November 13th, 2011 » Wellington: Sushi Bi
Comments Off
It was nearly our last day in Wellington, and my partner picked up some nice vegan-friendly sushi off Woodward Street and it was a small take-away sushi restaurant called, “Sushi Bi.” There was no respective website for Sushi Bi or any menu I can find unfortunately except for public online restaurant reviews such as Menu Mania, but I can only tell you what we’d discovered.
It is cheaper to purchase after 16:00 at 50c each, rather than $1 (NZD), which was a great deal for yummy sushi-to-go snacks! Sometimes lines can be long, so be prepared to show up as quickly as possible! The staff members at Sushi Bi were friendly, so if you are a vegan that can’t eat egg or fish, just tell her that!
Types that I tried were vegan:
- seaweed salad
- pumpkin or squash with lettuce and shredded carrots
- shiitake mushrooms with lettuce and shredded carrots
I also find it fascinating that these vegan-friendly sushi have a lot of veggies in it compared to these boring typical avocado or cucumber makis you will find in the U.S. Thanks a lot, New Zealand, you opened my eyes to trying beautiful sushi! It is also actually very nice that they provided white ginger rather than coloured ginger (pink), but these pink ginger aren’t usually vegan sometimes.
