Shizen - Menu

Gorgeous vegan food, we tried so many different things and enjoyed every single one. My favourite was the Karaage starter. It's a really popular busy place so be sure to book a table as soon as possible (it looks to book out a week or a few days in advance)

You have to have reservations. It gets busy! We tried out a lot of different things. The karaage, the green mango onigiri and all the rolls were super delicious. The textures definitely make you second guess if there is no meat in it. The service was excellent as well. Will come back for more vegan sushi!

Two years later and I still love it. Please expand and multiply. San Diego Vegan Sushi needs help I will never understand how you're able to make the spicy tofu so similar to actual spicy tuna The candlestick is hands down the #1 best roll. Also make a reservation at 5:00 PM (as soon as they open). You won't have to wait long at all to get seated! View menu

The wait was worth it! To guarantee we could go, had to make a reservation two weeks in advance no regrets! The space is not too big and it was packed, and now I understand the popularity. The sushi we had was fresh, creative, and delicious! Lots of tofu used in different ways (couldn't tell it was tofu if it wasn't written in the menu), mushrooms and algae. Also enjoyed the cocktail.

I'm not vegan, but I really enjoyed this. The use of ingredients is pretty innovative. The texture of the Bean curd in the katsu was tooth some. The eggplant grilled and then marinated and served cold may have been my favorite dish even though it was so simple. The specialty rolls also really blew me away. My only gripe would be the price. You're paying for the art, not the ingredients.

If you are a sushi fan, no matter if you are vegan or not this place is must visit in Bay area! We went to have our Friday night dinner here and it was amazing. Appetizers : Gyoza beautifully flavored and cooked to perfection Rolls: Surprise ending it’s a fun dish especially for spice lovers, Spicy Tofuna roll , Proud Peacock.

I thought it was…fine? After all the hype I was a little underwhelmed. We ordered some less popular menu items and, while I loved the drinks and the ambiance, and the service was fantastic, the food itself was just kind of…okay. No standout flavours, nothing memorable. I was a little disappointed to have spent $100 on a pretty okay dinner, honestly. I can see why vegan sushi is novel and exciting, and I like a lot of the concepts, but I don’t know that I’d go through all the trouble of securing a Saturday night reservation for this again.

What a stellar place for a vegan or vegetarian sushi lover! I could finally eat all the pretty things that my raw fish loving friends could, but only better. We had two specialty rolls the proud peacock was so creative and tasty (mango and roasted peppers especially). Boddy and soul has my heart though. The tempura roll concept is SO creative! And the spicy aioli is the best I’ve had so much better than the spicy mayo I’ve had at regular sushi places and poke bowl spots which usually make me nauseous. Also, I was visiting from Toronto so to anyone listening please bring this up north!!!

We got the boddy and soul roll and the open invitation roll and it was worth the hype and more-! Now onto the full review: The boddy and soul roll (the one with the red topping) was spicy, creamy, and crunchy, like a spicy tuna roll (although it doesn’t taste like meat) and overall heavy packed with flavor. The open invitation roll (with the dried chip on top) was lighter and had sweetness from the sweet potato. To be clear, neither of them tasted exactly like meat and it wasn’t the point of the roll. My personal favorite was the boddy and soul, although both were great. Service was okay, and the ambiance was nice. It was a small spot. We walked for 2 in on Saturday night and waited 1 hour,...
