Excellent Sushi Spot - Edit
This sushi restaurant has a good selection of vegan options, clearly marked on the menu. It has a nice counter area where you can people/car watch as you eat.
Read moreWe had a Basil Lemonade, which had a lovely fresh basil flavour. To start we had Kimchi Gyoza/Dumplings, these had a nice crunch on the outside with a soft centre. For main we had the Sushi Boat which was well presented and something quite unique. All the sushi we had on the boat was really tasty and well prepared.
Recommended stop off for a light lunch when visiting La Fortuna.
Pros: Sushi Boat, Plenty of Vegan Options Available

Ein Muß für Sushi Liebhaber - Edit
Ich habe zum ersten Mal veganes Shusi gegessen, und es war toll. Wir hatten als Vorspeise die Spicy Edamame und zur Hauptspeise den veganen Spicy Tofu und die Fuji Rolls. Dazu gab es Sojasoße, Wasabi und Ingwer. Es war ein Geschmackserlebnis. Man sollte sich aber auf jeden Fall 2 Sachen teilen/bestellen, da es sonst zu viel von einer Sorte ist. Die Bedienung war super nett. Hat uns noch vegane Tipps für die Weiterreise gegeben. Es gibt einen schönen Außenbereich, also wirklich zu empfehlen.

Amazing Vegan sushi - Edit
Had the spicy edamame and the Fuji sushi roll. Both amazing. The Fuji roll came with 10 pieces so was large and filling. Definitely try this place when in La Fortuna.

Get the sushi boat! - Edit
All the prices here are in US dollars. You can pay either in US dollars or in colones. Choose US dollars as the amount was actually higher in colones!
Read moreWe chose the sushi boat for 30 US dollars. They say it takes 30mins to prepare.
Sushi boat nr. 1 includes 3 rolls plus nigiri (not sure if they have vegan ones)
Sushi boat nr. 2 includes 3 rolls plus 2 miso soups
Sushi boat nr. 3 includes 4 rolls.
We chose nr. 4 and got Pachamama, grasshopper, crispy onion (my bf's favorite) and spicy tofu (my favorite).
Taste was great and it's a huge portion! We almost couldn't finish!
Pros: Sushi boat!

Fantastic Sushi - Edit
What a gem! The Sushi boat was phenomenal. We enjoyed each flavor that we ordered on it. Crunchy onion was our #1. Would also recommend the spicy tofu. May need to go back for more before we leave La Fortuna.

Great vegan meal overall - Edit
Great recommendation getting the sushi boat. As of April 2024 it was $30. Boat 2 has 30 pieces (choose from 3 out of 6/7 veggie options) with two miso soups. The rolls were great as was the miso soup. Our son also had the Vegetarian miso ramen which he enjoyed.
Read moreNote that the chili Guaro shot is delicious but I was told later it has clamato. Do avoid.
Service was excellent. Would come again.

Great for vegans - Edit
My bf and I were having trouble finding good vegan food in La Fortuna, and this place knocked it out of the park. We got a sushi boat and they have plenty of options, at a decent price for the area. As an added plus, the drinks were amazing! Highly recommend the passion fruit margarita.

Great variety of vegan rolls - Edit
We had a vegan sushi boat and it was wonderful. Some better than others, but unfortunately we couldn't remember which was which lol. Even though it says to choose only from the vegan boat menu, the waitstaff said that vegans can choose from any of the veggie rolls on the menu. The rolls are surprisingly large, one roll has 10 pieces. Felt indulgent to be able to fill a whole sushi boat with vegan sushi!
Read morePros: Lots of different vegan rolls, Rolls are big!, You can make a reservation

KILLER sushi! Don't miss! - Edit
The sushi boat that I got here blew me away. It was pretty affordable (compared to US prices) and had some sushi combinations that I've never tried before. The vegan menu is expansive and clearly marked, and you can create your own roll combo or vegan boat. I ate half of mine and ate the other half the next day. It kept really well and was overall delicious!

Cons: Not all vegan
