t go wrong! #ThaiFood #DateNightSpot #RestaurantRecommendation #LAFoodExploration #VibeRestaurant
