If all vegetarian food were this good, I'd give up meat for good (except bacon, of course). And Cha-Ya's food is not just one dimensionally good: I love the senropen salad, but everything on the menu is great, and everything unique.
Dinged a star for being understaffed, and for the occasional sub-par ingredient.
I am not a vegetarian per se, but I like to try vegetarian restaurants. This restaurant apparently only serves vegan dishes. I ordered the Kinoko Udon- Mushroom Medley and it was delicious. I am a huge fan of mushrooms as it is my favorite vegetable.
The vegetarian roll was very unappetizing. It was bland and I could hardly digest it.
The wait is usually long and its one of the most cramped restaurants I've ever eaten at. The restaurant ambiance does not live up to the prices they charge.
Ever want to convince someone vegetarian food is tasty? Suggest Cha-Ya.
It's sort of pricey, a meal for two can cost up to $60 dollars, but it makes a great place for a special birthday treat or celebration. I took my vegan friend there for her college graduation and I was hooked.
Atmosphere, eh not so romantic, but very thoughtful when considering your love one's dietary needs. Plus Cha-ya has menu that you, your dinning partner and your taste buds will appreciate.
Three cheers for Cha-Ya! Oh, and five stars.
YUM! Came here for dinner a couple of nights ago for the first time and the food was very tasty (even for my non-vegetarian boyfriend). The prices are a little high, but the food comes quickly, service is prompt, and the food tastes fantastic. Definitely better than run of the mill Berkeley food. Arrangement of the food is nice too. Minus one star because the atmosphere isn't really classy enough for the prices they charge, but I would still recommend this place for a lunch or casual dinner.
Fan b/c its vegetarian (vegan?) and the food is good. The service is fine, not super friendly but not rude. The atmosphere is nothing to write home about. But most things I've had here are good and its rare to find truly vegetarian Japanese food.
Good food. Bit on the pricey side if you're hungry, and get there early or even before they open as there's always a long wait. Good news they have super fast service. I love the Senroppon Salad and get every time. Menu can be a bit confusing the first time (or 2nd/3rd), be careful as it's easy to overspend. Combo dishes are the way to go.
I had been wanting to go to Cha-Ya in Berkeley for a while, then one night I just decided that I was going to make the trek and that I didn't care if it was a let down I had to know for myself just how good the food there was. So my partner and I packed up the car and began driving to Berkeley. The restaurant was easy to find, but parking was a little more tricky. I got a spot about a block away and we walked on down to get ourselves some grub.
Once inside this tiny little shop I began to notice that it was packed with folks on dates, but it wasn't too loud. We sat down at the counter and got menus fairly quickly. I ordered a soup and have since sampled a few of them here. The food came after about 20 minutes, which felt like forever since everyone else was already eating and I was starving.
I had the Curry and tofu. It was good, but it had nothing special or out of the ordinary. It tasted like a curried ramen chicken broth. The ingredients were all fresh and yummy, but in all honesty it's something I could have made at home. The Kinoko, (Mushroom) on the other hand was a much better choice by my partner. She was nice enough to share some and the vegetables were great. We had red bean puree dish with mochi for desert and while I don't especially like red beans, it was pretty rich so I ate a few spoonfuls before relinquishing my spoon and the rest to my partner.
All and all, this spot was nice, but not worth the travel. The service was good, but the food took a while. The atmosphere is decent and the crowd is normal as can be. I will probably go back if I am in the neighborhood, but I don't think it's worth the drive from San Leandro. At least not on a Friday night when I'm tired. If you are in the area and haven't been Cha-Ya is a great stop to try out.
CHAD
Best miso soup of all time. Affordable.
The only thing that is not perfect about Cha-Ya is the wait staff. They're are not the most pleasant bunch, but they're not horrible either. But, honestly, when the food is this good, who cares!?
Even the simplest rolls, like the shitake & avocado uramaki rolls, are crazy good. Then you move on to the more complex rolls like the Cha-Ya roll - a deep fried roll of deliciousness. Yeah, that's right, deep-fried. It's worth every stinkin' calorie. Trust me.
Do you need about 72 servings of veggies crammed into one roll? Garden roll, baby. Or the Vegan roll, whatevs. Oh, I see, you're in the mood for some asparagus and yam...get a Shattuck roll, duh!
