Amazing food when it’s done right. Tough to consistently get good service and meals. I live up the street so love it, but it’s a gamble. Def upsetting when I call at 8:44 and they can’t make a dish because they close at 9.

Great spice and flavor, nice service, reasonable prices, and I could not quite finish the plate even though it was so good I really tried ;-) The robot service is IDK, awesome but strange.

This is the best place in Columbia for thai. I got the spicy beef at level 2 of 4 in heat. So much flavor, so many spices, everything was fresh. The robot is amusing! Portion size was perfect. Love the decorations and they have a wall for photos. Friendly staff. I can't wait to go back and try all the curry!

The Pad Thai was basically a soup. I'm so sad bc I was really looking forward to some Pad Thai. Tasted like sweet n sour soup.

The taste is very good, but the portion is so small that I felt upset that I was gonna starve after spending $14 on a handful of noodles… I know the inflation has been crazy but I know extra rice noodles cost almost nothing

Good sauce,excellent noodles,spicy glow in the mouth.The dish has a good mouth feel but is in need of more acid to balance the oil. Noodles are bouncy; could use a bit more beef especially for a 14 dollar dish.And now a few negatives:Lemon(??!!) instead of lime,NO basil,and why must we Middle Americans suffer through yet ANOTHER meat and broccoli Americanised meal!I now regret tipping 20 percent BEFORE my meal.Upon conversing with the chef,it seems that the Thai Basil is micro-minced and stirred into the dish. Maybe that's what those 3 tiny bits of leaf are.Overall,perhaps a meal fit for a Drunkard.No sauces were offered or seen.The adventure continues...

Wife and I ordered Thai steamed dumplings, "papaya salad with shrimp", and pad thai with beef. Dumplings were good, nice and meaty, but with an uninspired sauce. Papaya salad was fresh and tasty, quite nice, but, alas, no shrimp. There were two asterisks after this menu entry, but no explanation. Apparently they meant, "sorry, sucker, what makes you think there would be shrimp?" The well intentioned but uninformed attendant had no clue. We were sorry we ordered the pad thai. It was drenched in a soggy overly-sweet sauce, no fresh veggies, and the beef was actually disgusting. Dry, old, and nasty, it resembled shoe leather and tasted not much better. There is no excuse for serving this kind of inferior product. If you can't cook it fresh, keep it off the menu. My advice to potential diners: save yourself the heartache of eating at Ocha. The tab after tax and tip was $45, which I would be happy to spend on a good meal. This wasn't.

Oh my GOD!!!!! It is so awesome ?. If you aren't heat averse, order your dish at level 2 or more. Your nose will be running, you may get a bit warm.... It is the best tasting burn ? ? ?.
