Great fully vegan sushi (or beyond)

Place is nice, spacious, organized.

Service was decent, but I would give it 4 stars probably.

Food was beautiful and well made. I ordered two different rolls and they were both nice. I do prefer more traditional rice rolls, so it was not the kind of food that I like most, nevertheless it's a matter of taste, so I am still giving them 5 stars.

Pros: Fully vegan, Well made and beautiful food, Nice place overall

Cons: Service could be better, More traditional options would be nice, A bit pricey

GET YOUR SUSHI FIX BUT DON'T EXPECT MUCH OF SERVICE

In a nutshell:
Outstanding vegan sushi fare in the heart of Manhattan that unfortunately lacks service.

THE BEST
The sushi is the star here, the zalmon texture is close to the organic life but the flavor was lacking, compared to other visits. The roll was good but it wouldn't be able to stand by itself without the soy sauce. The dark brown sushi was better overall, including the construction -many of my rainbow roll pieces came apart even before adding soy sauce- but still not an A, more like B- or C+. The sake and the dessert were by far the best out of the whole experience. The sake looked like lychee juice and the alcohol level was low, compared to other sakes I've had in the past, with a very delicate flavor profile. The cheesecake is better than the matcha ice cream, but if you do have room, order two! It's very creamy, tastes similar to ruby cacao, and is the reason any chocolate lover MUST order!

THE WORST
It is obviously not my first visit here and neither to their now defunct SoHo location, but the excellent menu and flavors keep us Vegan folks back. My very first visit was quite a memorable event... At other times the service has been at least warm enough to match the caliber of the food, but not now. The service was transactional at best, I had to ask for my table to be cleaned (they didn't, just picked up the dish) and pretty much he was either checking out his mobile or chatting with his colleague. The ambiance is blah, it needs a good playlist. The cook or whoever seems to be the link between the kitchen and the front of the house was more amiable in delivering the dishes than the server who took the orders. I'm not planning on returning in the foreseeable future.

Pros: Varied sushi flavors, Delicious dessers

Cons: Orders may take awhile, Very transactional service

On an overnight trip to NYC and picked this place at random. WoW! What a discovery. Clean, great menus, fabulous service and outstanding food. Don’t hesitate for a moment longer - book.

I loved it! Great concept with delicious food. The "chicken" dumplings and the mushroom sushi are definitely a recommendation. With the lunch menu, the prices are also fair.

MUST TRY THE SPICY SALMON ROLL

One of the best rolls I've ever had. I'm still not over how good it was, how perfect the consistency, the taste... Wow! Even my non-vegan friend was amazed. It is a premium roll, so it is more expensive, but definitely worth it. We ordered other things as well, which weren't as impressive, but still very good. My favorites after the spicy salmon rolls were the beef dumplings and the mushroom rolls - both delicious. Spicy tuna and charred avocado rolls were just okay, nothing special. It was a lot of food and the portions were quite filling, so unfortunately we had no space left for dessert. I would definitely come back to try other items from their menu!

Beyond Sushi delivers an exceptional dining experience for vegans and non-vegans alike. It's a place where creativity meets culinary expertise, resulting in dishes that are not only visually appealing but also incredibly delicious. Whether you're a sushi enthusiast, a vegan food lover, or simply looking for a unique dining experience, Beyond Sushi is a must-visit destination.
The service at Beyond Sushi was top-notch. The staff members were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, which made the ordering process smooth and enjoyable. They were also accommodating to dietary preferences and allergies, which I greatly appreciated.

Best Sushi in New York City

Beyond Sushi is an incredible spot for inventive sushi that happens to be fully plant-based. I am absolutely in love with this spot.

The decor and service were both excellent. It feels like you're dining high end with prices that honestly match any other restaurant in New York.

We started with their Chick'n Dumplings ($11) and Spicy Salmon Tartare ($18), and both were incredible. The dumplings were some of the best I've had and the tartare was impeccable. This was my favorite dish of the evening.

For our main rolls, we tried the Spicy Jackfruit Crab ($17) and the Smoky Dragon ($17), and let me tell you - definitely some of the best vegan sushi I've ever had. The smoky dragon had a complex flavor profile with the eggplant unagi and ponzu glaze. It was simply delicious and both rolls were top notch.

Don't forget dessert - their Ube Cheesecake ($14) was absolute heaven. The cashew-based treat was perfect to close out a wonderful meal.