I'm not vegan. I like regular ol' sushi, you know, the fishy kind, but I still love Cha-Ya's ultra-vegan menu.
The atmosphere here is great. It's always bustling and you can tell that everyone around is in the same state of sushi bliss as you are.
Veg-mazing. I am an avid meat eater and I love Cha Ya. Any of the soup with udon noodles. The fried tofu is grand. Summer green roll, portabella mushrooms and tofu tempura. Close your eyes and point at something on the menu and you are going to be very happy.
this place has gotten insanely expensive in the last year. my last meal here was:
plain house miso soup
steamed rice
uramaki roll
and with tax and modest tip the total was 18 bux! and i was drinking water!
bay area yuppies win again. this place is yours and yours alone now :/
(this review is for Berkeley Cha-Ya only)
For some reason, anything with soup or broth base at this branch of Cha-Ya gives me horrible stomach upset, without fail. I can have their soup at any of the other branches, no problem. It's a little weird and makes me wonder what is going on in the kitchen. I'm also upset that Cha-Ya uses C&H sugar, which is processed with bone char filters and is not vegan. And after doing well enough to open two San Francisco branches, I think Cha-Ya's next investment should be in a larger East Bay location. It's impossible to eat here if you have more than 4 people in your party.
That said, the food that actually is vegan and won't shred your stomach is delicious, and the atmosphere is nice and very clean. The prices are a bit higher but you definitely get what you pay for in terms of quantity, quality, and presentation. It's a great place to eat if you're going solo and would like to just sit at the counter reading a book.
The menu at this restaurant looked so amazing: so many creative twists on Japanese and vegetarian dining. The Agedashi Tofu ( Deep- Fried Tofu) was essentially a soup of four large pieces of tofu with some hijiki seaweed; it wasn't very gingery. My friend ordered the Cha-Ya roll, which includes yams and avocados. It was drenched in the "house sauce" and was consequently quite heavy. Interesting taste but not the type of thing you'd want to eat without breaking it up with other flavors. I got the Taku-Sui, which was a flavorless broth with minimal noodles. It does have a lot of vegetables in it, so it felt healthy. But it wasn't what I expected.
It took a long time to get more water and to get the bill.
I liked the atmosphere and smallness of the restaurant. One can watch her sushi being made, too.
If I were to come here again, I'd totally try anything but what I ordered this past time.
Vegan sushi. WTF! Who comes up with this sh*t? My original thoughts came across as rip-off, WTF, are u serious, and how will this be good?
Well shit on me because actually coming here and trying the rolls has turned my whole outlook around. Never would I have thought that veggie rolls could make an impact on my life but the way that the rolls were put together was pure deliciousness. The Summer Green Roll was balls-on delicious.
Don't come here with a party of peeps because the whole place only fits about 15 and expect to wait outside for a table.
Super impressed by veggies here. A must try for vegetarians and not.
Cha-Ya is definitely worth the wait, every time. The food is delicious with subtle flavors and textures. The vegetables are cooked perfectly, which I cannot say for 90% of restaurants out there. The food is clean and nutritious. Even though it gets packed, I find the atmosphere there also really calming. Eating there is an enjoyable experience.
I've passed this place many times, never inspired enough to go in. I passed it again last night with my friend and told him, I always go back to the same good places but sometimes I want to be adventurous and try something new.
"Lets be adventurous," he says.
And the result is a pretty ambivalent review. I ordered one of their $20 dinner specials that comes with soup and salad. Entrees were Moon Cake and a Portobello mushroom tempura with kiwi sauce (sounded interesting).
The Moon Cake was awesome. I applaud them for that.
Everything else was okay, but was so rushed! The waitress was clearly impatient: we came in at 8:30 and I guess the place closes at 9:30? But still, I had barely eaten my salad when all the food was there. Everything got cold because I couldn't eat it fast enough. Two people ran the food out and both had sour demeanor. The checks were slapped down on all of the tables at one point, and the place was still quite full. I don't like seeing people with mouthfulls of food being shoved the check...
And the mushroom and kiwi sauce was weird.
