Oh dear, I so wanted to love this restaurant. Everything could have been so right too. I love Thai, they're near my work, and the prices are about what I'm used to paying for lunch. Where did it all go wrong? Sadly, I had a really unreasonable waitress for one. Being that I'm already in a rush since I have a limited lunch hour, I really didn't appreciate the unorganized chaos.

Having just moments ago written my emphatic review of the original Osha Thai, I hang my head low in addressing its younger, more stylish sibling. This is sort of a be-careful-what-you-wish-for situation, because I can swear at some point being like, "If only an Osha Thai would open up closer to where I live…" and one day my heart skipped a beat when I saw the newly minted restaurant. What I should have asked for is not an Osha Thai, but a thai noodle house like the one I'd always loved and respected. Unlike the original, there are no sauces on the table, no free tea, no Thai pop music on the stereo. Yeah, the food is good, but the place looks so freakin' trendy, you just keep thinking, why oh why can't we just have the mirrors and booths? Why did you feel the need to get all uppity and change? Everything is fancier and more expensive. I still eat here from time to time because it's so close and the food is so good, but I fell terrible about it.

I love this restaurant. I've been to Thailand several times and after coming back from Thailand could not eat Thai food until Osha. The food is yummy and the mango sticky rice dessert is unbeatable. price is reasonable which is an added bonus. there are three osha thai locations in sf. one in the mission, soma and in the tendorloin area. i hear that there will be one opening in the embarcadero...can't wait!

Osha is a hip, mirrors-and-chrome Thai restaurant that looks more New York City than Mission district. The more upscale setting translates into the occasional modest wait to be seated. While the food may not be at its most authentic, it's definitely tasty.The pan-fried noodles and curry dishes are solid bets. A good choice for a group outing.
