    Lunch portion Panang Curry and rice with Thai iced Tea
    Stephanie L.

    Ordered lunch portion of curry + rice, choosing Penang curry and chicken as protein. Could've used more curry to rice ratio but since it was a lunch special I can't really complain. Was decent for lunch special though a bit pricier. Spouse ordered Khao soi with chicken. Both were super flavorful. Service was quick.

    Pad Kee Mao with Tofu
    Isabelle V.

    I did enjoy my tofu pad kee mao, though somehow I felt like they put a little *too* much thai green chili and I would've liked a better balance of the umami (fish sauce, soy, etc) rather than the dominance of the spiciness. Also didn't love the giant pieces of fried tofu that really did not soak in the sauce. Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo of the por pia sod, but this dish was really not for me -- A rice paper sheet wrapped around egg, chinese sausage, tofu, and bean sprouts coated in a sweet and sour tamarind sauce and topped with crab and some kind of mustard? A lot was going on flavor wise, and I think both the texture of the rice paper (which felt more similar to a crepe) in combination with what ultimately tasted a lot like a pickle, really didn't jive with me. I would likely stick to a papaya salad or something next time.

    Pad Thai
    Elle K.

    This was my first time here at the recommendation from my sister. We ordered the Pad Thai, pineapple fried rice, an eggplant dish and curry. The server was very knowledgeable on assisting with dishes that are gluten free. The food was delicious although some of the portions were of a smaller size than expected. There is plentiful metered parking and parking in the neighborhood. Overall, I would visit again.

    I think this restaurant was okay; the Thai Iced Tea was average, but on the expensive side. The Mango Sticky Rice was pretty good, but not $8 dollars good especially for the pay area. Lastly, the Panang Curry was pretty watery compared to other Thai Curry I had. Not a lot of foot traffic in this area, tho I did visit on a Sunday Night so maybe other nights it's a little more fun. The staff are super nice, but I wasn't impressed by the food. Happy to update my review if I end up going here again + had a better experience.

    Mango and sticky rice
    Bruce W.

    We came in to a empty restaurant, I think the majority of their business is take out. That being said it was nice to have a quiet meal. The decor is dated in the best way. It really took me back a cup le of decades. The food was good an ND we basically lit inhaled it. My wife got the Pad Krapow, and I had something similar with eggplants. We totally forgot to get pictures of those dishes, by the time I realized, we had already cleaned our plates. This is a great place for a quiet date night!

    This is what the whole container looked like.

    The red curry had virtually no veggies, loaded with bamboo and a little chicken. By far worst I have ever had. I am hoping that they just forgot the other veggies?

    Exceptional food, super nice owners who have been going strong for a few decades now and the only place that's open late in the area.

    Some haikus about Ocean Thai: Not far from his home My boyfriend picked up the food And now we must eat "These are really good" The woman told my boyfriend. Great pickled peppers It's freezing outside Popped curry in microwave The plate burned my hands Medium spicy Pad See Ew and Pad Ma Kuer With some curry too Fantastic flavors, Just spicy enough for us. Had some crazy farts

    Pad Thai
    Kelley T.

    I came in on a Sunday evening and there weren't many people in the restaurant so I was seated right away. I ordered a pad Thai and it came out relatively quickly. The noodles were a good texture, it's just that they stir fried it in too much sauce. The taste was a little strong that I can to stop eating halfway through and basically add more noodles to my left overs in order to make it more mild. The sauce tasted good though so I guess it isn't a bad thing, it just got a little tiring after eating it for a while. The portion size was good enough for one meal.

    There are plenty of metered parking spots right outside of this mom and pop Thai restaurant. We were greeted by a friendly waitress upon entering the restaurant. They have an extensive menu. We ordered the chicken pad thai, seafood in claypot, sticky rice, and iced coffee. The food came out in a timely manner. The seafood in the claypot was kind of spicy, which added a nice kick to this dish. The chicken pad thai and the sticky rice were ok. The iced coffee had the right amount of sweetness to it. All the entrees are a la carte. If you want rice, you need to order a side of rice. They also don't have lunch specials like some other restaurants.

    Nice Hand made bags
    Jolens V.

    This is a nice restaurant. It is a traditional place nice decor with a little corner for cute handmade bags. The server Koi is very pretty and patient. She suggested that I taste the Papaya Salad , Roasted Pork and Sticky Rice. The Thai Ice Tea is creamy and refreshing. The portions are generous . Let us make the pictures do the talking.

    The minute I saw interior pictures on Yelp, I knew I had to come here; every restaurant with good…read moredecor takes their food more seriously, and I was not disappointed. 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!

For 3 of us, we ordered and shared family-style: - Wagyu Basil Tray--good meat and rice with spices and a perfectly-cooked egg. Hey, I love eggs. - Chicken pad Thai-nice amount of chicken. 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! It gets loud and the lighting is dim and moody, could be good for groups or date night and we also saw a few families.

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. I wish they had all the thai spices and sauces though. Usually at Thai restaurants, there's four different condiments, but this one only had a homemade spice concoction.

I had a noon reservation but showed up at 11:30 right as they opened, and there was no issue getting seated - reservations don't seem necessary for lunch, even as the place filled in past noon. It's on the ground floor of the Parc 55 hotel in San Francisco, with the entrance on the corner of Ellis and Madison. I took BART in, and it's a short walk from Powell St. Station, which made things easy. If you're driving, be ready for the usual San Francisco parking challenge. One quirk worth knowing: the restroom is in the hotel lobby, and you'll need to grab a key card from the hostess to get in. The space itself is clean and simply decorated - nothing flashy, but comfortable. Service was friendly and attentive throughout. I started with the mushroom hor mok, then had the pad kee mao at medium spicy for my entree. Everything was delicious - plenty of umami depth and a solid, well-judged level of heat. On the drink side, the Tom Yum 2.0 cocktail was spectacular, with really excellent balance and a nice tart edge. I also tried the Koh Kood, which was good but didn't have quite the same wow factor as the Tom Yum 2.0. On value: it's expensive for Thai food, but everything in the city runs higher, so in that context I'd call it a good value. That said, if you've got a go-to local Thai spot you already love, the price point here might be a tougher sell by comparison. I was flying solo this visit, but this feels like a spot best enjoyed with a group, ordering family style so you can work through more of the menu. Overall, a great experience and one I'd recommend for a group outing where everyone's comfortable sharing dishes.

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!

The interior is well decorated with Thai culture and with the darker tones of the design, it makes the restaurant feel quite fancy. 4.5/5 - Crispy Pork (Moo Krop) Fried Rice - Very savory fried rice dish. Spiced well and very filling. We didn't expect the pork to be cut so large and mixed into the rice, but it was very tender and easy to still eat. We would've expected the pork to be sliced maybe in half or fourths to make the dish feel like a "pork fried rice" than a fried rice + pork mix, but it still worked well and if you love pork, this will definitely be your fix! 5/5 - Pad Thai - We thought the restaurant nailed this classic noodle dish. Filling portions and did not overcook their noodles. You can taste each component of the dish, which speaks to everything not being under or overcooked.

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!
