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!

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!

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.

We've been here before years back, and the food and drinks were really good back then. I was disappointed with the food quality, and portions as well. The $14 kaya toast was the first disappointment with a slab of butter just stuffed into a light pandan-coocnut jam smeared on plain bread. The second was the $24 mee goreng which was basically tomatoes sauteed with very little noodles. The Chicken lollipops were okay, and the drinks were decent.

We were at this place last night... great atmosphere in the lounge area, good music, excellent alcoholic drinks. There were two of us and we sat in the lounge area and ate something from their menu. I recommend this place if you want to spend some time enjoying good music, having some appetizers and drinking good drinks. 🥂🍾

Just got back from Straits on Santana Row – interesting place! It definitely has a club-like vibe, especially later in the evening. Happy hour was a mixed bag; we almost missed it completely because they kept trying to move us. Luis, our waiter, was a lifesaver – really helpful and accommodating. The chicken lollipops were incredible, huge portions too. But Maryam was right, the ribeye was totally bland, and that was a huge letdown considering the price. Parking was okay, but it got pretty crowded. Honestly, the atmosphere felt a little chaotic. I’d stick to the appetizers and cocktails – maybe ask for extra spice!

The menu has typical Singaporean dishes but some are executed quite inauthentically. The pohpia was served freezing cold, obviously pre-prepared, in the wrong wrapper. The paratha was drenched in oil and too crisp.
However, the laksa and char kway teow stood the test.
Music was too loud, the restaurant would rather be a nightclub also judging by waitress attire so some marks are due for entertainment.

Loved the food and the whole vibe of the place. Perfect spot for a dance-filled evening, and the service was truly excellent.

I’ve been coming here for 5 years and always enjoyed the place, but the experience lately has gone downhill. Bartenders have started demanding tips upfront despite providing no service. Even after calling them multiple times, they don’t attend to you and then get offended when no tip is given. This behavior is getting out of hand. Please do better.
We had an overall satisfying experience but they charged us too much on drinks - things that we didn't order, which I realized too late unfortunately. We had two waiters for our table who didn't seem to communicate quite well with each other about our orders. Other than that a great restaurant with good drinks!
