Ocha Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Bakersfield

Hello!

My friends and I were traveling back from Sequoia & King's Canyon National Park and were absolutely starved. My friend Ariel found this place on our way back down to Los Angeles, and we stopped inside. It was absolutely wonderful that it was open this late (it was about 11:00 PM) when we arrived.

I ordered Pad Thai and it was so wonderfully good. I asked for about a medium spicy and even though it wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be, but they brought some spicy oil for me and that was delicious. I also really like eating Pad Thai with a peanut sauce and they brought that as well at my request and it was so good and so creamy. ;;;; My mouth is watering thinking of it.

I am so grateful that this place was open and that the food quality was so good. All of the staff present in the restaurant were very nice and cordial and accommodating of us. This was such a nice gem on the way back from a nice road trip with friends.

Highly recommend. If my buddies and I ever go back to Sequoia, I would be enthralled to make this our stop on the way back or even on...

Mom and I were out and about shopping and craved a good soup. Thai came to mind so off the hunt we went since my favorite restaurant had closed. It did not survive covid. Enter Ocha Thai Restaurant. They were the winner based on their reviews.

Service: We were immediately welcomed and were seated. No wait. Our waitress was attentive and knew her stuff. It was out first time so she was great with giving us recommendations.

Food: Menu has lots of choices! Food took a little bit, bit the food seems to be made to order, so not going to complain about that.

Mom ordered the Tum Yum soup which had good flavor and you can order it as you like it with veggies and protein. I liked that! Mom was able to take home leftovers and had the soup for lunch the next day.

I ate the yellow curry. It had the right spice level, which they also let you determine. I ate it all up. No leftovers.

Limitless white rice and soda.

Atmosphere: Overall good, but the restaurant could use a spruce up. Get someone to come in and clean the windows.

Go/NoGo: Go. Definitely recommend to...

Great food, prices, and service!

I called in an order to be picked up, fresh spring rolls, pad see ew, and drunken noodles both with combination beef and shrimp. On the phone I was told that my order would be ready in 15 minutes and I live about a stones throw away, so when I left 10 minutes later and arrived my food was hot and ready to go! Didn't interact long with the employees or owner, but they were friendly enough and got me checked out fast. I went in on a Saturday night and found the place busy but not unreasonably packed. They definitely seem to be a local hot spot for good Thai food.

The food we had was really good, and the peanut sauce that came with the spring roll was absolutely delicious. The prices were decent, the portions are good, and the produce is fresh, which makes a big difference in SE Asian cuisine. Really looking forward to trying more of their menu and definitely putting Ocha Thai Restaurant into the...
