I was really craving mango sticky rice but was sad when I opened the container and saw that my $11 mango sticky rice was tiny and very sad looking (and tasting).....there was almost no sauce on the sticky rice, the rice was over cooked and extremely mushy and almost....stale tasting? Unfortunately the pad see ew was not a showstopper either. The tofu was extremely tough and hard to chew and it tasted like the noodles barely touched the pan. I really wanted to like Ocha Thai but unfortunately I was disappointed :( read more

Tried out Ocha Thai because of a BOGO deal through DoorDash. The food was ready quickly and the pickup process was easy. The food itself, however, seemed like something was really off. The Pad See Ew tasted sour in a way that spoiled eggs and rotten vegetables taste. I really, really hate wasting food, but both entrees had to go in the bin. I'm wondering if the heat wave caused cold storage issues. I'm hoping that this is a one-time issue because the other reviews seem positive! read more

I stopped by here a couple of Saturday nights ago with my with and twins for dinner. This wasn't the first time we had ordered from Ocha Thai Noodle as we had done so about a year and a half prior. Both times I used smile dining from their website to place orders. On this most recent visit, I placed an order for about an hour in advance. When I got there the restaurant worker was just sitting down to food from the restaurant which I always find to be a good sign. The inside of the restaurant is small with tile floors and seating for maybe 20 people. My food was ready whenever I got there and I was quickly on my way. For dinner on this evening I decided to have the special fried rice which I had seen a photo of on Yelp while my wife went with the peanut noodles with shrimp. The menu described my dish as stir fried rice with brocolli topped with crispy fried chicken and scallion. The concept of it was good and I appreciated the fried chicken with the broccoli and the fried rice had a bit of sweetness to it as well. What I didn't appreciate was the overall dryness of the dish combined with the fact that the chicken was dry. If I was eating in the restaurant or at my house, I certainly would have added something to it but since I was picnicking at the park with my family, I had nothing. That led me to only finishing about half of it before I gave up on it. My wife found better success with her meal though and enjoyed it. The bottom line for me is that I might stop by here again in the future. While my first trip here was successful, my last one, not so much. So definitely be careful in what you are ordering. read more

One of my go to late night delivery spots. It's open very late so it's very convenient. I feel that most of the time the taste has been consistent! Mango sticky rice of course always yummy! read more

Wish the portions were a big bigger for the price , but so good! Living in Oakland this is a great place to get a Thai food fix, the noodle dishes are great and the appetizers are always pretty yummy! Service is alright, they seem to only ever have 2-3 people working, but still a great spot to pick up! read more

New favorite place for Thai? I think so! We recently tried Ocha for dinner a couple of nights ago, and I was pleasantly surprised! Typically I'm a Noodlehead or Thai & Noodle Outlet girly, but I just became a fan of Ocha. We both had the Pad See Ew, his with chicken and mine with tofu. I'll probably go up one spice level (to 3) next time, but the flavor and portion were perfect! read more

Ocha thai is my go to spot for late night meals. The staff are super helpful and friendly for take out orders. I always get the peanut noodles with pork. It has such a rich and nutty taste and you can also adjust the spice level. The other dish was great too and they made the rice in the shape of a heart. It is pretty small but there are a few tables inside that you can sit at. You can also order from the counter for take out. read more

Ocha Thai Noodle - Noodles Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I ordered at 1am after a long travel day with tons of delays. I was nervous because I was ordering from a new place at an odd hour... and it turned out great!! I will definitely reorder. We had the chicken pineapple fried rice (4.5/5) it definitely rivaled our favorite local Thai spot. Got spice level 1 because I was afraid that reviews said their food was spicy. I could have handled a level 2 but I rather be safe than sorry. Also had the beef noodle soup (3.75/5). This was also very good. The broth was a little sweet and savory, paired well with sriracha. I'd order this a level 1 or 2 spicy next time. I wish this had more veggies. read more

Talk about getting lucky. Found this place and had a great time. They never slowed down and the togo orders were leaving like crazy. I landed late and and this place is open to like 3:00 am. Wow! I lived in Thailand for four years and this was the best that I have had outside of there. I definitely don't think you can go wrong. read more

I'm in a memory lane mood missing all of my favorite food spots from my college days so thought I'd give a loving review to my much missed Ocha Thai Noodle. I can't even remember how many times I ate here as a student but it was always my go to when I had a Thai food craving (it was also near our apartment which was how I discovered it in the first place). As a SoCal native, I was used to having plentiful amazing Thai food options around me so I was pleased that Ocha didn't disappoint. Their veggie pad see ew, side of crab rangoons, and a Thai tea was my favorite trifecta to order. I mostly ordered it for delivery or to go but the times I did dine in were always lovely. The staff is so friendly and accommodating with any dietary restrictions and the restaurant itself feels just like home. I'll definitely be back in the next time I'm in town :) read more

