Osha Thai Montgomery

Wish I got the hot Pad Thai! But did medium with pepper on the side. It was a bit confusing if I should've sat myself but opted to wait and a diaper gentleman sat me at a table for 1. They had a large party but despite that I had a good experience and the food was great. Would return

I haven't eaten in any US Thai restaurant before so I don't know the US standard but for me the "@extra spicy" green seafood curry I would have called mild. I was actually quite surprised at how good the curry and how really good the brown rice was. Brown rice in restaurants like this is a difficult standard to aspire to. The brown rice totally matched the seafood curry deliciously. I eat brown rice cuz I like it and for health reasons but I don't expect a restaurant seafood curry to be enhanced by it! They were beautifully married I can't describe the nuance of the green curry but was surprised at how it suggested so many unexpected flavors...after all this was not a five star restaurant. It was a delicious meal. Then I followed it with mango and sticky rice. I adore mango and this mango and rise gave it credit. I don't know how they make it but it is beyond my skills- I keep running it's flavors throughout my head. The restaurant is comfortable and despite the extra high ceilings and industrial looks it was amazingly not loud with amplified conversation such as some restaurants with that architectural ambiance manage, and I hate eating surrounded by amplified conversation from all across the room: another very pleasant plus I'm not saying five star restaurant - I'm say good job well done with very kind staff And very good food, judging by one dish

The food was absolutely delicious, with authentic flavors that really stood out. Red curry and samosas were especially great. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a pleasant place to dine. Unfortunately, the service was bit slow but the food made up for it

Amazing experience for a group! Came here with 11 and they had a big table waiting for us. Good: - So much variety and quality Thai food - I liked the pad Thai and the pad see ew, classic dishes but they were very solid - Tasty papaya salad and crab Rangoon appetizers - Good ambiance nice and quiet for large group - Very nice staff who were were attentive Bad: - Food takes a while to come out but it’s worth the wait Overall this was a great place for a private group dining experience

Osha Thai really disappointed us on our last visit. Let me preface this by saying we have been going to other Osha locations (Geary St. the old one on 3rd St., Embarcadero, etc.) for years. However, the Montgomery location fell short of our expectations. Our party of three ordered their Boat Noodle Soup, Pad See Ew, and Tom Kha Noodle Soup. All three dishes were mediocre. The Boat Noodle Soup was lukewarm and lacked flavor. My Pad See Ew noodles were also lukewarm and were not chewy. The Tom Kha was probably the most decent item, but that is being generous. Service was friendly, and the atmosphere was pleasant, but those aspects don't make up for the quality of the food. I hope this was an isolated event as I've had nothing but positive experiences at Osha up to this point.

I recently dined at OSHA Thai Montgomery with a few colleagues. The place was basically full when we got there, but we were seated within a few minutes. Service was good and the food was great. Everyone got something different and everyone greatly enjoyed their meals. Food was fresh and made with quality ingredients. Prices were reasonable. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area.

This place is one of the best Thai food places I’ve been to and mesmerizing ambience. Siting by the side of the window with a view of the busy street it gives me typical New York vibes. The service was amicable and responsive. We visited this place on a weekend and was not that busy. We ordered crab Rangoon, Thai curry veg, drunken chicken noodle, pad see wee and chicken soup noodles. The crab Rangoon was fresh and creamy. A must try for people who love seafood. The chicken drunken noodle was also pretty good, less spicy with medium spice and had a good hint of smoky wok flavor. The Thai curry was creamy and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. It was so flavorful that I couldn’t let it go. The tofu pad see wee was also good with delicate tofu and smoky flavor. The least favorite was the chicken soup noodles as it was bland and didn’t have any spice. For the dessert we had mango sticky rice which is a must try. This was my first time trying this dessert and I fell in love with it. The rice was warm with a hint of sweetness and coconut flavor and the mangoes were fresh and had a touch of sourness. It was topped with fresh coconut ice cream. All together it was one good experience that I had. The price was a bit expensive but it was totally worth for the experience. Must try place if you love Thai food.

