Where do I even begin? I had the absolute pleasure of catching up with my goddaughter over lunch here, & the entire experience, from the food & presentation to the service by Maria & ambience was fantastic. We both opted for the $19 Lunch Special (choose two items from Sushi, Dumplings, or Sides): My Pick: Salmon Avocado Roll (white rice, salmon, avocado, seaweed caviar) & Ginger Beef Dumplings. Goddaughter's Pick: Charred Avocado Roll (white rice, crab, cucumber, charred avocado, black caviar) & Spicy Eggplant. The culinary creativity here is next level. Everything from the aroma & presentation to the very first bite was incredibly impressive. The service was top-tier as well. Our main server was warm & attentive, & two other team members checked in throughout our meal to ensure we had everything we needed. Value-wise, you can't beat it, our lunches plus two glasses of Prosecco came out to just $60 total. Whether you're plant-based or a full-on omnivore, Beyond Sushi is a must-try. You will not be disappointed. To note, post lunch, I received a thank you email from the restaurant. Fabulous experience across the table. read more

Amazing food, drinks, service, and ambience. I went around 5:30 pm on a weekday and was seated right away. While we didn't order too much, everything was delicious and filling. We got the Philadelphia maki roll, spicy mang, and the chicken yakitori skewers (my favorite). The skewers have a tangy sauce that make it so good. The drinks were also unique and beautifully served! read more

When I was visiting NYC a few weeks ago, I made sure I would have one meal at one of the City Roots restaurants. Beyond Sushi was in Midtown near where I was staying, so I ended up coming here---on Valentine's Day, which happened to be a mistake! Since I didn't have a reservation, the lady who checked me in told me I had to find a seat at the bar. Her attitude was not the best, as when I looked over the menu and made a decision on what I wanted to get, she dismissed me when I waved her over, saying she is not the person taking orders. Um, okay? Then who is? One guy at the bar was nicer, and was able to take my order. I started off with a hot tea since NYC was cold in February, and then decided to have as much as I could of two dishes---the "chicken" yakitori skewers and the Korean BBQ skillet. The skewers came in a set of two, with a white mayo-like sauce drizzle and pickled cucumber on the side. Super delectable, though very filling because of the protein! The skillet was made with classic Chunk Foods protein, the go-to plant-based option for all the meat dishes at City Roots restaurants as far as I know. This was incredibly filling, but the sauce and the texture were all around delicious as well. I could NOT bother to finish the brussels sprouts the skillet came with---way too much to stomach, and I was going to focus on the "meats" since I can always have brussels any other time! The bill by the end of it was PRICEY. That's why I only go to one of these restaurants as a special treat when I visit NYC. Watch out if you order hot tea...$13!! I guess that's the NYC way, but still! read more

I didn't update my review recently, but last year I took a group of friends here. I had to email the manager because we had a large group. We had two tables out together in the center of the restaurant and everything was excellent. I really enjoyed their Nutty Buddy Wrap. I was with many non-vegans and everyone was pleased with the food and evening in general. I came back this past Saturday with another group of friends. We had reservations at another restaurant and some of them didn't want to eat there. One suggested Beyond Sushi, so I called and they were able to fit us in, but we had to be seated at two separate tables. I got the Nutty Buddy Wrap again as well as the Sweet Tree Roll. One person got the Spicy Ramen and said it had just the right amount of spice. One got the Sesame Miso Ramen and she loved all the mushrooms in the dish. Overall, we enjoyed our dishes and time at this restaurant. I thanked the manager for fitting us in! read more

We love Beyond Sushi! The interior of this location is beautiful - I wish they had outdoor seating for warmer weather as I don't eat indoors because of covid risk, but the air quality here in here was surprisingly good. My party ordered the sushi sampler (a special), Nutty buddy wrap, Sesame miso ramen, spicy ramen, and mushroom salad. All of it was delicious and the service was excellent. Love that this whole restaurant is vegan and that we can order everything! read more

Service was great. Servers are personable and friendly. The food wasn't bad. We ordered the Sweet Tree Roll, Oshizushi Spicy Salmon, Charred Avocado Roll, and Pork Skewer. My favorite was the Sweet Tree Roll and then Charred Avocado. The flavors of both were balanced and not too salty or strong. The pork skewer wasn't bad, and I really liked the mushroom medley on its side. It had a bit of a tangy vinegary taste, but it was good. The pork skewer itself was like a dumpling filling. My least favorite was the Oshizushi Spicy Salmon pressed sushi pieces. It was a bit too sour for my liking. The rice for the all sushi rolls I've had from Beyond Sushi doesn't taste fresh (tastes like it's just been in the fridge for many days -- hardened, dry), but it's most apparent in the Oshizushi Spicy Salmon pieces because there is more rice. I always felt like the rice quality could be better. I've been to their other location, and overall really like the creativity of their rolls and how they are completely plant-based. Not everything is a hit for me, and the food is a bit on the pricy side for what it is, but they have enough dishes I like (e.g. Sweet Tree Roll, Mighty Mushroom Roll) for me to want to come back whenever I'm in the mood. Ambiance of this location is also lovely! read more

