The Tea Pavilion at the Japanese Friendship Gardens is the optimal casual conclusion to a day at Balboa Park. Although classically elegant in presentation, the Tea Pavilion attracts a wide range of park goers with affordable, quality Asian inspired cuisine, arrayed teas, and calming views of the gardens. From a table inside the petite pavilion, or outside on the deck patio, guests enjoy magnificent views alongside sushi, Japanese noodles, rice bowls, soups and salads, sandwiches, and snacks. The Tea Pavilion has something for everyone; serving classic sandwiches with an Asian twist, such as the vegetable sandwich, with sprouts, lettuce, and Asian pesto. And as one may assume, the pavilion takes tea to the next level. Choose between green, oolong, white, and herbal teas, as well as slushies and traditional refreshments. We recommend the Green Dragon Chai Tea, a green tea spiced in authentic Himalayan tradition.
