About Vegan Yes
On Brick Lane, Vegan Yes serves vegan dishes that blend Italian and Korean fusion themes, with the kimchi sushi burger appearing as a recurring plate. The kitchen builds much of the menu around kimchi, and diners are invited to taste and choose their own variety before ordering. Pasta dishes include kimchi pasta and kimchi lasagne, while the lunch menu covers a salad alongside the sushi burgers. Desserts run to chocolate mochi and chocolate onigiri, a rice cream preparation, and home-made kombucha is poured alongside the food. Dogs are welcome inside. A recipe book covering the kitchen's approach is available for purchase at the counter.

Customer Review Summary
The kimchi sushi burger draws the most repeated praise, described by multiple reviewers as an unexpected combination that works, with several calling it incredible. Close behind, desserts stand out consistently, especially the chocolate onigiri and chocolate mochi, with one reviewer calling the mochi the best they'd ever had. Reviewers also highlight the kimchi pasta, kimchi lasagne, and the lunch sushi burger and salad as affordable standouts, plus the practice of tasting different homemade kimchis and kombuchas before choosing. The Italian and Korean owners are repeatedly noted for greeting guests personally, offering recommendations, and letting diners sample flavors without commitment. Several reviewers describe buying kimchi batches or a recipe book to take home, and one recounts the owner signing it for them. No recurring complaints appear across these accounts; the reviews are uniformly positive about the fusion concept, the homemade dishes, and the welcome received on arrival.

“Absolutely amazing!💛💚 The concept of the restaurant (Italo-Korean vegan food with a Kimchi-themed menu) and the food are super original and really, really good! The owners of the restaurant, a Italo-Korean couple, are adorable and super friendly, and they will make you try their different kimchis, the home-made kombuchas, and give you recommendations based on your taste. Even though everything looks delicious and you’ll want to try everything, leave some space for desert because the mochi and the chocolate onigiri are out of this world!!💫”

“We bumped into this cute restaurant while walking in the area and were intrigued by the unique Italian-Korean fusion. Mauro, the owner immediately greeted us and let us try some of their famous kimchi without any commitment. It was so tasty that we had to come back and buy a big batch to take home. Very well done to the owner for being so friendly and keeping such a nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back to try more.”

“Brilliant restaurant! A great welcome from the Italian chef. The fusion with South Korean cuisine is well done in the dishes, and everything is carefully presented before you order. The lunch salad and the lunch sushi burgers were excellent, and affordable as well. Excellent place, thanks a lot!”

They make effort to explain the dishes, their kimchi variety and indeed, the food is delicious and prepared with so much care that you feel the loving energy for creating hearty, delicious food.
