   Overall we liked this place, Although if we come back it may be for drinks and snacks. Appetizers were good, hummus, ordered more pita, and green beans, korean sauce, also delicious. We liked our food, comment on the fried rice was spicy, flavorful, not a lot of chicken, a noodle dish which I forget what it was called was the same comment. I had the walleye, green curry, I have to say I loved the components of this dish, the curry was delicious, I think the walleye should have been a filet as opposed to pieces. My thought. The burger looked wonderful, my friend said it was very good, but then she eats them medium so??? Can I believe it? Drinks, the martini, ok this is for every ** mixologist** out here! A martini up, shaken gin/vodka over ice, vigorously, poured into a chilled martini glass, not a dollhouse glass, swirled with dry vermouth, then dumped, enter olives, a twist, or onions, (gibson) Y'all just can't get the hang of it!! The most basic of a cocktail but it has to be done correctly! The space is cute, I hope they do well, As I said I'm not sure we are the target audience. We felt prices a bit high for the content for our food but these are trying times with food costs. No dessert was offered. (at least I didn't hear this)

   First time visiting, and Starling did not disappoint! Everything was amazing. From the chicken wings (5 spice and fish sauce caramel), the hummus, all 3 tacos (chicken, steak and pork) and the chicken yakisoba! No complaints. The chicken yakisoba was spicier than expected, so either you'll appreciate that or you won't. I did. Others did not. The chicken tacos were the best. None were bad. But the pork weren't anything unique. Only complaint I could come up with is the parking lot. It's tiny AND the spots are even small. Will go back though.

   $10 for valet parking and then told they expect a tip is unusual for Edina. A big turn off and unexpected not to free parking The walleye was over cooked Large service portions for salad, fried rice and noodle dishes Suggest the server mention dishes that are shareable

   Took 15 mins just to get seated despite making a reservation as there was no one at host desk. Then food did not come for over 45 mins and scallion pancake was undercooked and poached egg was overcooked. I got sick for about 24 hours after this meal. Very disappointing!

   Food was delicious and tasty, service was exceptional, and restaurant is very nice. Only issue we had was deciding what to order because everything sounded great, so we'll have to be back. Might also come back with more people so we can try the bo ssam!!

    The food was mediocre and was very expensive. Our server was friendly but forgot to bring drinks until we asked. One of the dishes we ordered was given to another table that ordered the same dish so they had to make it and it took so long that we had already finished eating our other food. Overall, the restaurant is beautiful but the food and service was mediocre at best. We do not anticipate going back again.
