SCW and I dined at Beyond Sushi in Midtown after seeing it is one of the top rated fully plant based restaurants in the area. When we arrived there the small restaurant was empty and we were quickly seated. After ordering some wine we placed our orders. I got the spicy mango roll and the rainbow roll. SCW ordered the Philly roll and the beef (I think) dumplings. Service was great as we were at a small table and clearly it would not all fit it brought all at once. So we both got one plate at a time and we shared. The spicy mango roll was delicious. So fresh, such creative presentation and use of vegetables to make a visually impressive roll. The beef dumplings were delicious as well. The textures were spot on, with a little crunch inside the dumpling. The sauce they came in was really good. The rainbow roll was beautiful. Full of vibrant colors and flavors. We both really enjoyed it. The Philly roll was outstanding as well. I enjoyed the richness of the Philly roll flavor with the soy sauce. Really good. We both really enjoyed our meal at Beyond Sushi. The employees are incredible and will remind you when you are seated that they are fully plant based in case you mistakenly thought they were regular sushi. I found the presentation was great and the flavors were spot on. One of the best plant based sushi spots I've ever been to. I highly recommend. read more

Just a quick update: I really appreciate the restaurant reaching out afterward and making an effort to make things right. Their response showed that they genuinely care about their customers and the experience they provide, so I've updated my rating to reflect that. Thanks for reaching out and addressing my concerns. I definitely appreciate how the situation was handled and look forward to giving Beyond Sushi another visit next time I'm in New York. read more

My family's favorite vegan food in NYC. We had a meeting that got catering from here with summer rolls (one of my favorites), an assorted sushi platter, and a salad that reminded me of Caesar but was better. Everything is always fantastic. read more

As a former-meat-eater who used to love sushi before switching to a vegetarian lifestyle, this place hit the spot! We LOVED the Spicy Tuna roll! Myself, my husband and his friend all agreed it was our favorite. The Philadelphia Roll had very realistic-tasting salmon in it! Which was such a pleasant surprise - especially since I used to love eating salmon back in the day. Last but not least, the Spicy Crab Roll had a delicious flavor combination, coming in second place as the group's favorite. The service was excellent, the ambiance was very chill. However, due to the grills being openly visible to the seating floor, it was pretty toasty inside... That was the only issue with our experience. Otherwise, everything was wonderful! read more

It's 91 degrees not even the real feel and they refuse to let us stand inside their store while waiting for an order. Absolutely disgusted with this behavior.

This was the best MEAL I've had in a long time, let alone the best VEGAN meal I've had! I was never a big sushi eater before I became vegan, but I'm in love with vegan sushi! I had the "beef" dumplings, Sweet Tree roll, and Pandan Mousse Cake. Everything was truly delicious, and the wait staff was very friendly. I'm contemplating going back again later today, and will definitely make this a staple anytime I'm in Manhattan. Note: I heard the server say that the menus are different at the two locations, so make sure you check out the correct one if you're concerned about the options. I was at the one on 56th. read more

Great experience! Service was impeccable and attentive from beginning to end. I ordered the the Shiitake Truffle and the Mighty Mushroom roll. Don't let the fact that it's vegan fool you, you will be satisfied and stuffed! Overall, I'd definitely come back to try more options. read more

We came here to have a late lunch and to try their vegan food. It was empty when we came, but people soon arrived after us. We ordered the chicken bahn mi, the spicy ramen, shoyu ramen, mighty mushroom roll, and five spice chicken dumplings. Everything tasted great! The service was good. There are plenty of tables, but it is a little small and cramped. Regardless, we still enjoyed our food and would return. read more

I wanted to remain vegan today so I decided to try Beyond Sushi and...it was dee-licious. For my first experience, I ordered their Shoyu Ramen lunch special- it was perfect with a nice balance of spicy broth, vegetables, noodles and "beef" that had the texture of the real thing. I ordered take-out but noticed that almost every inside seat was occupied at lunchtime. read more

