Pad See You. Very good
Winnie W.

Beautiful restaurant. Very good food, and good service. We ordered their Pad See Ew (rice noodle) - very good, and the Tom Yum soup (also very good). Great flavors; good balance of spices and not too salty or spicy. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with very comfortable and roomy seating. Also conveniently located at Embarcadero 4. Service is very efficient and friendly. Our water glasses were always filled, and our waitress checked in on us every now and then at the perfect moment. Very seasoned staff and very friendly and efficient. Good food. Good Service.... Recommended!!

The highlight of this establishment is the service. Never did my water get below half full without someone coming in and filling it up. The vibe inside is cool as well, feels pretty upscale. Only negative is the price reflects that. Food was great but in the pricey side, for a firm sponsored lunch this was a 10/10 but if I was coming back maybe I'd go somewhere a little more cost effective. Take a date here, or your business partners. Upscale vibe with stellar service and food that matches

Osha's Tom Yum Noodles
Nishant M.

Food is delicious but service is very poor. Ambiance is poor. It's hard to communicate with the servers and that makes the whole experience poorer

Thai iced-tini
Kathleen A.

I have been wanting to check out this spot for awhile. I love Thai food and this is a great location at the Embarcadero center. We tried a few dishes and enjoyed: Beef wasabi rolls- I like that the beef was the roll. No breading or rice needed. Wasabi had a good little kick. Pad see you: spelling through me off a little but the noodles were delicious. A little more broccoli would have been nice but the flavors were great. Crying tiger steak- beautiful plating and I was impressed by the flavor as well as the portion of the salad. That salad wasn't messing around! The rice was also yummy. Thai-tini: this is not quite the name of the drink I had but it was that iced tea inspired. The drink had good flavors as well as presentation. I'm glad we were able to taste the yummy items here and take a couple pics as well. The ambiance is nice and the perimeter booths are a great seat.

Dungeness Crab Omelet
Calli Y.

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place yet. Seems a little odd. I've been here four times now. Actually every time I come to SF for work, this is their place to go. Each time the service has been great and the food also tastes good. Usually, we order everything family style so we can try all the items. The papaya salad is my favorite, refreshing and it's got a great kick to it as well. We also always get the Dungeness crab omelette. This one I feel like it's just OK for me. I do like the chunks of crab in it though. The calamari is huge. I'm shocked by the size, and it's always very tasty. We've gotten the Seabass, the smoked duck, usually a tom-tom soup, and a bunch of other items. I can't even remember. Great flavors. We also get the desserts as well. And our favorite is the banana and ice cream as well as the mango sticky rice. You really can't go wrong. I feel like they offer a great variety of Thai food. SYOY!

Came here for a small appetizer, ordered the samosas. Came as 4. They were good but a bit dry, wish they had a sauce on the side to go with it. Service and staff was great. But this dish was so so: wouldn't order again.

HH snacks
Andres N.

Came here for HH and it was just fine. The drinks are good but food is pretty mediocre. Calamari was very tough and rubbery, we couldn't finish it. The sauce it was served with was like a honey it was so sticky and didn't compliment the dish. Fries on HH were the best part. The Gyoza was ok but could have used more seasoning. Painkiller and mules were prepared very well. Nice location overlooking ferry building and embarcadero plaza. We were immediately sat outside for HH which was nice. I can't say I'd make it a point to return for the food. Grab some Happy Hour drinks, sit outside on a nice evening and you'll have a nice time.

"Thai Tea" Honey Toast
Sarah C.

came here around 7:50pm (they close at 8:30pm) and they were certainly rushing us a bit. food came out fast which was nice though. the decor and plating are very aesthetically pleasing, and there are plenty of large group seatings. the food was just average: - chicken satay ($18): very tender but the sauce was too sweet and sticky, barely any peanut taste - pad thai ($23): also too sweet, lacking depth of flavor - thai tea honey toast ($23): I liked the crispiness at the bottom, it was pretty small though

Loann H.

