The best casual vegan restaurant in London

In London you’re not short of vegan restaurants. This place is the brainchild of French chef and all round genius Alexis Gaulthier. What this man has created here is exceptional and a truly a treat of a night out. From making vegan sushi to amazing deserts I always head to this place on my trips to London. I’d eat here every day if I could.

Pros: Everything , Sushi, Music playlist

Cons: None

Incredible vegan sushi

I visited with friends and we shared the mixed platters and sushi tacos and it was a great experience. Sushi was my favourite food before going vegan so it was amazing to be able to try a huge variety of different types of sushi!

The dessert was also a highlight - the tres leches with mango sorbet was delicious!

Shoutout to Carl for his attentive service😄

Exciting menu

I love that all the options on this menu are different to other sushi places. All the menu items were exciting and creative. The sweet potato dish with a lime and coriander sauce was one of my favourites.
It’s a pricey restaurant but the food and service are top notch.

Best vegan sushi of my life

I am still amazed by how amazing the sushi was. The salmon and the tuna one were incredible good.

Extraordinary food, unfortunate service

I cannot recommend the sushi here highly enough and wish I could've left a 5* star review. Unfortunately, the service and ambience prevented that. The staff seemed unengaged, bored, and miserable, which sadly took the wind out of the whole occasion. We all have bad days, but if you work in a public-facing job, you should greet all customers with a smile and certain energy or find another role. The service certainly didn't fit with the quality of food. Also, the atmosphere was a bit weird, I think because of the negative energy from staff, and lack of lighting. The toilets weren't filthy but definitely sub-par & needing attention, both in terms of cleaning and maintenance. I fully intend go back though, but perhaps under the influence of alcohol in order to be less sensitive to the other elements.

Pros: Best sushi I've ever had, Great location in trendy Soho, Excellent value for what you get

Cons: Staff work ethic, Lack of attention to building

Wow wow wow

This place is amazing. Atmosphere was lovely, staff were fab, and the food was off the scale. We had the unlimited sushi and it was so tasty. So much choice. So flavoursome. Attentive staff. Really enjoyable experience.

FYI all the sushi is apparently gluten free except one small piece. Soy sauce used is all gluten free.

Tasty vegan sushi

Love ordering the vegan sushi boxes from 123V via Deliveroo. I have also been to the 123V venue to eat it and it was equally delicious.

They have a great variety of vegan sushi all of which is clean and fresh.

Great vegan sushi

Best place to find good vegan sushi! Very expensive though.

Really creative menu but feels like it's confused on what the restaurant is with bottomless sushi but the atmosphere is more of a wine bar and there's also pasta on the menu.

I preferred when it was in the Fenwick basement as more of a sushi bar than an upscale restaurant.

Pros: Fully vegan, Friendly staff, Innovative menu

Cons: Expensive

Amazing vegan sushi

I love vegan sushi and haven’t found anywhere that does it as well as the US, until now! Last night we went to @123vegan_w1 to try their Plantbased sushi offerings and we loved it!

We had the Grand Sushi Set, the Dragon Roll & California Cheeseburger. May sound weird, but the burger was amazing and went great with the sushi. They create such interesting rolls and the fake tuna and salmon were very realistic- I don’t know how they do it! I also loved the ‘shrimp’ tempura.

The service was great and there was a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. We had a great night and can’t wait to go back!

Pros: Inventive vegan rolls , Delicious food , Good value

Sushi made to perfection

We ordered a la carte (not bottomless) and were very happy with flavour and texture. The grilled eggplant was also delicious, as was desert. The place is nicely decorated and service is polite.

Good vegan bottomless sushi

We loved this dinning experience, good quality sushi, lovely location and spotless service. We were very surprised with the check cause didn’t know about the 2x1 on bottomless sushi of veganuary and that was a very positive surprise! 😂

Amazing bottomless sushi❤️

We had such a great experience here, enjoying the bottomless sushi❤️ the food was really delicious, would definitely bring non-vegans here to impress them. The 3D-printed steak was very interesting, almost scarily realistic. 

One of the highlights was our amazing waiter Carl who encouraged us to name little cat figurines on the table and seemed really interested in making sure we were enjoying everything and having a good time in general. He also remembered the names we gave the cats.

Pros: Amazing food, Great atmosphere , Carl❤️

Outstanding sushi

They have moved to a new location - 21 Stephen street.

They have a January deal on for 241 sushi, but you need to request it in advance when you book.

