We came here for our Anniversary dinner. We chose the tasting menu as we are here the first time and want to try a variety. The atmosphere is perfect for romantic celebration. The service is excellent, the waitress keep filling up tead and water for us. The food has very nice presentation to it. My only complaint is the price. Over all it cost twice as much as eating real sushi. The ingredients used in our dish aren't any fancy comparing to the cost. The cost of trying something new and unique I guess.

You don’t have to be Vegan to fall in love with this restaurant!! Phenomenal organic, natural Vegan food! Outstanding service! My Vegan friends have been loyal, repeat customers since the restaurant’s opening about fifteen years ago! As a skeptical meat eater, it took me a while to go along with them for a nice dinner, never dreaming what I had been missing! Each nutrient dense dish is beautifully presented. The flavor and taste is extraordinary. The atmosphere is calm, intimate and peaceful-you feel cared for and special. Eating here with my friends gave me the curiosity to try other Vegan restaurants, but to this day, I have not found any place that tasted better than from this restaurant! You can order alcohol drinks to go with your meal if you desire. The meal will range $35-$100 per person based on the number of dishes you order or whether you add an alcoholic drink. I highly recommend you make reservations as they fill up their seats! Ask to try their Dynamite Roll if it is available—it has been a recipe item of theirs since the beginning! I am so glad I have eaten here and am very excited to give you the encouragement to try it out! This is an optimum place to celebrate a special occasion. Also of note, if you cannot get to the downtown location, they now have a location in Culver City as well!

BEST vegan sushi ever! Walk past the curtain to be transported to a dim lit restaurant in one of Little Tokyo’s iconic plazas. You wouldn’t even expect it to be there. Food is always top notch and the service is right there with it. They’ve gotten rid of the white table cloths but definitely a higher end meal. We always get our classic rolls: Spicy Baked Scallop, Green Forest, Pirates of the Crunchy, Dynamite Roll, and the new Saturday Night Fever. I’ve had other main entrees before but their rolls are what’s top notch. Go to celebrate a special something or someone and don’t worry about the cost because it’s worth every penny.

Beautiful vegan restaurant located on the third floor of a mall, Shojin is famous for its vegan sushi and tasting menus. We tried the holiday tasting menu ($62/person) and it was delicious. Drinks are not included in the tasting menu, nor is dessert. That being said, I wouldn’t skip on either. I just wish the “eggnog” were a little thicker.

Some of the dishes were good. My favorite was the rainbow roll. We ordered about 6 menu items. Service was inline with fine dining. Very nice decor—even in the bathroom. We actually sat next to a famous celebrity when we were there. We listened to him on the way over to the restaurant. As soon as we sat down, he walked in. We made eye contact about 5 times. I didn’t speak to him because he was on a date and I don’t feel comfortable speaking to celebrities while they are on personal business.

Wow. We had the best night here, the atmosphere and the food and the service were all incredible. They validate your parking so definitely park on level 4 in the garage. I love that it's in a mall but then you walk behind the curtain and it feels like you're somewhere else entirely. We did a tasting menu and loved every moment of it. And they had so many thoughtful surprises for our anniversary. Thanks so much!
