It's ok................. Menu is small, many Thai dishes missing. Not really kids friendly as when walking in my kid received a Shhhhhhh from the waiter. Atmosphere quiet would recommend it only if you need to fulfill your cravings on curry or coconut.

Intimate Thai eatery showcases the fresh flavors of Bangkok.. The Scene
Tucked away in the Carmel Commons Shopping Center, this gem of an restaurant would be easy to overlook if it weren't for its stellar reputation. The understated décor--dim lighting, muted colors, soft background music--means the food takes center stage. Service is polished, prompt and courteous.

The Food
Bangkok Ocha prepares some of the freshest Thai food in Charlotte--all beautifully presented, with a mixture of intense colors, textures and flavors. Plump tulip dumplings, filled with fresh ground shrimp, chicken, and water chestnuts, are enhanced by a zesty ginger soy sauce. A chef's seafood specialty, chu chee, features delicately fried jumbo shrimps and scallops in a spicy coconut-curry sauce. Another, ped gra pow, sliced, boneless duck served with colorful vegetables, is enhanced by a sweet basil and garlic-infused brown sauce. Pandan custard--made with sweet, sticky rice steeped in coconut milk and paired with a nutty flavored custard--ends the meal on a sweet note.

Best Thai Food in Charlotte. Delicious appetizers, great ginger and basil dishes. The food is fresh. We have been going a couple of times a month for years. Our favorite "I could eat there all the time" restaurant in Charlotte.

Lunch is delicious. Prices at lunch are incredibly inexpensive and dinner is very reasonable as well.

Can you say "more, please"?. By far the best Thai food in Charlotte and I would venture to think one of the tops east of the Mississippi! The shrimp and scallops in their signature peanut sauce is to die for!

FANTASTIC!!!. I have been searching for flavorful Thai in Charlotte and Bangkok Ocha hits one out of the park. I have been craving it since the first morsel. I have to try not to go there everyday!!! During lunch you can get soup, eggroll, generous meal portion and sweet tea for $7. I have been unable to equate this deal with the same degree of tastefulness anywhere!

User review by belles100. The food was excellent, the best I have had in Charlotte. The prices are reasonable and the staff is prompt and courteous. Definitely order the Custard Sticky rice for dessert. It is nowhere to be found on the menu so make sure you ask for it!!!

excellent cuisine. Enjoyed the food at lunch and was impressed with the staff--they balanced being attentive and letting us talk without interuption. Very good bargain for the lunch menu and the quality of the food!

Lunch is great. I haven't gone for dinner but the lunch menu is very reasonable, including unsweet tea and daily soup (my fave is served on Tuesdays and Saturdays). The food is incredible...I've never had better pud-thai. I usually take my seven-year old son with me and we have mother-son lunch on Saturdays and he loves it too. Great service and good food make this place a permanent place for our special time!