So I'd only go back for the Moon Cake. It wasn't the dining experience that makes me like a place but the food is decent.
My roommate and I were craving for a clean and refined vegetarian dinner last night and lucky us, we live right next to the line of restaurants along shattuck in north berkeley.
Small, homie and clean-- cha-ya is a nice place for a couple to have dinner in. It seemed as though the sushi bar felt communal, people were sitting right next to each other. The sushi bar was packed last night and a couple of people had to wait outside to get their seats. I'm sure it was all worth the wait because of the food.
We had mushroom soup, an avocado roll and a sushi bowl. I was not that big of a fan of the sushi bowl. The ingredients listed on the menu were overwhelmingly packed and I have never even heard of most of them-- one of the reasons why I tried it-- when do you usually get to eat 15 kinds of vegetables in one plate for dinner?
Their vegetables were fresh and well prepared . Flavors were very clean and mild. I felt good after eating... it satisfied my palette without having to eat something gritty for the night :]
Honestly, sometimes I think that the food in Berkeley is enough of a reason for me to move back. After living in Los Angeles for year, deterred by my mom's method of cooking greens and the plain fact that for many Angelenos, vegan food means imitation meat or salad, I find that most of my diet consists of soy, meat or carbs. This is why Cha Ya is so good. They make eating veggies tasty and hearty.
Even though I live in a neighborhood where Japanese expatriots are abound - and with them Japanese restaurants and supermarkets, I have yet to find anything like Cha Ya.
I doubt you can go wrong with anything at Cha Ya, but if you're going to come here, I'd steer you towards their broiled veggies or their veggie soup. Sushi is not a stand out.
So there I am, hanging out in Tilden Park with my friend, and we are talking about what to do next, of course there is the obligatory trip to the mecca of madness, Emeryville store-town USA, to find underbuilt and overpriced cellphones at Sprint, when all of the sudden, the old hunger monster begins his slow assault on my friends system.
My friend, being a vegan, just did not seem up to my usual haunts of blood and guts beef and pork emporiums, hm, go figure. So she suggests one of her favorite locals in the Peoples Repubic of Berkeley, Cha-Ya.
Having had a couple of very nice vegan dinners, one in which I cooked for her, I thought, why not. Well, this was without a doubt the best move I have made in many a years. Cha-Ya is amazing. Super duper crowded, but, well, well, well, worth the wait.
The flavors, consistancies, and quality of food care and preparation were as good or better than some of the best "regular" Japanese restaurants that I have ever been to in the City. We both had the tofu soup w/ vegetables, she has the soba noodles, I had the udon, and we shared a plate of sushi. Everything was divine, and I will be going back often. Don't get me wrong, I am still a dedicated mega-vore on a strict "see food" diet (I see food, I eat it), but, vegan or not, this place is just plain GREAT!
Joe Bob sez Check it Out!
Cha-Ya was one of my all-time favorite restaurants. I first started going there when they first opened and no one knew about it. That lasted for a few months, then you had to wait on the sidewalk for a half hour to get a seat at the bar!
It really was exceptional. When I first went there, there was an old man doing all the cooking. Everything was not only incredibly delicious, but the plating was superb.
Somewhere along the line, the master chef was replaced with less experienced people... but the food was still pretty darn good. Not exactly to the pinnacle flavors that the master chef reached, but 90-95% of the way there.
Now they have some Latinos doing the cooking, who I suspect have never been to Japan... or culinary school. The food is still good, but not exceptional. Perhaps because of my high expectations my disappointment seemed worse than it would have if I first ate there.
What I found most annoying was the "chef" that was working in front of me at the bar, despite the sign on their wall that bans the use of cell phones, was talking on his bluetooth the entire time that my friend were eating there. It was obvious to me that the food was suffering because this guy was talking on his phone, talking about non-sense rather than paying attention to the food he was preparing.
Hopefully the master chef will return and fire that guy.
I regretfully can only give Cha-Ya three stars. I'll try it again in 6 months or so, hopefully I can give them five at that time. I miss the old Cha-Ya.
errrrrrrrrr, I LOVE this place ever since I discovered it!!!
When my friends came to visit and I offered to take them to this Japanese restaurant (while they know I am vegan), and they were like, omg surprised!
and they were really omg surprised and delighted with the food they had at Cha-Ya.
