    Being the pioneer of the vegan sushi movement since July 2012, Beyond Sushi continues to delight both vegans and non-vegans with their creative use of seasonal fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. The new menu, three years in the works, has been carefully crafted by founders Chef Guy and Tali Vaknin. With the goal to expand beyond the regular rolls, the menu offers wide-ranging vegan dishes including dumplings, noodle salads, and noodle soups with catchy names such as “Smokey Tom,” “Chic Pea,” and “Jolly Onion.” In addition, the brand has reinvented their signature sushi rolls, rice bed salads, and paper wraps to intrigue the masses.

    “We are always inspired to create and re-create; it’s the foundation of how we thrive as beings,” said Chef Vaknin. “When people hear the name Beyond Sushi, we want them to really think beyond the rolls. We are a health conscious, green eatery making the “traditional”, unconventional and unique.”

    The 100% vegan brand is committed to being sustainable and locally sourced at an affordable price. For more information, please visit www.beyondsushi.com.

    A Perfect Date at TakaTaka

    TakaTaka in New York is an awesome little restaurant in South Village that is a perfect gem!  It is a fusion of Mexican and Japanese food with a really cool twist. Not only do they have conveyer belt sushi, but they also have delicious new additions on their menu for 2015.  I was so lucky to go check out the new menu and we both left very full and satisfied!

    The best part is the service. The waitress and waiters are friendly and take the time to explain each item and also give recommendations. It may seem a bit intimating to go to a fusion restaurant for the first time but trust me everything is delicious and not too wild but still edgy! We asked a lot of questions and they were able to answer all of them.
