Very gluten friendly. The only place we can find with gluten free crab rangoons. Amazing pad Thai and crab fried rice!

Diner Review №2

Thai Ocha is a Fabulous little cozy place with delicious options. Natalie, our Server, was a doll. She was very kind, attentive, and explained the different foods and recommended a few dishes, which was difficult because everything was delicious. I believe it. The Thai peanut dressing on the salad was an extra treat.

Diner Review №3

This is the best Thai food I had especially in the Denton area. We are so used to having bad experiences here that we stopped coming to this side of the town. But this place is an exception. We had the Panang curry and pineapple fried rice both with Tofu. Excellent!! Special shout out to our sweet waiter who removed the soup out of our bill last minute after it was all prepped.

Diner Review №4

The service is bad, they take too long to serve you and the food takes too long, the taste is horrible, they take too long in the kitchen, the wait is a long time, the 2 waitresses who are there forget about you, too many Uber Driving waiting for the meals, they need help in the kitchen

Diner Review №5

Just placed an order to be delivered to my hospital bed in Denton. Thanks for bringing me the Panang curry without the rice. Thanks for sending an empty damn box full of nothing. Great work running the show. Refund my money.

Diner Review №6

Food is great but they are extremely understaffed. Gentleman with the dreads just ignores take out customers assuming everyone is DoorDash.

Called a take out order, they said 30minutes… showed up an hourly later and waited another 20 until I explained I am not a driver.

They are all overwhelmed due to staffing …

Diner Review №7

The place is cute, the service was good, food tasty. It was a bit on the sweeter side for my taste. However, that could have just been what I ordered.

Authentic Thai food and delicious.

Diner Review №11

Small hole in the wall restaurant but don't underestimate the food. It was served hot fresh and in a timely manner! Large portions topped off with an even larger smile from wait staff! On point with refills and descriptions of food choices. First time experience left a great impression.

Man! I love this place. Specifically the Garlic Shrimp plate. Highly recommend this as a great spot in Denton.

Diner Review №23

So delicious!!! I haven't been in almost 25 years and we recently had an amazing lunch there! I feel like a fool for waiting so long! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but this wonderful family ran restaurant is a gem!!! We're planning on enjoying it at least once a week!!! Best Thai restaurant in the north Dallas area(Denton) by far!

Diner Review №24

We really enjoyed the food there. We got chu chee curry and chicken fried rice, and all of them were delicious! I highly recommend both. HOWEVER, they charged us for the wrong items. We didn't get hot teas. We only got hot water, and they charged us with hot teas. I thought my parents-in-law got hot tea, so I paid. I should double-check before paying, but they should know we didn't get hot teas because they gave you a hot tea with a kettle.

Diner Review №25

Went for 34th wedding anniversary and the food was amazing 🤩

Diner Review №27

Diner Review №28

Spice levels are for non-Asians, so get 5 if you want close to Asian level kick. The flavor was too sweet in our dishes and not enough spice. They don't charge for extra rice, but you're charged for a small pinch of peanuts/sprouts/etc. The portions are small for what they charge. The water taste good. Servers are nice.

Diner Review №29

It was a pleasant surprise on how good the food was. I wouldn't say 100% authentic but hey who cares. It's close enough and tasty for me.

Diner Review №30

This is a favorite to go to.
Always prompt and pleasant waiters and waitresses.
Food is plentiful and great!
Cashew Delight, Pad Woo SEN, Ice Coffee 😃👍

Diner Review №31

Ordered orange chicken with max spice (level 5), paid extra for fried rice. Chicken pieces were way too big and had to be cut to eat. Sauce was very thin and under seasoned, was more like a broth. Broccoli was undercooked and very crunchy. Fried rice looked like it probably saw a pan for minute but was basically just steamed rice. Wasn't really spicy, almost undetectable.

The service was slow too. Server was generally absent and didn't refill drinks. Brought one dish out about 10 min before the second one arrived, no apology. Had to get up and go find a different server to get out check.

I had heard that this was the best thai place in denton but that is not true at all based on my experience.

Diner Review №33

Great food. Great service...5/5

Diner Review №34

Delicious Thai food was served in this restaurant. We enjoyed a wonderful evening with friends.

Our waitress was attentive and the curry was full of flavor. 😅🥰👌

This restaurant was recommended to us by locals.

The menu includes a variety of salads, soups, rice, seafood, curry.

There is also vanilla ice cream and soda.

I recommend!🥰

Diner Review №35

My fav thai place in Denton.

Diner Review №36

Best Thai I have had in Denton.

Diner Review №37

Diner Review №38

UPDATED TO 5 STARS!
Frozen/cold crispy spring rolls are no longer an issue! They changed that a while back, but I forgot to update my review.

