The Star Thai & Sushi Venice

We came here on a recommendation , and it was well worth it! They have a great white board waiting list system right outside their door, with chairs so the inside does not get crowded… as the crowds are very heavy here. We waited about 15 min for a table for two. We stuck with the sushi menu and went a little crazy ordering as everything looked incredible. They also give you a marker and you can write on the menu which items you like. The quality is excellent. We truly enjoyed our experience here. I highly recommend it!

Dining at The Star Thai Sushi in Venice this past Friday was an unforgettable experience. Despite the bustling crowd due to Good Friday, the restaurant managed to deliver exceptional service. The dinner presentation was simply stunning, almost too beautiful to devour, but the freshness and flavor were irresistible. Breaking away from our usual sushi routine, we ventured into new territory with the Crazy Roll, Venice Roll, and an old favorite, the Bucc-n-Roll. We also indulged in some fresh scallop, hamachi, white tuna, and mackerel sashimi, all of which were incredibly fresh and delicious. However, the Crazy Roll's perfect level of spiciness and the exquisite taste of the Venice Roll, along with its beauty, truly stood out. The evening was complemented by delightful drinks including sangria and wine, followed by soothing green tea. Just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite, champagne and a delectable dessert arrived. The fried cheesecake paired with Thai donuts was an indulgent treat, leaving us thoroughly satisfied. Meeting Chef Mike was a highlight, as we had the chance to express our appreciation for the outstanding establishment he oversees. The friendly atmosphere cultivated by the staff further enhanced the overall dining experience. In summary, a fantastic night filled with exquisite food, drinks, and hospitality at The Star Thai Sushi.

I've had the pleasure of dining at Star Thai Sushi in Venice on numerous occasions over the past two years, and I must say, the restaurant has truly upped its game. The changes in their cuisine, presentation, and service are unmistakable.

One consistent highlight has been the freshness of their dishes. However, during my recent visit, I was pleasantly surprised by a significant upgrade in their presentation.
The food wasn't just delectable; it was also artfully presented . This attention to detail extended beyond my table and seemed to be the standard throughout the bustling restaurant.

What trulv impressed me was the exceptional service. Star Thai Sushi has come a long way from my initial visit, which didn't leave a strong impression. In fact, on my second visit, I didn't even recall having been there before.
But this recent experience had me exclaiming "wow!" The staff was attentive, well-informed, and added to the overall enjoyment of the dining experience.

In summary, the food at Sta Thai Sushi in Venice has consistently been fresh, but the notable enhancements in presentation and service are excellent. If you've been hesitant to return, I highly recommend giving it another shot. Prepare for a delightful and beautifully presented meal, accompanied by attentive service that will undoubtedly leave you impressed.

First time here and I was blown away from the “Mulan” roll. Holy smokes, the best I have ever had from any Sushi spot. This place will not disappoint.

Delicious, Fresh, Beautiful Presentation, Yummy all around. Took my Mother and son there for dinner Easter Sunday. My mother never had Sushi ever she's 87 and now says she never knew what she was missing. We will be back!

Amazing sushi restaurant. The staff is so friendly and quick to come up to take your order. The food comes out pretty quickly after ordering and of course the quality and taste of the food is AMAZING.
So hooked on their sushi haven’t had the chance to try something else yet but I’ve heard everything else is amazing as well.
Would really recommend this place if you are looking for good quality tasting food and wonderful customer service

I love Star Thai & Sushi! I don't like sushi, but what they serve here is art. The presentation is phenomenal, and the customers that I spoke with were really enjoying the taste. My go-to is the Star Fried Rice. I did not take a picture of it this time as I took it to go, but even then, it was nicely presented in the container. The dish consists of rice, chicken, shrimp, pineapple, and cashews, nicely seasoned with yellow curry. There was enough to share. The staff is always friendly and attentive. I can't wait to go back.

Wow! This is one of the best sushi restaurants I have ever eaten at. I would highly suggest star sushi to anyone!

Oh my. First superb sushi in town. Believe me, we are professional speed sushi eaters. This is the spot. We murderer 3 rolls in under 12 minutes. Finished with a chicken pad thai.

It was our first time there, and we loved it! It has a very warm, cozy atmosphere and all of the servers were very welcoming and kind. We had the volcano lava sushi (amazing! Sweet with mild spiciness to it), a salmon poke bowl (delicious!), and massaman curry (the best I’ve ever had!). 10/10 would recommend.

Small and quaint. Very tradional and wonderful hospitality. Sat at sushi counter and asked chef to create what ever he wanted. Best flavor experience. Will be back again and again.

Update: We went a second time and it was just as excellent as the first time. The waitress even remembered us! I love the tuna poke bowl so much that I had to get it again. Great little place!

I haven’t had sushi this good in a very long time. The food was amazing and beautifully plated. The staff was excellent and very kind. Will definitely be back!

There is nothing negative to say about this place. Food, service, atmosphere are always 5/5. The sushi chef (wish I got his name, maybe Michael?) loves what he does and takes pride in beautiful presentation and flavor. Best sushi ever and when I come from Michigan, my mom and I won't go anywhere else!

The sushi was excellent! We had the crunchy tuna.

This is absolutely amazing… the food is fresh, the service is amazing, and I even like the wine selection. Get the Mexican roll and the egg rolls. Also the pad tai and the curry are amazing!! Mike the Chef continues to make this my favorite spot!

Best Thai food in the area! It is not just the taste, plates decoration it is just magic. Volcanoes rolls, Sarasota rolls are just perfect. Please just go and try a bite, you won't regret it.

Great place for a date night. Fantastic sushi! Eric even made me a roll that wasn't on the menu, best sushi I have ever had. Service is phenomenal. Everything had delicious flavor. I'll be back as much as possible.

The sushi was phenomenal! The ingredients were fresh and the rolls were spot on. This is one of the best sushi spots in all of Sarasota county.

Wow! What an amazing experience! The food was outstanding, our server was really sweet and our sushi chef was AMAZING!!! We had sushi and Thai food and everything was delicious!!! The chef even made us a special treat to try! We will definitely be back! I HIGHLY recommend! If you havent tried Star Thai, you are really missing out.

Let chef Mikey just do his thing. Best sushi I have had in a very long time

Best Thai food in Venice! Pad Thai is my favorite. Always comes out perfect. Huge portions. Never a bad experience. It's fun watching them make the sushi rolls, especially during dinner rush. Praise to the Chef. Hard work, and it shows.
