TA Izakaya Restaurant in Karlsruhe

Highly recommended, very friendly staff and the food is excellent...we'd be happy to come back anytime.

Located in the center of Karlsruhe, with a very nice atmosphere. Good value for money. Very friendly staff who are attentive to customer needs.

Very fine, freshly prepared food.

Stylish restaurant in the city center with delicious sushi, bowls and cocktails

I'll make it short, food really good, service unfortunately poor, completely overwhelmed with a half full restaurant, very unfortunate

The only minor criticism of the food: The soy sauce tasted diluted and watery. A real shame, considering the delicious sushi we were served.

Delicious cocktails 🍹🍸, and delicious sushi🍣 , friendly staff

Really good food, although for my taste it was a bit too much modern fusion cuisine instead of traditional Japanese selection, but of course it was well prepared and very tasty.

The ambiance is very nice. Drinks were delicious, and the bowls tasted great. We were served very quickly, and the food arrived fairly quickly. I'd be happy to go back.

There were three of us, and we ordered everything from the menu and shared everything. Excellent service, and the food was consistently delicious and fresh, cooked to perfection. The open kitchen also provides a clear view of the preparation process. Clean, hygienic, and a lovely ambiance. The Kumquat Lemon from the homemade drinks was so outstanding that we reordered it several times. We were very happy. A definite recommendation.

Perfect restaurant specially the service from the best of the best Loi 🔥

Perfect service from Loi the good looking guy xD He is the best really Such nice Food and atmosphere

We've been there several times and would love to come back. The food is very tasty, very friendly and nice staff, nice atmosphere 🫶🏽

Good sushi in Karlsruhe — I can definitely recommend giving it a try. The prices aren’t the cheapest, but the menu offers a wide variety of dishes. The interior is cozy and stylish, giving the place a refined, upscale feel. It's a great place to visit with friends. Our dishes were served very quickly, and the staff worked efficiently and professionally. Good sushi in Karlsruhe - I definitely recommend trying it. The prices are not the lowest, but the menu offers a wide selection of dishes. The interior is cozy and stylish, which gives the establishment an elegant, elite atmosphere. This is a great place to visit with friends. Our meals were served very quickly and the staff were efficient and professional.

The sushi is really great and I was also really excited about the “salad rolls” on the mixed starter plate.

I was a huge fan until I found out through food monitoring that absolutely no hygiene regulations were being adhered to ("massive cockroach infestation", "no functioning hand washing device", "interruption of the cold chain [...] at 28°C", etc.)

Unfortunately, there were ants all around and on the table (at the very back near the windows facing the street), which (according to the waitress) came in through a crack in the door - I couldn't continue eating. No apology, no discount, nothing. Definitely not a recommendation!

Great food! Compared to other Japanese places there is a bit of a limited selection, for example no ramen. Otherwise really good!

Great food and friendly staff, full recommendation

If you want to eat good sushi 🍱 you've come to the right place 👍 I would say the shop is one of the best sushi makers in Karlsruhe, creatively put together sushi that taste really great. Actually everything tastes really delicious here 😋 Service always friendly and smiling. Dog welcome Can only recommend it.

+ good and appealing food +/- slow operation - uncomfortable chairs -- very cold room, both times

Super delicious food, extremely friendly staff, very aesthetic furnishings and dishes. All around successful experience🔥

Don't trust the guys with skinny jeans. -DON’T TRUST HIM

A completely successful visit! The restaurant impresses across the board - the ambience is stylish and very inviting, you immediately feel at home. The service was excellent: attentive, friendly and warm without being intrusive. And the food? Simply delicious! Every course was perfectly flavored and lovingly prepared. You can tell that the cooking here is done with quality and passion. The prices are a little higher, but given the quality offered, they are absolutely justified. All in all, a great experience – I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back!

Very tasty sushi. Staff very nice and friendly. I would love to come back! It's worth it, try it!

The food was delicious, but the wait was a bit long.

