Delicious rolls, I think its the only vegan sushi place in Seattle too The chef/ owner was very nice and recommended dishes based on our questions, we really like his choices. Im in California now but if i was ever in Seattle again I would definitely eat there as much as i could. read more

I cannot tell you how excited I was to find this place. Vegan sushi?! UNHEARD of. Unfortunately I live in Portland or this place would be a go to for me. We tried about 6 different rolls and they were all incredible. The highlight was definitely the Queen Anne, the curry roll was good but definitely could've used a lot more curry sauce. Also had the mango roll, salty sweet is the best combo IMO. If you know someone who poo poos vegan food PLEASE bring them here. Service was super fast and the waiter that evening was very friendly. read more

Had a really lovely experience here! They have a wide selection of options and were able to accommodate my sesame allergy too. They have a menu subset that's also gluten free. Honestly this place is killing it with the dietary options! Every roll I had was tasty and well-made - nothing falling apart. The service was very kind and attentive, checking in if I needed anything and how it was going but not nagging at all. It's a smaller spot but the booths are cozy and they look like they could accommodate a larger group if needed too. Will definitely be back here for more! read more

This eatery has an all-vegan jam-packed menu! The owners were very nice and told us that they hand make their own vegan tuna, salmon and other fish substitutes with carrots, soy and a rue of spices and sauces. What was even more fun was that they had a cat robot that served your meal!

Sushi was one of my favorite foods before I started eating plant-based. I'm so glad to have found this place now! The sushi was really yummy. The dragon roll and spicy tuna roll were my favorites. Waiter was really friendly and the food came out quickly. I'm excited to go back! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE Vegetarian who lives in Seattle here and let me tell you this place is worth the visit. There are so many sushi shops around but if you have any restrictions with meat or are pregnant and not wanting to eat any or just looking for amazing vegetable based sushi this is for you. Everything is fantastic I recommend going for their special rolls or whatever your server recommends. It can be busy but is never too loud and they I do have a vendetta against the wobbly uncomfy furniture outside I still cannot take this down a star it is too good. Recommend the green goodness, habanero roll, red dragon, and the crusty crab! read more

I've never had Vegan sushi before. We've walked past this place a lot but never bothered to check it out until today. We were missing out. The inside has soft lighting with plenty of seating. They serve the food with a little robot. Service was phenomenal, they were so kind, checked up on us a lot and also had personalized conversations with multiple people dining in the restaurant. The sushi was so delicious. Great / similar texture of non vegan sushi. We ordered the geisha, spicy tuna, veggie and Queen Anne roll. 14 pieces total between two people. Queen Anne and geisha were definitely a table favorite. The roles were fairly large considering they didn't have a piece of fish in it. 10000% will be returning asap read more

Glad to have found a vegan sushi spot in Seattle. Never really enjoyed sushi being a vegetarian until today and now have the entire menu to pick from! Food was really good, service was also quick as not too busy on a weekday. We tried spring rolls, mango sake, Mr.Crabs - tempura roll, Maui and strawberry cheesecake . Everything was delicious and exceeded expectations! Will definitely revisit. read more

Excellent place. It's a small place so booking a reservation is not a bad idea. I went with a friend and we tried all the gluten free rolls. By the way this place is fully vegan. Everything is mocked fish. My favourites were Spicy Tuna, Seattle Roll and Yoga. All are gluten-free. I wouldn't recommend Mango Tango. The service was excellent. Very nice host and really passionate about the restaurant and its menu. read more

Love to see a 100% plant based sushi restaurant in Seattle! We know the city certainly could use the diversity. 5 stars for the creativity of making quality sushi without fish! That's true talent. Service was great. Restaurant is quaint. Fun casual vibe. Food was good but I think we ordered incorrectly for our likings. Everything had the vegan mayo which we quickly realized we do not like. We would love to come back and try all the other rolls with no mayo. As the sushi rolls were good! read more

Me and my family were introduced to this restaurant through one of my sisters' friends and i can say without a doubt that it is the best vegan sushi i've had in my life.

