favorite restaurant everrrrr!!!

before going vegan, i was the biggest sushi fan. i loved omakase, and enjoyed anything and everything i was served… so knowing a good sushi restaurant to satisfy the deep craving without the suffering is extremely important to me. this is ALWAYS a hit. even for their non-sushi menu options, like the katsu plates, ramen, bentos, and appetizers, they always hit the spot. if i could eat anything for the rest of my life, it would probably be kenshō. the ONLY negative i could point out would be, like others said, the decor is nonexistent… but im able to ignore that for their fantastic food. i only wish they had omakase available at the sushi bar!!!

Pros: best food in the entire world

Cons: atmosphere is lacking

Great sushi

Great sushi! Just wish the interior looked more up to date. When my group went in we were immediately skeptical because of how sparse it looked inside.

We were however pleasantly surprised, the food is great!

Amazing vegan sushi

The most amazing Vegan sushi ever!
Prices are a little high for the decor which really hurts the vibe. But the food here is top notch for sure.
We had bulogi fries with vegan meat so good. And all the sushi we tried. You could not tell it wasn’t the real deal!

Pros: Food was AMAZING, Service

Cons: A little expensive, Horrible decor very blah

Good

I stumbled upon this place and I was surprised! The food was good. I had the Crunchy Cali Roll and it was my favorite. I also ordered the jalapeño roll and it was just okay. The Hawaiian box was also good. They restaurant is a bit scarce and could use some upgrades.

Hidden Gem in Westminster

One of the best sushi spots, period. I’ve taken several non-vegan friends and they’ve all loved it. Can’t go wrong with anything on their menu. The ramen is bomb! I Lava You roll, Yoga roll, and Crispy rice tuna are favorites of mine. #Veganuary

Pros: Vegan sushi, Friendly staff, Service

Cons: very small

Great Sushi

This place was so good, that I ordered from them two nights in a row. I tried the Spider roll, Caterpillar, I Lava You and the Crunchy Cali. They were all so good but my favorite was the I Lava You. I had a moment where I thought it wasn’t vegan…really reminded me of the sushi rolls I enjoyed pre-veganism. I will definitely have it again the next time I’m in town.

Great Sushi. Good Gluten Free Options

I love this place!

Unassuming from the outside but everything I’ve ever gotten here has been delicious! Even my non-veg friends love this place. Everything taste so fresh and the service is great as well. Plenty of parking available. The I Lava You is hands down one of the tastiest things I ever ate! I couldn’t believe how good it was. The tempura squash blossoms were also insanely good.

Pros: All vegan, Has parking, Great service

Cons: No booze, yet.

Best vegan sushi in the world

I’ve had bad vegan sushi. Sushi is very easy to get wrong. I’ve had sushi with dry, hard rice. I’ve had sushi without enough filling. Some places charge $14 for a small avocado-cucumber roll.

Kensho is leagues above anything else I’ve tried. I was not even a big seafood person before going vegan, and yet I dream about their Sweet P roll. If you haven’t tried this place you’re missing out.

Best vegan sushi I’ve had

Basically everything I’ve had on their menu has been delicious. Only warning I’d give is it’s often busy so sometimes it takes awhile to get your food.

Pros: Taste, Options, Staff

Awesome sushi

I have been wanting to visit Kensho Vegan Sushi for a long time. I was visiting Long Beach so made my way down to Westminster for some Kensho sushi.

We ordered the Jalapeño Popper and the Caterpillar rolls. These two rolls made create combination. The Jalapeño Popper has Mayo so a bit fatty, and the Caterpillar is more refreshing. I miss sushi because I love the experience of eating delicious sushi with chopsticks, and the wasabi & soy sauce dipping sauce, and sushi ginger.

Pros: Great vegan sushi selections, Quick service

Wow.

The tempura blossom alone makes the place worth it. Amazing fusion of jalapeño popper in a zucchini blossom. Unreal.

It’s a must stop if your traveling through LA

The best vegan sushi in town…

I’ve been to this restaurant several times now and it never disappoints. Great selection of appetizers and sushi rolls. Their ramen uses Omni “meat” and I highly recommend trying it.

Pros: Fully vegan menu, Service was excellent

Cons: Moderately expensive , In a sketchy strip mall

Sushi

It’s so nice to be able to get tasty vegan sushi a bit closer to me than having to be near LA. I’m very pleased with this place. The place is family owned and they seem very kind and hard working. I’m glad to support and I’m grateful for the vegan options they bring to the community
