La comida es horrible! No entiendo porque hay tanta gente si es comida insípida, seca sin sabor y lo peor es la actitud de los q t atienden, muy mal servicio, Como si t regalaran la comida.

I haven’t been here in a very long time. I think the last time I was here was before COVID. The other side of the restaurant is being remodeled, so I went to the right side of the restaurant and it was very crowded for a Thursday night. Prices have gone up a lot. $8 for a large Thai tea but it’s the best that I’ve tasted with the right amount of tea, crème, and sugar. I will say that the food is kind of oily this time around. All the customers were Latinos, they must love Thai food! It can be difficult to find parking.

Diner Review №13

Diner Review №24

I’m from Georgia I went there yesterday 1/20/2025 to get some food I was missing two chow meins I send my niece to get them because I have to come back to Georgia they only gave her one I called and I told them I was going to put a bad review they didn’t care. I had all the receipts to show them and they also didn’t care about that. I was in LA for so many years and they even knew me there and my children but now I think they don’t care about customers service. M.T

Diner Review №45

Este lugar tiene muy mal servicio la comida tiene mal sabor yo no recomiendo este lugar pensé que por que había tantas personas que espere una hora allí pensé que había buena comida pero la verdad salí muy decepcionado de allí la mesera me atendió muy mal como tiene tantos clientes que la verdad no les importa si se les va los clientes o no yo he comido en lugares

Diner Review №46

Yo no tengo nada en contra del restaurante pero hay que hablar lo que es: la comida no es muy buena como para que tuviéramos qué esperar una hora para entrar(según nosotros por tanta gente era bueno) pero no lo es! Entras y esperan que cuando te sientes ya sepas qué vas a pedir, nos atendió una chinita de muy mala gana! Aparte comes con estrés porque están viendo quien se levanta ya, para entrar a las demás personas, no lo vale! PDT. Si quieren un lugar super rico para comer que vale la pena en todos los sentidos vayan a couwami en la 319 s azusa ave, super recomendado!

Diner Review №47

Food is good and delicious, All was fine until some lady tried to force to Tip on check out. 🤷 Be prepared to tip forcefully

Diner Review №49

Been coming here my whole life.. I'm sure my kids as well. I see everyone & every group come in for that sea food soup. The best. & my favorite is the shrimp fried chowmwein. Every thing else I've ordered is great as welll.

Diner Review №50

Our food was not good this trip to Ocha. The seafood soup with extra fish is the best thing at Ocha.

Diner Review №51

The food is VERY GOOD. Sometimes the rice can be a little dry. They are renovating the other half of the restaurant so there is limited seating for now. The service was very quick. They tend to rush you so they can seat the next customers. Extra fish, served on a small plate, is $6. Extra shrimp, is about $1.08 each shrimp for the seafood soup.

Diner Review №52

So many people. Great food. I will come back for other food.

Diner Review №53

Exelente la comida, lo unico mal, es el servicio, casi desde que te sientas , ya casi te estan correteando para que desocupes la mesa, 🤦🏻‍♂️

Diner Review №54

La cola de espera vale la pena.

Diner Review №55

Very very very very Good food. Honestly my favorite place. Been coming here for a long time and wow it never ever gets old. I honestly don't understand critics saying it's bad. Mostly likely they are Karen's but honestly this place is almost perfect. Amazing food, amazing staff. Would dine here for my last meal

Diner Review №56

La comida muy rica

Diner Review №57

It was packed as always, the wait was about 15 min for 7 of us on a Saturday but only a very small portion of the restaurant is open the rest is shut down, we googled the code and it's for vermin. Oh well..

Diner Review №58

Delicious

Diner Review №59

Food was great as always but server was rude when it came time for payment demanding that I leave a tip because of the amount of food we ordered let alone it wasn't much 2 soups and like three sides for 4 and when I was writing down the tip she said u better leave tip so I decided not too because of the way she was talking to us bit other than that the food was great

🚩Just take your business to another place!
based on the reviews I noticed there seems to be a normal
of things with waiters not accepting fault.

