About Tea Pavilion

The Tea Pavilion offers a pretty setting next to the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park, providing a nice ambiance for a light meal or refreshing beverage. The menu features popular items like the grilled salmon rice bowl, jasmine iced tea, and iced matcha green tea latte, though the quality can be inconsistent. Reviewers have enjoyed the salmon bowl and peach tea, but found the chicken teriyaki bowl to be dry and tough. The location is convenient for exploring the park, and the Balboa Explorer Pass offers a 10% discount. However, the crowds can make it difficult to fully enjoy the experience, with the ordering space being tight and service sometimes forgetting orders. The iced matcha latte is made with sweetener and can become lukewarm quickly. Overall, the Tea Pavilion is a suitable option for a quick bite or drink while visiting Balboa Park, though visitors may need to be flexible with their orders.