BEST Thai in Denton, but I've noticed they must have changed something with how they make their crispy spring rolls. Last few times, over the last couple of months, the inside is VERY cold. Like still very chilled even though the wrapper is obviously freshly fried. Makes me wonder if they have started freezing them ahead of time and so the inside doesn't get heated through. Fix that and it's back to 5 stars! :)

Diner Review №39

Food was excellent. We had the panang curry and the pad thai. Hannah was SO NICE. She was excited about the food and gave great suggestion.

Diner Review №48

It's a good place for the food, the prices aren't the best for what you get. It's a moderate value.

Diner Review №49

Hands down my favorite restaurant in Denton! My fiancé and I come here just just every week because you can’t do better in Denton. Recommend the herbal chicken fried rice, very generous portions for the price. All the servers are exceptionally kind, and have the best customer service. Particularly Hannah, but every server I’ve had has been a delight. Go down and enjoy some Thai Tea!

Diner Review №50

Great service, food is good but I didn't like the sauce on my sesame chicken it had a weird taste and was runny

Diner Review №51

Diner Review №52

Tom Kha soup Washington delicious

Diner Review №53

Excellent food

Diner Review №54

I love this place.

Diner Review №55

The food was good. The thing that ruined my first experience was service. We waited 30 minutes for our soup and 45 minutes for our food. The service was beyond terrible.

Don't let that stop you from eating there food was great.

Diner Review №56

Diner Review №57

They forgot my rice

Diner Review №58

Diner Review №59

Really good food. Servers were a bit aloof. But our group came to eat, so that was accomplished. Best meal was the duck curry.

Diner Review №60

I recently dined at Thai Ocha and was quite disappointed. The basil fried rice I ordered had no basil in it, which was surprising and very disappointing. The overall quality of the food was poor—everything lacked freshness and flavor.

For the prices they charge, I expected a much better experience. I hope they take this feedback seriously and make the necessary improvements to both their food and service.

Diner Review №61

Diner Review №62

Excellent food, just the right amount of spice, and at really good prices.

I have been consistently stopping by every week and have yet to be disappointed! The food is amazing & the ladies are always helpful. 10/10 recommend! Shout out to Natalie!

Diner Review №73

I have ordered spicy basil fried rice slice level spicy still it’s mild and my husband ordered Tom yum noodles which is listed as spicy in menu but it resulted in sweet bit disappointed if you have spice cravings doesn’t recommend this place

Diner Review №74

5 stars mainly for the food. It’s excellent. Wonton soup is the best I’ve ever had. My go to is the combination fried rice. We had the shrimp with peanut sauce- sweet & sour chicken. Fried wontons for appetizer. All great! Staff is always very friendly but usually have to wait for your food. But worth the wait. Dining area small & busy with to go orders. Little pricy.

Diner Review №75

The BBQ pork fried rice, Tom Kha soup, spring shrimp rolls, and their rangoons are their best items in my opinion, and taste amazing. Their servers are also very nice!

Diner Review №76

stopped by the place after 30 yrs ago for ลาดหน้า.
price is right at $12.95for the size of the food and the taste was good.

Diner Review №77

Diner Review №78

Im really disappointed in Thai Ocha, this used to be my boyfriend and I’d favorite place to go on weeknight dinners. However, the food is now inconsistent and low quality. I don’t know why or how these things changed but I miss the old, good quality, consistent food.

Every time my wife and I come here the food and service is excellent. You can’t go wrong with their menu.

Diner Review №101

Waiting an hour

Diner Review №102

Thank you Thai Ocha for having excellent customer service! Unfortunately there was an ordering issue with a newer employee when I placed my order causing me to receive no salmon with my salmon panang. Turns out he didn’t ring up the salmon but they still happily remade my food 10 minutes before closing. Initially I was a little upset as I thought I did order clearly and I do apologize for the steam at first but I am extremely grateful at how the owner handled me(an upset customer) and the situation. Great food as well and great customer service is why I will continue to patronize this establishment! Thanks again!❤️

Diner Review №103

We got Pineapple Curry & Hot N Spicy. Both were good. It was Valentine’s Day so they were really busy but the ambience was great.

Diner Review №108

Definitely check this place out if you’re in Denton it’s a great hole in the wall Thai food place. Food was delicious and savory all the spices and flavors came together nicely. It was understaffed during the rush time when my friend and I sat down to eat, it is a small business so it’s understandable.

It was a bit of a wait since there was really only one server taking care of everyone, I recommend going when they’re not too busy. Staff was very accommodating, I was given the wrong order and they immediately took it back to the kitchen to be fixed. Had the Panang Curry it was delicious, pretty big portions too! Atmosphere is really nice, they have two tvs there as well so that you can enjoy food and a show. Had a great time tonight thanks for serving us Thai Ocha definitely will be back for more! 😋

Also parking can get a little crazy when it’s busy it’s a small lot, drive safe when you turn in at rush hour.

Diner Review №109

Its a hole in the wall off the main strip..clean...friendly staff...and the food was very good. reasonably priced and a pretty good menu selection. We will be back to try other dishes.

