#BEYOND SUSHI LOCATIONS SKIN#
People seem to forget that avocado rolls, cucumber rolls and tofu skin inari are all staples that are 100% vegan. One great thing about any sushi restaurant is that there is always a vegan option. They go the mock-meat and fish route which is less healthy but so incredibly mouth-watering! We’ve been here several times, once with vegetarian friends who kept asking us, “are you sure this isn’t meat?” My other favorite vegan sushi place in New York City is Bodhi Kosher Vegetarian Restaurant. The staff was always pleasant, seating was always available and the sushi is made behind clear glass that shows all the ingredients – great for YouTube fiends like myself. I have gone to various locations and they were all equally amazing. Seriously, if I won the lottery I’d probably die from over-eating here.īeyond Sushi has been so popular that they have expanded to six locations with a promised seventh on the Upper East Side. When I do go, I go all out and gorge myself on sushi goodness. It’s not ridiculous by New York City standards but it’s far from affordable to the average Joe. The only thing holding me back from eating here every time I visit the city is the price. The restaurant also offers dumplings, desserts and other Japanese-style delicacies that are all plant-based. There is so much flavor in each bite that even soy-sauce freaks like me take it easy to enjoy the taste.

These rolls made with natural ingredients are to die for. Avocado, mango, pickled cabbage, mushrooms and black rice are the most common elements of their rolls. While many vegan sushi places that I have been to have focused on mock-fish, this particular place features natural ingredients. This goes for all types of sushi, even vegan. Sushi is my go-to answer to the question “if you had to eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be.” It is definitely a cheat answer because sushi is so incredibly versatile. Does Beyond Sushi taste at all like raw salmon belly? No, of course not. One of the best culinary moments of my life involved eating raw fish in Ginza, Japan. I would literally dream of eating salmon nigiri.

Like many people, I was just obsessed with raw fish. Sushi was the one thing preventing me from going fully vegan when I first decided to change my eating habits.
