I've eaten at Ocha Classic 1 more than a few times not only at this location on Vermont. At their other two other locations. I have yet to encounter an issue with either the food or the service. Plus, I take my orders to go. Everyone’s experience is unique and individualized. Besides, someone will always find something to complain about or find unsatisfying.

As someone who visits family in LA often from New York, Ocha is one of the spots I can never miss! Their 7 Seafood Soup is incredible, rich, flavorful, and comforting, and their egg rolls are always delicious. The staff are attentive, and while the wait time can be on the longer side, they manage seating efficiently. Parking is located behind the building, and the valet attendants are always helpful and quick. I love coming back here every time I’m in LA for a warm, satisfying bowl of soup. Definitely recommend!

PAD-SEE-EW LA LA! Ocha Classic has to have some of the most tasty Pad see ew ever, the rice noodles are perfect and the tofu is crispy with a hint of fried egg inside! I also recommend getting a tasty Thai iced tea and the glass noodles with a side of beef, they're scrumptious. The establishment has a classic ambiance and is right in the heart of LA so you get to see the hustle and bustle charm of the city as you eat! The restaurant itself is actually pretty laid back, the clientele were easygoing and I'm so glad there wasn't any screaming kids, it's totally my style! I wish I could say the staff are the same, however they're quite blunt, bitter and not very attentive. I walk in and the first thing I see is a notice of a ten percent charge which is applied to final bill just for sitting in-house! Um no! Good thing the food tasted good!

Still the best. Been coming here with my family since I was still in the womb. I love this place, my wife loves this place, and it will always be family tradition to come here at least once a month if possible. In my opinion, this place has the best shrimp fried rice, the best seafood soup, the best chow mein, and the best Thai tea. No place can replace Ocha classic, and especially this location. Catch me in line, say hi. I'm always here.

Very quick service. Super spacious, and amazing food. They have a lot of cushioned booths. The hot soup bowl with the fire was good and entertaining. The Thai iced tea was very sweet. Gendered restroom with no steps.