Yummy yum yum! I tried the Mushroom Roll, nutty buddy wrap, and the Pandan Mousse Cake. The truffle on the mushroom was just enough, not overpowering but enough to taste & still enjoy the other aspects. The tofu normally comes inside the wrap, but was ordered on the side. The sauce on the outside is visually pretty for serving, but made for messy eating. I would've preferred a container of sauce to dip into. The tofu was amazing- so so firm. I wonder what brand they use?! The Pandan Mousse Cake was delicious. The hard white chocolate shell made cutting nicely into it difficult, but that's okay. I loved the yuzu curd and the Pandan flavor throughout. Our waitress was so nice! Fun fact, she let us know that they now have to inform all customers that Beyond Sushi is completely vegan/plant based/animal protein free due to many upset customers not knowing this and being upset by the food they received (a customer came in while I was dining and promptly left after learning that the menu was vegan and that there was no animal protein fish, so I asked how often that happened). I came here for the vegan sushi & recommend it to others interested in trying vegan sushi... or just good sushi for that matter read more

I have never had vegan fish like this before, I got the rainbow roll which has fake tuna and salmon and I was totally blown away by the texture and taste. Granted I haven't had real fish in like 8 years but I thought it was insanely realistic. The place itself is pretty small, could probably seat around 20 people. Very clean and the servers were absolutely wonderful. After my meal I was talking with my waitress and she gave me a business card for the parent company which also owns a bunch of other vegan restaurants in NYC. They have a nice lunch special where you can get discounted menu items for a pretty good deal. read more

Picked this place as it was in the middle of the afternoon between actual lunch and dinner. It's small, quaint and casual. Everything I had was really tasty. The lychee juice was so yummy. Chicken dumplings were so flavorful with the sauce. The roll with the sweet potato was delicious - you don't find many places using sweet potato as an option. Staff is super friendly and accommodating here. Very much enjoyed having lunch here! read more

Love the dumplings and the vegan sushi. The mushroom dumplings in particular are a favorite. Never too busy but also a great take out spot!!

Very good sushi.. fully vegan. Excellent service (person taking our ph order was polite and efficient) and good ambience. Many mock meat heavy options but felt great eating here knowing that everything was vegan. Asked for a side of plain rice for my toddler but was given lime-flavored rice... other than that, all else was great. Enjoyed the nutty buddy (peanut butter) wrap and the spicy mang roll (mango sushi). Tasty & fresh. Would return! read more

One of my friends is a vegan, so when we go out to eat, we often come to this place (or its affiliate on W. 37th). We try to come at lunchtime to take advantage of the specials, but we came at dinnertime a couple of days ago, and it was as great as always. I've never had a dish that I didn't like and in fact I've loved pretty much all of them. The staff is super-nice and the atmosphere is pleasant and not noisy. The prices are maybe just a tad bit on the high side considering the size of the portions, but maybe not, given the location. Highly recommend! read more

I come here every time I'm in NYC and this visit I went to Beyond Sushi 3x to try out the whole menu! I didn't like this location as much as I like their larger one. This place is super small yet crowded for lunch on Saturday. When you walk in it's not clear that you are to pick your own table to sit, the hostess stays back by the kitchen and doesn't come greet you at the door. I was excited to see that they were copying Nami Nori's open-style sushi hand rolls. I figure better go to a vegan place so I don't taste the fish from their gloves on my rolls right? I saw the picture of Beyond Sushi's Spicy "Salmon" Oshizushi roll on their instagram and it looks nothing like the pitiful roll I got, my toppings looked much smaller. Definitely overpriced. I ordered a tea but I wasn't served water like every other table around me. The bathroom is a closet, literally. The trash can had some brown substance on it, gross. The floor was wet. read more

3.75/5 stars! Great decor and chic/fun place for groups to meet up for dinner. We ordered a lot of food for 5 people and the cost ended up being $20/person. The sake was good but disappointing with quantity and how it already came poured in a glass. Nutty buddy rolls were incredible and 4.5/5 stars Spicy mango rolls disappointing without much mango taste and not spicy. 2.5/5 stars Sweet tree rolls tasted nice and the sweet potato was delicious but nothing too crazy. Nice innovation though. 4/5 stars Coconut curry was delicious! 4.5/5 stars Crispy rice sushi was disappointing and tasted weird. 2/5 stars Service was excellent and the server explained the entire menu to us. They were quick to fill water and assist/answer questions as needed. I'd come back for the some of the food if I needed a reservation for large group. But definitely worth trying out. read more

