Marie WilliamsJune 30, 2012Try brunch. The crab Benedict (served w/ greens & asparagus, no English muffin and spicy Asian hollandaise) is bomb. Also try the rose (as in flower) mimosa. Nice twist on the classic with rose syrup.UpvoteDownvote
Jodee CherneyAugust 17, 2013I loved this restaurant. A great option before the movies. Yes, it isn't as hip because its in the mall but great food, drinks, and happy hour. The banana blossom salad is fabulous!!UpvoteDownvote
Dan EllisJune 10, 2013Can't say how the normal dinner is here but happy hour was awesome. Did about 3 rounds of Satay with a buddy + a lot of other good eats. Cheap good drinks.UpvoteDownvote- Elaine CourtneyAugust 18, 2011Pretty decent Singaporean/Asian food. Definitely get chicken satay, chow kuay teo and chicken rice--it's as authentic and lip-smacking good as it gets in SF.UpvoteDownvote
The chicken curry is incredible and enough for two! Get the brown rice and a side of chili paste. Perfection.Upvote3Downvote
Charlie PenaflorOctober 7, 2011Sea Bass. Perfection. Enclosed in a simple hand-made parchment container, nestled in the midst of aromatic juices and berries. So choice.UpvoteDownvote
Norman YamashiroJanuary 11, 2013Good Happy Hour. $3 beers. Garlic noodle appetizer is a big portion. Not like the garlic noodles at that crab joint.$5. 4-7. Wed. 4-close. No HH on Sat.Upvote1Downvote
Natalie PerezMarch 1, 2013Here's a tip: ask for my sister Kyla cause she's the best server...and really easy on the eyes ;)UpvoteDownvote
Ed DioknoAugust 12, 2013Wonderful new cuisine from Singapore in an unlikely location - a shopping mall.UpvoteDownvote
Shally SteckerlApril 21, 2011Try the Stripped Bass - Very crispy, sweet spicy basil chili, plenty of meat, but the best part was the cheek meat!Upvote1Downvote
Ness 🌸💜🌸 MMarch 22, 2013Roti Prata, Mee goreng and Ayam crispy taste authentic Asian fusion. Delicious!Upvote5Downvote
Our server Stephanie is awesome! Can't miss that beautiful lovely smile.UpvoteDownvote
Trevor is the best server, ask for his section! He's easy on the eyes too ;-)Upvote1Downvote
Rock SakéOctober 13, 2011Offering an array of Singaporean flavors, Straits' signature dishes pair well with our ginger-infused Cloud NineTen cocktail.UpvoteDownvote
David PonsfordJune 6, 2010The Murtabak and Satay are very authentic, I lived in Singapore for 2 years, Satay sauce is just like going to Satay Club in Clarke Quay.UpvoteDownvote
wali crowderMarch 13, 2012This place is nice. Happy hour probably the best I've been to when I visit this city.UpvoteDownvote
- Ed DioknoAugust 8, 2013Section left of entrance is quieter than the big room. Singapore sling sings.Upvote1Downvote
Lynda VuongJune 17, 2012Happy hour here is a great desk, but arrive early, gets really crowded!UpvoteDownvote
Sam RFebruary 10, 2013Watch where you get your table, the HVAC trunk line makes your food get cold quickly.UpvoteDownvote
The Ginger Drop is a little slice of heaven right here on earth!UpvoteDownvote

Charles TabangcoraMay 23, 2011They're a little too proud of their food based on the prices. Just go for the drinks.UpvoteDownvote
The Ginger Drop is amazing. Made with house Ginger-infused vodka, it may look frou-frou, but it has a real bite.Upvote2Downvote
Only worth going to for the Happy Hour...nothing else.Upvote1Downvote
David CrawfordJune 26, 2011Disconnect between kitchen and front of house. Food was good, service bad. Order takers, not helpful. Brought wrong food. Unfriendly. Don't clean chairs. Frustrating experience at the price point.UpvoteDownvote
