Overpriced , not so good food. Ok if there is nothing else around. Gets two stars for location.

This is probably the weakest Osha Thai out of the chain. The location is great, spacious and across the street from the Ferry Building but the food, blah. Too bad you can't expect consistency across all the restaurants. Our spring rolls lacked flavor, the salmon curry wasn't warmed through completely and the street-style fried oysters were bland & boring.

After exploring the busy pier restaurants and being told that we have to wait half an hour to be seated my crew and I decided to give Osha a try last weekend. It's a really busy restaurant with a not so busy lounge right next to it. The sangria I ordered was amazingly delicious and it had pieces of fresh fruit in it. The pad thai amount was more than enough and took some home. The decor is outstanding and I like the little cushions they have on the seats. love this place!

Food was pretty good, but they didn't give much food for the price. They were extremely courteous and the ambiance is nice. Great location!!!

Very bad and unorganized service. First one waitress came to help us and then half way to our order she left, 10 minutes later we we had to reorder to another waitress. I ordered my food without the duck, but they brought my food with the duck. Later when they brought my food back, they forgot to bring me fork and knife. But the food was tasty Overall I will not come back here again, because of their bad behavior. And also it took them half an hour to bring us our check.

We had Osha Thai for lunch at work recently. My grilled beef salad had a great, spicy, citrusy sauce, but the ingredients themselves weren't very appetizing. The slices of beef were very tough, most of the lettuce was hard little yellow ends (and the stem) of ice berg lettuce and a bunch of underripe cherry tomatoes that were just plain sour. Dishes we did enjoy were the great coconut rice and the chicken satay with some excellent peanut sauce. The spring rolls were very greasy and the dipping sauce tasted like sugar dissolved in water. I doubt we'll be using them again.

We met some friends here for dinner and this was my second time here and I enjoy the ambience. The food is tasty but portions are alittle small but we ate family style and shared two bowls of brown rice, honey duck, pumpkin pork curry, clay pot vegetables, and grilled sea bass. A bit on the expensive side but they do validate a small portion for the parking in the garage.

It was the Saturday after Christmas and everything near the ferry building was crazy busy. Osha is a large restaurant and was able to seat us quickly. The food is good, not great, and pretty expensive for the quality and portion size. The service was quite attentive. If you're really in the mid for Thai food in embarcadero center, this will do fine but I would not go out of my way to have it again.

I've tried OSHA in the Mission and Union Square with their various outlets. I was never really a huge fan. I think all their resources and best menus must be in the location on theEmbarcadero because everything eaten at the table was to die for. Certain people are still talking about this meal. There is really something for all eating preferences (seafood, vegetarian, meat, etc.). You want to have a lot of people at your table because plates are small and then you'll get to try everything. The favorites were the scallops wrapped in bacon and the crispy pork belly.

We were disappointed. We ordered the chicken pad thai but the sauce was much too sweet and gooey. We also ordered the lemongrass sea bass, but it was just a few pieces of fish hidden under a huge pile of shredded ginger. Way too much ginger! The only thing tasty were the samosa appetizers. We will not be going back. I prefer Bangkok Cuisine in Palo Alto for its tasty food and great service.

Went one more time and had pumpkin curry stew with pork and some good appetizers. Still overpriced and showy, but the food was better this time. I have to give the owners credit, they know how to separate the keep up with the Jones's crowd from their money. They have like what, 5 restaurants now? Must be doing well. The appetizers were some kind of beef salad dish, spring rolls and a fried thing. Not especially memorable but not bad either. As it was the last time I ate there, for me this was an expense account lunch so it didn't matter too much the price. Service acceptable but a bit hurried (which is fine, we don't need to converse about the dishes over a business lunch).

Food is great, customer service is not uniform. I came in and the hostess ignored me, I thought maybe she didn't see me, I didn't think it was a big deal. Then about a minute later two women walk in and she turns around with a great big smile and asks them if they've been helped. I was ignored AGAIN! When she comes back she looks at me and then turns around. I say excuse me and she walks away. Maybe she ignored me because I'm short or I'm Latina. I don't like to be disregarded especially when I go to eat. :/ The rest of the staff provided me great customer service and did an excelent job.

This was my first time trying Thai Food and it was good! I eased my way into it with Pad See You and Pineapple Fried Rice. Big fan of all the flavors. I love the Thai Iced Tea too! I'll be back, especially if there's time to kill for a BART delay. We got there right when they re-opened for dinner, so it was pretty empty. We waited about 10-15 minutes for someone to come check on us after we were sat. I would've given 4 stars if we didn't have to wait so long for our server to come to our table... especially since there was no one in the restaurant except us and the staff.

