Best vegan sushi - Edit
The best vegan sushi I’ve ever had. Came here twice out of four nights as we had to have it again. Freshly made, good portions, and nice staff- listen to their recommendations! ❤️

Amazing starters - Edit
Friendly service and incredible starters - really recommend the cauliflower- such a generous portion too!
Read moreThe sushi was also good - not super fancy but decent. I enjoyed the maki sushi and the mx sushi was okay - I think we were curious about refried beans in sushi so ordered. Lots of options on the menu that I would have also loved to have tried.

Creative and super delicious sushi - Edit
We ate one of the best sushi’s ever! TROPI with mango was our definite favourite 🤤 But if you are looking for plain simple usual vegan sushi’s with just avocado, cucumber it’s maybe not for you…

Amazing sushi restaurant - Edit
Service was 100%, food was really good and the dishes were super special!
Read moreI definitely want to go again if I return to Medellin.
Edit:
I came here again and I had different dishes- even better than the previous ones! We were 3 so we shared 2 sushi rolls (tropical one is perfect), the seasonal dish which was Korean and so so good and the gyozas which we all loved!
Definitely check this place out of you like sushi.
Also had the vegan lemon cake (they added a candle for my birthday) with the ice cream and it was delightful.

Good interesting flavour combinations - Edit
We grabbed some sushi rolls, gyoza and cauliflower bites for takeaway. The cauliflower and gyoza were absolutely delicious, as we're the cauliflower bites. The sushi was not the best I've had, but it was nothing to sniff at and the flavour combinations were interesting. My favourites were the maki roll and the MX roll. I would come back again if I were in the city for longer.

Swing and a miss - Edit
This place has so much potential but unfortunately it has been a big disappointment. I used to go here years ago when I lived here but since then the staff has changed. The ramen was difficult to finish, the noodles were practically raw and the broth just tasted like mushrooms. After returning to try something else next time the server decided to cater to a table of 4, ordering their drinks, appetizers, and sushi all before even handing me a menu. I left after waiting almost ten minutes for a menu. I tried again a few weeks later and waited 25 minutes before they told me they forgot to put in my order and asked me to repeat the order so they could put in the order then. I obviously wasn’t going to wait another 25 minutes so I left without eating. Again.
Read moreThis place has the worst service of any veggie restaurant in Medellin and the food is not good enough to make it worth it.

Vegan sushi - Edit
We had excellent vegan sushi in Lisbon last summer, so I was curious how Helecho would compare. We stopped by for dinner and ordered four rolls, including one of the specials.
Read moreThe server placed our chopsticks on adorable little rabbit netsukes, and we were given the typical mustard/ginger/soy seasonings plus bowls of shredded pickled veggies.
When the food arrived, the rolls were so generous that we thought we might have leftovers. Nope. We scarfed it all down and ordered desserts after that.
I can't really describe the rolls other than to say that these were very different from veg sushi I've had at home, usually rice & avocado because there aren't many vegan options in California. I could taste cornmeal and garbanzo, and, yes, avocado and rice too.
Service was efficient, people super friendly, and at one point the staff all started singing a favorite song along with the sound system which was very cute and added a homey touch.

Get the MX roll! - Edit
Nice place and friendly staff. The food takes a while to arrive. Also, do note they charge 3% extra for card payments.
Read moreHonestly, after reading reviews and from what I was told by friends, I expected a lot more.
We went a bit crazy and got 4 rolls, which was too much for two, but we wanted to try the different ones (if only one could get half and half). The Golden Roll was mediocre. Nice breading, but nothing else. The Tropi Roll was nice. I did not expect the combination to work, but it did. Especially the mango. The MX Roll was the star! Absolutely delicious, like a taco in sushi format. Definitely try this one! The Tempura Roll was a bit better than the golden, but just average.
Overall, with two fails, I it's a weak 4.5, saved by the MX Roll.
Pros: Various rolls and other options
Cons: Slow service

So much to try - Edit
Really nicely presented and flavoursome food. Staff are attentive and friendly and there are so many tasty options.
Read moreFor a big fill, you’ll probably spend more here than in your usual Medellin restaurant (10 rolls are around $25-30k and you’d probably need a side too), but we felt it was well worth it!

Decent vegan sushi - Edit
Large sushi rolls and a lot of creativity. The presentation is great, but the flavors are a little odd. It's good, but not great. I have had a lot of vegan sushi all over the world and this place definitely was not my favorite, but the ice cream is delicious.
