Cha-ya - Berkeley

Cash only! This restaurant serves incredible vegan sushi that is top-notch. Our favorite is the Shattuck roll, but we also loved the vegan roll and the avocado/cucumber roll. I can't wait to come back.

The vegetarian food at this restaurant is incredible - flavorful without being heavy. They offer a wide variety of soups that are perfect for a cold day and the menu itself has a lot of options to choose from. The atmosphere inside is a bit lacking, but some music could improve it. They only accept cash or Venmo as forms of payment.

I absolutely adore this vegan restaurant with stunning presentation. I highly recommend the "Mond Garden" dish with tofu, as the mushrooms were freshly harvested from their garden. It's rare to find a restaurant that doesn't use excessive salt and oil in their dishes. I could eat here every single day.

Love love this place so much thank u. my only really great thing is that they are just cash and a little expensive. if they take the card, I would eat here every day at a 10/10 standard. tasty! they use asparagus and beans that is not typical of veg tempura soba 10/10 good both with or without! the suppe has a really delicious and delicious broth. I add in the regular kitsune (sweet tofu bag) supp to soup soba salat 10/10 beautiful and soou good. makes for really impressive photos and taste really refreshing. this is literally the only salate I have ever enjoyed with cut strawberries, I have to come again to try everything else!

Food was great! Tasted like real Japanese food even if it was vegan. I loved every dish we ordered. Prices are reasonable. The place is clean. Staff are friendly.