Love this place! Food service ambiance everything is great! I have been here twice already. We had the Yellow chicken curry and Pad See Eew with Mango sticky rice the first time. Loved it all. Mango in the mango sticky rice felt a bit raw but maybe it was a one time thing. Then we had the Drunken Noodles and Thai Lychee Drink. Again amazing!

I'm vegetarian (no eggs), I got their 1. Drunken noodles (tofu, no egg) and the Thai spice - 5/5 I love this so much omg 2. Fresh vegetable rolls - this is toooo good esp with the peanut sauce and they are so crispy and fresh 5/5 I got take out but their service was very quick and the ambiance seems so good tbh

A new location in Fidi! Convenient for me to come with my coworkers. Been an Osha Thai fan for over 10 years now and it's the perfect restaurant to come to with a large group since they have vegetarian and gluten-free options. They are very accommodating. We came for lunch on a Wednesday with a group of 12 and they didn't have enough tables available to push together since all the existing tables were spread out all across the restaurant. They offered us a table of 6, 4, and 2. I fought them because it's rude for the group of 2. We squeezed 7 and 5 into the 6 and 4, much to their dismay but we totally fit with no issues. I didn't want to make a reservation because over a group of 10 means you have to pay a $100 deposit and it looked like there were tables available all the time during weekday lunch. I mean they were available but sadly not combinable. Food came out fast. The crab rangoons were whatever, I was disappinted. I enjoy their pad see ew commonly but tis time I got the pork chop fried rice. It was a good portion. My coworker's crab fried rice also looked very good.

Ordered a bunch more stuff, so can update my review: Favorites (order every time): - Pumpkin Curry - Green Curry - Pad Thai Runner Ups (almost as good): - Pad Se-Ew - Spicy Eggplant - Yellow Curry. The curry itself is quite tasty, but the addition of potatoes is a bit too much carb on carb for me. This one is almost one of the favorites, and might join the rotating cast of curries. - Roasted Duck Curry. I like the cherry tomatoes and pineapple. But the duck is just kind of sitting there in the curry, so it's hard to split. Want to Try: - Tom Kha Soup - Volcanic Beef Sides: - Fried rice is my favorite - The sticky rice is a lump of hard purple rice that's kind of hard to chew. I'm not really sure what they were going for here. - Steam Rice is just regular white rice Spicy Level: - I usually go Mild, but ordered Hot once and it was fine, not too bad

Similarly named to the OSHA nearer to central FiDi (near Salesforce) but not nearly as good. The duck noodles were $30, which included a duck thigh and noodles. The noodles broke apart on contact and was not fun to eat. The duck was soft and savory though, but eat it quick as the skin got mushy fast. The spring rolls were good, I do like the paper they use but $16 was a bit much. Great place to chitchat with great ambiance. Drink menu leaves much to be desired. Service was nice.

Presentation was great but the taste was just ok; can't complain. I've definitely had better Thai food at other places. My go-to is always the Pad Se-ew as a baseline and this one doesn't really hit the mark. The pineapple fried rice was a bit soggy and the onions felt out of place; maybe because it wasn't very cooked and was chunky. The BBQ beef plate was probably the best out of the 3 items we ordered. I actually enjoyed the garden salad haha The service was amazing though. The staff was very attentive and prompt.

I came here with my boyfriend and his family yesterday night for dinner. There were 9 of us, 2 of which were kids. We sat at the table by the window that looks out to the street. The restaurant is beautiful with a very nice aesthetic. We ordered the Osha BBQ Platter with Green Papaya Salad, Crab Fried Rice, Crab Rangoon, and Samosa. When they brought out the platter, I was very surprised at how big it was. The platter, along with the other dishes we ordered, was more than enough food for all of us. I would say the platter is enough to feed at least 4 people. The platter included a variety of meats. They were all seasoned and cooked well. If I had to choose a favorite out of the meats, I would probably say the lamb. Lamb isn't usually my favorite, but the way they cooked it here was very good. It was tender and not overdone. It also didn't have that strong meaty lamb flavor that throws me off sometimes. Now, if I had to choose my favorite out of all the dishes we had, I would say the samosas. I loved the filling - the curry, the mashed potatoes, the carrots, and they were crispy and flaky. It came with a cucumber salad, which included cucumbers in some kind of fish sauce (I think) concoction. This was also very good and went well with the samosas. The staff members were nice and friendly. Service was very good, no complaints. Overall, we had a wonderful dinner here!

