agnes chan: The savory meal sets are delicious. My favorite cozy spot for tea and yummy light desserts. And black sesame crème brûlée is awesome.
Nicholas Doyle: The Chocolate Mochi beats out the Green Tea and the Black Sesame (the special when I went), so if you can't decide, stick with the chocolate. It's lush & buttery, like a truffle.
Felicia M: Excellent excellent tea and afternoon tea set. Tiny place.
