Tea Pavilion

This is a great little place to stop at for a cute lunch after spending the day in Balboa Park....I am addicted to tea and they have a huge selection of teas to choose from....this is definitely a great little place to relax at!

Huge bowls of food for reasonable prices. Great place to have lunch at. The cherry blossom tea is okay only if you want something japanese. They also have a selection of japanese snacks which looked appetizing but I didn't buy them.

What a lovely restaurant! I really loved the ambiance at the place. an specially the food, Japanese cuisine, it was all in all a really good restaurant

I'm so glad I found out about this place. I've been living in San Diego all my life and i'm surprised i haven't heard of this place until recently. The tea was reeeally good... just pair it with a bowl of miso soup and call it a day!

I am a tea fiend, and they always have something new I haven't even tried amd serve it in huge custom tea bags. You have to remove it before you drink the whole thing or add more water, because they give you so many leaves! The location is great, as I can just hit it up after a fun trip to the park, and it's right next to the friendship garden, so the atmosphere is uber-relaxing. The food isn't over priced like one would expect for something inside of the park and it's delicious to boot. Try the curry, it's fantastic. Plus, they sell Koala Yummies, something I never grew out of from childhood.

Great place to hang out and relax after walking around Balboa Park. The food is very reasonably priced and they offer more than just Japanese cuisine. They also have a great selection of teas.

Wow... the tea pavilion was a really refreshing experience. Beautiful view of the garden and a great place to mellow out after walking around Balboa Park all day.