The food was amazing. The ambience was so cool. The service was amazing I love the theme of the restaurant it was like I felt like I was in real Japan but, there wasn't any pandas. It was just the calm five in the music. I'm giving this place 11 out of 10 for the service the ambience in the food and my waiter was so nice! I would also recommend trying the Ube cheesecake. It was so good. read more

As a non-vegan, I was really curious going in. We ordered five different rolls and the rainbow roll was my favorite, especially with the pickled veggies inside. The avocado "crab" roll was also really good. For sides, we got the crab rangoons, spicy eggplant, and grilled chicken bao buns. My personal favorites were the grilled chicken bao and the eggplant - both were packed with flavor. Overall, a solid amount of food for three hungry people and a fun way to try creative vegan dishes. read more

Lunch here during our trip to NYC. Super place. Great vibe inside and very memorable. Well decorated and creates a perfect vibe for a sushi restaurant. Everything is plant based which is amazing. The flavor profile of the sushi rolls have serious depth. The ramen is super tasty. I would highly recommend this place if you love sushi and have plant based desires. Service was awesome and the mocktails were awesome. read more

We walked in without a reservation. The servers were wonderful and sweet. Despite my friend not knowing the full menu was vegan, she ordered a dish with chicken. She was initially very fearful as she didn't know what her experience would be. She ended up eating all of it and hardly noticed that it was vegan. I wish I went outside my comfort zone and ordered something other than my typical sushi places. Regardless, the rolls were fresh and the edamame were full and salty. Definitely check Beyond Sushi out if you're vegan or just curious for a different taste. Also it wasn't packed which was great (Late July night). Very chill. read more

Beyond Sushi - Vegan Near Me - New York, New York

This was a fantastic find... we were at The Morgan Library and searched for vegan options for lunch. So we walked in... and were pleasantly surprised by the decor ands atmosphere. Very nice. I think it would be a lovely dinner setting too. Anyway, we were in a rush so ordered fairly quickly... the food was amazing. Highly highly recommend the rainbow roll!!! Richard has the Tokyo IPA and found it to be very good. It wasn't super hoppy or super sweet. I ordered the sake flight. It was okay, but I prefer the junmai ginjo... so I probably should have ordered a bottle. We also had the spicy tuna... richard loves that one. Now remember, this is all vegan!!! But the flavors and textures were quite similar to fish sushi. Very impressive. We will be back. read more

Overall the atmosphere and service made this dining experience very pleasant. My boyfriend and I came here for date night. My criteria for vegan food is how well they emulate their meat cousin. I've had vegan sushi a few times before so I do have something to compare this too. I would say that we didn't really have anything that tasted or looked close to the real fish. So I was expecting marinated tomatoes/chia seeds in seaweed kind of ordeal but it just tasted like veggies presented in a different way. Which is fine but not what I was hoping for yk? read more

What a fabulous vegan restaurant. I love when you can go into a restaurant and eat anything and don't have to make substitutions. They were completely not busy and we were one other couple that were there and were seated right away. The service was extremely attentive and very friendly. The food tasted absolutely amazing.

Absolutely blown away by how delicious the food was! I'm not a mushroom fan but the might mushroom roll was amazing. We also got the spicy mang and the sweet tree rolls, DELICIOUS! Also, can't recommend the chicken skewers the enough. The texture and flavor was absolutely incredible. The server was very attentive and sweet and the space was very charming.

Wow, what an incredible meal! Came here for a date night and enjoyed every bite! Everything is vegan, which is so impressive. Our server mentioned that they recently changed their menu to have more non sushi options, and so we tried a few things: the chicken bao, the spicy mang sushi, and the miso ramen. We were blown away by all three dishes, especially the ramen where they somehow created a vegan egg that had very realistic consistency. We also tried their Eastern Gardens drink that was a mix of light fruity and floral, absolutely yummy and refreshing. The ambience is modern and romantic, and the service was attentive and very friendly. We're not even vegan but would definitely come back! read more

