Tane Vegan Izakaya

I loved this place!!! The vegan sushi here was exactly what I was looking for. I tried the gobo roll, spicy tofu roll, a mushroom roll, and lastly, katsu. My favorite had to be the katsu and spicy tofu roll. So flavorful, yet so effortless. Came here for Valentine's Day right when they opened and were seated right away. Food and service was great. I am glad we got there when we did because it got super busy shortly after. Definitely worth a visit!

Ate here last night and everything was AMAZING! We made a reservation for 4:30pm and were seated promptly with the table already set for our arrival (an extra special touch) The service was great! Our waitress came and checked on us frequently and food came out fast. I loved this quaint little place in Oakland and loved the coziness of it. We ordered a few things off the menu.Gyoza KatsuGarlic edamame Pokai rollPassion fruit cheesecake Everything was super good and I absolutely loved my roll. As a newer vegan and former sushi lover, this is one of the best rolls I've ever had. We will definitely add this to our rotation for date night.

I've been here 3x in the past couple of months and the food never ceases to amaze me. I highly recommend making a reservation on yelp. There are not a lot of tables and it's frequently booked out. I am not vegan and love sushi yet this place blows my mind each time. Every roll I've tried has been fantastic and doesn't have me missing real fish. My favorite roll by far is the Pacifica and Pokai. If you can take the heat, the Point Reyes roll is also great. I've tried both the spicy garlic miso and shoyu ramen. I enjoy the spicy garlic miso ramen more. It's a bit creamier than the shoyu. The garlic edamame is also an amazing starter. Packed with flavor and they also give a good amount! This place is one of my top restaurants in Berkeley. Taste, service, vibes are all unmatched.

Made a reservation for 7:30 for 4 people to celebrate gradation and we were promptly seated upon arrival. The space inside isn't very large so would definitely recommend making the reservation on Yelp so you don't have to wait. Atmosphere is pretty casual and there are a wide variety of appetizers and rolls to choose from on the menu. My favorite is the ewa-- the creamy avocado with the crunch enoki tempura matcha salt is the perfect savory bite. I also liked the tane katsu which is the shoyu patty appetizer. The rolls are inventive with different sauces and textures, and even as someone who loves sashimi I thoroughly have enjoyed my experiences here.

Charming, true-to-form classic sushi experience with a fully vegan menu! Reservations highly recommended due to very limited seating & the restaurant's popularity. The specialty rolls are quite filling. Atmosphere is lively and great for friends to catch up. Miso soup ($3) - light, hot, perfect for a chilly evening in Berkeley. Warms up your insides and your soul Kailua ($16) - my favorite out of the two rolls I had. Such a good mix of sweet and tangy. I really loved the pickled mango. The Wedge ($17) - crispy rice topped with spicy tofu that honestly tasted really similar to real spicy tuna, just without the fishy taste (which I do like, don't get me wrong). My friend and I made reservations online & arrived about an hour early but they still seated us, which was very accommodating. We were put in the corner of the bar, which was a little cramped and awkward but we still had enough space. Service was very attentive, with constant water refills. Great time overall and so much fun getting to see my pal! :)

We decided to go to Tane for our 9th anniversary dinner and were so happy with the experience. I love sushi and don't mind vegetarian sushi (I'm a non-shellfish pescatarian so I have more limited options), but my mostly vegan partner hates it. After checking out the menu, he was excited to try this place. The menu has so many options, something for everyone. We over-ordered and ended up being pretty full by the end (but still took a cheesecake home with us), but each bite was so delicious, each dish so beautifully and thoughtfully plated, and each so inventive, that every time a new plate came to the table was a delight. They really elevate vegan food.We ordered: gyoza, katsu, some nigiri: avocado, okra, bell pepper, and then an additional roll. My favorite was the katsu (I *miss* chicken katsu) and the bell pepper and avocado nigiri. The okra ended up being a bit too slimy for me, but still enjoyable. Service was friendly and very prompt. They made sure we had all that we needed and kept our water glasses filled. My only complaints are that the tables are a bit too close together (it's a smaller restaurant so this makes sense, but makes it difficult to maneuver around) and that they don't tell you how expensive the cheesecakes are! They don't have a printed dessert list and had we known they were going to be so pricey we would have skipped it.Highly recommend Tane for a special occasion meal or really when you're just in the mood for some excellent food. For those omnivores reading this: you will not miss meat at all.

Wonderful experience. Great flavor, creativity, and presentation. Tried so many offering and the party of four loved it all.Rolls EwaWedgeManila Dune Shiitake mushroom best dishRameneggplant, brussels sprouts, tofu mushroom pockets, and katsu are my go-to starters. So many choices still to try

Tane Vegan Izakaya was my first ever experience eating vegan sushi, and as someone that was skeptical, it was actually some of the best vegan food I've ever had!They were so creative in some of the sushi rolls that I honestly forgot I wasn't eating any meat! We got the Point Reyes roll and the sunset roll which came lit on fire which was, well, gimmicky but interesting to say the least. Aside from the strange presentation on the sunset roll, they were both amazing, with my preference being toward the Point Reyes roll as it was slightly spicy!The tempura was also great, especially the eggplant, which is my favorite. The ramen was also good as well, very light on the stomach, and it didn't make me feel heavy like I usually do after eating ramen, which I enjoyed.I would recommend to book a reservation for dinner in advance as this restaurant is very small, and the seats fill up quick. Tane Vegan Izakaya is a solid vegan spot, and I would come here again with my vegan friends!

Very impressive vegan sushi. Spot is cute but not fancy. Almost everything we tried was excellent: the sunrise roll, the bean curd nigiri, and the avocado nigiri were the stand out favorites. Naturally they are limited by the lack of fish, but if you are looking for a vegan place I think Tane would be hard to beat.

We had some vegetarian/vegan friends visit and we wanted to take them to a vegan restaurant that wasn't impossible/plant based meat substitutes. Cute little restaurant tucked between a McDonalds and a closed matcha tea shop. We actually walked past it the first time as it's pretty lowkey from the outside. We were worried about not having a reservation for a party of 4 and based on the other reviews thought we'd need to wait. I guess we were lucky and came in between a lunch and dinner rush! The service was friendly and the server was really nice about us ordering in two different rounds. We ended up ordering twice and tried about 10 different items on the menu. The first items out were the gyoza, edamame and miso soup. The gyoza was delicious and clued us in about how the rest of the dinner would go. All the rolls were fresh, carefully put together and absolutely delicious. We tried tomato nigiri, which looked like red tuna and could've tasted disappointing but ended up being my favorite! All their eggplant dishes were soo good. My friends were so excited to finally be able to have the full sushi experience rather than the typical avocado or cucumber roll. This place doesn't make you miss the fish, and doesn't try too hard to taste like fish. They focus on sauces, texture, high quality rice-- everything you need for a full flavor experience in one bite as sushi is meant to be. I was stuffed by the end and still regretted not taking another tomato nigiri to go.
