Beyond Sushi

The Green Roll

News - Articles

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 puree sauces to include jalapeno-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, invigorating and scrumptious, 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 friendly!

The store was constructed using recycled materials from the original, 200 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.
