I would describe Straits as your run of the mill hawker style cafe close to what you'd find in Asia. The open kitchen + sound of wok/blazing oil, it's almost nostalgic. Service is prompt and friendly and I highly recommend the Char Kway Teow.

I am a Malaysian residing in Melbourne and I have been going to this restaurant for years. Let me be honest in saying the place does offer some decent Australian-Malaysian dishes in the menu, although sad to say, the taste quality do vary from visit to visit.

I agree with some of the poor reviews I've read on customer service as I often find the floor manager 'M', overly loud and abusive to staff. It's poor etiquette it reflects badly on the restaurant.
