This place is magic

Truly the best sushi I’ve ever had. Shrimp is so realistic I had to double check. Even the caviar is very realistic. Bring any of your seafood eating friends here and see if they can tell the difference. My favorites were the California roll, Spider roll and Jalapeño Popper roll.

Pros: Fast service , Many options , Amazing ingredients

Yummy vegan sushi

I had a little trouble finding it, but so glad I did. I had the crispy California roll and the shrimp hand roll. Those were delicious and I can’t wait to try the other rolls.

Nice vegan sushi

My friend introduced me to this place and I had to try it as a sushi lover. Although the menu was quite small, I got to try 5 different rolls. My favorite was their take on the spicy tuna, and I will definitely be returning to again whenever I’m in the area.

Friendly staff, quick service and delicious food.

Pros: Parking, Service

Cons: Lack of variety on menu

Great Vegan Sushi

The sushi was great and I kinda liked the simple menu choices. I got the spicy yoga roll and the crunchy Cali and both were great. I wish that they didn’t give me water in a plastic cup and a disposable plate. Real dishes are more eco friendly and enjoyable. The seating is a bit cramped but the restaurant is very cute.

Pros: Yummy sushi, Friendly and fast service , All vegan

Cons: Single use plates and cups, Small restaurant

Vegan Sushi by Vegans

One of the geniuses that brought us the best vegan ice-cream in OC now brings us amazing vegan sushi.

A group of us met up at Kensho last night it took me a little while to find it in this huge 2 story Little Saigon Strip mall, but it was totally worth it. (bottom floor on the Western end of mall) It is a cute little place tastefully decorated and clean. And run by a familiar face in the OC Vegan scene so I knew this was going to be amazing.

Between the four of us we ordered the entire menu. I think my favorite may have been the Yoga Fire or the Spicy Tuna-less the spicy tuna was how I remember it and these were amazing. The Crunchy Cali was pretty solid as well. I loved the - well the crunch it is always good to have a texture change in your meal. Basically everything I tried was delicious.

It would be nice to enjoy my sushi with an Asahi or Ichiban, but that is ok - maybe in the future ... hint hint hint😄

Pros: Delicious food, Familier face in Vegan community , 100% Vegan

Cons: No Beers!!!!

More please!

I was in heaven as soon as I walked in. I literally wanted to order everything on the menu! We ordered Seaweed salad, edamame, the Don, Crunchy Cali, Yoga Fire and Sweet P (we were the first to try it!) Seaweed Salad was A , even the hubby and kids liked it! Edamame was plain with salt- ok but I would love for this to be kicked up a notch with garlic or spices or both! The Don was the first roll to come out and we devoured it, all the flavors on point, the mushroom gave it a meaty texture. The Crunchy Cali - as a native Californian I yield to the non traditional deep fried roll - nice texture and all the internal flavors were balanced well, I would order this at every visit. Sweet P was up next, I liked the mellow flavors of the tempura sweet potato and cream cheese - it was a good order for the kiddos. I would have liked more crunch on the tempura but still good nonetheless. Finally the Yoga Fire - YUM!! My husband tapped out but I loved the heat, I couldn’t get enough. All in all, this place is a must go! Can’t wait to get back to OC and to Kensho Vegan Sushi!

Pros: Great job recreating all the favorites I loved, The staff was super friendly and helpful, Fast service

Cons: I want more appetizer options please

Game changer

Had 3 different rolls, and they were all delicious and I honestly can’t wait to come back and have some again! So tired of just having the plain avocado rolls as an option. And on top of all the goodness, the owner was super friendly and helpful!

Pros: The whole menu is vegan , Owner is nice and attentive , Got great service, short wait for food

Cons: No bathroom

Vegan sushi yum!

I was so excited to find out that there was finally a vegan sushi restaurant in OC. I must say the sushi is quite amazing. I tried the crunchy Cali, yoga roll, spicy tuna-less, and shrimp-less tempura roll. They were all amazing but my personal favorites were the crunchy cali and yoga roll. Would highly suggest trying this place out you won't regret it!

Amazing!

This is a brand new vegan sushi spot! I was so excited to try this place since there aren’t many vegan sushi places in LA. After going today, I can definitely say that is already one of my favorite vegan restaurants! The sushi tasted exactly like the “real” thing. It was delicious and I would recommend giving this place a try! The staff was nice and friendly. Food took about 15 minutes to come out. No complaints here. :)

Pros: It’s all vegan, Food tastes great

Cons: Small eating area
