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 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.

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.

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.

Went there recently with a friend for high tea. Nice ambience. Nice selection of tea sandwiches and scones. Not much of a selection of drinks other than tea or water. It would be nice if they were able to offer Champagne for the high tea but they don't have a wine license. They do allow you to bring your own. They seem to be very lightly staffed and it did take quite a while when we had a request. The tea was very nice and the food was good quality. Nice traditional tea house. Shelves lined with really cute teapots and other items for sale. Prices are in line with what you would expect for a high tea. They do need better service and they also need to pay attention as the tablecloth at our table was dirty and should have been changed before we were seated. It would also be nice to see additional beverage selections, especially for those who don't drink tea. Perhaps some sparkling mineral water options and a selection of soft drinks. Overall a nice experience and it would be a nice place to host an event.

It was a great experience. Service was excellent. We were seated right away. The plates were lacking. Pictures showed so much more. The tea was exceptionally amazing. The champagne looking tea was the best. We also tried butterscotch tea. The chocolate lips and red hearts with tea infusion was delicious. The tea sandwiches lacked a bit. But everything was fulfilling. My husband loved the salmon finger sandwiches. There was a lot to view inside.
Perfect spot to spend time with your girlfriends!!

I visited for afternoon Sunday tea for my 31st birthday and originally made a reservation weeks in advanced for 6 guest. A few days before my reservation I called the tea room to confirm my reservation and to add additional seats and a highchair. Over the phone, the representative agreed for 10 guest total, however just an hour before my reservation I called again to confirm, and no one knew what I was talking about lol. He even questioned if my reservation was even made. The atmosphere of the business is amazing, great for photos and the sandwiches and tea were delectable as well! However, the service especially in the beginning of my birthday reservation was so off putting. The manager snapped at my guest when they asked for a menu (very rude), and was flustered adding chairs despite my sincerely apologetic reminders. This made me very sad because we all were so eager to patron and I thought everything as a whole would be more welcoming. The afternoon tea is a set price and that could've been reiterated to my guest more pleasantly. It was between this establishment and a different place in Pasadena and I'm not totally sure if I made the right call. My party was dressed exquisitely on theme for a tea house, and the servers did attempt to make up for the indifference from the beginning by being sweet, so thank you. Regardless, my friends and family had a great time because we made it great. The service overall could've been better/more welcoming from the start.

Been a handful of times. The food is fair but the sweets are lacking. The service is always unsatisfactory. I understand a slow experience but there's a lack of quality of service. Never bringing cream for tea or inquiries whether you want cream/sugar. Never bringing or offering water. This last time there was a man dressed like a woman and I was there with young children. Some patrons are probably fine with that but I don't see my family returning. I wish it had a better experience because the area is lacking in casual tea rooms. Plenty of more elegant options though.