[updated] FOOD - spicy mang roll (8/10): black rice roll filled with avocado and cucumber and topped with shredded mango with a side of cayenne sauce. There is a good reason why this is one of their classic rolls. Visually, the black rice makes it stunning when contrasted with the vibrant mango and avocado. It also has a nice amount of spice from the topping and the sauce. I would recommend getting this along with another item as it was not super filling on its own. - oshizushi spicy salmon (10/10): pressed rice topped with spicy salmon, lime, scallions, and truffle caviar with a side of smoked pepper sauce. This dish was one of the best vegan sushi i have ever eaten. The salmon has a slight sweet yet salty taste that seems to mimic what real salmon would taste like. The part that made the dish was the small lime on the top. I thought it would be too acidic but it actually added a nice brightness. Definitely a must order item! read more

Really tasty vegan sushi, ramen, and dumplings with a lunch special that eases the wallet damage. We stopped in for a late lunch on a Tuesday, just in time to take advantage of their lunch special: $19 for any of their three ramens, or a choice of 2 items from their dumplings, sushi, and side dishes. I got the sesame miso ramen (ordinarily $24), which comes with dark soy roasted "chicken" -- which had a remarkably realistic texture and was very well-marinated -- along with a big piece of bok choy, marinated shiitake mushrooms, a vegan soft-boiled egg, and well-cooked noodles. Everything was great about this except the broth, honestly -- which lacked depth and complexity; it was just a simple miso broth really. The broth needs work, but the toppings and noodles were top-quality. My wife got the mighty mushroom roll and the five-spice chicken dumplings, both of which were fantastic. The dumplings had great, chewy wrappers, filled with minced "chicken", and coated in this delectable yuzu-soy glaze. The mushroom rolls were filled with shiitake mushrooms and topped with this delicious mushroom truffle sauce. Tasty stuff. Friendly service, comfortable though small place that can probably get cramped. Recommended spot. read more

Those cauliflower wings were so good! Lovely texture and flavor. The salmon avocado honestly tasted pretty close to the real thing. We couldn't figure out how they made this. Very very impressive. The mighty mushroom had wonderful umami flavor. Even my daughter who hates mushrooms said it was really good. That's saying a lot! I would say the wild rice is slightly too mushy or sticky to compliment the textures of the roll. It needs a bit more definition in the grain. The vanilla ice cream was fine, but a bit too sugary for my tastes. read more

Thank you so much to the staff for your patience. I will be back and recommend 100% for all around. read more

Had a concert to see at Radio City Music Hall just 5 minutes walk away and stopped by Beyond Sushi for a pre-show dinner. Beyond has a creative menu with dishes bursting with flavor. - The shiitake truffle dumpling has a deep umami flavor - The gochujang on the fried chick'n bao is ace; do not be afraid to eat the bao with the whole Thai chili pepper - Best known for its sushi, try the Ohizushi spicy "salmon", the touch of toasted cayenne sauce rounds it out I love the coziness of this particular location, perfect for a pre-show dinner, a date, or a chill night with friends. And the staff is always friendly and attentive. They shared this tip: the first item within each section on the menu is the most ordered. If you're vegan or just curious, definitely a place to check out. read more

So I had a friend tell me average things about this place but we were starving and wanted to grab something to eat. We started with the ginger beef dumplings and sheesh they wowed us! The texture was incredible and the flavor was so on point we had 2 orders. After the dumplings- which were amazing we got the noodles - our server told us that it was not a hot (in temp) dish but it actually was and the egg on top cut like a real egg which was bizarre yet fascinating. Again flavors were soooo good. We ordered a rainbow roll, I would have to say that was our least favorite. Just did not taste great and maybe because everything else we had was packed with flavor. We ended our meal with the chicken skewers that were delicious! The texture was crazy good and the flavors were on point yet again. Our service was pretty terrible though, she seemed so annoyed of us. Tried to ask for recommendations and I'm pretty sure she rolled her eyes. When I asked for more water she begrudgingly brought it. The food made up for the service I guess. read more

