ABOUT
CHAYA: CHAYA has an unprecedented 400-year history of restaurants owned and operated by the same Tsunoda family both in Japan and California. CHAYA began under an enormous shade tree in Hayama, Japan, centuries ago, where they offered tea, sweets, and respite to weary horseback travelers. Today, there are two locations in Japan (Hikage Chaya and La Maree de Chaya) and four locations in California (Beverly Hills, Venice, Downtown L.A., and San Francisco). Famous for serving imaginative Euro-Asian cuisine and for a tradition of unmatched hospitality, the landmark CHAYA Brasserie in Beverly Hills has been a dining destination among celebrities, entertainment executives, and epicureans for over 27 years. CHAYA Venice celebrated its 20 year anniversary in 2010, along with CHAYA Brasserie San Francisco, located on the Embarcadero, which has been in business for over 10 years featuring sweeping views of the Bay Bridge. CHAYA continues its support of aspiring culinary professionals through its year-long partnership with Careers through Culinary Arts Programs to help underserved high school students who are interested in pursuing a career in the hospitality and food-service industries get the education they deserve. CHAYA also operates two Los Angeles-area locations of its popular, casual macrobiotic eatery, M Cafe.
