O'Cha Thai in Waltham Forest

Food not as normal. Not that good today.

I order from here regularly and have for the last four years I’ve lived in (Walthamstow) for seven years and absolutely love this place 95% of the time it’s 10 out of 10 the odd time it’s not that’s a rarity. Family run and been there since the 80s I think. Supporting Business, this is the one to support.

Really good food. Pad Thai and massaman curry both delicious.

Went in for an impromptu dinner, 6 of us. I was a bit disappointed after reading reviews. Tables were all empty, so just us, but they are extremely busy with takeaway orders, which seem to get more attention than those seated within the premises. Small piece of chicken satay was still raw. Which we ordered for starters. I like to give small businesses business so to speak but I really don't think I will be going back.

The best Thai takeaway I’ve had in London! The food is amazing!

Underwhelming. I'm no authority but I think this is basically chinese food.

Delicious and fresh flavours! The quack quack curry was amazing, so glad to have found a nice local place to get good Thai food. It arrived quick too, and meals were decent portions.

We love O’Cha, grateful for it on Billet Road. Food is absolutely delicious and all really tasty. A real hidden gem - Proper Thai food.

First off, the curry’s are delicious and consistent every single time. What’s not consistent are Uber and Deliveroo. Our order was short a bag (Uber mistake) and O’Cha sent their own staff to fulfill the rest of order. Incredible service. Delicious food. Eat here.

it was nice that it was early as we were hungry

Very yummy, quick and friendly, will definitely order from them again.

The food was yummy and the driver is very friendly and efficient.

Wow!!!! Amazing food!!! Will definitely be ordering again!

I'd give zero, but there's option for it. Absolutely ridiculous.

Second time ordering from here and it's been brilliant both times. Food is really nice and arrives piping hot.

Ordered a takeaway via Uber Eats. Awful. Couldn't eat any of it. Everything had a slightly strange after taste and sweet tasting. Nowhere near authentic tasting. Absolutely would not recommend.

Exceptional food at a great price. Will definitely be ordering again soon.

Order arrived late. Delivery guy was very apologetic tho, it was due to bad traffic. Food was delicious, will order again.

the food is always delicious, best Thai in the area

Great Thai. Definitely will order again and lovely delivery man 5/5

Nice and hot food, lamb Massaman was with tender chunks and the chicken Panaeng was enjoyable to the pallette. Always look forward to the Thai crackers!! 😋 Have ordered from here before, look forward in ordering again in the future. 👍😁

King prawn panang was too salty and chicken pad thai was okayish and overall a bit overpriced for the real deal

I have been ordering from O'Cha Thai for years and the food quality is consistently good!!

Great food as always. Delivery driver as always is also lovely and friendly!

My favourite Thai! Always tasty, hit and the delivery man is lovely!

Great restaurant, have been easting here for over a decade same people running it for all this time.

Great food and great hospitality. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal out with my family. We ordered a variety of food and was not disappointed. We travelled over an hour to get here and would do so again! Highly recommended 5 ⭐️

Certainly is a hidden gem. The flavours was bursting in my mouth. The waiter was very attentive. The portion size was big and will leave you feeling really full. I will be back :)

Order from here a lot, the food's always amazing!

Thai takeaway. Price and quality and good for what you get.

Delicious food - the reason it's 4 stars is far too much red onion in the Thai salad.

Amazing thai food. friendly stuff.

The food is amazing and they are an A***** restaurant. The food was perfect, I recommend to everyone.

Excellent food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere.

Amazing food. Really good service! Really friendly staff and helpful. Definitely recommend

I've loved in this area for years and never knew this place was here. It's five minutes from our front door. It's tiny and back from the road, we thought it was takeaway only but there are a handful of tables and the food is fantastic and not expensive. We've only had the green and yellow curries so far, but I can see this place becoming a regular treat.

Quality of food always a cut above.

Was more than 2 hours 20 mins from ordering to delivery. Order should not be accepted if restaurant too busy to deliver in a reasonable time. Would like some of cost refunded.

Not only was it late, but i got pad thai prawn instead of chicken. I cant eat prawns.

We had a lovely evening sitting in, sharing the vegetarian set menu. The staff were absolutely great too.

it was busy but food was nice and nice staff

App said food delivered, waited. Nothing. Tried to use Apto contact resturant. Couldn't. Found number and called resturant (food was already 20 minutes late) and told to wait another 15 minutes. Food came after 13 minutes, missing a dish. Gave us free prawn crackers, which burnt.

