Excelente ambiente, junto con el servicio, la verdad unas
Excelente ambiente, junto con el servicio, la verdad unas de las cosas más bellas que eh conocido. El alimento excelente. El Ambiente super cómodo.
Yum! so nice to have such a varied selection of vegan sushi.
Am usually stuck with avocado or cucumber rolls. Service was excellent and the restaurant is very beautiful.
Vegan sushi is so incredibly fun to try as they are
Vegan sushi is so incredibly fun to try as they are inventive and using ingredients in ways that make the texture and taste stand out. We enjoyed it! Service was great! Unfortunately it was difficult to remember what we got.
This is one of those restaurants everyone has to try once.
Vegan sushi, better than most traditional sushi. Hats off to the chefs.

Went to Shizen last night and honestly, it lives up to the hype. The vegan sushi is not just "good for vegan" , it's just really good sushi. The textures and flavor combos are creative without trying too hard. We tried so many rolls an

everything was amazing, don't let the absence of fish deter you. waiter was very friendly and warm. the boddy and soul roll somehow tastes like toasted marshmallow.
service was very nice but sushi was a little underwhelming.
.. maybe i had high expectations but the taste didn't match up to the hype. the corn was great.

I did not attend this appointment, and there was no information provided about a cancellation fee. I was unexpectedly charged $40. Due to a medical emergency, I was unable to be there. It is disappointing that the $40 fee was not mentioned anywhere--
this is by far one of my absolute favorite vegan
this is by far one of my absolute favorite vegan restaurants i've ever been to, PERIOD. the kaarage, katsu, garlic edamame, the boddy and soul, candlestick, secret weapon, and open invitation etc etc are all so good i've come back for third

My go to place- whether I'm by my self or with friends.
Best Agedashi tofu I've ever tasted and my fav roll is Hidden agenda. Their noodle based dishes are not so great but I don't judge them by that since it's a sushi place! They always have bar seating available for 1/2 people which I'm grateful for.

Best vegan sushi ever if you can snag a reservation! Upon arrival the entry way was packed with people hoping for walk-in seating. Although we had reservations we did have to wait 10ish minutes to be seated. We ordered the Hidden Agenda, Second Act,
Excellent vegetarian options! Cool ambience.
Usually fast service, but they are so busy that it is understandable sometimes they are late
12/10 service and food! Such a unique take on veggie sushi
12/10 service and food! Such a unique take on veggie sushi and using so much ingredients. Super hard to get a reservation but we waited for the bar seats for four and was totally worth it! Would prefer a normal table next time.

Yes yes yes! Love the creativity at shizen, I would recommend this spot to everyone and not just vegetarians and vegans. I really love the pumpkin roll that we got and the concept of surprise ending could be a fun roll to enjoy with your friends. B

This place is a vegetarian's dream! FOOD I have tried
This place is a vegetarian's dream! FOOD I have tried their Boddy & Soul roll, Surprise Ending roll and Second Act roll. All 3 were absolutely delicious, but I personally liked the Second Act better than the rest. Boddy and Soul is a deep fried
Food was fantastic, personally recommend the glazed
Food was fantastic, personally recommend the glazed eggplant nigiri and the "missing piece" special roll. The restaurant gets really busy and reservations fill quickly so make sure to book a week out if you have a specific time you want.
Very very good.
Way better than you'd expect being that it's all vegan... usually vegan food is lacking in flavor. But this place does it right .. it's almost fancy
The best sushi - it is vegan but you wouldn't know it!
Shizen is a brilliant vegan sushi bar. I am not vegan, but this food could convert me! The food is fantastic - flavoursome and varied. So clever
DELICIOUS! Every single item ordered was spot on! Cocktails
DELICIOUS! Every single item ordered was spot on! Cocktails were good. Only downside is the limited seating time and seemed a bit rushed.
Susanna gave me great service, while doing ultrasound.
She accepted me a like family member. I felt myself as a like home.
Love love love love! The best vegan sushi ever.
How can every bite be so so flavorful. The wait times aren't justified though. Also would like it if they are open for lunch. Only dinner is sometimes hard to go into the city just for dinner
Have to go again to try everything on the menu - forgot it

We walked in here on a week night about 830pm and it was popping!! We luckily got 3 spots at the bar and were welcomed in. I've been wanting to try this place for YEARS now and it was definitely worth the hype & wait. We were all obsessed. Every

Wonderful flavors and very creative dishes, good service, though it's gets pretty noisy as it's a popular dining spot (for good reasons!)

