Delicious Sushi! - Edit
Excellent variety, everything is plant based. Spicy rolls were pleasantly spicy, not too overpowering and it definitely tasted “fishy”. They do have non-fish type options too, for those who don’t want fake fish. Cheesecake was good too. Would def go back.

Best Sushi in Seattle - Edit
The rolls are delicious and dessert is a must have. It originally served fish however the owners went vegan during covid and transitioned their restaurant to vegan sushi.

I don't get the hype - Edit
Maybe I was just there on a bad day, but I had high expectations based on all these reviews and didn't really enjoy the meal. We got the spicy tuna roll and the Queen Anne roll, and I found both pretty bland. While I was impressed by how fishy the vegan fish substitutes tasted, all the different ingredients of each roll kind of blended together into a flat, extremely mild flavor. I guess I would have preferred a fresh, tangy roll with just pickled veggies in it. The jalapeño poppers and tempura were good though.

Get the Gyoza - Edit
We sat outside and had some tea and sparkling water, ordered the gyoza and two rolls (Mr Krabs and Geisha). Our food came out quickly. The gyoza were freshly fried and super tasty. The Mr Krabs roll was also fried and good but a bit heavy. The geisha roll was a more traditional flavor and was supposed to be spicy but I found it mild.
Read moreI was still hungry so I ended up getting another roll for myself called the Orion which was a smaller, chewy roll. It ended up as my favorite. Our server was very helpful in recommending other vegan options in the city.
We sat outside, but if you sit indoors a sushi-robot brings you your food.
Overall, the food was really good, and the service was fast and excellent, however the food was a bit pricy. Recommended!
Pros: Quick helpful service, Lots of options, Tasty
Cons: A bit pricy

Fun Vegan Sushi in Seattle - Edit
A great menu with many options. Also had several that were gluten free. They were also very conscientious about providing tamari and keeping gluten well segregated when needed.

So many tasty options - Edit
We've probably all had vegan sushi before, but likely with few options; avocado, bean curd, cucumber, maybe some peanuts. But The Sushi Samurai is on an entirely different level. We had as hard a time choosing our favorite sushi of 3 as we did choosing 3 from the delightfully large menu. The cheesecake is so darned good too, and we learned it's made in-house. Kudos!

Sushi is okay. The miso soup is gross. - Edit
There is better vegan sushi in Seattle than this, but what was notable to me was the miso soup. It was as sweet as a dessert. I couldn't finish it. I'll probably go to other places with vegan sushi in the future.

Cons: Miso soup taste

Hi Rachel. What is your recommendation for better vegan sushi? I think Kamakura is a lot better but im always looking for more spots.

Awesome - Edit
Sushi per nature is not vegan friendly. So, while visiting Seattle, I saw this opportunity… I marked to as a go to place. I have not been disappointed, and the experience and everything was awesome

They have upped their game! Better each time I come here. The gyoza was on point and the sushi was bomb. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Cool atmosphere. They even have a robot that brings the food out.

Not very good - Edit
I do not understand all of these 5 star reviews. The food was incredibly BLAND! No flavor at all. The presentation was nice I guess.
Read moreThe cheesecake was super SALTY and not sweet, while the crust was very soft, making the entire cheesecake a mouthful of thick mush. And why is the wasabi in the same to-go container as the ginger - I don't want wasabi-flavored ginger! Will not be going back. Also the heath rating is only "good".
It's not all vegan but momiji is so much better and tasty.

Incredible food - Edit
The food is absolutely delicious. The staff is so kind and welcoming. We love coming here! It’s really cool to be able to eat sushi again. Their faux seafood is really tasty, and they make it in house. Show up hungry so you can try a lot of dishes!

Excellent vegan sushi! - Edit
Really delicious vegan sushi! It's a fun experience to have the fish substitutes as opposed to the usual tofu and veggie combos for vegan sushi. The tiger roll was the star of the show for us, and the mango cheesecake was stunning. Lovely atmosphere and super friendly staff. They also have two seats at the bar where you can play Mario tennis which is very sweet and we definitely want to do next time.

Very impressive - Edit
I love seeing vegan sushi places popping up more over the years and sushi samurai is easily one of the best I've been to. The menu has lots of options to suit a wide range of tastes. The faux fish is quite realistic, my partner is always in awe of it. They also don't skimp on the presentation. Have had good service the few times I've gone. The restaurant is on the smaller size so I'd recommend a reservation during peak hours if you don't want to wait. But it's definitely worth waiting for!

Delicious vegan sushi - Edit
Loved the expansive menu.
Read moreSome of the faux fish options weren't my favorite, so my one critique would be that I wish there were a few more veg forward rolls but you can get veg rolls lots of places, sushi samurai offers stuff you can't find elsewhere

Wonderful Sushi Experience - Edit
Sushi Samurai goes for a 1:1 fish emulation experience. So they try to emulate exactly what salmon and other fish taste and feel like to eat, and they do a great job!
Read moreAppetizers: I got the edamame and miso soup, both were great.
Tiger Roll: I felt this was an above average roll, but technically excellent. This roll puts on display their ability to pull off a true vegan fish. The chewiness and flavor pretty much nail it.
Mr Krabs: This was the opposite of the Tiger Roll - a fantastic roll that comes together beautifully, but less technically impressive with less “fish” textures to show off. I loved this one, was my favorite of the two!
Service was great. My only criticism is lack of physical menus. I want to enjoy my experience here, not on my phone. And it’s nice to be able to see all the menu items at once without needing to scroll between them. Would really love to see menus!

Truly excellent sushi - Edit
I've been meaning to visit Sushi Samurai for some time, and now I'm disappointed I didn't go sooner! The menu was inventive, the food was delicious, and the staff were super friendly. I loved each roll and appreciated being able to sit outside on the patio too. Highly recommended.

Mind Blowing Vegan Sushi. We’ll Be Back! - Edit
We had an amazing all-around experience here. I think it’s wild that there is a veganfied sushi restaurant. Fish is one of the foods that has not really been made vegan, and while we’ve had some over the years, I couldn’t imagine having a vegan version of sushi using fish substitutes until now.
Read moreWhen we got to the restaurant, we were excited to see what they could create. The menu was excellent with options for anyone and everyone. The place definitely had a Japanese vibe—my son was given a neat little melon drink, and I got a Sapporo beer. We started with spring rolls that were excellent along with classic edamame and a spicy version.
That set the stage for the entrées where each of us got our own sushi. The sushi was the bomb. Let’s just say we’ll be back again before our trip ends. Other tables felt the same and couldn’t believe they were eating sushi again, and I’m not talking about just veggie sushi. While some people will never understand why we’d want to replicate fish or meat in general, why not?
The service was very good, and overall this was one of the most memorable meals of our trip.

A dream come true! - Edit
I kicked myself the last time I got sushi from somewhere else, like what was I thinking?! This time I got a free Cupid Roll bc I follow them on IG + I was hella skeptical about the strawberry on top, but I was wrong! It was my favorite of the 3. The spiciness of the Ring of Fire drowned out the flavor + my partner had to get up from the table + walk it off, lol. I enjoyed the Red Dragon, but I won’t get it again. I recommend eating the flower “Lady + the Tramp” style if you’re on a date.
Read moreI do wish they’d handle takeout containers more gingerly (har har) so the sauces don’t get stuck to the lid, but oh well, I can smear it back on.
UPDATE: Mr. Krabs is my new fave! After that I would say cupid, dragon, tofu katsu, red dragon, ring of fire.
