Alise Restaurant & Banquet (Starfish Restaurant)

The live crawfish boil was possibly made in a Vietnamese fusion style which was buttery sweet spicy. The crawfish were fresh, firm, and great. The razor clams didn't quite seem as good, not sure about freshness but a bit salty. While the service is kind and fast, the food can be hit or miss. The atmosphere shows that it's still under renovation, the decor doesn't look to be finished just yet.

Need improvement on the menu and the quality of food

I did not know food portions could be cut so thin and be so tough. I should have known something was wrong when I was the only customer at 12:30 pm on a Wednesday. I will never eat here again! No mistake, waitress gave me the Starfish menu to order from, and you had a banner hanging out front advertising the name change.

The girls were so respectful and welcoming.

I usually don't give reviews, but this place is so bad that I have to make a public service announcement. I called and placed an order for a large cat fish for take-out, but instead got a small to medium size catfish. The fish was bland and the sauces were horrible. They ruined my favorite dish, I would slap them with a fat zero if I could.

My company held a Christmas dinner here last night. It was my first time eating here and i must say, the foods were delicious. We had our private event room in the back. We had the 7 course meal which included crabmeat soup (great), chicken, fish, lobster noodles(awesome), fried rice, steak etc. All the dishes were tasty and just right. I will definitely come back and recommend this place.

This is the best Vietnamese Restaurant around the OC. Seriously, everything I've eaten here has been delicious and fresh. I can't say enough about their Tamarind Fish Soup and their Catfish in Claypot. Also their soda xi moui is my go to drink. I will eventually explore their fresh seafood boils, but I go there for comfort food. Go here, you will not be remotely dissatisfied. 10 stars, keep up the great work!
