My Father's Day meal was awesome! I love Thai food from anywhere, and this place serves the best yellow curry, crab rangoon, and pepper steak I've had. Service was perfect and the ambiance was lovely. My number one restaurant is Thai Kitchen in Bellevue, but if you're in Issaquah, you have to try this place out -- you will not be disappointed. Enjoy! read more

O'Char Thai Cuisine - Thai Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

This is a small restaurant in a good sized strip mall in Issaquah. Has been around for "ages", and I am sure the ownership and the staff has changed over the years. We have dined here before over the years -- over the decades. The current owners (?)/staff seems a bit overwhelmed when restaurant became full. Service is courteous but slow. Food taste has gone down. It's just not the same place that, at one time, was our favorite Thai. Wife had the basic Pad Thai (she's not adventurous) and liked it. I tried the Tom Yum with Basa Fish -- spice got bit overwhelming toward the end, but good ... lots of ingredients. But, I'm giving them 3 stars, an average. They have too many competitors that delivers much better dishes in the area. read more

This is a great family-owned spot. It is not fancy but I much prefer here than Bai Tong. Service was good. Wait staff was friendly and nice. Food was solid. Wasn't the best but it was decent and I would come back read more

The food was good , had the pork pad Thai, little salty and my friend had chicken teriyaki. She said it was too salty for her. The ambience is quiet, relaxing. Was good for a quick lunch. read more

We visited with 2 adults and one toddler. There was hardly anyone in the restaurant, so we were seated right away. The staff member who helped us was very kind and even suggested we sit near the fish tank to keep our toddler entertained. He was very attentive and brought everything out so quickly. The food was very tasty, and we enjoyed everything we tried (even our picky toddler ate everything we offered him). We will definitely return. read more

I ordered the Thai Spicy Noodle Soup and Phad Kaprow with scallops for delivery. It was good; nothing extra amazing about it, but I enjoyed it. Maybe I'll take the chance to dine in one day. read more

It's a small place conveniently located near Costco main campus. Seated right away and food came quickly. Prices are fair for the area but the food was below average. I like supporting small businesses but the food was just not that good. The Panang curry lacked flavor. And the pad Thai was on the sour side and very wet and sticky. Eggrolls were crispy and fresh though and decent. read more

I ordered a stir fry from the lunch menu. It was just ok, not a whole lot of flavor, but the worst thing is that the meat in the dish was super skimpy! Very thinly sliced to look like more, and scattered about, but I doubt very much it was much over 3 ounces of meat in the dish, mostly vegetables and not a whole lot of that either. I felt ripped off. I won't be returning. read more

we were only in town for a few nights, and we ate here for dinner all 3 nights. the food is authentic and delicious (as well as the thai iced tea!) and service is fast and the man taking our order was very helpful and polite. comfortable and relaxing atmosphere with a cool fish tank to watch if you order takeout :) seriously recommend!! read more

I should have written this review a LONG time ago. My family has been going to O'Char for over 20 years. The food is consistently delicious with generous portions at reasonable prices. Family owned and operated and super friendly. We've tried several other perhaps better known Thai restaurants in Issaquah, Bellevue and Seattle and always go back to O'char. Highly recommend. read more

They screwed up 3 out of the 4 things we ordered, then charged gratuity when I said something about it he said I wrote down what you ordered. no you didn't. food was sub par at Best. receipt wasnt itemized. it was my sisters birthday and we used to go when she was a kid so I didn't wanna make a scene in front of her but it was appalling to me. I will never go here again and I highly recommend you don't go either. its literally the worst Thai food in Issaquah. read more

Our appeptizer combo was pretty good, with crab Ragoon, egg roll and deep fried gyoza, all were tasty and satisfying. My lady's garlic chicken lunch special came in good portion with pad thai and rice. They used chicken breast for the dish which was rather dry in texture and a heavy taste of pepper, a bit too spicy. My selection of Seafood Tom Yum was on the sweet side, not enough sour flavor in balance. It was a very mild taste even though I ordered 3 stars spice level. The ingredients were adequate except I didn't enjoy the salmon pieces, it tasted very fishy and did not compliment the dish well. Also the sticky rice I received seemed not freshly prepared, could be left over from the day before. We love Thai cusines, and this place was a less than our expectation. read more

