What Dimaz Narpati dislikes about Cha-ya:
We arrived at 3:03. Happy cow says they close at 8pm. Lady said they close at 3pm and she won't even take us. We drove all the way from airport. It was a 35 mins drive . Waste time waste money . Updated from previous review on 2023-01-09 View all feedback.

I love ChaYa. I have been going to their Valencia location for years. The Vegan Roll is huge and very satisfying. Inari is perfectly sweet and chewy.

Obsessed with the freshness and quality of their food. How do they do it? Goma Ae sauce is addicting. You honestly can go wrong here, everything has been consistently delicious, even the vegan chocolate cake.
