Lovely day to celebrate a birthday! Beautiful ladies all dressed up and enjoying the lovely tea service and beautiful sandwiches. The Mauritius tea with a hint of vanilla was just breathtaking!! I came back a few days later and bought some of the loose tea to take and enjoy at home!! Very special place! Grandma's... your granddaughters would think this place is so neat!!

Spent the afternoon at Chado Tea Room in Torrance, and it was just beautiful. We were served tea in the cutest elephant-shaped teapots with matching cups — so charming and very British. You can order a full afternoon tea service or go à la carte with scones, soups, salads, or sandwiches, so there’s plenty of variety depending on your mood.
The space itself is quite large and peaceful — quiet even though it’s right off a busy street. It’s such a lovely spot to catch up with a friend over tea. You can also shop for loose-leaf teas or little tea accessories while you’re there.
Perfect for a girlfriend tea date, bridal shower, or just a slow, cozy lunch hour. We tried some of their bestsellers and loved them. Definitely going back — it’s sweet, relaxing, and surprisingly spacious.

We took our 4 year old niece to tea for her birthday and she loved it! It was a little pricy for a 4 year old, but it was a wonderful experience and we will be taking her every year.

We celebrated a friend's birthday on a Monday afternoon and had a lovely time. We ordered the afternoon tea service with a scone, four sandwiches, macaroon, and cookie. We chose different flavored teas so we could try a variety and they were perfect. It gets busy here on weekends so make a reservation. On weekdays, it is quiet and our friend had a great time, especially since it was her first visit to Chado. We also bought loose tea to bring home. Highly recommend this tea room with locations in Little Tokyo and Hollywood, too.

Vintage ,unique ,quiet place to unwind and relax with tasty tea and lots of choices. The water fountain in the back just helps you feel relaxed and comfortable all while contemplating about life and how it's not so bad after all , delicious foods rich in flavor.

It's what you would expect for an afternoon tea service but 1/2 sandwiches instead of finger sandwiches. The service was quick but we didn't feel rushed.

It's what you would expect for an afternoon tea service with with 1/2 sandwiches instead of finger sandwiches. There is a nice selection of teas to choose from and lots of items for sale. The service itself was quick with whimsical teapots and beautiful tea cups and saucers. We never felt rushed. In fact, I don't recall if anyone checked on us between service and delivering the bill but we had everything we needed. It's a big space. We visited around 1:00 pm on a Saturday. There were just a few parties scattered around so it was relatively quiet. I imagine if the space had more tables occupied the noise level would go up a bit.
My pregnant wife has been craving tea this entire pregnancy, and after weeks of research, she decided the Chadao Tea Room would be our first stop on a special trip. We drove hours from out of town to come here.
Because LA traffic is unpredictable, I called ahead. Mike answered. I explained our situation clearly:
“We’re coming from out of town, our appointment is at 4:30, but traffic’s bad — we’ll probably be a little late.”
Mike reassured me:
“As long as you get here before 5pm, you’ll be fine.”
I even repeated it back to confirm, because I didn’t want any misunderstandings. He confirmed it. I even asked for his name in case anyone tried to turn us away.
Despite our best efforts, LA traffic was brutal. We finally arrived at 4:56pm. I dropped my pregnant wife off at the door while I parked, excited for her to finally get the tea she’d been craving.
Moments later, my phone rang.
It was her — in tears.
Mike, the same person who promised us we’d be fine if we arrived before 5, had personally turned her away. He claimed “it’s 5pm” when it was 4:57pm. His excuse?
“You wouldn’t know what you wanted.”
Let that sink in.
A pregnant woman who spent weeks dreaming about this visit, who drove hours through LA traffic, standing in front of their door with three minutes to spare, was denied and sent away in tears.
This isn’t just bad customer service. This is heartless. It’s dishonest. It’s cruel.
Mike could have honored his word. He chose not to. And because of that, our special first stop — the one my wife was most excited about — turned into a humiliating, crushing disappointment.
If this is how Chadao Tea Room treats people, especially vulnerable customers they promise to accommodate, then they don’t deserve your trust, your time, or your money.
Shame on you, Mike. Shame on Chadao Tea Room.

Always a great experience that it's always surprising that it's only like $30 for tea time. It's an experience to relax here.

Amazing tea and awesome location. Can't wait to go again.

I was there for Mother's Day tea. Everything was delicious and absolutely lovely and even more impressive was the level of detail and care that went into planning the special Mother's Day menu. They even gave out a lovely tea cup and saucer to take home as a Mother's Day gift. I was really moved by how thoughtful the restaurant put into the whole day.

As a person who loves high tea and has sampled many in Southern California this is the most dreadful I have ever gone to. They literally split one strawberry in 2 for 2 people and the sweets appeared “store bought “ Madeline's my friends who chose not to have tea service, but have a Panini found that their Panini had the thin slice of one piece of meat possible. Two in our party ordered tomato soup, which never arrived and there was never an offer to refill the teapot.
