The Best Sushi On The Eastside And Downtown - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Shojin is a modern sushi restaurant in Little Tokyo that doesn’t actually serve fish. This upscale spot on the top floor of a shopping mall is a completely vegan restaurant which means rolls hit the table stuffed with spicy tofu and mushrooms instead of yellowtail and toro. If that sounds unappealing, hear us out. The rolls at Shojin are actually quite good and filling, and even if you aren’t a meat-eater, you should come here just to see what inventive and well-executed vegan food looks like. The quiet, dimly-lit dining room also makes for a great left-of-center date situation." - brant cox, brett keating
