Los Angeles's Best Restaurants that are most frequently booked by customers of Shojin Los Angeles
😍 5/5 - Vegan and Gluten Free and Wonderfully Japanese

Most of my experience with vegan restaurants has been little vegan cafes with muffins and veggie sandwiches topped with cashew cheese. So actually, it's rare that I have found a place that has Vegan and Gluten Free put together, and even rarer that a vegan restaurant can make you feel immersed in a culinary experience. Shojin blew me away. This location is in Little Tokyo on the third floor of a shopping galleria where there are several restaurants, but I highly recommend making a reservation. The entrance is hung with a blanket behind the person currently checking vaccination cards and reservation times, giving it the feel of a speakeasy.
Inside, the ambiance is soft and artsy - during the holidays when we were there, the music was jazz for the season.
The biggest and nicest surprise was that whereas the menu may mention words like "tuna" or "shrimp" (we avoid shellfish) the dishes are actually vegan, all flavored to taste like those kinds of sushi. For example, mushrooms are made to taste like mussels, tofu like shrimp, tapioca like fish roe. Also, the cocktails are all made with sake - for instance they had a warm vegan egg-nog spiked with a sake that was reminiscent of rum. That they had a rum-reminiscent sake was no surprise as the sake menu is very impressive.
We ordered the seasonal taster special: one price for two people, which had dishes like pumpkin croquettes, brazed Brussels sprout, and eggplant sushi as part of the ten or so offerings that included a delightful amount of gluten free tempura crunchiness. We also ordered some "sushi" rolls and an amazing green matcha tea cake with an in-house made vegan coconut banana Ice cream.
I would say this is comfortably an $80/person experience or more, depending on what drinks are ordered.
By the way, after paying the bill, we left something at the table, and our server chased us down through the mall to bring it back to us. I mention this because it typifies the care and dedication of the wait staff. They kept our water full, offered to customize anything we wanted, and made it an amazing experience. A must try in LA.
