Kung Pao Lollipops for Everyone!

Atlanta’s own Ludacris brought in his favorite San Francisco chef to create a Singaporean jewel in Midtown. Straits' hardwood ceilings and origami-shaped lamps accent an angular design that pops with detail. Inside is a dark and chic scene; two stories every bit of as cool as the Grammy-winner behind its inception. The menu is extensive and is great for family style dining. Straits is a must dine event for locals and visitors alike.
