    $13 thai samosa: fried mashed potato w/ curry powder and onion, side of fresh tangy cucumber salad
    Jonathan P.

    Street parking or nearby parking garage. Small location with a couple of tables. Indoor or outdoor seating. Process: - Order and pay in front with cashier - Select table and wait for food - Water station at front Order: - $20 Green curry (8/10): choices of rice (steamed, sticky, one more but i forgot) and protein (chicken, beef, pork, tofu, veggies, prawns). has eggplant, bell pepper, thai basil, and bamboo shoot. - $14 crab rangoon (9/10): wonton filled with snow crab meat, philadelphia cream cheese, water chestnut, onion, carrot, side of plum sauce. i only tasted the crab and cream cheese but was good. sauce was sweet and sour - $13 samosa (7/10): fried mashed potato with curry powder and onion served with cucumber salad Service was okay, not much interaction once food was served. Dining experience was not the best as the door wouldn't close shut so cold air kept coming in. Also there was a small roach on the wall next to where we sat. It kept staring at us. Food presentation was nice and tasted good.

    Chicken noodle Soup
    Roy A.

    I visited for lunch on a cold, rainy day. I ordered the chicken noodle soup. It was flavorful and had many chicken chunks. The staff was friendly and helpful during the ordering process. I will return to try other menu items.

    Pad Thai
    Tanya K.

    The Pad Thai was good. When you order the dish it asks you what spice level, and I chose the second option which was "medium 3/10." The dish was definitely spicier than what I selected but it was still good. This place is very much self-service. You order via a QR code at the table. You get your own water. The staff only come by to bring you your meal when it's ready. Street parking in the area. Ambiance was nice inside restaurant.

    BBQ Chicken
    Daniel S.

    Stopped by Osha Thai Express today for a quick pickup and was seriously impressed. I ordered the BBQ chicken, and it did not disappoint. This was real, char-grilled BBQ--juicy, smoky, and full of flavor. Served over a bed of fluffy white rice, it hit all the right notes. What really tied the meal together was the papaya salad on the side--refreshing, crisp, and a perfect contrast to the savory chicken. Fast, flavorful, and satisfying. If you're looking for quick Thai that doesn't cut corners on quality, this spot is worth it.

    Beef noodle soup
    Nicole C.

    Way overpriced $24 total for beef noodle soup and if you order this make sure you ask for MEDIUM size rice noodles. They changed the noodles they use in this soup and their version of "small rice noodles" are angel hair which are paper thin, which won't hold any ingredients at all. The guy was decently nice but just know in advance. I only order this here so I know what I'm talking about. Other than that very good

    I have been here many times and the food is always basic at best. Why do I keep coming back? Because it's literally in the building I live in and convenience is huge. My sister gifted me $25 when I was sick to get some soup. I forgot to get the soup so I decided to use that doordash tonight. I got the barbecue beef with rice and papaya salad. I ordered it online and like I said I live in the building, so literally 2 minutes away. When I picked it up it was cold. Why? Then when I opened the box I realized it's because the meat is paper thin. Is it meat?? Definitely doesn't look like the picture. If I had to pay $25 for this, I would be pissed, for sure. I'm grateful that my sister was the one who paid for this and I will never let her know I ordered this..we'll call it a meal. It will be our little secret, just like theirs with what they advertise and what you really get.

    Spicy Basil with Fried Egg beef
    Timothy N.

    Came here for lunch and got the spicy basil with fried egg and beef. It was flavorful, tasty and comforting. I don't have any issues with the food, it just doesn't stand out for. It is also a bit more on the pricier side and ended up being about 22 dollars after tip. The staff were really nice and accommodating and overall I appreciated the vibes. I'll come back again to try a different dish!

    SPICY BASIL WITH FRIED EGG & THAI BOAT NOODLE (garlic on the side)
    Veronica L.

    Hit up my favorite local Thai spot with my friend after Pilates at the Y. I'm going to miss the convenience of living across the street from Osha Express. The service is the best and they are so clean and friendly. The food is made to order and always on point. It's cheaper than a ticket to Thailand! I should know, I lived in Bangkok for 2 years as a kid and my mother has eaten here and said the food is authentic and legit. If you like delicious fresh Thai food made to order at a clean place, come here because you won't be disappointed.

    Mango sticky rice

    Very delicious and hit the spot. I ate about half of it before taking a photo so you'll get more than what you see here!

    Beef pad thai

    I love Thai food and OSHA has been a goto for me and family. But we used to cross the bridge to San Francisco. I'm glad they opened a restaurant here in Oakland. A block an away from Grand Ave near Christ the Light Cathedral and Lake Merritt, this was a surprise and I usually ordered my beef pad thai. I haven't had pad thai in a while to this pretty satisfied my craving. The restaurant is clean. The service is great. The menu was easy to follow. Overall would come by here again. Also if you're craving for dessert Gregory's is just across the street!