I ordered a lunch special. Chicken red curry with pad thai. It was "okay"... The cleanliness of the restaurant was a little concerning considering they'd recently received an Excellent on the health inspection. The food was just okay. Nothing special. I was hungry so I ate more than I should have. The curry lacked real flavor. The flavor was a little bitter, but no coconut or ginger or garlic rang through like it normally does in Thai food. On the plus side, the food was hot and there was plenty of it for a lunch deal. This is the second time I've been there in about a year. I won't go back. There was just nothing I liked about it. read more

hands down the best Thai restaurant on the Eastside-anything off the menu will be delicious, but I recommend the pad kee mao, fried rice, cashew chicken, red or green curry, and the chicken satays. The lunch combo continues to be a family favorite for the variety of options. Must visit if you're in Issaquah! read more

Usually pretty good Thai food with cute cozy seating (precorona) however this time I went in and ordered my dishes with tofu but was given chicken thus it was a waste since we do not eat meat :( they even offered me a refund to fix their mistake but I never received it. read more

My family has eaten here twice in one week. The green curry is so amazing. We also got sweet and sour tofu, pad Thai and yellow curry. I love love love the green curry, can't emphasize that enough. Definitely our go to for curry now. So happy to have found this place. read more

By far one of the best Thai food restaurants we have ever had. Service quick and friendly. Price was reasonable too.

Just had dinner, crispy garlic chicken and phad kee mao. Best in area, fresh ingredients and perfect portion for price. Our go to for Thai.

Small shop with very few seating so be aware if you are going to dine in. The pad kee mao was mediocre at best. Slightly sour flavor and not spicy at all even though I had got medium spice. The pad see ew with chicken tasted off. I usually am not one to waste food, however I could not finish this entree. Lastly, the yellow curry was really watered down. Wish I didn't order it because it was ~$15 for a small bowl with rice. read more

I have been coming to this place for many years. I am so disappointed and mad. I was just there and whatever they were doing was so foul I ordered and left without paying. The plumbing company was there and instead of closing the restaurant, they stayed open, serving food! The plumbers proceeded to take trash bags full of what smelled like human waste out of the front door, right past me. I asked the gentleman server what was happening and he eluded it was not human waste but rotting food from somewhere in the kitchen and that "I asked if we should have closed but we did not." They came back through and I was so horrified and almost vomited. He then followed me and flipped the closed sign. There was another couple in there. I have no idea what they did. I have worked in restaurants for years. I have NEVER experienced anything like this. I'm so grossed out and angry. I have never written a bad review or walked out on a meal. Health code violations and wtf. read more

The moment I tried the paid thai, instant piece of heaven in my mouth. Best pad thai I have had in a while. Rice was really good too and not dry. Service is really good as well and prices are reasonable. I was excited to see that they have ice for water. 10/10 recommend to anyone who is looking for a good thai place! read more

The food is so-so. We ordered the mongolian chicken and tofu and found it okay. Nothing special about it. The food was ready very quickly, in about ten minutes. We confused it to be ocha thai which is the most amazing thai we have had! Don't be silly like us and be confused :) read more

O'Char Thai Cuisine - Thai Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

Generous portion and decent flavor on the main entries. The appetizer is a little plain and overpriced though. We were there at Friday night for dinner with friends, four adults and two kids in total. Lots of appetizers and entries were ordered and we shared the dishes with each other a little bit. Most entries were solid choices with nice flavor and big portion, but the appetizers were a little disappointed. We ordered Spring rolls and Gyoza for appetizer. The Gyoza was deep fried instead of pan fried, which seems unauthentic to me. Both flavors are OK, a little plain but not too bad. A little bite expensive for just 6 pieces though. I got the red curry duck and was impressed by it. The curry sauce have a great combination of sweet, spicy and sour, and the duck meat gives it a nice flavor, making it perfect with rice. If any complains, there could be more duck meat in the dish. However for a $10 dish, I couldn't ask more. Also tried Phad eggplant my wife order and it was pretty good, too. They pre-fried the eggplant first, so it tasted very soft and juicy, and not too greasy. Another well done dish. Though they don't have anything fancy, they do have great flavor food with good portion and reasonable price. It's good choice for daily lunch or family out for a quick dinner...just skip the appetizer. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for 12 years now. They are consistent, maybe a bit Americanized but still really good. They have good & fast service which is appreciated! Their lunch portions are very big! enough for 2 lunches. If you are a hungry monster, you will be happy ordering their lunch combos, that's for sure! I recently tried the spicy noodle soup which comes with tofu, chicken and shrimp and that's my new thing... every day I am feeling under the weather, or when we've had too many rainy days in a row, I crave it. Actually the soup alone awarded this place its 4th star... they would have scored 3 if it wasn't for the soup. read more

