What a lovely way to spend the afternoon to celebrate a belated Mother's Day. To start off, it was a beautiful sunny May day and the views of the lake were gorgeous. We had a reservation for 4 at noon and they sat us promptly at our table. The tables setting was adorable with each of us with our own pattern of china, a copy of the tea service and silver tea warming set. I believe there were over 53 teas to choose from - we ordered the island paradise, sweet almond, cocoa deluxe and caramel ambrosia. We asked for milk and sugar (it was a warm brown color, very rustic presentation). We waited for the tea to steep and were served our food quickly thereafter. Everything was delicious but the stand out favorites for the table were: the miso salmon rillette sandwich, cherry shortbread, scone with the clotted cream, lemon curd and jelly, raspberry lychee macaron, and lime carrot cake. The not so favorites were the mint pesto cucumber sandwich, the passion fruit tartlet and mochi muffin. They refilled out pots a second time with hot water and staff was super attentive. Each of us loved our tea selections! We had a two hour time slot and it was more than enough time to enjoy the tea service. There was a great photo op wall in one of the smaller rooms (different china plates as a background) and the design aesthetic read high tea in some areas. A few years ago it was a boba shop and it still has some remains of that decor and signage - they should fully commit to the tea vibe because it would be stunning if they did. Also it would be great if the staff had a little nicer uniform or dress code as the one that sat us wore a worn hoody. I don't expect formal dress or anything but business casual shirt and/or professional apron would've done the trick.

My wife has been to DOJA Tea Lounge for the afternoon tea -- alas, as an outing with her friends without me, so I hadn't been here yet. But the owners invited us to sit for the grand opening of the 4 course prix fixe dinner menu in late March. As a starting observation, the logistics of getting here and parking are easy! DOJA is located in Tualatin Commons, where there is ample parking including a garage with covered spaces. The restaurant looks out at the small lake in the middle of the Commons and is a very relaxing atmosphere. I've attached pictures of the menu and the items we tried. The starting appetizers were perfectly sized -- delicious and leaving ready for the next item. There was a lightly fried maitake (mushroom) that was so airy; salmon tartare on cucumber that is a nice mix of savory with watery crunch; and chicken liver mousse on crostini that was the right level of mildness to allow the flavor to come through on its own. Next was the salad. The field greens were (we learned from the owners) freshly harvested from a local farm. I like vinaigrette dressing as it is, but what this salad stand out were the sunflower seeds and the watermelon radish. I've never heard of watermelon radish, but it looks cool and here it was thin slices that were crisped to add texture to the salad. Then came the entrees. I ordered the steak and my wife ordered the salmon, but we shared so that we got to try both. I rarely eat steak these days, but I do remember how medium rare steak can really hit the spot. This steak might have verged on rare, and it was wonderful. Cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly. As for the salmon, which I love, I find that many places overcook it to where it is a bit tough. Not so here. Somehow the chef was able to prepare it so that the meat was tender while the skin was crispy. This is the way salmon should be prepared! Finally, the dessert was a great way to finish the meal with a combination of the dark chocolate cake, the sweet caramel sauce, and the sweet/tart charred citrus fruit slices. There were suggested wine taste pairings for each of the courses, but we don't drink alcohol, so they offered us tea. And since this is a tea lounge, there were plenty of selections. Overall, it was a relaxing ambience, and because it wasn't that busy, one of the owners (who was bringing the dishes out and clearing the used plates) spent time chatting with us about their business and future plans. They're nice people with an interesting story. This is definitely worth checking out!

Such a cute and fun place to have some tea. My friend booked an appointment at opening (for 5) and we were seated right away. She had booked a gluten free menu for me. There was no one else inside. The server immediately came over and introduced what teas were being offered on the menu. There was a wide variety and I got the oolong tea. It was milky and creamy (by nature). You can get cream and sugar if you want. There was constant hot water refills just because it was so great on a cold fall morning. I wish I took a picture of the setup but I was just so excited that they prepared a completely gluten free menu for me. Just like the other neatly, tiered snacks, there was also the same for me. I was thrilled to see a place like this offer gluten free options for me. The snacks were endless and we weren't able to eat all of them. They even had a gluten free scone and toast. I felt very included because you wouldn't normally find a place like this. For all the gluten free people, come here! I would definitely come back here again. It was a great experience :)

We had a family gathering in Portland, and all the sisters and our mom decided to have an afternoon tea time! Our sister found DOJA Tea Lounge and we were all interested in the Asian-inspired flavors sprinkled into the menu. They rotate menus seasonally, so be sure to check out what they have in store! - PARKING - There's a parking lot across the pond - just beware of any limited-time spaces! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - We had a reservation right when they opened at 11am, and were promptly seated once we walked in. They have an extensive menu of teas to choose from, but you're only allowed to pick one and are unable to switch it out. Luckily since we had 4 of us, we all picked something different and were able to share that way. After they received our tea orders, they prepared the tiered bites and we were served shortly after. There's private rooms available, one of which was being used for a baby shower! The rest of the business is quite small, fitting only a few 2 or 4 person tables inside. - FOOD/DRINK - The teas were quite nice, and they made sure we waited 2 minutes for the tea to properly steep with a timer. They do come around with hot water in case you need a refill! There were a few things that stood out to me, a few things that were just OK, and one or two things that weren't the best. I really enjoyed the tea sandwiches - all of them had a unique flavor profile! I also liked their Choux Puff, which was very light and airy. The scones were just OK as it was very hard on the outside, but the clotted cream and curd made it better. I also felt the mini cakes were a hit or miss depending on the flavor. The Red Wine Pear Panna Cotta was my least favorite thing as the pear was soaked in red wine and was overwhelming. It was hard to get over that flavor to enjoy the rest of the dessert. - OVERALL - A nice way to enjoy an afternoon with your girlfriends, sisters, or other family members. I would definitely check their menu to see if there's anything you're interested in first, so you know what you're getting yourself into!
