Vegetarian & Veggie Sushi in Leicester: What to Order
Finding good meat-free sushi in Leicester can feel like hard work. A lot of menus treat vegetarians as an afterthought, with one tired cucumber option tucked at the bottom. Sushi City does it differently, with veggie tubes made fresh and sent out on Deliveroo and Uber Eats. Here is what to order and what actually goes in each one.
The veggie options at Sushi City
Two items on the menu are made without meat or fish. The Cucumber Maki is the simple one, crisp cucumber wrapped in seasoned sushi rice, four pieces for £2.99. It is light, clean and a good pick if you want something plain alongside a bigger order.
The Sweet Pumpkin Roll is the veggie showpiece. It uses golden deep-fried pumpkin croquettes with rich tonkatsu sauce, and comes as a tube of four pieces at £7.99 or eight at £11.99. It is warm, a little sweet and far more filling than people expect from a meat-free roll.
Why the tube format suits a veggie order
Push-up sushi stacks your rolls inside a single tube, so you push from the bottom and eat one piece at a time. There is no tray to balance and no chopsticks to fight with. For a veggie order that travels, this matters. Each piece stays in place instead of sliding around, so a Sweet Pumpkin Roll arrives looking the way it left the kitchen rather than squashed into a corner.
Building a meat-free order
If you are ordering just for yourself, an eight-piece Sweet Pumpkin Roll makes a proper meal on its own. Feeding a mixed group where some eat meat and some do not? The tubes keep everything separate, so a veggie tube never touches a chicken or salmon one. Add a Ramune, the Japanese marble soda, in a flavour like lychee or strawberry, and a side of Japanese pickles at £1, and you have a full meal without a scrap of meat or fish.
A note on vegan diets
Vegetarian and vegan are not the same thing, and it pays to check. The Cucumber Maki is built from rice, cucumber and nori, so it is the most plant-based pick on the menu. Other veggie items can include egg or dairy in the preparation, so if you are strictly vegan, check the allergen guide on the site or ask before you order rather than assume.
