Best vegan sushi - Edit
By far some of the best vegan sushi I have ever had. I recommend visiting this restaurant if you are anywhere near the New Haven area. My favorite roll had to be the Salaam roll. The flavors were amazing and it was very filling.

They spoil you here! - Edit
This place is fantastic! I came for the great reviews of vegan sushi. I ordered two rolls at first. They gave me some free miso soup. Then, I ordered a third roll to go. They gave me some extra sushi in my bag! The waitstaff are very nice and attentive. If I lived in the area, I’d definitely visit again.
Read morePros: creative rolls, cute decor, friendly waitstaff
Cons: it’d be helpful if rolls were labeled vegetarian o

So Good It's Absurd - Edit
OK, this is just NUTS. The place absolutely spoils you for any other veg/vegan sushi ANYWHERE, and I've had tons of the stuff in many, many different places. "Fantastic" does not describe the food (and drinks) here. "Mind-blowing" is more like it. The restaurant has been there for more than 30 years, and is family-owned. There are plenty of vegan options on the (extensive, and completely original) menu, and they'll modify almost anything to order.
Read moreMy wife & I had lunch there today (2/18/15), and for about $50 (drinks & dessert included), had a meal that few (if any) restaurants could match. Everything (and I mean it) was terrific— and very imaginative! The unique (pumpkin-based) miso soup was the first thing we had, and what followed did not disappoint. Warm grape leaves with crispy eggplant, a sweet potato roll called "Kiss The Smiling Pig", vegan "Chicken" Teriyaki Roll, Curried Tempura Cauliflower Roll, and something called the "Hot Headed Cowgirl", which was simply extraordinary; you GOTTA try it!
Fans of sushi generally enjoy slices of pickled ginger, but once you've had the pickled ginger here, all others will pale in comparison. (Don't say I didn't warn you!) The sake drinks were excellent (and wildly creative), the (house-concocted) herbal teas were a marvel, and we had some sort of mini chocolate-nut-pastry thing for dessert ("Dynamite" something-or-other) that just about knocked our socks off.
The service was prompt and friendly, but it was a weekday afternoon, and the place was mostly empty— which I understand is NOT what happens at night, especially on weekends, so you may want to make reservations.
Ask for Bun (the owner), and tell him that Joe & Kathy say "Hey!"
Pros: Absurdly good food & drink, Wildly creative & original, "Sets the bar" for vegan sushi
Cons: Spoils you for any other sushi, I can't give it five stars, I can't give it SIX stars

Best vegetarian sushi menu I've ever seen - Edit
If you're going to be in New Haven, and you've ever liked sushi either before or after going veg, you seriously need to eat here. I wish I could give it 5 cows! Bun Lai, the head chef, is a local legend, very into sustainable practices and whimsical fusion creations. For you the vegetarian, this means "the largest vegetarian sushi menu in the world" (their phrase): around 15 cheap sushi items (8 rolls for $3.50) and another 2 dozen fancy options that range in higher prices. The descriptions are often more colorful than informative, but everything is surprising and wonderful. I've only had one actually disappointing roll here, and it was better the next time I had it. Eat everything! I usually order 1 fancy roll and 1 cheap roll per person for a very satisfying meal.
Read moreThey are Very vegan friendly. My fiance and I went and had the Very Hungry Caterpillar dinner (highly recommended to those with $50 to spend and faith in the sushi chefs), asked for the whole thing vegan, and they didn't even bat an eye. We ended up with 12!! different vegan sushis, all incredible and I didn't even miss the cheese I used to get in rolls here.
Sake menu is totally awesome, and the firecracker sake with hot red chilis in it is a local favorite. I also recommend the Tokyo 'Fro appetizer which has an absolutely worthless description on the menu, but is a great crunchy noodle dish with a tangy orange sauce (possibly not vegan?), very fun. Drink sake, eat sushi, omg. Although you will never again be satisfied with normal sushi places' lame avocado & cucumber roll options :(
Pros: incredibly creative, huge selection, great sake
Cons: fancy rolls are a little pricey

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED - Edit
I heard so much about this place and everything was right on!! This restaurant rocks, I am sorry I wasted my money at Ahimsa which is literally right across the steet. I started my meal off with two appetizers, the Tokyo fries and vegetable gyoza, which was okay but nothing compared to the main course. The shrimp avocado teriyaki roll and, ginger eggplant teriyaki roll. I thought I died and went to heaven. These warm rolls with the crispy outside coating melts in your mouth. Our waiter was very helpful in making suggestions being that it was my first time here.
Read moreThe sushi chef sent over 2 kwanzaa bananzaa rolls, (a coconut covered roll of shrimp, avocado, cream cheese, papaya, burdock & hot pepper) All was tasty and fresh, too full for dessert, perhaps next time,,,I will be back here, this is a keeper.
Pros: creative, excellent cuisine, friendly staff
Cons: can't stop eating, no room for dessert, can't think of a 3rd
