Made reservations for 4:30 Friday. Had a reserved table waiting on us. Located in the Queen Anne. Tried all the nigiri, excellent! We tried the Dragon roll, Red Dragon roll then the owner recommended his wife's favorite roll. To die for. They have wine/beer/sake House cold sake was delish. It was an hour drive for us but we will be back!
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! As a non vegan who loves sushi, I was skeptical about whether or not I would like vegan sushi. Boy, was I wrong. The rolls here are as good as regular fish and the service is amazing! Raymar and his brother Ray have created a warm, familial environment with some of the best vegan sushi on the west coast. GO NOW!!
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. QR Menu: https://www.foodbooking.com/ordering/restaurant/menu?restaurant_uid=c50e807b-eaed-479a-b270-64953afe4598&dine_in=true
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!
Amazing vegan sushi! Has similar to texture to real fish and the rolls are very flavorful. The owner is very friendly and fun to talk to, and the service is very attentive. The restaurant is cozy so i would definitely advise making a reservation beforehand if possible. We had to wait a good bit for our food to arrive (we also ordered 6 rolls). Would definitely recommend this place for vegetarians/vegans!
This place is insane. Sushi is one of the last remnants of my pre-veggie lifestyle I long for, and hearing this place opted INTO vegan sushi for no good reason I could ascertain made me VERY interested in it. I could list the rolls and drinks and all that, but for the sake of brevity I'll say, Sushi Samurai rules. The rolls are incredible. The drinks are incredible. The weird little robot is a bit i'm not sure about but brings some charm, and the staff are lovely people that are just stoked about the whole thing. We'll be back. Probably a ton of times considering how far this place is from our home base. It hit an itch we haven't scratched since going veggie, and I crave it at least once a week since we came out for it.
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).
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.
I think this is one of my all-time favorite vegan sushi spots, and I've been to many in different cities. I came with two vegetarian friends on a Friday evening without a reservation, and after about a 10 minute wait, we were seated on their outdoor patio. It was a beautiful summer day, the weather was warm, and I was excited to try their sushi! My friends ordered the Aladdin unfiltered sake bottle to share, which comes in a cute potion-like bottle (which we later brought home for Halloween decor :p). We also got the edamame and gyoza as appetizers, both of which I loved!! The edamame was perfectly salted, and the gyoza was nice and crispy, with a delicious dipping sauce to pair. As for sushi, we got the Yoga roll, Avocado roll, and Katana roll. I usually prefer vegetarian sushi places that are more vegetable-forward, instead of trying to use fake fish substitutes. However, I absolutely loved the vegan salmon!! A lot of times vegan fish can taste kind of weird for me, texture-wise, especially as a non-vegetarian, but this was really good and definitely changed my outlook on vegan fish substitutes. The plating on the dishes is also beautiful, and very camera friendly. The prices are pretty standard for Seattle, and I'm definitely excited to come back and try new rolls!
