    so good. sooooo good! get: pirates of the crunchy, yellow magic orchestra, and super pirates rolls. both the hot and sour ramen and miso ramen were delish, but i think i'd go hot and sour next time.

    Besides the delicious food, Shojin is filled with the little touches that make a great dining experience. The service, baskets to stow your bags, an hourglass to brew your tea.

    Shojin has upped their game. Now not only is it delicious vegan food, it is gluten free as well.

    1 of my favorite vegan spots in L.A. Amazing vegan sushi, it's so beautiful you won't want to eat it you'll just want to stare at it.

    If you are here and you don't order the Dynamite Roll—spicy deliciousness—or the Spicy Baked Scallop Roll—excitingly delivered, you are missing a grand opportunity. Loved this place!

    A lot of the items rated as BEST are extremely heavy...yummy but heavy in sauce. Spicy ramen was good. I would order Pirates of Crunch 2.1 but not with Dynamite Roll (way too rich to eat both).

    The flavors pop of original traditional Japanese fare. One can't help just feeling well looked-after and taken care of in this cozy of a space -- like stumbling upon some secret treasure. Read more

    Don't be fooled by the vial of green liquid in the soap dispenser in top of the bathroom counter- its actually mouthwash! The soap dispenser is mounted in the wall troll