I also had my share of bad customer service
these people don't know how to accept a mistake
Even when you point it out. lady who didn't speak english took our order and brought wrong item and got upset and even had a whole meeting and tried to make me pay for something I didn't order.

I told them I didn't mind paying it the issue is they don't know how to accept an error on their end and when you point it out
they make and point the finger at the customers.

AVOID COMING HERE AND RUINING YOUR EVENING..
and go somewhere else.

Diner Review №93

🚩🚩🚩🚩BAD BUSINESS REVIEW!!

The lack of respect from the servers at Ocha Thai is truly disappointing. I thought I was the only one experiencing this, but after reading several reviews, it’s clear that this is a common issue. It’s frustrating when the staff makes a mistake and then tries to blame the customer. The servers, particularly the ladies who take the orders, seem to have a hard time understanding the requests, which leads to errors.

I had the same problem when they brought me the wrong item and then tried to charge me for it, even after I politely asked for the correct dish. Mistakes happen, but the lack of accountability and poor attitude from the staff is unacceptable, especially when you're paying $70 or more for a meal.

The food isn’t the issue, but the service absolutely is. No one deserves to be treated like this at a place with these prices.

Ocha classic 1 under construction or renovations it has moved next door to the smaller ocha location. There are no signs to direct where to go but they have an employee tell you what door to walk into. It's more crowded then usual. Food is kind of the same the soup has lost it's touch a little most likely it's a new cook.

Really bad service!!😡. They don’t speak fully English, don’t even pay attention when you speaking to them or what you asked for. Today we came for lunch during a rush hour and when you talk to them they don’t even respond, bad manner, and with an attitude. We have been coming to this please for years but lately the service is getting worse and worse, very disappointing!!!!!

The server could be more attentive

Diner Review №133

My bf and I and friends been going to this place for 15 years. I always order the same items on the menu. One day the server brought me the wrong soup. I did not realize it was not what I ordered until I found out it was chicken in my mouth.I informed the server the order was wrong. Instead of apologizing she gave me attitude. So I left the restaurant and about a month later I went back to eat with my bf. Still to this day the server thinks I messed up on the order previously. I went to 3rd St and Normandie all the workers know me and what I always order. I don't really tip when service fee is applied to bill.

Diner Review №137

Ive been coming to this restaurant for over 20 yrs food is not the same...very disappoint it, the soup is missing flavor. No ginger and lemon grass its just bland,they need to bring back the real thai flavor to their food.. More expensive less food and bad flavor. I would mind the price if the food was as good as before.

**한국인이라면 고수 빼달라고 하는 게 좋을 듯**
No cilantro 외치세요!
+절대 인원수보다 메뉴를 하나 더 시키지 마세요!!!! 양이 너무 많아.. 먹다가 배 터질 뻔했습니다.

뭔 게살볶음밥 양이 성인남자 주먹 네 개 놓은 것보다 많아서 기절할 뻔..ㅎ

팟타이는 땅콩분태와 같이 나오는데, 달콤짭짤한 맛이 일품입니다. 쿰쿰한 향이 나기도 합니다. 하지만 라임 뿌려먹으면 넘나 맛있는 것!
*사람에 따라 짜다고 느낄 수 있음.

밥 종류는 그렇게 짜지 않아서 두 개 같이 시키면 좋을 것 같아요. 게살볶음밥에 게살이 아주 많이 들어갑니다! 같이 나오는 오이 중간중간 먹어도 좋아요.

아주 친절하고 양 많고 맛좋은 식당입니다!
메뉴가 110가지가 넘어서 고르긴 힘들 거예요.

This used to be a good place to go eat. Now, you wait in line to be seated, and once you get a table, they rush you to order, eat, and push you out, literally. From the time you sit, order, and get your food, it is about 5-6 minutes. (For 5 people) On top, they are now adding a$10 service fee. For them It's just a transaction. Get in, eat, pay, and get out. Yet the lines are still long.
