Sushiholics, let the good times roll
With the growth of the plant-based scene in Thailand, we’re seeing more and more traditionally meat-based dishes going vegan. Not just your burgers or tacos, either, we’re seeing an explosion in vegan sushi too. For everyone obsessed with sushi, we’ve found the best places for delicious vegan sushi in Bangkok. Itadakimasu.
1/5 Golden State Vegan
Golden State Vegan recently won Root The Future’s Plant-Based Food Awards for Best Plant-Based Burger, Best Sushi, and Best Social Media Presence.

2/5 Waki Waki
Although Waki Waki’s menu is vegetarian rather than strictly vegan, their endless sushi options can all be requested in vegan form. With vegan mayo and cream cheese, each roll is delicately handcrafted using the freshest, plant-based ingredients—with a special twist added to every single bite. If you’re planning to visit, we recommend making a reservation due to their limited seating.
