This unpretentious Thai eatery with a homey vibe also offers a selection of Chinese classics.
Helpful staff offering generous portions of great food that is prepared to your liking. I always start at medium spicy, which turned out to be perfect for me. The fish was incredibly tasty and alone is enough to bring us back. The pork and beef are quite flavorful and vegetables fresh cooked.
Expensive salty food! I like going around places and trying new stuff out! Holy this place is awful! Rude servers, saltiest food ive ever tasted had to buy water and drinks after leaving, 45 bucks for two plates which were ocean levels of salt is wild haha if you check out my profile i always give good reviews but i had to give this one a bad one. Bad service with bad food is not a good mix.
I love ❤️ Ocha Restaurants... I've eaten in almost all of them... except this one, 1st time coming here... I brought my son and all of the woman of the Family.... And it was great 👍 👌 👍 👌 the food was on point Specially the Thai Salad OMG the Service was Excellent very polite waiters and waitresses... I'll be coming back soon...
A great local spot that I have been frequenting for 15 + years. Service is great, staff is attentive, and the food comes out quickly. Prices are reasonable. Try the seafood soup with steamed rice and pad see ew with American broccoli.
Parking can be a pain, and sometimes there aren't open spaces available.
Great food like always just prices keep going up.
Seafood soup and the green curry are my favorite. Very nice owners!

The spicy seafood soup is AMAZING. Been coming to these locations (7 or 8) for over 20 years.
Desert was amazing and service was first class
Spicy seafood soup and pad see eew chicken is very good
I love the spicy seafood soup.
Very good food
THE BEST!
Always a good place to take my little girl
Some food was not so hot
Why can’t you call them? The phone number I disconnected and hasn’t been updated ? Do you want to prevent people from ordering on the phone ?? This is not the way you run business!
Siempre han mantienen ese servicio pero sigue siendo un lugar para salir a disfrutar una comida tailandesa
VERY IMPORTANT FIRST READ IT BEFORE BUY HERE...👈 The Thai food is one of our favorite in Sn. Fernando Valley....but one think VERY IMPORTANT 👈...
NEVER BUT NEVER!!!!!!....PAY WITH DEBIT OR WORST WITH CREDIT CARD👈......
and Google knows than I don't talk 💩...
I don't need it but let me explain it...in short words
my wife has a credit card than never use for the high interest only emergencies for sure👈....one day she got a phone call from the credit card company saying that she was China or Japan I don't remember exactly the country but an Asian country, saying that she using that card like never before...buying refrigerator, TVs, Dishwashers, Sofas,Computers & and a bunch of thinks ....and she said Noooooo hell Nooooooo,please cancel that card,thanks God she pay an extra fees with credit card like protection in this cases...they tell my wife if we wanna start a sue again them for this but we said No...
I hope that this bad history help someone.

It use to be good before. It's starting to lose its luster. There are definitely better places to go than here.
Restaurante muy bueno para ir en familia, la comida muy rica he ido por años a ese lugar. Buen servicio 👍
Siempre disfrutando la comida Thilandesa
.
La comida muy sabrosa
I went here for Father's Day
2024 and I have to say the
Place was packed, the atmosphere was very pleasant, and the food we ordered was just ok except for the seafood soup.the food here used to be great here
But now it's just ok. If I come back it will be for the soup only
Always enjoy dine in at this place!!
The food was ok but they charge 10$ for the service fee to serve the food
Im from Koreatown and just moved to the valley man i was used to the Original Ochas on Vermont and Im happy they have one here in the valley Nothing Like Ochas
They never answer the phone!
I remember when this place had a good vibe. The soup is good. That’s it. Don’t call they won’t answer no matter how busy or slow they are. Don’t expect any type of service other than the check and a couple of old hard candy. If you want good soup and don’t mind a brain aneurysm in the process stop by
BEST PAD SEE EW I'VE EVER HAD!!
Good food just took a little long
Food is really good. Parking is awful but worth it for the food.
Waited half an hour for them not to get my order right need better servers.
Food is good, just be careful. I've found hair in my food before. This place needs to be better
They served us cold raw chicken, this is unacceptable. The chicken was still frozen in the middle. I will not be eating here again, do not eat here.
Seafood is soup is delicious along with their chili oil. Thai iced tea was tasty.
