Tea Bar & Fusion Kitchen - Sacramento — Restaurant in Sacramento

I've always had their London broil bowl with brown rice, baby greens and with the miso sauce. I happened to be in Sac so per usual I got my regular order to go. My husband actually went in to place an order while I was in the car with the kids. My son had to use the restroom so I headed inside to switch with my husband. To my surprise there were no customers inside. After using the restroom, I went up to ask the worker behind the bar if my order under my husband's name was ready. She handed me the drink order only. So I asked if the food order was also ready and she looked confused. She went to the kitchen staff and asked about it. She never came back to check in with me and avoided me. So I just stood there awkwardly with my son. 10 minutes later and she came out with my order. I checked the bag and there were no utensils so I went ahead and grabbed some from.the front. In total it took them 20 minutes to complete my order. A bit long for no customers.

So as my husband drove off, I dug right in. As I opened, the meat was not seasoned in that ginger savory flavor. It was cut in thin slices. I've never seen it cut in this way. Usually thicker so it's not dry and the pieces i got were super dry. The photo says it all. The avocado that was given to me also had a lemon flavor to it. Imo they squeezed lemon juice on top to prevent browning? Usually it's freshly cut and into slices but I just got a mushed quarter scoop of avocado.

I'm not saying to not go but my experience was so bad this time I probably will avoid this...

it’s impossible to give tea bar anything less than 5 stars! i’ve been going to the OG location in chico since 2008. when i found out they were opening in sac, i just about peed my pants out of excitement (yes, it’s THAT good). from the drinks, to the food, to the service, it’s always a great experience!

FOOD & DRINK the food and drinks are truly the stars of the show. i’ve never had anything bad from tea bar. it’s always a knockout. some of my absolute favorites drinks are the strawberry lime, oolong and caramel cream with tapioca pearls duh, and the strawberry almond frost. for food, the salmon wrapper (with the garlic herb wrapper YUM) and the salmon fusion bowl are my go-to orders. but the sweet chili chicken is an immediate second. it wasn’t until their sac location opened that i tried their yummus hummus with their pillowy soft naan and the crunchiest of cucumbers (the sweet chili & ginger option will send your tastebuds into ORBIT). their produce is always fresh, and their dressings are loaded with flavor #teamcreamyteriyaki4L

SERVICE always outstanding service at the sac location. is it a requirement to be a dope and kind person to work here? because everyone is truly so kind!

PARKING limited street parking but easily within walking distance to the cafe.

SEATING plenty of indoor and outside seating! sat outside and worked today, and it was glorious!

ATMOSPHERE always good vibes, cutesy decor, a great place to be.

always looking forward to my next visit!...

TBar is one of my favorite places to get food or a tea from, full stop. I moved from Chico to Sacramento before the Sac TBar opened. I was estatic when I heard they were opening in Sac.

Tea options are plentiful, and they are happy to modify them (protip: get the hot tea creations iced). They food is delicious and healthy (in this case they are not mutually exclusive). It is always clean, they staff is absolutely wonderful and seem to love their jobs. I knew people in Chico that worked at the two Chico locations, and all loved working there. They really are a great staff. Super friendly, efficient, remember your name (when is the last place you went where the staff remembered your name?), and all around helpful.

TBar only had 3 locations so they are a small business. But they also do it right. The Tbars in Chico would also help me fundraise at my last job, so they also give back to the community they operate in.

The bathrooms here are also always clean. They also get bonus points as they are all fully enclosed stalls with a shared wash basin, so the bathrooms are trans, pee shy, or family friendly.

If you've never tried TBar, go see why I eat there at least once a week. At least get a tea. You'll...
