For this edition of our Meatless Monday series, we’re going Japanese. Here’s where to find the best vegan and vegetarian sushi in Bangkok.
Welcome to our Meatless Monday series. In this bi-weekly column of ours, we spotlight vegetarian and/or vegan dishes available in the capital city. Herbivores, we intend to keep you updated with all the plant-based offerings in town. Omnivores, we encourage you to go meatless at least once a week — especially on Mondays, if you don’t already.
Whilst it’s important to take care of yourself, it’s equally important to take care of the planet. Hence, Meatless Monday. For this edition, it’s the world-famous Japanese dish with an added vegan/vegetarian twist. We love the way they roll (pun intended), and we believe you will, too. Here’s where to find the best vegan and vegetarian sushi in Bangkok.

When you think of good vegan food in Bangkok, Vistro always tops the list. The flavour-forward and globally-inspired vegan bistro never seizes to impress with their varied selection. From plant-based dumplings and samosas, to burrito bowls and street noodles – their vegan options are endless. If you’re one for sushi rolls, opt for the ‘Vistro Sushi,’ a vegan version of the widely-loved rolls. They also have other Japanese dishes such as the ‘Vagyu Sando’ and ‘Katsu Curry.’

One thing is for sure: you won’t run out of vegan sushi options at this newly-opened plant-based sushi bar. Although their menu is not exactly vegan but rather vegetarian, diners can request for every dish to be made vegan. Waki Waki will add a vegan twist to their impressive array of veggie sushi with their vegan mayo and vegan cream cheese especially. If sushi rolls aren’t really your thing, fret not, they’ve got all kinds of plant-based Japanese dishes diners can choose from.

Known and loved for their rolls, Masu Maki serves mouthwatering non-vegetarian and vegetarian sushi. They’ve got a whole ‘Veggie Maki’ menu dedicated to vegetarian sushi.
