These 20 Restaurants in the US Serve Up Some of the Best Sushi—Hold the Fish

Vegan sushi is gaining popularity in the US, with a variety of innovative and tasty options available at restaurants across the country. Traditional sushi, which usually involves raw fish, has been adapted to include plant-based alternatives like konjac, tofu, jackfruit, and mushrooms. Chefs have successfully replicated the texture and flavors of fish using vegan ingredients and techniques. Vegan sushi can be found in different forms such as nigiri, rolls, and hand rolls, with condiments like spicy mayo, tempura flakes, and seaweed-based "caviar" adding extra flavor and texture.

Some notable restaurants in the US serving exceptional vegan sushi include Beyond Sushi in New York City, Planta with multiple locations, Shojin Organic and Natural in Los Angeles, and Shizen in San Francisco. These establishments offer a wide range of delicious plant-based sushi options that cater to both sushi lovers and those looking to explore vegan cuisine. The availability and creativity of vegan sushi continue to grow, providing an exciting and flavorful alternative for diners across the country.
