Pretty average for Thai food. Only go because it's open till 9 and within walking distance.

Thai ocean is conveniently placed right next to greenlake. The service is average but the food is great especially the Pumpkin curry is to die for! read more

I work near Thai Ocean and order from them consistently. Friendly service and delicious. I love their curries with white rice. Been there for years for a good reason. read more

I've eaten there a few times over the yeras. Each time the food was very underwhelming. The food didn't taste bad, but it was very bland. Their Pad Thai stands out in blandness and lack of freshness. It's as if they cooked up a bunch of noodles a few days ago and serve from that batch. The noodle texture definitely felt the same as when I leave spaghetti in the fridge over night. Thai Ocean is conveniently located if you're near Green Lake, but the food isn't worth buying in my opinion. It would be nice if they put more effort into cooking up fresh, authentic, and delicious tasting Thai food. But it seems this is not a priority for them. read more

Nice staff, nice location (really close to my house), nice interior (a fresh rose on each table). It's definitely not going to replace Thai Tom in my heart/stomach. My friend had chicken pad thai with 1 star spice and I had tofu phad see ew with 4 stars spice ($10 each). Both of us thought the food was fine, but not spicy at all. Will I go back? Probably, but only because it's right next door. read more

I have only eaten inside of this place once of the 15-20 times I've gotten their food, so I can't really comment on the service. I usually get a noodle dish and a curry. The curries never dissappoint. The green curry is phenomenal, and the panag curry good too. Sometimes the phad thai is too saucy and sweet, and other times the phad see-iuw isn't friend enough. But on the whole their dishes are good, it's pretty inexpensive, and take out is ready in 15 minutes, max. I'll keep coming back to this place. read more

The $6.95 Fresh Rolls are mostly stuffed full with ICEBERG lettuce, one (1) piece of julienned carrot, one (1) tiny sliver of cucumber & one (1) piece of spinach & one (1) tiny sliver of basil...the menu says nothing about lettuce of any kind & it described the rolls as containing "carrotS," & "cucumberS." What a rip off! read more

One of the worst customer service I have EVER had. Went here for an early dinner with some friends tonight. Place was empty, that should've been a sign to leave then but decided to give it a try regardless. The woman working the front counter was nice enough: no smiles but nice enough for me to not care. Food was below average. As a regular thai food eater, this place was more than disappointing. My friend and I ordered Phad kee Mao (drunken Noddles) and another friend ordered sweet and sour chicken. Our Phad kee Mao was dry, almost no taste. Had to ask for some hot sauce to add flavor. We were starving so we didn't care much and ate. However the real surprise came when we paid and left the restaurant. We were getting into our cars when the lady (same lady who served us) came out yelling at us with receipts flying in her hands because one of us didn't leave a tip. We had paid desperately for our meal with 3 different transactions and decided to leave a bigger tip on one and none on the 3rd due to some money we owed each other. WHAT KIND OF RESTAURANT SERVICE IS THAT?!?! She Followed us to the car and demanded we leave a tip for her. It wasn't even worth arguing over so we left an average amount of tip and left. Horrible.Horrible Horrible. Will never be returning to this place again. read more

Let me preface this by saying that I used to LOVE this place... their panang curry is amazing. BUT one fateful night, something happened. I brought my fork up to my mouth, and I was staring eye-to-eye right at a grasshopper (or a roach...? Not sure, but regardless it was deceased, thankfully). Needless to say, I was thorougly grossed out, and got my money back from the owners. Every time I begin to miss the food here, I just think of the three words: Insect Pad Thai... read more

We get take out from here often as we live very close. Their Tom Yum is okay (I prefer Krittikas) but it is reasonably priced. It's hit or miss on the spice. Sometimes 4* is not too hot, other times it's like WHOA. A little more consistency on the spiciness would go a long way. Overall it's reliably tasty though, and for the convenience factor it gets 4* (I would give 3.5 if that were an option...) read more

Thai Ocean is becoming my next best place to have inexpensive Thai food that isn't too much an Americanized version of the real thing. With all the thai restaurants around Seattle, it has to be something special to catch my eye and this is it. I can't wait for warmer weather so I can sit outside and watch the cyclists zipping around Ravenna/Greenlake area. read more

When we moved to Seattle we knew that we would be able to find LOTS of Thai food. We were so pleased to find our favorite so near to our new home. Thai Ocean is so fantastic! They are really good about making it spicey- if you ask for a Four you are going to get something REALLY hot. My husband loves spicey things and the four was almost too much for him! read more

Great take-out since it's usually ready in ten minutes or so. After grabbing the goods, walk it over to a bench along the lake for a great meal with a great view. read more

My favorite place for pud kee mao! The patio and interior are super cute for eating in as well. I've eaten here probably a dozen times now and they've never made a mistake in my order. read more

If you are tired of the wait staff following up your request to make the dish vegetarian with "Shrimp OK?" this is the place to be. Their kitchen actually thinks through the recipe and makes an effort to leave the animals out. Their soups are wonderful. The only complaint I have is that their background music is slightly too loud for my taste. read more

This is the cheapest and best thai lunch you can have in the Greenlake area. The portions are big, and include a salad and spring rolls. If you eat in, the decor is average, but there's a beautiful fish tank in the back to gaze at. In the summer, this you can eat on their patio, which has some greenery and sunlight. read more

I eat here quite often and I've never had anything that wasn't exactly what I wanted and expected. The service is great as well.

