We ordered three entrées and noodles at $16.95 each, and every container was just a little over half full. The curry was the same--barely filled past halfway. I understand times are tough, but paying $73 for half-filled containers feels steep. You can decide for yourself. That said, the flavor was definitely there--I'll give them that. Good in a pinch, but the portions were pretty skimpy. I almost called to give feedback but looking at the reviews this is happening to a lot of folks so... read more

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. read more

My husband and I ordered takeout from Ocean Thai Restaurant and were pleasantly surprised. We got the Tom Kha soup, green curry, and jasmine rice. My husband really enjoyed the Tom Kha--rich, comforting, and full of flavor. The green curry was also very good: fragrant, well-seasoned, and satisfying. One thing that stood out for both dishes was the amount of protein. Unlike some of the portion-size complaints I've seen in other reviews, our curry and soup were generously filled with meat, which we appreciated. Everything was ready quickly and packaged well for grubhub, ubereats, or doordash. Overall, the food tasted fresh and authentic, and it hit the spot when we were craving Thai. Based on our experience, Ocean Thai feels like a solid neighborhood option, especially if you're ordering curry or soup. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Consistently fresh and flavorful dishes. We've tried this place 3 times and it's become our go-to local Thai spot. It's much better than the fancy-pants one with a two hour waitlist, that I won't name. Usually pretty quiet in there but don't let the lack of customers throw you off. This place is serving quality food. I'm vegan and they are kind enough to accommodate my preferences without sacrificing flavor, which is also a huge plus. read more

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? read more

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. read more

Ocean Thai - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - San Francisco, California

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. read more

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.

(Also posted to Google Reviews.) Very good Thai food. My wife had a thick curry soup with egg noodles. I don't recall the name. She said it's similar to a Malaysian curry soup. Our friend loved the Pad Kee Mao. And I had the gluten free Pad Thai. It was one of the better ones I've had. Not as flavorful as some of the other places but it was still a very solid version. One thing I appreciated was that it wasn't too sweet which is an issue at some places. The free soup that comes with the lunch special was also gluten free. It's a veggie broth type of soup. Pretty decent. They also had gluten free curries. I didn't ask what other gluten free options they had, but my impression was it went beyond Pad Thai and curries. There's metered parking. But if you're okay with walking a short distance, you can park in the neighborhood for free; just watch out for the hours on the signs. Service was good. Ambiance was normal. Not the place to go for vibe, but nothing bad either. All in all a 5 star experience other than ambiance. read more

Best fresh rolls ever, great tom kha soup, and great panang curry! Also relatively easy to park, which is great if you are eating there or just running in to grab pickup. Highly recommend. read more

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! read more

Ocean Thai - Pad se ew with tofu medium spice via Uber eats - Thai Near Me - San Francisco, California

Prawns Chao talay $21.95 6 shrimps with homemade sauce on a bed of rice noodles and steam broccoli and carrot slices on the side. The sauce is very tasty, on the oily side and the rice noodles came out in a a clump that couldn't be separated. They seemed to be premade then microwaved. The shrimp were fried and juicy. I forgot to ask it not to be spicy and it was. The dish was not hot in temperature. We order rice bowl $3.00 to temper the heat of the sauce. It was okay, came out hot. Healthy salmon $18.95 grilled salmon with mango sauce and salad. The fish was farmed raised and was fishy and not good, seemed old. The salad was ok. The restaurant is on the darker side with wall paper and wooden tables with white table clothes that has glass placed on top. The table clothes need to be washed and the walls need scrubbing. The decor needs to be improved. Old, tired and mismatched decor. A hole in the wall restaurant ambiance. The service is attentive. Overall I would get take out for the Prawn chao talay even though the rice noodles were bad. If i could give the rating for this dish it would be a 4 but overall a 3. read more

I wanted to like this place but I do not understand how they think it's acceptable to fill up a to go container with only like 3 scoops of the entree that's being ordered. It literally looks like I picked up somebody's left overs. Extremely disappointed and I noticed there's a similar review below mine. read more

I ordered some DoorDash from here because they're open pretty late compared to lots of other Thai options. Not my first choice of thai, but gets the job done. The red curry was good but does not come with rice. Based on the other reviews, especially of the lettuce packed pad kee Mao, I was skeptical of the portions. It does look like they try to be stingy especially for to go, my curry container was only 70% full and with TONS of bamboo shoots sitting at the bottom. read more

