    I used to love this place when it was on 3rd Street. Hadn’t been in a long time and was surprised at how much the food had gone downhill. They used to give you more filling in the sandwiches. Had the Punjab egg and the Souchong chicken. Not much filling in either. And the chicken was radically different than it used to be which was generous chunks of shredded chicken and a nice spread of lingonberry or cranberry sauce. Now they mix finely diced bits of chicken with a tiny bit of cranberry and a ton of mayonnaise. It was gross.

    I wanted to love this cute and cozy tea room after watching enticing videos on Instagram. I've sampled at least a dozen different tea rooms; sadly, Chado was by far the most disappointing afternoon tea experience. The sandwiches were one note and lacked depth of flavors. Instead of pretty dainty sandwiches, the ones served didn't appear appetizing at all. Specifically, the lox was placed on a flimsy piece of soft bread which made it difficult to eat. The scones were dense with an odd consistency; luckily the yummy whipped cream masked the scones' shortcomings. The dessert tier should have been the highlight of the tea tiers, but we were served a single cookie and macaron per person. Finally, the quintessential part of afternoon tea should be the TEA, right? I'm not sure what the problem was, but the tea tasted like it was not steeped correctly---perhaps not using the appropriate water temperature and/or proportion of tea leaves? Despite the kind server trying to rectify the issue, the tea still tasted like warm water with a diluted hint of tea. The one saving grace was our two servers who were pleasant and attentive. I do hope that Chado will take this review to heart, because I'm an afternoon tea enthusiast who is yearning for a tea room to frequent.

    Such a great lunch. The food was delicious. From the warm scones to the herbal teas to the sandwiches and salad and selection of desserts. And, the nice ice cream with the candle, for my friends Bday, was a nice surprise. We each took a bite, but were too full to eat it. All of the cookies and candies went home with us. Great service. We never felt rushed. The waiter was attentive without being disruptive. I will definitely go back.

    We had a fabulous time at Chado! The food and tea were delicious but most importantly, the service was phenomenal. We had two fantastic servers, but Sam specifically went above and beyond! The two really took care of us but Sam added that special touch by bringing us a sample of his favorite tea blend and even helped us celebrate our friend’s birthday. He had a great sense of humor and made us feel so welcome and comfortable. We will definitely be going back! Especially because there are so many more teas and food items to try :)

    My wife and I went to the tea house in Pasadena on a Saturday afternoon. Everything was wonderful with the exception that on the day we went the central AC was out so they were using portable AC units and fans, but I understand that sometimes things stop working, and to their credit the team room had a back up plan. The food they provide with your afternoon tea service is the equivalent of a good lunch. We enjoyed our afternoon.

    Tables for two are too small. By the time they served two pots of tea and placed the tiered sandwich and desserts server on the table, I couldn't see my lunch companion across the table.
