Cha-Ya Vegetarian Japanese Restaurant

The vege-tofu curry soup with soba noodles is delicious as are the goma-ae and cha-ya roll! If you're unsure of what to order, ask your waitress ; They're friendly and helpful for navigating the menu.

Third time here. We all order and share. It's so delicious, you can't go wrong. Pumpkin soup -- don't miss. Shattuck role amazing. Stargazer also tremendous!

You don't have to be vegetarian or vegan to love Cha-Ya's delicate Japanese dishes , which stick to fresh ingredients and simple compositions that show off the vegetables and fruits on your plate. Read more

Every thing is awesome. Save room for sake , try the kinoko mushroom soup and sample some sushi . Going w a few other peeps helps on the sampling bit, but great even on your own.

This vegetarian joint is a classic hit for vegans . Sushi rolls options like the vegan roll, and the legendary soba salad , are just two of an array of delicious dishes that won't disappoint. Read more

8 of us ate here to celebrate a birthday. The food and the service were amazing. Try the curry , you won’t regret it!

A gem in the Mission, incredible Japanese vegan food . The mushroom miso soup & Starlight Roll were delicious. Good service ; love this place. A+++

The vegan Japanese restaurant 's namesake dish (the Cha-Ya Roll) is a sushi roll stuffed with asparagus , avocado , yam , and carrots , battered and tempura-fried, then drizzled with a sweet sauce .

I love this place. I think I've gotten the mushroom udon twice because it's so delicious, but I've tried other things, and they are also wonderful.

Mushroom medley soup with iron noodles was fantastic

If you're vegan , don't skip the gyoza app - which is rarely vegan at other spots. The curry veg noodle soup is another staple.

I love everything they're doing here, but honestly the flavors aren't as great as I hoped. Tempura batter on rolls was cake-like and held a lot of oil, and the curry soup was too salty + lacked flavor

Vegan Udon is to die for and now our ramen dreams are not dreams any longer ????

Cash only and super friendly staff . Dishes taste fresh and don't leave me with that gross, heavy, full feeling.

Great place if you like vegan sushi . Their cha-Ya rolls are really good. However, the best part of the menu was agedashi tofu

There is so much choice here that it's almost overwhelming for the typical veg*n who only reads a small subset of the menu. I often go here to satisfy noodly cravings.

The food here was so amazing I forgot there wasn’t any meat. Get the agedashi tofu and the eggplant dish .

i recommend the special miso soup and the shira-ae salad , which is a variety of veggies with a delish tahini miso sauce .

start with the cold soba noodles , my fav! curry soup or any roll then, its all so clean and good.

Veggie nigiris were unimpressive, but the noodles , tempura and rolls are excellent.

I really like the veggie gyoza because the come with a mini side of asparagus tips in sesame sauce .

Gyoza and noodles were tasty! Loved the miso soup , too. Their mushroom sushi ???? wasn’t worth it.

loved the mushroom medley with soba and sake flight! cash only and the atm charges a fee, so come prepared

Good, quick service . The Starlight and the Garden Roll are sublime. Never had such good vegitarian food.

Surprisingly delicious Japanese food . Everything here is vegetarian yet the selection of food is endless.

i love the special miso soup and the shira-ae salad . their tempura is great too.

Soba salad was delicious, unconvinced by the tofu stew

Vegan gyoza are the best!

Japanese cuisine endowed with a vegetarian and vegan sensibility, very fresh and calming .

I just ate the best udon soup I've ever had. Definitely try the mushroom udon .

This place was busy even though it was cold out. People stood happily in line for over 1/2 hour. Good pot stickers . Very, very good tempura -- fresh vegetables . Yellow moon friend banana dessert is al Read more

Pumpkin curry soup ! Dumpling soup ! Avocado topped sushi roll !

Amazing find! Everything is veggie :) Be prepared to be overwhelmed by the menu.

Pretty filling. The Cha-Ya roll is delicious, especially since it's tempura-fried.

This sake was really tasty, whether hot or cold.

Yasai soba was very light and fresh. You can't go wrong with the sushi either.

Are you concerned veggie sushi you've had at other restaurants may have touched dead fish ? No worries here - it's all vegan ! And plenty of choices!

Everything we tried was delicious, especially the gyoza .

One of my favorite places to eat in the mission

Miso Soup was really good but the Rolls where kind of disapppointing. If you are not a veggie/vegan try one rather go to one of the indian or thai places arround!

Dig the Yasai soba noodles . Tasty healthy hearty lunch on a cool day. Let's hope we have a few more of those this winter.

Excellent vegan gyoza . The curry is delicious.

Like doilies? Get the vegan cake to-go.

Great food, good choices, great service, fun but unamazing menu

Surprisingly not bad for veg Japanese food . Rolls are tasty but small portions. Noodle broth is mushroom based- lots of umami

The kinoko miso soup is awesome. Remember to bring cash.

The miso soup here is delicious. It's the best miso soup I've had! Nice and warm on a cold SF day and extremely flavorful!

Gyoza and tempura are wonderful.

Delicious cha-ya nabe soup . The portions are big!

The vege tofu curry is seriously incredible. Dat broth.
