    Thai iced-tini
    Kathleen A.

    I have been wanting to check out this spot for awhile. I love Thai food and this is a great location at the Embarcadero center. We tried a few dishes and enjoyed: Beef wasabi rolls- I like that the beef was the roll. No breading or rice needed. Wasabi had a good little kick. Pad see you: spelling through me off a little but the noodles were delicious. A little more broccoli would have been nice but the flavors were great. Crying tiger steak- beautiful plating and I was impressed by the flavor as well as the portion of the salad. That salad wasn't messing around! The rice was also yummy. Thai-tini: this is not quite the name of the drink I had but it was that iced tea inspired. The drink had good flavors as well as presentation. I'm glad we were able to taste the yummy items here and take a couple pics as well. The ambiance is nice and the perimeter booths are a great seat.

    Dungeness Crab Omelet
    Calli Y.

    I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place yet. Seems a little odd. I've been here four times now. Actually every time I come to SF for work, this is their place to go. Each time the service has been great and the food also tastes good. Usually, we order everything family style so we can try all the items. The papaya salad is my favorite, refreshing and it's got a great kick to it as well. We also always get the Dungeness crab omelette. This one I feel like it's just OK for me. I do like the chunks of crab in it though. The calamari is huge. I'm shocked by the size, and it's always very tasty. We've gotten the Seabass, the smoked duck, usually a tom-tom soup, and a bunch of other items. I can't even remember. Great flavors. We also get the desserts as well. And our favorite is the banana and ice cream as well as the mango sticky rice. You really can't go wrong. I feel like they offer a great variety of Thai food. SYOY!

    Pad Thai

    So yummy and very kind and prompt service!! Pad Thai and Thai tea were incredible! Highly recommend this spot.

    HH snacks
    Andres N.

    Came here for HH and it was just fine. The drinks are good but food is pretty mediocre. Calamari was very tough and rubbery, we couldn't finish it. The sauce it was served with was like a honey it was so sticky and didn't compliment the dish. Fries on HH were the best part. The Gyoza was ok but could have used more seasoning. Painkiller and mules were prepared very well. Nice location overlooking ferry building and embarcadero plaza. We were immediately sat outside for HH which was nice. I can't say I'd make it a point to return for the food. Grab some Happy Hour drinks, sit outside on a nice evening and you'll have a nice time.

    Wait I lowkey don't want to write this review because they're going to get soooo busy. I was looking for light appetizers and saw that osha was nearby. Been to the other location years ago and it's always a hit. Was pleasantly surprised when we went on a weekend and it was happy all day Saturday and Sunday. Monday - Friday 5-7 pm happy hour as well. It's so close to the ferry building and very walkable. Ordered the angel wings ($9) , fried calamari ($9) and herbal pork belly. $(12) there's $1.50 oysters too but had so much over the past month so opted out. I did bookmark this place as an oyster options whenever I'm back in the area though. I loved the sauce on the wings and the fried calamari was good. The pork belly was a dry rub type and a bit spicy for me which I didn't prefer but was enjoyable. I just can't handle spicy and I think I just enjoy pork belly in soy or something. So just an opinion, it was good but not my preference. Bathrooms were clean and there's a lot of space for parties/events or big groups. Also the receipt said "elevated Thai brunch served all day" waaah? Maybe I'll try that next time when we're hungrier.

    Beautiful restaurant with bright colors and a lovely floral decor. It's really spacious and has plenty of seating which was perfect for the lunch rush since it filled up pretty quickly. The menu is extensive and the service was great. Frank was attentive and very helpful. The steak wasabi rolls were a great appetizer and the country chicken had just the right amount of crunch and sweetness. The yellow curry and pineapple fried rice were also good. Now that I know this place is a hit, I'm looking forward to trying other things on the menu.

    As soon as we entered the restaurant it was a. Wow already the waitress is very helpful and friendly. Good space the food is delicious and the food presentation is amazing not salty not greasy we finished everything my favorite is fried chicken. The restaurant is spacious and you can feel that you are in Thailand.

    Smoked Duck
    Monique M.

