Vegetarian Sushi

Vegetarian sushi is somewhat scarce in Austin. All sushi bars offer vegetarian rolls, though, and you can also ask the sushi chef to create specialty vegetarian rolls.

We like the vegetarian sushi at Whole Foods, which is pre-made and available to-go in the refrigerated section.

We also like the very limited vegetarian sushi selection at Veggie Heaven, an excellent vegetarian restaurant.

Vegans will appreciate the macrobiotic vegetarian sushi night at Casa De Luz. It's on the first Monday of the month, from 6pm-8pm.

This place is great. Open three months, Yanagi is next to Gold's Gym on West William Cannon. I haven't had better, and I've had sushi all over the U.S and in many countries.

Mizu Prime Steak and Sushi is a world class restaurant located in the hills of West Austin in Lakeway at 3001 RR620 S. Mizu features prime steaks with a full sushi bar and innovative new American cuisine. The food and wine shine and are the focus in a beautiful space accompanied with miles of breath-taking views of the Hill Country that can be seen from the spacious patio. Mizo also boasts its modern sophisticated bar, The Branch; which offers specialty cocktails made fresh from ingredients grown on the property. (I recommend the Lychee Mint Martini) Mizo is offering buy one, get one free sushi rolls if you mention seeing this ad on austinsushi.com
