Ocha Thai Kitchen and Bar

Fast service. Kid friendly and plenty of seating. They take your payment at your table. It was difficult to find parking but food was amazing. I recommend the Pad See Ew and yellow curry. The yellow curry was very spicy but delicious. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any mango sticky rice. And they don’t do any desserts to go.

I honestly couldn't remember the last time i remember fried rice being this good at a thai place that near rivals a hibachi style restaurant without using a lot of butter! There was also a lot of flavor with spicy level 1 and they offer up to level five (which I probably wouldn't want to imagine). The back looks amazing for a place like this with the back area for parties having a backyard vibe to it complete with hanging lamps. Parking here can be a little bit tricky as street parking is very limited and the provided parking lot is already a supplying parking for many other local businesses around downtown. Service was very friendly however and they do understand there was a 25+ party they had to accommodate and they used that excuse a lot but it was very justified... However, I didn't really see much slowdown in a service as taking orders and receiving the orders was at an acceptable rate.

Had a craving for for Thai and decided to check this place out. Interior was nice. Ordered a beer and appetizer and the Beef Pad see ew. The lady forgot to put in the order for my beer and I didn't even get it until after the main course came out. The fresh rolls were just ok. Tasted like the just wrapped up bagged salad. The peanut sauce was good though. The pad see ew noodles were so overcooked we couldn't eat it. They were straight mush. We had to send it back and got the crispy garlic chicken. Then the chicken came out and was so dry we couldn't finish that either. Maybe they did it on purpose cause we sent the first one back. Overall, Super disappointing. 22 bucks for that? No way!!! And it didn't even come with white rice. I know everything is expensive these days, but no white rice with all that? C'mon now! I've had better Thai at a random corner lot in a strip mall. Sorry to say but I dont really recommend this place.

Had the Ocha Sampler appetizer. Pretty good, but too fried for me. Also had the Crispy Garlic Chicken. Hot & fresh, but I thought too breaded and too sweet. Reminded me allot of General Tsos chkn. Service was helpful and friendly, but never offered a drink other than water. About half full at lunch time. Good parking available.

Kind of a disappointing experience. I’ve been here before and would rave to others about their Crispy Garlic Chicken, but when I had it this time, the chicken was dry and drenched in sauce to try and help it out. The appetizer was deep fried deliciousness. Definitely a must if you can’t decide which appie to get. I tried the signature cocktail, the Passionfruit Refresher. I had to doublecheck to be sure they gave me the right drink because it didn’t have any crystal boba and the flavor was weird. I would not order that again, I didn’t finish it.

Had the opportunity to eat lunch here today and I loved it. I got the chicken pad Thai and my daughter got the garlic chicken. I will definitely go back.

The only thing better than the food is the service. We stopped in here late on a Saturday, and the service was impeccable. The whole staff worked every table as if it were their own. Stop in here for some delicious, reasonably priced food. Absolutely recommend.

The Fresh Tofu Rolls were exceptional. The absolute best soup I’ve had in years was their Khao Soi Noodle Soup with veggies. My meal was delivered to Uber eats which was a frictionless experience Highly recommended

I met my daughter and her boyfriend her for dinner. Not knowing the area I asked her for a Thai food recommendation and we met at Ocha Thai Kitchen. I did notice the parking was packed, which is a good sign but... how to get a coveted parking space was the problem. Nonetheless less we succeeded and made our way to the entrance. Nice ambience, very crowded for a Thursday night. We decided to eat at the bar over waiting 90 minutes for a table. It was great, a little mor quieter in the bar area and we were able to talk and visit. The dishes that we ordered were fantastic one of the best Thai restaurants I have been to in the PNW!

No complaints! Food was delicious, atmosphere was nice and service was consistent. We ordered pineapple chicken fried rice, pad thai, crispy garlic chicken and a limeade. The food was hot and flavorful, the fresh limes for the limeade was sooo good and the portions were appropriate for the price. Can't wait to go back and try their curry.

The GrubHub app said that I ordered my meal for the next day and I ended up calling the restaurant to find out it was ready and waiting. That was the only glitch. I ordered my food for pick up, so I saw the inside and was impressed. I would be willing to go back to have an in restaurant experience. I ordered shrimp Tom Yum soup, beef Pad Kee Mao, and chicken Golden Noodles. All were good and even better the next day. The shrimp was not flavorful but the rest of the soup was delicious. I would be willing to come back and try some of their other popular dishes.

