Worth for a try – we ordered Banana Blossom Salad, Grilled Beef in Grape Leaf , Spicy Basil Chicken, and garlic noodle..they are all pretty good and reasonable priced. One problem is that the salad came last, which i thought should be come first. The waiters are attentive.
So Over-Rated! – The music is so loud in the main dining area, you can't hear your partner. The pepper lobster is divine. The rest--awful. The drinks, for $9, completely lack taste and any sense of alcohol. The service is hit or miss. I ordered Poh Pia because my daughter likes shrimp. I dismantled them tonight, and among the 4 rolls, there was 1/4 of a shrimp. This place is so over-rated it's ridiculous. Even as a singles scene...I just don't get it. Don't waste your time going here. It's expensive and so not worth it.
excellent – I went for lunch and the food and service were impeccable! The banana dessert was superb!
User review by nigelbonacci – With so many pan asian out there, it's hard to decide which I would go back to. Straights is classy, fun, and offers a dynamic menu. But I think it's becomming too corporate and therefore, the food does'nt have the personal touch of the chef as some of the noncoporate pan asian out there. I would recommend it as least once.
The pad thai was a bit salty – and the service wasn't great but the atmosphere was great for a lazy Sunday afternoon. Not my favorite place but I'd definitely go back.
User review by aha – I went to find what the hype was about. Not much. The bar is great but the dining was awful. The only thing my waitor brought me quick was my bill while I was still chewing and a fork in my hand. I went for brunch, the meat came half raw and it took 30 minutes just to come out so imagine my horror of waiting for a n ew one to be cooked. Tables that came in 20 mintues after me ordered, got their food, and were eating before I got my meat. Sad.
Go to Straits Cafe-Santana Row – We were seated promptly, but the restaurant was very busy--I think we got lucky. Everything we ordered had great flavors; Banana Flower salad--awesome, Green Curry vegatables and Sashimi were very good. The service was outstanding despite a very busy restaurant. Also, the Mangopolitan was yummy. I've been to Straits-Santana Row several times and it is consistantly excellent.
Better for Drinks and Lounging – The food here is only okay- a little contrived. Ambiance is great- the place is always packed and crawling with young singles. In the evenings, there's a live DJ. My bad experience here was when I was having dinner and forgot my i.d. I ordered wine, and was halfway through with my glass when a man (I suspect either the owner or manager) comes over and cards us!!! This has never happened to me in a restaurant before. When he learned I didn't have it with me, he proceeded to take away my wine. ... read more
unique spot – the vegetables are great & fresh, love the sea bass packet :) and garlic noodles. the pepper crab was too salty. service was slow, we waited almost 50 mins. for a party of 6. that ambience is great, nice place to unwind or to get a drink before a night on the town
