10 Great Asian-Owned Vegan-Friendly Restaurants In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Shojin has two locations in my favorite parts of Los Angeles, Culver City, and Little Tokyo in Downtown Los Angeles. Tsuguhiro Morishima is Japanese and the owner of the vegan, gluten-free, macrobiotic restaurant that’s most well known for its inventive sushi rolls, tempura, spicy tuna on crispy rice, and stuffed shiitake mushrooms. Crystal orders their spicy baked scallop roll and Shojin dynamite roll, which I would have to counter with the Pirates of the Crunchy roll mainly because I’m a sucker for crispy crunchy tempura flakes. While we’re on the topic of tempura, I would also order the tempura banana and chocolate mousse cake to finish off the meal." - esther cho, with warm welcome
