Ocha Thai and Japanese cuisine

The All You Can Eat sushi on sunday is great, they use whole fish in the rolls so you can see what you ordered. no premixed minced sushi slop. the thai food is really good, very flavorful and good portions.

This is - by far -my favorite lunch spot in this area (close to my work).
The staff is super-friendly. There are regulars (I am getting to be one myself), so you know they are doing something right. The food is top notch (and I have annoyingly tight dietary preferences*), inexpensive, and because you get so much, the value is amazing.
So with a standard lunch, I get miso soup (delish!) and a lettuce with ginger/miso dressing, then a huge stir fry of choice - all barely coming in at a bill of just over $10 before tip. Even while ordering a soda. You cannot beat that in this area - even if you chose less-healthy fast food! Seriously. The best!
On this day, I added gyoza, so the final tab was a little higher than that, but still very affordable. (And those gyoza were fresh and so good!)
They have sushi and I imagine it is good. I just haven’t gone that route yet!

*In case you want more explanation:
I am type 2 diabetic and subscribe to a nutritarian diet. Nutritarian means that I choose not to eat animal products - so a vegan menu usually puts me in a good place. Ocho doesn’t necessarily advertise as vegan or vegetarian, but Japanese and Thai stir fry is always right up my alley. So ordering any of their big items while using tofu or extra veggies as my chosen protein works great. On top of that, the dishes can be different enough from each other that it doesn’t feel like I can only do one thing over and over. With T2 diabetes, i do what I can to limit high carb food, so Ocha is great because I can control that and get enough food to actually feel full. Rice comes on the side, so I can use a little so soak up some of the leftover sauce, or skip it entirely.

Ocha Thai is part of my regular rotation with Uber Eats delivery. The pad Thai, yellow curry, and udon noodles are all amazing. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable and the portions large. I will miss this spot when I leave St. Louis.

Family owned restaurant with great sushi! Everyone is so friendly and it's every bit as good as when we had sushi in Japan! I haven't tried much of the Thai dishes because I love the sushi so much, but we do love the "Crying tiger" dish.

All the food is amazing. All different types of food they have are so tasty. And the happy hour, Monday to Friday, they have the happy hour, and you can get rolls at $2 and $5.

I love coming here with my boyfriend for dinner! Service is amazing and the sushi is one of my favorites!

Wow what a place!!
This is as good as it gets for Thai food.
I will always highly recommend and will be back many times.

Great duck, curry.

Best sushi around!

Great food and family!

It had been a while since our last visit and wanted to give it another try and love it. The good was the fish tasted and looked fresh, kind staff, and convenient location. The not as good was seeing the back server area, the fruit flies, texture issue with a couple food items, the worn non-sushi menus, and the sushi menu is full of great choices, but the print quality made it tough to read. Little improvements could make a big impact on lasting impressions and overall experience.

I really want to see who did this roll!!! It was impossible to eat, I will not order any more!!!

Well I've always gotten good food ,but today the service was racialy bad, my dish was too salty