Pineapple and pork fried rice, pork pad thai and crab rangoon is what we ordered. (Sorry no pics this time! Oops!). Everything was DELICIOUS! I must say I am super picky about my crab rangoon and their's is so flavorful. The sauce is a sweet and spicy chili sauce that is also very good. 1 star on the phad thai and it had a nice kick but not too much, 2 stars on the rice and it had a nice spice. All prepared fabulously and the servers are so attentive and kind. Everyone and everything is clean and put together.

Food was good but the service was really bad. We constantly had to try and flag down servers to remind them to bring missing dishes, drinks, soft drinks and even desert. We waited over 25 minutes for our desert just for them to tell us that they boxed it up to go -- which was never communicated to us. The server also took a plate away from my mom while she was eating. The servers were all really rude. Then they added a 20% gratuity which is not what I would have tipped. When flagged down for water or missing items, the servers would just ignore us. I'm not sure what was actually going on. How hard is it to get water? We asked 2 different servers for iced water. Everyone around us was getting iced water and they filled our glasses with just room temp water. They ruined our family dinner night. Will not be back. We got home to find that they only boxed one tiramisu desert and we paid for 3.

We arrived around 7 PM on a Sunday with a reservation. The restaurant was popular, with only a few open tables available. It was spacious, and the staff was friendly and patient. We enjoyed the Ocha Sampler, Pineapple Fried Rice, Crispy Garlic Chicken, Royal Eggplant with Beef, and Phad See-Ew. Parking was available in the rear of the restaurant.

I went here for a lunch and it was decently busy but there were plenty of seats. We got the Tom Yum soup with shrimp and the crispy garlic chicken. Food is pretty decent but not really making the mark for the price point. Crispy garlic chicken was $20 and Tom yum soup is $22 due to a $6 surcharge for shrimp which is a bit insane. The crispy garlic chicken is flavorful but did not pack as much flavor as I hoped, yet the chicken was a bit dry and the sauce is a combo of a bit too sweet and salty. It is a bit overrated. The Tom yum soup was really solid - quite tangy and flavorful. The shrimp is actually really fresh (if it wasn't then I'd definitely complain a lot about their surcharge). Service is good as water refills are fairly frequent and they bring the food and fulfill requests in a timely manner. I wouldn't go out of my way from Seattle to drive here again, but I would consider if I happen to be in the area.

The customer service is ok. I requested hot water with lemon, they never provided hot water. I'm the curry I ordered, there was little vegetables and mainly chicken.

Food was good. Khao soi ($19) came with a lot of chicken but was a little too salty for me, crab delight ($16) was one of the better crab delights I've had before (very creamy), crispy garlic chicken ($20) was true to its name and was very crispy even covered in sauce. Prices were a little expensive but portions made up for it. Rice was $2 extra. Cocktail drinks looked great so I'd like to try that next time. Service was not great. It wasn't bad per se, but it felt like the staff just forgot about us. It took a long time to order and when it was time to pay, nobody came for the check so we had to go up front to pay. Nobody checked in on us while we ate either. They were not short staffed. Ambiance was casual and generally clean. There is a door near the women's bathroom that smelled really bad. Good casual date spot I think.

I've been here several times and it's always been a good experience! The staff is a little slow, but overall they are nice. Their food is delicious and they serve generous portions! I always have more than enough for lunch the next day! They do get busy so it's a good idea to call ahead just in case!

It's been over four years since I've been in to Ocha Thai and I had the chance to go again recently - happy to report they're still just as delicious as they were in 2020! I was here for a quick lunch meeting on a weekday and it was pretty slow so we had quick and attentive service. The two servers we had were both really nice! The front part of the restaurant is cute and definitely more a lunch time vibe, while the back of the restaurant looks like a space for larger events and parties at night time. I went with Chicken Pad Thai which is my go-to. It was great and was a very generous serving - enough for me to take leftovers home and have another meal. I couldn't remember what their spice levels were like so I went with a 3 star and think that I actually could've gone for a 4. We also started with an order of the Prawn Fresh Rolls which were so good! Loved the flavor of the peanut dipping sauce and the rolls themselves were a good size. Additionally, they were wrapped SO well (didn't fall apart the entire time) and the veggies inside of the roll tasted super fresh. Hopefully I find another excuse to stop in soon, because I definitely want to try something new the next time I get the chance!

