Natsunoya Tea House

While this tea house is steeped in history, it isn’t enough to overlook its issues. The parking situation is atrocious. $6 valet fee just to have the attendants play Tetris with your car since their lot is too tiny to hold enough cars for their building. Your car doesn’t even get parked in the shade. The roads leading to the tea house are winding and confusing, and prove tricky for street parking when their tiny lot inevitably fills up. While historic, the building is essentially just an old, large house and it feels like it once you get inside, despite the recent renovations. The view is average.The food in their buffet line is, on the whole, pretty good. Their agedashi tofu, hibachi chicke...

The food and service were both excellent. It's been a very long time since I've been there, possibly 35 years, but I had a very nice time. Obviously the building is old and it would be nice if the women's restroom had more than two stalls, but they clearly take care of the structure and the facility was clean. It was nice to be there after not having gone in such a long time!
