Vegan Castle - The food - Vegan Near Me - Long Beach, California

Hit and miss unfortunately I'm not vegan but my family doesn't eat meat so we decided to try this out for sushi. The wait for this is very long as only one man runs the shop. Otherwise for the sushi it was actually really good, highly recommend getting the spider roll, and ordering ahead of time read more

I'm quite embarrassed that after years of living in Long Beach, I've just discovered Vegan Castle. Hands down the best sushi I've had in LBC! And yes -- it's VEGAN. If you're a baked sushi lover, you won't even notice the difference, outside of its exceptionally fresh quality and a "tempura" like no other! This is the spot you take your vegan friends and everyone will be thoroughly pleased. I dined in with a mentor/friend and ordered the Dragon, Scooby Doo and Spider Roll. The rolls are not only well assembled and nice on the eyes, but the flavors were incredible. If you're a fan of chili crunch, the Scooby Doo isn't overly spicy and is enjoyable. The enoki mushrooms in the Spider Roll were cooked to perfection and we had the equivalent of about a roll to take home with leftovers from each dish. Their vegan tempura reminds me of that of "hush puppies" and adds a nice seasoned savory crunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a great spot to swing by for lunch or to order takeout with a humble dining space and kind staff that feels neighborly as ever.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend! read more

Vegan Castle - Spider Roll, Scooby Doo Roll and Dragon Roll - Vegan Near Me - Long Beach, California

Health and Wellness aside, truly what we eat has a lot to do with all of our senses. If we can eat "sushi" in a sustainable way, then why not?! Prior to experiencing the vegan lifestyle, I never really ate sushi in the sense it was meant to be eaten raw! So, if you were in it for the baked items, you are gonna love this place! Mind you, I only ordered two items from the Appetizers. I came alone and so had no one to share other items on the plant-based menu. The textures and flavors are wonderful....granted I have only been here once and have only tried two things on the menu... I wouldn't mind returning if I were in the area. I would LOVE to see this place flourish! Right now it looks like a one man show. I got to hand it to Tony for working so diligently. He'll take your order, accept payment, and bring your order to your table read more

Vegan Castle - Prepare to bring your patience - Vegan Near Me - Long Beach, California

To have a successful restaurant, and it's very hard, you have to support your employees. One person alone is not enough to run this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mop bucket out in the middle of the dining room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The singular employee is overwhelmed not able to take orders or clear off tables.... They put in self-help ordering, fine but didn't finish setting it up. No pictures or descriptions just old dirty menus on the side with descriptions. One last thing, the name doesn't indicate it's a sushi place. I hope they're able to make it work. I waited 30 minutes for my order, and there were only 2 other guests inside. read more

Vegan Castle - Nasty Mop in the dining room - Vegan Near Me - Long Beach, California

Food is delicious and the value is amazing. As others said, the interior needs a bit of a clean. The fans and roof are dusty and dirty. But the actual restaurant floor and kitchen space seemed great, so no complaints. They do have a broken front door. Took a star off because they forgot two tacos on our order! Still, it was great food for low prices. If they opened a second location somewhere with a nicer interior they wpuld be 5 stars no problem, but the place they're in probably helps keep costs down. I would definitely come back and if they hadn't forgotten the tacos I would have really considered giving 5 stars. Would love to know what cream cheese they use! read more

Welcome to the Castle! Absolutely worth the trip, but only one super king managing it all (most of the time). The guy running the show is a one man machine (preparing food, taking orders, handling pick up orders, serving tables, etc.), but that said this means everything comes out slower and orders take quite a bite of time definitely expect up to a 35 to 45 minutes wait for your food to come out after you order, but it will come out and come out amazingly!! Some regulars called in or placed orders online to cut down on the wait. Now we know! Seems like they have less busier times, but Friday and Saturday nights, everyone is craving Vegan Castle. V.C. puts so much care and quality into every dish, it's easy to see why they are so loved and supported. They just need some help to back up the demand of this popular Long Beach spot. Stellar rolls and eats - we were so hungry and had an event/party we were attending after where only drinks are provided, so we knew this would be dinner and essentially inhaled those incredible perfectly prepared rolls. Thick cut, eight pieces, topped with incredible sauces, plus all the goodness. We had the LB/Long Beach roll and the Veggie Tempura Roll, both had 10/10 flavor. Absolutely the best in the LB and definitely top five in Greater Los Angeles County. Definitely want to try everything on the list. Easy parking on the street. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restrooms for customers and tons of seating throughout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can seat yourself and grab your own water, napkins, utensils, etc. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Soy sauce on the tables, and pretty nice mellow ambiance with touches of plants, humble decor and sounds.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The sushi here is amazing and the chef is very nice! It seems like a one man show!! So If you do not mind waiting then this is the place for you!!