Main curries are good. Appetisers are very poor value

Didn’t deliver at specified time but too early. Unfortunately the food wasn’t great. Poor cuts of meat. The sauces didn’t taste authentic very oily and unfortunately we ended up throwing away £50 worth of mains as it was inedible. And both of us felt sick after too so might have gotten a mild case of food poisoning. We tried to call the restaurant but they were already closed so no way of rectifying the order!

Very disappointed. The reviews here are misleading. Orders not delivered, marked at delivered, then we argued and they sent food but it was incredibly bland, with very very cheap cuts of meat. The yum neua is supposed to be sirloin meat. This was horrible and chewy leathery rubbish! Actually abandoned the whole meal with how bad it was.

Delicious food , good price and fast delivery.

Good tasty food and price. The Best Thai food in the area.

Really good Thai food, recommend the fish cakes, pork dumplings, red curry and Tom Yum, although everything I've tried has been great.

Absolutely delicious red and green curries, super-quick service and friendly delivery guy. Thank you!

Arrived hot! Very nice and tasty. Will order again!

Have never had a bad meal from O'Cha Thai yet. All their food is delicious which is why we keep going back. Best Thai in Walthamstow!

Fabulous food as always - the calamari is to die for!

A cut above the usual takeaway, really well cooked food.

We ordered at 20.50 & was given a latest delivery time of 21.45. The food didn't arrive until 22.05. Although the quality of the food was good, it needed re-heating. Also one of the dishes was not as we ordered.

Food, as always was delicious. Arrived hot. If you like Thai food, I definitely recommend!!

Always great fresh foods well cooked delivered fast

Best Thai we’ve ever found on Just Eat. It was perfectly priced and the food quality was exceptional. The Thai fishcakes particularly were incredible. The Thai red curry was spicy but not hot hot, with very fresh vegetables and generous amounts of lovely thin cut beef steak. Loved it all.

Just finished eating had to give 5 stars. Great Thai food

Waited far too long, not kept informed. Had to ring restaurant several times

Very good food. Arrived piping hot. The tempura prawns were amazing. I wish the curry was slightly more spicy. Will definitely revisit!

Love love love ❤️ authentic food, fresh, many different options from usual and lovely staff and delivery - loved

I ordered takeaway at 17:56 via Just Eat and the estimate delivery was 18:25-18:45. I received a text at 18:56 mess saying my order is on its way. 19:25 I called the restaurant and the lady said the driver is on the way and it should come very soon. 19:47 I called again and the lady said it should come in 5 mins. I was on the call for 5 mins and nothing came. I think it’s not ok to charge for hot food after such long wait and I asked for a refund. Absolutely disappointed. It could be an issue with Just Eat but going forward, as I said on the first call, please do not make an assumption and speak to the driver or do something else. If you cannot track the order/cannot contact the delivery person, I would rather knowing that you don’t know how long it takes. Managing expectation is important.

Always good food from O'Cha. And that's why we keep ordering from them. :)

Great food, great people, portions are big. Highly recommend !!!

Food took 1 hour and 35 minutes to arrive and they tried to charge me an extra £3 on the door for delivery fee.. Will not order from here again!

Exceptional service and great food. Attentive waitress who made it their goal to make us feel welcomed and appreciated.

Very authentic Thai cuisine, I would recommend to anyone who fancy's proper Thai food

we ordered from O'Cha and it was one of the best deliveries I've had in London. the food was so so fresh and delicious and tasted like authentic Thai food in my opinion. we had the fried rice, pad thai and the thai red curry. the thai red curry was my favourite but it all tasted so good! the delivery was perfectly on time and the deliveryman was very nice and friendly. we will definitely order again!!

Delicious, fresh food. Duck curry and pad Thai particular favourites

I had the papaya salad and pad Thai. Probably the most authentic you can get in UK. Felt like I was in Bangkok with the sweltering heat and traffic outside and started speaking Thai accidently. Friendly chef who likes to chat. Fantastic secret spot.

Service and food here is GREAT! Atmosphere is lovely and chilled. Came here with my family and really enjoyed the experience. Food is also halal. Sultana is my favourite.

Excellent menu Now closed Tuesday's

Great food and excellent value.