I have been coming here for lunch for a few times now. The food is always good, and service is always nice as well. I only had the meals at lunch, so the food is from the lunch menu. They have combo that you can order cashew nut chicken with rice and phad thai. The cashew chicken is really good, howerver the phad thai came with the rice is very plain. My friend really likes the Mogolian Beef there, that i haven't tried. I also really like their fried rice. Today I actually asked them to make it spicy. (3 stars). It was REALLY good. Just a side note: The price the dish is for chicken/tofu. If you order the beef, it may cost you another $1.00. So read the menu! The place is right near my work, so I would come back here as often as I can. read more

NO WAY!!! THIS IS YOUR PAD THAI? REALLY?? DAMN!! Honestly, I was really hoping this place would be good, saw it several times shopping in the mall, and I love Thai food, but this place is the worst one yet! Sorry, but I would drive 30 minutes to Seattle and eat there then subject myself to this place again! Passed a urgent care on the way home, thought about it for a second...lol read more

We usually go to O'char in eastgate, bit we were returning something at Lowes, so this was convenient. The Issaquah branch is smaller than eastgate: they seat 48. The place was almost empty at 9pm on Friday night - the only other couple wrapped up as we came on. We ordered crab Rangoon and swimming angel with scallops. Plus brown rice. The food was fine - veggies fresh and crunchy/not overcooked, peanut sauce very savory. I saw in another review a corny about sour water. They put lemon slices in the water pitcher (check out picture I took). Soft pop radio in the background. Kinda noisy kitchen. no bad smells in the air. A decent place for a quick Thai fix read more

I was staying at the Hilton Homewood suites nearby. Found this place via Yelp. Ordered Thai iced tea, Thai fried rice, chicken satay, and gyoza. My order was ready in 15 minutes from the time of my call. Everything was warm, well packed, and delicious. And quantity wise there was enough fir at least 3 people. Highly recommend. read more

I was looking for a place for lunch in Issaquah, so I naturally grabbed my phone and looked for Thai restaurants near me. That's when I found O'Char on Yelp, viewed the menu linked to their website and ordered two lunch specials (~$8.50 each) and Tom Kha soup ($~4.95). The total should've been $25, but when I showed up to pay for my food I was quoted $36. It turns out they display a lower price on their online menu, then charge a higher price when you get there. I brought this up to the lady, who couldn't care less about their mistake. So I paid the higher amount and brought it home to my wife. While the rice and Phad Thai were decent, the main dish (Chicken, Broccoli, Carrots) had a very fishy taste to the sauce, which it was absolutely swimming in. I could understand the pricing mistake, but the fishy-tasting chicken dish and the attitude of the server when I communicated the error deserve this low rating. read more

Loved the lunch specials we got. Chicken red curry and mongolian beef. Generous portions.

Tasty and friendly service. We have been eating there for the last 5-6 years. Food is quite authentic and taste is well above average. Recommended: - Spicy basil noodles - Tom Yum soup - Panang curry - Shrimp fried rice --- tastiest fried rice I have ever eaten! Try it! read more

Yum. We love everything here. Tom Ka Gai soup is excellent. My husband and I do take our here often. The food is very tasty and consistent. Staff is always pleasant. I think it's one of the best in Issaquah. read more

Went for a late lunch on Sunday, very convenient parking right outside. There were a few other tables but we were seated right away. It is a fairly small restaurant. We ordered a variety of food and it all came out pretty fast. The sample appetizer was so so, the spring rolls tasted kind of bland. It would be awesome if they had more than just two each of the three different appetizers. Makes it hard to share when you are with a group of people. The teriyaki chicken was really sweet. Would not order it again. We also had a combo 2 and combo 5 I believe. Both of the pad Thai tasted great :) especially if you mix it with some more hot sauce! We also ordered a spicy thai noodle (soupy) and a spicy chicken basil thai noodle (no soup). Both were requested to be on their very spicy level. The latter one tasted great and was super spicy! Perfect :) the soupy one had a mixture of sweet and spicy. The Thai teas tasted pretty good but was a little on the sweeter side for me. Overall the food is good and I would go back there. You can see the kitchen from the dining area which makes it kind of neat. read more