Wait I lowkey don't want to write this review because they're going to get soooo busy. I was looking for light appetizers and saw that osha was nearby. Been to the other location years ago and it's always a hit. Was pleasantly surprised when we went on a weekend and it was happy all day Saturday and Sunday. Monday - Friday 5-7 pm happy hour as well. It's so close to the ferry building and very walkable. Ordered the angel wings ($9) , fried calamari ($9) and herbal pork belly. $(12) there's $1.50 oysters too but had so much over the past month so opted out. I did bookmark this place as an oyster options whenever I'm back in the area though. I loved the sauce on the wings and the fried calamari was good. The pork belly was a dry rub type and a bit spicy for me which I didn't prefer but was enjoyable. I just can't handle spicy and I think I just enjoy pork belly in soy or something. So just an opinion, it was good but not my preference. Bathrooms were clean and there's a lot of space for parties/events or big groups. Also the receipt said "elevated Thai brunch served all day" waaah? Maybe I'll try that next time when we're hungrier.

Smoked Duck
Monique M.

Came here for the first time and i absolutely loved this place. Location is nice with lots of places to visit nearby. Obviously in a busy area of San Francisco so parking, transportation and traffic are a hassle but the views and location are still great. The restaurant itself is clean with a nice ambiance. Cute decor. We were a large party of over 15 people and they were able to accommodate us without a problem. Their food was amazing. Tasty, such great flavors and provided many dishes that were both common to Thai food, and also unique to this restaurant. Everything we ate had great flavor! Understandably the prices matched the quality and location of the restaurant. Staff was really great. Worked hard, stayed in top of our large table. Friendly to say the least. I would recommend this place for almost any occasion, for large groupsnor a simple lunch date. I am looking forward to coming back for more.

Happy hour drinks
Nina Z.

Amazing happy hour deal! They have happy hour on select drinks and food items Monday thru Friday from 5-7PM and all day Saturday and Sunday. We ended up getting drinks, splitting a happy hour platter, and ordering some drunken noodles from the entree: plenty of food for the three of us! The happy hour platter included oysters, calamari, chicken wings, and fries. Beautiful lush ambiance and we came during the holiday season, so it was all decorated for the holidays. Service was friendly. Conveniently located in Embarcadero. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area. They also serve brunch as well!

Osha's Tom Yum Noodles Soup
Kaman L.

I haven't been here since the pandemic began. I was glad that I visited Osha Thai recently. The quality of the food and the service were still good. The food that my party ordered were as follows: 1) Starter: Salmon roll (3.5/5) the portion of salmon is decent, the taste is a little bland but feels healthy when I ate it. :) 2) Starter: Angel wings (4.5/5) I love the robust taste plus the crunchiness of the wings. The sauce is perfectly done. I enjoy this dish a lot. 3) Entree: Tom Yum Soup noodle (4.5/5) was tasty with decent portion of shrimp, fish balls, minced pork and noodles. I haven't had Tom Yum soup for a while. Glad that I ordered this dish. 4) Entree: Duck fried noodle (4/5) was good but not as good compared with the Tom Yum soup noodle. I enjoyed the noodle with the sauce. The duck meat portion is good too. Service is good here. The interior decor was pretty. Our seating area was comfortable and away from the crowd that allows my party had a good talk. Only down side was the food here are pricey. But given the food quality and location, I think it worth paying the price. I will come back for sure.

