"For those who eat fish, vegan sushi might sound as exciting as cheeseless Cheetos. But at Shojin—a vegan Japanese restaurant with locations in DTLA and Culver City— the veggie-only menu works, mostly because they don’t try to trick you into thinking your vegan baked scallop roll is actually a scallop. We like to order multiple rounds of mushroom and tofu-centric rolls, all of which remind us that great vegan food doesn't require fried fake meats." - Nikko Duren, Garrett Snyder, Sylvio Martins