Shizen is so creative and does a great job being incredibly thoughtful and detail-oriented about their flavors, texture, and acidity. I used to love their marinated tomato nigiri but my new favorite is now the marinated eggplant nigiri. Highlights

Wish we were nearer
We had hoped to eat later than we did but 5 o’clock was the only time available. When we arrived, there was a big queue outside but we were all seated quickly by their friendly staff. The food was amazing. Definitely no boring vegan options. Than
Yum
As a vegan it was a thrill to eat such delicious sushi. Such great flavors and presentation. Very exciting.
Awesome vegan sushi... if you can handle the wait!
One of our favorite Vegan Sushi spots in the Bay. The food is worth the hype but service can be hit or miss sometimes. Try making reservations since it can be hard to get in on most days!
Divine food!!!
What a gourmet treat!!! We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal!! The Shizen Margarita was very yummy!! There were 4 of us & we shared!We had 3 specialty rolls - Hidden Agenda, Prime Suspect and Missing Piece (hard to chose a favourite)! We also had t

Very difficult to find a reservation at Shizen on a weekend so I'd recommend making a reservation a week in advance. The ambience/service is good and it's a nice and chic place. We ordered the Yuba Nigiri, which wasn't one of my favorite dishes (very

My friends and I went to Shizen for dinner and ordered some appetizers and signature rolls to share. All the rolls were delicious and my friends, mostly non-vegetarian, were very surprised how tasty the rolls were. Usually you'd expect an avocado rol
Astonishing.
I can't believe how amazing this place is. Everything was so perfect. This is now going to be in my top 5 favorite restaurants ever.

I've been coming to Shizen for many years now but haven't left a review. The service is good and the interiors are very unique. I'm glad they take reservations now which makes it so much better than going to the restaurant to join the waitlist and th
I absolutely love shizen.
I love all small plates i've gotten so far, and the rolls as well. The quality is so fresh and flavors are so intentional. I especially love how it isn't forced to be an exact replica of non vegan sushi. The creativity is very apparent but still prod
The food was pretty good and impressive.
Who knew vegan sushi could be this delicious? The service on the other hand was less than desirable. We had to wait about 25 mins to get our servers attention to order. The server brought our drinks to us after about 45 minutes (after the food) of b

Amazing food!! Loved the variety and creativity! Can't wait to go here again. Great place for vegans
Excellent food.
Hard to decide what to eat because of all the options. I enjoyed the tempura, and even more so because of how rarely I can find vegan tempura. Sushi was creative.Service is great but also interesting. They appear to serve all meals / parties in waves
I have never been anywhere like Shizen.
I first had take out from them as a treat for my boyfriend's birthday, as he's vegan. I was very skeptical, but was very quickly persuaded by the *delicious* food. Better than most traditional sushi I've eaten! I liked it so much that I decided to go

Had heard about this place before but had low expectations since it's vegan sushi but the food totally exceeded expectations and it was so satisfying. For the most part I could tell the rolls did not have fish in them but it didn't stop me from likin
LOVE THIS PLACE!! My favorite dish is the Philadelphia roll
LOVE THIS PLACE!! My favorite dish is the Philadelphia roll with the smoked tofu. Have only done delivery and probs won't order ramen again and have it there in person. It was delicious but ramen for delivery is a little ridiculous if you ask me.
After my third visit, I can solidly attest to the good food.
Different flavors & textures and an enjoyable ambiance to have a reasonable conversation without having to raise one's voice make this a good spot to go; aisle seating is good for about 45min but then it feels like I have to get up and move quite

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Shizen Vegan Sushi Bar and Izakaya San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Shizen Vegan Sushi Bar and Izakaya San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* BraveCloth47, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* BraveCloth47 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to BraveCloth47 for any questions Peter may have as BraveCloth47 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* BraveCloth47 now uses their connections at Shizen Vegan Sushi Bar and Izakaya San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If BraveCloth47 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, BraveCloth47 receives the $200 reward which is credited to BraveCloth47's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Shizen Vegan Sushi Bar and Izakaya San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