Menu

Mgr name edit: Jessica to Tasha 5/9/26 Apologies in advance for the lengthy review We were invited for a special milestone birthday event here last night for my SIL. Party of 20 right at dinner opening of 5pm. Reservations were made and all things started off great. We arrived 15 minutes before the restaurant opened and as we got closer to 5:00pm, at least a dozen people started waiting outside to enter. We were admitted first to be seated as our reserved table was already set up. Aesthetics inside were thought through with the bar centrally located. Our main server was Miau and she was attentive and delightful from start to finish. We ordered drinks and started off with quite a few appetizer platters for the table. We noticed another server (Tasha) almost immediately that didn't 'ask' us but very aggressively told us (mainly adults) to gather the menu's (before we even ordered entrees) and put it in the center of the table so she can collect them. Once appetizers and drinks were half consumed, Miau came by to take our entree orders while we continued to socialize, mingle and catch up. Beautifully decorated entree plates started flowing and this is when the other assisting server Tasha started bringing dishes out. With music playing in the background and chatter among other tables, we can barely hear her calling out entrees from one end of the table to the other table. I made eye contact and told her we couldn't hear her and she just dropped the dish on the table and walked away. Thankfully it was our nephew's entree close by. Tasha then came by with (2) salmon dishes which one was requested spicy and when we went to clarify with our brother if he ordered spicy, she rolled her eyes dramatically and sighed loudly like we were being rude and inconvenient. We were completely appalled! The restaurant wasn't even packed! There were a few other tables dining but still a few empty tables around. We ended up asking Miau who the other server was since she was rude to us and Miau told us she was the manager. :O Tasha's attitude matches how the women's restroom looks! Honestly all the food from apps, mains tasted all mediocre at best but it does come out presented well. Drinks were good and at going rates of $15/per or so. This establishment is centrally located facing the Ferry building, it has a great location. Parking garage made things simple but they had an event today so all parking was a flat $35! The (2) star rating is for the business overall. I would give (5) stars for Miau (our main server) and for the aesthetics of the restaurant which showcases a modern beautiful restaurant and location is perfect which makes sense for the prices being charged. However, the level of service from the person you have chosen to represent your establishment as the manager (Tasha) ruined this milestone birthday for our beloved sister and family, Unfortunately, as a family of 17 adults and 3 tween/teenagers were extremely disappointed and would not be returning. San Francisco is a known destination with so many restaurant options that we will gladly choose to spend our $1,838.00 (invoice with 20% gratuity) elsewhere and not recommend your establishment.

The Fleet week and SF Tech Week Edition:…read more San Francisco has to be the best city in America. The diversity and the neighborhoods in SF make America better. Born and Raised in SF and growing up in the Mission you make friends with every nationality. You will see all kinds of restaurants serving food from all seven continents. There is one restaurants in the back streets of the Mission District which has lots of characters and it's serves delicious Thai cuisine. In this area you only use to see people wearing suits only on a Sunday but now you see people wearing suits on a weekday walking around. It's located on Florida ( not the state) street and it's called Farmhouse Kitchen Thai cuisine. On a Fleet Week and SF Tech week stroll I landed on Florida ( not the state) street. When it comes to Thai food I always like trying dishes with seafood. Most restaurants by the water serve seafood that can be bland and stale in SF. Some try to squeeze the life out of a lemon and lime and it still tastes more sour. One thing you can do to change the taste is to put some different flavor on it. Farmhouse Kitchen Thai cuisine offers a seafood plate called the Run Juan Seafood Sizzling and it's exactly the seafood answer for Don Juan . The Run Juan was a bit spicy with the spicy curry paste and jalapeños with and it came with an assortment of different seafood which included shrimp, scallops, calamari, and Manila clams. It wasn't salty like some in SF. I also had the Tom Kha soup which was not too sour like some in SF. I was looking for the purple rice but they had the blue rice which is good to have for Fleet week in honor of the Blue Angels. I washed all down with a purple colored Anchan Limenade. Some things in the Mission has changed and those days are "gone"but one thing won't change is the love of the Mission and for San Francisco by "Don Juan" because the Mission in the city still has it going "on" so go the Farmhouse and enjoy a Thai seafood dish called "Run Juan" Walking the streets of the Mission at night back in the days you had to be "cautious" because the ones who got targeted were the "softest" the Farmhouse is located on the Florida street where the "loft is"and lots of people demand for Run Juan but I am not currently running for "office"

