stopped in for the weekday lunch special and loved it! wait staff were super friendly and answered all of our questions with ease. food was soooo good, but be warned, their fake meats/fish are VERY realistic. as longtime vegans we really enjoyed that, and our omni friends were very impressed

Beyond Sushi was awesome!<br><br>The ramen soups were very good. The vegan egg and steak in one, and the chicken in the other, were AMAZING. The broth was a bit mild, though.<br><br>But the sushiiiiiiiiiii… wow! The salmon avocado, spicy crab, and spicy tuna rolls were absolutely delicious. The chocolate-hazelnut dessert was fantastic as well.<br><br>The price is a bit on the high side, but we were lucky that everything we wanted qualified for the weekday lunch special (Mon–Fri).<br><br>Great vegan place. Highly recommended! 🌱🍣🍜🍫

We went at lunch for the special offers, which are great value. The standout dish for us was the ginger and beef dumplings, but everything was tasty. Loved the pandan mousse cake for dessert as well. The staff were so welcoming and friendly and it was such a special dining experience.

Great experience! We ordered sushi tuna & mango, and it came out very fresh and delicious. The chicken bao was amazing, and the spicy ramen bowl was packed with flavor. The Nutty Buddy lettuce wrap was alright, but overall everything else was excellent. Definitely would come back! Great service and staff was super friendly.

Shout out to staff member Mikey for recommending us the spicy mang and charred avocado rolls! You were so kind and lovely to speak to! (We were the long distance couple from TN / Liverpool!)<br><br>We picked up sushi to go earlier in our NYC trip, and stopped by to pick up more on our final day as our last meal before our flights out. As someone who is plant-based, it was so nice to have this location near our hotel, and to have so many options on the menu to choose from– the food was delicious and I really appreciate the creativity in flavors and menu items. The next time I'm in NYC I will be back to try more!

Response from the owner

Thank you so much, Isabel. We’re glad you enjoyed your plant-based food and that Mikey took great care of you. It means a lot that you came back before your flight.<br><br>— Beyond Sushi Team<br>City Roots Hospitality | Beyond Sushi – Vegan Restaurants in NYC

Sadly, this place didn’t go beyond our expectations. We ordered 4 dishes and all were subpar in taste. It’s a vegan restaurant, but the chicken tasted like soy. Efforts were missing from flavor and innovation standpoint. I understand the mock meat concept, but if we look at Urban Vegan Kitchen, that’s an amazing restaurant; we tried the shrimp there and it tasted like real meat, here at Beyond Sushi, it just tasted like soy.<br>The service was not up to the mark either. The order in which the food was served didn’t make much sense, we received the ramen first, and then the sides were served much later, after quite a long wait.<br>Since it’s a restaurant, I’ll focus on the food. The flavors were missing across the board; the yam was better than the rest, but overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place. My recommendations for vegan cuisine would be: urban vegan kitchen, spicy moon (it’s worth the money)

Response from the owner

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Manali. We’re sorry to hear your experience did not meet expectations. We always strive to provide flavorful dishes and attentive service, so it’s disappointing to hear we fell short during your visit.<br><br>We appreciate your detailed comments regarding the food, timing of service, and overall experience, and we will share them with our culinary and operations teams as we continue working to improve.<br><br>Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review.<br><br>— Beyond Sushi Team<br>City Roots Hospitality | Beyond Sushi – Vegan Restaurants in NYC

Beyond Sushi in NYC is such a solid spot for vegan food—everything feels fresh, creative, and actually satisfying (not always easy to find with plant-based spots).<br><br>The ube cheesecake is a MUST HAVE. Easily the highlight—rich, unique, and not overly sweet. I’d go back just for that alone.<br><br>The crab rangoons were also delicious—crispy, flavorful, and super addictive. My only complaint is I wish there were more of them because they disappeared fast.<br><br>I tried the ramen as well, and while the broth and overall flavor were good, the egg leaned a bit too “eggy” for my taste. Not a dealbreaker, but something I’d probably skip next time.<br><br>Overall though, great experience and definitely a place I’d come back to.

Response from the owner

Thank you, Andre, for your thoughtful review. We’re glad you see us as a solid spot for vegan food and that you enjoyed your experience with us. We hope to welcome you back again soon.<br><br>– Beyond Sushi Team<br>City Roots Hospitality | Beyond Sushi Vegan Restaurants in NYC

Where to start, with a positive, yes.<br><br>Be aware of any allergies that you might have to food.<br><br>The service was very good. The waiter knew the food and understood all the angles of vegan to non vegan to vegan food.<br><br>This place is 100% vegan.<br><br>It is nice to know that we can go there, just in case.<br><br>Taste, flavor, texture. All similar to mid-level Sushi.<br><br>Which takes us to the food. It is not really Sushi. However, it is priced like Sushi. So, if you want to pay for fruit and veggies, shaped and flavored like Sushi. This is your place.<br><br>The atmosphere is wanting, was the budget inadequate, or did the designer give up half way through.<br><br>Positive out. I do have clients that are 100% vegan. So I will be taking them here.<br><br>The place was really clean.<br><br>Service is really great.<br><br>Overpriced for not Sushi.<br><br>⚛️

My first time Beyond Sushi and it did not disappoint! I went in alone and my server, Robbin, was AMAZING. She made me feel so comfortable eating solo (which can sometimes feel awkward for me lol) and was so warm and attentive the entire time.<br><br>The food was absolutely delicious and Mondays are a win with their $9 Maki Monday rolls! My cocktail Infinity and Beyond and matcha were both perfect too. 10/10 experience. I’ll definitely be back 💚🍣

Response from the owner

Thank you, Jacklyn. We’re so glad you had a great first visit and that Robbin took such good care of you. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.<br><br>— Beyond Sushi Team<br>City Roots Hospitality | Beyond Sushi – Vegan Restaurants in NYC

I’ve been meaning to visit this place for a while and finally got the chance to try their menu. The ambience is chic yet casual, making it a comfortable spot to dine. The food presentation was beautiful. The spicy mango sushi and the tuna sushi both tasted amazing, and the pork dumplings were really good as well. I also tried the pandan coconut mousse, which was incredible and very beautifully presented. The Americano coffee was solid too. The staff were attentive, friendly, and offered great suggestions and recommendations. Will definitely visit again.

I’ve been vegan for two years and have tried many restaurants some great, some good, some not so great but Beyond Sushi is hands down the best I’ve ever had. No exaggeration. The food was absolutely top-tier, made with fresh ingredients, and every bite was amazing. I’ll definitely be recommending it and returning soon.<br><br>Our server, Mikey, was awesome super knowledgeable about the menu and gave us a few suggestions (which turned out to be incredible). If you’re hesitant about going, don’t be. Please go you won’t be disappointed, I promise!

Response from the owner

Thank you, Jasmine. We’re honored to be your top vegan spot and glad you loved the food. Mikey will be happy to hear his recommendations made your visit even better.

I had such an enjoyable experience at Beyond Sushi today. I was craving sushi and it happened to be Christmas Eve. I was pleasantly surprised to find them not only open, but very busy. I was greeted with the most genuine smile. The lunch special was a great value at $19 for 2 rolls. I had the salmon roll and the mushroom roll with truffle sauce. Both were delicious! Big shoutout to my lovely server Shara. She was very personable and attentive. The entire staff made my afternoon so pleasant. I left with a smile and a full belly. Thank you!

All 10/10.<br><br>Can’t wait for the next visit!<br><br>Benji, Sarah-Lou and Freddie (UK) x
