Jordan FoxAugust 9, 2014Tea selection is great and the small plates are homey and kind of comforting in their simplicity.
JennyJune 13, 2014Cute & quiet ambience tea house with a good selection of tea and desserts. Lunch special is until 6PM.
Deena LeighMay 18, 2012Try the hibiscus tea! And don't forget to visit the ladies room for the authentic japanese toilet experience (sorry, men...I'm told there's only a regular american toilet in there...boring..)
Diana ChoiJuly 7, 2013Great place to chill in St. Marks especially if you're a tea drinker. And don't forget they accept cash only!
- tina beansMay 21, 2015Refined, elegant and quiet Japanese-style tea room also serving light meals. Full-service. Limited seating.
Anna KhanApril 20, 2013Get a table by the window for tea time. Jasmine is my favorite. Order black sesame mochi and the scones. Amazing!
Brian McFaddenFebruary 18, 2016Dessert: Unique takes on local favorites. Tea: abounding in variety and quality.
Puu KampolratanaMarch 17, 2015The only thing I love from the sampler was black sesame pudding. Gotta go back for more.

Jaclyn LamOctober 30, 2014Dessert here is great and very cozy. Even though it's small toy still don't feel crowded

Rommy NalonApril 4, 2015Everything is good if you like Japanese cooking and desserts. Good for dates
- Pedro GuedesAugust 16, 2014This casual, cash-only Japanese tea room is notable for its tea, but also for its desserts.
etta yJune 4, 2011It's easy to dismiss this place as just a cafe, but their savory offerings are really tasty too. Limited menu so definitely one for fans of real Japanese food. No substitutions.- i love the $10 lunch dons that is served with genmaicha and add $3 you get a chef special dessert.you can't go wrong with their wide selection of tea and dessert.
sarah lipmanOctober 5, 2011this place will blow your mindcashorder the scones at the start of the meal takes time for them to cookjapanese + english = best tea party ever!!!
Adil IbrahimAugust 11, 2014The ambiance is great/authentic! The tea/dessert was way below expectations. My White Peony tea was more astringent than white tea ever should be, and the sesame seed creme brûlée was not good at all.
Jason GelmanSeptember 29, 2012Tea soaked salmon is delicious. Impressive tea selection and very relaxing atmosphere.- Simran JaisingJanuary 27, 2013matcha tea quality is unparalleled. mochi desserts are ever so soft. nice tea room, but a bit crowded for my taste.
Great place. Go for lunch and then book a Sunday morning tea ceremony w Noriko
