Excellent

We tried all the sushies, all of them are very tasty. The place is nice as well the staff. There are insects in two terrariums - for me it's a little bit strange of a vegan place..

Be Aware-insects, bugs and other gross creepy crawlies in tanks around the restaurant

The sushi itself was fine—nothing spectacular, but perfectly decent. However, I was completely unprepared for the large tank of insects in the restroom. I spent the entire meal afraid to look up because there was this huge enclosure full of millipedes or something similar. It was genuinely disgusting and incredibly unsettling. Honestly, I feel violated by the whole experience. Call me old fashioned but I prefer to eat without a jump scare.

Pros: Open late , Decent sushi

Cons: Bugs and other creepy crawlers in tanks

Not to my taste

Maybe i just dont like sushi but the combinations of flavours were odd to me and i didnt like it. Also 8 pieces for 9€ is not that cheap either

Very nice

We tried the 4x4 set (avocado, tofu, mango, and fig), and it was very nice. It would be nice if they had some more offerings.

Absolutely delicious!

Having never had sushi before (the idea of it/the smell of vegan options in a non vegan shop always put me off), we thought we’d try the sushi here - honestly, I was so pleasantly surprised at how much I loved it! So fresh and full of flavour - I think I’ll be back for dinner😄

Pros: Freshness , Flavour , Cost

A must

As soon as I walked into this restaurant, I was met with a friendly waiter, who lacked the toxic masculine vibe of a lot of the men here (sorry fellas… but ya’ll are terrifying and high key seem quite misogynistic), and a [censored] load of anarchy symbols. This was only gonna be awesome.

There were lots of unique and flavourful types of sushi. This would honestly be my main reason to revisit Bratislava.

nice sushi

i am not a sushi lover but that restaurant was the only fully vegan restaurant in my neighborhood that was even open until 0:00.
So I took two portions and it was quite good! good sauces / good texture. saved my evening. the dessert is also good.

Delicious & unique!

This place is quite peculiar... from the bugs in the terrarium, to the decor, and the mix of musical genres.

The flavors and options for the sushi are super unique. Each was amazing, and we especially loved the futomaki with tofu, chili mayonnaise, and fried onions.

We also enjoyed the daily limonada, which was kiwi - yum!

Pros: Unique menu

Cons: Slower service

Chill atmosphere, excellent food/service

I came here during lunch, had the special of 8 pieces (tofu) sushi and soup for 9.50€. They also offer lunch special of 6 pieces and soup for 7.50 and 8 6 pieces with soup for 14.50.
As for the live insects in the glass containers, they are from the owner...NOT the employees.

Pros: Quick, friendly service, Vegan employees, Tasty food

Cons: Live insects belonging to restaurant owner

Very good service

Very quick service and excellent sushi! 16 pieces are more than enough for two people. Highly recommend! They have some terrariums with some questionable bugs 😂

Pros: Quick service, Very tasty

Excellent vegan sushi

Fully vegan sushi place.

Lots of vegan options.
I opted for the lunch set which contains 8 pieces of sushi and soup.

They also have a rice pudding as dessert.

Prices are reasonable and staff is friendly.
Fast service too.

It’s a small place so not that many tables inside. Try to come early if you can.

Pros: Fully vegan, Prices are reasonable , Fast service

Cons: Not many tables inside

Good sushi

The sushi was good but the display of exotic insects in a tiny space doesn’t really go with the vibe of a vegan restaurant.

My husband‘s favourite place in Bratislava

Sushi and stick insect friends. Excellent.

Sure, I did feel like we weren’t quite cool enough to be there, but that’s on us.

Pros: Sushi, Stick insects, Speedy service
