Strait’s Asian fusion restaurant offers a delectable menu that blends traditional Asian flavors with modern twists. After 10 PM, the dining experience transforms into a vibrant cocktail bar and lounge, featuring a club-like atmosphere with pulsating music. It’s the perfect spot for an enjoyable meal that seamlessly transitions into a lively night out!

Stopped by here for a quick small bite and drinks.
Vibes were fun inside. Felt like I was in Miami.
We went with the espresso martini and a lychee martini. The espresso martini used the local Vietnamese iced coffee brand for their base. Sweet and tasty. Lychee martini was really strong so it got the buzz going.
For food, we got the Kaya toast. Didn’t expect it to be green, but it still tasted really good!

Have been here many times. Here this time with an out of town friend. A good variety of Asian and American foods. Delicious food. Service can be slow.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Straits on Santana Row truly delivers a Michelin-quality experience from start to finish. The food, the service, and the atmosphere are all exceptional.
We were warmly welcomed by the manager, Kim, who is not only hilarious but clearly passionate about the menu. She shared how much thought and care goes into each dish — including trying 20 different versions of the egg coffee dip to make sure it matched the original in Vietnam. That level of dedication really shows.
Our servers, Enrique and Megan, were attentive and friendly throughout the meal, checking in often and making sure we had everything we needed.
As for the food — every dish blew us away. The black pepper garlic rib eye was my favorite: incredibly tender, packed with umami, and paired with rice and corn that soaked up every drop of the flavorful glaze. I would honestly order it again just for the rice.
We also tried the garlic noodles with shrimp (hands down the best garlic noodles I’ve ever had), the rich and comforting laksa, and the banana leaf salmon with mango salad — all equally impressive.
Don’t skip dessert! The lychee panna cotta and mango kulfi float were both light, refreshing, and perfect for a summer day.
To top it all off, Straits is very dog-friendly. We sat on the shaded patio with our little Maltese and they treated him like a VIP — bringing out water, a puppacino, and even unseasoned chicken just for him.
We will absolutely be coming back — and bringing all our friends. Straits is a gem!

Straits is a Singaporean, Asian fusion gem on Santana Row. The staff is very knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive, something that lacks in many restaurants these days. While the restaurant has a large inside and bar area (club-like, so just keep that in mind), I highly recommend the outside seating when the weather is nice out (don’t worry they have heaters). Their happy hour is AMAZING, so jump in on SEVEN DAYS A WEEK (unheard of!). Not only are the prices fantastic, but they have a large range of drinks and food that are included. They don’t skimp on the portion size either. Now the food and drink recs!:
– Lemongrass highball: even if you’re not a bourbon lover, it’s well-balanced and packs a punch
– Crispy chicken “lollipops”: large, perfectly fried and the honey chili sauce…chef’s kiss
– Spicy street noodles: sizable shrimp and tofu, awesome flavor and spice, I wish I wasn’t slipping this dish
– Beef rendang: the braised beef had some good flavor, but parts of it were super tough and dry. Winning part of the dish was the coconut curry polenta at the bottom. It was a fantastic flavor and texture to add to the dish.
Great meal and experience. Can’t wait to come back and try all of the other happy hour dishes!

I visited this restaurant for a team lunch, and it’s located in a nice spot with pleasant decor. They offer a separate vegetarian menu with a wide range of options, from starters to main courses, featuring South Asian-style dishes. The corn fritters, spring rolls, and garlic fries were tasty, but the crispy cauliflower was missing the expected batter coating. The street-style noodles in the main course were a bit too sticky, though the veg fried rice was enjoyable. However, considering the price, the food didn’t quite meet expectations. Service was slow and lacked efficiency, with only one person taking orders and serving. They also didn’t take our main course order until we’d finished the starters. Overall, the experience was decent but not outstanding.

Very disappointing experience.
I ordered the Black Peppered Garlic Rib Eye (Steak & Rice) and it was completely tasteless. The dish had no flavor at all, which was surprising for something described as peppered and garlicky.The rice mixed with corn tasted mostly like corn and didn’t complement the dish at all.For the price and expectations, this was really disappointing. I won’t be going back there again.

Straits is like a club vibe restaurant that I think feels more like a club atmosphere the later in the night you go. The women who work here are all beautiful, giving the club vibe. I came with three coworkers of mine, about 7 minutes before happy hour ended. We told the hostess we wanted happy hour so she sat us in the happy hour area. When we went to order, the waitress told us we had to sit in the happy hour area and moved us again to another table/area.
As I was looking at a happy hour menu and about to order to the waiter, a lady came and took the menu out of my hands. She then went across the table to remove the menu from my friend’s hands and thankfully they said something (unlike me bc l’m scared of confrontation in any form). The waitress who was taking the menus said this was not the area for happy hour and happy hour was over. It was 5:58 and happy hour ends at 6 so technically we still had time to put an order in. We told them how we already moved tables for happy hour and thankfully our waiter Luis saved the day as he was willing to accommodate our happy hour order. If it wasn’t for him, we would have not gotten it bc the lady was dead set on making us move again and telling us happy hour was over.
As a business you can either happily invite people to come in and quickly get a last happy hour bite or rudely make it difficult for people to squeeze in a happy hour order and I feel like Straits did the later. It was an unwelcoming vibe and the waitresses didn’t seem to know where happy hour was taking place.
Is the food good? Yes. The corn fritters and chicken lollipops are always my go tos. The fries are good w the dips and the garlic noodles were good. Happy hour vodka drink was decent too just a bit sweet.
Overall, I don’t know how to feel about this place. Luis saved the day so I’m thankful they have some caring employees, but I’m scared to go now and not have him bc it would’ve been a completely different experience.

Came here for a quick bite before exploring the rest of the area. Straits during the day is a very chill place to hang out and grab a couple of drinks. Their bar is pretty big and has a good selection of alcohol that could accommodate anyone’s preference. The drinks were great and they do not skimp on the alcohol. The small bites we received were just alright, but if you’re hungry when it turns into a club, they will hit the spot. The atmosphere here is cool and upbeat, and the service, while a bit slow, compliments the vibe they are trying to set. Overall, an alright place that’s not too pricey for what you get.

This restaurant has always been an enigma to me. Been here several times, and I always walk away thinking the food is too sweet, and the attempt to be a restaurant and a night club really doesn’t work, as they are mediocre at both. Plenty of other options at Santana Row.