    Came here for the first time and i absolutely loved this place. Location is nice with lots of places to visit nearby. Obviously in a busy area of San Francisco so parking, transportation and traffic are a hassle but the views and location are still great. The restaurant itself is clean with a nice ambiance. Cute decor. We were a large party of over 15 people and they were able to accommodate us without a problem. Their food was amazing. Tasty, such great flavors and provided many dishes that were both common to Thai food, and also unique to this restaurant. Everything we ate had great flavor! Understandably the prices matched the quality and location of the restaurant. Staff was really great. Worked hard, stayed in top of our large table. Friendly to say the least. I would recommend this place for almost any occasion, for large groupsnor a simple lunch date. I am looking forward to coming back for more.

    Happy hour drinks
    Nina Z.

    Amazing happy hour deal! They have happy hour on select drinks and food items Monday thru Friday from 5-7PM and all day Saturday and Sunday. We ended up getting drinks, splitting a happy hour platter, and ordering some drunken noodles from the entree: plenty of food for the three of us! The happy hour platter included oysters, calamari, chicken wings, and fries. Beautiful lush ambiance and we came during the holiday season, so it was all decorated for the holidays. Service was friendly. Conveniently located in Embarcadero. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area. They also serve brunch as well!

    Osha's Tom Yum Noodles Soup
    Kaman L.

    I haven't been here since the pandemic began. I was glad that I visited Osha Thai recently. The quality of the food and the service were still good. The food that my party ordered were as follows: 1) Starter: Salmon roll (3.5/5) the portion of salmon is decent, the taste is a little bland but feels healthy when I ate it. :) 2) Starter: Angel wings (4.5/5) I love the robust taste plus the crunchiness of the wings. The sauce is perfectly done. I enjoy this dish a lot. 3) Entree: Tom Yum Soup noodle (4.5/5) was tasty with decent portion of shrimp, fish balls, minced pork and noodles. I haven't had Tom Yum soup for a while. Glad that I ordered this dish. 4) Entree: Duck fried noodle (4/5) was good but not as good compared with the Tom Yum soup noodle. I enjoyed the noodle with the sauce. The duck meat portion is good too. Service is good here. The interior decor was pretty. Our seating area was comfortable and away from the crowd that allows my party had a good talk. Only down side was the food here are pricey. But given the food quality and location, I think it worth paying the price. I will come back for sure.

    Herbal Pork Belly
    Stephanie L.

    Good spot for drinks or snacks during happy hour, available Monday-Friday 5-7pm. Pork belly was nice and tender, and packed with a kick, for those who do like spice. I would skip on the tom yum soup, but go for the drunken noodles or pad see ew. It does get busy for dinner time, so recommend making reservations on Yelp for larger groups!

    Linda Y.

    Beautiful space nearby the Ferry Building area (closer to the square where the statue is). The inside is pretty spacious and it tends to be busy. The food, however, is pretty mid. I came here on a Friday night and got both a red curry and green curry, and it took a looong time to get served (like over 30 minutes). The curries were quite lukewarm which wasn't that great and I wish the meat were more tender too. Think it's overall expensive too for the portion size (there actually wasn't much stuff in the curry despite the bowl looking big). I liked the platha/roti they served the green curry with though! Probably wouldn't come back and will stick with my favorites in the heart of the city, check out Ben Thai or Sweet Lime, but glad I tried it for myself.

    Chicken Satay
    Danielle Y.

    Came here for lunch on a weekday! It was super busy but service was fast and our server was knowledgeable. We did make a reservation and got seated right away. We ordered crispy vegetable spring rolls and chicken satay for the table. For myself I got the drunken noodles and a Thai iced tea. We got our food fairly quickly. The food was served hot and everything was delicious! My fave was the drunken noodles. I've been here once before and the quality was just as good. I would definitely recommend making a reservation as it does get busy especially with employees back in office.

I got the Omelette Fried Rice (4.5/5), that came with delicious sriracha bacon, and an okay salad on the side. For my drink, I got the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk (5/5), which was fantastic. It's on the sweeter side, which worked for me. It was fairly busy and a bit loud inside. The dining room is long and narrow but has a decent amount of seating. Service was good, and friendly.