Thai Ocean is fast, friendly and delicious. What more could you want? Though Thai restaurants are fairly ubiquitous in Seattle, this one by Greenlake certainly doesn't disappoint. Great Phad Thai and Phad See-Ew. read more

If I could give zero stars I would! For health reasons I have to have my spinach cooked. Ordering swimming angels one would think it would come cooked right ? No! Sauce and chicken were on a bed of uncooked baby spinach that were dry to the touch! So I couldn't eat it. As far as my pad see ew with beef I couldn't get past that my lips were covered in oil and the beef didn't have any taste. One more thing lol ( it's just that bad) I asked for an order of rice. Never would have thought it would be brown rice wish they would have asked if that's okay because I wouldn't have spent the money on it ! It was just an awful experience. If you like excellent Thai food ...this is not the place for you. read more

Alright in a pinch but think any restaurant could take over their lease and do much better in this neighborhood. The food always has WAY too much fish sauce and is often overcooked. If you are starving and it is the only place open - you might want to see what is left in the back of your fridge. read more

Terrible service, terribly bland and low quality food. There's much better places around. Life's too short yo eat mediocrely.

So the (still present) veggie GF and I were out on a day adventure yesterday at Greenlake and decided to swing in Thai Ocean for lunch. We really wanted to try a new place with an outdoor patio, alas Yelp helped us find Thai Ocean. First impression is that it's a bit divey, not all the way divey, but distinctly leaning that way. Also, if you've read my reviews you should know that I am not judging, in fact I really like dives. We decided to eat outside on the "patio", be aware the patio is not that big and it doesn't see sun until the late afternoon. Despite it being a quite nice day in Seattle we were a bit chilly on the patio. So we shared the fresh rolls as apps and my non carnivorous friend had a small bowl of the Tom Kha Gai (coconut soup) subbing the chicken for tofu. Now, I didn't think the fresh rolls were the bees knees but in all honesty I struggle with anything that doesn't have meat. The GF really liked them and the soup. Moving on to mains the GF had the fried Tofu as a main and I had the Moo Yaung (grilled pork). I have to say I really liked the flavors of the Moo Yaung, the meat was spiced really well. I felt it was a bit overcooked but I understand the tendency to overcook pork. The chili sauce on the side was incredible. I wound up ordering a side of rice and was using the chili sauce to drizzle on the rice and eating it in conjunction with the pork. All in all the food was good and I can see us heading in again for a meal if we're in the neighborhood. The only real downside was the length of the meal. I was incredible long, especially for a lunch. We were out doing a combination of errands and just enjoying the weather. This stop in lunch took up far more of our time that we ever anticipated. read more

Thai Ocean is a solid 3. It's exactly what you would expect from Thai food in Seattle, but nothing more. We ordered a noodle dish and a curry take out the other night ... it was good, satisfied the Thai craving, but not amazing. read more

I beg to differ with Astro M's review. I do NOT like seafood at all or anything with seafood or fish flavor and i NEVER have eaten a dish at Thai Ocean that had too much fish sauce. My fiance, a Thai food newbie, brought me here after a friend of his brought him. He never know he liked Thai food til he came here, and wouldn't listen to my urges to try it. I on the other hand love Thai food and have sampled many an area restaurant. So I can tell you that Thai Ocean is one of the best Thai restaurants in the Seattle area. We don't get there as much as we'd like since we now live in Kent, but I can tell you....the 1st time we went there I was a couple months pregnant, our son is now 13 months old. As infrequently as make it in, they ALWAYS remember us every time we go in. The owners are so friendly, and the guy who's usually waiting tables is super friendly. Now for the food, the pad thai like many have said is hit or miss. I've only had it a couple times since the 1st time I was not so impressed. But the pineapple fried rice and the panang curry are always EXCELLENT!! I also like to have the yellow curry, and my fiances friend told me if I ask them to add mixed veggies in it they will, but I have yet to do that since its so filling the way it is. The mango sticky rice, omg, is SO yummy!!! Although I usually have to force myself to leave room for it, since everything else is so delicious. I do also have to disagree with the reviewers who claim the food is SUPER spicy. I tend to order my food 4 star and then ask for chili sauce on the side to spice it to my liking. My fiance will usually order 3 star which is good for him, but tends to taste not spicy at all to me. All in all Thai Ocean is really good, the food is good, the service is great, and I wish we could get there more. We are scared to sample Thai in Kent because we just don't think it will stack up. read more

