Amazing vegan sushi

The sushi was delicious and just as good for take-out a couple of days days later.

Increíble!

Cuánto he disfrutado con este sushi! Hacía años que deseaba probar un sitio así desde que soy vegetariana y no ha defraudado. El tempura roll estaba espectacular y el green roll también muy rico a pesar de que el hummus no me ha pegado mucho.
De entrantes hemos pedido unos bombones de coliflor (cantidad grande) y un baoburger que no es lo que esperábamos, ya que el pan no es el bao que teníamos en mente. Aún así, me ha gustado la combinación de la piña asada y el kimchi.
Spoiler: hemos salido rodando, os podéis ahorrar un entrante, ya que el sushi viene en 10 unidades.

Great food!

Was greeted in perfect English by a nice man who also makes the food. Open kitchen and cute little casual place. I had the cauliflower pieces with wonderful savory flavor. Also the sushi rolls are excellent. I didn't have the Ramen but I'll get that next time.Definitely worth checking out!

Delicious food and Good portions

Loved helecho so much we went back twice. First time definitely ordered too much food, we got the tempura roll, cauliflower bombons, inari and the gyozas. Definitely some of the best vegan sushi I have ever had and my partner who isn’t vegan also enjoyed the meal.

Pros: Generous portions , Good sushi , All vegan

Interesting rolls, generous portions, excellent food!

Helecho have a great range of sushi rolls to choose from and the size of them are generous compared to other countries I've had vegan sushi in (here's looking at Western Europe and the US). They also come with a side salad which is nice. We also ordered a burger made with a sweet donut-style bun which was pretty tasty and the sticky cauliflower wings were great too. Looking forward to trying more of the menu!

Edit: went back and the food was just as delicious and excellent as the first time!

Great sushi!

Some of the best vegan sushi I’ve had. Menu has a lot of variety I’ll be back to try more. Also got the brownie with helado, it was a great way to round out the evening

Average

I was excited to find a vegan sushi spot so close to where we were staying. I really wanted to leave it, I really did, but I found the restaurant underwhelming.

The menu is interesting and has varied flavours, such as mexican-spiced sushi.

The problem I found is that the flavour was a bit lacking in some of the dishes. We were recommended sushi wrapped in mango, but couldn't taste any sweetness. The other problem is that the sushi is served in 10 pieces, which is an awful lot. I'd have loved to have tried more of the menu, in smaller portion sizes. They would really benefit from a mixed platter or smaller sizes.

All sushi came with a side salad, which was a decent portion.

I would recommend eating here as a larger group of possible, to share plates and try more of the menu.

Pros: Better if eating as a group

Tasty vegan sushi in Medellin!

Really nice little restaurant in the El Poblado area of Medellin and the best place we’ve eaten in Medellin so far. We had the Tropi-roll and Maki-roll, both were very tasty and refreshing, a nice change from fried food. They also looked really good and had been made with a high attention to detail. We also had the cauliflower bombons and Inari, both of which were delicious and enjoyable. The waitresses were friendly and at the end of our meal said we could pick a little origami figure that they had made to take home. Overall a nice experience and would recommend visiting if you’re in Medellin.

Exciting vegan sushi.

I came here three times during my 10 days in Medellin. I love the sushi rolls. I tried many of them. All great. They use a nice cashew cream cheese and some are tempura. Yum. The mushroom soup was good but not my favorite. I think the cauliflower bites could be more Japanese tasting rather than bbq sauce but still they were tasty.

Pros: Very friendly, Not crowded, Affordable

It was simple but good

I was expecting a bit more but nonetheless satisfying. I somewhat enjoyed the experience. I did appreciate that once I paid they offered me a small origami gift made by the waitresses. I thought that was sweet😄

Pros: It’s all vegan, Good taste, variety of choices

My favorite spot in El Poblado Medellin

I came here twice during my visit to Medellin. The vegan sushi was spectacular, my favorite roll by far was the tropi-roll with mango. I liked the environment of the restaurant and really enjoyed speaking to the waiter who was very friendly and remembered me from my first visit earlier in the week. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in El Poblado.

The art of eating 🖌️🍴🇯🇵🌟

💁‍♂️ Incredibly kind staff
✨ Beautiful food arrangement
😋 Tasty food

🍜 Curry Soup
Fresh & tasty. You'll do nothing wrong ordering this dish. Personally I like it bit more creamy and given the picture in the menu it seemed like that. But it's more like a normal broth.

🍣 MX-Rolls
Super craftsmanship and round taste. Thumbs up

🍔 Boa Burger
Completely new taste to any Burger I had before. The pineapple and the other toppings made it bit acidulous which was a surprisingly nice thing. Especially adding some of the mayo which came with the fries has added to the taste imo.

All in all a round experience and I would definitely be back if visiting again 🌱

Great vegan sushi

We didn’t expect to find fully vegan sushi in Medellin so Helecho was a pleasant surprise. Sushi was great, cauliflower wings even better - place is pretty hot and a bit on the expensive side, but still a great find

lots of choices!

tasty vegan sushi! I haven’t tasted that many vegan sushi yet so I can’t really compare it but I really like it! It a bit pricy though compared with what you get, in my opinion!

Pros: good service, tasty food, everything is vegan

Alright Vegan Sushi

I went here for dinner with two friends. As a starter we shared the Inari (23.000 COP) and it was alright. The table next to us ordered cauliflower wings and it looked much better. I'll get that next time.

As our main we shared a Tempura Roll, an Mx Roll and a Tropi Roll. My favorite was the Tropi roll, followed by the Mx Roll, followed by the Tempura roll. None of them were spectacular but if I'd go back I'd get the Tropi roll again and perhaps the Mx roll. I've had better vegan sushi in a lot of other places (in Europe).

Update:
I had the lemon cake dessert and it was amazing! Definitely a recommendation