Update: don't like that sometimes they accept credit cards and other days cash only.
Es buena la comida y todo , lo que no me parece que aveces te cobran cash , solo cash y aveces puede pagar con tarjeta mas los domingos porque ese dia que no sirve la maquina para cobrar tarjeta .
They have become so cheap, I was charged almost $18 for a lot of fried rice and a few pieces of meat. Not worth the price. For 16 years this place was my favorite in every way. Now for me is not worth coming here. I really do no recommend it.
Mandatory tip included in your bill for bad service. Never again.
Food is good but waiter need to be more experienced with speaking the English language
A bit over priced I’m my opinion
Food was ok. Unfortunately, poor portions.Seàfood soup price gone up.
Great food.
Lo más rico yo venga aki desde que tengo 5 ańos y ahora traigo a mis hijos the best Thai restaurant ❤️
La comida está muy buena. Y el servicio que dan muy bueno gracias.

Great place
Great food, great service
I have come here for more than 20 years and the taste never changes
10/10 i would travel miles for this place
Sabor increíble, buena mezcla de sabores y excelente atención.
Yummy
Siento que perdi mi tiempo y dinero.
La comida que pedí estaba casi quemada y nunca se acerco nadie para poder comunicarselo y pedir un cambio o algo.
Soy fan de la comida Tailandesa, asi que solo quiero decir, no pierdan su tiempo con este lugar.
I would give 0 stars if I could! Absolutely poor customer service! I asked for a booth because I had a party of more than 4 people and was denied due to overcapacity! I looked around and saw that some booths had 2 or less people sitting . I am appalled by their seating arrangements! Masseur literally threw our plates on the table without proper and neat arrangements of utensils and plates. Slow food service, over 5 mins for each plate to arrive, in addition food was not hot at all! I felt unwanted! They’re charging a mandatory 10% service fee for dine in orders, basically tipping for HORRIBLE customer service! What a joke!
I’m disappointed. I’ve been coming here for years!!! This time I didn’t like their soup. So bummed.
Due to power outages currently power was flickering but other than that. Great experience
Buena comida
Took my wifey to eat for purd 6 years together 3 years marriage
N earlier Valentine day
I love that food. It's delicious. I waited 30 minutes or more but I like it.
Food is good, service not friendly and they add 10% tip on top of your food (not to be confused with 9.5% LA TAX), on top of that they still ask for a tip on the receipt when you handle your card…. Shame less
Best food ever happy I found this place In the valley since I thought it was only in Los Angeles 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
El caldo siete mares es por el que vamos siempre
Price are getting high, but worth it
After getting over the gruesome parking situation, i was promptly sat and attended to. The service here is very fast and everything we had was excellent. The seafood soup was very flavorful and light, as was the fried rice. Even the chow mein didnt make me feel overly full. The sauces complemented the food well, and the iced coffee had a unique but nice flavor. The food my friend and i ordered was enough to rat plenty and take lots home. I definitely look forward to coming back
Great food
Nice fresh made food and wonderful customer service…
This place will rip you off if your not careful, they will take advantage of you.
Ocha has been a favorite for over 30 years. Chow mein chicken, pork pad Thai, seafood soup and chicken curry & bamboo shoot are my favorites. The Nordhoff location has plenty of parking. The Vermont location is very limited in parking and often have long wait lines. But the service is always friendly. Great place to bring the whole family because while the food is great the prices are also very affordable. It's true that it's probably not authentically pleasing to the Thai natives but the food is delicious 😋 in my humble but correct opinion.
I've been coming to this restaurant practically all my life. I'm 23 now and the servers already know me and my family and our usual order. They've always been kind and attentive and personable and the food is delicious. Definitely a major part of my childhood growing up and for years it was, and still is, my favorite restaurant.
I cannot say how much I love this place and the staff, even if parking is a little hectic and inflation has raised prices. In my eyes, totally worth it.
Food is always hot and tasty, the seafood soup with a side of white rice always being the favorite go-to order. Just wish they could fix the phone situation to make takeout a little easier 😜
Terrible customer service
Nunca atienden el teléfono para órdenes para que ponente un número de teléfono si no atienden
No contestan el telefono y queria hacer una orden para llevar ,tuve q esperar 20 minutos por la comida.
