    Salmon and Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl

    Salmon and Ahi Poke Bowl with all the goodies was amazing. Super fresh will definitely come back.

    Made to order loose leaf teas! Love that they have oat milk and almond milk alternatives. Unfortunately, their fruit teas are made with syrup + fruit preservatives. I ordered a jasmine milk tea w/ almond milk. The pearls were not sweet, but they were soft and chewy. They're also slightly smaller than the standard pearl. She made my drink in under 2 minutes!! Love fast service :)

    Vietnamese iced coffee with boba ; ).  .

    Randomly popped into this place and got a teriyaki rice bowl + vietnamese iced coffee with boba! The vietnamese iced coffee is strong the way i like it. you order from a kiosk and can specify the levels of sugar you want . it slaps hard!!!! Teriyaki bowl was filled with generous portions! The chicken was fresh. Sauce was the perfect teriyaki . you can chose which items to add on in the bowl some add one are extra $, others are free of charge . Highly recommend!!!! will be coming back for sure when i'm in Novato. Right in the shopping center so easy parking ! Staff ( Lee , the owner is super nice and welcoming ). He explained that they order the seafood whole and cut it themselves so it's fresh

    Poki bowl

    Everything you love about sushi restaurant into one bowl. I really love the amount and the variety of toppings you can get without any additional cost. The fish always tastes very fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend!

    I love their green tea boba

    We love this place! It's great to have a new boba place here in Novato! The ambiance is very cozy. Service is amazing and even the owners are very welcoming! We enjoy the taste of the boba we ordered and of course we are coming back! Highly recommended!

    Store front. I should have taken the pic while this location was filled with happy customers.

    My mom and I love this place. The husband and wife team are very friendly. It's a fun place to hang out and enjoy some light conversation while enjoying a handcrafted Boba drink. Yummy!!!

    Poke bowl with salmon and hamachi and all the mix ins and O. G. Shoyu

    So, so good! The ingredients are super fresh, and I've never had a poke bowl prepared like this before -- it's my absolute favorite. We keep coming back because everything is always delicious and consistent. The vibe is great, and the owner and staff are amazing -- so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot!

    House-made lemonade and honeydew green milk tea with boba.

    This is my first time trying the boba here. I love the house-made lemonade; it's fresh and refreshing. The service is 10/10. It's definitely recommended, and I'll come back to try the poke bowl.

Instead, you simply place your order either online, or through the self-service kiosk located out front. There is a window next to the kiosk where they'll place your drink when ready. Ordered a Mango Supreme with Boba and really enjoyed the fresh mango taste, along with the nice and chewy boba. There's not a lot of boba options in San Rafael. But I'm glad Oddcha is one of them. Unbeknownst to me at the time, parking is available in a lot under the freeway on 4th street, behind Oddcha. I instead found street parking 3 blocks away and simply walked over.

We ordered the Coconut Bomb and the Thai Twister, and both drinks were excellent. They weren't overly sweet and had a really refreshing flavor. The boba also tasted fresh, which made the drinks even better. Ordering was easy using their kiosk system. One thing to note is that parking is located behind the shop. It was a bit confusing at first since the store is on a very busy road, but once you find the back parking area, it's much more convenient. Overall, a great stop for refreshing drinks--I'd definitely come back!

The lady working there (an older woman) was just the sweetest. She greeted us with a big smile, welcomed us in, and even thanked us for stopping by. It really made the visit feel extra personal. We tried a few drinks: the Mango Fresh Milk with boba was light, refreshing, and not overly sweet which is perfect for a hot day. The Iced Matcha with boba was smooth and flavorful; I loved that it actually tasted like real matcha. I did ask for less ice, which oddly came with an extra 85 cent charge, but honestly, it was still worth it. My daughter got the Kuma Blue Cloud Raspberry, which was creamy, fun looking, and caffeine free! It's definitely a nice spot to grab a good drink and relax for a bit. The only downside is that they don't have a public restroom, which was a little inconvenient. Still, we'll definitely be back for more drinks and that friendly service!
