Sushi!

Finally got to try this place out for their NYE event. Fantastic way to sample their offerings, and am excited to go back for their normal menu.

Best Japanese vegan spot ever

Amazing vibe, super nice spot, wonderful staff and very unique vegan twist on Japanese dishes! 5* food!
Book in advance!!
(And bring a sweater as I’ve found it really cold inside…)

Cons: Expensive (but worth the price!), Very cold inside (to my preference)

Loved it

The food was amazing. Had the meatballs, volcano maki and California roll and all dishes were 10/10. Everyone on staff was great and for Austin the prices were pretty reasonable. Given the quality of food it was definitely value for money. Highly recommended.

Pros: Extensive menu , Delicious , Great staff

Just amazing!

The whole menu is plant-based so there is zero need for substitution. The ingredients list will make you want to but even if it says “cream cheese”, it’s a vegan one. This is an upscale Japanese cuisine experience and it didn’t disappoint.

Pros: Vegan Sushi, Vegan drinks and desert , Vegan everything

Excellent dinner spot

The food was incredible, service was delightful, cocktails were great, etc. No complaints!

Get the red cabbage and the rainbow roll. The Manhattan roll was also excellent. The cake was great too!

Pros: Amazing food, Excellent service

Awesome upscale restaurant

Exciting to finally have an upscale vegan Japanese restaurant in Austin. Make sure you get a reservation because it gets busy.

I was surprised to see that the sushi wasn’t trying to imitate fish so much as highlighting the unique plant flavors, but we really enjoyed that. Our server also recommended the Squash puff appetizer, which was incredible and the best part of the meal.

Update: the ramen is amazing! Definitely worth for a separate cheaper option. Also the pb shake was so good.

Solidly delicious Japanese food

Love getting vegan makis without having to bear the smell of raw fish! The miso soup is also delicious. The wasabi vodka cocktail was also yummy.

Pros: Pricey but worth it, No fish smell, Attentive and knowledgeable wait staff

Eat here-trust me

Delicious vegan sushi! We got the miso soup, tatume squash, beet fries, volcano roll, shiitake roll & dragon roll and they were all out of this world! I’m pretty sure that any and every thing on the menu will be incredible. Ambiance and staff were also wonderful!

Pros: Entire menu is vegan, Best flavors-seriously!, Wonderful service.

Cons: A little pricey, but not enough to keep me away!

Great food! Not so great pricing and portions

The food was quite tasty, however it could use some spice. The presentation is great. The pricing is expensive for such little portions. I enjoyed my time but will not be returning.

Pros: Lots of Vegan options, Tasty, Presentation and atmosphere

Cons: Expensive, Small portions

Final vegan sushi in Austin

We loved everything, we used to drive to Houston to get vegan sushi. A bit worried this is 2.5 hours closer, could become a habit. Everything was fresh and plentiful.

Pros: Options, Price, Parking

Oof, wanted to love it but it just wasn’t great.

All around disappointed. I’ve been spoiled by amazing vegan sushi elsewhere, the rice was cold and nothing special about other dishes. Ambiance tries to be upscale but it just doesn’t hit the mark, felt overpriced for what it was.

Pros: Vegan

Cons: Over priced, Weird service, Cold rice

Where is “elsewhere”? Genuinely curious. I’ve had sushi in big cities in the US at least, and this place I thought was great. Curious as to what other places you refer to.

Great place!

The ambience was great and the staff was friendly. I loved the gyoza and the meatball grill from the appetizers section. The mock meatballs were undistinguishable from the actual ones, I wish they had this in the main course option too.
I tried the volcano and the creamy crunch maki rolls, both were good but I preferred the volcano more.

Just An Echo of Other Comments 😁

Everything is exactly as I expected. High quality and attention to detail. We went there on a very busy Friday night and they were keeping up like champions. The only wait time we had was for the lava cake. Can't wait to go back and try the ramen!

Pros: Dedicated Japanese cuisine , Ambiance

Cons: Restaurant is too small for all the vegans lol

Simply delicious!

This is vegan sushi at its best! One of the best sushi places that I've been to. We ordered 8 different Maki rolls for 4 of us, including a chef's special (we only missed dragon and California from the menu). Everything was yummy. Each one had distinct flavors. We all loved everything, except some of us didn't like the tuna roll because it smelt like real fish! Volcano, creamy crunchy, spider were my favorites. We also tried the chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream. That was delicious too!

Pros: Japanese vegan options in Austin, Variety of flavors, Vegan fine dining
