Tenon Vegan Sushi

What is Tenon Vegan Sushi? Anchoring Bloor Street West just steps east of Lee's Palace in the Annex, Tenon Vegan Sushi is the downtown sibling of Markham’s longtime plant-based Japanese pioneer founded by Tony Huang and Yan Chen. The dining room is straightforward and casual, fitted with modest wooden tables, cozy perimeter booths, and a compact sushi counter at the back. It delivers a full sit-down Japanese sushi experience where every single roll, nigiri piece, and hot kitchen plate is 100% plant-based.

Tenon Vegan Sushi Menu & What to Order The sprawling menu reimagines traditional sushi bar staples using seasoned soy and konjac substitutes alongside vegetable-forward constructions. The Red Dragon Roll—layered with soy crab, tempura shrimp, and tender mock salmon—and the sauce-drizzled Sweet Potato Special Roll are perennial favorites, as is the crisp-bottomed vegan Sushi Pizza. For hot fare, the wok-seared Soy Beef Yaki Udon and the crisp House Special Duck deliver serious savoury depth, pairing naturally with a pot of hot green tea.

Know Before You Go Seating inside is relatively tight, so expect short walk-in waits during peak weekend dinner rushes before concerts at nearby music venues, though tables turn over briskly. The restaurant sits a short two-minute stroll from Bathurst subway station, making transit far easier than finding street parking along Bloor. Operating continuously from late morning through late evening every day, it remains one of the most reliable plant-based Japanese options in the core.
