I ordered afternoon tea set ($30 per person) with my friends. The food quality was terrible, just cheap market products, three out of four tea cups have a chip. The service was also the same level. I never recommend this restaurant to anyone. Totally waste of money!

As always, the afternoon tea service at Chado was delightful! There were 2 large parties there and we were still given excellent service. In addition to the tea service, we ordered the Waldorf salad and it was delicious. Rather than a stuffy traditional English tea house, Chado is modern and comfortable and a perfect zen atmosphere. Highly recommend!

We were seated at our 3:15 appointment. We watched as tables were bussed and waiters walked around to other tables, noticing that nobody met our eyes. At 3:30 I went up and mentioned that we'd been there a bit and nobody had talked to us (I have to admit, we arrived hungry). The person at the register was brusque. My teapot arrived at 3:45 and I left it to steep. The food for the 3 of us arrived at 3:50. I asked for sweetener for my tea and if the tea for the two other people was ready. Their tea came out soon after. If we hadn't arrived hungry, or if it was a bigger group of adults, it may have been ok that we weren't able to have our tea and food for 35 minutes. But two parents with a hungry child listening to the woman with two daughters at the table next to us not get what she asked for twice left a bad impression.

The food was amazing, but the service was subpar. It was hard to get a server to circle back with us to get milk for our tea and the food came out incorrectly the first time. Food was wonderful, but I'd go on maybe not a busy Saturday afternoon.

It's a nice place for tea service. The tea sandwiches are delicious! Great ambiance. Good price for tea service. If you don't want tea service they have other choices. The servers are wonderful. Service can sometimes be a bit slow, but that's ok you're going to relax and take your time enjoying the tea experience.

We had the afternoon tea for Valentine's Day. It was a nice experience, but I don't think we'll be back any time soon. I don't think the food was anything special. The tea was very good, but not that memorable. The restaurant was nicely decorated. There were very few customers when we were there since it was a weekday afternoon, as such, the service was very good. Not worth the price.

Made the reservation for 5, 4 weeks ahead to celebrate Galentines. When we arrived they wanted to cram us at a table set for 4 at the front door! I told them the reservation was made well in advance and needed a table for 5! Took over 10 minutes for a table to be cleaned and set. Took over 10 minutes to have a server who didn't review the menu! Food and tea arrived the server checked on us when we were finished. Very disappointed with the lack of service!

The tea and teapots here are super cute and the flavors are spot-on. But, the strong detergent smell is too much, making it hard to chill and enjoy your drink. Also, the lights are way too bright and the decor's kinda off, giving it a less cozy vibe than you'd want for a tea spot. This place has the potential to be awesome, it just needs a few tweaks to really hit that welcoming, comfy spot for hanging out and enjoying some tea or food.

They're serious about tea. It doesn't really feel oriental or European. They established their own unique Chado vibes, and I liked it much.It's still arguable, but to me, this place doesn't fall under those fancy and "instagrammable" categories. It's more like visiting your long forgotten cousins who happened to be expert in tea. Very comfortable and friendly.Amazing tea followed by sweet delights.

amazing service, the staff was perfectly attentive. we made a reservation for 1pm but got there 30 minutes early, and they seated us anyway. Definitely the best prices for afternoon tea service in the area. For two, it was around $75, which sounds expensive but is actually fair for what you get. Amazing tea selection, I recommend the "birthday tea".