The folks who work there are so kind, open and will give the best suggestions! If you're ever in the Queen Anne area or Seattle in general i sincerely highly recommend you check this place out! read more

Don't think about it, eat at this wonderful vegan restaurant. Even if you are not a sushi lover (me). I've been converted. We walked in and were quickly seated on a gorgeous mid-week evening; tables filled up fairly quickly, but bar seating remained available. Given we walked from South Lake Union (~40 minutes, a good climb) a reservation would have been a good idea. For appetizers, the Kaiso (seaweed salad) was a surprise star; it was not a unanimous choice but everyone enjoyed it. The classic edamame was...edamame, good but you can get similar pretty much anywhere. In the future we would probably try the garlic or spicy edamame options or another appetizer. For the sushi, everything was great. Mr. Krabs was the 'must order' option. I expect it will be ordered on all visits. We also enjoyed the Yoga Roll, Maui, and Mango Tango. Of the four, Mango Tango was least enjoyed, although it was still good. Looking forward to exploring the menu further on future visits. read more

Came around 8pm on a weekend. Parking was really easy with free street parking. The shop is pretty small so it was completely packed. We waited about 5min for a table as it was getting late. Menu is very extensive so we did take a bit to order after being seated. Served wasand food came after 20min from ordering. 7/10 Ring of Fire $10.24 6pc - just meh, little below real sushi compared to grocery store sushi. 9/10 Katana $15.99 8pc - very solid! Texture and taste both were excellent and quite comparable to good real sushi 7/10 Crunchy Salmon $11.99 6pc - similar sentiment as ring of fire. Nothing really stood out in a good or bad way. 10/10 Dragon $16.99 8pc - amazing! The top replicated seared salmon/fish taste and the sauce is the same as the unagi sauce which was so good!! Must get! Overall expensive but good spot considering it is vegan.

We went for a Sunday dinner and had a great time. We tried the PNW and dragon rolls as well as the gyoza. As a non-vegan sushi lover, I thought everything was very yummy. All of the vegan fish was a good texture and flavor, and the rolls had a lot of different sauces and other ingredients that paired well together. The tea was surprisingly flavorful (oftentimes restaurant tea is just okay) and well brewed as well. The server was super attentive and very good at getting anything we needed + refilled the tea pot very quickly whenever we ran out. The restaurant is also a very cute date spot with tea lights and high walled booths that make it feel pretty private even when there are other tables nearby. I'll definitely come back in the near future. read more

The food here is great, a bit pricey but worth it for the novelty. Staff is really great too. I just think the robot they have is really loud and distracting, our waitress came over and took the food from the robot and put it on our table anyway so I don't see the point of it I guess... also the tvs were playing the menu of whatever streaming service they have on a loop the whole hour we were there. I feel like it really took away from the mood in the very intimate space. read more

I am so grateful to have this vegan sushi place in Seattle and glad to have been able to dine here! We will be back! The experience was absolutely amazing. Everything from the customer service to the sushi was excellent! The atmosphere is very casual and laid back. I loved the vibe! I had the crunchy shrimp sushi and it was delicious. My wife and I also had other types of sushi as well. I am vegetarian, but I am also allergic to shellfish, so I am glad I found this place so that I can have a plant based shellfish taste. The sushi did not appear vegan or taste vegan, and the taste was awesome! I highly recommend Sushi Samurai! We also loved Mio the robot who assists the servers. She is so cute! read more

Great space, cozy seating, and great attentive service which is very welcoming. That said, at the end of the day, the sushi was nothing special or exciting and while most rolls are priced well, I felt like each roll I was paying $9 for white rice with a tiny bit of filling. I love that they are offering vegan sushi, but we need more on an offering than a small white plate with 6 pieces of mostly white rice. The sake we ordered was excellent (I don't normally enjoy sake) and cold beer, but I hope they put a little more TLC into their sushi roll offerings (That's the name of the location.) read more

We came here on our visit to Seattle as our special anniversary dinner, but unfortunately it was a miss and probably our worst meal of the weekend. Service was excellent, and we really enjoyed chatting with the owner. The miso soup was thin and sweet. The rolls were overly focused on faux fish replacements, which caters more to omnivores than plant-based folks. This makes sense considering that the owner himself was not plant-based (as he told us). Worst of all was that the food was not fresh. The seaweed salad was past its prime. The avocado was off (maybe previously frozen). Even my non-picky husband wasn't a fan. What was meant to be a special meal ended up being a quick hour where we opted out of dessert and went back to our hotel to soothe our upset bellies. read more

This was my first ever time trying vegan sushi and I have to say that I'm sad I haven't tried it sooner. We ordered their gyoza and 4 rolls: The Samurai, Red Dragon, PNW, and one other one but I forget the name. Our favorite was between the Samurai and Red Dragon. But I also liked the citrus taste in the PNW. They have a robot server and our actual server was super kind and knowledgeable. They really have the sushi/fish texture and taste down. I'm a fan. read more

