Reviews for Cha-Ya in Berkeley, CA
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 it's pricey, and it can be, but to us the price is well worth it. The products are exceptional, as is the culinaryquality 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! Read more
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?! Read more
Probably the best Japanese restaurant I've eaten at. I've 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. Read more
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. Read more
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. Read more
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 notgreat. The soup was really salty. Prices are reasonable. Read more
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 day vegetable tempura - 10/10 standard. delicious!! they use asparagus and string beanswhich is not typical for veg tempura soba - 10/10 good both with or without soup! the soup has a really tasty and comfortingbroth. i usually add kitsune (sweet tofu pouch) to the soup soba salad - 10/10 beautiful and soooo good. makes for reallyimpressive photos and tastes really refreshing. this is literally the only salad i?ve ever enjoyed with sliced strawberries ihave to come back more to try everything else!!
