The staff at Ocha were friendly and accommodating and I was seated immediately upon entry. The atmosphere is very much that of a comforting Izakaya with small party seating available. The crab rangoon is surprisingly flavorful and the chef is accommodating with the curry dishes here, offering tailored spice levels for those looking to dip their toes into a casual approachable heat to chili-head level heat, their Katsu and Gyoza are also super flavorful. Ocha is a great way to spend your evening if you're looking for Thai comfort dishes or casual Japanese staples.

A hidden gem for sure. I need tonasd this to a more often visitation. Bith Japanese and Thai cuisine. A nice list of appetizers is also available. Each time I have picked something different with great results. The curry can be made as spicy as you like and all the vegetables are always fresh. I always end up taking some home as the portions are nice sized