Yes please! Coming from Denver where the Thai food was abysmal, this place delivered. The spring rolls and the pad Thai were both delicious and they actually spiced appropriately (unlike Denver). Would definitely order from here again! read more

Very cool place! I especially love the hours and how late they are open. So if you ever feel the need to grab noodles at midnight, this is your place. And, the quality as well as prices are both quite good. I tried the pad see ew with the tofu as well as the Thai custard. Both were very tasty. The portion for the pad see ew was great. And, the flavors were as well. For $12.50, it's pretty tough to beat. They used plenty of fresh vegetables like broccoli and carrots. I enjoyed that they thoroughly cooked these vegetables since I like them slightly softer. The sauce is tasty and flavorful. The tofu is well soaked in the sauce and high quality. Very good overall. The Thai custard was also great. I ordered on Uber Eats, and there was no option for Thai custard, but I asked them to replace the mango sticky rice with the custard and they did so, so props to them for reading the note! The custard is delicious and a great texture. So is the rice. I would have liked a bit more coconut milk though. All in all, this is a great option for anyone seeking out Thai food in this area. It's a great late night meal as well. The pad see ew is great and so is the Thai custard. It's high quality Thai food. read more

Spicy Pad Thai was hot, not too spicy. Crab Rangoons were slightly cold but that isn't a big deal. Service was superb and professional.

Not bad but I don't think they make the food as it comes out. I ordered a beef dish today. I was told to wait 5 minutes and it came out in 5 minutes. I doubt they cooked it in 5 minutes. The flavor was on point, but the beef tasted pretty cooked not fresh at all. I would order again but ask for tofu. Rule of thumb for me now on. If I don't know a Thai place, order tofu as a protein. read more

Quick, hot and tasty Thai food in South Oakland! My sister first found this restaurant on a food delivery service and her go-to order is the peanut noodles! The menu has plenty of classic Thai dishes. More variety than other local Thai eateries! I was pleasantly surprised to see the Rad Na noodle dish and had to try it! The noodles were packaged separately from the gravy on a to-go order, which was thoughtful. The gravy was packed full of veggies and had a savory flavor to it. Definitely not the most quality ingredients, but the pricing is affordable! Overall, not my favorite Thai eatery in Pittsburgh, but my meal satisfied my hunger haha. tldr; food 3.5/5 service 4/5 interior 4/5 read more

I can't believe I've been at Pitt for 4 years and I just found out about this place!! I had it twice in one week after I tried it! soooo good. First time I went I got the pad see ew with spice level 1. It wasn't spicy at all but it was soooo good. Second time I went I got the rad na with spice level 2. It wasn't what I was expecting but was really good but spicy. My sister got the pad Thai with spice level 2 and she loved it. She said it was the best pad Thai she's had in Pittsburgh. We also got the summer rolls. I usually don't like summer rolls but these ones were good. My friend got the pineapple fried rice and he also said it was probably some of the best he's had in Pittsburgh. Highly highly recommend this place. So worth it. read more

It's fine. I got the pad see yew with chicken. Noodles had good flavor, veggies were good, chicken was super overcooked.

If you're from Pittsburgh, I'm sure you know of Noodlehead as one of the best Thai restaurants. I was excited to see a Thai restaurant open on Pitts campus (south Oakland)! I was ready to compare it with one of my fave Thai places. I got the roasted Pork noodle soup and my bf got the Pad Kee Mao which he always gets at noodlehead. He LOVED his dish and got a 4/5 spice. It really tasted good IMO as well and similar size to noodlehead! My soup was REALLY spicy when I asked for 2/5. The broth and noodles were good but the pork was cold. The service was a bit slow since they seemed a bit understaffed but they were all friendly! We are definitely coming back because they have a much bigger menu than Noodlehead and the prices are similar! Will be back for an update soon! read more

Doesn't look like much as you come in, but truly the food was phenomenal. The food came quite quickly and came piping hot. The veggies were slightly on the more raw side and could have been left to cook for a little bit more! The fried rice was truly delectable, well seasoned and I highly recommend. As for the panang curry, I find myself somewhat an expert when it comes to this dish. I've had this dish at every Thai restaurant I've ever been (one every week for the past 10-12 years of my life) and in Thailand itself. This panang curry was truly really great, portion size was good and the veggies were really good complements to the tofu. The tofu felt a little over cooked (it was chewier than normal). Can easily feed two-three people. **Warning, they top this dish with peanuts Pad Kee Mao is a great substitute for aversive rice eaters. Well cooked and well seasoned noodles! Dinging a point only because the interior was dirty, music was really loud and hard to talk over, and service was a little less than hospitable! Hospitality: 4/5 Food Quality: 5/5 Food Quantity: 5/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Overall, was very happy to dine here and I'll be back! read more