    The food was so good. I have ordered from here before for delivery. I have never been disappointed. Check out the pictures. They look good, but the food was even better.

    Trying out the new Thai place in Uptown.
    Margaret H.

    OSHA just opened an express branch in Uptown Oakland on 23rd Street. We ordered the pad Thai, crab fried rice, bbq pork salad and the mango sticky rice and sat outside in the lovely heated parklet area out front. All the dishes were delicious. The fried rice was light and not at all greasy. The pad Thai was excellent and it's a dish that I am familiar with - the noodles were just right and the sauce was not overly sweet. The portion of sticky rice was so generous and delicious. I mean, for me to have leftovers on yummy sticky rice means there had to be plenty of it. Our server was very attentive and accommodating of our requests for additional items. The food came out very fast and dessert came right as we finished the mains. I am excited for this new addition to the neighborhood.

The space is a little narrow in certain sections, but the decor gives it an authentic feel that sets it apart from those overly polished, generic spots. It feels like a place that actually respects the culture it's representing. We started with the Pad Brussels Sprouts, and honestly, that secret sauce and fried garlic combo is elite. Usually, sprouts are hit or miss, but these were savory, crisp, and gone in minutes. For the main, I locked in on the Khao Soi Short Rib over noodles. The meat was incredibly tender--no effort required--and the broth had that rich, deep flavor profile that you only get when a kitchen actually takes its time. The whole experience was smooth, and the food was top-tier without being pretentious. It's a solid, laid-back environment with authentic flavors that justify the visit every time. Definitely a five-star run.

I ended up going with their crispy papaya salad for my appetizer, the lamb shank curry, and ice cream for dessert. The crispy papaya salad was interesting since I had never had the dish prepared in that manner. It came with an excellent dipping sauce that provided some salt and acid to balance things out. The lamb curry was awesome! Hearty, meaty, with a flavorful and creamy base. The roti was also a great side which provided a nice buttery and fluffy touch to my main. My meal also came with coconut ice cream, but I passed that to my friends to avoid the dairy. I had a great time at Pintoh. Our servers were nice, the ambience and vibes were colorful and on point. Check them out if you're looking for some Thai food with a twist.

Some personal standouts are the kor moo yang (grilled pork jowl), grilled beef short rib, mok pa (steamed catfish), and the Lao-style papaya salad -- which is perfectly spicy and packed with flavor. Portions are generous and incredibly filling, and everything is so flavorful and delicious. Even when ordered for delivery, the food arrives fresh and holds up beautifully.

Pad see ew great flavor. $21.95 for tofu and veggies. If you want animal protein be prepared to pay extra. Good modern presentation. Dish is a bit skimpy in portions for the price you pay. Yellow curry $20.95 for veggies and tofu only. Mild in flavor. But has a tiny bit of heat at the end. Loaded with veggies and tomatoes. A filling dish for one Men's room is a 2 urinal + 1 stall. The urinals feel a bit tight, however the stall is roomy and well decorated. The hand wash station consists of 2 sinks in between the Women's and Men's room. Overall- will probably not come back. You are paying for the location and decor. Quality of food is just OK. Not worth the price you pay for the portion size. Recommend going 1.5 miles up to Chinatown to get a better value for your money and a more authentic experience.

Now my In-Laws like to order Take Out more often, and they always want to order Thai food! It used to be they wanted Indian food, which we love but truly had not found satisfactory in the past. I'm so glad because Thai Taste Kitchen doesn't disappoint! They have been impeccable about marking the containers & even packaging meat vs vegetarian items in separate bags, and they allow specifics like "no shrimp paste" or whatever, more of "this" or none of "that". White Rice included free with entrees thst are not noodle or rice based, and if you prefer individual instead of family style, you can add an appetizer to each entree individually for about $5-$6, which is about the same as splitting an appetizer order in half, but sometimes people prefer a different appetizer. I like to avoid fried foods, for example, but others love egg rolls or fried chicken (was that an appetizer or an entree?) Thai Iced Tea comes in one size only, and it's small, but consider the calories. This is probably best in small size & I was thoroughly satisfied, I had not indulged for many, many years and it was so delicious. If possible, get it with no ice so it doesn't melt on the way to your destination, you can add your own ice once you get there. Tbh, I started drinking it immediately & finished it in about 10 min, since my husband was driving. Treat yourselves & I think you'll be really glad you found this place. One caveat, they are short staffed so keep that in mind if you eat in the restaurant, I believe only one person is serving tables and may also handle the register, so it may require patience. The beauty of Take Out is we can set out a buffet, everyone grabs a plate & chooses ehat they like, and we can reheat warm items in the microwave in about a minute, and it tastes it's best hot.
