Broth was so flavorful, some of the best pho I've had! The portions are huge, I got a small and didn't finish it. If I get it again, I need to see if see if some one split it with me since pho isn't great left overs..... I've had the pad sea eww and curry but I'm obsessed with their stirfry! read more

My friends invited me here for lunch, and I'll be honest, I was a little skeptical. It's a hole in the wall and the first impression was not the best, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance! The food is so good and deserves its praises! We ordered veggie egg rolls and spring rolls, which were fresh, crisp, and served with sauces that complemented them well. I had the drunken noodles with beef, but I also tried my friend's fried rice and tofu pad se ewe. All delicious and full of flavor. Our server must be a stand-up comedian or something because he was cracking jokes and messing with us the whole time. I didn't catch his name, but the service was 10/10. Only downside was the parking situation, it's a tiny parking lot that is shared with multiple other businesses read more

Great place some good old Thai food. They have a great variety on the menu and if you want ask them for the secret Lao menu. They have all the delicious gems ! Service is always great when I come to eat. Plenty of seats and space for you to enjoy some good yummy south East Asian cooking. read more

If you come here, be sure to explore the whole menu. Every item has it's own unique taste and will fulfill any taste buds on your tongue palette. The owner, Tony is a delight and his daughter, Kim is beyond wonderful. Her service is superb and overall just warm and welcoming; the ambiance is fun and active too. Rue is also a wonderful waitress, she asks all the right questions if you don't know what you are feeling for what you want to eat. And there is a different playlist for each worker and it all depends on the mood. I personally love it here because it holds a very special place in my heart due to me and my boyfriend coming here on our second date and now almost six months later, we're still coming here and they know us by name as if we are regulars. read more

I can't stop raving about this place. There's soups their noodles the rice amazing. There's not a dish that I have an order that I have ordered. That is delicious finger licking good. The staff and the owner are incredibly nice. The ambience just gives me home restaurant vibes now they're open till 12. Hell yeah I'm gonna go. read more

Ocha Thai Restaurant - Tum yum soup with shrimp 10/10 - Thai Near Me - Bakersfield, California

(sawadee ka)... this place is bomb. the tofu pad thai is off the hook -- deeply flavorful and perfectly balanced. the drunken noodles (mild) still have real heat, so fyi mild is spicy here. thai iced tea was smooth and cooling... perfect pairing. kim was exceptionally gracious and attentive... very kind spirit and effortless hospitality. the whole vibe brought me back to 90s r&b slow jam energy. (khop khun ka)... i'll be back. read more

I'm concerned this is one of the top rated Asian cuisine restaurants in Bakersfield.... I only came here because it had good reviews. If you guys think this is great, we need to have a heart to heart. Let's start with the potstickers. I asked the waiter if I should get steamed or fried; he recommended fried. Well, let's just say I've had better potstickers from the grocery store's frozen section than this place... They were incredibly small and flavorless. If this is what is recommended, the steamed version must be inedible. Thankfully the Chicken Pad Thai actually had some flavor, but nothing to recommend to anymore. There is certainly better out there... This alone is definitely not a reason to go back. To make matters worse, it was pretty expensive... $31 for a plate and appetizer? No, just no. My favorite place at home for a huge plate and the same appetizer is $22, and my city is more expensive to live in. Heck, even amazing hole-in-the-wall Asian restaurants in Los Angeles (you know, one of the most expensive places to live) is cheaper than this place. And if this matters to anyone, the restaurant and restrooms are pretty beat up and dingy. It's not a comfortable or welcoming environment. If you're passing through like I was, don't be fooled by the good reviews. Keep driving. read more

Everything I had here was delicious. Pad Thai, spicy fried rice and tom kha were all bursting with deep, intense flavor. This restaurant does an amazing job at balancing the sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors Thai food is known for. I felt the portions and price point were good. The ambiance could use some polishing, and it's worth noting that on a 100 degree day, there was no air conditioning inside, but the temperature was tolerable. Service was great as well! read more

The pho here never misses! Everytime we go, we try something new and the things that have stuck out is the papaya salad and pad Thai. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. THAI TEA 10/10 read more

This place was great. Plenty of seating inside. The service was on point. A group of us went and got different things. I am a junky for phó. I realize that not all Thai places do phó, but this was delicious. I got a brisket and beef ball phó. Another individual got a massaman curry, the other guy got pad Thai. They all enjoyed their meals. We all left full and happy. I talked to the waiter and asked if they had some more authentic offerings. They do. Next time I go back we will be having some of that. You won't be disappointed with this location. read more

This place is so underrated, it definitely deserves 5/5 stars! I'm usually not a big fan of pho, but their Pho is sooo gooodd. The portions are generous, and I also love their chicken satay and curry. Good food and service. Highly recommend! read more

