Shojin

I ordered The Best special. I was really impressed with the ambiance inside and the warm reception when I picked up the order. That being said, this was the most overpriced vegan sushi I have had, and it was mediocre at best. I’ve eaten vegan sushi in Montreal, Seattle, NYC, and other major cities in North America. I even have reviews for some of those places. Given the prices, I was expecting more flavor. I didn’t even like the sauces or the pickled veggies! I’ll try anything once, but that’s the only time I will eat from here.

Reservation experience: I had made a reservation on Yelp about a week or so in advance. Location: Unassuming restaurant front. We would street parking a block away. Ambience: What a gorgeous patio. If you can, try to get seated there. Food: We tried the Chef’s tasting menu for which I was quite excited. As a vegetarian, it’s usually hard for me to do a tasting menu pretty much anywhere. The tasting menu is good portion size for two people. I loved the baked crab cake hand roll- both texture and taste. Black evolution salad may be the only salad I have completely gobbled down (I’m not a salad fan, typically). The truffle maitake and tempura was also great. Overall, absolutely amazing. Wait staff: Friendly wait staff who provided us with good directions. Value for money: The tasting menu is priced at $88. I would happily pay that for the quality and variety of food.

I am so disappointed I was so eager to try this restaurant. I went in and I wanted to sample different dishes and I was extremely hungry. So I ordered the sampler special even though they say it's for 2 people I was hungry enough to eat it all. It was a whooping $88 but all I didn't get everything on the sampler list and some dishes where I was supposed to get 4 pieces I only got 2 pieces. I left there feeling hungry still after paying $114 ($104 plus the tip) I tipped only 10% because the service was nice but I felt cheated on. Never again. Plus the food is just ok, Not that great. The photos of what I ordered and what I got are attached.

This vegan Japanese restaurant was a good experience. It was moderately busy on a Saturday night but there were reservation slots still open for dinnertime. I would recommend ordering a few plates between the group and sharing. The sushi with eggplant on top was the best in my opinion - the eggplant was hot but it almost melted in your mouth and gave a good contrast to the cool pieces of vegetables in the sushi. Every item was plated very well and gave the impression that it was more than just food. They do not give you any soy sauce, unless you ask, but you don't need it because everything was flavored very well.