I had been wanting to try vegan sashimi and I was pleased by my first experience. We started with seaweed salad, followed by an order of tempura rolls and Seattle roll. The seaweed salad was perfectly seasoned, a good balance of sweet and savory. The tempura rolls were crispy and delicious. The Seattle roll's vegan sashimi had me fooled. It tasted like salmon! The flavor on its own was a bit understated but paired beautifully with wasabi and soy sauce. For dessert, we ordered the pecan cheesecake which was so lovely in its presentation. The orchids were edible! We enjoyed munching on a few once we learned they were more than just a garnish. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind.The ambiance was relaxed and welcoming and the bathroom was spotless. I would love to return to try some of the other menu offerings as they have such a great selection of fresh sushi. read more

A lot to consider in this review. There are signs everywhere that say it's vegan food. When you come in, the seating host reminds you that it is vegan. As a vegetarian, I appreciate having the options. I had miso, Ring of Fire, and Red Dragon. The presentation is excellent, and the texture is what you would expect from fish. The flavors... The miso is not miso. It's a veggie broth with cilantro. Tasty and a bit sweet for me. I wonder why they don't use miso paste and exclude the dashi (fish flakes). The roles were filling but lacked heat from the Ghost pepper and spicy mayo. The flavors are lackluster and could use more seasoning (rice vinegar) and promised heat from the chilis. Service was reasonable for a Saturday night with one server and two chefs. Prices... you pay for eating vegetarian. There is a value-to-price ratio that made this a more difficult rating than others. It happens everywhere, and while it is counterintuitive, I find it with most restaurants. I'll give Sushi Samurai another go in a few months. read more

OK, Vegan sushi sounds crazy. But this place serves tasty food! Many pluses: upon being seated our server told us "everything is vegan, that's ok with you, right?" Yes - and sincere thanks for asking (or warning?!). Anyway, our server was super nice. One refreshing thing was that unlike every other vegan person/establishment I've ever dealt with, they never mentioned the vegan aspect again. So - about the food, we had some appetizers and four generous-sized sushi rolls. In my photo from Left to Right - Yoga Roll (on separate plate): Sweet tofu, cucumbers, cilantro, sweet chili sauce. Ring of Fire (my favorite! Not that spicy!) GHOST PEPPER SAUCE, white fish, cucumbers, togarashi spice, jalapeno, ponzu sauce. Maui Roll - Tuna, spicy tuna sauce, tempura green onion, poke sauce, sesame seeds Geisha Tempura shrimp, spicy mayo, sweet sauce, avocado, cucumbers, crunchy tempura flakes. All these were good though the sweet sauce on the Geisha Roll was a bit sweet for me. Our appetizers were the only things that didn't dazzle. The miso soup was just broth with tiny bits of seaweed and a couple scallion bits. It was surprisingly sweet! The gyoza were fried to a very crisp crisp. I'd go back - and not just for the novelty. I'd particularly like to take my hippied-out vegan/vegetarian friends here. Street parking was easily available and again our server was excellent. read more

EVERYTHING ON THE MENU IS TO DIE FOR. I'm always on the hunt for good vegan food - I'm not vegan but just love to explore options and this did not disappoint at all. Usually when a certain dish is prepared with a vegan perspective, it's quite difficult to mimic the texture of meat and I was really curious to see how they would pull that off with sushi since raw fish has a really unique texture. I was blown away by how similar it was to the actual texture. They don't make the vegan salmon in-house, but it was so delicious and I really couldn't have been able to tell it wasn't fish if I didn't already know it was vegan. Even the LOOK was on point, as they somehow mimicked the coloring and the white lines on the salmon too. They have outdoor dining options too if you have a well behaved doggo (ours was the perfect boy). read more

So nice to find an all-vegan sushi place, and even non-vegans love it! We shared the Green Goddess roll (avo, carrot, sesame seeds, tempura scallions), the Yoga roll (sweet tofu, cucumbers, cilantro, sweet chili sauce), and the Seattle Tempura roll (vegan salmon made from konjac, avo, cream cheeze). The Yoga roll was the least expensive and was actually our favourite, although we enjoyed them all. Service was excellent. Super-nice staff. They were happy to keep refilling our water on such a hot day! The interior is a little small-ish but they have a super-cute outdoor space. We wanted the A/C so we sat inside. Kind of a hole-in-the-wall vibe but cute. I highly recommend to vegans and non-vegans alike! read more

VEGAN SUSHI?! Utterly fantastic! Went on a very busy weekend evening so it was a little slow on the service but oh man it was worth it. From the miso soup to the sushi rolls, I was in heaven. What is the "fish" made out of?! Idk but oh my god I wouldn't even know it's vegan. Tastes EXACTLY like OG sushi. Probably even better because there's no fishy aftertaste you sometimes get. read more
