New York's Beyond Sushi: A Completely Different Type Of Sushi
Midtown Manhattan, especially near Penn Station and Times Square, may not be the first area of the city that comes to the minds of New Yorkers to enjoy a memorable meal. However, there are hidden gems, including Beyond Sushi on West 37th Street, which will surprise anyone. For the discerning sushi eater, this restaurant offers an alternative that is just as healthy and even more flavorful than a typical sushi eatery.
Beyond Sushi forgoes the use of fish and other seafood to use plant-based and health conscious ingredients that highlight the flavors of the season. The Herald Square outpost is the third location in Manhattan and offers a full dine-in experience unlike their Union Square, Chelsea Market and Midtown West locations. Blending together vegetables and fruits, the chef offers more than sushi rolls, including salads, wraps and delectable healthy desserts.
As people step into the expansive restaurant, they will see a fusion of rustic and industrial features. From the wooden slots on the wall to the loft ceilings and plants throughout the space, diners find a serene escape from the hectic city life.
With one glance at the menu, it might be hard to decide what to order, but diners can discover their signature rolls separates Beyond Sushi from other restaurants. One of the must try rolls is the Mighty Mushroom, which is packed with enoki mushrooms, baked tofu, braised shiitake, arugula and topped with a shiitake truffle sauce. This rolls perfectly fuses together the earthiness of the mushrooms and the crispy baked tofu. For people looking for a little spice, they can try the Spicy Mang with black rice, avocado, mango, English cucumber and topped with spicy veggies and toasted cayenne sauce.
Besides the rolls, people can choose from four types of dumplings stuffed with various vegetables, including the mushrooms. The Fun Guy Dumplings are filled with braised porcini, shiitake and portabella mushrooms with tofu and spinach. Topped with a spicy bean and truffle sauce, the dumplings will become a favorite among diners. There is also a wide selection of sakes and health conscious cocktails to complement their vegan dishes.
Those two hearty rolls and dumplings are enough to satisfies anyone's hunger, but this location exclusively offers mouthwatering desserts to complete a lunch or dinner. Within one bite of Espresso Pound Cake the flavors of chocolate, whipped coconut cream, caramel and caramelized kumquats blend together to create an unforgettable sweet treat.
Beyond Sushi opens a door for diners into a world of vegan sushi that will have people coming back for more and trying all of their dishes.
