For those sushi-loving vegans who have been eager to add some more variety to the cucumber and avocado rolls, Ma-Kin Vegan Sushi has your solution. With a traditional bar area where you can watch the chefs prepare your food, Ma-Kin’s menu seems unrecognizable from that of a traditional sushi bar. The expected edamame and tempura appetizers and miso soup are offered, in addition to Japanese entrees such as orange chicken and shrimp and teriyaki. Using Vegan Zeastar (plant-based salmon) as well as plant-based shrimp, crab, and lobster, they are able to offer cut and hand rolls including spicy tuna, spicy crab, salmon avocado, and California—which you may choose to couple with a selection or two from their sake menu.