I have never tried vegan/ vegetarian sushi before and I'm so glad that this spot was the first place I tried to get some. I loved almost everything I got here especially the spicy salmon tartare. The salmon tartare was my favorite thing here! They did such a good job in replicating the texture of real salmon and even the taste! The taste wasn't really as fishy as real salmon but it would be very hard to distinguish the taste difference between real salmon and the vegan salmon they had. The only thing I didn't really like was the sweet tree roll. I didn't like the sweet potato inside the sushi roll because it made it seem too sweet- kinda like a dessert sushi roll. If you like savory sushi then I wouldn't recommend this one. Overall I really would recommend going here!! The restaurant itself is pretty small but it's definitely not too crowded. The workers are very sweet too which I think is always important! They also have a bathroom! read more

Tasty and fun vegan sushi but a rather small location I love the concept of this place and the sushi is great. The menu is not that extensive but they have some rolls, appetizers, dumplings and shared plates. I liked the mighty mushroom roll ($11). The "salmon" roll had the texture of salmon which was interesting. For nonadventurous eaters or those who aren't open to vegan foods, probably not the best place. But I'm a fan! I prefer the location on 37th because it's bigger and more well lit. But perhaps this place is less busy which is also nice. read more

Came here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon with a group of 4. We were seated right away, but it is a fairly small location. We were given the last table, and I could absolutely see there being a substantial wait at busier times. I had visited their Herald Square location a few times when I lived in NY, so I was excited to introduce my partner to it when we visited since she doesn't eat meat and hadn't tried faux fish sushi before. While it was a solid meal and novel experience, I think their quality has gone done a bit since I last visited a few years ago. The biggest ding our group had with the dishes was that the faux fish was all generally lacking in flavor. While the texture was a good representation of fish, they didn't taste like much. I don't remember being blown away by the fish on previous visits, but it was pretty glaring this time around. Another change I was dissapointed with was that most rolls now use white rice instead of black. I remember the rich, nutty, black rice giving all the rolls a high floor in terms of flavor. Overall their menu has shifted more towards 1-1 replication of traditional sushi dishes, whereas I remember them being more of a vegetarian alternative to sushi, with some faux fish flavors incorporated. Overall, I think this is probably skippable now, even if you're visiting NY and looking specifically for vegetarian alternatives to fish. We encountered a few other options around the city with tastier dishes using faux fish, so it's clearly become a more available option read more

This was my first time at a vegan sushi restaurant and it was a pretty decent experience. There were a lot of seats available when we walked in; this place was a lot spacious than I expected with good interior designs. We were seated right away, but it took awhile for someone to give us the menu and water. After ordering, the food came out pretty fast, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. The miso soup was really big portion, maybe a bit too for 1-2 people. I was sharing with my friend, and we still had a lot left over at the end of our meal. What was disappointing was that the seaweed and tofu in the miso soup was really undercooked/pretty raw... Usually the texture is softer and the miso taste is integrated with those two, but that was not the case here. I forget which dish we got but it was something as close to a dragon roll. There were a lot of mushrooms in it, which was pretty overbearing as I barely was able to taste the other ingredients. Once again, it took forever to get someone's attention for the check.. We had plans to go somewhere afterwards but it took way too long.. Some of the workers here don't speak full English, which was totally fine, but good to note to be patient with them as they are still very friendly and want to give you the best service! read more

A small but cozy spot to grab plant based takes on sushi. We ordered two sets of dumplings - the Shiitake Truffle and Chicken which were both flavorful. Next we moved to the Spicy Jackfruit Crab roll and Mighty Mushroom roll. Both were good but hats off to the jackfruit which is considered one of their specialty rolls. We then wrapped up with Green Tea ice cream which was a sweet and refreshing finish to the meal. Overall good food and nice flavors. Service we ok, a little slow at times. read more
