- RRachelSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoFood was incredible. might be the best thai we’ve had in the city - beef pad see ew, eggplant, and duck curry were highlights. (Not a place for a long dinner - food comes quickly, which is great, but while staff are very nice about it, they want to get you in and out and under an hour)More infoSoothrPrice: Expensive• Thai• East Village•4.7
- DdanVIPNew York City •9 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoThe best of the best. The food, the service and the atmosphere are all 10/10! I've been a long time customer of Oceans and its always been a wonderful experience. This time we were celebrating my birthday and we were a table of 10. The manager was so kind and even after we were seated I asked if we can be moved to the private room and have a round table which he accomodated with a smile. That made our night so much better! Everyone loved the experience and I am so grateful to the management and the servers and the kitchen staff who did an incredible job making us all feel so welcomed.More infoOceans - New YorkPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• Union Square•4.8
