THE BEST!! - Edit
Oh my gosh, you HAVE to check out Happy Maki, this place will absolutely blow your mind. The food is out of this world!
Read moreI first tried Happy Maki at Glastonbury and couldn’t stop thinking about it. When I finally got to visit the actual shop, I was over the moon excited—and it did not disappoint. The sushi burritos are packed with incredible flavors, bursting with fresh, vibrant goodness in every bite.
Now, let me gush about Zoey, the assistant manager. She’s the absolute best! Zoey's enthusiasm is so contagious, and she’s just a joy to chat with. You can really tell she loves what she does, and it made our visit even more special. Honestly, she’s one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met.
Pros: The food , Zoey!!!, The food again because it's just so good

Pretty disappointing - Edit
It's all vegan bowls and sushi burritos! Exciting!
Read moreUnfortunately 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 - Edit
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.

Great vegan lunch - Edit
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 👌
Read morePros: Selection of vegan food, Quick service, Not too expensive
Cons: Would have liked to have a coffee

Absolutely delicious! - Edit
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.

Burrito + Maki = Happy - Edit
I would have never thought of it but there is something very satisfying eating maki like a burrito. They had a stand at the Vegan Campout 2023 so it was the occasion for us to try it. So yummy! I wish it wasn't that niche though, because now I would love to find sushi burritos anywhere but it's actually quite rare :)

Lovely sushi wraps - Edit
A really interesting spot for a quick lunch or dinner, the sushi wraps are large rolls of sushi rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in seaweed. I went for "sweet chicken" which was sota chunks with avocado, carrots, peppers and sweet chilli sauce. We also had a side of cauliflower bites with a satay dip - they were deliciously crunchy with a firm middle (not mush like they can sometimes end up as) and I'd happily recommend both dishes.

Would definitely recommend - Edit
I had the sushi bowl with avocado and "salmon", spring onions and mango mayo. It was delicious. I would switch out the spring onions for nori if I chose this combo again. A friend had the crispy "chicken" which was also great. The people were lovely and the place is bright and friendly.
Read moreWould definitely come here again if I'm in the area and can 100% recommend this place.
Pros: Many choices , Affordable, Tasty

Great - Edit
Travelled from Newcastle for the day and had a duck maki roll, "salmon", and miso soup. Roll was incredible and the vegan salmon was almost uncanny in how closely it resembled actual salmon. Food was excellent with reasonable prices.

Lovely meal for a great price! - Edit
I had a lovely Happy Salmon bowl and shared three loaded satay pockets, which were so tasty! I spent £12.27 individually which I think is thoroughly reasonable for Brighton and for most places in the south (if not the rest of the country)! It filled me up so much I could only have a bowl of soup for dinner with some small sides.

Amazing sushi burrito - Edit
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.