Small Thai restaurant on Ocean. Easy parking here. I ordered Pad See Ew and Curry Duck and rice. Pad See Ew was tasty, could have used a few more vegetables. The Curry Duck had quite a few pieces of duck, could have used a few more red peppers and pieces of basil. My only complaint is that you have to order rice. Shouldn't that come with it??? All in all a good local restaurant. read more

Most thai places are so similar and thus unremarkable. Ocean Thai stood out for their sweet and spicy chicken (supposedly off menu but other yelpers have identified it too). Beef larb was excitingly spiced. They offered solid curry and eggplants. The large tv showing travel ads for thai resorts is entertaining and has planted seeds over lunch that a vacation to thailand might be in my near future! read more

We've dined here before but did takeout this time. The prices have gone up and take out portions were sadly small. The chicken pad se ew dish was too sweet and bland. Hubby ordered medium spicy but the green curry tasted hot spicy. The red curry was my favorite dish out of the bunch. The Tom yum gai was too spicy. The chicken fried rice wasn't memorable either. Not sure we'd be back to try other dishes. read more

It pains me to write this, but the portion sizes have become ridiculous. I do not recommend ordering take out or you will be left severely disappointed. Ive tried to support them through the pandemic, but I don't think I can continue to support them for half an order at $13-14 an entree. Filling half the container with lettuce to inflate their serving size is just downright deceptive. I could forgive the skimpy protein sizes if they at least filled me up on noodles, but they can't even do that. Sad because they were the closest Thai place to me. I might have to go back to Champa now... read more

Ocean Thai is an underrated spot! Love the food and love the service! My friends and I came to try this place on a random Tuesday night when it was raining. There was no one in the restaurant except us. Though we were the only ones, the staffs were really friendly, attentive, and gave us good recommendations on their menu! As a table, we ordered the Thai Fresh Garden Rolls which came with 8 pieces. There was chicken, shrimp, and vegetables inside. Dipping the roll with the sauce provided tasted phenomenal! It was fresh, sweet, and the sauce complimented the roll really well! I definitely would recommend this to others and would order this again! For my entrée, I got the Pad See Ew with chicken which also was delicious! The entrée was not too oily, and the noodles were made perfectly with the carrots, broccoli, and egg. If you are a lover of stir-fried wide noodles, this is the one to get! Overall, love this restaurant! I would definitely come here again! They are underrated and deserve more business!

Solid Thai food. Came here after watching a movie at Stonestown. Ordered the Tom Kha, Chicken Skewers, Pad See Ew, and Pineapple Fried Rice. All of the dishes hit the spot. The Tom Kha soup was a delicious creamy and sour. The chicken skewers, which I would order again, came with a really delicious peanut sauce. The pad see ew was on point and the pineapple fried rice was solid. read more

Never knew this thai restaurant was around here. It can be easily missed even trying to find it. Service was friendly and quick. And food was delicious. Tod mun - best fried fish cakes I've ever had. It's a bit pricey at $9.85 for 6 pieces though, even with a little salad on the side. Thai style omelette - part of their lunch special. It's an omelette with ground pork, tomatoes, and onions. The egg was soft and sweet. So good. Parking is easy around here, so I'll definitely be coming back when I want thai food. read more

The service was quick and display of each dish was adorable and nice!! Golden Bags appetizer ($8.35) these were so cute, and tasted great too. Strong pumpkin flavor with the crunchy wonton was a good combo! Lunch Special 4 Green Papaya Salad with grilled chicken ($14) was perfect for me. The chicken was really tender and pulled apart easily. Wrapping it with the lettuce and papaya salad was refreshing! read more

Finally a Thai spot on Ocean (besides Champa, which is more of a Lao place). It's further down close to 19th ave so it's a much quieter area with a good amount of parking. That's too bad because if this place was closer to CCSF it'd get so many more customers! I've tried their pad thai, pad kee mao, curry dishes and Thai iced coffee. All pretty good, no complaints except that the pad kee mao portions could be a tad bigger (more noods pls!). Everything tastes fresh and the service is really good. Definitely a place I'd frequent if I'm in the area! read more

Consistently good Thai option- reasonable operating hours, eat-in option and super nice staff. Enjoying having this as a nearby go-to option for Thai.
