Cafe Oasis - Frostburg, Maryland

We’re always on the lookout for local gems, so during our trip to Maryland, we decided to check out a place we’d searched in the area. As soon as we walked in, we were surprised by how spacious the restaurant was. There was so much room, and it even had a spot where kids could play, or you could host a big event if you wanted to.

The owner and his family were so welcoming, and we could tell they really cared about their customers. They made us feel comfortable.

Now, the food – wow. We started with the shrimp and crab fried rice (it is a real crab) and the chicken panang curry, and each bite was packed with flavor. The spices were just perfect, and their chili garlic sauce? Hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. I even thought the shrimp coconut was the fried rice at first, so now I’m really looking forward to trying that next time.

It was such a great find, and we’re so glad we stopped by!

This place is AMAZING. Sarah is an absolute food genius. Everything I've ever eaten here has been fantastic. They understand food allergies and sensitivities- GLUTEN FREE DUMPLINGS. need I say more?! The Pho is incredible. The Chive cakes are probably my most favorite food ever. And the Thai Iced tea is the best I've ever had. Don't sleep on this beast. It's a little pricy for the portion sizes, but makes up for it in flavor & quality ingredients!!

Went here today with two of my children. The food was wonderful, the drinks were wonderful. The staff is very personable and kind. I cannot wait for my mother to try the summer rolls.

This is the kind of excellent ethnic food you would not expect to find in a small college town Bonus for excellent teas!. The owner was friendly and hee daughter is adorable. Bonus is they have the biggest fish tank I have seen in a non fine dining restaurant.

Excellent food! The flavors were top notch and so authentic. Our favorite was Chicken Satay Stick and Chicken Pad Thai! The owner is really sweet and friendly. Definitely coming back!

Café Oasis gives you a few choices of Asian cuisines with plenty of hot and iced drinks, $0.99/each apps. on a stick, and even some family portions of selected items to make this spot a must try!
It doesn't hurt that their flavor combinations are delicious.
This place is something much different than the usual that we're used to around here, and that's wonderful!!

If you haven't been here, you need to visit ASAP. Great vibes, great people, and AMAZING food all the way around! Café Oasis has the BEST food you can get around this area. My girlfriend and I have found our new favorite restaurant. This restaurant is seriously a gem!!! Couldn't be any happier with our experience! 😁

Dripping with POTENTIAL!

Taste of food - EXCELLENT!

Presentation/portions - Uneven. I was very surprised. I ordered Loco Moco (as someone who is familiar with Hawaii, this is a must if I see it on a menu anywhere it 'shouldn't be!') and it was tiny compared to the other dishes we ordered. In some ways it seemed like an afterthought compared to everything else that came out.

The bao's were FANTASTIC (see pic). Chicken satay skewers were so tasty!

Again, the taste of everything was great!

But the service . . . . oh boy. I think the young man who was working there was trying this best but it just didn't seem like he had any training (plus he was solo so he was trying to juggle everyone by himself). Took the order wrong . . . we had to prompt for silverware and napkins . . . never made rounds or checked on my table . . . took a long time to enter information on the computer . . . had to be shown items in the menu (leading me to believe he doesn't know the menu that well?) . . .

I don't mind having to wait for food and some of the other reviews mentioned how good it was and that you may have to wait. But this time it WAS a long wait. I think ordering ahead is the way to go.

The great thing is that all this can be fixed/improved upon/evolved to really have this shop flex its muscle.

Arguably the best hidden spot about this place is the kids section in the back - HUGE with so many things to keep the little one's busy. It's neat to see a restaurant have a dedicated section for kids and away enough from the main area to hopefully not distract too much. Loved this space!

I will give this place another chance . . . but it broke my heart to write this and to experience this first-hand.
