Pretty disappointing

It's all vegan bowls and sushi burritos! Exciting!
Unfortunately the flavour wasn't there at all for me. I said yes to wasabi in the burrito, and I'm glad I did because without it I don't think I would have tasted anything at all.
The textures were nice. The service was friendly and quick, but for whatever reason I found it absent of flavour. Judging from other reviews other people have had better luck though!

Happy Maki

I have been looking forward to visiting Happy Maki for some time, however my visit left me quite underwhelmed. The quality and flavour of the food didn’t meet my expectations, particularly considering the price point. The satay sauce was basically a runny peanut butter, the burrito didn’t hold together well and fell apart on eating and for me flavour was really lacking. The food was fresh however and arrived quickly. Located up a flight of stairs on the first floor.

Super delicious and lovely vibes

Always really delicious sushi burritos and popcorn cauliflower! Today I had the Avocado Kiss and it was amazing - super fresh and filling and also good value for money.

I stop by whenever I’m in Brighton and love that they have a social cause going on too.

Would recommend!

Pros: Good sushi burrito options , Delicious sides , Good vibes

Great vegan lunch

Fully vegan restaurant serving Japanese style burritos, bowls and snacks. I had a fully loaded burrito and tempura cauliflower, both were delicious. Limited selection of drinks, I had a roobos tea. They don't serve coffee or alcohol. Great place for a casual lunch 👌

Pros: Selection of vegan food, Quick service, Not too expensive

Cons: Would have liked to have a coffee

Absolutely delicious!

Easily one of the best raw meals I’ve ever had. The satay rice and bean bowl were a decent portion and could be split with another person. The tofu pockets had the right amount of sweetness to them. The milkshake was the perfect consistency. It was super filling too. Ready working minutes of ordering. No complaints or cons.

Amazing sushi burrito

I tried the hoisin burrito; I was so hungry and worried it wouldn’t be enough but it was filling. The flavour was delicious and service was quite fast. You can fill up your water bottle here too.

Perfect

I've just moved to Brighton and this is my ideal vegan place, my favourite type of food done to perfection. I'm not a big fan of vegan junk food but I need more than a salad. I think I will need self-discipline not to go to Happy Maki every day as I'd like to try each menu item. Mostly all of the dishes were celiac friendly and my meat-eating vegan skeptic friend loved her food too. Staff also super friendly and helpful. We took the food away to eat on the beach but the restaurant was chic and spacious. I'll definitely be back (again and again) and will remember to take pictures!

Pros: Perfect food that's also healthy, Fast and friendly service, Chic atmosphere

Cons: None

Real Happy Me/aki

This wholesome place is one of the reason I come back to Brighton every year in May (The Great Escape Festival being the main reason;). Their sushi burritos are delicious (my current fav is the Sweet Chili Chick £7.80) and made rapidly in front of you. The concept of the restaurant (non-profit) and costs transparency are great. It probably would be ma favourite take-away on earth if they used local, seasonal and organic products.

Pros: fast, Non-profit restaurant

So delicious!

There is so many different types of sushi to choose from, I love that it’s in a wrap so is a lot easier to eat and the flavour combinations are amazing!

Filling rolls

A massive favourite with my gang, great big filling sushi rolls with a great selection of fillings. Cute space to sit in or handy to take away to the beach😄

Always visit when in Brighton

We always pay Happy Maki a visit when we’re in Brighton, also if they’re ever catering at festivals too! The sushi wraps are delicious as is the cauliflower side. Looking forward to visiting again soon.
