Star Anise Thai Cuisine Reviews
This is the best Thai food around,always so fresh and delicious. The Papaya salad is the best I've ever had. There is a hidden little garden retreat at the back of the restaurant that you have to see it's part of the condo complex.
Fantastic Thai cuisine served in a cozy and modern setting. The dishes burst with flavors, and no single spice overwhelms the taste. We requested a spicy level, and it was perfectly balanced. The portions are generous, featuring an abundance of vegetables. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful.
