Great vegan sushi - Edit
This little sushi restaurant has a separate vegan menu. Sadly I don’t remember exactly what we had. One item was a crunch roll which was awesome. The sushi came with sauce drizzled on top so it didn’t need soy sauce or wasabi for flavour.

I completely agree that Kamakura is a great find. I frequently enjoy their vegan jalapeno poppers and grilled onion nigiri. They even include a vegan item on their HH menu.

Separate, Extensive Vegan Menu - Edit
The food was delicious. So many choices on the standalone vegan menu. Service was excellent. Great setting, in the Fremont neighborhood, for a relaxing meal.

Fantastic vegan menu - Edit
Terrific vegan menu with an extensive selection of vegan rolls, nigiri, apps, and entres. I’m used to the “vegan” menu being a veggie burger and a salad, very nice to have a variety of options, and everything we ordered was great. Loved the “Welcome To Vegan World” roll!!

Fantastic - Edit
There is a full vegan separate menu with so many vegan delightful sushi and other entrees and a vegan chef preparing those dishes. I loved ever bite I had there. Also the atmosphere is nice and the waiters friendly. Small space though, if you’re done eating you are kindly presented the check real fast.

tons of vegan options - Edit
i love that this place has a separate vegan menu with tons of options rather than the typical veggie rolls. i got the death by crunch roll (7/10) and california rolls (reg and spicy, both 9/10). also got the ‘tuna’ nigiri but wasn’t a huge fan. i’m so used to just getting avocado rolls it was nice to have new fun options!!

Extensive separate vegan menu and inventive vegan sushi. - Edit
I love that I can go here with my non-vegan family and we can all have a great meal. Their vegan menu is extensive so it’s a nice change of pace to have so many choices. I usually keep it simple and just get the California roll. Order takeout a lot!

Trying to give five stars - Edit
I tried to give Kamakura five stars, because it's my favorite restaurant, but Happy Cow (understandably) reserves five stars for fully-vegan restaurants. To my husband and me, Kamakura "feels" like a fully vegan restaurant, because of their separate, extensive, vegan menu; you don't need to wade through a menu looking for V's or such to indicate the possibilities. I love cooking, so we rarely go to restaurants, but when we want to do something special (an anniversary or such) we always choose Kamakura.

Separate Vegan Menu is a Plus - Edit
Kamakura was suggested as they have an extensive vegan friendly menu with a variety of rolls to try. I figured this would be as good as anytime to see how their vegan sushi stacks up to what I've had in the past.
Read moreI ordered their Vegan Dragon Roll ($13) and their Google It Roll ($15). The dragon roll was pretty unimpressive if I'm behind honest. It felt like a tofu-CA roll with slices of tofu on top. The Google roll was a lot more interesting and inventive, though the unagi sauce overpowered most of the dish. Overall, a very average sushi experience.
I also ordered a side of their Seaweed Salad but wasn't impressed with the small amount I received.
Overall, a very standard Japanese spot and although I appreciate the vegan options, one of the rolls simply didn't cut it for me.
Pros: Dedicated vegan menu

More than just sushi! - Edit
I've been coming to Kamakura since they opened their Seattle location and they never disappoint. Their sushi is good and I've had it a few times but for me, the real draw is the rest of the vegan menu: tempura, curry rice, udon... (They used to have a great vegan okonomiyaki but I haven't seen it on the menu in a long while.)
Read morePortions are big and prices are very reasonable. The curry rice with fried tofu is my favorite and I usually get two meals out of it since it's so much food. This visit I had the agedashi tofu too - it was good but not prepared traditionally. They used firmer tofu cut into bigger pieces, making it harder to eat then agedashi tofu usually is. My husband had the tempura udon and it was delicious.
Some nights they're absolutely slammed by both dine in and take out orders, so you might be waiting a while for a table/your food.
Pros: Big portions, Good prices, Separate vegan menu
Cons: Parking is hell at peak hours

Separate Vegan menu!! - Edit
I actually ordered from this place on Uber eats because I was craving some vegan “sushi” style dishes. This place does not list that they have vegan options on Yelp, but they have an entire vegan menu! They have vegan appetizers, entrees, classic rolls, premium rolls and vegan nigiri. I was blown away with the quality of food especially since I had it delivered. I ordered 2 crunch inari and the Vegan cream on fire roll. The cream on fire roll is a Vegan California Roll with vegan tuna on top covered in special creamy sauce torched to gold brown finish with another layer of creamy sauce. It was hands down the best vegan sushi I have ever had. Their vegan tuna is made using marinated tomato and I typically do not like tomato so the fact that I loved this shows you how well it was flavored. Their vegan crab for the California roll is made using tofu and extremely delicious. My only regret is not finding this place sooner and actually eating at the restaurant since their photos online show a nice ambiance and great food presentation. My food was finished pretty quickly and packed with care so it appears their service for online orders is pretty top notch.