I asked a passing waitress how long was the wait--(30 minutes she said confidently). I had ZERO faith in that estimate. I was wrong. About EVERYTHING. The Host was a genius. Our waitress was a royal. Her serving team was the Kentucky Derby of thoroughbreds racing to place the silverware, condiments, used dishes, and refilled coffee going. The food tasted Michelin level. I can SAY that because we had eaten dinner at an actual Michelin rated restaurant the night before. (No Yelp rating needed because they ABSOLUTELY deserved it= NARI) I had a FRIED French Toast BECAUSE it cannot sit waiting to be served. My daughter had Eggs Benedict and the granddaughter had fresh fruit, fresh squeezed OJ in an ADULT glass (because she is a Big Girl now). While we paid our tab we heard a woman scream "I'm giving this restaurant a ONE STAARR REVIEW on YELP because of this WAIT!!!" OMG I thought someone had been ROBBED--but..on THIS Mother's DAY..it was only a spoiled young lady with poor manners. For me...now at a point in life that WAITING anywhere for anything is a PERCENTAGE of TIME I have LEFT to live...this breakfast was easily worth the time that it cost in human terms. Go any time you got a Mom, Grandma, Dad, offspring, first date or best friend you want to share a moment in time with early in the day over food and drink. No waiting worth mentioning. Thanks

We waited about 30-40 minutes on a Sunday, which was understandable given how busy and well-known the restaurant is. One thing that confused us was the ordering process. I initially wanted to order a particular dish (unfortunately I don't remember the name and for some reasons I don't have a picture of it), but one server told me they couldn't make it because they were missing some ingredients. Later, another server took the same order without any issues, and the dish arrived exactly as written in the menu. Since it was clearly available, I never understood why I was told otherwise in the first place. As for the food, it was good, but it didn't quite live up to our expectations. Having experienced Creole food in New Orleans, we felt the flavors there were more balanced and memorable. Here, our main dishes were a bit saltier than we would have liked, and overall the food didn't stand out enough to make us want to return. The atmosphere was pleasant, and I can understand why the restaurant is so popular. However, after visiting, I felt that some of the hype may be bigger than the actual experience. I'm glad we tried it, but if you're already familiar with Creole food from New Orleans, you may find it less impressive than expected.

I actually don't mind that- almost half the people were not around and it made the wait go faster. But I was a bit annoyed they sat us at a counter without asking- it was fine but we were expecting a table and would have probably rather wait a little longer for one. They only asked about inside vs outside and we said either was fine but no indication that we needed to mention we wanted a table. Most places seem to give you the heads up and make sure it was fine. Oh well. Everything sounded great and "The Plow" included 2 lemon ricotta pancakes, 2 eggs, pork sausage (you can also get chicken apple sausage links or bacon), and potatoes. The one nice thing of the counter is you get to watch them make everything and it is so organized and efficient. Food was solid. The wait went by pretty quick and wasn't a factor for me. I thought the pancakes were just okay- with all the hype I guess I expected them to be amazing but I honestly make better lemon ricotta pancakes (LOL). I think they needed a lot more lemon zest, maybe a touch of sugar, and the salted butter sounds great but added literally nothing. Maybe it was an off day and they weren't bad my any means but definitely nothing special. Similar thoughts on the pork sausage which was maybe slightly overcooked and the eggs which were a little under seasoned and I prefer mine a bit runnier. The potatoes were excellent, I liked those a lot and their hot sauce is very good too. $27 for the plate which seems a bit high but it's brunch in SF and it's nice they have the option to get the savory stuff but also a couple pancakes. And considering a single pancake is $7.50 it seems like a much better option to get the plate (overall all their sides are almost laughably priced ordered a la carte). I will say they use nice ingredients and a lot of the same producers I try to support in my own shopping/cooking as well as the same type of practice like pasture raised eggs. That in itself makes me feel good supporting them. I'd consider coming back but would request to sit outside and enjoy the vibes, definitely get something with potatoes, and maybe some hot sauce to go. Three and a half stars, I rounded up for now and will re-evaluate after another visit.