I was taken to Beyond Sushi by my friend who is a vegetarian and pescatarian. I eat everything and had never experienced vegetarian sushi. I was pleasantly surprised; though, true sushi connoisseurs will find subtle reminders this is not authentic sushi. Given my surprise and how well things were executed here, this is an outstanding effort and should a person go the vegetarian route and decide upon no fish as well, Beyond Sushi is a great place to find in Midtown. The atmosphere is pleasing and not too loud, more of a muted undertone and a calming aesthetic. The lighting is a bit muted as well, but not too dark. You can read the menu easily here. Some places I note have gone so dark, reading the menu can be a challenge. Service is great too here. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and our first order came out fairly quickly. Let me get the weakest of the items out of the way first. The Miso Glazed Pork Skewer from the Chef's Choice section of the menu was in our first order and did not hit my palate the way it is described. This glazed shiitake, oyster and wood ear mushroom with scallions, togarashi and spices sounded better than it delivered. This was not offensive to my palate, but the texture was not there for me and the flavor fell flat. The first order also included the Oshizushi Spicy Salmon special roll and it is special. Here the torched spicy salmon was treated to some spices and sauces that did not detract from the texture of that salmon. The texture and flavors of the spices and sauces came together exceedingly well. If you're a pescatarian, this is one I would say is a must be ordered. I would be confident in ordering the Rainbow special roll with tuna, salmon, well chosen veggies and some interesting spices and sauces to boot. The Spicy Tuna Roll from the Classics menu was a good roll, but slightly below the previous roll. The texture of the tuna was good as was the flavor. I was told by my friend the items on the menu are all made from non fish. This has me a bit confused and I am surprised how authentic the two rolls tasted. The owner or manager of Beyond Sushi is more than welcome to comment, for I am quite impressed by such effort. 3.6 stars! read more

3.5 We are big fans of vegan sushi so we were excited to try Beyond Sushi however the sushi options were a little sparse. We ordered the Sweet tree and spicy mang rolls and admittedly they did taste kind of similar. We enjoyed them both. I absolutely loved the corn. I've never had a wonton with the "cream cheese" not in the wonton but on the side, while the presentation was impressive, the textures weren't there for me. The menu has more of a focus on meat alternatives rather than raw, natural foods, which I was hoping for the latter. read more

This restaurant exceeded all of my expectations! I meant to come in for lunch, but had a change of plans and met up with a friend in the city for dinner. She's not vegan, but she was amazed by how delicious the food was as well! When we walked in we were seated right away by McAlister, who was attentive, friendly, and continued to provide excellent service. We started off with cocktails, and I ordered the Murasaki which has ube in it. It's a dessert cocktail, so it could also be enjoyed at the end of a meal. I feel the Orange added made the drink taste a little off, but it was interesting. The food was incredible, their nightly special included a Korean bbq brisket roll, which was wrapped in shiso and seaweed. Sure it's been 10 years since I've eaten meat, but if you were to tell me that was the real thing, I would 100% believe it. The brisket was tender and had a great texture, not to mention the sauce was so flavorful. We shared the Oshizushi Spicy Salmon roll and I ordered the Sesame Miso Ramen for myself. Loved the creamy broth, and that boiled "egg" was perfectly done. We were so full from dinner, but somehow had room for the Pandan Mousse Cake after peaking at the dessert menu. Wow, really loved the combination of flavors and how the dessert melted in my mouth. The yuzu gel really created a nice balance with the coconut mousse. I was really satisfied with our experience at Beyond Sushi, the food was satiating and a nice surprise. read more

Food The crab rangoon might have been the best thing we ate during our NYC trip. Being vegan, there are a few things you miss and finding a really well-made crab rangoon is one of them. They had the sweet and chili sauce and the rangoons were perfectly crispy with a nice filling ratio. The coconut spread they gave you was so good and really helped the crispy parts of the rangoons. I must know what they put in it so I can use it in future recipies. We also got their avocado roll and the spicy tuna and both were above average. The rice just felt a little off for both of us, but otherwise the other parts of the sushi was unmatched. They even torched the avocado on the outer part of the roll. Service The staff warned us a few times that they were fully vegan and mentioned how some diners were turned away by this. I appreciated the transparency and also the concern with allergies. They were helpful, super attentive, and I did not need to ask for anything. If we did not need to catch a train we would have stayed longer and tried their ube cheesecake. I know they have a few other restaurants and will need to come back to try them in the future. Ambiance Came at night so think good for a date night or casual dinner. You do not need reservations or to be totally dressed up. They even let us charge in the corner and did not rush us at all. Good decor and felt that people were enjoying the food around us. read more