This place is a total scam ! Now charging and automatic 10 percent service fee ! On top of an expected tip ! Not even taxes are 10 percent ! The service was horrible . This is the second try I give this place and it will be my last ! The food is ok not great . Overall all the employees are very rude !!! Would not recommend this place at all ! Your better off going to Panda Express then these people stealing your money !!!!
Muy rico
Chinese always works so hard for all thanks 😊
Best seafood soup! Highly recommend. All other menu items are great. My go-to order is the seafood soup, side of white rice, and chicken pad thai.
Watch out for extra charges..... 10%...
No explanation
🤤
One of the best Ocha Thai Classic restaurants! The staff is great even with my fussy kids around. Food is delicious as always, very traditional . We live out of state and always stop here no matter what. Same menu and flavor as Ocha on Sunset. Must try seafood soup with white rice, shrimp glass noodles, thai iced tea. Everything here is delicious
Excelente atención al cliente
Food is good ,have been coming here for a long time since the first one on 8th and Vermont .here they use to charge up front for a while but it was during the pandemic just went yesterday and they don’t charge upfront anymore . They do have a 10 % service charge I spoke to the manager and told him that as to why I was paying extra for giving them my business . I explained that I would rather live the extra 10% on tip and he waived the service fee. The restaurant has a tip pool that is shared by all the employees . I have not found a better Thai restaurant in the valley since 1980.I will continue to support them until I find a better one .
Love their soups
Ce tardan mucho, para atender un poco más caro.
The food is good
Helpful staff offering generous portions of great food that is prepared to your liking. I always start at medium spicy, which turned out to be perfect for me. The fish was incredibly tasty and alone is enough to bring us back. The pork and beef are quite flavorful and vegetables fresh cooked.
No coordination too many people to eat inside. The order came separately no too many choice for drinks
The food was alright. We’ve had better. Our fried rice tasted sweet which was disappointing.the seafood soup barely had any seafood it was more soup than anything. And they automatically charge you like 9 something just for eating there. That’s close to the price for another plate so not worth it. It doesn’t matter if there’s 2 or 10 of you.
Favorite thai place!
Comida china muy sabrosa x años muy sabrosa😋😋👍😎
No le dan la propina a los meseros la dueña la agarra
I am giving this restaurant a one star because the waiters have an attitude towards their customers and overall lack in service. Perhaps is the fact that they charge you before you get your food which allows them to give you bad service.
Pedí para llevar , pero si atienden bien.
The spicy sea soup food smelled horrible 🤢 and prices are too high for the quality of the food.
Food was horrible. $70 dollars for the wrong food and the food is gross and old. Enjoy your report to the food department cuz my food was clearly hours old and the wrong order. I will be making sure to tell my friends since we used to come here as tradition. I guess I will be needing a new Thai restaurant. It was so dry and barely any sauce on the chicken. Soup had a horrible rotten fishy smell to it. I'm very disappointed in a place I once loved so much.
Best Thai food in San Fernando been going to this place since they open and in LA location before then, food is always freshly made and prices are reasonable really recommend.
Food is good. Sometimes they don't come back to your table after u pay...
Muy limpio y buena atención la comida súper buena deliciosa .🍲☕️.
Finding parking is a hassle on a busy day but I've been enjoying the food for a while.
Great place to eat with family and friends. Great service. The food is very good.
Too cold. They require to pay upfront and it feels uncomfortable so much pressure. No music either
They are not in compliance with the business hours posted on Google and their place, they kick people out before closing time or simply say it's close before the closing time.
Disgusting food, terrible service they are so rude, our sup don't have any flavor and they don't want change that, I will never back 😤
New note ....yes this place has gone down hill since reopening to inside seating it's totally packed all the time and they must have a new cook bc the food is nowhere the same ...sad I'm writing this standing outside of this rest ....calling looking unside at owners not answering the phone period, for 30 min!! It's packed inside and not trying brawl to find which line is the takeout line ....going for Mexican next door ...The food is excellent. The staff is excellent the portions , excellent
The prices , not so excellent but if you can afford it , go everyday !
You've heard the restaurant
Muy buena atención, llegar muy limpio la comida exquisita y el archivo de los empleados excelentes y más que todo sin vacuna no hay servicio.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have been going to Ocha since I was a little kid and I'm now 37. Amazing food yes service is not always the best but the food is bomb....
