Jeanelle PetrilloDecember 29, 2012Starry Eye roll was noms. We should have ordered from the recommended list. By the end of the meal everything tasted the same – deep fried and mushy. I am totes not up to being a veggie head.
David SiuJune 27, 2015Tried the "seafood" salad and broiled eggplant, tofu and portobello mushroom. Carefully prepared and simple, but both sauces (sesame and miso) were a tad too strong.
Don't let the tempura lead you astray -- this place is best for super delicious pure veggies. Get the Cha-Ya Delight 9 times out of 10.
SlavaJune 27, 2019This place is more vegetarian than Japanese, unfortunately. And kind of pricey. But food is not bad, so kinda mixed feelings.
Jessica SantascoyApril 5, 2012Tasty but be careful not to burn your tongue. Seriously, the food comes out super hot.
- Beryl LevyJanuary 22, 2011Sea vegetable salad, 3 types of seaweed with mysterious delicious shit on top
Since you've been so good to yourself eating healthy food at Cha Ya, head a few blocks away to Bi Rite Creamery and reward yourself.
Kinoko Soba is something special. Add generous amount of the chili pepper.
Julie HammersAugust 2, 2009Have the kinoko miso or the sansai soba soup. Perfect for foggy days or when you're feeling sick!
April Vee DubMay 14, 2009Order the Vege-tofu curry with udon and slurp up all that delicious broth. YUM.
CaterinaOctober 29, 2013The soba salad was delicious and the miso soup one of the best I've ever tasted (and I'm obsessed with miso soup).
