Casual spot with a vast menu of Thai & Chinese favorites, from wonton soup to shrimp with curry.
The place is lively and busy until closing time.
Food was delivered quickly, and the portions were generous.
We asked for the coconut mushroom shrimp soup, and for the Chinese sausage and pork fried rice.
🍚 The meat in the rice was flavourful, and the rice itself had some hints of the lard used to cook it, giving it depth.
🍲 The soup was citric (thanks to the lemongrass) and thin. The shrimp had been cooked outside of the soup, and had its own distinctive flavor.
Food was not tasty ir good at all. The chaomein felt like it was a simple instant noodles. Never going back. Service was good but that's it.
Second time I buy on this location during the pandemic hoping to get somewhat of a great service since one can't eat here. But for the second time that I buy the seafood soup it is so salty but so salty I'm just wondering why? Do they not taste before its done? Also why is the kung pao, and teriyaki so watery? I really hope this changes, I but I will not come back to this location.
Food is cold food is bad chicken chomein is bad ..never coming back
This restaurant is always busy and we finally decided to give it a try. Everything from start to finish was great, however when it came to one item on the menu we were a bit disappointed. The pineapple in the pineapple fried rice was not fresh and after they mentioned it came from a can you can still tell that even that one was not fresh at all. Manager was nice enough to ask if we wanted a new one w/o pineapple to go which we kindly declined. Poor taste on that but besides that everything else was good.
This food is so good 😊 and the taste 😋

Best Thai food ever!!! My 30 mins drive is so worth it.
I’ve been going to this place since I could remember. I love everything about it! 1,00,000 recommended!
This restaurant is not worth it. I ordered a seafood soup and they just gave me three shrimp & the rest was just water! The beef chow mean was all salty!
This is not the VIM Thai restaurant, it may have the name of Vim but it is not it. Go to Vim in Hollywood. This Ocha the food doesn't come close to the real Vim. Updated the name and stop fooling people. This is Ocha not Vim.
Always the BEST

My go to Thai spot
My family and husband's family have had dinner in this restaurant since the 80's. Our favorite plates are hot chicken coconut soup, spicy beef bamboo #34, chicken chow main, and veggie egg rolls. Everything is made once you order fresh and hot.
Worst Thailand restaurant rude waitresses don't know why latino people going to the place if they treated you with no respect
Just came in today, and found an ant on our soup! We got it replaced, next soup had a roach on it! Horrible customer service.
Would never eat here again!
Pricey - $14 for a basic bowl of soup. Parking on the street. Stereotypical Asian “hospitality”. No frills interior/ambiance.
Good food, great portions, very busy on weekends.
The morning is the best time to visit
This Restaurant recently is being fined/lawsuit due to not playing there employees over $800,000 in wages, if i were you i wouldn’t support this place.
Poor flavor, very little meat, over priced, and over crowded.
Been coming here in the early 80’s. No air conditioning back then in the summer
The lines of people waiting to get into order
Unbelievable
Such good food in a comfortable low key restaurant
Now
I live near Hollywood Blvd for a lunch
Even this place is always busy for lunch
It will never be fancy
But
They give you
Good portions and flavorTown
Food was great but I'm not sure if it was the owner of the restaurant or an employee that treated us very badly. She tried to rush us to order and we didn't even have menus yet. We tried to order some of the sea food soups and she said we needed to put all the orders together and started cursing us because I told her we didn't even have a menu.
De.k.hablan.?????????
If you want real Thai food, go to Chuan Chim Thai Cafe instead. This place had no idea what prik nam pla was when I requested it and the food was very sugary. The sauces and curries are nauseatingly sweet. If you want sugar-drenched, Americanized, non-spicy Thai, you’ll definitely like this place.
Muy delicioso 7 mares bueno todo está sabroso es rica toda la comida la recomiendo
Servicio moderado, los bus-boys o bussers (personal latino por lo general) son los que realmente hacen el trabajo pesado, son eficientes en todo el sentido de la palabra...los y las meseras solo toman las órdenes y luego se quedan estáticos como muñequitos de adorno.
A CUALQUIERA QUE LEA ESTE MENSAJE, LE SUGIERO QUE PARTE DE LA PROPINA SE LA DEN AL BUSSER O BUS-BOY, PORQUE SE LO TIENEN BIEN MERECIDO.
Great hospitality
Me encanta la comida
Excelente
The 7Mares soup is bussin.
Their food is always bomb. Love that they are following COVID mandates
Chao min con camarones 🤤 😋 delicioso
Had the fish soup with the burning flames and white rice, pork wontons my favorite! And the spicy garlic shrimp - the best! Just that was enough for 3 adults.
Buen producto
Bad service plus its crazy to ask for a drink without ice its more expensive. Check the bill they were charging for something I didnt ask for
Mucha gente
Muy buen lujar
No es igual que antes el servicio no es bueno tardan mucho en traer la comida a la mesa y te cobran al momento de ordenar la comida pero la comida sigue estando bien
Place is bomb!!!! And man the Orange chicken order is alot!!!!
La comida tiene un sabor exquisito
desde hace años he asistido a este restaurant y habia estado generalmente bien , la ultima vez ya no me gusto debido a que llegas y tienes que pagar por adelantado y siento como , que quieren que comas rapido y desalojes el lugar , por eso la calificacion.
For years I have attended this restaurant and it had been generally good, the last time I no longer liked it because you arrive and you have to pay in advance and I feel like, they want you to eat quickly and leave the place, that's why the rating.
我去过这家餐厅很多年了,总体来说还不错,最后一次我不喜欢它了,因为你来了,你必须提前付款,我觉得他们希望你快点吃完然后离开这个地方,这就是评分的原因
Muy rica la comida y una exelente atencion
Mal agarre. Orange chiken y solo era arina cubriendo el pollo viejo que paresia echo de dias y nada de jugo de naranja
I've been coming to this place for over 20 years, and literally order the same ting, from when I was a child and a family tradition for my parents and us, now it is my tradition with my wife and kids. I am just glad my wife likes it as much as I do, makes for the 2 hour drive worth it. Lol
Muy buena comida pero mal servicio. Casi casi te corren
👍👍👍👍
This Thailand restaurant is the best soup I have ever tasted!
The food here is always great and fast so anyone who's hungry should really consider coming here.
Mucha comida
Esta bien todo la com uy da lo único que pedí una ensalada de camarones si chile y me le pusieron Chile demasiado pero por lo demás todo bien
Regularmente compro Chao min y sopa 7 mares. Te lo sirven abundante.
Delicioso
Estaba muy duro el arroz especial no tenía mucho sabor.
Ok
Deliciously Crispy Orange chicken i feel like they need to clean the meat before they cook it
Very delicious. Thank you guy,
Thai Ocha is great. Prices have not changed so much over the years, portion size is great for sharing, and food quality is Amazing.
Me encanta la comida solo que hay que esperar para entrar pero está bien la comida está deliciosa
Muy rica sopa

