TA Izakaya Restaurant in Karlsruhe

Delicious food in a special ambience. Would definitely come by more often. Service was also great. There is one suggestion for improvement and that is a cold protection on the entrance door. We were there in December and there was a lot of cold air coming through the door.

Top restaurant, the food tastes amazing, great tea and very warm and attentive service. I'll be back!

Very good restaurant, great selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. Great drinks and the food is really fabulous. Unfortunately, you sit very close to the next table at the small tables for two.

Highly recommended. Nice atmosphere, friendly service, good menu and very good food. For starters I had a soup with coconut milk and shrimp. For the main course, a bowl with chicken and peanut sauce. Both were served at a perfect temperature on beautiful dishes and tasted very tasty. The sushi as an intermediate course was also very good.

The food at TA Izakaya was absolutely fantastic. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. That said, the service could have been better. I understand the restaurant was busy, but it didn’t feel right to have our appetizers brought out while we were still holding the menu, trying to decide on our main courses. It made the experience feel a bit rushed and uncomfortable. With food this good, I hope the service improves to match it!

Very good, but also very expensive 104 euros for 2 people

Very good! Would like to come again

Very nice restaurant with wonderfully fresh, delicious lunch

The warm rice wine bring me back to life and sushi was awesome, tofu soup was not my favorite because of the fish oil taste but everything was very good

Very nice atmosphere, nice staff and very good food! Recommended!

It's very tasty but it's expensive and I don't think the portion size is justified for these prices. I don't think it's necessary to have a huge portion, it should still fill you up 🫤

Very good food and very friendly service!

Very tasty chicken bowl with crunchy vegetables and rice, attentive and competent service, great ambience. Only recommended.

Here you can get a great meal after a busy day at the trade fair.

Very nice sushi restaurant with good vibes, my girlfriend really enjoyed it during our visit.

Delicious sushi 🍣 - We had Crispy Tiger Roll, California Roll and some classics Nice service and nice ambience

Food definitely 100 out of 10. We love coming here. Furthermore, the service was really phenomenal! Many thanks to Loi <3

Everything was just great! Mega delicious food, wonderful ambience and very friendly staff! The colleague Loi was super nice and understanding 😊 Service was exceptionally fast, even though the restaurant was almost full. So, lucky we live very close and we can go there at any time 😁 Gladly again 🥢🍣🍲

We happened to be there for lunch today while passing through. Nice atmosphere, good service and very tasty food. Price wise too. If I lived in Karlsruhe, I would be a regular guest...

I've been there for dinner several times in the past few weeks. I was really happy with everything. The sushi tastes very tasty, the tofu udon and the chicken bowl are also highly recommended. You won't be disappointed here. The service is also 1a, they understand customer service.

Nice ambience, delicious food, friendly service Lunch time!!!

Delicious food, but we had it within approx 1½ hours with no less than 6 different people serving us, which was a bit confusing.

Very nice staff and fresh products.

It was our first time there, certainly not the last time. We had the 4 person plate for three people. And at the beginning we were a little unsure about the appetizer platter. However, when the main part came, we were amazed, both visually and taste-wise. It was great and totally worth the price.

The food is fine, not too tasty. The atmosphere is good, it’s quiet. The staff is friendly. I intended to give a tip. However, the cashier asked me for a tip and looked down on me before I gave him the tip.

Very chic, illuminated sushi restaurant with a freely visible kitchen and a good selection of very tasty dishes

The food was really tasty. The waiters super friendly. The place is very pleasant. I recommend it 100%!

Nice place to eat well and enjoy a nice ambience. The staff is friendly and considerate.

Being in Karlsruhe, I recommend this restaurant 100%! Magnificent decoration and the dishes are simply incredible! Fresh product and quality service The staff are so lovely, really a 10/10 we can't wait to come back to Karlsruhe just for this restaurant.

The food and ambience were really great. Unfortunately, the service seemed a bit chaotic/overwhelmed, so we were only able to order after an hour.

Dirty table, dirty menu! But the food is really good!! 😀😋

If you want to eat really good sushi, this is the place to eat. But there are also many other delicious Japanese dishes besides sushi 🍣. The service is also very good.

Delicious food, good selection of drinks too. Always my pleasure!!!

Wonderful restaurant. The sushi is first class. There's no better way to eat sushi in Karlsruhe. The ambience of the restaurant is very nice as is the presentation of the plates. Tastes great! Highly recommended.

Chicken and beef bowls recommended

Relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, very good dishes, fair prices. The menus look a bit worn out and the wine list could be expanded. All in all very good - I would go there again.

