The experience was perfect! Parking was easy, access was easy, food terrific, server delightful, surroundings scenic... even the comapny was good! And I just love Chado's food. I had a lovely time and can't wait to go back and spend the day in Little Tokyo MAY 2008: This is where I take my avant-garde friends and young employees that I want to introduce to tea. It was the first place I had ever had a toasted or goat cheese tea sandwich. I was hooked from the very first visit and equally enjoy both the LA & Pasadena locations and am dying to visit the JANM to support 'the way of tea' in its new additional home