The only thing I wish we had was an AYCE option because the sushi is just stand out amazing. I will definitely try to come back the next time I'm in New York. Can y'all franchise out to the West Coast, please?

Perfect Summer Supper

After doing 4 hours of chair massage today in Manhattan, this girl is hungry (this girl is also on fire🔥 but that's a story for another time.)
Speaking of fire, I couldn't think of anyplace more perfect to satisfy my appetite and quench my thirst on this sweltering, hot afternoon in the concrete jungle, than this old favorite of mine. I say, "old" because it's been about four (4) years since I've been here, and I must say, I'm just as impressed as ever. I ordered the mocktail version of the Chili Mango Margarita along with the Beyond Sushi Classic, the Spicy Mang Roll, and the "Salmon" Avocado Maki Roll.
The Chili Mango Margarita was just what it sounds like: the perfect blend of spicy and sweet, and oh so refreshing!
The Spicy Mang and "Salmon" Avocado rolls were equally as good, with each having a distinct blend of flavors and textures, even with the ultra fresh ginger and wasabi smothered all over them (I do love wasabi, folks!)
I topped off the meal with Green Tea Ice Cream - because - summer! The portion was just right and balanced out the meal quite nicely.
Folks, if you've never been to Beyond Sushi, you've GOT to go, and as far as there being more than one location, I'm honestly partial to this one in Herald Square - it's spacious, with a good vibe, plenty of comfortable seating and excellent, attentive customer service. A win-win all around!
P.S. - I happened to be there until just after 5pm, when they turned down the lights (fine) and pumped up the music - a bit loud, if one is dining with others and wants to have a convo, IMO.

Pros: Atmosphere , Attentive friendly staff, Food and drinks are excellent

Cons: Volume of music was a bit loud after 5pm

Fabulous - you should go. To save $$ go during weekday lunch

Fabulous.Recommend highly both as casual / family or business lunch or dinner. I don’t eat sea life but the salmon even smelled like salmon (in a good way, if that makes sense). Texture and taste are A . Money saving tip is to go M-F from 11:30am - 3pm where you can get two basic items for $17 (would ordinarily be $23 or $24). The basic items cover numerous include rolls and gyoza. Plenty of choices. And a sophisticated menu higher up the price point as well. Overall prices are good for this quality and NYC.

Only con was service was subpar. Host a bit snappy and waiter confused and never checked on us after initial order. But I don’t judge a vegan place by service or just one visit.

Pros: Extraordinary rolls - all of them , Tuna roll , Salmon roll

Best Vegan Sushi Anywhere

Last summer my wife and I went to New York and dined at Beyond Sushi for the first time. As my review then stated, Chef Vadkin and his restaurant are amazing. We went back in June, with a friend, and dined again. It's still amazing in every way. The Cauliflower Wings, a huge portion which come in a basket, are deliciously addicting. And the Tuna Poke is something only an expert chef like Guy Vadkin could pull off. Kudos!

Phenomenal sushi

We tried a few sushi items which were truly phenomenal. The dumplings were also nice. The cheesecake was absolutely delicious. The staff were also lovely and attentive. The music was quite loud, but our server kindly turned it down a bit. Prices were really fair, particularly given how much work clearly goes into making the sushi. Highly recommend this place!

Amazing vegan sushi in NYC

Some of the best vegan sushi I've ever had, with amazing desserts and cocktails as well. The Spicy Jackfruit Crab roll was amazing, as was the matcha affogato and ube cashew cheesecake. Service was quick and friendly. I couldn't have asked for a better plant-based sushi experience. Definitely stop by this place if you're vegan or veg-curious, and bring your non-vegan friends as well!

Painfully loud music

Had a horrible, literally painful experience here yesterday. The mushroom bowl dish was tasty and the service was friendly. But the music was so sadistically loud I literally left as soon as I could, and with a bad headache. I was there at about 4:00 pm on a weekday when the restaurant only had a few occupied tables. But still the server refused to turn down the music volume when I asked nicely. She said the owner has a policy that staff isn't allowed to turn down the music.

Cons: Potential hearing loss, Headache, Tinnitus

Pricey and kind of hit or miss

Been a few times between various trips to New York. It's good enough that I keep coming back, though some entrees are better than others. The appeal here is just as much novelty as it is taste. Vegan caviar that looks and pops in your mouth like salmon roe is worth trying! I highly recommend the ginger "beef" dumplings.

Pros: Lots of options, Novel creations

Cons: Expensive for the amount of food, Hit or miss flavor wise
