This is the first time I came to this restaurant. A classic hole in the wall jewel! Two beautiful, elder ladies took my order as soon as I got in. They were so sweet. They seem to be a staple in the community since several customers that came in had that familiarity that only regulars enjoy. Could the place use an upgrade? Yes. Was the food worth it? Absolutely!! read more

Bomb Thai food. Service was good. Wasn't too busy when we got there and got packed when we left. Cash only - but food is cheap here! We ordered Pad See Ew with chicken, shrimp fried rice, coconut shrimp soup and tea. Not the most aesthetically pleasing restaurant but the food makes up for it. The staff is elderly people mostly-so cute! I didn't get photos but I will be back again! :) read more

Honestly not gunna lie the food was good but once we got there there were to tables available for us to sit but we still had to wait to get seated down there was no urgency to service us , then when we orderd they tooo extremely long to bring us our plates of food it took 10 min on each plate to come to our table , the food was good no complaints there but lord they took so long even people around us were complaining about the same issues that they took long on bring our food out read more

Service was good at first. Server came by in an appropriate time and took orders. Gave us complimentary fried bananas and we also ordered egg rolls which were good. Soon after the apps, the first dish arrives that my dad ordered. It's chow mein but noodles are so small like top ramen size and chopped up, difficult to pick up with fork and no flavor. For some reason the other dishes were not brought out for at least another 15 min or so. Luckily my dad offered to share as we waited but easily he could have been done with the plate by the time we got ours! I noticed the chow main wasn't super hot either but maybe bc we let it sit for a few min thinking our other plates were coming soon and we would all eat together but since that didnt happen we went ahead and started sharing his. Then the second dish came his friend got was ginger pork, which I tried a piece and was pretty good. We got a large bowl of rice to share so that came next. Finally my "curry" showed up... supposed to be shrimp yellow curry? It was actually just the shrimp and veggies in a broth. I mean it wasn't bad for what it was but def not curry so that was disappointing. Overall left feeling like that was a waste of money, sooo many better Thai places for the same prices they charge and actually quality food. I mean we got the basic classic dishes that most Thai places make similarly but this place has strange recipes. This restaurant also has a 'B' rating but by the time we found it all other Thai places were closed for the night. It's a hole in the wall, smelled like silly puddy walking in? And just a grime run down vibe. Wish we had checked out that all you can eat bbq place next door instead! Will never go back here. read more

THAI OCEAN IS A GOOD SPOT FOR THAI FOOD, i am a returning customer my friends and i always come here! they have really good quality food honestly the prices are okay and not that bad! but i do recommend they need to make their spot a little bit bigger or move somewhere better for them! but yeah the service isn't the best it is family owned and only one person taking orders so their is a wait but the food is really worth it! they're a really great spot overall i love their food! it always hits the spot and yeah i would recommend anyone to come try them out and they are very nice people as wfriendly reminder cash only!! read more

Excellent food and kind service. This is my go to place no complaints on dining in or take out.

I walked in yesterday evening and right away noticed a rodent making its way out from inside the restaurant and went out the door ! I was very skeptical about staying. I waited to notify someone not sure if it was the owner , she seemed bothered when I told her about rodent , very rude ! The place outside looks very dirty and a lot of homeless people with trash by the restaurant. Immediately left ! Won't give it another chance . read more

The food is horrible and cheap the chowmein tasted like cup of noodles for the portions they serve the prices are outrageous the food does not have a good taste the service was not good and the restaurant looks very old and crowded with tables.I will not be going back. read more

First time I tried this restaurant and I DO NOT recommend it. They took too long to call us in. After we got called in we still waited a long time for our food. The pad Thai was not good. The service sucked. I can tell they are nice people but overall, the food was not good. I will not come back. read more

Terrible but terrible services. I mean i love Paulina but no improvement after so many years. During summer time it's so hot and the ac does not work or they refuse to turn it on. So many things to sadly list and it hurts to say but necessary. read more

Standard/above average prices with small portions. The curry we ordered was pretty good but portioned for a small adult/child. Same with the pad thai, and beef satay. The food is okay but the prices they charge aren't justified. The service was also lacking. No water refills, wasn't that busy. read more

Just cause I can't rate it 0 starts or else I would ! Walked in sat myself down; and no one ever approached us to tell us "Will be right with you" . Waited at least 15 minutes, until I decided to get up and go to the cashier and ask if I'm going to get helped. Got a rude answer . There was a few other tables as well waiting to get helped . The guy just kept on helping the customers that were already eating . He would pass by us and wouldn't take our order . BAD SERVICE ! First and last time ! read more

I paid $18 for this to go, when I get home I was, are you kidding me . How they can charge $18 for this. If this happens often, we have to report it to the city. read more

It's really good food wise which is sad the only thing is that it is really small in there uncomfortably small they need to move somewhere else or make it bigger I asked to use the restroom and I had to be like right next to the man washing dishes while I waited it was wierd read more

This place is bomb!! I love coming here, the soup never disappoints. It's made fresh and it's a hidden spot so not many people come here. There is a overrated and flavorless Thai ocean restaurant next block over that a lot of people go to. The Abuelita is amazing and provides great customer service. You get free plantains when you come in and the soups are so good. They have their own parking lot and always find parking. The soup is lemony and hot. The rice is soft and moist. Never dry. My childhood and forever to-go spot read more