Super tasty, thank you very much! We'd love to come back again

We celebrated my husband's birthday with the whole family, 10 people. Everyone was very satisfied. Quality and service are impeccable. We were definitely not there for the last time.

The sushis are great, fresh, tasty and well prepared. The rice bowls are another highlight of the restaurant as they are made very close to home. They have a very good range of sushi dishes also for vegetarians. The drink menus has a good variety of beers, wines, sakes, and cocktails too. The price is a bit more expensive than other sushi places in Karlsruhe but quality is definitely there! The service should be improved especially with ordering and serving the food. We had to remind them couple of times of our order and time we waited, but this can be improved. Overall one if the best sushi restaurants in town.

It was an excellent visit. Service - food and high quality!

It was my first time here and I have to say I am thrilled with this starter for 2 mix, it tasted so good I had to order it twice

Great it would give 100 stars if I could

Really a very nice restaurant with delicious food and very nice service. We also really liked the facility.

Very good, high-quality sushi. One star deducted for the ambiance because the tables are quite close together and the noise level was very high during our visit.

Interesting and tasty dishes. Friendly, helpful staff

All sushi are fresh and tasty. (Aburi sushi is really delicious!!!). Friendly service and pleasant atmosphere :)

There were four of us and we had the TA Magic for 4. It was excellently prepared and more than plentiful and tasted incredibly good. The rosé wine also went very well with it. The service was always attentive and friendly, it certainly wasn't the last time we were there!

I visited this sushi restaurant recently and was partially impressed with the atmosphere, which I would rank the highest, followed by the cocktails and then the food. The atmosphere is nice, it feels contemporary and classy and creates a positive vibe. The cocktails, while decent, didn’t particularly wow me. As for the food, I can say that it was underwhelming. Here I focused mainly on the sushi (sashimi, nigiri, and rolls). The restaurant offers derivative recipes, but the variety of seafood is limited, and the flavors weren’t as fresh or vibrant as I expected. Even though they offer sushi combo platters, these were also limited and didn’t provide much excitement in terms of variety or freshness. Every single ingredient, from the fish to tobikko and wasabi was alright but nothing outstanding. Overall, the sushi didn’t quite live up to my expectations. I would come back occasionally but wouldn't change my way to dine in here.

Since I discovered this restaurant, every visit to Karlsruhe has a stop there to eat. The food is tasty, I never needed to wait long for it (had lunch and also dinner there). I have allergic restrictions and often in Germany it's a challenge to find options in the menus but here it was simple to figure out what I should not take. I really like their style, it feels cozy. The toilet is clean, that's an important point to me. The staff is friendly, pay attention if we need anything without annoying.

Very stylish location, the food is very good. It's a bit tight. Reservations are essential. It is a bit strange that you have to speak English with the service staff.

Already second time to dine in. Honestly it’s still the best Japanese restaurant in Karlsruhe but not as good as the last time. Last time there were fresher Lachfisch and better quality of Sushi. The Udon for these 2 times is not real Japanese style but still delicious as asian style. In general it’s still worthy to dine in. But not as good as I expected or even what I’ve experienced the last time.

Sehr gute asiatische Küche mit sehr freundlichem Service. Ausgezeichnetes Sushi. Sehr zu empfehlen und jederzeit gerne wieder.

Mega! Always my pleasure! Cool location ☺️ And: We came a little early and they really tried hard to find a table straight away.

I was there for the first and last time! Z. N. Gastrointestinal complaints The sushi tasted good but the bowl was only mediocre. Service: hectic, pressured to place an order, you can't even read the menu in peace, not everyone can speak German, you forget cutlery, you forget your bowl Ambience: So loud in the restaurant! The furnishings are tastefully and lavishly designed, but unfortunately the tables are so close together that when you walk past, you slide past your bottom on the other's table and, so to speak, in the other's food. This is extremely unpleasant. Toilets weren't clean either. They say that whoever cleans the toilet also cleans the kitchen. I had to feel this painfully, because I had constant complaints for a day and a night in the form of vomiting and persistent nausea with headaches. Never again !!!

