    I love the quiet atmosphere and lovely patio, when warm. The service is always good and relaxing tea time. I love to bring friends as it a fun and lovely afternoon of feeling special.

    Ambiance was the best part of this Chado location in Little Tokyo. Service was a bit slow as there was only one host and one server on a weekend. Tables were spaced out enough to have quiet conversation with your guest/party. Sit outside for the best atmosphere. What would have elevated the experience: a thoughtful, brief rundown of each type of tea and history of Chado.

    This was our (my mother and my) 4th time at a Chado location, and probably the best one, yet! Our host, David, was attentive, detailed, and warm! Thank you so much for a beautiful day, great food, and delicious tea!

    Very pleasant courtyard with tables. The actual tea that you drink was fantastic. However, the food was fine, but not amazing. Caesar salad, overdressed, scones a little too dense, sandwiches just felt like sandwiches not tea sandwiches. Beware that the surrounding neighborhood is filled with homeless people and a little sketchy. Don’t park too far away .
