Odd One Out Tea Koreatown — Restaurant in Los Angeles

We visited Odd One Out Tea in Koreatown and had such a great experience overall!

Service - 4/5 From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and offered samples. The team explained each drink with a lot of enthusiasm and knowledge, and we were able to try three different teas all of them were delicious! Personally, I enjoyed the storytelling behind each sample, but some of my friends felt it was a bit more attention than they were expecting and wished they had more time to browse the menu on their own. For those who prefer a quieter ordering experience, a friendly tip: just let them know you'd like a moment to explore the menu ~ they're very accommodating.

Drinks - 5/5 Every drink we ordered was fantastic! We went with 50% sweetness, which let us really enjoy the depth and quality of the tea without it being overpowering. The balance between the tea's natural bitterness and the sweetness kept us coming back for more. You can taste that they use high quality tea leaves, so I'd recommend not going too high on sweetness to fully appreciate the flavors.

Ambience - 5/5 The space has a simple, minimalist design and is spotless. There's a bench for waiting, a small shelf with merch, and a clean counter for ordering. The layout is straightforward, but it works perfectly! Everything feels intentional, uncluttered, and very well-maintained.

Overall, Odd One Out Tea is a must-visit for anyone who loves quality tea and clean, welcoming spaces. I'll...

I used to go to Sawtelle location but ktown location is nothing like the original. I’ve been to ktown location 6 times and they messed up 3 times. The boba tastes different today, I can taste burnt flavor from the boba. The tea tasted different today too. There were 3 people working in empty store and this inconsistency is not even acceptable even if the store is busy. I chose to come here for something I like even though it costs $10 when I can get boba with milk tea for...

Best boba I’ve ever had. I got the yuzu apple shiso seasonal drink with silk jelly. The drink was very harmonious and hit the spot for a warm summer day. I liked silk jelly’s texture—feels like a different execution than what I’m used to (maybe chewier than the average silk jelly). I also appreciated how the servers asked if I wanted to try a sample before...
