   We enjoyed the Christmas menu, which was a special treat. The restaurant was quiet when we first arrived, and business picked up pretty quickly. It's always a delight to visit Chado.

   We had a fabulous lunch at Chado Tea Room in Torrance. We had the salmon salad, vegetable panini, and the Chiken Tikka Masala. Everything tastes fresh and delicious. And all of us had various versions of the chai tea. Everyone loved it. Thank you so much for the experience! We will be back!

   Terrible service!!! Had to ask the server three times for cold water, asked her two times for hot water for the teapot, and she never came over to us to ask how we were doing. The sandwiches were horrible! Who wants a sandwich made from cold toasted bread? I had a stomach ache for two days after eating there. And to top it off, I was overcharged $5.50 which I just noticed on my credit card. I have a feeling she changed my tip. The bathrooms were disgusting. I have been to many other restaurants to have tea/lunch, and this was the worst experience ever!

    I’ve been to tea rooms all over the country, my mother in law who was my guest works at a high end tea room in New Mexico and we were both seriously underwhelmed. The atmosphere wasn’t that of a cohesive tea room but felt like a dusty storage facility for china, we sat adjacent to the non working fountain which was covered in dust. The restaurant smelled of cleaner, a huge turn off to me, it smelled like I’d just cleaned my toilets 😫 Service was extremely slow, the place wasn’t even half full and questions or requests for salt and pepper were met with a cold hesitation. Tea was mediocre at best, we ordered an Earl Gray and had to ask for sugar and cream which we waited at least 20 minutes for causing the cup poured for us to go cold. The tea seemed over steeped and bitter. We both ordered salads, her Waldorf was good but lacked pepper (which we requested twice and never came) and my Caesar was drowned in dressing and soggy. We both ordered a scone with clotted cream and lemon curd, lemon curd was great and the scones tasted like vanilla wafers with an overwhelming vanilla extract. For $76 lunch I should have taken her to one of the many great restaurants in the riviera with good ambiance and fantastic food.
