A Delightful Dive into Thai Flavors at Osha Thai Embarcadero As relative newcomers to this restaurant cuisine, we truly appreciated the guidance of our waiter. He offered a thoughtful selection of recommendations, catering to various taste preferences, which immediately set a welcoming tone for our meal. We ended up choosing the Spicy Basil Rice and the Pad See You, and both dishes were truly outstanding in their own right. The Spicy Basil Rice lived up to its name, offering a pleasant kick of heat that was wonderfully balanced by a medley of fantastic flavors. It was the kind of dish that keeps you coming back for another bite. In contrast, the Pad See You offered a completely different, yet equally impressive, flavor profile. Without any noticeable spice, this dish showcased a richness and depth of taste that was simply fabulous. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the overall harmony of ingredients made it a comforting and satisfying choice. Beyond the excellent recommendations, the service at Osha was attentive and friendly. The ambiance of the restaurant on the Embarcadero also added to the overall positive experience. If you're looking to explore the diverse and delicious world of Thai food, whether you're a Thai enthusiast or just starting your culinary journey, Osha on the Embarcadero is definitely a place worth visiting. Their flavorful dishes and helpful service make for a memorable dining experience. We can't wait to return and try more of their offerings!

This was our second time dining at the Blue Whale and we were able to build on the dishes we liked best from our first visit. We loved the Beijing dumplings appetizer and this time we also tried the pumpkin puffs filled with roasted duck. For entrees, we had the sweet and tangy chicken again and tried the stir fried beef. Everything was excellent.

Good to know they close some nights at 830- with a 730 res that made our meal very rushed, and they sort of kicked us out before we were done eating! the food is great though

Great service, food was authentic. Accommodating of 3 little kids. Highly recommend.
