By Salli Vates Apr 16, 2006
Many restaurants stop serving lunch around 2:30 p.m. Often, I'll neglect to check my watch and then walk around in a hungry haze, wishing I hadn't missed the cut-off. Fortunately, I now have a trusty standby for those hours between lunch and dinner: Cha-An. FULL REVIEW

The Japanese teahouse Cha-An has meal too. (see past entry). 15 Grain Porridage set $16, comes with tea, appertizer and desserts. The icecream is Jasmine Tea. Everything taste so delicate and pretty, I feel delicate and pretty. FULL REVIEW

Cha-an Teahouse
By Eat Drink One Woman Mar 26, 2005
This cozy Japanese teahouse is tucked at the top of a walnut stained staircase on the Little Tokyo block of 9th St. & 3rd Ave. The dark wood bench along one wall is lined with still-green tatami; a silent stone fountain sits on the floor just off the center of the room; a hobbit sized replica of a traditional paper-screened Japanese tea room takes up a sixth of the precious real estate in this one room tea haven. Tea is served with all the rituals and flourishes a traditionalist would want, but the friendly gray robe clad waitresses are anything but stuffy. Try the Tibetan pu-erh tea, so dark and syrupy-rich it could cut through the most devoted coffee-lover's iron-palate. Cha-an also has a selection of alcoholic libations, including a green-flecked sake mojito in a delicate crystal tumbler and a sake based lychee cocktail. The desserts are definitely worthy companions for the top-notch tea -- we loved the crisp, feather-light, properly toque-shaped warm chocolate souffle, with its slender shotglass of fuchsia raspberry sauce. I ordered the superb black sesame creme brulee, which was topped with a melon ball scoop of black sesame ice cream, icy milk sliding down the tongue with the rich, warmer custard and the crackly brulee layer. The special of the evening was a sakura flan, more like a wobbly panna cotta, in the palest shade of spring green -- it was made with the leaves of the cherry blossom tree. And the best treat of all? Cha-an's bathrooms have specially imported toilets from Japan that you have to test-drive to believe. FULL REVIEW
