Cha-Ya is a cozy vegan Japanese restaurant in San Francisco that serves delicious comfort food. The menu is entirely plant-based, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions. Customers enjoy the kind staff and recommend dishes like shira-ae, curry udon, and the Cha-Ya roll. The restaurant offers a weekday lunch special for $16 with three small plates such as Wakame soup, agadashi tofu, and the Cha-Ya roll. Customers praise the high-quality vegan sushi, highlighting the wide selection of flavors and the use of vegetables and tofu instead of alternatives. The service is excellent, with helpful waitstaff who provide details about the production process of sake. The menu features a variety of choices, including the kabocha squash roll, kitsune soup, and black sesame mochi for dessert. While some customers find the food to be a bit bland, the overall atmosphere is peaceful, and the restaurant provides a wide range of healthy options.