It took a while for Vegan Castle to win me over, but I'm glad it did! My very first experience was back in 2021, within their first year of business. In short, I really enjoyed what I ordered. I had one of the deep-fried rolls, a Red Dragon Roll, and a Crispy Fish Taco. I was just frustrated that it took nearly 75 minutes to get my food. Flash forward to early November 2024. I'm in the neighborhood and decided to place a to-go order. But opted not to when we learned that it would take an hour. At least this time my expectations were managed. I was in the neighborhood again a few weeks later and decided to swing by, place my order, then come back an hour later. I was a bit delayed coming back and arrived closer to 90 minutes later and my order was ready and waiting! I took it home and this Scooby Doo Roll was better than expected! It's filled with tempura shrimp, cream cheese, and jalapeño. It's topped with avocado, spicy mayo, chili garlic, and green onion. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/vegan-castle-long-beach?select=9XLA5cE6-O6T80bi6MoZpw Then in December 2024, I was in the neighborhood once again and popped over for another roll. I asked the guy what time it would be ready and to my surprise, he said 10-15 mins! I think I found the best pocket of time because my Spider Roll was ready as expected and it was super yummy! It's made with tempura enoki mushrooms, greens, carrot, cucumber, and avocado. It's topped with spicy mayo, unagi sauce, and green onion. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/vegan-castle-long-beach?select=jZX984N44Z1XUL5zs62Afg While I was eating, I had some great conversations with the guy about his restaurant. On my last two visits, he was the only one working! It really made me appreciate all that goes into being a small business owner. Much respect for being a rare vegan gem in the west side of Long Beach. read more

The service was quick! Let me tell you about these three amazing rolls! This is the first time I've ever tried Vegan Sushi and I can hands-down admit that this is almost better than normal Sushi. My personal favorite was the Crunchyroll, and my friend's favorite was the rainbow roll. We split the ocean roll and all of them were divine, 10 out of 10. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute hole in the wall place with the most amazing food on the planet![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend! read more

Loved the Volcano and the Spider Roll! Those are must-gets, just trust. They are both pretty big rolls. The red dragon roll was solid. The rainbow roll was beautiful but wished it had more crunch to it and not sure how I feel about banana being one of the toppings. The ocean roll was okay. Also wished it had more of a bite or crunch to it, but that's just my personal preference. We came on a Saturday afternoon and there was just one guy working the entire place so we had a wait a lil bit for all of our rolls to arrive on the table but he did a great job at making sure everyone had at least something on the table to munch on while he prepped the rest of the orders. Plenty of street parking! read more

The food is phenomenal. Best Vegan (plant-based) rolls we ever had. We keep coming back. Once in awhile when we feel like eating rolls, this is the only place that comes to mind. We always order the fried rolls, crispy fish tacos, and fries. The portion they gave us this time was a lot. It was decent for the price and was surprised. Everything tastes good. Order in advance to avoid wait time as it may take a while to get your food here. The chef takes pride in his cooking but they definitely need more manpower. I've seen different girls work here but maybe hire another cook but maybe too costly. The owner chef is always friendly however. [[HIGHLIGHT]]One thing they need to change now is the flusher in their toilet. It's been like that since years ago and I can't believe they still haven't fixed it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's still like that and been that way for so long. read more

Vegan Castle - Two sushi rolls and a fish taco!!! - Vegan Near Me - Long Beach, California

While the sushi rolls were delicious, they mostly had the same few ingredients in different combinations. There is but one person running the restaurant. He cooks and serves. You aren't greeted when you enter, and you order and pay at a kiosk. It took an hour for our food to arrive even though there were only two people and two to-go orders ahead of us. I pity the four groups who came in after us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is horrible. The furniture, walls and ceiling all need repair. No decorations except some plants in a corner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you really love their sushi rolls, you might find it worth it. I didn't. read more

The food is amazing. The service could be better. The last time I went I waited over an hour and a half for my food. The place was busy on that day so I definitely will not be going back on a Saturday night. It is a one man show cooking, bussing, and taking orders. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance could use a little improvement.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You definitely notice things when you are waiting over an hour for your order. read more

