Vegan Castle

It's absolutely the best vegan sushi in LA.You must try it. If you don't like spicy food, Tony can make it nonspicy at all; just ask for it.Delicious, healthy, big portion, all vegan.

It took a while for Vegan Castle to win me over, but I'm glad it did!My very first experience was back in 2021, within their first year of business. In short, I really enjoyed what I ordered. I had one of the deep-fried rolls, a Red Dragon Roll, and a Crispy Fish Taco. I was just frustrated that it took nearly 75 minutes to get my food.Flash forward to early November 2024. I'm in the neighborhood and decided to place a to-go order. But opted not to when we learned that it would take an hour. At least this time my expectations were managed.I was in the neighborhood again a few weeks later and decided to swing by, place my order, then come back an hour later. I was a bit delayed coming back and arrived closer to 90 minutes later and my order was ready and waiting! I took it home and this Scooby Doo Roll was better than expected! It's filled with tempura shrimp, cream cheese, and jalapeño. It's topped with avocado, spicy mayo, chili garlic, and green onion. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/vegan-castle-long-beach?select=9XLA5cE6-O6T80bi6MoZpwThen in December 2024, I was in the neighborhood once again and popped over for another roll. I asked the guy what time it would be ready and to my surprise, he said 10-15 mins! I think I found the best pocket of time because my Spider Roll was ready as expected and it was super yummy! It's made with tempura enoki mushrooms, greens, carrot, cucumber, and avocado. It's topped with spicy mayo, unagi sauce, and green onion. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/vegan-castle-long-beach?select=jZX984N44Z1XUL5zs62AfgWhile I was eating, I had some great conversations with the guy about his restaurant. On my last two visits, he was the only one working! It really made me appreciate all that goes into being a small business owner. Much respect for being a rare vegan gem in the west side of Long Beach.

Loved the Volcano and the Spider Roll! Those are must-gets, just trust. They are both pretty big rolls. The red dragon roll was solid. The rainbow roll was beautiful but wished it had more crunch to it and not sure how I feel about banana being one of the toppings. The ocean roll was okay. Also wished it had more of a bite or crunch to it, but that's just my personal preference.We came on a Saturday afternoon and there was just one guy working the entire place so we had a wait a lil bit for all of our rolls to arrive on the table but he did a great job at making sure everyone had at least something on the table to munch on while he prepped the rest of the orders.Plenty of street parking!

What a Gem this is for Long Beach. Hands down the best vegan sushi I've ever had. Small but cute spot right off a main road. Chill ambiance inside, nothing too fancy nor too loud. Great to take my family of 3 kids. Now when it comes to the service and food that's why I keep coming back. The service is top notch. The owner does everything himself, he's super man in the kitchen. So yes there will be a little bit of a wait keep that in mind but grab your water and just relax knowing there's lots of love going into the order. Every roll on the menu is so unique, colorful, some with unique sauces and all with flavors exploding in your mouth (pause ). My favorites are the dragon roll, miso soup, ocean roll but I've tried most of the menu and enjoyed all but the sweet banana one. I just can't do the sweetness tbh lolIf you're looking for a great lunch or a date out highly recommend coming here. If you don't like the wait then order at least 20 minutes ahead by phone!

I don't know who gave this guy the right to be so talented but holy smokes this place is good. The rolls are so flavorful and textured, and the presentation is always beautiful, especially when you dine in. This is my favorite place to bring non-vegans because they're always so impressed. My vegan-skeptical dad keeps asking when we're going back and my ex tells me he still thinks about this place. Plus the prices are affordable and the owner-operator is so nice. It can take a while to get the food because he's a one-man show but it's worth it!

Was in the area decided to stop by let me tell you a great decision staff was friendly. The food took a min to come out there was a couple of people ahead of us but well worth it we had the wait. We loved the Santa Fe and the Scooby will deff be back.

Food is very tasty. It's a small operation but the service is good and personal. The place is a good size family ambience. Would be coming back soon

My girlfriend and I loove this place! Best vegan sushi I've ever had! My girlfriends vegan and I'm a flexitarian so I'm a little more picky with vegan sushi because I still eat regular sushi every now and then. However this place seriously has the best vegan sushi! It's a must try! It can take quite awhile for you to get your food at times but that's because the owner is doing everything. Super nice guy and really puts his heart and soul into his food. It's definitely worth the wait though! I'd say come patient and give a big tip. All the vegan spots are struggling in the area and I'd hate to see another amazing vegan spot go under. We have to help support this place as much as possible! A food gem

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING the food choices, the flavor, the presentation and the Chef's personality just amazing. I ordered on Uber Eats and I've been hooked ever since. it was my first time ordering Vegan sushi and I won't eat it any other way. Make your way over and you won't regret it for either dining in or take out.

Absolutely loved the sushi. Went there with our friends. Sushis are delicious. Presentation was great and rolls were huge. Will definitely go back. #Veganuary
