Ocha Japanese & Thai Restaurant: Authentic Asian Flavours at the Railway Hotel

Tucked inside Cessnock's historic Railway Hotel, Ocha Japanese & Thai Restaurant has become a local favourite for anyone craving quality Asian food without leaving town. As the sister venue to Oishii Japanese & Thai Restaurant, Ocha brings the same focus on fresh, authentic cooking to the heart of the Hunter Valley.

The name "Ocha" means tea in Japanese, and the restaurant delivers precisely what it promises—genuine Japanese and Thai flavours made by chefs who know what they're doing. From classic Japanese rice bowls to Thai curries packed with flavour, the menu covers all the favourites.

What makes Ocha work is the kitchen's ability to handle both cuisines with skill and finesse. The chefs bring out the best in each dish, whether it's the clean, simple tastes of Japanese cooking or the bold, spicy kick of Thai food. Fresh ingredients are a priority, and you can taste the difference.

The menu offers plenty of variety. If you're after sushi and sashimi, they've got you covered. More in the mood for a rich Thai curry or stir-fry? They do those well, too. Each dish is made to order with care, providing you with a genuine taste of what these cuisines are all about. The vibe at Ocha is relaxed and welcoming—perfect for a casual lunch, dinner with mates, or a family meal out. The staff are friendly and attentive, making sure you're looked after without any fuss. Open seven days a week for lunch (11am to 2:30pm) and dinner (5pm to 9pm), Ocha makes it easy to grab good Asian food whenever the craving hits. Can't stay? No worries—takeaway is available so you can enjoy it at home.

Whether you're a regular at Asian restaurants or just eager to try something new, Ocha Japanese & Thai Restaurant is a solid choice that delivers high-quality food in a comfortable setting.
