Had a very wonderful experience. We had arrived for my mother’s birthday. We were properly placed at our table and was received by a very pleasant waitress. I had forgotten her name but I wish I hadn’t. 😞 she was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

We had a fabulous lunch at Chado Tea Room in Torrance. We had the salmon salad, vegetable panini, and the Chiken Tikka Masala. Everything tastes fresh and delicious. And all of us had various versions of the chai tea. Everyone loved it. Thank you so much for the experience! We will be back!