I’ve seen the other review for their new location and I have to say I’ve had the opposite experience. The staff were very attentive, constantly topped our water up and didn’t bat an eyelid when we ordered an inhumanly amount of sushi. Plates were cleared promptly.

I’d rush to go back and the full price of £34 is a bargain for the sushi quality.

They have faux fish nigiri and the texture is spot on. Highlights for me included the soy steak sushi (in the rainbow nigiri set), the dragon roll and the inari. Easily the most interesting and thoughtful sushi I’ve had as a vegan.

Pros: Attentive staff , Interesting and exciting options , Great value for money

New location not great

I took my friends here as I was blown away every time I visited their previous location. However this new location was a disappointment.
The staff were not on it.
When we arrived we were given a table right in front of the aircon where it was blowing cold air on our heads, despite being super cold outside. We asked if they could put it lower or otherwise we would need to move tables before ordering. They said yes we will put it lower. We asked 3 times during dinner and nothing was done.
We ordered bottomless sushi for the 4 of us and 2 bottles of wine and honestly it was hard to have our glasses topped up. We had to ask all the time as the bottle was on an ice bucket not reachable for us so they could serve it.
Same with the water.
Food was not as it was in the previous place at Fenwick.
The food on the plate hardly resembled what was served at the other location.
Honestly the service wasn't there this time.
It took a long time to get each of the plates as the service was quite slow and it was obvious the kitchen couldn't keep up with the restaurant.
It was also strange to eat with the kind of chopsticks that you get when you go to a cheap take away rather than proper chopsticks.
While I appreciate the whole idea of the place and it's great to have this kind of vegan restaurants, I did not appreciate the lack of service from your staff. From promising to change the aircon and ignored us (making it quite uncomfortable to eat, as my partner had to eat with his cap on) to the lack of service with the food and wine.
Such a shame as I talked so high about your place to my friends and then they were as dissatisfied as we were.

Sensational Sushi!!

There were so many delicious sushi items to choose from that we decided to do the all you can eat sushi. If you plan on ordering at least two rolls per person than it pays to do the all you can eat. However everyone at your table needs to do it as well.

We enjoyed everything we tried. They mistakenly brought us the tempura shrimp and told us to keep it and try it. It was good but not our favorite one. Our favorite was the dragon roll and the crispy rice green dynamite. #Veganuary

Pros: Yummy sushi, Easy to try different ones , Nice bright atmosphere

Cons: Service was slow at first.

It was ok

Ok food, we had the KFC burger, which had nice flavours but didn’t live up to the two chills on the menu, and we didn’t really rate the fake chicken. The duck bao buns were nice but would have been much better with a sauce, they were a bit dry and missing something, but the mock duck was really good. Jerk pops were great, nice flavour and very hot! Service was bordering on rude. #Veganuary

Lovely Food

Really enjoyed our food here. We had the duck bao to share to begin and then I had the Korean Fried Chicken burger. It was v quiet and the one server was attentive. We booked for 6, not realising the kitchen closed at 6.30, I think there should be a message when you book, so we got there half an hour early and there was plenty of space so we had a decent amount of time. You can stay after 6.30 until 8pm to finish your food. Being in the basement of Fenwicks they can't get much foot traffic but I would definitely go back, maybe on a different day when they are opened later.

Bad Service

Unfortunately very bad service. We waited forever to even get the menu cards, and we only got them through our own initiative. Then we had to call several times to finally be able to order. The dirty paper tablecloth was only briefly cleaned by hand instead of replacing it. I can't believe that this restaurant is supposed to be the best in London.

Nice quiet and leisurely lunch

Interesting setting inside a department store. It was quiet and there was one person working so it was a leisurely lunch.

We shared the sushi as appetizer and it was the best vegan sushi I’ve ever had. Just like the other reviews stated. The chickpea fries that came with the burger are really nice! Desert was just the right size.

Extraordinary tastes. Highly recommend.

Easily the best sushi I’ve had. I’m not one who searches for mock meats but the “fish” in their sushi tasted way better than any typical sushi. The duck bao also exceptional. Even the spices on the burger brought it a step higher.
Finished off with chocolate cake smothered in chocolate. All delicious.

Best sushi ever

This restaurant is incredible.
The sushi is delicious and has a lot of variety.
It was the first time I had vegan shrimp and I loved it.
The decor and atmosphere is very welcoming and the staff is very friendly.