I have to say I generally never write reviews. But I feel compelled to go to this restaurant because it has quickly become my favorite restaurant. The food is always incredibly tasty and the waitresses are incredibly nice. Great recommendation!!!

Everything is very tasty! Many thanks to the chef and the service!!

Very good quality. Special taste experiences. Friendly staff

Food was an absolute disaster Getting food poisoning from it Not recommended

Cheeky! My wife ordered a vegetarian dish and asked if it was possible to leave out the tofu, unfortunately the dish came with tofu and the waiter asked everyone at our table if they wanted to eat it, how could they pass it on? Furthermore, I went home full. 3 spoons of rice isn't really much.

Had the “fried tofu bowl”. The taste was really good, but there was some salt missing, there was soy sauce instead and that wasn't a problem. The interior design is special and very attractive. The service was also very friendly and the food came within 15 to 20 minutes.

Food is nice. The menu has good variety with food as well as drinks

Great restaurant with super fresh food! Great, very nice and friendly service! Can some people learn something from this!!!!! Always happy to come back!!!!!!

Gleich vorab: Mit aktuell 4,5 Sternen ist das Restaurant meiner Meinung nach unterbewertet. Ich gebe klare 5/5 Sterne und der Schnitt der Bewertungen sollte sich auf lange Sicht auch nicht auf weniger als 4,9 Sterne einpendeln. Meine Partnerin und ich waren Sonntagabend gegen 19:30 Uhr da und hätten eigentlich nicht reservieren müssen. Es waren „genug“ Leute da, aber es war nicht jeder Tisch besetzt – komischerweise. Die Getrönkeauswahl ist gut, es gibt ein paar asiatische Getränke, eine kleine Weinauswahl und sonst auch das übliche zum fairen Preis – Cola, Fanta, Bier und und und. Zur Vorspeise haben wir uns Edamame geteilt. Heiß, mit ausreichend Salz und einer Menge die locker für zwei Personen reicht, kam die Vorspeise recht zügig. Wer es lieber mit weniger Salz mag, sollte das vielleicht vor der Bestellung sagen. Für die Hauptspeise haben wir uns selbst unsere eigene Sushiplatte zusammengestellt. Wenn man nicht komplett ausgehungert kommt aber auch nicht wirklich satt ist, sollte man denke ich mit ca 20-30€ pro Person für das Essen kalkulieren. Die Anrichtung ist wunderschön und kommt finde ich auf meinem Bild nicht so gut rüber wie in echt. Das Essen riecht lecker, ist für Sushi „normalwarm“ und die Zutaten sind frisch. Der Thunfisch sowie der Lachs waren sehr lecker – Sashimi haben wir nicht bestellt, aber ich bin mir sicher, dass man das bedenkenlos bestellen kann. Die Mango und die Avocado waren reif und geschmacklich top. Wirklich alles zu unserer vollkommenen Zufriedenheit. Als Dessert haben wir uns das Eis bestellt und auch hier kann ich nichts dran aussetzen. Das Zitronensorbet kommt in einer tiefgefrorenen Zitrone serviert und schmeckt a) lecker und macht b) echt was her. Reicht auf jeden Fall auch für zwei Personen, vorausgesetzt man möchte sich nicht dran sattessen. Die Bedienung ist freundlich, aufmerksam und die meiste Zeit echt flott, aber nicht aufdringlich. Die Atmosphäre: Die Kaiserstraße als Adresse könnte abschreckend wirken, hier sollte man sich aber nicht davon beeinflussen lassen. Von außen wie innen ein schicker Laden und man bekommt nichts von draußen mit. Stattdessen ist es super gemütlich und die Musik ist passend gewählt. Toilette auch modern und sauber und hier kommt der einzige kleine Kritikpunkt: ein richtiger Handtuchspender wäre super. Vielen Dank und wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder! P.S.: Es war das beste Sushi was wir seit langem oder sogar jemals hatten!

We've been here for dinner a few times and today we picked up for the first time. We had two starters, one chicken roll and baked chicken with spicy mayo sauce and the main course one duck curry and one chicken curry. The food was still perfectly warm, the chicken was so tender it melted in your mouth, the duck was fried tenderly pink and the sauce with the vegetables was perfect and everything was incredibly tasty. The dessert was the crowning glory of a chocolate soufflé with a soft center. We always enjoy coming back. Stay the same and a super friendly team. Thank you for that !

Unfortunately a total disaster. The chicken was absolutely not edible. Udon noodles were overcooked and burnt. Vegan rolls were packaged together in the same container with meat. Unfortunately the money was wasted.

