Best place to eat vegetarian Japanese food. Everything that we tried was amazing. Sushi was gone in seconds and we ended up reordering twice.

Superb food if you like veggie Japanese food this is the best. 4 ⭐ instead of 5, because they dont have credit or debit card, only cash or Venmo. There is also an ATM there, but I prefer not to use it and use that surcharge for tips.

Amazing vegetarian food, flavorful but without any fat. A large variety of soups for a cold day, the menu itself is huge and has a lot of options.It is a bit sad inside, maybe some music would make the ambiance better.It is cash or Venmo only.

It was okay but with so many great places in the neighborhood I probably won’t come back. We had the Cha-ya roll and the sansai noodles. The roll was okay but the batter was quite thick, not light and fluffy like great tempura. The sauce was okay but not great. The soup was really salty. Prices are reasonable.

Love love love this place so much thank u. my only really big issue is that they’re cash only and a little pricey. if they took card i would eat here every single dayvegetable tempura - 10/10standard. delicious!! they use asparagus and string beans which is not typical for veg tempurasoba - 10/10good both with or without soup! the soup has a really tasty and comforting broth. i usually add kitsune (sweet tofu pouch) to the soupsoba salad - 10/10beautiful and soooo good. makes for really impressive photos and tastes really refreshing. this is literally the only salad i’ve ever enjoyed with sliced strawberriesi have to come back more to try everything else!!

To me, Cha Ya Berkeley is the best restaurant in the world, and I am truly not exaggerating. I have tried many vegan restaurants globally, and the beauty, attention to detail, and pure deliciousness (not to mention wholesome healthfulness) are unparalleled. You may think its pricey, and it can be, but to us the price is well worth it. The products are exceptional, as is the culinary quality and craftsmanship. My partner and I are regulars--we have been going weekly for over two years, and every single time, we are blown away. Thank you Cha Ya Berkeley!

I love this vegan establishment with exquisite presentation. Highly recommend moon garden with bean curd (the mushrooms were cutely planted in the garden!) It’s so hard to find such a restaurant without excessive salt and oil. I could eat here everyday.

What a treasure! I love Japanese vegetables and they are sorely missing in many Japanese restaurants. I learned to cook many of these dishes more than 20 years ago. This brought back many fond memories. Each dish is a treasure trove of flavors. Awesome!

Review №13

2018-08-02 16:46:58

Definitely just missed the mark for me. As a meat lover reviewing a vegetarian and vegan restaurant, the flavors for the food have to be very savory and almost meat like to satisfy my craving and hunger. I ordered the dengaku which is organic tofu and eggplant and while Im impressed by how large the eggplant steak was, you dont get much food for how much you pay. Its not a good value for money. The miso sauce over the eggplant was very one dimensional and didnt offer much complexity of flavor.

Consistently good even though not the original owners. A good variety of vegan Japanese ...nicely presented..somewhat mirroring Japanese Buddhist monk food.Reasonably priced.

The best vegetarian sushi in the Bay Area. Their food tastes homemade and it feels very good for your body.

Review №21

2022-09-09 22:10:14

Food is wonderful. 4 stars as they have only 2 tables outside which pretty much means you have to take it to go and well sushi is usually a meal you like to sit and eat fresh. Otherwise great tasting and friendly staff. Be aware cash or Venmo only…!

Review №22

2022-07-01 21:53:36

Probably the best Japanese restaurant Ive eaten at. Ive been multiple times, and every dish is amazing. In particular, their broth is incredible, they do eggplant really well, and they have a great variety of unique sushis.

Getting our food took a little less than 10 minutes and it was delicious. The agedashi tofu is the best Ive had and the vegan roll was a great option.

Review №31

2021-01-01 18:13:18

I have only had vegetarian sushi once before in NYC. I had really high expectations from this place and was not disappointed at all. The menu is really huge and should be a delight for all vegetarian folks. My friend and I had the Tempura Roll and Subaru Roll. Personally, I liked the tempura roll over the Subaru Roll. Also, special mention to the Ho ji cha, which was amazingly refreshing.Overall, this place is really good and I would definitely try other options on my next visit here.

