Some of the best food I’ve eaten - Edit
We loved it so much we came back twice in the four days we were in San Fran. Absolutely gorgeous food in a love environment. Everything is fresh, tasty and well-seasoned. I don’t think I could even pick a favourite dish, every one was a winner!

Best sushi in the city! - Edit
I always bring non-vegans to this restaurant to impress them. Flavors are fantastic! I HIGHLY recommend getting the kaarage, it’s my favorite thing other than the specialty rolls! Make your reservation in advance. Decent street parking available, also a parking lot nearby for $20.

Delicious! - Edit
I had high hopes for our dinner here and it certainly didn't disappoint. We picked eight dishes out of the huge menu and enjoyed every single one of them. Those mushroom-based ones were our faves. The specialty rolls are really where it's at. They're beautifully presented and the flavor combinations are complex and innovative. If you feel like something different, I'd recommend the spicy garlic miso ramen. Now they just need to work on a dessert menu!

My fav vegan sushi place (ever) - Edit
We always make a point of visiting Shizen when we're in SF! I haven't found better vegan sushis yet -- and we've looked for it. Not all rolls are equally amazing, but everything's good. The cocktails are worth trying too :)

Yum!!!!! - Edit
The ramen was bursting with flavor! There was some mock meat in there and I'm not sure what it was supposed to be but wow, it was delish! Also, although the avocado nigiri was basic, it was still delicious (there was this beet sause on top), main con is lack of dining in options, reservations fill up 3-4 weeks in advance 😳

Unforgettable vegan sushi! - Edit
If you are in the Bay Area and you love sushi, this place should be on your list! They have so many nice sushi rolls, with many vegan sauces to go along with it! All of the sushi was nicely decorated, so you can tell the chef values having his dishes come out looking the best he can. If you like taking photos of your good, all the dishes are Instagramable.
Read moreWe had to make a reservation in advance cause this place tends to get crowded, especially on the weekends. The service was excellent and we couldn’t be happier!
Totally recommend to vegan lovers out there!

Worth the hype & the $$$ - Edit
You guys…. This place has me second guessing every other 5-star rating I have ever given. Shizen has raised the bar for vegan food and has the best sushi I have ever had. It was so good I was speechless and could not get over it. It’s pricey but so worth it. Do not skip this place while in SF!

Best vegan sushi place! - Edit
This place is by far the best vegan sushi place, and my favorite roll that everyone must try - the body and soul. If you come with a bunch of friends and want to live dangerously make sure to get the surprise endings😉by far the spiciest thing I’ve ever eaten 😂 I was crying!

Above Them All - Edit
I think Maki lends itself to be easy conversion (for veggie or vegan). This place levels up not just Temaki and Nigiri BUT also Izakaya! Worth the hype and advanced reservations!

Distinctive - Edit
Shizen has a distinguished reputation and following for many great reasons. The creativity and attention to detail is just a few reasons. Their food is delicious and the ambience is delightful and it’s a place not to be missed. If you are in the area or not just go you’ll love it, but definitely make a reservation!

Perfect - Edit
The one thing I miss since going vegan is sushi. Needless to say, I was beyond excited when I discovered Shizen. The food did not disappoint! We had some specialty rolls that were out of this world. The combinations of flavors is out of this world and you forget that everything is plant based. Presentation and flavor is on point!

Delicious! - Edit
Food was really delicious and pretty. The sauces in the sushi rolls made soy sauce unnecessary. It is pricey but the quality justifies it. I look forward to eating inside when it reopens (it’s cold in SF).

Good vegan sushi - Edit
We've eaten here twice - once at the restaurant before lockdown and once during lockdown we got takeout. Eating in is definitely preferred, especially for the price. We felt the sushi was so-so when we took it to-go. We've tried mostly all of the rolls on the menu and feel like you cant go wrong with any of them, except maybe the Philly unless you have a hankering for cream cheese.

Cons: Expensive
