Absolute top quality

I go to get my lunch from Happy Maki quite often and have basically tried all that’s on offer on the menu. The ‘Crispy Cod’ has now bypassed the ‘Fully Loaded’ as my favourite. You should definitely go in and give it a go.... The popcorn cauliflower is out of this world too.

Pros: All vegan , Lots to choose from , Fantastic staff and concept

Delicious food!

I was recommended this place by a friend who tried their food out at Vegan nights previously, so a trip to Brighton meant having to have a pitstop at Happy Maki!

The food was absolutely lovely. Three of us ordered different things, and all three were very nice. I personally had the "Cod" burrito, and highly recommend it!

The popcorn cauliflower were nice but not amazing. Not sure how to describe it but a bit too deep fried for me.

The staff there were super amazing, and you could see they had a friendly vibe amongst themselves as well.

Pros: Good quality food, Friendly Staff

Cons: Small place, they need to expand!

Amazing. Forever favorite

Happy maki will never disappoint. Sushi burritos are so fresh and delicious. Their popcorn cauliflower pairs great with the spicy coconut sauce. Lovely staff

Pros: Fully vegan, Student discount

Delicious sushi burritos!

My boyfriend and I got a hoisin burrito, which was pretty tasty, and a Thai burrito, which was really good. We also got the popcorn cauliflower, which probably would have been better if we hadn’t gotten it to go, but which was still enjoyable.

Pros: Generous portions, Creative and tasty rolls, Friendly staff

Cons: They closed early and were only doing to-go

Unexpectedly delicious

I was a bit skeptical of a sushi burrito but WOW, I was blown away. It was so delicious and fresh. The rainbow roll is bright and yummy, would definitely recommend it. Happy Maki also sells loving earth chocolate which I’ve been dying to try for ages and it did not disappoint! Very impressed.

Best Takeaway Restaurant

We stayed at a hotel nearby, so we were very close to this beautiful place. The employees were always very nice and the food was amazing!

We tried all Maki rolls and all of them were really tasty. In particular we enjoyed the "Fully Loaded roll" and as side dish the Cauliflower Popcorn (especially recommended for colder days). So weve been there four times😄and were satisfied on every occasion.

Pros: Amazing Food+ Staff, Location near the Brighton Pier, Stamp Card

Cons: Eating in is more expensive, Limited space

Wonderful food, just a little cramped

Food is great, just not a lot of room inside to sit in - though the food definitely makes up for that!

Pros: tasty food, great choice, glitter toilet seat!, nice ambience

Cons: a bit cramped for indoor seating

Amazing food and incredibly friendly staff. Can’t wait to return.

Went to Happy Maki after seeing some posts on Instagram about how good the vegan food there is and oh my god I was not let down whatsoever. My sister and I got the ‘Sweet Chilli Chick’ and ‘Hoisin Duck’ wraps and then I also got the popcorn cauliflower too. All of it was to die for, great flavours, great seasoning. As a recent vegan convert this place would also be great to take your non vegan friends as the sauces they use just make it taste ‘like the real thing’. Can not wait to go back and try out the other flavours.

Pros: Many ‘meat’ and ‘non-meat’ options., Staff are very friendly and welcoming., Prices are very fair.

One of the best meals I've had in recent memory

Don't even CONSIDER eating somewhere else for lunch in Brighton.

The vibe in the restaurant itself is cool, but if it's not cold out you should take your food to-go and eat it down on the pebble beach a few hundred meters away. The sushi burritos are DELICIOUS. I didn't even know they exist before that meal, and after it I was ready to call them my favorite food. I don't know how they don't exist elsewhere. Seriously, I have dreams about those god damn burritos.

Though the burritos aren't too cheap, they're pretty large. The sides are also unbelievably tasty. We had the sweet potato fries, with teriyaki sauce on top, and they blew my mind. We had the cauliflower nuggets too, with some sort of coconut sauce on them, and they blew my mind again.

I don't know why I'll ever be back in Brighton, but I hope I am just so I can hit up this place again.

Pros: Delicious food, DELICIOUS food, DELICIOUS FOOD

Amazing Vegan Sushi

An entirely vegan sushi joint, serving "sushi burritos" - basically, giant sushi rolls!

The fillings were creative (I went for sweet potato fries) and the rolls were delicious and super-filling.

My only disappointment was that it's closed on Mondays, so I couldn't go back for seconds the next day!

Pros: 100% Vegan, Delicious Food, Friendly Staff

Cons: Closed on Mondays

Sushi is sushi

Very nice take away place, with the nicest people! The staff was always so friendly and helpful, I could go there again and again just to exchange a few words with them. I tried the hoisin duck and the sweet chilli chick sushi burritos, I liket the first one but thought the second one was way better! However, the highlight of the menu is the side of cauliflower with coconut sauce: simply amazing!

Amazing taste and great value

Had the fully loaded maki roll and some of the tofu pockets with spicy coconut sauce here to take out to the beach.
The food was really gorgeous, fresh and tasty and we had an ample lunch for a fiver each.
It is really conveniently located close to the pier and beach and great value.

Pros: Delicious food, Fresh and healthy, Good value

Fantastic Food!!!

This restaurant is amazing!! Literally the only bad thing we could think of to say is that they’re closed on Mondays. We went there for dinner on the first day of our honeymoon in Brighton, and we came away very pleased. We had two sushi rolls, sweet potato fries and tofu rice pockets. Everything was delicious! The staff were friendly and we couldn’t be more pleased! Highly recommended!!!!

Pros: All Vegan Menu, Filling Food, Good Value For Money

Cons: Closed on Mondays

So nice!

I would have loved to try everything! We had the sweet chili and the hoisin one and both were good. The fake chicken tastes really nice.
