What People Are Saying About Straits Restaurant

The Scene – It's a sleeker, more sophisticated space than the first two outposts of this beloved Bay Area mini-chain. Befitting its Santana Row locale, the glamorous space is all glitz--sleek Balinese furniture and antique gongs are juxtaposed with industrial stainless steel and lots of hard surfaces. The crowd is suitably posh, multicultural and youthful. – – The Food – Back in 1987, the first Straits Cafe introduced San Franciscans to cuisine that was an exotic coalescing of flavors from China, Malaysia, India and Indonesia.

Good but not great..

by aubinit

Food isn't bad but there are better places in Santana Row.

There is a lot of hype about Straights; truth is it's OK.

There is ALWAYS a looong wait; regardless if they're busy or not.

Prices are pretty steep and portions are pretty small..

  • Pros: Good Mojitos
  • Cons: Small Portions; Long Wait; High Prices

Fabulous Food / Fun Experience

by mambo5678

The only down I can think of is dining at Straits with just one other person, for two people cannot possibly order enough dishes: the more you get to taste, the better the experience.

There were six of us, so we tried, seriously, 12 different dishes, all fabulous!

I wanted more of the Black Pepper Lobster and garlic noodles -- they were great!

  • Cons: We were there to eat; why waste a good dining experience hoping to find a date?

average and overpriced food

by cbtran04

The food was okay I've had better at other pan Asian restaurants. The one thing that I really enjoy is that the live music is great, but very loud. I was barely able to hear the person next to me.

  • Pros: live music, full bar
  • Cons: very loud, pricey
