    tom yum soup $15
    Jeff H.

    Solid tom yum soup $15. Tom yum is a spicy sour based soup with chicken, mushrooms, tomatoes, lemongrass and galanga (ginger.) The restaurant was empty at 8:30pm on Sunday. My soup was ready in about 5 minutes. It tasted fine and nothing stood out was extraordinary.

    Pad Kee Mao with Tofu
    Isabelle V.

    I did enjoy my tofu pad kee mao, though somehow I felt like they put a little *too* much thai green chili and I would've liked a better balance of the umami (fish sauce, soy, etc) rather than the dominance of the spiciness. Also didn't love the giant pieces of fried tofu that really did not soak in the sauce. Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo of the por pia sod, but this dish was really not for me -- A rice paper sheet wrapped around egg, chinese sausage, tofu, and bean sprouts coated in a sweet and sour tamarind sauce and topped with crab and some kind of mustard? A lot was going on flavor wise, and I think both the texture of the rice paper (which felt more similar to a crepe) in combination with what ultimately tasted a lot like a pickle, really didn't jive with me. I would likely stick to a papaya salad or something next time.

    Pad Thai
    Elle K.

    This was my first time here at the recommendation from my sister. We ordered the Pad Thai, pineapple fried rice, an eggplant dish and curry. The server was very knowledgeable on assisting with dishes that are gluten free. The food was delicious although some of the portions were of a smaller size than expected. There is plentiful metered parking and parking in the neighborhood. Overall, I would visit again.

    I think this restaurant was okay; the Thai Iced Tea was average, but on the expensive side. The Mango Sticky Rice was pretty good, but not $8 dollars good especially for the pay area. Lastly, the Panang Curry was pretty watery compared to other Thai Curry I had. Not a lot of foot traffic in this area, tho I did visit on a Sunday Night so maybe other nights it's a little more fun. The staff are super nice, but I wasn't impressed by the food. Happy to update my review if I end up going here again + had a better experience.

    Mango and sticky rice
    Bruce W.

    We came in to a empty restaurant, I think the majority of their business is take out. That being said it was nice to have a quiet meal. The decor is dated in the best way. It really took me back a cup le of decades. The food was good an ND we basically lit inhaled it. My wife got the Pad Krapow, and I had something similar with eggplants. We totally forgot to get pictures of those dishes, by the time I realized, we had already cleaned our plates. This is a great place for a quiet date night!

    Exceptional food, super nice owners who have been going strong for a few decades now and the only place that's open late in the area.

    This is what the whole container looked like.

    The red curry had virtually no veggies, loaded with bamboo and a little chicken. By far worst I have ever had. I am hoping that they just forgot the other veggies?

    Some haikus about Ocean Thai: Not far from his home My boyfriend picked up the food And now we must eat "These are really good" The woman told my boyfriend. Great pickled peppers It's freezing outside Popped curry in microwave The plate burned my hands Medium spicy Pad See Ew and Pad Ma Kuer With some curry too Fantastic flavors, Just spicy enough for us. Had some crazy farts

    Pad Thai
    Kelley T.

    I came in on a Sunday evening and there weren't many people in the restaurant so I was seated right away. I ordered a pad Thai and it came out relatively quickly. The noodles were a good texture, it's just that they stir fried it in too much sauce. The taste was a little strong that I can to stop eating halfway through and basically add more noodles to my left overs in order to make it more mild. The sauce tasted good though so I guess it isn't a bad thing, it just got a little tiring after eating it for a while. The portion size was good enough for one meal.

    There are plenty of metered parking spots right outside of this mom and pop Thai restaurant. We were greeted by a friendly waitress upon entering the restaurant. They have an extensive menu. We ordered the chicken pad thai, seafood in claypot, sticky rice, and iced coffee. The food came out in a timely manner. The seafood in the claypot was kind of spicy, which added a nice kick to this dish. The chicken pad thai and the sticky rice were ok. The iced coffee had the right amount of sweetness to it. All the entrees are a la carte. If you want rice, you need to order a side of rice. They also don't have lunch specials like some other restaurants.

    Nice Hand made bags
    Jolens V.

