"A Chinatown tea establishment noted for offering tea ceremonies, listed among the few Los Angeles spots that provide formal tea service." - Mona Holmes
"A modern teahouse in Chinatown that operates as a nighttime bar under the Steep After Dark name adjusted its hours to comply with the curfew, with owners reporting that Chinatown felt empty after 6 p.m. Staff planned to close the evening program one hour earlier at 10 p.m. after the curfew change and described the move as not a full return to normal but a hopeful step forward." - Rebecca Roland
"Steep is a modern teahouse located in Mandarin Plaza, Chinatown, Los Angeles. It offers a variety of teas and tea-infused drinks, contributing to the area's vibrant food and beverage scene." - Rebecca Roland
"Sip tea cocktails, such as an umeshu Negroni topped with Lapsang Souchong air or a whiskey sour with oolong and salted egg yolk, at this teahouse-turned-cocktail bar in Chinatown’s Mandarin Plaza. Available Wednesday through Sunday nights, the drinks by bar consultant Chris Amirault (StarChefs’ Rising Star alum) are meant for leisure enjoyment. The bar promotes sipping and savoring. No rush, and definitely no hurried shots. Hang out with friends on the patio out front, sharing an umami snack platter or splitting the truffle-infused pork belly served with marinated egg, pickled daikon, and green tea rice." - Caroline Pardilla
"Each dish made by this modern Chinatown tea shop is associated with good luck, fortune, wealth, and health. Their Lunar New Year set costs $55 and includes one traditional radish cake filled with Chinese sausage and mushrooms, one brown sugar rice cake made with dried longan fruit a tea ceremony, and their new Steep tote bag. Order through their website for pickup Thursday, February 11th through Saturday, February 13th." - kat hong
