    Good ktown vegan/vegetarian restaurant that opened up in 2022. Small team of people who is passionate about their food and service. Small dine-in restaurant in a plaza offering free parking. As a non-vegetarian, food was mysterious, unique and good. it was a little pricy for the portion and taste but it does support a small business. Our food was late so they gave us a free appetizer. We had a good, spicy pizza and creamy pasta. Got dessert to-go. One thing that was a little off-putting was the ordering system. You have to order via a QR code and close the tab which can get tedious to do during a date or dinner. There’s definitely a pro but I got chased down for not closing the tab because I didn’t know. It was a different experience but staff was nice. They hold events and accommodate bigger parties. Good place to try for ktown and out of town vegetarians.

    Really amazing food made by some wonderful people. I loved everything about my meal here. The service from beginning to end was flawless and the space was so nice. They sent out an order of complimentary fried olives to open which were to die for. The ricotta they used was walnut based and I would have had no idea it wasn’t dairy. I got the mushroom and lentil burger for my main course. Perfect plant based patty and sandwich in general. I was so happy with it. Just a really awesome dinner and beautiful experience.

    Well now, that's some friendly staff. Ordered the oyster mushroom fried "chicken" and chili soy sausage pizza what an amazing meal! The mushrooms were crispy and well seasoned, the dipping sauce was great. The pizza was incredible. The sauce was thick and flavorful and the crust was perfectly crusty.

    Located in Koreatown, Olivia pays homage to some Korean flavors while also having some unique delicacies. All the food was really good, despite feeling more on the unhealthy side. Had the fried olives, fried “chicken”, and the Anderson pizza and finished with the olive cake and chocolate tart. Our waiter was so nice and accommodating. Would definitely come back!!

    Fantastic upscale vegan/vegetarian restaurant!! Chef Mario is next level. Allergen friendly. Vibes are awesome for date night or girls night. We love the wine happy hour and the cavatelli pasta is next level. I’m lactose intolerant AND have soy allergies so the MACADAMIA ricotta is such a blessing. Bring all your vegan/vegetarian friends here for an unforgettable night. Small and loving team based out of Koreatown.

    Awesome food, great people. Great to have a new fine dining option in K-town, even better that it’s vegetarian! Recommend anything mushroom. We had the chicken sandwich which was delicious, and the gem salad was really great as well. Also, get the fried olive appetizer, it was so unexpectedly good!

    Cavatelli was rich and meaty (all not meat lol) and my favorite! I was full! My friend ordered the other pasta dish which was lighter and more acid. Pizzas and salads look good too.

    We are so happy we tried this cute restaurant in the most inconspicuous shopping center. It’s has a bright and pretty ambience. The strawberry horchata is sweet and the tepache is tingly and refreshing. The kale salad is beautifully balanced with texture and flavor. The broccolini pizza has a rich vegan cheese. The lentil burger was huge and filling. The desserts were both super delicious. The horchata pudding was light and the torte was rich but not overpowering. The tea was solid. We can’t wait to try their other vegan menu items. Update: went back for brunch and it didn’t disappoint!

    I love this place. This is a great vegan / vegetarian place in K town with an incredible wine collection. I went recently and it was so good I forgot to take a photo until after. We ordered the fried olives, squash bloom, spaghetti, pineapple pizza and mushroom pizza. Everything was unique and DELICIOUS. I can’t wait to go back.

    Fantastic vegetarian and vegan food. The fried olives were an unexpected highlight. We also had wonderful pizza and risotto. The fried potatoes were probably the least impressive item but that’s only because everything else was just so good

    Every single thing we ordered was sensational. You can feel the love in every bite. There is nothing better than a chef who takes pride in making vegetarian dishes. The blueberry bread pudding was so delicious that I felt like I was on another planet while eating it. Great lighting and plenty of parking. I shall return ;)

    This place is amazing!!! My wife took me on a date here and it was a great experience from the simplicity of ordering everything from the phone, which has a menu with pictures of every dish so you know what you are getting. Everything I at was AMAZING!!! It all had a great balance of flavor. My favorite was the crab cakes, made with jack fruit. It was crunchy (I love food with good crunch ;), hot, fresh, and the sauces and greens on the side added the perfect combo to the pallet. Best of all was meeting the own LA. She was so kind and great to chat with. Her passion and spirit made the night extra special. I highly recommend this place!

