Osha Thai Restaurant

Osha is a fairly trendy Thai restaurant chain throughout the city. It's slightly overpriced, but it's pretty decent food. It's mainstream Thai, although they do have some authentic dishes.

It's located right by my office so we tend to

Pros: fresh fish, trendy thai

Cons: a little pricey

I normally like osha thai but the service on friday night was terrible....After being told by the hostess that our table would be ready in 15 minutes about on hour later, we left.\r
Be upfront and say one hour if that is the case. Also,

I've always been a fan of OSHA Thai; especially when I worked a couple doors down from the SOMA location. I appreciate OSHA Thai for introducing me to Pad Se Ew and Volcanic beef. I like places that I visit that are consistent, and OSHA

Pros: the food

Cons: the cold environment, the wait staff

I went to this wonderful Thai restuarant the other evening with a group of friends we had the most AWESOME time! Great Thai food, nice atmosphere and reasonably priced as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone

Pros: Convenient location (to downtown where I work) Great Thai food, nice place! Friendly wait staff!

Cons: Not a single thing.

Have only come here for lunches. We always get the penang chicken curry, very good. Usually the pineapple prawns or duck does it for me. This time decided to try the angry prawns. Giant prawns and eggplant nicely done, but the sauce

The food is off-the-hook at this place. This is the best Thai food I've ever had. The place gets very busy at the peak times (eg, 12:00 - 1:00PM), and service can be difficult at times, but I still love Osha.

Pros: the food

Cons: busy, loud, and sometimes the service could be better

I've been to the unglam, original Osha which was the best of all Osha locations. Visited this location around 10 times since it's close to work. Each time the food & service is worse than before. Last night will be the last. My friend

Pros: glam look

Cons: food & service

Used to love this place till my last experience....ordered all vegetarian food- one dish had hair strand in it - so sent it back - another noodle dish had chicken in it - i had a bite and then realized it so had to send it back as well.no

Cons: bad customer service

We tried this restaurants a few times because it's close to both our place and our friend's place but food is only so-so and service is horrible. We even tried take out a couple times and they can't seem to get the order right. When we

Pros: can't think of any

Cons: food, service, steel seats that will cut into your legs

I've never been excited to give a place a bad review before! \r

The setting is nice, if you are into the trendy, minimalist decor, neo-dot-com look of granite, uncomfortable wire chairs, etc. You will be joined by hundreds of your kin,

Pros: good cocktails

Cons: horrible service and mediocre food

We found a rubber band in one of our dishes. That should have been a sign to leave. There was so much MSG in all the food it was horrible. My friend stayed up all night after ,because she had stomach pains. If you value your health this

Cons: MSG, bad service, things in your food

As a very frequent patron of Osha Thai on Second Street, I find the food and atmosphere to be quite wonderful, however, in the dozens, if not close to a hundred of visits over the past year alone, with four trips just this week alone, I am

Pros: Superior modern Thai cuisine

Cons: Poor Service

I've eaten here a few times and each time there was something to ruin my dining experience. The food's quite good, but doesn't make up for the appalling, snotty service you're pretty much guaranteed. The chairs are like sitting in a fryer

I went there recently for a birthday party. Since the party was so big we had to be broken into two tables, which was fine. They only have one option per wine - ie only one cab, one pinot, one zin. We ordered the Cab and it was terrific

Pros: great food and prices

Will not take reservation for a party of 5 for lunch although I pointed out that their website specifically states that parties of 5 or more can make reservations.

Cons: crowded, very noisy, uncomfortable chairs

i went there with a group of friends. my friend and i both ordered the beef noodle soup which comes in a boat shaped bowl. let me tell you, it was THE MOST SALTIEST noodles i have ever had. it was like the cook dumped in 5 packs of top

I have eaten at Osha on Second and in the Embarcadero and both are outstanding. The curry dishes are wonderful and the pad thai is excellent. The food has the crisp spicy flavor of Thailand. The service is top notch. All of the Osha

Pros: Food, service, ambience

Cons: Long wait if you don't have reservations

You know, by now, I should know the routine: Great Thai restarant opens up, offering great food at unbelievably low prices. Once they've got the patronage of the surrounding area, they jack the prices RIGHT UP! When I first moved to San

Pros: Great Food, Great Décor

Cons: Prices have recently gone up, and are now a bit high

Food was awesome! Good size portions for one person or to split a few entrees for the table. Service was great and they keptt the drinks coming.