NASA asked me to create meals for the space shuttle. Thai chicken was the favorite. I flew in a fake space shuttle, but I have no desire to go into space after seeing the toilet -- Rachael Ray A Tale of Two Thais - Part 2! This is a newer establishment close to my SF office. Have been twice, once with my executive colleagues; once taking my team out for Christmas holiday lunch. The restaurant is loud but not overly loud like some restaurants are. Service is friendly and efficient. I have tried multiple dishes and all were excellent except the apps are just so-so. I'd stick with the entrees with my favorite being the beef volcano. It can be a little pricey for lunch so have someone else pay for it if possible ;-) Drink menu looks good although with two business meals I only had soft drinks. Recommended!!

I would go to OSHA thai years ago ..many OSHA thai restaurants ..nice interior ..menu with standards..got pad see ew ..same as Chinese flat rice noodles ..different sauce ....Thai food is different sauce and spice ...it depends ..San Francisco has so much Thai food ...enjoy OSHA thai brand It says that I posted yelp about OSHA thai ten years ago 2015 ...happy anniversary Thai food SF

Really nice, lively casual atmosphere perfect for a business lunch in the FiDi! Service is quite fast, surprisingly given how busy they are. I would recommend making a reservation beforehand. Food is amazing--especially the volcanic beef which is really aromatic.

Trendy atmosphere, Well presented playing and delicious food. Service was friendly but very inefficient; for example I clearly stated my food allergies and asked the server to check with the kitchen. TWICE we were served dishes containing the allergens. TWICE the food had to be made again. It took at least 8 minutes for us to get our beverages even though we were the only guests at that time. FOOD: Crab rangoons and the syrupy spice sweet dipping sauce was my son's favorite. The mango fried shrimp was fabulous. ENTREES: Curry duck leg was my daughter's favorite and served with choice of rice and rice pancakes. The beef and green beans was a nice choice with the fresh green beans slightly caramelized with a side of sticky rice-simple and straightforward. This restaurant is a short walk from high end shops like Neiman's and the Macy's

Wonderful place in the FiDi to have lunch. At first, I didn't know what to order, but when I did it was delicious. Can definitely recommend the BBQ Pork Ribs plate. It comes with side salad and choice of rice. The house dressing is amazing. In the end, it was a lot of food. Desserts were good too. Nice service and the table was just enough room. Would definitely come here again.

Amazing experience for a group! Came here with 11 and they had a big table waiting for us. Good: - So much variety and quality Thai food - I liked the pad Thai and the pad see ew, classic dishes but they were very solid - Tasty papaya salad and crab Rangoon appetizers - Good ambiance nice and quiet for large group - Very nice staff who were were attentive Bad: - Food takes a while to come out but it's worth the wait Overall this was a great place for a private group dining experience

Modern decor and great lighting. This is one of my team's and my favorite restaurants in the financial district. We always have team lunches here. Quick service with a variety dishes. My favorite go to dish is the tarmarind sauce.

Second time in 1 week because it's too good and service is fast! They accommodated the 9 of and overall, great experience, atmosphere and food!

The volcanic beef is so good and alway consistent. You can't go wrong with any of the noodles also.

I was excited at the thought of Osha Thai opening up a new location on Montgomery, in the heart of the financial district. I thought it would be a good spot for after work happy hour, or even a place for lunch with your work team. While they don't have a happy hour menu yet, they are officially pushing to make it happen! Our group of 4 visited on a Thursday evening to get some beers and appetizers to share. They do have a wine and beer menu. We ordered the chicken satay w/ paratha, crispy spring rolls, spicy tiger shrimp, and the plamuk tod (whole squid calamari). I can say for each dish, it was delicious, served hot, and definitely shareable. The seasonings for all the food was out of this world, and the sauces paired with the food were really good too. (I especially like their satay and "chicken sauce") Our waitress also sent us a plate of the tamarind chicken wings on the house which was a nice treat. I love the spacious interior which feels so relaxing and definitely feels like an elevated dining experience with the wonderful presentation of food and nice glassware.