The atmosphere is very nice, but the tables are way too close together. The food came quickly, but was carelessly prepared and only tasted mediocre. It's a shame... I expected much more from the photos.

I was never a sushi fan, due to rather mediocre experiences. But here all variations of sushi were super delicious! The other dishes are also highly recommended. The ambience is great and the acoustics are pleasant thanks to clever brick dividers. Our service was friendly and attentive. Completely recommended.

Very pleasant atmosphere. Staff is very friendly and attentive. The 🍣 was ​​very tasty. There is also a lunch special.

Restaurant Review: Ta Izakaya The Ta Izakaya impresses across the board! As soon as you enter, you'll notice the stylish ambience - modern, cozy and perfect for a relaxed evening. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive, always on hand without seeming intrusive. Particularly noteworthy is the expert advice on wine selection, which rounds off the culinary experience wonderfully. The food? Simply fantastic! The dishes are not only a visual highlight, but also a taste delight. Every bite shows the highest freshness and quality. The creative and authentic cuisine makes the visit a real experience. An all-round successful evening – we would love to come back!

An experience like no other. The ambience was very promising when we walked in, but was far exceeded by the food. From the presentation of the food as well as the taste (ooooh the taste 🤯) the staff is very friendly and accommodating. A complete success and the best and tastiest Valentine's Day ever.

Highly recommended. Super friendly, top quality.

Great ambience. Nice service. Delicious food. 😍😍😍

The food was amazing. We waited a little longer for it, but understandable on a Saturday evening. Anytime again🥰

Das Essen ist wow 🤩 sehr abwechslungsreich und super fein. Alles super portioniert und die Bedienung ist sehr gastfreundlich.

Very disappointing. Expensive, small portions, very bland seasoning…

Very good food. It is recommended to reserve.

Delicious food with a pleasant atmosphere that invites you to linger

Everything was beautiful and the food was delicious. Thank you!

Our visit to Ta Izakaya in Karlsruhe was a completely successful experience! The restaurant not only impresses with its beautiful furnishings, but also with a great atmosphere that immediately puts you in a relaxed and cozy mood. The modern yet warm design of the room creates a perfect environment for a special meal. A small downer was that there was a small problem with our online reservation. Fortunately, there were enough free seats available so our group got a table without any problems. The staff was very friendly and accommodating right from the start, which made the start of the evening pleasant. The food was an absolute highlight! The dishes came quickly and were of excellent quality. Every bite tasted fantastic and the freshness of the preparation was clearly noticeable. We were particularly impressed by the variety of Japanese cuisine, which was presented here authentically and creatively. The service was consistently friendly, attentive and always tried to make our stay as pleasant as possible. They were always available to answer questions and were also happy to give recommendations, which made choosing dishes even easier. In summary, Ta Izakaya is a beautiful restaurant with very good food, a great atmosphere and excellent service. Despite the small problem with the reservation, the evening was a complete success and we can only recommend Ta Izakaya. Definitely worth a visit!

Sushi very good, portions a bit small.

I'm not a sushi fan in general, but I enjoyed the Avmbend and found the food tasty! My wife and daughter were thrilled and would certainly have given five points for the food! Recommended!

Rarely have I eaten such delicious chicken! Really very good. Not only does it taste very good but it is also always a visual eye-catcher! This shop is recommended. Prices are okay.

After waiting for over 20 minutes and no waitress came to take the drink order, we left. This has happened to us for the second time now. We were there for the first time 3 years ago and we enjoyed it. We won't come again, lack of service and friendliness.

Great place for Sushi and also some other Japanese Food (e.g. Japanese Curry). Friendly staff, modern-traditional Ambiente. A little expensive, so my wife and I normally spend ~40€ pP here with 1-2 drinks pP and without starter.

