It was much closer to what I had in Melbourne Australia where a LOT of Malaysians emigrated to. None of the other places I have tried in the US compared. We also ordered the spicy noodle dish with seafood. Lots of protein which was very helpful as we are both trying to have more protein and less carbs. (Doggone Rice and Noodles!!) We were very pleased with what we ate and of course our phenomenal service. The mocktails were great. No dessert because we were too full. I'm coming back for the crab. I wasn't dressed for messy food so I skipped it this time. Thanks for a lovely dinner, Straits!!! I'll bring my Aussie partner and make sure he is hungry. I'm sorry, I put my phone away because we were having a special day for my bday. But I will never forget what a nice meal I had at Straits.

It was also my first time trying bao, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was--soft, flavorful, and definitely something I'd order again. The ambiance is very casual, making it a great spot for a relaxed dinner. The indoor dining area isn't very large, but they do have outdoor seating, which is a nice option if you prefer to dine outside. You have to try the garlic noodles! The service could be better because they don't come to you to check up on you if you need Utensils, extra plates etc.

First time here. Service was good and he's friendly…read more Food is amazing. I'm definitely coming back here to bring friends and colleagues. I have been passing by this place lots of time and never thought of trying it out and I'm glad that I did. I had the outdoor seats and it was amazing outdoor. The location is so nice.

The Pho was a bit different from a traditional Pho dish, but it was decent. The service was good and the prices Were average. Wifey had a Sapporo Also, which was in a glass and great!

GOGA is a hidden gem in downtown Saratoga. You could easily walk right past it and never realize…read moreit's there. The entrance is by the back parking lot off Big Basin Way, and it's absolutely worth finding. We went for brunch today and everything was delicious; the eggs Benedict, the ham and cheese croissant, and the scallops were all standouts. Just really fresh, well-prepared food that doesn't feel fussy. I've had dinner there as well, and it was just as good. Every time, the food has been flavorful and consistent, and you can tell there's real care behind it. The space is small and cozy, which makes it feel intimate and relaxed. Chef Brad clearly knows his craft, and the menu has a nice seasonal feel to it. Service is always warm and attentive without being overbearing, just genuinely kind hospitality. It's one of those places you almost hesitate to share because it feels like a little secret, but it's too good not to mention.

I suppose that just means everything is made fresh then! I think the prices are on the higher end for a hot dog but very reasonable considering how good they taste. My favorite is the chipotle one!

I probably visited Koja back in the day when they had a food truck. We were looking for something…read moreto eat while visiting Valley Fair, and my companion mentioned liking Koja. I ordered the ahi tuna bowl since it sounded a bit lighter than getting something with red meat. It was kind of like a poke bowl, but not one where you can pick all the ingredients and flavors. The ahi had a strong wasabi flavor, which I liked, but I think someone who doesn't like spicy food wouldn't be a fan! I also had a side of the umami fries, which are kind of like fries with sauce and pork on them. I wasn't 100% sure what made them umami, but they were pretty good. The portion size seems a little small per price point (about $8), clearly meant as a side. The food came out fairly quickly, not too long to wait. Service was fine. Ambiance is funny question because it's a mall food court! I do like that they have an outdoor eating area at Valley Fair now.

The food was delicious, but what really made our visit special was our server, Joy. She was so friendly and welcoming that I honestly thought she might be the owner. She explained the menu so well and was genuinely happy to see people enjoying their popular dakgalbi, which made the whole experience feel even warmer. And the fried rice at the end tasted exactly like the kind I used to eat during my school days in Korea -- so nostalgic and comforting. We'll definitely be back. Next time, I want to try the gamjatang!

As a result, the brisket came out badly overcooked--dry, tough, and chewy. Unfortunately, the quality of the meat was not on par with other Korean BBQ restaurants we've visited, especially considering how expensive this place is. We had high hopes, but the meat was very disappointing. We came early when it wasn't busy at all (we were basically the second table), so it wasn't a rush issue. On the positive side, the ambiance is nice and I really liked their unique banchan selection. Because of the meat quality and the high prices for what we got, I won't be coming back. There are way too many better options in the area to spend that kind of money for two people.
