Plant based Sushi

Small chain fully plant based Japanese restaurant . I had mushrooms sushi, tuna sushi, and potstickers. I liked the mushroom but the other two were not that great. I am spoiled by Shizen in San Francisco so this doesn't match up to that. But it is lower cost than Shizen and more casual and you don't need reservations. Maybe other items might be better.

Pros: All vegan . Lots of options, Small cozy restaurant, Presentation

Cons: Some of options were not that tasty or creative

Could be better

Dumplings were really nice, but sushi was only okay - nothing special. There was mayo on the sushi and sriracha on the dumplings, which is a minus.

Fair but a bit mid

If this wasnt fully vegan, i’d give a lower rating. The shiitake truffle dumplings came glazed in a sweet ketchup like sauce - i couldnt taste anything but that. The spicy ”salmon” sushi didnt taste very fishy and had overpowering snack lemon slices. The service was friendly and there was a noisy vegan family next to me, which both delighted and annoyed me. Electric outlets everywhere😄

Just okay

I really wanted to like this more than I did. Nothing tasted bad, but the other reviews may have hyped it up a bit. I don’t know that I would go back though I love that it’s all vegan. The wrap was probably my preferred item of the 4 dishes I split with the person I dined with.

Pros: All vegan, Kind staff, Cozy interior

Cons: Wish sushi rolls weren’t overpowered by spicy mayo, Wish dumplings hadveggies only,not meat substitute

Wonderful

Whoo hooo!! Great flavors and a creative menu. I had two rolls (mighty mushroom and rainbow) and some dumplings and walked out of there very very full. :).

Nice staff, quick service. Maybe a touch pricy but, I really enjoyed the meal. Easily could have skipped one dish but I wanted to try more flavors. Do it!

Enjoyable

I'd been to the other location, so I decided to check this one out while waiting to check into the hotel.

I love mushrooms, so I got the Mighty Mushroom roll. I also got the Five Spice Chicken Dumplings and the Uber Cheesecake to dine in. I got a Nutty Buddy wrap to go.

The mushroom roll has black rice and has the full mushroom flavor and umami taste that I enjoy. Very tasty. The dumplings are crowd pleaser and has fresh, clean flavors.

The cheesecake was the star! It was dense, but not too rich and was very flavorful. It's chocolate fudge with ginger crumble. Excellent!

Great food!

Great service, did a great job of accommodating a serious allergy, great food.

The spicy tofu ramen was kind of weird though. With the slices of corn that you had to kind of pull out and chew the kernels off, and the baby bok choy that you had to saw, but didn't have a knife.

Over the Top

...as in exorbitantly expensive. Unless you're going for the lunch specials 11am-3pm, you're paying too much, especially since they only offer white, not brown rice for their sushi.

P.S. warning: be especially attentive when paying bill, either by cash or credit, that you're being charged appropriately, and/or getting back correct change!

Pros: Shoyu Ramen Bowl good but $$$, Price break 11am-3pm

Cons: After 3pm, prices go sky high!, Watch out for sticky fingers at cash register!
