Absolutely delicious tea and food for the price, even if you don't do the tea ceremony option we were impressed with the single cup teas (large serving and steeped well). The staff was really great and kindly explained everything.

Really good hainan chicken, nice vibe from the area and the employees, but it's a little pricey.

Dinner was amazing thank you!

Lovely place for friends gathering. They donāt have many food options. Itās more like a drink place than a restaurant. But the atmosphere is nice. Easy to talk.

Steep LA is more than just a restaurant, tea shop, or bar ā itās a movement aimed at revitalizing the cultural and social fabric of LAās Chinatown. Iāve visited many times for different events, from guest bartender takeovers to the summer night market, and each time it has fostered a real sense of community while bridging connections across Asian culture.
The owners themselves are welcoming and approachable, often serving cocktails and food during events. That personal touch, combined with genuine hospitality, makes the space feel warm and inviting.
The food menu highlights classic Taiwanese and Chinese entrees, and after 5 p.m., the focus expands to cocktails. The cocktail list is especially creative, featuring a range of tea-based drinks that draw on diverse tea varieties to create something distinctive and memorable.

One of the best Chicken & Rice in town. Excellent tea selection including sparkling options.
amazing ambiance, drinks, food, and vibes & just a 10/10 for a late night hangout or dinner!
mango pomelo cheesecake was FANTASTIC and im not usually a cake person!

Excellent vibes, very nice patio space. Chewy tofu was FANTASTIC, the green tea rice was good. The drink was a little on the bitter side for me , would ask for a recommendation next time. Juni tea was good! Sweeter at the bottom
Friday night in August had live jazz right next door in the courtyard!!

Nice ambience and vibes, wait isnāt usually too bad, drinks are pretty interesting albeit can be quite pricey, only had lo rou fan for food and honestly wasnāt a big fan (reminds me of Destroyer dishes for whatever reason). Definitely one of the more elevated tea bars!

Steep is a great modern tea house in the heart of Chinatown. During the day, they have yummy rice and noodle bowls, Chinese inspired appetizers, and a really lovely selection of freshly brewed tea. I love the chicken rice here.
I especially love coming in the evening for their Steep After Dark menu, where they have a selection of tea forward cocktails, as well as a selection of bar bites. A must order for me is the furikake popcorn and the oolong cream soda (non-alcoholic). The bar menu changes a bit seasonally as well, so thereās always something new to try.
Steep also does a really good job of supporting other Asian American small businesses in the area. They frequently host markets and events in their courtyard and feature many of them in their retail/main menu offerings.
