About Starfish Newport

Starfish Newport is a pan-Asian restaurant in Laguna Beach, noted for its fish-forward menu and offerings of sushi, salads, Asian small plates, and traditional Chinese and Japanese entrees. The service is commendable, and the ambience is pleasant, though the seating area is somewhat limited. Diners are advised to specify their spice tolerance as the spicy dishes are authentic. Standouts include the tasty braised pork bun and the option to have broth served separately.

The restaurant has received positive reviews, with customers praising the friendly and attentive service, as well as the delicious menu items. Many customers with allergies have noted that the staff takes good care of them. Recent highlights include the Lobster macadamia roll and Crab California roll, both of which were praised for their freshness and the nice spice flavor from the siracha aioli. The Cambodian black pepper filet with coconut rice has also been recommended for its perfect tenderness. Desserts like the bread pudding have been described as rich and well-cooked.

The happy hour has garnered attention for great food and excellent service. Customers have enjoyed the green curry sauce on the wok fried mussels, which has been called incredible. Starfish Newport continues to impress diners with its great portions, perfect flavors, and affordable prices, making it a popular choice for those craving Asian food.
