AMAZING vegetarian & vegan restaurant!!(⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)❤️?I’ve been wanting to visit this place since my second year in Berkeley, and I’m glad I finally did!You can tell they made their food with great care and the ingredients are yummy and fresh!The staff are very nice; the vibe inside is clean and chill. This is a great place for you to hang out with a small group of friends or come alone to recharge your mental health (I mean seriously, their food is tasty, healthy, and pretty!)I’d definitely come back very often to try out all other creative cuisines!

This is the place! Whenever I am in the area, I make it a point of visiting this place. The menu dishes are inventive and go beyond standard Japanese fare like sushi. I love that everything is vegan and that the menu is so expansive. Food comes out quickly and the prices are reasonable.They take venmo for payment, no credit card!

baby oh
Food here is barely OK, but the price is high for what is offered (much higher than if you get a meal, especially during lunch hours, at the Party Sushi Restaurant within 2 minutes walk.) Cha-Ya only takes cash or Venmo (but no-one told me that when I entered). So if you do not use Venmo and did not bring cash, you will have a hard time after eating. Even if you have your debit card with you, you have to pay extra fee to use the ATM machine there. This may be a great strategy for Cha-Ya to "save" on paying taxes to the IRS and get extra ATM fees but is very inconvenient for consumers.
Really good experience overall. Thoughtfully made food and kind service.

Gyoza, tempura, soba sushi, other sushi, and squash soup - all delicious! I got a big selection of items for a party and everything got eaten. I called when they opened at 5 pm and picked up the order about an hour later.

Superb food if you like veggie Japanese food this is the best. 4 ⭐ instead of 5, because they don't 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.
