Viriditas Cocina Vegan sushi restaurant — Restaurant in Oaxaca

A very serene little vegan Japanese restaurant owned by a Japanese family living in Oaxaca. Great flavors and something different to try when exploring outside of traditional Oaxaca cuisine. The food had both Asian and Mexican flavor profiles. The menu del dia (soup, main, dessert, juice) was light but the perfect portion for me on a hot summer day.

Update: have found myself coming here every other day while in Oaxaca. This restaurant has been a little oasis for me.

The owners are a kind Japanese couple with three kids you’ll often see there. I always appreciate all the servers’ attentiveness. Sometimes I also order one of their vegan cakes in advance for special occasions like birthdays or...