Friendly service, made to feel welcome the moment you walk through the door. Their dishes are freshly cooked. You can make adjustments to the chef to make it more or less spicy

A little restaurant with great food. Ventilation is a bit of f an issue. But it won't stop me e from revisiting.

Absolutely delicious! A must try !

Really nice people and tasty food. Will be returning again no doubt.

Ordered, collected and consumed a very nice meal from here today. No complaints whatsoever. The staff were also freindly & polite when I collected my meal. Will be back next week to maybe try something different.

Authentic taste, looks like family run, they were very friendly. We dined in and enjoyed the food a lot.

One of our favourite takeaway places in the area. Their food is always good

Always enjoy the food from O'Cha Thai and their delivery is fast.

Won’t order from here again until they fix their 1 star hygiene rating from the last two inspections

One of the best Thai food I've had in London! Their Massaman curry is so delicious!

One of the worst take aways I have ever had. 1st not thai despite the name. Bad Chinese food is more accurate. 2nd every dish was the same watery soya sauce. Just with beef or prawn being the difference. All food seemed boiled not cooked. Dont waste your money. Awful.

Fantastic little Thai restaurant Got a takeaway tonight Food was full of flavour and lovely. The staff were very helpful and welcoming Highly recommend

Great, authentic Thai food. Fresh ingredients seen being prepared in the kitchen.

The food here is consistently fantastic. I really do wish this place the best. I personally always order some egg fried rice with chicken in black bean sauce and it is WONDERFUL! Delivery isn't too bad, sometimes a little long- but that's only ever due to high demand! Definitely worth a visit.

food hygiene ratings gotta be linked to lack of space, but seriously I have been coming here for 10 years off n on. Best dishes are the red, yellow, panang, mussaman curries and Som Tam, papaya salad. Enjoy!

One of the worst thai food ive had in my life. The food was not worth the amount i paid. The food had no flavour and tasted like diet food (bland not salt, no flavour no nothing). I went Phuket 2 months ago and have an idea how the food would taste but the food here was nothing like it. They are very busy with delivery all the time so we had to wait more than 15 mins to order our food. They definitively prioritise delivery more than customers eating in. Food was not worth the wait. Never going back

Best Thai I've ever tasted!!! Food delivered hot, fresh and so tasty!! Cannot believe I didnt know about this little gem of a restaurant, will most definitely be ordering again!!

They tried to deliver 60mins after we were told it was with the driver - over 2.5hrs after the 35-50min estimated order...and this happened twice. We’ve always liked O’cha - but it’s seems they’re gotten too many customers and are now failing. It’s not the lateness that really gets to me (I know they’re small) but the out right lies - why tell us it’s out for delivery if they’ve not even started cooking it? (And after we’ve already waited 90mins!) Having pre-paid through justeat, you we didn’t want to order elsewhere or really want to cook something that won’t be eaten. They need to reassess how they cater for customers! Their apology was also inadequate - like waiting 2.5hrs was a standard expectation! I would have rated them 4star a few years ago - couldn’t order again from them

Tasty and quite authentic. Spicy!

The Pad Thai was shocking - over cooked bland sweet noodles with no peanuts and only 3 prawns. Worst I’ve eaten in the UK. Fish soup stick was nice but seafood tasted off.

Nice and chill place, oriental good food there

I have ordered King prawns pad thai noodle twice before and loved it, however this time there were only 3 pieces of prawns in the dish, which is disappointing. I wasn't happy to pay £7.50 for it.

Great little takeaway, almost hidden away. I’ve driven by this so many times and not noticed it. The place is tiny - a couple of tables only. You might get lucky and find them free if you want to eat in. We found a couple of elderly Thai ladies preparing the food on the tables, but they would have vacated the tables if we’d been eating in. The food was absolutely fresh, well cooked and delicious. Very reasonably priced. Delivery charge very reasonable if you order a takeaway. Staff very pleasant and friendly. All in all, a great little local gem.

Es ist dort sehr sauber und schmackhaft.Ein kleines, feines Restaurant. Hier ist der Kunde König. Kann ich uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

By far the best Thai in E17, the only other options are Thai-nese places which are so sub par and wouldn’t even classify as Thai. Will definitely be returning again

We just had a lovely meal - fresh, tasty, and plenty of it too. Especially good Pad Thai vegetable. Friendly and good service. Will be returning.

The best Thai food yummy yummy 😍😍😍i ‘m orders every day
