Rude staff make you wait outside for a booth when they have open booths overpriced & overhyped. Don’t go if you’re trying to eat peacefully.

This used to be our Thai food spot since the early 2000’s and we didn’t mind the long drive after we moved. But, the last couple of times we’ve been here the food has been disappointing.
The most recent time the sea food soup tasted and smelled so fishy it grossed me out. The Thai iced tea was watery and lacked flavor. The waitress a lady with a bob cut was very rude and aggressive. A male worker was taking his break sleeping on a chair in front of the restrooms, very sad to see and uncomfortable for us as we had to carefully walked passed in and out of the restroom to avoid bumping into him. And they charged $15 extra on our bill, when we asked about it the waitress explained, if I understood correctly as her English wasn’t too clear, it is a California service fee charged on top of the regular tax. An estimated 15% up charge as I added it up. Unfair to customers to have to pay this on top of a tip and still get bad service and food. Not worth my gas or time to drive here anymore

Disappointing Experience
I recently dined at ocha classic and unfortunately, it was far from a pleasant experience. The first thing that struck me was the soup I ordered; it was overwhelmingly salty and lacked any real flavor. It was as if the chef had forgotten to balance the seasoning, leaving me with a bowl of brine that was nearly inedible.
To make matters worse, the overall service did not help to elevate our meal. The staff seemed indifferent and lacked the warmth that one would hope for when dining out. A simple smile or greeting would have gone a long way in making the experience feel more welcoming, but instead, I felt like I was just another customer to rush through.
Additionally, I noticed that the bowl my soup was served in was chipped, raising concerns about safety and hygiene. It’s disheartening to see such neglect for customers’ well-being, as a chipped bowl can pose a risk while eating.
Overall, my experience at ocha classic was disappointing due to the unappetizing food, lackluster service, and concerns about safety. I hope they can address these issues, as I would love to see them improve. For now, I cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for a satisfying dining experience.

This place use to be one of my favorite Thai restaurants. I haven’t been here in years, today (1/1/2024) was the first time in over 10 years since I’ve been to Ocha. Probably never going back again either. When I tell you the customer service was horrible, I am not lying. The older Asian lady with a bob haircut had the absolute worst attitude. She got our order wrong and got mad when we told the server. She gave us dirty looks and stared the whole time we ate our food until we left. We couldn’t enjoy our food because every time we turned and looked up the woman was giving my family and I dirty looks. The food quality was okay, use to be delicious back 10 years ago. The customer service absolutely SUCKS. Never coming back here.

Great food at a great price. This is one of my family’s favorite spots. Spicy sea food soup, orange chicken, pad seh un and their fried rice are the best. You can’t have it all though, customer service is horrible , worst than horrible almost unbearable and there is usually a long wait. Also the place is falling apart, but the food is Soo good!!!

A Disappointing Disaster at Ocha Classic on Sunset Boulevard
Ocha Classic, nestled on the bustling strip of Sunset Boulevard, promises an authentic dining experience but delivers a masterclass in frustration and disappointment. From the moment you approach this cramped, cash-only establishment, it’s clear that convenience and customer satisfaction are not on the menu.
First, the wait times are nothing short of egregious. On a recent Thursday evening, I endured a 45-minute wait for a table for Seven, despite the restaurant appearing half-empty through its smudged windows.
The interior is a claustrophobic nightmare. Tables are crammed so tightly together that navigating to your seat feels like an obstacle course. There’s barely room to breathe, let alone enjoy a meal in comfort. Worse, Ocha Classic is shockingly inaccessible. The entrance has a steep step with no ramp, and the narrow aisles make it impossible for anyone with mobility challenges to maneuver. This blatant disregard for handicap compliance is not just inconvenient—it’s inexcusable in 2025.
The menu, while promising an array of traditional dishes, is a parade of overpriced mediocrity. Each dish felt like a calculated insult, with prices that suggest fine dining but portions that scream stinginess. The flavors, when they finally arrived, were unremarkable at best—soggy tempura, bland rice, and fish that tasted like it had seen better days.
Adding to the frustration, the serving ware was in deplorable condition. My plate had a visible chip on the rim, and the teacup I was given had a hairline crack that leaked onto the table. When I pointed this out, the server shrugged and offered no replacement. It’s hard to feel valued as a customer when the restaurant can’t even maintain basic standards of cleanliness and care.
Perhaps the most infuriating aspect of Ocha Classic is its cash-only policy, a relic of the past that feels like a deliberate middle finger to modern diners. In an era of digital payments, forcing customers to scramble for cash—especially with no ATM on-site—is absurdly inconvenient. The faded sign announcing this policy at the counter felt like a final slap in the face after an already dismal experience.
Ocha Classic seems to bank on its Sunset Boulevard address to draw in unsuspecting customers, but don’t be fooled. The long waits, suffocating interior, overpriced and undersized portions, lack of accessibility, damaged dishware, and cash-only nonsense make this restaurant a hard pass. Save your money and your patience for somewhere that actually cares about its patrons.

Worse customer service ever… the lady in the picture has no clue in how to do customer service.. she is so rude and treats everyone as if she was telling her little brothers what to do being the boss of them… absolute terrible after we were already seated at the table she comes and tells us “get out I have to fix the table” really yelling us to get out?… And she didn’t mean get up she literally told us to get out and wait outside of the restaurant . then while eating she goes and tells us she’s going to charge us for 1 plastic spoon because my baby daughter dropped her spoon once. No shame on her face… evwn thought we were a family of 12 spending over $170.00 they treat is this way… wow. absolute redicoulos.. please no one go here unless you want to feel like ur begging for food.. these people really have some serous issues

It used to be one of my favorite places to eat Thai food for years, but not anymore. The last few times we’ve been there, the seafood soup has mostly fish. It only comes with 1 shrimp, but this time, I complained, and they added it 2 more shrimps, so the experience was not pleasant. Also, I don’t know if the food has too much sodium or MSG, but we feel so thirsty every time we eat at this place. On the weekends, you have to wait in line outside the place because it gets too crowded. I have found better places to eat Thai food than the ocha restaurants.