This was my first time trying out vegan food. The staff were friendly. I tried the shrimp vegan taco. The taco is a little messy, but healthy and delicious. The only thing is the restaurant does not feel very welcoming, it needs to be updated. But overall great food, great quality, and budget friendly. read more

I don't know who gave this guy the right to be so talented but holy smokes this place is good. The rolls are so flavorful and textured, and the presentation is always beautiful, especially when you dine in. This is my favorite place to bring non-vegans because they're always so impressed. My vegan-skeptical dad keeps asking when we're going back and my ex tells me he still thinks about this place. Plus the prices are affordable and the owner-operator is so nice. It can take a while to get the food because he's a one-man show but it's worth it! read more

My girlfriend and I loove this place! Best vegan sushi I've ever had! My girlfriends vegan and I'm a flexitarian so I'm a little more picky with vegan sushi because I still eat regular sushi every now and then. However this place seriously has the best vegan sushi! It's a must try! It can take quite awhile for you to get your food at times but that's because the owner is doing everything. Super nice guy and really puts his heart and soul into his food. It's definitely worth the wait though! I'd say come patient and give a big tip. All the vegan spots are struggling in the area and I'd hate to see another amazing vegan spot go under. We have to help support this place as much as possible! A food gem read more

The rainbow roll was my favorite because I was pleasantly surprised that vegetables and fruit made up the colors at the top instead of fake fish. The roasted red peppers were the "tuna" at the top of the roll. Delicious! Also really loved the hand rolls. I liked the very satisfying shrimp-less one. I thought it was cute that the dragon roll was bendy! Would definitely come back again to this hole in the wall place. The guy making the food was solo and was very friendly and hardworking. Very good prices for this kind of sushi! read more

What a Gem this is for Long Beach. Hands down the best vegan sushi I've ever had. Small but cute spot right off a main road. Chill ambiance inside, nothing too fancy nor too loud. Great to take my family of 3 kids. Now when it comes to the service and food that's why I keep coming back. The service is top notch. The owner does everything himself, he's super man in the kitchen. So yes there will be a little bit of a wait keep that in mind but grab your water and just relax knowing there's lots of love going into the order. Every roll on the menu is so unique, colorful, some with unique sauces and all with flavors exploding in your mouth (pause ). My favorites are the dragon roll, miso soup, ocean roll but I've tried most of the menu and enjoyed all but the sweet banana one. I just can't do the sweetness tbh lol If you're looking for a great lunch or a date out highly recommend coming here. If you don't like the wait then order at least 20 minutes ahead by phone! read more

Really good sushi. Price is reflective of quality and presentation. Went for pick up order as I was passing by the area. Recommend to call and place order or maybe you can do it online ?

Incredible vegan sushi spot in Long Beach. I didn't come with much expectations and was really impressed with the food. When you arrive, you order at the front and then they will bring the food to you. They definitely put a lot of attention in their ingredients and presentation. My favorite roll was the spider roll which was crisp, flavorful and hit the spot. I also tried the tuna hand roll which had a nice texture and overall was delicious. Even though the setting is pretty simplistic with not much of an aesthetic, the delicious food made up for it. The restaurant is located in a neighborhood area so you can find parking there. I will definitely come back to enjoy their other rolls. read more

Still delicious, still consistent. Definitely going to come back and back and back. We still think the best is the Red Dragon roll.

There's something deeply intimate about food crafted by a single pair of hands and this vegan sushi proves that passion can be tasted in every bite. From the moment the plate arrived, it felt less like a meal and more like a carefully composed work of art. Each roll was perfectly crisp on the outside, giving way to a soft, flavorful interior layered with fresh avocado, savory fillings, and that satisfying sushi rice texture we all crave. The sauces? Absolutely decadent. A rich, spicy drizzle balanced with a slightly sweet glaze, finished with sesame seeds and green onions it created a harmony of flavors that danced between bold and comforting. Every bite had depth, not just taste but intention. What truly elevates this experience is knowing it's all made by one person. You can feel the dedication in the details the precision of each slice, the balance of textures, the way everything comes together so effortlessly. It's not just food... it's craftsmanship. And let's not ignore the presentation the vibrant orchid, the glossy finish of the sauces, the golden crisp of the roll it's clear this is someone who cares deeply about what they create. Final Verdict: This isn't just vegan sushi it's proof that plant based food can be indulgent, creative, and soul satisfying. A hidden gem crafted with intention, skill, and heart. (5/5 without hesitation) read more