I came on Sunday around 5:30, and was seated immediately. The steady influx/outflux of customers never made it seem too quiet, even though only half the restaurant was utilized. If you decide to come here, I recommend avoiding the Thai staples like Pad Thai and Tom Yum, and ordering at least 1 dish from the "From the Chef" section. This place feels more authentic with more unique offerings compared to your regular run of the mill Thai place (they are mostly government sponsored anyways). I ordered a Papaya salad (Som Tum Poo Pla), a Shrimp Paste Fried Rice, and Roasted Pork with Crispy Pork Belly. For starters, the Papaya salad with a bigger price tag is not for the faint of heart. There is a load of fish sauce, and combined with anchovies, makes for an...acquired dish. I was told by my server that it's pretty authentic, but it's a little too authentic and reminds me of Natto or Beijing tofu juice. The Shrimp Paste Fried rice is a must order; the spread is very instagram worthy and gives me vague paella vibes in terms that it's shareable and good for parties 2-4. I did not see this dish at other Thai restaurants I've been to, so I'd consider pretty unique. Just be mindful that it's on the sweeter side, and the chilis on the side are very, very spicy, so allocate accordingly. The Roasted Pork with Crispy Pork Belly was by far the star of the show. The skin was super crispy, and the pork itself was super tender, melt in your mouth feeling. The flavors and seasonings were perfect, with just a hint of basil to elevate the entire taste. A true adventure for the taste buds, and a must order as a shareable. Service was super friendly, and my waiter answered all my questions with a smile, and even gave us his recommendations since we wanted to stray away from the basic thai food orders. This place is a must come to if you're looking for true authentic Thai food from a chef that has pride in his work. I can't wait to come back to try their other unique dishes!

Good noodle texture and flavor. - Saap Wings--salty and yummy. We also individually ordered Hot ginger tea, Coconut Water, and Thai iced tea. Would be back!

We trie the crispy rolls ($12), papaya salad ($14.50), drunken noodle ($17.25), pad see ew ($17.25) and choo chee salmon ($23.95). The crispy rolls were vegetarian and came with a side of sweet chili dipping sauce. It was a standard roll, nothing to complain about but not something I would go out of my way for. Papaya salad was fresh and came with lettuce leaves as well. A solid app to split with a small group. I didn't try the drunken noodles as the group wanted beef in it, but I heard it was good. We decided to get tofu as the protein for the pad see ew, and it definitely hit the spot. However, I'd say the choo chee salmon was the winner. The curry sauce was super flavorful and had hints of coconut. Salmon was cooked well, and it came with some veggies that soaked up the curry. We didn't ask for rice on the side since we already had 2 carb dishes, but it would pair very nicely with white rice. Service was good. They checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed.

The crispy spring rolls were cooked perfectly, and seasoned well. The clear noodles and veggies were so yummy. I asked for soy sauce because that's what I prefer over sweet sauce, but honestly they needed nothing 4.8/5. The ahi scoops had the best seaweed salad on it that I have EVER had, the wasabi cream on top was the show stopper, and I don't even like wasabi 5/5. We shared the flight and was more than tipsy from two drinks each, flavors on point champagne delicious 5/5. Overall

Had Blackwood on my list for a while as I was looking for new brunch places to try. The premise of…read morea thai fusion brunch intrigued me and I was hoping it was would surpass my expectations and previous experience with Peacock Pansy (similar brunch spot). The reservation system was a bit odd with no designated time slots, but rather you put in a time yourself online. The system turned out to not work very well as I originally booked a spot for 2 at 11am and then had to call to move it to 11:40am (weird time). Turns out when we got there, my name or a close spelling of it was on the list for 12:40pm. This wasn't a big deal to me since it's easy to mishear on the phone so we moved on from that. The restaurant was decently booked and we sat inside. Now for what my partner and I ordered! Unfortunately nothing called to me strongly so I went with the very basic choice of 2 eggs plate with ciabatta toast and rainbow potatoes. I added in chicken sausage for $3. 5/10: The toast was unbuttered and honestly tasted stale. The potatoes were nice and crispy, but unsalted and quite plain. The eggs were nice, I got mine scrambled. Sausages were okay, I think I actually ended up with the pork sausages rather than chicken. My plate was $26 and I can confidently say it is not worth close to that unfortunately. Brussel Florentine Benedict 6/10: My partner was intrigued by the ton yum hollandaise sauce. There was a hint of it which was nice. Benedicts were okay, nothing special. Coconut oat matcha 8/10: On the sweeter side, but enjoyable! I liked the toasted coconut pieces on top and thought it was a nice drink. Premium matcha wise, I don't agree necessarily, but hey it was an enjoyable drink. Drip coffee 0/10: My partner loves a drip coffee and not in a snobby way. From diner coffee to honestly plain old regular slightly brunt coffee, thats her jam. This coffee was just burnt. Not sure what happened but it was $5 for a completely bitter cup of burnt coffee. Not great. Fun side note: As we were ordering the table next to us called attention to their dish as their waffle was completely undercooked and tasted bitter. The wait staff was apologetic about it, but seemed to either not understand or insist it was "too sweet" not undercooked or bitter. The table was very polite about it so honestly it was not the best look for the restaurant. It was simply feedback and I don't believe it was taken very well. Regardless, just a fun note to throw in! We will not be back unfortunately. There are many lovely brunch spots and restaurants around the city and sadly I don't think this one is worth a try just because of the cost for the quality, but I always tell myself its always worth to try in case you do think differently!