Had Mongolian beef last night at Thai Ocean last night. The meat was like shoe leather. Had to spit it out. Very small quantity. The brown rice was not the typical brown rice. My daughter liked her chicken green curry dish, so she orders it regularly. My husband's shrimp/snow peas was very average. It's conveniently located to us, but I will look elsewhere in the future to find better food. read more

Come in an Thai one on...see what i did there? Seriously though, this place is great. Nice little outdoor sitting area. Standard Thai restaurant decor inside, there are photos of The King of Thailand inside. The food was very delicious and very fresh, the lady that served us was very nice and prompt. I know most Thai places are very similar, and this one does not deviate too much, but if you are in the neighborhood and want thai, this will not disappoint! read more

This is my go-to Thai Place. Everything is excellent and they are fast. I'm so lucky it's my neighborhood joint!

Thai Ocean's shrimp Pad Thai is great (Smoky and flavorful!) Stop by when you're done torturing yourself (I mean exercising...) at Greenlake. There is a parking lot here, and indoor/outdoor seating (depending on the weather.) Food is available to go. read more

Great pad Thai and really good service

We eat here fairly often because the location is convenient and the food is pretty good. I'm not sure why, but the food is kind of "hit or miss" sometimes. I always order the yellow curry and it is always good. However, my husband always orders the cashew chicken and it is NOT always good. Sometimes it is good... sometimes it is not. I've never had anything else on their menu. It's not the best thai I've ever had, however it gets the job done. We usually order it "to go", but we've eaten inside a few times. The atmosphere is average. Personally, I enjoy eating it at home. I say, give it a shot. Your chances of getting good food are higher than your chances of getting "okay" food. Your safest bet is the yellow curry. read more

I've had better meals here before - maybe they had a different chef last week. I had the Rad Na (Stir fried wide noodles topped with broccoli, carrots and cabbage in black bean sauce) with tofu. The noodles were all stuck together and slimy. The sauce was bland. The worst thing though was that I asked for extra broccoli - the dish came with about 7 florets -- and they charged for the extra. I hate when restaurants skimp on the veggies. Also, staff were not very attentive - it wasn't a busy night but no one came by to take our order for quite a while until we flagged down the person pouring water to send someone out. read more

Often when I go to a restaurant, I have my go to dish. Here the feast is; Swimming Angel, Red Curry with Chicken, and Chicken Pad Thai. Every single one is awesome. I almost always do take out. I call and in 15 minutes it is ready. Thai Ocean has never disappointed me. There was once the spice was too hot but that is on me being over zealous with my stars. read more

Great Thai food, friendly service. This is my boyfriend's favorite Thai restaurant in Seattle, and I've also found then to make consistently tasty food and good value. read more

My wife and two kids love going to Thai Ocean. The portions are huge, the price is great, and the staff is extremely accommodating. My wife and I don't get to eat out often with 2 kids, and no family around so we eat at Thai Ocean whenever we go out to eat. We live within walking distance, so it is convenient for us. Plus, whenever we walk to Greenlake park, we have to smell the food which just motivates us to eat there more. Plus in the summer, we love to eat out on the deck. We love Thai Ocean. read more

I eat here on monthly basis and it is consistently great! The food and service is excellent. My kids (3, 5) love it as well.

Stopped here on a whim because I was in the neighborhood and I'm SO glad I did. Ordered the yellow curry with chicken. Absolutely delicious, some of the best yellow curry I've had in the Seattle area. I'm super disappointed this isn't in my neighborhood. Service was nice, waitresses friendly. The best thai places are always little hole-in-the-walls! read more

Love the Thai Ocean Fried Rice with chicken, I always end up with leftovers- it might even be better the second day! They have a great outdoor patio and are dog friendly so I like to come here with my Frenchie and sit on the outside deck for delicious thai and a glass of wine! read more

Pretty good Thai food, but I have had better. Got the yellow curry w/ Prawns, which was good, except for the huge chunks of potatoes in it. Prawns were of a nice size and tasty. Curry good, but a little on the thin side for me. Crab Ragoon was good, as was the Pineapple Fried Rice. read more

reasonably priced, reasonably okay. Nothing great, but it's close to home so we thought we'd try it. With all the thai in Seattle though, I probably won't go again. Service is good. read more

Always great food, always incredibly friendly service, they set the bar in Seattle for Thai food.