Awesome, I've been coming for more than 20 yrs and it's still as delicious 😋thanks
Nasty bad service..
Buen service
No son amables
I've hated this place since I was a kid but from my parents(forced to join them) and friends(we were celebrating something) that have told me about this place is it's pretty good, the food is great, customer service is decent.
Yummy food
Buen Servicio

I ordered the 7 mares soup and the chicken Pad Thai. Just in case they ask you if you want the white rice its not free
Love this place. Their food. And their thai tea.
Bomb
Very delicious food. Been going there for around 25.
I used to come here with my family and I recently came back and Omg what a change and not a good one. My dad ordered rice with shrimp and they gave us 3 shrimps, he had to find the shrimp in the rice because they literally just put 3 little shrimps. I ordered a shrimp with garlic and behold only 5 shrimps and the garlic was burnt and the most bitter thing I have ever tasted. The only good thing from that experience was the coconut chicken soup that was bomb, but even it came with limited Chicken. Wouldn't come back at all, so expensive and no quality or quantity.
Nasty . Even the chinos who work there say nothing is good there
Los para yevar
Excelent customer service and good food 👌💯
Servicio eficiente.
No me gustó la comida
Very good neighborhood gem! Huge # of menu items so everyone can find something they like. Vegetarian + vegan options galore with tofu substitution for meat available for the asking. Excellent soups, seafoods, noodle dishes and oh, well, pretty much everything is done perfectly tasty. Generous portions. Reasonable prices. Parking in back off alley. Take out. Open all day. Nice staff. Busy!
Delicious food, and a nice place to eat with family and friends.
Deliciosa comida 7 mares mas q recomendado
Great food
Even though I love their food, their service really sucks. They need a whole new staff.
Nice place good service
good
I usually get the Orange Chicken or Chicken curry, but I recently stopped eating land animals because of health reasons. So...sadly I couldn't get my beloved Orange chicken. Instead I got the curry shrimp with green beans and crab fried rice. It was sooooo delicious. Loved loved loved the green beans. To be honest I don't really care for the appetizer options, but everything else on the menu is WONDERFUL!!! If you have never tried this place you MUST dine here, you will be glad you did.
The food is delicious, the siete mares soup is fantastic
Very delicious
Good shrimp soup
Good place to eat .
Great food and service. Thai tea is delicious!
