Straits Restaurant

The chicken in my laksa was pretty dry. My friend got Hainanese chicken and some of it was pretty dry too. Everything else was very good. The soup and the noodles in the laksa were good. And the roti prata was good!

Straits had nice decor and a huge bar but the food we had was somewhat lacking. The only item we chowed down on so fast we almost hurt ourselves because of how fresh off the kitchen and temperature hot it was was the roti prata. It was crispy and flaky on the outside but delectably soft on the inside. Dipping sauce was good but a tad salty. Now comes the not so good part. The char kuey teow was kinda overly moist. This dish should be ‘charred’ somewhat dry. It was a small serving in a small dish for $24. A little on the pricier side. The Hainanese chicken rice was mixed. My husband said my chicken rice was better. I really like the tenderness of the chicken. It was cooked t perfection. The biggest disappointment was the sauce that accompanied the dish. The chili sauce didn’t appear or taste home made and was severely lacking. The grated ginger was ok. The soy sauce tasted like it came straight out of a Kikkoman bottle and was thick and salty. It should have been diluted with the broth

I came here to Straits Restaurant for the first time and actually enjoyed it here! My friend wanted us to meet her here for her birthday celebration. Definitely one of the most beautiful restaurants in Santana Row location! Plenty of seatings, full bar options with lots of Cocktails, and the food is flavorful and delicious! Our orders includes: Chicken Lollipops, Garlic Noodles, Coconut Shrimps Fried Rice, Hainan Chicken Rice, Crispy Calamari, Crispy Cauliflower, Tuna Tar Tar, Spicy Street Noodles, and my favorite was the Combination Pad Thai which I ordered and absolutely enjoyed!???? The Combination Pad Thai came with Beef, Chicken, Prawns, and Tofu! Yum!???? Overall I like the Awesome Ambiance and Atmospheres. Definitely would love to come back here again! Great Food and Nice Restaurant!