My sister took me here after our family outing to the movies. I'm glad I gave this place a chance again. I ordered here from UberEats before and let me tell you, the experience between ordering out and delivering vs dining in was day and night. When dining in, the service for us was really quick and efficient, food came out hot and plentiful for everyone to share. It was really flavorful, I just hoped that they had more spices for some of us who likes that burn your booty hole kick to our food. They have a nice parking lot that you can park at. Very cute establishment and super spacious.

Had a great experience here! The food was really good and the service matched it friendly and efficient. Parking was a bit limited, so plan ahead, but overall it's definitely a spot worth checking out.

Really really solid Thai spot in Renton! Pad thai - super flavorful, good portion and everything you are essentially looking for in a pad thai Pad see ew - Best dish of the night, something about it was better than any other I've had in the area tbh Crispy garlic chicken - just alright, I think Bai Tong's is better

Food: the food was delicious! I love Thai food and I ordered the Panang curry. It was the perfect texture and spice! I almost didn't get to share with my husband! Service: the service was great! The staff was attentive and my water was always full so I was very happy. Ambiance: casual restaurant. It was rather busy to r time that we went so there was a lot of conversation and laughter in the building. Which I totally don't mind. When traveling and I'm in the mood for some Thai food I will be back to try different dishes.

Went here on a Saturday afternoon around 3pm. There were several occupied table, but not busy overall. It was just two of us, and we were seated right away. After ordering, our food was brought out after just a few minutes. The garlic chicken was rich and savory with a thick glaze. The fried basil garnish did not offer too much to the flavor, but it was still tasty overall. We also ordered panang curry and Tom Yum soup. Panang curry had a creamy coconut base, and the Tom yum was tangy. Both rich and savory respectively. Service was relaxed and consistent throughout our time dining in. Prices are fair. And there are 3 sections: dining area, bar, event space.

This place is divine! Loved the vibes and our waiter "Naan" was super friendly with such a bubbly and cute personality. Food was amazing! Very tasty and wholesome! Definitely recommend trying this place out! I will be back!

Great food, drinks, service, atmosphere. 5/5 all across.Went with a 20+ party and loved it!

Went there on a weekend. We reserved a table in advance, but walk-ins are also available. We shared the sampler, which was great. I ordered the crispy garlic chicken--I'd give it a 4 out of 5. The portion was generous, and I went with level 2 for the spiciness. Parking was easy, and our server was friendly. Loved the welcoming atmosphere!

At at Ocha twice over the course of 4 days and noticed the flavors were not there quite like they used to be. Also, on all entries and soup I ordered level 4 spice on a scale of 5 but there was little recognizable spice. The Tom Yum was watered down and completely flavorless. Maybe an off week or new people in the kitchen?

I have guests from out of town. What great Renton restaurant could I choose from that has great style, great taste, and could seat a group of eight or more, within 20 minutes? Look no further than Ocha Thai. Having been established for at least ten years which a tie has solidified itself as part of downtown Renton's food scene as one of the best thai restaurants in the city. There are spacious dining areas as well as a very attentive staff. The kitchen is also open where diners can see, and smell, their dishes being made. Coming here is definitely a treat. Fresh shrimp filled spring rolls, as well as deep-fried egg-rolls, always set you off right. Don't forget to have a healthy taste of the papaya salad with your entrees. I definitely couldn't forget about ordering the Chicken Pad Thai. Another future favorite to try is the pineapple fried rice. Your taste buds will thank you! All of these dishes are sharable. So don't be shy to order them all for the entire table. Along with the service, you always leave with a full belly, and definitely a smile. Come get dinner or lunch special at Ocha Thai!!!

