TA Izakaya Restaurant in Karlsruhe

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.

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

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

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…

Delicious food with a pleasant atmosphere that invites you to linger

Very good food. It is recommended to reserve.

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...

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.

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

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

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

A little expensive but very, very tasty and cool location

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