My friends and I went to the restaurant on a Saturday evening. Even though it was busy, we were brought to our place quickly and there was always a waitress there to order quickly. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and we felt very comfortable. In addition, the food was freshly prepared and very tasty. The “Lychee Dream” drink and the gyoza appetizer were incredibly tasty! Price/performance was also top. My friend mistakenly received the wrong sushi, this was corrected immediately. Service - top! We would eat there again in a heartbeat. :)

The food exceeded expectations. For the first but certainly not the last time we enjoyed a lovely evening.

Sehr leckeres Sushi - authentisch japanisch. Auch die Bowls sind toll. Die Bedienung ist sehr aufmerksam und freundlich.

Sushi was ok in terms of taste and price, the shop itself was really nicely decorated, the service left a lot to be desired, e.g. wet glasses were put on the table and left a big puddle. Which we then had to wipe up ourselves...

Great location!!! Great service, nice staff and expertly prepared food 🎉✨️

Admittedly, it was my first time in a Japanese restaurant. Therefore, few comparisons. But I had dumplings and the chicken bowl as a starter, both of which were really delicious and, above all, really easy to look at. The iced tea was also delicious, refreshing and beautifully decorated. The atmosphere is really nice, but I find the small distance between the tables a little annoying. But that's what happens in many restaurants now. What is absolutely worth mentioning is the super friendly and very attentive staff. Not all of them were or are professionals, which you can tell just by serving the drinks, but their friendliness makes this quickly forgotten or overlooked. Definitely this wasn't my last visit.

Ate really good sushi. We had the large platter for 2 people. Something for the eyes and the palate. Thanks!

A little expensive but very, very tasty and cool location

As always: Super good, friendly staff and simply delicious food...!

It was fantastic. The best sushi I've eaten in a long time.

Very nicely furnished, harmonious ambience and atmosphere, friendly and attentive service, homemade drinks taste great and cleverly put together, food is also tasteful and delicious.

Excellent food with exceptional quality! Super tasty sushi rice that is not too hard or too soft and above all not mushy, just perfect for my taste! Unfortunately, the conditions were a bit disorientating because they were too overwhelmed, but the food was convincing and therefore no point is deducted.

We went for dinner at 8 PM. The food was great, and the place looked very fancy. The service, however, was a big letdown. By 9:30 PM, we were almost done and just enjoying our drinks. Even though the restaurant closes at 10 PM, the waitress kept coming over, asking if we wanted anything else. When we said no, she stayed at the table, clearly waiting for us to leave. They also turned off the heaters and opened windows or doors, creating a cold draft. This is in December, so it wasn’t just uncomfortable—it got me sick. The food is good, but the way they rushed us and made us feel unwelcome ruined the experience. I wouldn’t go back.

Guys, you're in a hurry! It's unbearable in the entrance area in winter, when there's a lot going on, it's super loud and the stools are really an imposition. Sushi was good, but I've had better. The rolls weren't rolled well either, some of them were already open on the plate. But very nice dishes.

We came across the restaurant spontaneously and were very pleasantly surprised. The ambience alone is beautiful, the service is very nice and everything goes quickly. The sushi tastes very good and is worth the money! Please keep it up! Thank you for the nice evening

Hello, I usually rarely write reviews. But the restaurant really stuck in my mind. We recently wanted to go out for dinner very late in the evening, even though the restaurant was almost closed... I called and asked if it would be okay if we came, we were warmly and kindly asked to go there! When we arrived we were served in a very nice and friendly manner and were also advised which food we liked best! And all this despite the fact that they were soon closed. The waiters were very charming and accommodating. Food was absolutely delicious. I have a great memory of Ta Izakaya and I would love to come back. Can only recommend it! Best regards

Unfortunately, the waitress was very disrespectful and seemed snooty, even though I'm a regular customer. This is the second time something like this has happened. However, at the end another waiter came and apologized. His German/English was a bit unusual, but he was very nice and friendly.

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.
