Thai Ocean — Restaurant in Seattle

WATCH OUT for FUNGUS food and 18% gratuity!! Disgusting! Would never go back again!!

We were 3 people in total and ordered one Soup, one Pad Thai, one Green Curry and one Vegetarian Spring Roll with two Thai Ice teas.

First of all, On the menu, it clearly said that there will be 8 pieces of spring rolls and we were given only 6!! We let it go to not make a big deal out of it.

Second, this place doesn’t give rice with their meals and especially who would eat curry without any rice?! So they charged separately for each rice. Be upfront about it if you are not going to serve rice instead of charging separately.

Third, what was absolutely unacceptable was the fact that they charged an additional 18% gratuity on the total bill even though we were only 3 people in total!!!!

Last, but not the least, the tofu in the green curry tasted more rubbery so they probably used old tofu and I am sure of it now since towards the end I found a piece of tofu that had FUNGUS!! I am disgusted that I even ate the curry. Like do you not even check what you are serving and you serve things with fungus?!! Seriously?!

I love Thai food and have been to multiple Thai restaurants but this place has been the worst experience!! Very expensive than other Thai places I have ever eaten at for terrible low quality food and average services. Never going...

First time in and didn't receive a very warm or friendly welcome. Service was like it was a bother, brought my dish, set at end of table, and ran off. I wanted to order a drink, but couldn't get attention. She went in the back, never came back to check on me or ask if I needed anything. After a while I turned around and I saw her behind me in the back of the dining room either watching TV or on her phone. Will update my review if I try in future and service improves. Ordered Garlic Shrimp, $13.95 + tax + tip! 7 large Prawns, good spice and flavor, unfortunately, veggies seemed like an afterthought, not stir fried with the shrimp and sauce. *Rice is NOT included, but they'll ask which type of rice you want (white/brown) as if it is included. Ask first and order if you really want rice as it costs more! Table wasn't clean, which is concerning given we're in a Pandemic. Place isn't that great for dine in, seems better for take out. Dark and uncomfortable dining space, I could barely see my food. Maybe it was different pre-COVID? Small parking lot. Bus stops close and walkable, close...

The staff was friendly, kind, and attentive throughout our visit. There weren’t many people, which made the atmosphere quiet and relaxed. The music played softly in the background, adding to the peaceful vibe.

However, there were some issues with the restrooms. The men’s restroom had no soap, and the women’s restroom was filled with dried roses, creating an unusual and somewhat strange scent.

Now, let’s talk about the food. Unfortunately, this is where the positives end. The only enjoyable dish was the vermicelli noodles. We ordered chicken (item #43), but it didn’t meet our expectations. Both soups and the salad we tried were very disappointing, and I wouldn’t recommend them at all.

Another issue was with the tableware and water—both had a noticeable odor, which was quite off-putting. If you plan to eat here, I’d suggest ordering a cola. At least the cola from the can tasted good.

In conclusion, I’m giving two stars, mainly because of the friendly staff and their warm smiles. However, the kitchen needs improvement if the restaurant hopes to see...
