I like the atmosphere and the service of the staff. Great food experience except for the Fried Calamari it was not good and i think its a frozen calamari. But i love the papaya salad it was perfect and the hot vegetable tofu with shiitake mushroom was delicious. Its my 2nd time here and will comeback next time

Been at Osha thai several times, it’s located in an immaculate location with picturesque views of the Ferry Building and the bay beyond. The restaurant is in the ground level of Embarcadero adjacent to Hyatt. Portion size are huge and my khao soi was as expected, the chicken was slightly chewy to my liking. An average dinning experience overall, decent quality food.

Good environment, food was too sweet for me, and the Omelette had too much rice in it. Doesn’t feel super authentic but makes sense since East Asian customers are not the main ones who come here. Good for European and American taste.

Excellent flavor and presentation. Was told Drunken noodles were spicy and they were not at all, had to ask for chili oil, the the overall flavor was incredible though. Server seemed rushed and overwhelmed.

All dishes are delicious, we tried the Pad Se Ew and the Volcano beef, which were excellent! A bit pricey, but definitely worth it! Dining room is large, well decorated and with a cool view! Service was very fast

The absolute best Thai Restaurant in the Bay Area in my personal opinion! I loved their indoor decor, with a lot of beautiful pink flowers, and a very vibrant set of decorations! Their tables were comfy and cozy, and after a long morning of exploring San Francisco. Their staff was also really nice, and seated us at a very fast pace! They kept refilling our waters, and asking if we wanted anything else! For their food options I feel like they had a great variety ranging from popular items such as Pad Thai to Green Curry, all tasted super delicious. I especially enjoyed their beef fried rice, and their Beef Thai Curry! A great place, with a reasonable price! However, if you are looking for their hot sauce, it is a bit on the mild side. As their hot sauce tasted a lot sweeter compared to spicy, but I feel like it depends completely on the person. Hope this helped!

What a find! This restaurant is conveniently located next to the Hyatt hotel and the Ferry building. It’s often very busy and booked so making a reservation might be necessary. The atmosphere is lively and vibrant because of the amount of people, and the service is great. Very friendly. The menu is expansive and has all the favorites for a Thai restaurant. Going here with friends or coworkers is a must!