Vegan delight! So many dishes I love. If youre into plant based foods and wish Japanese food had more protein options for you, look no further. This place has tons of creative and delicious tofu and soy dishes. If I had to choose, the corn and tofu deep fried roll with peanut sauce is my fave. I love the roasted eggplant dishes, the moon tofu custard, even the mushroom noodles are great. Yum!One note: Cash only, but they have an atm in the restaurant that will charge $3 to give you cash.

*CASH ONLY* Incredible, top notch vegan sushi. The Shattuck Roll is our favorite, but also love the Vegan Roll and the avocado/cucumber. Cant wait to return.

Review №36

2017-01-20 22:47:35

Absolutely fab, I went here for lunch with my Mum. Delicious food, friendly service and a reasonable price, as a vegetarian and someone with a serious nut allergy we were both very well catered for! All dishes are vegan and prepared with care. Lovely taste and presentation, and big portions, I especially recommend the Chaya roll.

Review №37

2016-08-07 19:51:26

This restaurant is absolutely essential for vegetarians and vegans, and a delightful treat for the rest of us! The food was delicious, the presentation was elegant, and the vegetarian in our party was overjoyed to be able to order anything on the menu. The flavors were subtle and well-balanced. We were visiting Berkeley from Bloomington, Indiana based on a family friends hearty recommendation, and were not disappointed in the slightest. We would certainly dine here again. Please note, however, that only cash is accepted.

Review №38

2020-01-01 01:02:41

Cash only. Their menu is nice, the selections seemed promising. I ordered a Summer Veggie Roll. It wasnt bad but didnt really have any flavor. There was soy sauce on the table, but Im not a big fan (I tried it any way.. was mediocre as expected).Aside: I was a bit concerned that the main entrance is chained and padlocked from the outside. It has a fire code label that reads This door must remain unlocked when building is occupied. There wasnt even a courtesy sign saying please use other door. This is clearly illegal; and especially concerning is because there were ~30 patrons in that side of the restaurant whose only obvious exit was through a narrow doorway in the separating wall, past the open kitchen and out the other door. If there were ever a fire in the kitchen it would not end well.

Review №39

2021-01-31 02:25:27

Amazing fresh vegetables, crunchy tempura not oily, great noodle soup. You arent missing meaty savory flavor at all even though its vegetarian! New favorite for when Im in this area.

Review №40

2018-05-14 02:29:11

I hate to give a less than excellent review to a vegan restaurant. The portions are very small, and the prices are very high. If you are obviously on the road, it will be assumed that you are ordering to go. I just want to warn people. The food actually is excellent. Only go if youre a little hungry though. If youre very hungry, go somewhere else. Just please make it vegan.

Review №41

2017-12-16 04:46:22

This is a good place to go if youre craving basic vegan sushi options. The prices are decent and the food is flavorful, though nothing flashy. The service has been pretty good every time Ive been here. Prices are reasonable. They take cash only but they have an ATM machine in the restaurant.

Review №42

2019-02-04 06:06:33

I love that everything is vegetarian in this cozy Japanese restaurant. Most of mainstream Japanese restaurants do not have many vegetarian options, and some treat you like you are from Mars when you ask about their vegi options! Not this place. Tons of options, and you need to go there a lot to try all the menus. Food was delicious, but portions could be larger. Remember to have enough cash on you as this place is Cash only!!! There is a bank with ATM few blocks away if you do not mind the walk.

Review №43

2013-08-11 02:45:30

Love their food! Ive brought so many non-vegetarians here who are blown away by the yumminess. I usually get the tempura soup with udon noodles with is amazing. Its so much soup, I usually have enough for lunch the next day. Their sushi is really good too! Friendly staff and theyve expanded to next door so usually, if there is a wait, its not for too long.