Best sushi in Karlsruhe! Service was super friendly, waiting time wasn't longer than 10 minutes and the taste was simply excellent! You just have to be quick, the places go quickly.

We were there for the first time last Saturday, although it has been around locally for some time. Very centrally located. Really tastefully and stylishly decorated in dark tones. Service was initially quick and courteous, although a bit impersonal and later rather ignorant. The menu is extensive and perhaps a bit too diverse. No advice from staff. Sushi platter for 2 (Chef's Special) was okay but compared to similar locations in Ka, it was rather average and boring - and not really special - Tasty yes, visually ok...but that certain something was missing. Too expensive for that.

Really highly recommended. The homemade lemonades were delicious. Likewise the sushi, the dumplings, gyoza and also the main courses. Staff friendly and very quick. I would strongly recommend reservation. Easily accessed via the restaurant's website.

The service was super nice. the food was very good. I would go there again any time

Not the best sushi restaurant in town, but still pretty good. Fast, friendly and efficient service is the highlight here. A bit noisy and warm sitting inside during summer, better outdoors if you don’t mind fighting off flies and wasps 😅 It offers a modern take on traditional izakaya dining, with a menu featuring sushi, udon noodles, and other Japanese dishes. The ambiance is stylish with an open kitchen design, allowing diners to watch the chefs at work. They cater to a range of dietary preferences, including vegan options like vegetable dumplings and sushi. Customers generally praise the food quality, especially the vegan selections, and the restaurant's contemporary interior. Handicap friendly, but a narrow stairway down to the restrooms.

Tasty and fresh sushi ☺️ Try their special sushi rolls with asparagus. And their cocktails are amazing too! Definitely a go-to place. 😎

Great atmosphere. Good service & delicious food.

I've eaten here a few times, even if only occasionally. Nevertheless, we left the restaurant satisfied every time. Sushi and other dishes very tasty. Sushi was always fresh.

Cozy Asian restaurant in the bustling heart of Karlsruhe. Had a nice meal here. The food was of good quality and delivered quickly. There is an informal atmosphere and the service is friendly and pleasant. To be honest, it was a bit chaotic, but that doesn't detract from the food and atmosphere. I had a sushi bowl myself which is a good meal for me. A sushi bowl is quite affordable (under 17 euros), but if you go for loose sushi the price can rise. All in all, highly recommended for those who enjoy fun and good food.

I love this restaurant. It is my go-to place when I am in Karlsruhe and fancy Asian cuisine. I normally hate sushi, but I really enjoy eating it here! The entire restaurant is also very cozy and modern and makes you feel comfortable during your stay.

Best sushi I've ever had. Really great fish and the best rice you can find. The vegan and vegetarian options are extremely tasty as well. The fusion kitchen concept works really good. I strongly recommend the asparagus sushi.

So friendly, so delicious, sooo hot; I want a child from this sushi

I am providing this location 4 stars for now as I want able to try other dishes to finalize my thoughts in this location. What I have order was udon with choice of protein, duck. The duck was amazing however what was the issue was the soup itself. It feels more like broth was season a bit and with a hit of sriracha sauce. Wish it was richer or seasoned differently. The tea I got was amazing!!! I really enjoy the teapot for myself.

The food was very tasty and the prices aren't bad either. The service was very nice and quick.

Beautiful place, very kind staff and the food was amazing! I had the duck erdnung and the peanut sauce was unreal! Truly best asian food I've ever had. My girlfriend had the curry garnalen and she absolutely loved it as well.

Really loved this hidden gem good was delicious the prices were also good and the location is very nice!

Modern, stylish atmosphere and friendly, courteous service. High quality ingredients and creative dishes - reasonably priced. Probably the best Japanese restaurant in the area. I recommend the mixed salmon platter: “Salmon Delight”

The shop is pretty inconspicuous from the outside but it's beautiful from the inside, the atmosphere is super relaxed, the music was pleasant, the service was very nice and the food tasted very good, I'll be back again.

We ate there yesterday and ordered a bowl with chicken and unfortunately the taste wasn't as expected. The chicken was still raw and we mentioned that and all we got was an apology. We didn't eat the food and paid for nothing. The employee apparently had a dental operation and couldn't even speak properly, we only understood half of it and unfortunately that really disgusted us.

Very tasty and excellent service. Fast and friendly!

Very tasty and beautiful atmosphere!

Passing through there...1st time for me. And not the last I think. absolutely go!!! a superb discovery, service, decor and food at the TOP! The sushi is to die for😋😋a very good place, I highly recommend.

