Beyond Sushi (E 14th St)

Beyond Sushi created by Hell's Kitchen finalist, Executive Chef, Guy Vaknin offers patrons a healthy and unique alternative to traditional sushi that not only has a distinctive aesthetic appeal, but also promotes a natural, vegan diet with no added preservatives. Beyond Sushi's menu boasts a multitude of vibrant and artistic sushi rolls and paper wraps filled with unrefined fruits and vegetables. The sushi rolls are wrapped with black Chinese forbidden rice and a 6 grain rice made from rye berries, two types of barley, brown, red, and black rice. All rolls are topped with customized tofu and veggie purée sauces to include jalapeño-wasabi, toasted-cayenne, carrot-ginger, shiitake-teriyaki, mango-chili, and white-miso. The Beyond Sushi concept was born after Chef Guy saw a missing link in the health food industry. He wanted to offer consumers a wholesome, vitamin rich sushi roll, nixing the white rice and added sodium. Guy found that this product is also perfect for pregnant women who cannot eat fish for 9 months and are bored with ordering mundane cucumber avocado rolls with standard white rice and sometimes brown rice. Guy quotes: "Kid's who don't like fish in their sushi can get their servings of fruits and veggies in a tasty way". We offer a variety of vegan items and all rolls made with black rice are gluten free friendly! The Store was constructed using recycled materials from the original, 2 year old building, reflecting an earthy and natural feeling. The Beyond Sushi store portrays an organic shape with a stark white back drop, rustic woods, and accents of avocado green throughout the space. Pendant lighting gives off a warm and welcoming vibe while the raw concrete flooring and exposed brick wall modernize the space. Thank you to Atal Group for cultivating this chic design!