The food was quite yummy here though was a little expensive. But it's a good celebratory meal with friends/coworkers. The ambiance is super nice and modern, feels really elevated and fancy. The plating and presentation was also amazing. My favorite fish was the crispy pork fried rice but we order many dishes and appetizers like the mango shrimp and it was amazing. Would come back again but will say it's not the cheapest restaurant.

Great food and even better drinks. This place is a hidden gem near the Ferry Building. The curries were great and a great ambiance for a date night with some drinks.

This is some of the best Thai cuisine I have had in a while! I highly recommend the mango prawns appetizer. The pumpkin curry with rice and the drunken noodles with beef were excellent! High quality ingredients and full of flavor. Modern casual restaurant that's popular with the people who are working in the city.

Came here for dinner with friends on a Wednesday night. I ordered the crispy pork fried rice. The fried pork belly was delicious and came with a dipping sauce. The egg fried rice was a little soggy and not much flavor. The herbal soup on the side needed some salt but was still refreshing to sip on. Friends enjoyed their dishes as well!

I was craving some curry, and Osha had a wonderful selection! They even had a seasonal pumpkin curry which intended up ordering. It was delicious, hearty, and full of flavor. My friends got the roasted duck curry and another pumpkin curry. They were extremely accommodating. They adjusted the spiciness for all of us based on our preferences, and when it came out too spicy for my friend, they brought it back and gave her a version with more soup broth to tone it down. I didn't realize there are a bunch of different locations. I'm guessing it's a local chain. There is one closer to me by the embarcadero so I can't wait to try that one, too. Great to have an option nearby!

The food was absolutely amazing! This is a super cute spot we stopped by before watching a movie, the inside is super beautiful and the ambience is perfect! The service could have been better - we did wait quite a while for our food, and the servers hardly checked on us. Regardless, everyone was friendly, food was great, and I'd come back to try other stuff on the menu! The Crispy Mango Prawn was really light and a great start to our meal. It was spicy and sweet, though my partner and I agreed it may have been a better balance if it was slightly less sweet. The Thai Iced Tea was perfect - it was the right amount of creamy and very flavorful! For dinner, we got the Spicy Basil (I chose Pork for the protein) dish with fried rice and a Beef Pad Se-Ew. I really loved the Spicy Basil fried rice, I couldn't get enough of it! The flavors were well balanced and packed a nice punch, the spice level was adjustable since you are free to add as much sauce as you'd like. I liked that the Pad Se-Ew noodles were light and think the Beef was a solid choice for this dish.

One of the better locations if you ask me. Not open on the weekends yet but beer and wine is available. Parking is pretty sparse until after 7pm then there's plenty. Amazingly friendly staff. Spacious and nice space. Puck is the owner and served us himself. Super sweet and courteous. The food is awesome. Highly recommend a visit after your day is over for some solid Thai. We had the sampler and some desserts and everything was so good! The grilled meats were especially good in my book and the sticky rice and mango.

My family and I are Thai food aficionados so when we vacation, we always seek out the local Thai places. However Osha Thai was on another level. Ambiance, great service and food combined with value in one of the most expensive places and you've got a winner. And speaking of winner, everyone needs to try their calamari - it was a whole, fresh squid!

Love this place! Food service ambiance everything is great! I have been here twice already. We had the Yellow chicken curry and Pad See Eew with Mango sticky rice the first time. Loved it all. Mango in the mango sticky rice felt a bit raw but maybe it was a one time thing. Then we had the Drunken Noodles and Thai Lychee Drink. Again amazing!

This new Osha Thai has served up some delicious lunch for us. I've always loved the location in the Embarcadero and this place is just as good. The presentation and playing is top notch and I'm a sucker for nice plating and silverware. And to top it all off, the food is amazing. I've tried the green curry and their mala noodles and both exceeded my expectations. Full of flavor and ingredients. Their dessert was also SO delicious! Fried banana with ice cream omg and mango sticky rice. And finally, the service is also on point. It was a little slow to get our food (during rush lunch time) but they acknowledged it and made up for it. I would definitely be coming back for lunch and I highly recommend everyone to try it too!

Great place to grab a quick bite on your lunch break! Food is great! Staff is quick and friendly. My favorite was the spicy fried rice.