Forget Koh Samui & the monkey, Thep Phanom or Manora. Osha Thai is not only twice as fun to be in, the menu is highly inspired, delicious and served up by the sweetest and cutest waitstaff you'll find anywhere. The fusion dishes such as

Having been here at least 10 times (I can't help that my coworkers have bad taste) I think I am quite qualified to say that Osha on Second Street should be crossed off your list.\r
\r
The food is the least horrible part of this restaurant.

Cons: Long lunch lines, woeful service

Inside the restaurant rocks. I love the atmosphere, good service, and great drinks, BUT the food does not compare to the original one...at all. I work down the street from this one, but if I have a car then I drive to the one on Geary

Pros: great atmosphere, good service, more drinks

Cons: food was only "okay", more expensive than other osha spots

Fun spot to go to for lunch or dinner. Usually stays busy and has a lively feel. The red curry duck is good, as was the eggplant with chicken.

Everytime I've been in Osha, it's been busy. Service is pretty good but be warned, cocktails are kind of expensive!

Pros: Good service.

Cons: Expensive cocktails. Parking.

My B-friend and I love this place. By far one of the best values in town. We get an appt,
2 entrees ans 2 beers each for $50. ( with tip!!) We always had leftovers. If you can, make a reservation. I have been several times and have always

Pros: food, value, food

Cons: no bar

First time at Osha and impressed! Decor is nice, chairs look nice but aren't so nice to sit in. Service was good at first, until they got busy, and then we were overlooked.
Impressed with food - spring rolls w/ peanut sauce, lovely

Pros: tasty food, ample portions, good for large crowds

Cons: service lacking, chairs uncomfortable

hard to beat Osha's food & value but everytime i'm there, i always leave frustrated at their amazingly lazy and slow staff. this place is always bustling with people yet the staff function at snails pace. a great place for take-out vs.

I love Osha Thai... the Osha Thai at Geary and Leavenworth, that is. This location, on 2nd street, is horrible. I've eaten here twice, and both times, the Pad See Eww was about half the size of the one at Geary/Leavenworth. Of course,

Pros: Nice Ambience, Good Service

Cons: Too Salty, Worst Osha Thai

I really liked the Thai Pad See You, which is a pan fried noodle dish with black soy sauce, Chinese broccoli, eggs and tofu. I went here with my boss and they seated us at one of the cafeteria style tables. The group closer to the wall was

Pros: food, value

Cons: service, noisy

Love the food and decor. Have been for lunch a half dozen times. Gave them the benefit of the doubt and thought the service staff might need time to get over a learning curve. However, the service is still bad.
I will still go for the

Pros: food, decor

Cons: service, crowded

My girlfriends and I love this place very much. They have fast service at lunch time...although sometimes we have to wait in line to be seated...it's all worth it. We also go after work hours esp. on Friday nights. Very good service and

The food is consistently good, the ambiance is fun, and there is always a lively crowd at lunch time. The Tom Yum Noodle Soup and Green Curry are great, but I would skip the Pad Thai. They don't always bring the food out toghther, so

Pros: Food, Ambiance

Cons: Service

Very fresh and well seasoned Thai food. Great variety on the menu. Service kind of sucks, the waitresses are friendly and efficient but I think the place is habititually under-staffed. Still worth a regular visit though.

I am super picky eater and I love this place. I could eat there every day. Prices are great, service is great and food is fantastic. Lunch time is very crowded so get there before 11:30 to get a table.

The food is very flavorful. I recommend the pinanpple fried rice and the thai pad spicy noodles. The ambiance is also very nice, very chic. The service though isn't that good. They could use more help, the service is slow. One waitress is

Pros: Food, Noodles, Pineapple fried rice

Cons: Slow Service

I signed up for City Search because I think this restaurant is getting improperly reviewed. If you want excellent, cheap Thai food in a setting that is WAY better than anywhere else, then go to the second street location. If you don't

Pros: Food, price, atmosphere

Cons: service

Great decor - overrated food. Awesome place for a groups as they have nice big tables and sharing is fun. However, the dining leaves a lot to be desired - like more flavor and freshness.

Pros: big tables for groups

Cons: food only fair

If you want to feel unwelcomed, ignored, and hungry visit Osha Thai #3 on 2nd Street.

The service is snobbish, slow, and uncoordinated. During my last visit, we waited 10 minutes to get our menus, waited another 10 minutes for the

Cons: rude wait staff, unorganized, over-priced

The food is really really great! But the service was a bit rude.

Pros: amazing food, great decor

Cons: rude waitresses