The place was really nice but the parking lot was packed and we had to park a couple of blocks away and walk . The restaurant was not that busy so people must have been using that lot for other businesses . It was clean and nicely decorated. We were seated quickly . There seemed to be a bit of a language barrier with the waitress and she was heavily perfumed . It was so strong it wafted through the room every time she walked by .. wayyyyy too much for a restaurant. I ordered Ka soy and my husband ordered cashew chicken and we had the fresh spring rolls . The spring rolls were fresh and good very bland. Could have used a little onion and cilantro for flavor . His meal was really good and the veggies were crisp and fresh! Mine was different .. it was tasty but not a traditional khao soy. Perhaps it varies by the region but it's typically a tomato based broth with ground pork and flat rice noodles and this was yellow curry based and had the thinner ramen style noodles . It was good just not what I was expecting . I will say the food sat very heavy in our stomach after.

Ocha Thai is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Washington! The service is always quick and clean, and the decor is beautiful as well. My favorite dish is the Massaman Curry with beef & a Iced Thai tea They also have a delicious mango sticky rice!!

Solid food, quick service, reasonable prices, cold beer, really nice inside........It doesn't get much better. I eat a lot of Thai food all over the country and the food here is really quite good. The spice level that I ask for was right on point and the servers were very attentive even though they were pretty busy. I'll be back when I'm in town.

Stop here for Thai food on our way back from hiking Mt Rainier. The service was quick and efficient. The restaurant is large and has an event space. We ordered the Ocha sampler, garlic chicken, chicken pad see ew, and mango sticky rice. The sampler was all fried, but it was ok. The garlic chicken was flavorful. The pad see ew noodles were delicious. The only thing that I did not enjoy was the lychee thai iced tea. I love both individually but the lychee syrup used in the beverage had a medicinal taste. Fortunately they were willing to swap it out to the regular version. The mango sticky rice also came with more cream than usual, we were able to scrape some off to make the dessert still enjoyable. If you're looking for Thai and passing through or in the Renton area definitely check this spot out.

If you are ever in Renton, I highly recommend Ocha Thai Kitchen and Bar. We went on a Sunday afternoon around lunchtime and got seated immediately. Everyone was so nice and friendly. We ordered the Thai lemon iced tea for a drink. For food, we ordered the Tom Kha, Beef Pad Thai, and Crispy Garlic Chicken. Everything was flavorful and delicious and came out piping hot. My favorite was the Beef Pad Thai. In my opinion, it was one of the best Pad Thai I've ever had. The noodle consistency and the flavors made it delicious and worth another order. There was ample seating and a good space to seat large parties. I cannot stress how nice everyone was at the restaurant.

Went here for a casual lunch between errands and was super impressed! The space is huge and has a really cool black and gold vibe. I bet it's super popular for dinner and large parties in the evening. I like to play it safe the first time I go to thai restaurants and get something I know will be good, so I got fresh rolls and swimming rama. The fresh rolls were great and I loved the peanut sauce! The swimming rama was also fabulous- the noodles were perfect and had great flavor. I definitely had a lot of leftovers, and they reheated really well too. Our server was kind and attentive and made sure that all my dishes came out gluten free, which was lovely. I will definitely go back next time I am in the area!

Ambiance is nice, chic, can have good conversations. Service is 5/10, it took a long time before someone first checked in. Rice must be bought separately, but food was good. A bit sweeter than what I'd prefer, but veggies well done and creamy green curry.

Ordered the Yellow Curry with tofu and the mango sticky rice for pickup. The order was correct, ready on time, and the spice level was on point. Everything was delicious!

Amazing food, amazing portion sizes, amazing drinks, amazing service! Enough said, You have to go here!!

I've been to the restaurant several times. And I've never reviewed this place. I have not idea why.... I'm rating this restaurant 5 stars because they are the most consistent Thai restaurant, I've ever been. I mean every dish, I've ever ordered tastes the same as the first time I've ordered it. Do you know how hard that is? Service is consistent and the restaurant looks great. To be honest, even if these areas were off, I would still eat here. Consist and Reliable....they will always get my money. Ambiance is a typical Thai restaurant. Next time in Renton, grab some Thai.

Even though there is free parking in the area (on the street or in the lot), it can be tricky to get a spot depending on the time and day of the week. My friend and I decided to grab dinner here on a Wednesday evening. Luckily, we were already in the area beforehand and parked in the streets like a block or two away from the restaurant, so we didn't have to worry about reparking closer to the restaurant. We were seated pretty quickly and assisted just as quick when we were ready to order our food. I ordered the Phad Kee Mao with Fried Tofu at two stars on the spice level scale. I wasn't sure how spicy it would be, but the two stars was very mild in my opinion. Other than that, I enjoyed how hot and flavorful the dish was! It was very filling!