I was a little skeptical on ordering here; if i could give them 10 stars i would. The food is delicious, Thai tea is extraordinary. & lets not forget about the sticky rice with mango. We have been here twice in one week and plan on coming back. The young man that works here is great. You just earned a loyal customer. read more

Hubby and I went on a whim last night and decided to eat here. Since Ocha Thai took the place of our beloved Far East Restaurant, we have not been in these parts in a very, very long time. Upon entry, the hot table that used to be in the old establishment still sits here. Not entirely sure if it's owned by the same management but definitely worth patronizing, Hubby wanted Thai boat noodle and sure enough, they served it here. I was opting for a rice dish but the server Kim, sold me on a fresh bowl of combination pho that she said would come from a freshly made batch in the kitchen. It was perfect because I wanted to eat something "soupy" even though it was clearly hot as balls outside at 107 degrees. Each noodle soup came with balanced broths in its own right. Thai boat was thick, dark, and rich. Pho was clear, light and aromatic. Both dishes shared the same plate of usual garnishes: bean sprouts, Thai basil, limes and sliced jalapeños. The noodles in each dish were the perfect serving and there was ample meat in each bowl. We ordered a beef pad see ew to go for my daughter. The hubby asked for a Vietnamese iced coffee but Kim was polite in stating they didn't have one but offered Thai version, being it is a Thai restaurant. She said it's going to be great and I'll give you a small taste test. She came back quickly with a regular order and it was refreshing. It's slightly less stronger and less sweeter than the traditional Vietnamese version. As the dinner went on, several customers came by and picked up their phone orders. There were about five tables of restaurant diners all who seemed to be enjoying their food. Overall, the dinner was pleasant. The restaurant was clean and the ambiance was chill. The food was authentic and delicious. Best of all, the server Kim handled customer orders in an expeditious manner. We will definitely be back. read more

The food is great, the service is great and the mango sticky rice is delicious! It's my go to.

Hidden Gem in Bakersfield and it's so affordable and authentic. Really hope it stay around for a long time. And they're open till midnight ! Wow wow wow. read more

Ocha Thai has exceptionally creamy curries, tasty pan fried noodles, and are a great value to boot. Highly recommend the yellow curry, pad see ew, gyoza appetizers (both steamed and fried), and fried rice (a little lean on the protein but still tasty). After mourning the loss of my previous favorite Thai place, Siam Iyara (RIP), I'm thrilled to have finally found an equivalent replacement. read more

The best seafood soup I have ever tried ! I also asked them to make it spicy and they did ! Super delicious ! Mix it with their white rice and you have the best combo ever ! I've been going 2 days in a row now . Also their Thai tea is AMAZING ! Love this place for sure going back ! read more

No bueno I got old rice with roaches and soup with little secret ingredients like hair . The service was slow my food got cold on the way home. I guess the taste was there but non worth 40$ for a seafood soup and chowmein with hairs in it. No thanks will not come back here. read more

Ocha Thai Restaurant - Shrimp Pad Thai, Tempura Shrimp and Fried Pot Stickers. - Thai Near Me - Bakersfield, California

My Grandpa, aunt and brother have all lived in Bakersfield for a total of nearly 30 years of my life, and of all the amazing memories I have of those years, there is a common theme: food. King's Table all-you-can-eat buffet (soft serve ice cream until we complained about not feeling well and Grandpa taking the all-you-can-eat to the next level and sneaking out pockets full of food for his dogs), Chuy's, Basque food, Dewar's...there are so many types of incredible food around here, and now I get to add Thai to the list! On the way through heading up to Shaver Lake, I was in hangry mode just wanting someone else to decide where we'd pull over to eat QUICKLY, when my navigator said those magic words, "Hey! This place has 4.5 stars and over 200 reviews!" She knows me too well. We walked in and the place was rockin'. Literally. Turns out it was our server, Kim's, birthday celebration. She even asked if we had any song requests! (My kids impressed her with their taste in music.) Yeah. I know. This doesn't involve the food, but that's the thing...we became part of a family-run restaurant's family birthday party! And we left feeling like part of the family! Ok. The food. We love all food in our family but good Thai is something we rarely find. Our first test is always whether a place serves papaya salad. They passed that test. They do. And it was delicious. Our eggplant was spicy and cooked perfectly. The Pad See Ew was voted BWEH (Best We've Ever Had), all the shrimp we added to the dishes was cooked perfectly, and the probably shouldn't have ordered but did anyway bowls of pho and ramen were great as well. Oh. And my icy cold Singha. Not only was the food amazing, we got out of there for $77. (And the birthday girl hooked us up with some boba Thai tea too!) Great value, great food, great people, and when we stop next time, the manager, Sammy, said we have to try their seafood soup. Who am I to not follow directions like that? Don't pass this place up. read more
