Reviews for Straits Restaurant in San Jose, CA
The initial flavor was good but the food was way too salty. After the first couple of bites, my mouth started to numb a bit and... I had to keep drinking water. The braised pork belly buns were tasty. Service was pleasant and our waitress was attentive, butdon’t understand why all the waitresses dressed like they were going clubbing … it was Sunday brunch and some wore straplesstops. Is the restaurant encouraging this? Seems inappropriate for a restaurant setting. Read more

We went on Friday for girls night out. We had an amazing night. Food was good, ambience was nice with good selection of music.... Our server Jordon was amazing, he was engaging & funny, his suggestion for dessert was on point. We had Pandan Mango Cake & LavaCake???? Definitely good place to hang out with friends, have drinks at the bar & chill by their lounge side. Read more
Friendly server. Good ambience. However, the food portion is rather small. And as a Malaysian, I'd have higher expectations for... the authenticity of the food. Some food are pretty authentic. Not all. Popia portion is REALLY small. Read more
Very nice sport bar and had lots of fun . Ambience is good and decor . Visited in Friday night in Covid days but there is no... Covid inside ????.People are enjoying their parties . Lots of big groups parties and that will make family dinner service slowbut later our server told us sorry and took care things . But ya don't go in if you see big groups. You need advance booking .We were lucky to get table while in wait list . Food is also good . They have separate vegetarian menu. Little expensive butgood . Read more
Superb place for hang out! Read full review! 1. Ambience: Sport bar vibe with great decor overall. Music is extremely loud and... inside seating is pretty noisy. Good for large groups of friends 2. Food: Bomb pork ribs!! Chicken is lovely too. Food is 10/10overall. Drinks are nice. Service is quick (10-15mins after ordering) 3. Outdoor seating maybe less noisy and heaters areprovided. Read more
Great service. Staff was friendly and attentive. Drinks are fairly poured and well mixed. They also have a nice selection of... high end wines and champagne. With regard to the food I highly recommend the sashimi. It is fresh and delicious. Hubs had butterchicken with coconut rice. It was also really good. The menu has a little something for everyone. Asian, Indian, seafood andsoups and salads. The restaurant was pretty busy but if you don't mind sitting and eating at the bar, that's the way to go.Highly recommend! Read more
First time in Santana Row. They have many restaurants to choose from but decided on Strait. Really nice atmosphere, friendly... service, delicious cocktails and good food. We decided to sample a variety of their appetizers and a salad. I highly recommendtheir watermelon steak salad, lollipop chicken wings and Roti Prata, Indian flatbread. The dishes were delicious. We alsoordered their chicken satay but didn’t care for them. I didn’t like the after taste. I couldn’t put my finger on thelingering spice I tasted. The only odd thing I observed, the hostess attire. Why are their dresses so short and tight?? I hopeit’s their choice and not imposed. In my opinion it’s not suitable attire for a restaurant at 3pm in the afternoon. Read more
