Beautiful fresh flavours

Great fresh tasting vegan sushi dishes. A lovely sustainable business. The sushi bowl was so full of flavour and crunch and super fresh tasting. Can't wait to return.

Insanely good sushi burritos 🔥

We had Happy Maki in VCO so it was lovely to visit the restaurant in Brighton. As always the food was delicious 🫶🏼

Surprising

Not the kind of food I would normally enjoy, but this I did, so they must be doing something right.

Sushi Heaven!

We stayed in Brighton for a weekend and visited several popular vegan only restaurants and Happy Maki was the stand out winner! Food tasted really fresh, wholesome, and was just generally very tasty. Nice chill vibe and didn't have to wait too long. The bento box was great as you get a selection of menu items. Great for GF options too! Looking forward to coming back!

Delicious

Would recommend this place to anyone. I had a nori burrito, which is so different to anything else! So healthy and tasty!

Would also highly recommend the salmon options. I'd never found a vegan one I'd liked, and the one my partner had was very tasty!

Lovely atmosphere, really relaxed and cute decor.

Lovely people working there. One of the staff gave me a taste of the ponso mango before I made my choice!

Had the cauliflower starter with satay - very tasty!

Had the beet maki roll and the thai sweet potato - both really tasty and filling! Good range of other options, friendly service, relaxed setting. Would go back and recommend to any one in the area or visiting.

Lovely staff and dog friendly. We ordered to take away and were delighted with the food! I had the bento bowl with cauli popcorn and my partner had the full-size burrito wrap. Lovely!!

Fantastic Food

I ordered the Fully Loaded Burrito and a side of Satay Pockets. The food was made fresh and was so flavourful. Very friendly staff too.

Good for celiacs

First time visiting and good to see they had a celiac safe menu and the person behind the till double checked as we ordered. GF soy sauce as well which is amazing. I could have eaten at least 2 of the sushi burritos but that's just me and my big appetite.

Pros: Gluten free options , Staff good knowledge of gluten free

Cons: A little spenny but that's brighton

Happy Maki - Happy Lady

I make a beeline for this place every VCO. I loved sushi pre-vegan, now I'm loving it again!

Great vegan sushi rolls

Really nice option for lunch - especially in the summers on the beach! The rolls are super tasty and helps that they're also available on delivery apps which is a great plus, especially for hangovers when you're after something a little more fresh / healthier to get you functioning again 😀

Tasty sushi rolls! And charity focused!!

Had a sushi roll at the uk vegan campout. Really nice, and for every meal they serve they donate a meal. They are almost at half a million donated meals!

Festival must

I’ve only ever eaten here at Vegan camp out and Glasto, there is always quite a long queue BUT it’s totally worth the wait (plus it moves quickly). It’s only ever the burrito at festivals but plenty of choice, lovely staff and great flavours. Convenient to eat on the go and would love to head to the restaurant one day.

Pros: Lovely staff, Good portions

Nice place

Burrito and cauliflower popcorn were good, the miso soup was a bit boring (could add tofu).