    Fried olives were delicious. Pizza was good, but definitely California-style with a chewy dough and fluffy outer crust. Excellent service; waitresses were very attentive. Cute atmosphere. Good for date night. Small, intimate space. Parking lot available.

    Great new veggie place with awesome service and beautiful food. They were totally accommodating to food allergies and seared us right before closing. The pizzas, coconut fried rice, crab cakes, pulpo, and even the desserts. My least fav was the house made kimchi-jalapeno-gruyer pizza. I don't know... The flavors just didn't mesh. Still, go check out this new spot and give them some love.

    I was very let down because of (at the time of this post) the 4.9 star rating. So my expectations were high. To begin its very small and intimate venue which is nice but because of this they are often fully “committed,” so reservations here are a must. Once you sit down you order online and the wait time to get your food is woooo like 20-30+ minutes. I ordered a vegan pasta dish but it was so greasy/fatty I felt it defeated the purpose of it being vegan. I wouldn’t have eaten it if it hadn’t been so pricey. Overall it was meh…alright.

    Olivia is my new favorite restaurant in Koreatown LA! I oftentimes go to grab a bite to eat with girlfriends, and it's also great for a date spot. The ambiance and decor are really feminine and pretty, the ambiance is super approachable, and the food is fantastic (I personally love the pizzas)! It's hard to find vegetarian options that actually TASTE good, but Olivia somehow achieves this. They apparently get all of their produce from local farmer's markets, so you know that you are eating super high quality and fresh ingredients. Definitely check this restaurant out if you are looking for a new spot!

    Best vegetarian restaurant in Los Angeles! Produce is never frozen, fresh vegetables grown in California. The pizzas are a must try. Never had pizza this good. The crust is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. You can taste the high quality ingredients. Also gotta try the grilled kim cheese, sunflower seed nduja, and broccolini farro. And order a blackberry lemonade. You’re welcome!

    One of the most delicious vegan/vegetarian places I've ate at in Los Angeles, hands down!!!! I am not a vegetarian or vegan and I enjoyed everything about this restaurant and the food! The service was amazing and fast, the ambiance of the restaurant is kind of sexy yet cozy and quaint! The food just blew me away though. We had the "crispy chicken" as a starter which is just fried oyster mushrooms and yummmm!! Omg they were so good and perfectly crispy! Next we had the Cavatelli pasta which is to die for!! This pasta was so good, we ordered it to go as well! We also had the Anderson pizza that was super flavorful and delicious! Nothing we ordered disappointed us! I will definitely be back for more! Pricing is super fair here, portions are perfect! 10/10 recommend

    Incredible food from start to finish. My wife and were blown by the amazing flavors (and presentation)! Can’t wait to be back.

  • 4/5 Matthew E. 1 year ago on Google
    The best food and service during my week In LA. Don't let the location fool you, it's a must. The pizza was Outstanding. Hands down, the best pizza in LA. The crust! The sauce! The toppings! All were perfection. Vegan crispy chicken wow! Another must. We also got the fried olives and smoky sun dried tomatoes which were perfect over their amazing homemade focaccia. Without the focaccia, I didn't love. The olives have an interesting taste as they no longer taste like olives. The crackers over the sun dried tomatoes didn't pair well but what a game changer with the focaccia. Definitely recommend checking out Olivia! The food is overall really good. I can't wait to go back again soon. Fried olives

    Incredible vegan food. So much flavor in all the dishes we got. The salad, the crab cakes, broccolini pizza, and chocolate torte were all incredible. Can’t wait to go back and try everything else on the menu. This is also coming from someone with stupid high expectations for vegan food, so trust me when I say Olivia is worth a visit. Also, the staff are all so damn kind and sweet. Thank you!

    The Pea and cashew ricotta pizza was hands down the best pizza I have ever had in my entire life. I’ve been to Italy and all over Europe, New York, this is the best pizza I’ve ever had. Period. Please bring it back. PLEASE. It was so pretty too. Art. Give me more. Crazy for taking it off the menu.
