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

One of the tastiest vegan restaurants in the city

Before I start, definitely go ahead and order the cauliflower wings now 😝

The sushi rolls here are generously sized and the portion sizes are super filling, so don't make the same mistake that I did my first time here and order way too much food - save room for postres!

The staff here is super friendly, as most Paisas tend to be! The seating is not the most comfortable, but the quality of the food and variety of flavors offered definitely makes up for that.

My only real complaint is that it's a little pricey for Medellín, but I still think it's worth eating here at least once or twice if you get the chance!

-----

Antes de empezar, pide ya los bombones de coliflor 😝

Los rollos de sushi aquí son de tamaño generoso y los porciones son super sustanciosos. No cometas el mismo error que hice mi primera vez aquí y pedir demasiada comida - ahorra espacio para postres!

La gente es muy amable, como la mayoría de los paisas. Los sillas no son los más comodos, pero la calidad de la comida y la variedad de sabores que ofrecen definitivamenta lo compensa.

Mi única queja real es que es un poco caro para Medellín, pero sigo pensando que vale la pena comer aquí al menos una o dos veces si tiene la oportunidad!

Pros: Flavorful food, Friendly staff

Cons: Kind of pricey

Amazing food

We loved this place. It seems quite basic at first glance in terms of decor. A bit like an average cheap restaurant. But my goodness the food is exquisite. Vegan sushi like I have never tasted before. Don’t think I got any photos as I was too busy eating!

Pros: Food is divine , Good menu choices , Reasonable prices

Cons: Food is fancy restaurant isn’t!

Nice food, ok atmosphere

The sushi was very nice, but the atmosphere felt a little lacking. It felt a bit run down too. The prices reflect the area being very touristy.

Pros: Good food, Nice servers

Cons: Bland atmosphere , Overpriced/tourist prices

Awesome vegan sushi!

This place is wonderful! It's not easy to find a fully vegan sushi restaurant and I'm so glad I found this place.
