Brad ZickafooseMarch 11, 2013Their tea soup with smoked salmon is excellent. It comes with green tea that you can pour over the meal or enjoy separately as it's own drink.
Josh PolcharSeptember 29, 2014Wonderful green tea, oolong tea, black tea, and everything else you can imagine. Worth the time and money to fully appreciate.
Kelly 🍰April 22, 2013Pricey but tasty Asian fusion dishes! They are generous with proteins....get the tea soup and smoked salmon! Healthy and delish
BravoNovember 12, 2010I use their teas obssesively in my desserts. Also sit and enjoy a pot of tea, relax, you'll feel your karma get lighter. -Yigit Pura, Top Chef Just Desserts
Kim TsangDecember 19, 2012Super nice place to bring someone you like and hang out at. Get the tea soup and chai! And what smells so good??
NatashaMarch 31, 2013Fun, relaxing, beautiful place to have awesome conversations with friends and enjoy yum yet expensive tea!
The soy matcha shake is delicious! Smooth, creamy, and not too sweet.
Jordan KongMarch 23, 2014Getting a tea service is great value, especially since the portions are enough for two!
Come in on a lazy Saturday & get a Chai and some scones. Use twice the amount of cream and jam they initially serve you. Leave happy :)
Suraj SavaliaDecember 22, 2013The chèvre-stuffed dates are sooo good! Get them alone or as part of the Moorish Tea Service.
Robert ScobleJuly 7, 2012The Cacao Mint smells amazing, like Girl Scouts' Mint Chocolate cookies. It doesn't taste anything like that, though. Try it, but other teas are better.
Turmeric tea is good for your heart and has very potent anti-cancer and anti-arthritis properties.
@JaumePrimeroAugust 14, 2013Quite possibly the cutest little tea house in the Lower Haight and SF proper!
- Maykel LoomansAugust 23, 2014Get the Green Ecstacy. Or the matcha shake. And come grab the Jook for brunch.
Billy FNovember 12, 2010Yoshi and the entire staff are great. Just ask for suggestions! They have so much tea knowledge to share with you.
Caitlin CunninghamJanuary 10, 2011Try the Japanese service with smoked salmon and green tea! Fudge brownie desert is perfect sweet for 2!
Samovar Tea LoungeDecember 12, 2013Beginning Monday, 12/16, Zen Valley's hours will be 10am - 10pm M-F, and 9am - 10pm Sat/Sun. See you soon!
Beau SmithAugust 13, 2011Schizandra Berry ice tea is very refreshing. If you find it a little sweet, cut it with your spring water and double your tea!

The tea soup is awesome. Also, get the brownie dessert - the brownie is so-so but the green tea mousse that comes with it is light fluffy happiness.
Samovar Tea LoungeMay 2, 2013Thanks to customer feedback, the Tea Lounges open at 8am now!
Arthur ChangDecember 20, 2012It's really nice here. Tempe is good and replaced all their tofu dishes.
Anne NguyenSeptember 15, 2012The cherry scone is very good! The Russian Tea Service was very earthy.
Jennifer UsherSeptember 14, 2010Try the coconut rice pudding, it's incredible. Loved the Ocean of Wisdom and the Bai Mudan tea.
James WhittakerOctober 16, 2011Try the green ecstasy green tea with matcha. It's almost fluorescent green!
Jessica SantascoyJune 18, 2011Get the organic Jasmine Pearl tea to brew at home. Lasts about 3 mos for $37.
The ginger quinoa waffles are amazing, but are only available until 3pm
Amy CaoNovember 6, 2011Try the Nocturnal Bliss - "Sip this to soothe nerves and sleep blissfully." - menu. Here's to another crazy Saturday night.
Vandana NairFebruary 25, 2012The wasabi salad is a bit overrated. Try the moorish salad instead if you have a hankering for a salad.
If you're new to Samovar, try the Chai or Tie Kuan Yin. Also, the squash dumplings are a must. Enjoy!
Ryan GravesAugust 4, 2010If you chilled w/ a tea, you'll probably want to chill in an UberCab as you leave. Get the app here:- It's unpleasantly warm in here. Like a geriatric facility with no ventilation.
eat the Maki Bowl! but when ordering, say "maki" 3x louder then the rest of the words you say. it's tradition!
Ginger quinoa waffles and a Soy Matcha shake. Make it so.