While we were in San Francisco, we decided to visit New Thai Elephant for dinner…read more That was a great choice. Food was amazing and prices were reasonable. Surprisingly, their menu prices were a bit lower than most restaurants here in the OC and their servings were huge. We had: papaya salad, pad see ew, beef stew noodles soup, mango shrimp salad, roti with curry dipping, and a seafood salad, which I forgot to take a photo and didn't realize that until we were almost done eating. Service was good. Absolutely a must try if you're in San Francisco.

I'm giving this place a solid 3.5 Stars so I rounded up to 4…read more I would have rated it higher but they brought my entree out 10 minutes before the rest of the food including our appetizer! So that sucked. 1st let's admire my Thai Ice Tea. This was so adorable & I felt bad drowning him in my tea ha 2nd - my co-worker said this was the 2nd best Pad Thai he's ever had. They grill the tofu so it's got some crunch to it. Which totally elevates the Pad Thai. My Panang Curry with duck was excellent! Decent amount of duck just a few bones. Great little kick on the spice BUT not so spicy that it makes you regret life choices! Delicious will order again. The only thing I'd complain about is that my rice wasn't sticky. I prefer stickier rice - but this rice is perfect if you don't have a preference. I don't want fully unwashed mush but I like a little more starch. My other co-worker ordered Roasted duck over rice - he said it was tasty & would order again. We did order chicken satay and the chicken had good flavor BUT the peanut sauce was just ok. I'd order it again to see if it was just an off day for the sauce. It's a small restaurant & filled quickly at lunch. Many Asians eating there which told me it would be good. Restrooms were slippery so be careful but clean. Overall I would come again!

I already had high expectations judging from the pictures of this place, but Hed verythai still…read moremanaged to blow my mind! I ordered the Set 3 Chicken. The mushroom soup was the best thai soup I've ever had in my life! It has the sourness of tom yang soup but with a hint of sweetness and creaminess that balances it out so well! The tender, juicy chicken curry was flavored to perfection, the salad and butternut squash were refreshing, and the three grains complemented the meal so nicely. I was stuffed by the end, but not uncomfortably so. Prices were pretty fair; regular sets are $20-something and the seasonal sets are in the 30's. I really appreciated the amazing service we got too. We showed up at 6 pm on a Wednesday night with no reservations for 3 people, but the hostess said she could give us a table for around an hour, before the reserving party arrives, if we were ok with it. They were also very flexible about switching out one of the items in the sets we didn't like as much. The restaurant itself is beautiful and comfortable and 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone! The most well-done Thai food I've ever had!

Ordered the pork belly set menu and I really enjoyed the variety of flavors and textures throughout…read morethe meal. The papaya salad was spicy and sour, making it a refreshing palate cleanser before the main dishes. The pork belly had great flavor and came in a generous portion. I also tried the chicken curry, which paired beautifully with the rice. One of my favorite parts was the three different types of rice--I mixed them together with the dishes, which made each bite a little more interesting. The coconut mushroom soup was amazing, with a rich and comforting flavor. I was surprisingly impressed by the eggplant side dish as well. I'm not usually a fan of eggplant's texture, but it was cooked so well that I actually enjoyed it, and the flavorful sauce helped even more. To finish, the mango coconut pudding was light and refreshing. You could really taste the freshness of the mango, and it wasn't overly sweet--a perfect ending to the meal. Many tables to choose from on a Saturday. The restaurant itself is hidden away in an alleyway so not a lot of foot traffic, it's like a hole in the wall restaurant that you have to find.
