My Vegan Panda x Naughty Boy Sushi

On their menu, there are about 10 different, extravagant sushi rolls. This includes their Naruto Roll, Fried Wizard King, Basic Cali Roll, Charmander Roll, and more.

They make their “Sushi Lover” sets, which each come with about four or five different sushi rolls, along with homemade pickled ginger.
