TA Izakaya Restaurant — Restaurant in Karlsruhe

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).

A must visit Gem in Karlsruhe!

TA Izakaya is an absolute delight! From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The ambience is fantastic, cozy, vibrant, and perfectly captures the essence of a true Japanese izakaya.

I’ve been here twice, and both times it was nearly empty — something I’ve noticed is quite common with many Asian restaurants. When it comes to the food, the gyoza 🥟 and sushi rolls really stood out. However, there was one disappointing moment: the waitress informed me that card payments under €20 weren’t accepted — my bill came to €18 — essentially forcing me to round up with a tip. Now, I would have gladly left a tip anyway, but being told it’s required felt off. It was a bit of a turning point in an otherwise great experience. A small note to the restaurant: we, the customers, shouldn’t be made to cover your overhead by policy. If your business struggles to fill seats, this isn’t the...
