    Chicken Basil Fried Rice
    Saniya H.

    I will be back!! The food came out quickly and they were accommodating for my gluten allergy. I tried their chicken basil fried rice. It was delicious and the portions were a decent size for 1.5-2 people depending on how hungry you are. I'll be back to try other things!

    Solid. Dependable. Hot Fresh Wok. Open Kitchen. Always busy, flagrant. A go-to spot during the work week. Convenient, short waits, tasty, fair pricing. I realize different type of cuisine/food/region can demand different cooking techniques, for example my review of Aroy Mak and the lukewarm food is most likely due to the fact that their menu items require less heat to bring out the best in their food, thus maybe a tad harsh of a review, but I still don't believe they are worth waiting in line for if the wait is out the door, especially if you drove longer then 25min to get there. For O'Char, its just consistent, tasty, hot. Perhaps I align more with hotter temperature food I can admit. See you soon again!

    One of the better options in the crossroads mall food court. I've had the pad Thai here a few times and quality can be inconsistent however still satisfying. They are a popular option in the food court so they can get busy and service is always quick and short. The cooks here work hard. I ordered the shrimp pad Thai spice level 3. The spice bar is up to 4. Honestly the food was not spicy sadly and more on the sweet side. Food was still flavorful and tasty but more on the bland side. Something was missing. Didn't enjoy the side salad and wasn't aware I would get that on my plate tbh lol. Also wish they gave lime wedges and more peanuts, and egg with the pad Thai. Shrimp isn't the highest quality. I still devoured my food for a large lunch before work but did not touch the salad. Food is good but not a go to pad Thai restaurant or anything. Good and decent option in the crossroads mall food court. I would return and have but it's very once in a blue moon type of visit tbh.

    Food is always tasty! Consistently very good and reasonably priced. Plenty of parking in the lot right outside

    When you find yourself (a) at Crossroads on a cold day and (b) craving some hot, spicy Thai food, O'Char is a solid option in my opinion. At first I was going to get my standard Pad Thai, but then I noticed they have a Thai noodle soup so I switched over to that. For a very reasonable price, I got this hot bowl of delicious tom yum deliciousness filled with tender rice noodles and topped with jumbo shrimp. The Crossroads food court has so many good options, I usually find myself going to the same ones over and over again, but I'm going to have to add O'Char to my regular rotation. The service was super friendly, too, and FAST! I also appreciated that, if you're not doing take-out, they use real bowls and utensils so there was less waste if I stayed at the food court and ate. Which, of course, I was more than happy to do.

    Phad See Ew w/ Chicken
    Jacques I.

    $14 for mediocre phad see ew? Yeah, no. Take me back to Thailand, please. Okay, I will say that I did just get back from traveling around SE Asia where amazing Asian food will only cost you a few bucks, so I've been spoiled and standards have rose. But shouldn't I like my dinner much more than having lukewarm feelings for it, especially since it was $14? We visited the Crossroads Shopping Center for some errands and decided to check out the food court for dinner. I decided to venture out and try somewhere I hadn't eaten at before; therefore, I was brought to O'Char Thai. O'Char Thai has been at Crossroads forever. And every time I'm at the food court here, O'Char seems to be the food vendor that's always busy. I ordered the phad see ew with chicken and two-star spice, which didn't take long to get. I was excited for my meal, as peeps could see from the open kitchen the flaming woks at work. It's gotta be good. But, I found the phad see ew to be lackluster. The noodles were fine and sauced up, but there was not a lot of veggies or chicken with this dish in comparison to how much noodles you get. I know it's a noodle dish, but the lack of protein and veggies to the proportion of carbs was beyond off. Also, I ordered this dish with medium spice and it was not spicy at all. This phad see ew was expensive for what it was, which makes me hesitant to check out O'Char again, especially since there are better food options at the Crossroads food court. Or ya know, I could just go back to Thailand.

    What's left of my garlic chicken after I plowed through it. Mmmm. Serious dad food here.

    The food is amazing again!! My wife had me drive 40 miles round trip to get it. (I offered) (she didn't actually ask) (thought id get laid, yah this food is that good) (rode my motorcycle to get it) And yes it's worth it. Especially when she's happy. Right guys. Hehe. The service was amazing. I barely stepped away and when I came back and asked for an update. They go are you ... and got my name right. 5 minutes left!! I was impressed. They're getting faster Finally, the place is packed. One of the most popular spots in Crossroads / Bellevue. Thanks O'Char again!!

    Pad 11. Phad Kee Mao

    This place is amazing especially if you consider the speed, variety of food (at the food court) and quality. It is more like 3.5 stars but a solid place to satisfy your craving for Thai/noodles. Super casual and by far the busiest counter at the food court. The pad kee mao (basil rice noodles) with tofu was good. More like a place for everyday meal vs special meal. I would be back to try the combo with doesn't have pad Thai.

    What a pleasant surprise at the Crossroads food court. They cooked everything to order. This did cause us quite a wait, but the food was well prepared. I had the veg delight with chicken. I ordered 3 (out of 4) stars, and it was more like 1.5 stars. That said, it was tasty and a generous portion. I got the brown rice, which was a nice option. I also liked the very fresh salad with the tasty dressing. We waited about 20 minutes at lunchtime on a Sunday.

The chicken was on the drier side and wasn't as crispy as I would've liked. What stole the show for me though, were the roll and the ranch! Their rolls are so pillowy and warm with a slight sweetness to them. So yum! As a gal who claims she doesn't like ranch, theirs surprised me. It was filled with so many spices! Super rich and creamy in all the best ways.

Welp, we came into very full seating inside an extremely tight yet cozy seating area if it weren't for all the noise from there being so many people inside. It was so full and more people kept lining up behind us that we decided to do takeout and eat our food on the hood of my car despite spaces opening up as we waited about 20 or so minutes for our food... did I mention the parking lot for this place was nearly full and spots were very unforgiving in elbow room? Also that it's peak dinner time? Anyway, you place your order on a lone kiosk up front which did contribute to the really long line forming near the outside entrance. Like their Georgetown location, they offer a ton of hearty donburi and some appetizers and soup. Staff were a little rushed with some orders and forgot to give me utensils when I requested them through the kiosk but this didn't affect my overall experience, as I went back and they were more than happy to give them to me. We got their unagi donburi, which consists of a ton of broiled freshwater eel with an umami seasoning and tender juiciness, all on top of a huge bed of rice and with some radish.

You order at the counter before seating yourself, but the staff will bus your tables. There's plenty of parking available and the salsa bar also has some fresh radishes and roasted(?) carrots that I found to be surprisingly well seasoned. Carne Asada Fries: Fries weren't as crispy as I'd like, but the toppings were solid. Beef was decently tender and they were generous with the amount of guacamole. It was my first time seeing beans on fries, but I thought it was pretty solid. Churros: These are definitely pre-made churros that get re-fried. I continue to be on the hunt for fresh churros in the Seattle area, but I wasn't mad at these. The custard had a nice mouthfeel and creamy sweetness, but the whipped cream was a little odd in that it didn't taste like anything at all. Mulitas: I wanted a little more meat in these, but they aren't bad. I like that some of the cheese crisps up a bit on the edges of the tortilla. If I was a little drunk, these would be elite.
