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!