Greatly designed restaurant. I found sushi/rolls to be mediocre at best (avocados had been on my rolls for a while and were slightly brownish, salmon skin was tough (probably had been lying around for a while) - not a catastrophe, but far away from the price level and my expectations (quality and taste were more like the Sushimann at Edeka). Service was good, friendly but slightly chaotic.

The food was a bit dark, but very tasty.

Very fast and attentive service. The food was also brought in a very short time. We had ordered miso soup and several Japanese tapas with salmon and it was very tasty and used high quality ingredients. We'd love to come back.

The sushi rolls were notably small and lacked any standout flavors or creativity. For the portion sizes and quality, the prices were quite high. Overall, it didn’t live up to expectations and felt overpriced for what was offered.

Food is good but the service is beyond what I have found in Karlsruhe. Very helpful in giving advice and kitchen open until late. Small details that is difficult to mention in a text but good experience.

Great restaurant, exciting mix of Japanese and European cuisine. Good selection of wines e.g. Lugana as a white wine. Price performance is top. Seating a bit tight, could have had more space.

The staff is very nice and the food tastes very good.

The food here is one of the best I have ever had the fish taste sooo good

Been there several times, originally on a recommendation from friends. Very tasty dishes, very tasty lemonade, good service. Small disadvantage: when it's full, it gets pretty loud in the dining room. The seats further back - past the counter - are better. Cocktail sometimes tastes different (Botanic Garden) This could be improved. Overall, everything was very tasty and high quality.

udon soup + solid espresso service quick and direct Ice tea delicious but a little too sweet 4.8

Were there for the first time, the menu was very large, everyone can find something, even vegetarian, the food was very good ❣️ Service, however, left a lot to be desired, ordering drinks was very difficult, there wasn't really a lot of activity... had to go repeated request to go to the service in person.....😬

Very great facility, food came very quickly and was very tasty and fresh

Everything perfect. Service is friendly, the atmosphere is very nice and the food is fantastic from sushi to dessert and drinks.

First time to visit this restaurant and absolutely knocked us down 🤟. We ordered soup and dumplings for the starter,after we took the recommendation from the waiter for some sushi, it was so good that we didnt want to stop, so we ordered some more. We finished with mango dream desert and it was stunning. Definitely worth visiting!! For the wine lovers,try the Lugano wine,goes best with this kind od food! Waiters are very good and helpful,Izakaya till the next time !!

Totally modern and stylishly furnished. Interesting selection of food. Sushi, bowls... Delicious starters, lots of veggies and incredibly delicious dessert. There were five of us, many different dishes, before and after dessert and everyone was thrilled. Reservation strongly recommended. Parking garage on the market square very close and from 6:00 p.m. a nightly flat rate of €4. Ambience only 4 out of 5 because it was unfortunately very loud overall and it was difficult to have a conversation.

Super good quality and an absolute culinary delight 👍

Extremely delicious Japanese food, great bowls for lunch and a very beautifully designed restaurant. The only negative point was that the food came rather sporadically and not everyone could start eating together - but that was a complaint on a high level. Everything else was great!

good vibe thanks to the background music, good food, friendly staff who unfortunately hardly speak any German and a cool location.

Great Asian restaurant with friendly service and a nice ambience. Unfortunately it's "hidden" in a construction site at the moment.

Really nice evening here. Food was very good and the service was also great. However, we waited a little longer, but that wasn't a problem.

Very nice service and nice decor :)

Great food at higher prices, good service, a bit "cramped"

Apart from the great ambience and the beautiful decor, you don't get your money's worth eating here. Although our starters and tapas, such as the “Coconut & Prawn” soup or the fried crayfish, were very tasty, and the homemade drinks and cocktails were excellent and beautiful to look at, the main courses were even more pitiful. My “Lemon” Chicken lacked any lemongrass and was unfortunately very blandly seasoned. But my companion's €20 shrimp curry topped it again, with a whole FOUR SHRIMP on the huge plate, and the rest topped with unseasoned vegetables. Additionally, the fish on the sushi platter had a too “fishy” smell and we felt uncomfortable eating it. All in all, you can enjoy appetizers, tapas, drinks and cocktails as well as the nice ambience in this restaurant, but you should stay far away from the main course.

I love this place! The food, atmosphere and the service is great. The people that work there are super friendly and polite. Highly recommended 🧡

Very good food and a top restaurant.👍

Very tasty udon soup! Gladly again!

Good Japanese food, seems relatively authentic.

Can only recommend it, super tasty

Great atmosphere, courteous service and very tasty food! Always my pleasure!!

Always happy to come here! Very friendly service and the food is fresh and delicious! Not once disappointed so far!
