Odd One Out Tea Koreatown

Kammie Swartz Edited 4 months ago

Odd One Out Tea in Koreatown is a fun spot to check out if you're in the mood for drinks and desserts. We tried a few different drinks and a selection of desserts, and everything was well-made and enjoyable. The drinks were refreshing and nicely balanced, and the desserts paired really well—sweet without being overwhelming. It’s a great place to hang out, try a variety of items, and enjoy something a little different. Overall, a solid choice for a casual dessert and drink stop in K-Town.

First time having Odd One Out back in Nov'25! Late review! This was so good! Jasmine Green Oolong with Jasmine Silk Boba ($1): $6.50 TW 23' Golden Buddha Silk Boba $9 Staff was also very friendly. They were patient with me asking a lot of questions. We also didn't specify we needed oat milk in one of the drinks, though did mention lactose intolerance...and when we received drinks and let them know of the milk issue, they were quick to apologize (which also not their fault) and quickly remade the drink. Having Odd One Out prompted us to try the original location in Taiwan in December. Huge fan of the quality of the green tea and the jasmine silk boba! Parking here can be tough, but I believe it is validated in the plaza! (if not free) Even at a premium cost, definitely worth it! Definitely a must stop whenever I'm in LA!

We got it with the rice mochi, I got the 50% sweetness for the iconic tea one but it was still but unsweetened for me. I would recommend with boba. Otherwise this was good and I would try again but I honestly wasn’t gagged! The mochi at 3 cat is better in my opinion.

It was our first visit & we had the best experience. Adrian offered us samples & we were able to try the seasonal drink (Taro mochi red oolong milk tea), the champion milk tea, & the yuzu osmanthus drink. I usually don't like taro but it paired so well with red oolong. We ordered the red oolong with mochi, the champion milk tea with brown sugar boba, the taro mochi red oolong with almond milk (highly recommend to add a little nuttiness!), & the yuzu osmanthus with jasmine silk boba. 50% sweet is recommended, & it was the perfect amount for all the drinks we tried. Only downside is only 1 topping allowed per drink. The boba was gummy fresh, the mochi was the right mix of gummy & sweet to compliment the boldness of the red oolong. There were 2 benches for seating, but the mall has more seating on the main floor. They validate parking, which gives you 2 hours free if you park in the mall. Can't wait to come back & try more of the menu!

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 she
