Great vegan options - Edit
There are so many clearly labeled vegan things here. I tried the avocado tempura sushi and curry udon, both were delicious.

Cute Japanese spot with a full vegetarian menu (4/5 green stars) - Edit
Went to Kiku Sushi in Lafayette for dinner and the staff were welcoming and efficient, even on a busy night. A main attraction for me is that there’s a full vegetarian menu, so you can find dishes beyond avocado roll and don’t have to worry about whether they contain fish stock or flakes. Memorable dish: Nasu Miso, which is grilled Japanese eggplant with sweet miso, $9.50.
Read moreKiku has a sister restaurant in Berkeley – I enjoyed eating at both of them – service, food, and ambiance were solid in both branches. For those looking for fully vegan Japanese restaurants in Berkeley, I can also recommend Cha-ya or Tane Vegan Izakaya, both of which are on Shattuck Ave.
I’m also giving Kiku Sushi 4/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact.
• Both branches of Kiku have an emphasis on vegetarian items with a fully vegetarian menu that helps avoid any confusion or mistakes while ordering.
• The menu does feature fish and a couple of chicken or pork dishes, but avoids the most climate-unfriendly meats – beef and lamb.
• Fyi, if you want to choose climate-friendly fish, then small pelagic fish (sardines, mackerel, anchovies), farmed bivalves (oysters, mussels, scallops), and some wild salmonids (salmon and trout) are your best bets. Avoid crustaceans such as shrimp, prawns, crabs, and lobster.
• Kiku doesn’t provide any information on sourcing of fish or other ingredients.

Pros: A full range of vegetarian options, Friendly staff, Casual, fun atmosphere

Amending review to 3 stars. Not sure if they got new owners but the food quality and presentation went way down.

5 star vegan sushi - Edit
Beats going all the way to SF to get expensive vegan sushi at Shizen. I think it's better actually! Every single vegan roll is delicious. I don't miss fish sushi one bit. All the vegan options are on a separate part of the menu and take out is always on point.

Great rolls! Lots of flavors and textures in each. Yummy appetizers. Tasty Japanese beer and sake. Hip location just off the main drag. Servers are sweet. Owner is friendly and personable.

Great Vegan Sushi!!! - Edit
My girlfriend stumbled upon this newer sushi restaurant and we couldn’t have been more pleased with everything! We ordered 5 different rolls for takeout and our favorites were the Ninja Roll, the Kiku Roll, and the Sunshine Roll. The staff was extremely polite and courteous. They double and triple checked our order to make sure it was perfect. We will definitely be eating there more often!

GREAT Vegan Options - Edit
This place has a separate vegetarian menu and a good amount of veg specific rolls. They don't just have the typical, boring veg options...they put some thought into it. They have creative and unique veg option which are delicious and refreshing.

Fantastic vegan/vegetarian options - Edit
My husband and I just tried this super neat little sushi restaurant on Lafayette Circle in Lafayette. The food was outstanding, so creative and delicious. They have a very expansive menu and a fantastic selection of vegetarian and vegan options. The interior ambiance is really nice as is the outdoor dining space. It's located on a quiet section of Lafayette Circle with minimal road noise. Really like this place!

Fantastic vegan sushi! - Edit
If you long for a venue with an extensive vegan sushi menu with dozens of choices for maki, soups, specialty rolls and nigiri sushi (they even have natto!) in a kicked back friendly restaurant, Kiku Sushi and Vegetarian is the place to be.
Read moreLocated in Lafayette's downtown area, it's just off Diablo Blvd with plenty of free parking available. They also have an outdoor patio in addition to the spacious indoors. Staff is friendly and attentive.
We can't wait to go back!
Pros: excellent vegan sushi selections, great service, nice modern decor
