This was the best vegan sushi we have had. The food was so worth it. We ordered the Stressed Out from the Yasai specialty and Triple Tomato and Tantan Men from the Ramen menu. Everyone liked the dish they ordered. Good experience to see sushi made by the chef behind the open counter. The indoor seating was comfortable and the ambience was lovely. We will be visiting again to try out other dishes.