Delicious steamed mushroom buns and unique tasting sushi rolls. I’m obsessed and will be back!!

Review №45

2018-05-17 22:52:15

Absolutely awesome vegan food, great service, reasonable prices for the quality of ingredients and dishes. We had to get back to the theater so we didnt really have enough time to talk/chat... but the feeling at the restaurant is the familiar, kind, comfortable feel that you could talk for hours there. I highly recommend this place, ditto for my dinner companion.

Review №46

2016-12-31 09:38:16

Quickie:+ Probably the only vegetarian Japanese restaurant Ive been to, but I definitely love love love their dishes.---Food:There is nothing better than eating a nice big warm bowl of udon with a side of crispy vegetable tempura on a cold Berkeley evening.Overall:The place is small, no doubt about that (maybe 20 can be seated indoors at one time?). And if you pick a busy night you will be waiting outside as there is no waiting area inside. However that being said - you can bet its worth wait... as Ive waited with friends in the rain before!

Review №47

2018-08-08 23:55:33

Their sushi is more than food it’s a whole experience of flavor and nutrition. My partner and I felt so happy eating this delicious sushi. Best vegan sushi I have ever had!

Review №48

2015-07-02 10:33:51

Overall kind of a lackluster experience.To me the menu seemed kind of limited and uninspired, not a lot that seems creative or inviting. Ended up trying the Soba noodles, and it was just average. Broth OK but not super rich, and the vegetables while nice assortment werent in generous supply.Maybe if you are a Vegan this is an exciting choice to liven up your meal options, but to me it wasnt enough to bring me back across town.

2021-01-26 17:29:45

Cha-Ya is my favorite vegetarian/vegan restaurant!! Their dishes are so carefully made and it always feels like a real treat to dine there (or get take out)! You can tell they put a lot of thought into each dish, for they are all delicious! Highly recommend the Dengaku and Tonchi Nasu. Also, I am so glad to have found a place that uses all paper take-out boxes WITHOUT the plastic lining!

2021-11-12 01:33:35

Really disappointed. Not once. Twice. If you’re GF don’t bother ordering unless you have your own GF soy sauce 🙄. Gf options are sparse and the customer service is non-existent. If I could zero stars I would.

Waste time waste gas money. Web says they close at 8pm. We arrived at 3:03pm and the lady and man take us in. She said they close at 3pm daily. I told her we drove all the way from airport she didnt really care.

Delicious vegan sushi. Try the Cha-Ya roll. Their other foods are lovely as well. Fresh ingredients in tasty combinations. Eat your veggies here!

Review №53

One of my favorite Berkeley restaurants. Where else can you find a vegetarian Japanese restaurant. Their menu is pretty static though, so make sure to check their specials posted on the wall for new dishes.

Review №54

2017-10-28 05:45:52

I went to Cha-Ya tonight and was very excited to find a place that has vegan and vegetarian food.Looking at the menu guessed there will be sesame seed in some of the food they makeAsked our server before ordering if they could keep an eye on the ingredients and watch out for any sesame seeds or sesame oil as I am deathly allergic to it.Our waitress assured us that there will be no sesame seeds/oil in any of our food since we were all sharing...3 out of 4 of our food came first and when finally my food came in to the table we were all done with our food and I found so many seeds in the food :-|When brought to the waitress attention she acted very annoyed and careless and then let us know that there is no way they could separate the seed from the food and that probably there are seeds left on the cutting board...I am very disappointed and upset for the fact that they couldve let us know from the beginning. so I could decide about staying or leaving before ordering so then l wouldnt have to deal with my allergies and having to go to ER ( apparently the food we also shared had sesame seeds in it )The service was below average and the waitress was forgetful... we ordered extra ginger and we never received it and we waited for the bill for over 20 minsVery disappointed- wont come back to this place ever again...

