Looking for some local pho and found Lao Ocean. Fresh and delicious. We had the Mee Ka Tee coconut curry soup with noodles and pork stir fry. They have the standard fare of pad Thai, drunken noodles, pho etc. No MSG. The sushi bar looked fresh as well. Prompt service, clean atmosphere, open on Sunday and Monday. Happy to find our new local favorite for healthy Asian cuisine.

Dinner here for the first time. Group of 6 and didn't have too much trouble getting everyone seated. No alcoholic beverages available. I had the Pad See Ew with crispy chicken level 3 hot. It was very good actually. Never ordered this dish before and I was pleasantly surprised. It sure did take a minute for our dishes to arrive and the waitress apologized and said that excessive take out orders was the reason. Waitress was excellent, atmosphere was fine. It's pretty basic setup. Not pictured was the fried pork belly we ordered for the table and it was okay. Bit burnt but fine. I live a good 30 minutes away so it's rare to be out here, but I wouldn't mind dining here again. I'd like to try other dishes on the menu.

So many good things to eat here and all of them are fabulous. Sushi, Thai, Lao, no matter what you choose it will be freshly made and with great flavors. They have excellent Boba and have mastered Southern Sweet Tea.

I was very pleased with my experience at Lao Ocean. I’m a picky eater so everytimg s/o and I get Thai (Laotian) food I get tom yum soup. Lao Ocean has the best tom yum I’ve ever had. I could cry just thinking about it. S/o got pineapple shrimp fried rice and it was delicious. There was enough for both of us to have leftovers. I can’t wait to go back and get the drunken noodles… and more tom yum. Not to mention, our service was wonderful. Our waitress was attentive and high spirited. Prices were extremely fair for the quantity and quality. This is my new favorite restaurant. Thank you Lao Ocean!

We are gulf breeze locals and used to come here ALOT. My wife works at Baptist hospital and they get lunch there a lot as well. I’m not sure what’s happening but this place is going down hill fast. The last 3 times have not went smooth and this last time blew it for me. To the point I didn’t even get it ordered and paid for before we had to cancel and leave. They tried to sneak in a double meet charge for a combo meal. Making the 2 meals (drunken noodle and pad Thai) $58. Mind you that is food only. No drinks or apps. I caught it as I went to pay. 3 workers come to try to fix it. They finally void it to start over so the price is right after admitting fault for trying to charge me double protein. This time they ring it up manually and instead of it showing the normal price with +$8 to add beef. They just change the base price to $24 and $26 per meal making it almost the same price just not showing the up charge. At this point I realized they were trying to pull one over on me thinking I wasn’t going to notice that the price was technically the same just typed up different. I will not pay over $50 for 2 meals with no drink or no sides nor will I support a local business that is trying to take advantage of the people that keep them in business. I own local business’ as well and I would not expect people to use my services if I was out to take advantage either.

I fear I will never be able to buy sushi from another restaurant again 🤣. The staff was super friendly, wait time was short. The sushi was the BEST I’ve had in a long time…and the mango rice? Lawd. Blew me out of the water. Everyone was kind and the food was top tier!

I wish I could eat here every day. It’s so fantastic and the fried tofu is always cooked to perfection. Most dishes can be ordered sans egg.

Noodles taste great. It was hotter or spicier than average Thai restaurant.

we got 4 drinks, the thai tea with boba came with no boba and we waited 45 minutes for our drinks. When i asked to change the thai tea for the strawberry boba it came out 15 minutes later and tastes like straight powder. The frozen boba balls taste like rubber.
Had the best time and the best food!
