With its fabulous cabana style patios, great happy hour specials, and Asian inspired cuisine, Straits is one of those "hard to miss" and "dare not to miss" places. Read more

The white pineapple sangria and spicy basil chicken are spectacular! Came in on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by the service and food!

Was surprised when I went to the bathroom to discover it's coed, the stalls are very private though. The tuna tower was pretty good, lemongrass steak and fries was great.

There are a few Gluten Free options! The staff really went out of their way to accommodate my allergies! The mahi mahi was fabulous!

Enjoy the beautiful autumn weather, sit outside at a cabana and laugh at the losers across the way fighting for a table at Ruggles Green while you sip your cocktail and nosh on your yummy appetizers.

The chicken lollipops and the crispy chicken (ask for a double serving of the sublime jalapeño sauce) are not to be missed
CultureMap Houston ManagerMarch 27, 2012
The general seating is rather crowded and trades in a sense of exotic refinement for a clubby vibe, complete with scantily-clad bar servers, top 40 music and a unisex bathroom area.

Mateo is the best bartender to go to, he deserves the biggest tip ever! He's the one with the frohawk and he's super cute! The food here is amazing, definitely 5 stars for me.

Try the Chicken Satay, Indian Street Noodles, and Tamarind Beef Tenderloin. Very well done. Authentic to me, and I lived overseas. :-)
Manuel DelgadoFebruary 13, 2011
Order two or three things and share family style. Much more fun and you will avoid the difficulty of choosing just one of the many delicious things on the menu.

Brunch is amazing! Bottomless mimosas to boot! The cheesecake egg rolls are delicious! You can't go wrong with this place.

Once you enter this fusion sanctuary of Asian cuisine, you know by the aromas from the grill you are blessed.

The hostess while we were there was rude and not helpful, but the waitress was great. We were there with a party of 12. Drinks are meh. Stick with wine. Food is pretty good.

Try the green seafood curry! It's great!
Nora VillarrealDecember 29, 2013
Depending on the bartender your bill can fluctuate. They need to get their shit together. I got three different prices for the same order.
Lauren AniessFebruary 26, 2013
Great ambiance and drinks. However the food is mediocre. What kind of asian restaurant charges extra for rice anyway?
Oscar MoralesJuly 14, 2013

Lolli pop chicken, fried egg burger, calamari...all great!

Good but over priced. Dishes that would come with rice anywhere else won't have any and it's 3$. What a rip off