I been coming here since I was 3years old. My parents would rent the entirety restaurant for our Bday celebration. Over the years I still come here and bring my kids here. I'm 31 and still loving the food here. Thai Ocean would always be my number one. Sabrina the owner is Family and she's been amazing with the new generation. AND IF YOU SEE FOOD ON THE TABLE is for their Beliefs. Please respect that. I seen reviews here and honestly I respect your experience but trust me no other Ocha place would satisfied you like Thai Ocean . read more

Family and I have been going this simple yet amazing establishment since 2005, we always get the 7 seas seas food soup along with white rice, mixed chowmein and breaded shrimp. It does get very packed with customers around lunch time and dinner as well but it's worth the wait and the food still tastes the same since the first time I went there. read more

I really hate to do bad reviews! But unfortunately this place needs to know how BAD it is... First when you walk in, there's cold entry food already served on the tables saw a fly inside the place.. then a very old lady comes out, and she has a very very very dirty apron and she looks dirty herself.. ughh im sorry because i really respect elders, and then.. bunch of empty boxes makes the place look dirty enough. NOW THE FOOD omg omg omg.. I ordered Pad thai noodles sorrt don't know how to spell it.. which DOES NOT TASTE AT ALLLLLLL LIKE IT! It's completely without any flavor! Noooo flavor at alllll ... and i also ordered chicken fried rice.. and also nooooo flavor what so ever.. omg i am sooo mad i paid $24 because i couldnt even eat it.. ill have to wait till my shift is over and go home and add stuff to it. I'm very surprised since i know Thai food is very rich in flavors and this was like i was eating watered down rice n noodles.. The "Chef" should be ashame of himself for doing this! read more

This spot is not good at all. All the food leaves a nasty after taste and your mouth and the seafood soup is so nasty . Never going back

Cash only. Ordered the pad se ew chicken which was good. Customer service was okay. They have 1 Male running the place. I am here and all tables are full- this guy is taking orders, bringing out feed, catering to other requests, picking up phone orders. So be patient here. Also, it's a thai restaurant and everyone eatinghere is hispanic and everyone ordered the seafood soup. I am thinking it's good and a popular dish. You should try. read more

To the sweetest "female" owners thank you for always serve Thai food fresh and receive all kind of people with dignity and respect, my husband and I have enjoyed the best food we ever ate nearby Chinatown, I love this nice place. read more

When you think of authenticity, family style cooking this is a prime example of a restaurant that delivers. The staff were very attentive and kind and the overall ambience reminded me of being amongst family. My friend is pescatarian so we ordered the seafood fried rice and the Mussels with Chili and Garlic. The seafood fried rice was very yummy and fresh with a variety of seafood within it. Seasoned enough to be enjoyed by itself without any condiment. The Mussels were next level delicious. For the price point I was just really blown away by how delicious everything was. I definitely need to come back and explore the large menu some more. Definitely come if you're thinking about it, with some friends or family could be a great meal out. read more

Shrimp fried rice only had like 4 shrimp sitting on top. Service was kind and taste is good tho. read more

I usually don't like to leave negative comments on a place unless I have eaten more than once, as I am a believer that everyday can have its ups and downs, but this place is sure just one of those downs. I had a tasteless pad Thai, and a mediocre shrimp fried rice (dried). I don't recommend this place, but if it's the only thing around than go for it. read more

I get this place can be a hit or miss for many. However, I've probably only had 2 or 3 bad experiences here out of so many times I've been here. I would recommend people give it a shot at least once. It's not the worst and the food is pretty tasty. read more

I'd drive through LA's 10-East fwy traffic for this place,ANYTIME! Hands down,the best Thai food in LA. Servers are very nice and attentive! My fav's are: -shrimp chow mien -shrimp fried rice -and a nice ice-cooled coke on the side. This is not a Mc Donald's people! Don't expect your food to come in 10 minutes or less because there is only about two servers/busters and two cooks so the food does take 20/30 minutes to come out. So watch it,if you're ordering to go for your brief work break. And be patient when you decide to sit down. Plenty of parking! read more

I've been going here for years. The owner I assume is always super polite. It's a little hidden but it's basically like Ochoa but I feel like it's less expensive and less crowded. Owner always gives a very warm welcome. Customer service from her is great. The food is the same as getting it from ocha. read more

Easily one of the worst meals in my life. Terrible service. Had to send back dirty dishes multiple times. Love my hood Asian food spots but this place ain't one of them lol. Don't come here! Nasty! read more

One and a half stars. At some point you realize a break is needed from the monotony of pizza or Italian delivery, and you cave to the rival Thai menu pamphlets wedged into your door every month. The pad thai ends up being a congealed mess with a healthy dose of wilting bean sprouts and coarsely chopped peanuts, but the pork is at least barely overcooked. Fried wonton have sizzled into the styrofoam, but the greasy goodness makes for an agreeable finish to the night of debauchery. read more

i have LOVED this place for yearssss, since i was younger. i have NO complaints whatsoever. i've never gotten sick off of anything. the food has ALWAYS tasted delicious every time you order it. Every. Single. Time. and yes. there's things here and there that could be better, but it's a mom n pop family business, so that's the price you pay sometimes for that "hole-in-the-wall" deliciousness that CAN'T be beat! i'm gonna love this place til i can't no more! read more

Their seafood soup is the best I've had. Others try to make a similar soup, but it's not the same. I also love the combination fried rice and beef salad. The owner of the restaurant is a sweet old Thai lady, but the servers aren't always so friendly. Unfortunately they don't deliver. The place also tends to get really busy on weekends, with lines coming out the door. But it's really great soup and rice. That's what everyone comes here for. read more