Sushi was great, miso soup was tasty and flavorful, and just about everything we ordered we enjoyed so much that we almost had to give up the ice cream later
doesn't matter how many times I visit, I still always love it!
Just remember, if it's during lunch time, you gotta get there early otherwise it takes long; and if it's dinner time, please get there early too!
The space is quite small, but lovely and cozy, not great for group more than 4!
I got the Cha-Ya delight and the only downfall of this dish was the pickled carrots. Blech. Everything about this dish screamed healthiness, I could barely take the blandness of the vegetables. I usually love the dullness of boiled vegetables, but that's only when I'm super healthy and unfortunately I have not been working out regularly so I felt like I couldn't fully appreciate the food that was being served.
The brown rice was wonderfully seasoned and a joy to savor in my mouth.
The food's pretty good (summer green roll, sansai soba + sansai wakame zaru soba), but I didn't quite appreciate the atmosphere.
Feeling a little homesick for Japanese food, I came here with a friend, the other day, and I just didn't feel good vibes. That being said, we had already been given menus and water, so I didn't want to be impolite by just walking out of the restaurant.
I think what put me off was that:
1. It was a bit quiet for me
2. With a small restaurant like that, I think it's only right for the restaurant employees to be more warm/home-y to their customers
3. I don't want to sound mean, but the fact that 5 out of 6 people working weren't Japanese, and were kind of fooling around in the back of the kitchen just kind of put me off.
That being said. It's nice to know that I can enjoy my japanese food but still keep my vegetarianism, unlike at home where my mother still makes miso soup with bonito broth.
Its incredibly difficult for me to order at Cha-Ya because everything is so fantastic! Seriously, I love it all. Especially ALL of the rolls and the buckwheat soba salad - not only is it delicious but its practically art its so beautiful! My dining companion and I tried the yellow moons for dessert - I loved the subtle sweetness of the fried banana topped with adzuki bean sauce and the mild bitterness of the green tea - a great balance of flavor and texture.
Parking Tip: After something like 6:00, the bakery next door closes and that means you can park in the parking lot behind Cha-Ya. Not to say its legal (read the signs) but you can probably get away with it.
THIS IS VEGAN AT ITS BEST.
Everything is delicious here. I love getting Udon and some rolls. Then top it all off with their "ice cream sunday."
It's safe to say this is my favorite vegan restaurant. I wish I could afford to eat there tonight.
Nice restaurant. It has variety and it's own specialties, it's vegan, sushi, and japanese style food!! (Soo exciting!)
Everything generally is quite pleasing. I gave it 4 stars because..
The food is "just right!", but not "perfect"; almost all foods have a stronger flavor (stronger sour-salty, but they include every flavor). The waitress gives nice service but felt a little stoic. The restaurant is small and receives the just enough of sun. The portions are also "just right" to make you full, but not too full; usually I like to enjoy smaller portions of foods I enjoy. It was nice.
I don't know how they do it... make Japanese vegan food so good you don't even miss the meat/fish. Really! And I'm not vegan. They serve this tofu custard thingee that really hits the spot on cold nights. Also they put the cutest little mushrooms and spicy daikon sprouts in their soups. Yum.
I've had better. This place got great reviews, and it's nearby, so we figured we'd check it out one night when we had a craving for Japanese.
Maybe I'm missing something, or didn't order the right items, but really the this place just wasn't that great, and pricey to boot.
it's important to say, however, that the miso soup was delicious! really great. but not a reason to return.
the menu was a little confusing with the two-entree-special and having to pick what two we wanted. since we wanted miso and salad, it seemed like the best deal to just do the dinner special (even though all my husband wanted as an entree was tempura).
the tofu custard thing wasn't bad (it was weird having hot cucumbers, but they weren't bad), although it was filling. the noodle thing i got was just too much and i ended up having them package it up to take home. my husband got the same soup and we both picked at it but should have taken that home, too. the plus to this is that i'm not used to eating at vegan restaurants and having TOO MUCH food-- usually i leave hungry. california does vegan food really well!
the jasmine green tea was pretty delicious, and so was dessert. we split a (really really small) sundae with some nifty sauces on it.