First time trying vegan nigiri & It looked like the real deal! - Edit
I ordered the 'Go Google It' Roll, and the Vegan Tuna Nigiri.
Read moreThe tuna nigiri was FREAKY. But in a good way! I believe they use tomato for the 'fish'. And it literally looked exactly like tuna. Like I couldn't even tell it was vegan by looking at it and also texture was sorta similar. It didn't taste like fish per say, but it was pretty good 8/10! I really missed having nigiri and I was extremely happy to have that experience again.
The Google roll was okay. It tasted like the typical American-Japanese sushi experience. (Which I'm not the biggest fan of) Didn't even miss the fish. The roll size was way too large for me to eat in one go, unfortunately, so I had to kind of pick it apart to eat. 6/10
Overall, I'd definitely go back and try all the different nigiri!
Pros: Entire Vegan Menu, Vegan Appetizers , Free Wifi
Cons: Expensive, No Cellular Connection in Resturant

Great vegan options - Edit
They have a huge variety of vegan options, and everything we ordered was delicious. It felt very indulgent and a little heavy for sushi, but that's probably due to the choices we made when ordering. I'm sure there are some lighter options if you're looking for them. We did takeout, so I don't know what the dine-in experience is like.

I love this place! It it always busy and I can see why. So many vegan options!! - Edit
So many sushi options and appetizer options. I had the potstickers and they were fried and so delicious! I also got the jalaspicy roll and death by crunch roll. Those 2 are my favorite but I have also tried some of the other vegan rolls as well. You really can’t go wrong!

Best vegan sushi I've ever had - Edit
Ask for the vegan menu and go ham. The variety is astounding. Rather than having to be satisfied with a simple veggie roll, Kamakura goes out of its way to make vegan equivalents to well known non-vegan rolls.

Amazing sushi - Edit
Possibly the best vegan sushi I've had, which I say begrudgingly after loving many other spots like Beyond Sushi and Buntopia having lived in NYC. Completely separate vegan menu was really comforting and lots of options.

Some of the best vegan sushi anywhere - Edit
I’ve had vegan sushi at a number of different places across the US and Europe and this is legitimately some of the best vegan sushi I’ve ever had. Has an entire separate vegan menu and is delicious. If you like sushi this is a must visit. There’s also another location (the original restaurant) further south in Lacey, WA that might be even better.

Great Sushi! - Edit
Huge vegan menu that they have as a separate QR code from the non-vegan menu! Not only a great selection of sushi but also appetizers and drinks! The atmosphere in the restaurant was really cute and the staff very friendly. We appreciated having a button to call wait staff so that we could order and have service when we were ready. Highly recommend the death by crunch roll, we will be coming back regularly!

Impressive vegan options - Edit
Loved the vegan tuna nigiri and jalaspicy roll. I’d like to see more vegan nigiri or sashimi on the menu in the future. Can’t wait to try more of their rolls. The vegan unagi sauce was pretty damn good. Also surprised to not see vegan miso soup. That seems like it would be easy to do.

So delicious! - Edit
I’d give their vegan menu a 5 if this app allowed me! They have SO many vegan options on a completely separate menu and it was hard to choose so I ended up getting two sushi rolls: the Vegan death by crunch and Vegan Google It rolls. My partner had yakisoba and loved that too. Highly recommend this place! Best way to view their menu before going is via clover so you can select the vegan categories to view. Or if you go there you can scan the vegan menu QR code and that’s what we did, it was very easy and clear that way.

Got the vegan California roll and vegan yakisoba. The yakisoba was a huge portion! Both were super good, but tbh nothing super special! Come eat here if you’re nearby! The big vegan menu is def the biggest reason to come here!
