Shojin

Good concept, if it was executed well. Overall, I thought the meal was okay but quite overpriced for what you get.

We ordered 3 of their most popular rolls:
- Baked Crab Hand Roll: 1 order only came with 2 rolls so it came out to be $40 for 4 rolls. Truly not worth it for the cost. The hand roll was not bad but had too much vegenaise inside.
- Purple Treasure: Eggplant with miso glaze on top a carrot roll. I liked the flavor of the eggplant the most but thought it was too salty.
- Shojin Dynamite Roll: This is their #1 best seller and I’m struggling to see why. The excessive use of sauces once again perpetuated the feeling of “mushy” while eating.

Service was mediocre, though the ambiance is nice. Shojin has a long way to go to improve their dishes.

We went for the holiday celebration with our family.
Ambience was very warmly and well decorated, perfect for any celebration.
Food was absolutely outstanding and offering unique vegan sushi. We tried Dragon Sushi, Dynamite and crunchy. Flavor was interesting with mix of spicy, hot, colorful and fresh ingredients.
It was a little expensive side and had additional surcharge added to the bill. Definitely a good experience worth trying!

Went on a whim with a vegetarian friend. Every single person on staff we interacted with was incredibly sweet and the ambience was whimsically cozy. We opted for the chef’s special menu, which was several courses for $96. We were absolutely blown away and could not have left happier.

This place rocks!
My sister took my mom and I to this magical restaurant and we were beyond impressed!
The cozy ambiance was a bonus to the scrumptious food being served by sweet attentive staff……
I highly recommend this spot to indulge in deliciousness…..

This was the highlight of our LA visit. I'm really tired of places that advertise as "fine dining" and turn out to be nothing but expensive. This place is NOT one of those. The food is outstanding, the flavors, textures, presentation, every detail is carefully put in place. We also got a fantastic bottle of wine, and the friendliest service we have experienced in the city during this trip. Kind, but authentic. No big show, just real warmth and attention to detail. This will be a place we'll come back to every time we're in town.