i might return to try out their sushi, and some more miso soup. but not for the other entrees.
also, ProTip: prepare for a wait. we went early on a weeknight and waited for a good 40 minutes or so.
holy mother of god.
this is possibly the best restaurant in the universe. everything I have ever had here (& I have pretty much had every item on the very extensive menu) is amazing. it is totally vegan which is a bonus for me, but omnivores love it too. I have brought many many people to worship @ the House of Cha-Ya & they have all left converts.
goma-ae, tempura rolls, tonchi nasu, eggplant nigiri & noodle salad are my faves.
this is also my 7 year old's fave place... especially since they gave her a delicious vegan chocalte cake on her b-day :)
it is a tiny storefront, so there can be a wait & it is Berkeley, so parking can be tricky. totally worth it. cash only for lunch.
My Favorite place to eat in Berkeley.
I love that it's so small, and the whole menu is vegan.
It's the ONLY place that I will actually eat sushi at.
(regular sushi places always use the same knives for eveything so I can never even get an avocado roll cuz it they would tast like fish)
Hence one of the many reasons why I love Cha-Ya.
You can't get deep fried vegan sushi anywhere except here, trust me I've looked! So that was one of the first things I ordered.
Another great thing about this place is that they have alot of Macrobiotic friendly plates.
It's cool because the place is so small that the chefs are actually out in the dining area preparing food as its ordered. It does get a little crowded in there, and you usually have to wait if you show up for dinner on a friday or saturday, but trust me the wait is worth it.
Try the deep fried bananas with green tea sauce for dessert, they're to die for.
Initially tempted to give them a 3 star review, but it wouldn't be fair. I'm not a vegetarian by trade, so I'm not their target market, but admittedly, the dishes they put out here will probably satisfy your vegetarian needs, so I think that merits the 4 star rating.
Japanese and vegetarian are not words usually used together (unless "not" is part of that sentence). But Cha-Ya does have pretty good vegetarian versions of Japanese favorites. Yes, no sushi here, but plenty of veggie rolls. You won't get shrimp tempura, but lots of veggie tempura from here.
I feel the menu lies heavy on frying something or other (lots of veggie tempura everywhere it seems), so there may be guilt from downing lots of fried veggies, but the taste can't be beat! I also personally recommend the seaweed roll, delish.
Vegetarian Japanese is a niche market, the size of the place reflects this, so expect a wait if you're coming at busy hours.
This cute, tiny little restaurant is a great choice for vegetarians, vegans and meat eaters alike. You may not believe me, but even die hard meat sushi fans will enjoy this place.
I would make reservations or show up at a good time, otherwise there is likely to be a decent wait. Also due to the size of the restaurant, you will find yourself very nearly at the same table with those next to you. I think this adds to the atmosphere but some people may be uncomfortable. There is also seating at the sushi bar.
Everything I had was truly excellent. The rolls were well thought out, had fresh ingredients and were quite filling. The prices are reasonable as well.
I highly recommend this place.
Best noodles in the world, nice Japanese-bar-style set-up, and attentive staff. Try the potstickers (gyoza) for a true kick in the mouth. The tempura (and tempura sticks) are also great. But try the homemade noodles, for sure. My absolute favorite noodle shop, and I'm so lucky that there are two within driving distance of my home (Berkeley & SF).
This place is tiny, so you need to plan well in order to not wait outside forever. Luckily when I went, we didn't need to wait long.
Despite not being a vegetarian or vegan, I have seen this place consistently reviewed well, so I wanted to check it out. I got the mushroom medley tempura which was great. We shared the Cha-Ya roll, which I enjoyed, but the ginger flavor in the sauce was nearly overpowering. My friend got Japanese curry ramen, which was quite good; I really like Japanese curry.
Service was good, and the price wasn't too bad. Definitely check it out if you're in the area!
my favorite restraunt. EVER!!!!!!!!!
im vegan, and japanese food is my favorite.
BUT, it doesn't automatically get my favoritism because of that.
i've definitely had crappy vegan japanese food.
this place is honestly amazing.
Wasn't disappointed in the food, but the server's are grumpy.
Also seemed put out by having to write separate checks.
