I give this place 3.5/5, and had a hard time deciding whether to round down to 3 or round up to 4. Ultimately, because vegan sushi places are so rare, and because the workers (owners?) seemed so vested, I'll round up to 4.
My partner and I were traveling for a week in Denver, and met friends for dinner here. We've had vegan sushi in LA and Seattle, and Wellness unfortunately just doesn't measure up flavor-wise.
The big problem is that, to my taste buds, all the rolls just taste too similar. I couldn't pick up the individual flavor notes in the various rolls we tried. I think the problem is that too much sauce is used, which drowns out some of the more delicate flavors.
I will give credit for the unique onigiri. We did the classic -- spam and tamago. Can't say it was something I would order again, but I'm glad I tried it just to say I've had one.
This is a fast casual kind of place, where you order at the counter, take a number, and then the food is brought out to you -- but with a twist. You order at a kiosk. I preferred this over placing the order with an order taker, since it's easier to go through all the options on the screen. There is only one kiosk, though, and I question how long the line would be when the place is busy.
Food was brought out a tad slower than I was expecting, but within a reasonable amount of time.
The place is not overly large. When we were heading over Google was saying that it was "busier than usual," and I was nervous we weren't going to be able to get a seat (and this was on a Wednesday evening!). However, our friends were running late, so we ended up not meeting them until closer to 7, and the place was only about half-full at that time.
Would I go back? I would; it's good. Would I make it a point to go back? No, I wouldn't; it's not great.
