Reviews Summary
Star Anise offers a stylish, modern dining experience with artfully plated Thai cuisine and a welcoming ambiance that many find 'Instagram-able.' While the presentation and atmosphere receive high marks, some diners note that the food can be average or slightly disappointing, with occasional issues like excessive saltiness or a lack of distinct flavor. Service can also vary, particularly during peak times, though many praise the attentiveness and friendliness of the staff.
"This is the best Thai food I've ever had!! Fantastically prepared & presented with great service. Prices reflect the quality, but not mad given the large portions. Great place for family or friends sit-down dinner."

"Happened to stop by Livermore and passed by this restaurant on Black Friday. The restaurant is cute. We were served with complimentary miso tofu soup which was comforting for the cold weather. Ordered the pad see ew and yellow curry with chicken. Both were good but the yellow curry was slightly salty. Overall a decent meal on a Friday in downtown Livermore"
Amitha Pious
"Food smelled of too much fish. Not acceptable considering many are allergic to sea food. Taste is average or slightly above, nothing compelling."
