    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.

    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

    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.

    Mango and sticky rice

    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!

    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

    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.

    Ocean Thai Restaurant in San Francisco is a hidden gem. The service is excellent and quick, and the food is authentic and delicious. Great for takeout too--don't miss out on this spot!

There were 3 of us and we lined up around 3:45pm before their 4pm opening and luckily made it in with the first wave of seating. The restaurant has a decent amount of tables, though it's not super big so I'd definitely recommend coming early especially if you have a big group. We started with the papaya salad and didn't realize it was deep fried. It was still good but I personally would've preferred it fresh. The fried mushrooms were AMAZING - perfectly crispy and paired so well with the sweet and sour dipping sauce. For mains we ordered the khao soi with crispy fried chicken and it was hands down my favorite dish. The broth was so rich, flavorful, and comforting. We also got the sizzling soft shell crab which was solid but probably something I'd skip next time. The duck breast turmeric curry was my second favorite - the curry flavor was absolutely chef's kiss. To end the meal we got the dessert toast and it was the perfect finale. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, buttery, warm, and topped with the perfect scoop of ice cream.

Both are rum-based and had a really nice kick, especially the Soi Ari with the pandan in the aftertaste (which we found super refreshing). Food we ordered were the Nam Tok Beans, the Pad Khee Mao, and the rabbit curry. Both of us love spice so the Nam Tok Beans blew us away! Did not expect that kind of packed flavor at all but it makes a seemingly ordinary bean dish so much more exciting. The noodles were cooked perfectly and made a great in between to the rabbit curry. Which speaking of, oh my god??? SUPER tender and fall off-the-bone. Rabbit can be a hard dish to put on for people who have never tried it, but I really appreciate that it's not as bone-y as other rabbit dishes I've had in the past. It really was like chicken but softer. Wow wow wow. Huge shoutout to our bartender for giving us extra birthday shots on the house. Never had Amaro before tonight but it was delicious. Did not get his name unfortunately but he's fantastic! The reason I give 4 stars despite the great experience was because I noticed less urgency from the host and the servers in terms of getting stuff out. Doesn't help that the place is smaller and more expensive for a Michelin star establishment. Sitting by the bar made a huge difference for us since we had a great experience with our bartender, but I have a feeling that those at regular tables that night might've lost patience with the wait times for certain dishes. TLDR: if you love spicy Thai food, have the money to spend, and aren't in a rush, this place is worth checking out.

The restaurant closes at 9:30pm, and they were kind enough to let us stay until then! I also enjoyed the ambiance - the interior was quite beautiful, and had many floral decorations, which I enjoyed. For food, I got the hot stone pot, which comes with minced pork and prawns. The dish was not only delicious but also was a large portion size. The rice was crispy on the bottom, and it was nice that the server mixed the dish for me on the table. I would definitely come back to try other dishes! One of my friends got the Pad Kee Mow, and she also very much enjoyed her dish, agreeing that it was delicious and that the noodles were perfectly chewy!

It would have been nice to have had a few more vegetables thrown in, especially the broccoli as I counted just a couple of pieces. I did like the tofu although I felt there could have been more and a bit more tender. They could totally redo the front patio dining area as I think it would draw more customers in. If it had not been for my friend recommending this spot, I would have walked by. Overall the customer service was good and I would come back to try other dishes - I'd say the popcorn chicken was my favorite.