Ordered Pineapple fried rice with fried tofu Phrikkhin fried rice with vegetables , Pad Thai noodles with fried tofu and garlic string beans. Food was great and rich in flavors. Host was super sweet. Ambience was outstanding. Beautiful place to hangout for a good meal

The food is always fresh, nice portions, staff is friendly, the restaurant itself is nice as well. I always get the crab fried rice level 4 spice (the crab fried rice is packed with flavor and needs no addition) and a Thai tea! That's my go to order. My second visit I got my normal order plus an order of gyoza so delish! I've been here three times so far. 10/10 highly recommend and will definitely be back again.

Ordered for take out. Service is fast and wonderful. Items were nicely packed and ensured that spillage is minimized. Ample of parking at the back. Ambiance is welcoming and will definitely come back to enjoy the great tasting menu in the restaurant.

what can i say, 5 stars across the board, hands down. the menu selection, the food, the stunning drinks, the ambient lighting, the gorgeous interior design, the lovely service.. all of it. my kid went from not wanting to try any asian food to asking to try all of it in one night after eating at ocha thai. that being said, she's not the only one obsessed with their green beans & fried rice, so you may want to make a reservation! & yes, the food does not come out instantly but i believe that is part of the experience. our american culture is simply unused to slowing down & enjoying simple beautiful things like meals. let ocha transport you to a more intentional space & time. (i have a tendency to immerse myself in the moment... i'll get a photo next time & update this with it!)

The food was amazing!! Im kind of a Thai food snob and I have a spot I go to that I swear is the best in king county and this is a very close second. We got the crispy garlic chicken and the pineapple rice. I think that rice was the best I've ever had! I have to go back this may be my new Thai spot! The service was great however the tables were really close so we could hear everything our neighbors were saying clearly. If it was not for the close seating it would have all 5 stars.

Top notch flavors and service here. What a wonderful lunch date I had with my cousin. We both ordered the same Red Curry and a side fresh veggie spring rolls to share. Everything was spot on. Spring rolls were Fantastic. Nice, with great tasting vegetables. The peanut sauce was tasty. Next came our lunches. The Curry Oh my lord! I am not sure how they did but their Red curry was the beat I've ever had. Not only was it a beautiful presentation it was finger licking good. Portion sizes are great! It's must I come back here. Great hidden gem! Yummy Yummy for my tummy. Keep up the great work ya'll are doing here!

Wouldn't recommend takeout. Portion is small, especially the papaya in the prawn papaya lettuce salad, and you'd be missing out on the ambiance. Pad kee maos were kind of sweet

Absolutely one of the best Thai restaurants we have ever been to. The flavors are over the top fantastic with everything done to perfection. Just love the Larb, garlic chicken and beef with noodles. We will always stop in Renton whenever we visit Seattle. Simply the best!

This restaurant was pretty good! We arrived when they had just opened so service was fast and there was lots of seating available. For appetizers we ordered: 1) Chicken Satay which is chicken marinated in coconut milk & curry served with a peanut sauce. These were so crispy and yummy! The peanut sauce was good as well. A great way to start off our dining experience. (4/5) 2) Crab Delight which were wontons stuffed with imitation crab and cream cheese. Perfect crab to cream cheese ratio, these were a favorite as well (4.5/5) For shareable dishes we ordered: 1) Crab Fried Rice: not my favorite dish BUT I will give the restaurant that they were very generous with the crab portions! The crab did sit on top of the rice instead of mixed in with the rice but it was still an okay dish. Just your general fried rice (3/5) 2) Garlic String Beans (w/ chicken) - these were amazing!!! (5/5) this is something I wouldn't normally order BUT they were delicious! I personally love garlic and I loved the sauce the string beans came in. This was probably my favorite out of all the dishes! For my personal dish I ordered Chicken Phad Thai which is noodles with a bunch of veggies and chicken. Tamarind base sauce - I ordered the 3 stars and it wasn't spicy. They have an 11 star system so I chose to play it safe but I would definitely order a spice level of 6 or 7 next time for a mild spice. (3.5/5) And lastly (not pictured)..for dessert, we ordered mango sticky rice which is sticky rice served with a coconut sauce and mango slices. Absolutely delicious and perfect way to end our meals!! (5/5) We actually ordered A LOT of food and it came down to about ~$270 (mind you we ordered about 7 dishes so this was a pretty good price point). Everything was so filling, we took a lot of food home too. Overall great service and food!