Service!!! Food was great (frog legs starter). Drinks were great (Poulaner on tap alone deserves 5). But even if they weren't this place would still get solid 5 for SERVICE. When someone goes out of their way to save you money thats 5 stars baby. Came in with a large group of friend's coworkers after a few too many drinks at a nearby bar, and when drunkenly put down a tip, to an already added tip (due to group size), one of the server dudes chased us down the street and suggested I correct the added tip since it was already factored in!! That was one of the best service moments ever in the history of service moments.

There's a lot of love for Osha Thai in SF, but I don't know - I didn't think it was that great. The restaurant environment is nice, and the staff is quick and friendly. They were able to accommodate our group of 10 easily. But the food didn't hit the spot for me. Pretty sure I got the Pad See You, but can't entirely remember... (see? not really memorable food) The general consensus around the table was that the food was just okay.

This is one of the best Thai restaurants I've eaten at. We ordered the: LyChee Ice Tea Hot Thai Tea Regular Thai Tea Volcano Beef SeaBass Duck Curry PadThai I wasn't so fond of the Bass but the Volcano Beef and Pad Thai was near perfect. Duck Curry was acceptable and the drinks are pretty decent. I went in a party of 4 and were seated promptly and were served our drinks quickly. Over all, the waitresses and waiters were nice. Service was great. Food was good. Atmosphere was amazing! I love the decor there!

Ech! The ONLY reason I came here was because it was close to my hotel and I was too drunk/tired from wine-tasting Napa Valley to go somewhere further. I had the lemongrass sea bass and my friend got the spicy Thai pan-fried. My sea bass was way too fatty (I know that's usually a good thing but there's only so much fat I can take) and there was too much ginger in the sauce. Plus, the whole thing was way too salty. By comparison, my friend's curry was da bomb, but on its own it would just be mediocre. Don't come here if you want authentic Thai. Not when SF has so many more authentic options.

This place was GREAT! I'm not the biggest thai food fan but this place really blew me away. I had the Grilled Sea Bass which was glazed with sweet hot mustard, served with warm baby bok choy and cilantro aioli. It was really good but I wish they had cooked the sea bass a little more but it was still good. I just took the skin off. My friend customized his pineapple fried rice and they were surprisingly accommodating.

Great Thai food! Everything impressed me! We had the tuna tartare and it was so fresh and delicious with tuna, mango, and avacado. We also had the pad thai which was sooooo good. Pad Thai is my favorite, and only a few places make it just the way I like, and osha is one of them. We then had the duck curry. I had never had duck before but it was really flavorful and moist. The red curry that came with it had a great flavor and just the right amount of spice. I will definitely be back!!

The restaurant is nice and fancy and very upscale. When we went it was not busy, but then we went on a Thursday at 11am. The waitress was nice as she served us water. The food yeah it is a little on the pricey side for Thai food that I am used too, but then again maybe they are hiding the typical health fee everyone else in town charges for :) The food wise the portions were a little small, but then again better for me since I am on a diet. Anyways got the duck which was very good and crispy and juicy. It was not dry at all. The pork belly was very good as well and one of my favorite. Overall a great experience and would come again.

This place was busy for lunch. Since I was dining solo they put me by the waiter's computer on a tiny stool with a short glass top table. It was uncomfortable but I really wanted to try this place out and I love Thai food. After I ordered a small table in a hallway was available and I was offered the opportunity to move so I jumped at it. It was better but in a hallway by the kitchen. I think the atmosphere is better if you get a table in the center of the restaurant. They have a great wine and drink list. I ordered the green chicken curry. It was delicious and the perfect sized portion. I should have ordered it a bit more spicier, it had good flavor but I like more spice. The food is delicious for the price. Yum- I would try another location next time in San Francisco since they have a few of them.

This place is HUGE! Not only do they have a great bar and inside seating area in EC4, but they also have a spacious outdoor seating area with great views of the bay. Most restaurants in Fidi are pretty cramped and shoeboxed in, but this place is perfect for a large lunch party or group. A bit more expensive that average Thai food, but it is considerably better than average Thai food with a bit more attention to detail and thought put into the food. All about the Pumpkin Curry and Lychee cocktails! Love it!!