Excellent & delicious Thai cuisine in a very nice new Financial District location and great service. We ate lunch with a party of 7 people so that we could try as many dishes as possible. Very conducive to sharing food, family style. Everything we had was very good: samosas, papaya salad, chicken satay, pad Thai, pineapple fried rice, tomyun soup, sautéed green beans, BBQ beef (served in big slabs), mango with sticky black rice, fried bananas with vanilla ice cream. You can choose the meat (chicken, pork, beef, shrimp) or fried tofu for each dish. Generous portions, reasonable prices for quality food. I will keep coming back!

Here for just a week and was planning to visit a new restaurant each day. This restaurant is making me want to come here Monday through Sunday. The food tastes just like you were in Bangkok! Presentation. Looks like ur in a 5 star hotel!! Prices are also super affordable and place is so chic looking. To top everything off-staff was sooo kind too!

My girlfriend and I were in town for a children's hospital charity event, and we had dinner at Osha Thai for my first time at their newest location. I've never been to another location, though my girlfriend had, and she really wanted to try the new one. It was an outstanding experience. We were the only customers there when we came in and were promptly sat. We ordered the papaya salad, the volcano beef, the duck curry, and the drunken noodles (all medium spice and for sharing). I requested a side of their spiciest sauce to add to my portions so my girlfriend wouldn't die from capsaicin. Our papaya salad arrived first, and the presentation was gorgeous. The flavor was complex and incredible, with a delicious and spicy dressing. It was so refreshing and delicious! Unfortunately, the medium spicy level was a little too much for my girlfriend. Our server, who I believe was named Bow, noted that my girlfriend was reacting mildly to the level of spice. She came to the table moments later with a sweet Thai iced tea, complimentary, to help her manage the burn. That is five-star, luxury service! Both my girlfriend and I working for one of the largest hotel companies, we were ready to steal her for one of our properties! She made the experience so much better with a small gesture that showed she empathized and devised a solution on the fly for my girlfriend. Can't speak enough about how impressive that was! Then we dove into the best item we both had (not to say ANYTHING was bad), which was the duck curry. If I could swear on yelp, I'd drop an OM*G here. This dish was so complex, spicy, sweet in flavor, it's impossible to describe. It was almost like it was cooked in a red pumpkin coconut curry with hints of cinnamon and maybe five spice... but also had grapes in it. These are all the flavors we tasted, not necessarily the ingredients. Before we dug into it, my girlfriend asked me to cut up the duck leg. I told her, "I think you will be able to pull it apart with a spoon." She tried. And it did. The duck leg was cooked to a confit or sous vide-level of moist perfection. We put the excess curry sauce over our fried rice. Next we hit the volcano beef which was perfectly cooked medium-rare with a delicious sauce and bell + chili peppers, topped with a "volcano" of onion rings with some green onions. This also went great with our fried rice. It was still too spicy for my girlfriend, but we still loved it! Last we ate the drunken noodles with shrimp. This was the only time I needed to use the extra spicy sauce, and it actually seemed less spicy than the regular/medium spicy sauces. It was still a good level of spice, but it wasn't as spicy as I expected. The drunken noodles were great, but maybe the least flavor-complex menu item. That by no means is to say it was bad - we loved it! The ambiance of the restaurant was calm, lit in a very hip fashion. The most important part of this entire review was our server Bow and the cook/chef. I have eaten at countless Thai restaurants. I am always disappointed by something. THIS IS THE BEST THAI RESTAURANT I HAVE EVER BEEN TO! Not a single thing disappointed me, and the service was like a luxury restaurant, without the uppity snootiness. Bow was fun, engaged with us at just the right amount, and made our visit better than could have been expected. Thank you Bow, cook/chef and Osha Thai for the best dining experience I've ever had in San Francisco. We will be back, for sure!

Love their food!! Especially the crispy shrimp, curries and BBQ! We go at least once a month

This is a creative take on delicious traditional Thai dishes. Everything is fresh and hot when served. This service isn't particularly fast but you get a better experience overall if you have time to enjoy. It's on the embarcadero which has beautiful water views. A great option for a creative Thai experience!