    This is a nice restaurant. It is a traditional place nice decor with a little corner for cute handmade bags. The server Koi is very pretty and patient. She suggested that I taste the Papaya Salad , Roasted Pork and Sticky Rice. The Thai Ice Tea is creamy and refreshing. The portions are generous . Let us make the pictures do the talking.

    Pad se ew with tofu medium spice via Uber eats
    Bailey L.

    I ordered the Tom yum soup and tofu pad se ew with medium spice via Uber eats. I liked how you get the option to choose your spice level for pad se ew since normally pad se ew is not spicy. I really enjoyed the tofu pad se ew at medium spice, it was the perfect spice level for me and it was very flavorful. My only disappointment was that the portion is pretty small. It came in a small black takeout container. I finished the entire portion, but I usually have a small appetite and never finish my entire order of pad se ew, so I would say the portion size is quite small, but tasty. I did not try the Tom yum soup but my husband enjoyed it!

I got crispy calamari which was perfectly crunchy and delicious. I love the inner texture that blended so well with the crispy texture. For my main dish, I got Pad See You Chicken. It was flavorful and the noodles were perfectly soft. It was savory and slightly sweet. I asked for chili oil because I love spice, and wow, that was GOOD. If you're going to do that, do add a small bit of oil, it's really spicy. The chicken was tender which was such a good blend. Their Thai Iced Tea is so good and creamy. They serve it in a huge ice ball! It was pretty cool and unique. The person who served us was very kind and welcoming. I loved his energy, I wish I got his name.

I only knocked the restaurant down by a star because the servers were pretty pushy with wanting us to leave despite the multitude of empty tables around us. Besides that, the food is really delicious. The papaya salad is amazing if you like spice! There was a great kick and acidity to the papaya salad distributed throughout the fresh vegetables in the dish. I highly recommend! The pumpkin fries were also a great choice: crispy fry with soft pumpkin inside, maintaining the overall pumpkin flavor profile. The sauce they provide on the side (sweet and sour plum sauce), cut through the fry but didn't overwhelm the pumpkin itself. For myself, I got the yellow curry with chicken. The curry dishes do not come with rice, so you will have to order that on the side. The curry is not only a generous portion, but FULL of ingredients. They do not skimp on the meat, potatoes, etc. Highly recommend trying Farmhouse Kitchen for some flavorful Thai dishes!

Every bite and sip was delicious. We ordered family style and shared everything. The service was also fantastic, even though we got there late and didn't realize until the food was beginning to come out that it was last call, our server and all the other workers that came by were all so friendly and made us feel welcome. We ate quickly and boxed the rest so they could get home. What we ordered: Tom Kha soup - coconutty, creamy, a lil sour and a lil spice. Delicious. Fresh rolls - crisp and springy with lots of greens and tofu and a good peanut sauce to dip. Crispy pork belly sweet basil - the CRISP and flavor of this pork belly was to die for. Chicken larb - this was my favorite dish of the night. Heavy basil/herbs, just a little kick from the chilies, full on flavor explosion. I will be thinking of this dish for a long time haha. Beef Pad See Ew - chewy in the most delicious and favor packed way. Love pad see ew and this one was great! Pad cha scallop - Came out sizzling on a cast iron! This dish was fun and the scallops while small, were fresh and had lots of flavor. And finally, for dessert we ordered the black rice durian. It was all three of us' first time trying Durian and we loved it! Creamy and a little funky but the black rice and sauce emphasized its natural sweetness.

The duck curry kinda took me by surprise because of the lychee haha I wish the portions were bigger, but great taste.

Samosas were more like empanadas--very good with peanut sauce so good it rivaled my own home made. We continued our culinary adventure with crab fried rice-delicious, a large portion and my son who lives in SF and has tried dozens of crab fried rice ranked it in the top tier. The pacific catch rice noodles with crab was also excellent-big portion, lots of crab, tasty. Final entree was their specialty-Mussaman Curry. Wow, tender meat/potatoe "stew" with a very unique flavor from the star anise/cinnamon and peanut--to die for. Creme Brulee was very good with lots of fresh fruit accompaniment My only complaint was a very limited wine selection. Lapisaia will become one of our regular spots for dinner!!!