Ocha is pretty good and upholds my high standards for Seattle Thai food. I'm glad to have it closer to home than some of the best places in the city or the east side, and the food is good enough to blow away anything in the US outside of Seattle, California, or New York. That said, if I'm trying to impress a friend from out-of-town, I'll sooner take them to Isarn or Bangrak Market. Ocha does Renton proud but is missing that little extra zing needed to reach the highest heights of Thai food in the area.

Ambiance (4/5) - Cozy place with calm vibes. The place where you can have conversation with each other and be heard. Food (4/5) Crispy Vegetables roll (1/5) - Way too oily, but the filling was good. Phad Kee Mao (4/5) - this place spicy range is 0-15 and we went for 15. It was just the right amount of spice we needed. Both noodles and chicken was tender and flavorful Red Curry (4/5) - The curry was thick and flavorful. Service (5/5) - The staff was super friendly and the service was quite quick! Will definitely go again!!

Another favorite Thai place in Renton. My boyfriend and I usually go there for lunch when we are in the area to get haircuts. The interior is clean and pleasant, the food is delicious and reasonably priced, and the staff is attentive. There isn't much more I ask for in a restaurant. Have been here half a dozen times and will be back!

Just WOW. We ate here two days in a row it was so good. My husband and I stopped here with our two kiddos on Sunday night. It was busy, but not crazy. We were seated and given waters immediately. We saw another table had a dish that looked great so we asked them what it was, they said crispy garlic chicken. So we ordered it. Along with pad see ew, massaman curry, pineapple fried rice, and calamari to start. Let me start with the calamari. It was super crisp and they ate sticks, not rings. I don't care either way as long as it's good and they were! Served with a green sauce that was spicy and sweet chili. My husband loved the green, and I went with the sweet chili. Our son even loved the calamari! I love Thai curry. All types. I went with the massaman and it was so creamy and delicious. Tons of chicken, too. The pad see ew was classic and delicious. Can never go wrong ordering that. They didn't skimp on the meat there either. Pineapple fried rice was something different than we would normally go for, but it is surprisingly delicious! Full of flavor and I enjoyed the sweet touch of the pineapple in it. Last, the crispy garlic chicken. I mean, woowww. I'm so glad we asked the next table about it. We would've never got it on our own. It was incredible. The crispness even lasted the next day. It is so flavorful, and slightly sweet. It reminded me slightly of Orange chicken texture, but better. This dish is a MUST TRY. We are so glad to have found a Thai restaurant close to home that we love. Lots of future dinners here and takeout!

The food here is always consistently good and the service is friendly. I always think it's great going to a place you frequent with someone hasn't been cause you end up trying something new. That's exactly what happened with visit brought my friend George. He was excited to try Khao Soi for the first time and loved it. The dish he selected was Phad Kaprao we didn't add the egg. This dish was so good you could taste the wok char nicely caramelized ground pork and the veggies still had a nice snap them would definitely get this dish again!!

One of the better Thai restaurants around, nice friendly service and the food is great of course. I love their crispy garlic chicken, and usually get pad thai or panang curry which are very good. I get potstickers mostly for my kids, and they are good but not very crispy though that could be from being in the takeout container. Also, portions are pretty large and we usually have a decent amount of leftovers. No white rice included, which is a slight annoyance, and costs $2 for some rice.

Ordered delivery and the food was generally quite good. Crispy garlic chicken was spectacular, Phad Thai and pineapple fried rice were good. Only downsides were that the papaya salad was a little bland and a 3-star spicy was not spicy at all.

Such delicious food! We went with a friend who absolutely loves this place and she was totally right. Their food was so tasty and the portions were generous. Plus the staff and ambiance were good too! Definitely will be coming back here sometime