Went on a weeknight for early dinner with a friend. The service was very attentive and the food was great. Will definitely go back again.

Really enjoy the food there! Especially the tenderness of the chicken. I'll come back next time to try more dishes.

Went here as a birthday celebration & enjoyed it very much. Since we'd called ahead for a reservation & I arrived early, we got a great corner seat to people watch - always a bonus in SF. Some dishes were new to me and except for one too spicy sauce, it was all superb. Their snow crab is actually crab, not that nasty fish that is often called crab - yuck. Other highlights were the mushrooms in one soup, and the sticky mango rice with coconut ice cream dessert, which was fab. The wait staff could not have been better - really great service with a wonderful attitude. Nice, clean restrooms. And, you get a small orchid or two with the meal to keep, pass on, put behind your ear & dream of a tropical escape. As others mention, it gets very crowded & loud over lunch. So, making a reservation is strongly recommended - there were people waiting for seats once the crowd arrived. Also, if you can get there before noon or very shortly thereafter, you will be able to relax and hear one another. Finally, the locale makes it easy to access public transit or walk a bit to other places of interest downtown - maybe burn off some calories. ;-)

One of the better spots in the area. Crab Rangoon and Thai basil and mata soup are the best

Came here for a team dinner and was pretty impressed! We had the samosas, crab Rangoon, and large bbq plate. The samosa texture was a good balance between soft and crispy and the potatoes melted in my mouth. I wasn't the biggest fan of the crab Rangoon, the shell was a bit too crispy/papery for my liking but no bad. The large bbq plate was a killer. We fed like 4 adults no joke and it was super tasty. Everything was pretty tender and well seasoned, the ribs were melt in your mouth/falls off the bone. Honestly beyond the meat itself the sticky rice was also seasoned well. The layout is spacious and clean. Staff was friendly but there was only one server managing like 6/7 tables, honestly felt kind of bad for her but everything came out timely. Overall pretty great!

My mom and I have always been going to the OSHA in the TL but maaaan, this location is just top notch. The place is new and very well decorated. The service was very quick and our server was attentive and made recommendations too. The food. The food was delicious. We ordered the 5 spice beef and the rice it came with was on top of a banana leaf and it was just so good, the leaf gave it more flavor. The portions were generous too, especially for that price. Would definitely come back again!

Great variety of Thai food. Has the beef pad see eww, volcanic beef, chicken green curry and shrimp pad Thai. Everything came out perfect.

Food was amazing best Tom yum soup. The presentation was beautiful and neat also had the green papaya salad.

I didn't take any pics of our food or drinks but everything was great! The presentation and flavors were spectacular, and the service was phenomenal.

This place is great!!! Food is amazing and the service is super friendly. This is probably some of the best Thai food I have ever had in a long time!! Come here!!

Food was delicious. Seated right away at lunch hour with no reservation (shocking)! We ordered crab rangoon, papaya salad and chicken sate for apps. The sate was the best I've ever had. The skewers are bigger than most restaurants and were perfectly moist. We also ordered two noodle dishes - pad see ew and pad thai, which were both fabulous. 10/10 will return again.

We got Chicken skewers and thai iced tea with lemonade (no milk just the tea and lemonade Arnold Palmer style) and Thai coffee not too sweet and really strong! The app was a good size for sharing with 4 satay chicken skewers and puffed roti. The beef was really well marinated and juicy. Papaya salad was good and spicy.

They charge five dollars for tea but one, two, three request for hot water refill is a challenge.

The food was awesome. We had the fried chicken rice, pad Thai shrimp, and pad see ew. They were all prepared superbly and tasty. The owner Puck is so kind and friendly. The ambience is welcoming and casual .

Update to my previous review. OSHA reached out and explained what happened to my order. I appreciate them doing so.

We had many of the dishes....curries, bbqs, noodles, soups, dishes, etc. They just opened up this location recently and it did not disappoint.

I had dinner here yesterday with some friends and it was one of the best Thai food in the area. The spacious layout flooded with natural light created a welcome ambiance. It's a true taste of Thailand, with authentic flavors and attentive staff. Tucked away around the corner of Montgomery St. lies a culinary haven. For those craving a culinary adventure, this hidden gem is a must- visit destination.
