Straits Restaurant Santa Clara Reviews
Our first time here & we loved it! Ashley was amazing.
She was super attentive and so sweet! We're from Sacramento just looking for a good apps & drink spot & so glad we came across this place! The brunch spam fried rice on the brunch menu was amazing, as were the crispy wontons! :)
Enjoyed a nice dinner out with great food and excellent
Enjoyed a nice dinner out with great food and excellent service from our server, Jessica. We enjoyed the Chinese chicken salad, Hainan chicken, and yellow curry. Everything was very flavorful. Food came out quickly. Jessica was attentive and charismatic!

I have been coming here for as long as I can remember, for at least 20 years. Santana Row has always been a hit or miss type place. Sometimes is is super quiet and other times, it is a really fun vibe/scene. When the weather gets warm, this is the spot to be. Grab some pepper garlic noodles (it was a bit overpowering with too much pepper tho) and spicy & salted chicken wings, drinks and bring your friends to have a good time! You come here to have a good time with your friends, versus a fine dining type spot. Be sure to get reservations on the weekend. s/o to our server Preston, who took care of our table on the patio. i left the left overs with the front desk hostess, so my friend and I could walk around Santana Row and Valley Fair, and when I came back to pick up my food, Preston remembered my name still. Great customer service! There used to be a location in SF and Burlingame, but both have since closed.

I'm not sure why the rating here is low because this is our favourite Singaporean restaurant. We've been here a handful of different times since we moved to the Bay Area and the food has been consistently good. If it is any added reassurance, my husband grew up in Singapore and Straits has his stamp of approval. Throughout our visits we've had: Roti Prata - 5/5 got this for my 5yo daughter but was very tempted to steal it for myself after trying it Beef Rendang - 5/5 so far my favourite dish here. Deliciously coconutty and rich in flavour. Beef is super tender -- a must try! Lemongrass Beef - 5/5 very very delicious and flavourful. I don't know if I'll order it again because it's more on the pricy side and their other dishes are equally delicious, but it's definitely worth trying at least once! Side bowl of hiananese chicken rice - 5/5 we actually wanted to get the Hainanese chicken dish, but they were out of the chicken so we got just the side rice for our daughter. This was SUPER flavourful and now I'm itching to taste the actual chicken itself! We've ordered a handful of other chicken & beef dishes that I cannot for the life of me remember right now. But all you really need to know is that no matter what you order here, it'll certainly be good. I should also add that we always come here with our 2 young kids and Straits' dim, loungey vibe has not made the experience any less ideal. As long as their service, flavour, and quality is consistent, we will continue to be back here!
Expensive, average taste.
Arrogant, poor service. It is definitely not worth it. I don't recommend it.

The food was good, and the restaurant itself was a nice vibe. Would have merited a five star food experience, but - Our main course came out maybe 5-10 minutes before we got our appetizer - We ordered non alcoholic drinks with our meal, never got them. By the time we realized this we had already finished the main and were wrapping up the appetizer - Please just call your Fries Fries... don't try to be confusing people with the word "Frites".... Also, music was so loud I couldn't talk to the person across the table from me :/
I was looking forward to eating here after hearing about it
I was looking forward to eating here after hearing about it from one of my colleagues. The restaurant is in Santana Row which can make parking challenging but not impossible. The seating in the restaurant was split between tables and a lounge area. I loved the accent lighting and decorations. The service was quick and really nice. Their menu was pretty extensive so I tried to order what I saw was popular on Yelp. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the oyster appetizer. Super fresh and we loved the vinegar sauce. The roti appetizer was delicious but small. I wish it was bigger because it was so good. Moving onto the entrees, we got the garlic noodles and shaking beef. The beef was more on the rare side which I didn't mind but maybe take note of that if you like it cooked differently. The garlic noodles had a lot of pepper which overpowered the garlic in my opinion. Overall, it was a fun dining experience! I want to come back for their happy hour or bottomless mimosas.
Not only was the food amazing, but the servers were
Not only was the food amazing, but the servers were incredibly friendly and accommodating. After a minor error in the kitchen, Ajit, the server for my table, gave a full refund for one of the dishes we had ordered. I'm very grateful to have had such an attentive server!

We really liked what we saw from the outside, so we decided to try Straits out. We sat at the bar and waited longer than we should have, as we watched the bar tenders talking amongst each other. We did finally flag down one of the guys and orders 2 cocktails. The drinks came in a timely manner and as ordered. Once again trying to order a small bite was challenging. Bartenders talking to each other while customers waited. Finally ordered the chicken lollipops. I regret it, as they were tough and not very good at all. These bartenders should take a customer service class. I do not recommend the Straight.
I've been to Santana Row many times, but this was my first
I've been to Santana Row many times, but this was my first time at Straits! Came for happy hour and was pleasantly surprised. I think I've always heard that Straits was not the greatest in Santana Row so I've never felt too compelled to try. Happy hour was great here! The vibes are nice, they play pretty loud music and it is well decorated inside. Service is a bit slow but if you come with people you enjoy spending time with, it doesn't feel like forever until they bring you the utensils and water like they said they would. I had the Pimms Cup, which was tasty. For food we tried the Korean Fried Chicken, Poh Pia Spring Rolls, Pork Belly Sliders, and Curried Cauliflower. All of it was yummy but our favorites were the spring rolls and cauliflower, we ordered those twice. For the fairly low review of Straits, I enjoyed my time and experience here and would come back for happy hour!

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Straits Restaurant Santa Clara at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Straits Restaurant Santa Clara page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Straits Restaurant Santa Clara to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Straits Restaurant Santa Clara!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
