Came back twice in one week for the first time in over three years (i.e. since the pandemic), because some friends and I wanted a vegan spot to eat at before or after a show nearby at NY City Center. I was pleasantly surprised at how much the menu has expanded since then. There are so many more sushi-type rolls, all with unique combinations and ingredients, and they were all so good. I was so happy to have a Philadelphia roll again, which I haven 't been able to have since going vegan, so this was quite the treat. And it tasted delicious! The Charred Avocado was also lovely and had a nice slight kick to it. But my favorite of the newer rolls I 've tried is the Ube Crunch, one of their special rolls. Such a great combination of flavors and textures. My only minor issue is that most of the rolls don 't have much protein in them. Despite having two rolls each time I came recently, I ended up feeling hungry not too long after. The 'zalmon ' and 'tuna ' are concoctions made from tapioca and other starches (I asked), so while they may look like their fishy counterparts, they don 't have anywhere near the same nutritional value ... and are probably highly processed foods anyway. I noticed some of the other non-sushi items (like the dumplings and many of the shared plate dishes) are more prominent in protein, but most of those I can 't have because they have too much gluten. So while the sushi rolls are fun to eat and are delicious, they 're not as filling. Regardless, my non-vegan friends who came with me were happy with the food they had here, so that 's a huge endorsement there.