I love Japanese food and to find a Japanese restaurant that is vegetarian/vegan to suit my parents and relatives that were visiting out of town was quite unique. So, of course my sisters and I had to take them there and try it. Since we had a party of 12, we made reservations even though they were a bit reluctant to give it to us because they don't take reservations. Somehow we were able to do so. It's also CASH ONLY, credit cards are not accepted even for bigger parties.
The service was average. Not as attentive in removing the empty dishes on the tables and refilling our water. I don't understand why not though because it is a small restaurant. When we ordered the food, we ordered it by number (like #13-dengaku). We just said #13 because it seemed confusing for the waitress and for us. When the food came out, they announced the dish in Japanese, but our party didn't remember the dish's name, other then the number and some of the dishes that came out didn't seem like what they ordered. It was quite confusing!
As for the food, we had many dishes, salads, and rolls. I would have to say all their special rolls were a good (big) size and they were pretty tasty. I don't remember one of the salad's names (it was like shredded vegetables with white vinegar I believe), but that lacked taste. I just wanted to add either salt or the other salad dressing on top. I wasn't able to try all the other 11 dishes that people ordered, but the food looked very healthy! My eggplant and tofu was ok. The miso sauce on top of these two were a bit thick and strong. I think if the miso sauce was a bit thinner, it would be better. Or I would have liked to have my tofu with miso and the eggplant with another sauce, so there could be more than one taste on the plate.
Overall, I think it's pretty healthy. I would come here again and try some more dishes, but I would also like to see more from them. I think this place has so much more potential than what it's now.
The only all vegan Japanese restaurant/sushi bar. An absolute favorite. Make sure you show up early, maybe 5 to 10 minutes before they open, cause if not you'll be waiting for a while to get a table.
I love Asian cuisine and especially Japanese/Thai and sushi. Its a shame that Thai vegan places kind of dominate the vegan market as far as restaurants go, and most of them serve the same or similar options that dont really stand out. there is one place in SF i love though.....
Anyway, i have ordered a variety of things and never been disappointed. they have great service, a polite (although quiet) staff, and fantastic prices, especially for some of the dinner combinations.
Ive always been tempted to get the cha ya roll (an entire sushi roll battered and fried, but i worry about my health being that ive gotten skinny for the first time in my life.
go here with a friend, ora girl on a date, or maybe bring a coworker to discuss business over great cruelty free Japanese food.
All in all, fantastic. my only gripe is i wish there was more seating options.
For people who love vegetarian and japanese food, this is the place for you. All the food is top quality with interesting textures and great flavors. Ask for the popular menu (it's a list of their top 10). Off the list I got the cha-ya roll and stuffed eggplant. The eggplant was my favorite among the 2. It had japanese stuffing (beans and whatnot) stuffed into an eggplant shell and then deep fried on the outside. Crunchy outside, moist inside. The cha-ya roll was similar but to be honest, not as interesting (just a veggie roll that is also deep fried). Everything has a light taste. All in all, my girlfriend loved it and I was ehhhh... but that's because I like strong tastes (she says my taste buds are just shot and need either really sweet or really salty). Oh well.
Just like all the other reviewers, I love the food here. (26Dec08) I met a friend here for a late lunch after having been away from the Bay Area for a couple of years. The luxury of having so many vegan choices, prepared so artfully and with such savoryness, WOW, it is simply divine.
Please note what everyone is saying, THE PLACE IS VERY VERY SMALL. They do have another outlet in SF with a more spacious dining area, go there if you have a party larger than 3, limited time or are chewing table legs to abate your hunger pangs. Otherwise, wait for another day when those aren't your current conditions.
A large bowl of Soba noodle soup with a nice variety of veggies is $7.50.
A 14oz pot of tea (good selection and taste) is $2.00.
An appetizer plate of 6 small potstickers is $5.00.
Almost everyone in here speaks Japanese, seemingly as their primary language, so enjoy feeling that for a brief moment, the world is not populated only by English speakers. Dang that feels good. It may effect communicating for your meal, but STAY POLITE, they are Japanese and place a high priority on it.
Oh, and don't forget to sign in outside if there are no empty seats.
Truly, a unique and DEElicious experience!!!!!!!!!