I ordered their crispy duck pad Thai and butterfly shrimp this time and was slightly disappointed. The duck wasn't crispy and it didn't have a lot of flavor to it. The pad Thai was ok. Probably won't get it again. The butterfly shrimps were good. I like that it was so meaty. I ordered through Uber this time, and it was still hot when it got here. Overall, I wasn't impressed with the food. I will try something else next time since I really liked them the first time. read more

Yum! Their Thai Beef Noodle Soup is delicious. I got spice level 3, and it was pretty spicy (as it should be), so just know they ain't playing. The broth was very flavorful and had 2 good sized meatballs plus a good amount of sliced beef. I gave the meatballs to my hubs and he said they were good. In the noodle container (we Door Dashed), they included raw sprouts and a little bit of scallion and fried shallots. I hate cilantro and there wasn't any so that was a big win since Door Dash wouldn't let me make any notes! My husband liked his Thai Tea and Pad Thai. Crab Rangoon was also good, the filling is very creamy. read more

Absolutely love this place! Greatest drunk food spot in Oakland. Only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that it can sure take a while sometimes, and the staff are not always overly friendly. However, this place has NEVER let me down. Totally recommend after a night out with your friends. Ask for the "cry hot", they don't advertise it, but if you like some kick this is the way to go!! read more

We ordered delivery through Yelp/Grubhub, and the delivery came much earlier than expected. We ordered the chicken bang bang, crispy duck pad Thai, special fried rice. The meal also came with two extra fried spring rolls that were free. The chicken bang bang was the best with the actually outstanding mayonnaise sauce. For the crispy duck pad Thai, the pad Thai itself was pretty good, however the crispy duck was very dry, some parts inedible due to this. The special fried rice was fine, with crispy chicken in the fried rice that could have been more crispy but it tasted fine. We appreciated the free spring rolls and that the food was still hot when it arrived. read more

I ordered pad Thai and I give 3 star because: Negative points on way over-priced item with the half-priced overall food performance. Chicken is dry and I can tell it's added at the last minute. Too much noodle and too little on other ingredients. Taste normal or impressive. Positive points: decent portion and fresh ingredients (even though not much) Worth trying once but I won't come back. read more

A friend and I decided to go here for dinner after having hookah next door. When we arrived, we could hear (what I imagine is the owner) in the back cooking away. We tried to get her attention but she didn't hear us. We grabbed menus and decided what we wanted to eat, and then after about 5-10 minutes, we resorted to calling the restaurant to tell her we were inside and ready to order! Lol but once she realized, she promptly came out with water and ready to take our order. I got the mixed vegetables with tofu entree, and my friend got lo mein with a mixture of beef and shrimp. The tofu was amazing - crispy outside and soft inside. I also got a generous portion of rice which was cooked perfectly. She asked both of us what our desired heat levels were from 1-5 : I said 3 and he said 4. I kind of regretted going so high as I'm not a big spice fan, but aside from a runny nose, the heat level was yummy and not overpowering. The heat was perfect for the dish and went well with the flavors; not just a pepper bomb smacking you in the face. It was cold inside the restaurant, and it doesn't have the most comfortable seating, but it otherwise was nice, with simple decor and televisions playing Christmas specials. The price was more than a takeout Chinese spot (a little over $25 for two entrees), but it was so delicious, the flavor was elevated, and it was cooked quick and fresh - we could hear our meals being prepared just behind the wall in the restaurant! I think the food is well worth the price. During our time there, we were the only dine-in customers; though there were quite a few Grubhub pickups so it is a popular place, just maybe not for dine-in on a weekday. I would definitely come back, especially with the hookah bar next door! I would definitely be back. read more

Ocha Thai is always my go-to spot for takeout. I order the Pad See Ew or the Pad Thai and I've never been unhappy with either! Sometimes I'll get the steamed pork dumplings but I end up being way too full because their portions are large! Overall, you get a really tastey Thai dish for a fair price. I usually order it through UberEats so I've never actually been to the physical restaurant and can't speak much about the ambience, but if you're looking for good reliable takeout Thai food, this is your nee place!!! read more

Was it the best Thai I've ever had? No, but they were still open after midnight on a Saturday and that did it for me. You Pittsburghians better cherish this place because I've never been anywhere where there was Thai food open this late. I ordered from Uber eats so the price was a bit steeper. We got pad Thai tofu, kee mao tofu, red curry tofu, papaya salad, and crispy chicken special. Spice level was a 2 but it was the perfect spice for us. Pad thai - 3/5 I've had better and was a bit on the sweeter side Kee mao - 4/5 I really liked all the vegetables, wished it had more of a smokier taste like I'm used to but was still good Red curry - 5/5 one of the best red curry I've ever had, wished it had Thai eggplant though Papaya salad -2/5 I didn't like it, was too sweet for me Crispy chicken - 2/5 was what I was expecting and wasn't worth it for me. Overall this place was good for a drunk night in. If it wasn't opened this late it would've been a 3.5/5, but I would have eaten here again regardless. read more
