I am not from LA but have family here that o usually visit once a year for my grandfathers birthday. I have celiac so need to eat gluten free. We discovered this restaurant a few years ago and now have gone back every year. The staff here remember us every year and are so kind and wonderful. They always bring out a dessert with candle and sing happy birthday to my grandfather. The food is delicious and 100% gluten free and vegan. We love this place!

Shojin is incredible! The space is really beautiful, with very intimate 2-seater tables in the back room perfect for a date night or special night out. Service was amazing, complete with hand towels before the first appetizer and great descriptions/explanations of every dish as they’re being brought out. The food is thoughtful and everything is vegan and gluten free and made in house. They also don’t use normal sugar.
We tried the shojin green gyoza, lion’s mane karaage, Shoj-in-n-out hand roll, purple treasure 5.0, and the harvest curry ramen. Everything was delicious. The ramen was a great portion size. We got share plates and split it. The hand roll was a cool experience because it comes unrolled and you roll it yourself. The purple treasure 5.0 is an eggplant roll and the eggplant pieces on top were intense, way bigger than I was expecting and so juicy. Also a lot of the rolls have “torched at the table” written next to them on the menu. When they bring them to the table they fire it right in front of you and it’s really cool to see.
We tried the dessert that comes with miso cookies, black sesame ice cream, and matcha chocolate truffles- this combo of flavors was excellent and surprising. I had never tried miso cookies before and they were so good.
For drinks we tried the golden hour mind, which is a functional zero proof cocktail, and the orange yuzunade, which was my favorite and is like an orange juice mixed with lemonade and yuzu. I don’t drink alcohol so it was exciting to see so many thoughtful non-alcoholic drinks on the menu.
It was a little pricey, but the food was amazing and the vibes were so nice and the service was fantastic, plus you can really tell the menu is crafted very intentionally. I’d say it is worth the price and then some. I’d love to come back and try an omakase sometime, and if I lived in the area I’d come around every season to try the seasonal items.

Vegan Japanese restaurant. All their items are vegan friendly. They offer tasting options omakase which is perfect to enjoy a little bit of everything. Their crispy rice sushi is a must try. Definitely coming back to try other items and for the black sesame ice cream

This place can be a solid option for good vegan dining out. All the items on the menu are very creative and delicious. Totally enjoyable for non-vegan people too. Loved their concept of a healthy clean meal with good ingredients. Portion sizes are a bit small but lots of appetizers that order and share for the table. Will definitely revisit again!

I’ve completely fallen in love with their Nigiri. Every single piece looks like a work of art. They are not just beautiful and delicious. They are truly out of this world.

We did the Chef’s Omakase at Shojin and it was such a memorable dining experience. Every course felt carefully crafted and beautifully presented. The Truffle Maitake Miso Soup was rich and comforting. The Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts and Stuffed Shiitake Mushrooms were flavorful and perfectly balanced.
The Spicy “Tuna” on Crispy Rice and the Baked “Crab Cake” Hand Roll really stood out. The sushi plate, especially the Truffle California Roll and Dynamite Roll, showed how creative and refined plant based cuisine can be.
I also ordered two zero proof cocktails and added NAD to both. The Golden Hour Mind and Smokey Cherry Margarita were refreshing and well balanced. I love that they offer functional additions like NAD. It made the night feel unique and wellness focused.
The ambiance is serene and intimate, and the service was attentive and informative. Shojin delivers an elevated omakase experience that feels thoughtful from start to finish. Highly recommend.

My wife and I first visited this restaurant seven years ago, and we decided to return because we had such a memorable experience. This time, we tried the Shojin November tasting menu (a 10-course offering), and it did not disappoint. The menu was incredibly creative, featuring a delightful variety of dishes and flavors.
Two standout dishes for us were the button mushroom and the tempura banana with chocolate mousse—both absolutely blew our minds! The service was warm and attentive, and the staff went the extra mile by taking a photo for us and even arranging a small birthday celebration.
Overall, this is a wonderful, upscale restaurant that’s perfect for special occasions. We highly recommend stopping by if you’re looking for a place to celebrate or enjoy an exceptional dining experience.

This is a wonderful gem on Washington! The food was delicious! We had appetizers, main course and dessert! Everything tasted fresh and original. The ambiance was relaxed and romantic with beautiful art on the walls. The service staff made you feel like you were the only person in the room with them paying attention to ensure your meal and their service was top notch.

Amazing! It was my first time dining here and came after being recommended from a few people. Service was perfect. We got the omakase and everything was so well thought out and delicious. The timing of every course was perfect and well presented. It felt like a fine dining experience, but with more warmth. Not stuffy or uncomfortable in any way. I appreciate that they even went above expectations for my friends birthday that we were celebrating.