Diner Review №110

Flavorful yummy thai food with good presentation and service I’ll definitely be back! I had the Tom kha soup, fresh spring roll and pad Thai with Thai tea and it was all excellent. I brought most of the pad Thai home coz I got full from the soup and roll.

Diner Review №111

Awesome taste, just make sure you check spice level before ordering if you don't like sweet.

Diner Review №112

Have been here at least twice every month from last two years. Chicken pad kee mow and herbal chicken fried rice are my all time favourites here.!

Diner Review №113

Our Fresh Roll with shrimp appetizer and my Khao Soi with chicken were excellent, delicious flavors and sauces. Unfortunately my husband's Fried Pompano was overcooked, but the garlic basil sauce was excellent. The menu is huge, we'll be back to try more items. Thanks!

Great food! Natalie offered great service. Definitely my go-to "spot"!

Diner Review №120

Dined in at Thai Ocha tonight and got the Pad kee Mow. My partner got the Pad thai and both were amazing. Our server was Natalie, she was delightful.
Will definitely be returning

Diner Review №121

Natalie and incorrect orders…

As a long term customer, I haven’t had any issues until I met Natalie. I’ve spent too much money on incorrect orders to continue giving them my business, and Natalie is the problem. You can explain your experience and plead for her to communicate to the cooks the same order that you communicate to her, but you will only receive her misplaced frustration and disrespect. If disrespect and incorrect orders are something you enjoy, ask for Natalie at Thai Ocha.

Diner Review №122

Diner Review №123

Ambience is superb so warm and cozy. As soon as you enter there is a positive vibe. They serve quality and fresh food. The portion sizes are big so be careful while ordering. Tom kha soup is delicious! Chicken sesame with rice is also good (photo). Sticky rice with egg custard is also good.
They have pleasant staff but the service is slow. I would definitely come again!

Diner Review №124

This Thai restaurant is awesome. Definitely the drunken noodles and crab ragoons. You definitely need to try it

First time visiting it and loved it!
Very welcoming personnel and very tasty food...tried the cashew vegetables lunch special and it was very nice.

Diner Review №128

They were very rude and I spent very much money for a birthday that was special and they gave me the wrong order and I specifically said to have meat like shrimp and chicken and when I got home it did not have any in it . I called them back and ask them about it and they refused to talk about it and when I tried explaining they hung up the phone on me.I called them back and they refused to give me a refund and hung up not once but twice .I am very upset about this and I do not recommend this place to anybody.

Diner Review №129

Great food and service. Cozy setting.

Diner Review №130

The place is clean and pleasant to dine in. Parking is a little tricky as you pull out/in from a main busy street. The food wasn't bad but I didn't finish and I usually destroy my Thai food. For the price I was not happy. The people were nice and fast.

Diner Review №131

Had the perfect experience here. Tam Kah soup was out of this world!! The tomatoes in it were a first, but made it almost creamier. The sesame chicken was perfection!!! Not too much breading like other places. James was an excellent server. Please come here. Worth every penny!!

Update: Kay continues to take such great care of me. Love it here. Always good food and good times here.

Diner Review №132

This is Denton’s best Thai restaurant in my opinion. They are cooking from scratch here. The flavors really shine and you can tell by the food that the chef/cooks are skilled. It’s a notch above the rest.

Diner Review №149

It’s been a while since I’ve had great Thai food like this. The staff was so nice and attentive, especially Hannah! The appetizers set high expectations and let me just say, they exceeded because this was so yummy. Can’t wait to come back. Definitely would recommend!

Diner Review №150

Fresh rolls where delicious, rice is cooked properly not in a clump like terrible places. Only reason I'm personally giving 4 stars and not 5 is purely based if my opinion of the curry. I have the curry at every Thai restaurant I goto for base line. The flavor is good here however it's more watery than I expected. Coconut milks is a but thicker than this was. That being said everything tasted great and I would eat here again.

Diner Review №151

This place is a diamond in the ruff. The food is outstanding. The prices are not that bad. This place is just off of the main road, so you kinda have to know where it's at. Don't hesitate to try this little place out!

Food was excellent. Tofu was nice and crispy on my father in laws plate. I actually had the yellow curry on a 5 heat and it was everything i wanted. Sweet coconut and jam packed with spice. Service was not bad but not worth a 5 star in my opinion. Atmosphere was a little hole-in-the-wall but hey, you know what youre getting into when you pull in the drive. Not exactly wheelchair accessible. About a 6 to 8 inch step just to get into the place and the front doors installed backwards😂

Diner Review №170

Waitress was friendly although bit slow on water refills with us being the only customer.

The kitchen was on time with appetizers to main course timing and all the food was cooked to perfection.

The dining room was clean, well kept and music not too loud.

Good lunch specials. Will have to order a 1 spice level next time as “2” has my mouth burning and nose running!

I wish Thai Ocha had a punch card for their pad thai. When I eat other restaurant’s pad thai I feel angry and sad it’s not Thai Ocha’s.
