Chaya Brasserie

A sleek mingling of East and West brings fusion chic to Embarcardero

  • Live Jazz over the weekend
  • Daily Happy Hour
  • Catering available

With Chaya's opening in January 2000, Chaya Brasserie has introduced the Bay Area to the Franco-Japanese cooking that has made Chaya so legendary in Japan at the original 358 year old Chaya and for the last 24 years in Los Angeles. Executive Chef, Shigefumi Tachibe integrates the wealth of local products into his classic Chaya Cuisine. Chaya Brasserie San Francisco has one of the most spectacular views of the Bay in San Francisco, and is open for lunch Monday to Friday, and serves dinner seven nights a week.

Editorial Review for Chaya Brasserie – by Laura Reiley

In Short
Young, hip, affluent diners share the dining room with older, still hip and more affluent ones. The drama of the industrial-chic decor enhances the view of the Bay Bridge. Red accents, bamboo ceilings and box-shaped crystal chandeliers gussy up the main dining room. A smaller, second dining room is more formal (and quiet), with a sushi bar taking up one corner.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

My first day of the week was not one of the most polarizing experiences I've ever had; what a waste! incompetent service + inedible food = to avoid at all cost! Great bartenders and a truly sweet host though.

Pros: The bar

Cons: Food-Service-Service-Food

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Chaya is conveniently located within walking distance of the Embarcadero BART station and offers a view of the Bay Bridge. My companions and I ordered the pork wrapped in bacon, rib eye, and wild mushroom risotto. All of which were flavorful and prepared to order. I highly recommend saving room for dessert. It was hard to pick which desserts to order given how tempting they all were, but we decided upon the molten chocolate cake, tres leches cake, and the croissant bread pudding. Although all of our choices were delicious, the bread pudding was the best bread pudding I have ever eaten. It was creamy, rich, and baked to perfection.

Pros: Delicious meal.

Cons: Portions are on the smaller side.