A vegetarians dream sushi place. Much more than cucumber rolls. Rice bowls noodles fabulous! Prices very reasonable. Service was attentive. A great night out!

Review №57

Ive always loved this and the SF locations. Great food, simple environment, friendly service, reasonable prices. Very healthy options can be had as well as decadent fried treats. Try the Moon Garden for something completely different.

The best place. Ive been going for Years and they remember my order and my parents and know the table we like to eat. The food is always amazing and made on time. I could keep going but I shouldnt. So just go. Its really amazing

Review №60

2016-10-16 03:01:07

Sort of boring and bland. There was nothing really outstanding on the menu. The fried spring rolls were pretty bad, no flavor at all, there was no point in eating it at all. I was surprised because Ive been to this place a couple of times before, years ago and the food used to be really good!

Review №61

2017-10-26 16:57:58

Good food, but i spent 20$ for 12 bite size items and wasnt full when i left. Its vegies i dont see why i would leave still hungry. Should be moor for what you spend vegan or not. People think they can charge so much for healthier food. And you still leave hungry unless you get soup im assuming....Smh

An excellent and inexpensive vegan Japanese restaurant. Parking is on the street and theres no WiFi. The atmosphere is definitely on the utilitarian side. But the food is incredible.

Review №66

2018-01-13 05:08:49

The food here is great, its all vegan. I go here all the time with my girlfriend. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is the prices and being cash only. Theres no excuse for being cash only anymore, I mean its 2018 jeez.

Their agedashi tofu was a good, light lunch.

Review №69

2012-10-12 21:56:55

Two thumbs way up!! Easily one of my favorite restaurants in the world, and a reason that Berkeley is king of vegan cuisine. I grew up in Japan, and lemme tell you that the food at Cha-ya blows most of the restaurants I ate at there out of the water. The curry udon especially is a tastebudgasm, and their sushi is the best vegetarian sushi youll find in California.

Huge selection of Japanese dishes tailored to a vegetarian diet. The food was served wonderfully hot and the flavors were standout. I loved it.Warning: Bring cash!

2021-11-28 01:49:09

I got the dinner combo deal but unfortunately they gave me 2 of the same entrée. I hope that there wasnt someone else that got my other dish instead of what they ordered. Theyre super busy, because the food is super good.

Great vegetarian Japanese restaurant. Their fresh noodles are great. Im normally not a fan of buckwheat noodles, but their mushroom soba soup is my favorite.

Review №76

Amazing vegan roll. Great soup. Friendly staff but all cash. They close in the middle of the day so be ready for that. Ton of street parking.

Review №77

2017-07-02 02:05:51

The ChaYa roll is a must get. It is delicious. Food is not greasy. Their tempura and pot stickers (gyoza) are also great. Entire menu is vegan.

Review №78

2016-09-26 07:47:55

Good option for vegan Japanese which isnt typically veg. Though a little bland, to be honest. Great selection of options but the basic dishes werent bursting with flavor.

My favorite (vegan) place in Berkeley hands down. I always get cold soba and eggplant nigiri. Add a cup of miso to whatever your meal is!

Review №82

2019-01-30 17:26:38

Beautifully presented with many vegetables but lacking in flavour. I was excited to try this but was greatly disappointed. Taking into account the quality, definitely not worth the price.

Review №83

2014-08-24 01:50:24

Supremely delicious well executed food. NYC needs a place like this! Similar concepts (like Souen in the Village) fall far short in terms of the quality ingredients and unique taste at Cha-ya.

Review №84

2018-02-26 19:31:10

All kinds of sushi and its ALL vegan! So no more searching the corners of the menu for one or two vegan options. And its all delish! Really glad I found this place.

Cash only vegan sushi restaurant. The food was mediocre, not terrible though. Service was adequate but not amazing, and the place was reasonably clean.

Review №94

2017-06-29 15:43:02

They really try with creative turns on their dishes, but the practice of dining at a sushi restaurant that serves no fish was unsatisfying. The ambiance was nil.
