Shizen Vegan Sushi Bar and Izakaya San Francisco Reviews
Shizen was one of my favorite and unique dining experiences
Shizen was one of my favorite and unique dining experiences in San Francisco. It is a fully vegan sushi restaurant with apps in addition to the sushi roll options. I loved the signature rolls, it was hard to pick a favorite but the Boddy And Soul is
Happy to see a separate allium free menu for us to order
Happy to see a separate allium free menu for us to order from to avoid food contamination. Like the miso soup with mushrooms, and the green lime sauce on green mango sushi. The beet roll is my favorite. Servers are friendly and helpful.
This is my go-to spot for sushi that never disappoints.
Every visit leaves me feeling perfectly satisfied. I've made my way through most of their specialty rolls, and each one is a masterpiece--beautifully balanced and expertly crafted. The atmosphere is wonderfully welcoming, and the sushi chefs ar

The host was rude and made us feel unwelcome while seating us and taking the first order.
I came here with my wife and our 2-year-old daughter.
She was having a bit of a hard time settling in at first, and a white-bearded waiter who wasn't even serving us walked by and told us to "shut her up," making rude gestures. I asked to speak to him, but the manager came instead and def

The vegan fish replacements are fine, the ambiance and the service is great! Liked the tofuna roll and a special roll called body and soul, they both came with the same tofuna, if I had known I would have taken something else
This place is so special.
Food is amazing, super fun presentation and concept. One our favorite places on mission district! Hard to get in unless you have reservation. Great team!

Love this place!!! The staff are so nice and the food is to live for. I come so often that they've started recognizing me and my friends. Love that they are so close to the BART station as well.

The food here never misses, however service was lacking at my last visit. We made a reservation and watched ~15 people get seated before us so we weren't seated until 30 minutes after our reservation. The restaurant was busy as always, but once
In my book Shizen is a solid 3 star restaurant.
It has good vibes, it's not overly loud where you can't hold a conversation, our server was very friendly and bubbly, and the food was okay. There wasn't a single dish where I was blown away, so I likely won't be returning for the

Such a hot spot for a reason! It's an all-vegan menu that's DELICIOUS. My vegan partner was overwhelmed by choice. We got tea (small), shishito peppers (ok), green mango nigiri (amazing), three speciality rolls (yummm), and dessert (would

We had a really disappointing experience.
Our toddler was having a hard time adjusting when a bearded server, who wasn't even serving our table, rudely told us to "shut her up" and made gestures like covering his ears and pointing at us. It was extremely disrespectful. The ge

Inventive cuisine, fresh and bursting with flavors unlike any place we have eaten anywhere in the world. One of our favorite restaurants in the world. Seriously. Sushi only. Do not bother with anything else.

The food is art and the vibe is vibrant. It is our go to favorite restaurant in SF.

Yum! so nice to have such a varied selection of vegan sushi.
Am usually stuck with avocado or cucumber rolls. Service was excellent and the restaurant is very beautiful.
Vegan sushi is so incredibly fun to try as they are
Vegan sushi is so incredibly fun to try as they are inventive and using ingredients in ways that make the texture and taste stand out. We enjoyed it! Service was great! Unfortunately it was difficult to remember what we got.
This is one of those restaurants everyone has to try once.
Vegan sushi, better than most traditional sushi. Hats off to the chefs.

Went to Shizen last night and honestly, it lives up to the hype. The vegan sushi is not just "good for vegan" , it's just really good sushi. The textures and flavor combos are creative without trying too hard. We tried so many rolls an

everything was amazing, don't let the absence of fish deter you. waiter was very friendly and warm. the boddy and soul roll somehow tastes like toasted marshmallow.
service was very nice but sushi was a little underwhelming.

I did not attend this appointment, and there was no information provided about a cancellation fee. I was unexpectedly charged $40. Due to a medical emergency, I was unable to be there. It is disappointing that the $40 fee was not mentioned anywhere--

this is by far one of my absolute favorite vegan restaurants i've ever been to, PERIOD. the kaarage, katsu, garlic edamame, the boddy and soul, candlestick, secret weapon, and open invitation etc etc are all so good i've come back for third

Great amazing food Finally quality vegan sushi .
A small place, yet the food was amazing . The staff were very helpful and kind. A casual atmosphere but buzzing place and busy .
For vegans and vegan wannabes.
Make a reservation now, both for your vegan and non-vegan friends. It's all vegan and all good. We tried a range of sushi and added in some brussels sprouts, gyoza, and tempura for a little extra variety and loved all of it. Not too spicy (there

Best vegan sushi ever if you can snag a reservation! Upon arrival the entry way was packed with people hoping for walk-in seating. Although we had reservations we did have to wait 10ish minutes to be seated. We ordered the Hidden Agenda, Second Act,
My go to place- whether I'm by my self or with friends.
Best Agedashi tofu I've ever tasted and my fav roll is Hidden agenda. Their noodle based dishes are not so great but I don't judge them by that since it's a sushi place! They always have bar seating available for 1/2 people which I'm grateful for.
Excellent vegetarian options! Cool ambience.
Usually fast service, but they are so busy that it is understandable sometimes they are late
12/10 service and food! Such a unique take on veggie sushi
12/10 service and food! Such a unique take on veggie sushi and using so much ingredients. Super hard to get a reservation but we waited for the bar seats for four and was totally worth it! Would prefer a normal table next time.

Yes yes yes! Love the creativity at shizen, I would recommend this spot to everyone and not just vegetarians and vegans. I really love the pumpkin roll that we got and the concept of surprise ending could be a fun roll to enjoy with your friends. B

This place is a vegetarian's dream! FOOD I have tried their Boddy & Soul roll, Surprise Ending roll and Second Act roll. All 3 were absolutely delicious, but I personally liked the Second Act better than the rest. Boddy and Soul is a deep fried
Food was fantastic, personally recommend the glazed
Food was fantastic, personally recommend the glazed eggplant nigiri and the "missing piece" special roll. The restaurant gets really busy and reservations fill quickly so make sure to book a week out if you have a specific time you want.
Very very good.
Way better than you'd expect being that it's all vegan... usually vegan food is lacking in flavor. But this place does it right .. it's almost fancy
The best sushi - it is vegan but you wouldn't know it!
Shizen is a brilliant vegan sushi bar. I am not vegan, but this food could convert me! The food is fantastic - flavoursome and varied. So clever
DELICIOUS! Every single item ordered was spot on! Cocktails
DELICIOUS! Every single item ordered was spot on! Cocktails were good. Only downside is the limited seating time and seemed a bit rushed.
Love love love love! The best vegan sushi ever.
How can every bite be so so flavorful. The wait times aren't justified though. Also would like it if they are open for lunch. Only dinner is sometimes hard to go into the city just for dinner
Susanna gave me great service, while doing ultrasound.
She accepted me a like family member. I felt myself as a like home.

We walked in here on a week night about 830pm and it was popping!! We luckily got 3 spots at the bar and were welcomed in. I've been wanting to try this place for YEARS now and it was definitely worth the hype & wait. We were all obsessed. Every

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Shizen Vegan Sushi Bar and Izakaya San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Shizen Vegan Sushi Bar and Izakaya San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Shizen Vegan Sushi Bar and Izakaya San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Shizen Vegan Sushi Bar and Izakaya San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