I went during lunchtime and had a really great experience! The staff was informative, attentive and friendly. My table ordered the salmon avacado and charred avacado maki rolls, as well as the sweet tree and mighty mushrooms rolls. They were all delicious, but our favorite was the charred avacado Maki roll. I also ordered the Murasaki cocktail, which was absolutely delicious. For dessert, we had the chocolate hazelnut dome-- if you're a fan of Ferrero Rocher chocolate, you'll love this. I would definitely go back to try the rest of the menu! read more

I was in NYC for a quick business trip and stopped in for lunch on my last day. I ordered Five Spice Dumplings, Mighty Mushroom Roll and Philadelphia roll. The dumplings were delicious - savory and sweet spices. I enjoyed the Philly roll since it's been a while since I had one since going vegan. I love the cream cheese and "salmon". The Mighty Mushroom was good if you are a fan of mushrooms and tofu which I am. In addition I got the Ube Cheesecake to-go to eat at the airport. It melted a bit by the time I got there but it was so delicious and creamy and tasted just like Ube Cheesecake but vegan! Unfortunately have no photo of that. Would love to try other rolls next time I'm in town! Hope it's not another decade before I come to NYC again. read more

On my most recent visit in Nov, I tried the pandan mousse cake for dessert. It was gorgeous but I wish it tasted as impressive as it looked.

It's becoming a tradition to stop at @beyondsushinyc right before we hop on the train at @moynihantrainhall. This time we had an early train out, so we ordered everything to go. We ate these beauties in the @amtrak lounge, on the train, and at our hotel. I think we ordered most of the sushi without the fake fish which I prefer. While the fake fish looks absolutely stunning, I am not a fan of the taste and texture ( It's too real! ). But absolutely love their sushi without the fake fish! - Spicy Mang Roll - Mighty Mushroom - Sweet Tree - Oshizushi Spicy Salmon - Charred Avocado Roll There are a few menu items I miss, maybe not available for takeout or dinner time.

The service was great - amidst a very busy evening, they were able to accommodate me at the bar. The hostess is great at her job. The food came out in about 15mins. I got the Shoyu Ramen. Unfortunately, the portion size was a bit disappointing, with it being nearly half the size of a traditional ramen bowl. The enoki was raw. The soup was a bit spicy, which is totally unexpected. The flavors were good. The ambiance was light indie rock music and lots of chatter amidst groups of 2-6. read more

Beyond sushi has me ready to move to New York, and I'm only partially kidding. I got the lychee soda and it was delicious, not too sweet, and refreshing and flavorful. I also got the charred avocado roll and the grilled chicken bao, with the sauce on the side (because I'm not great with spice). It was phenomenal, perfect flavoring and texture and I wish I could have eaten more. The vibes were perfect, staff were great and attentive. Truly can't wait to go back here next time I'm in NY (or please expand to ATL!!!). Also the location is great because it's a very quick walk to lots of venues-- I was headed to a concert at Madison square garden after and found it very convenient. read more

Beyond Sushi was surprisingly empty during peak lunch hours on a Wednesday in midtown. Once I read the menu, I understood why -- they are an entirely vegan restaurant, I'm sure many folks aren't willing to entertain that option. Even knowing full well what I signed up for, I wasn't particularly blown away by my lunch here. The chili noodle dish wasn't particularly spicy, and portions were small. Even with lunch special pricing, this wasn't the most cost-friendly option in the area. Dinner pricing seemed a bit high for a relatively ordinary menu. If you're looking for a vegan option (or don't particularly care either way), this place was fine. read more

I had a deeply unpleasant and concerning experience at Beyond Sushi. While eating my meal, I bit down on a hard, jagged red piece of plastic that was hidden in the food. It was sharp enough that I almost chipped a tooth, and my mouth is still sore from the impact. This was not only painful but incredibly dangerous. When I brought it to the staff's attention, management offered an apology--but it felt rushed and insincere, as if they just wanted to brush it off and move on. No real accountability, no genuine concern for the seriousness of what happened. I've attached a photo of the plastic shard for reference--this should never end up in anyone's food. I used to enjoy coming here, but after this incident, I won't be returning. I hope they take food safety and customer care more seriously moving forward, because this could have ended a lot worse. read more

But that still didn't interfere with getting a table for 2. Our waiter was so nice and immediately asked us what type of water we would like, We got regular water but there is sparkling and tap water. We went in with a sushi platter that has 6 different type of rolls which I loved , I wish I got more foods to try but I know that everything is very good in there because the sushi was 10/10 I loved it. (Spicy tuna roll) recommended. I also ordered a drink waiters Choice and it was amazing just show them those pictures I uploaded you are going to love both drinks because I sure did! The place is so beautiful you can definitely take very nice pictures here , very clean and the waiters are very attentive I loved everything about this place.
