TOP NOTCH vegan sushi (too busy at dinner time) - Edit
The food was GREAT but it took 45 minutes to be seated & then another 15 min for them to come to our table to take our order (no water or anything)
Read moreMaybe they were short staffed because the wait really sucked but I will absolutely be coming back because the food was awesome
Pros: Loved everything I got, 100% vegan
Cons: Longest wait time

Sooo good - Edit
Wonderful, fully vegan Japanese cuisine. I wanted to try a lot of different parts of the menu so we shared the cucumber sunomono, gyoza (steamed), spicy miso mushroom soup, chicken teriyaki bowl, the sexy lady roll, and the matcha cheesecake. Just about everything was amazing and I'm so glad I discovered this place. The hot green tea was also really nice.
Read moreA few small complaints, to be a bit nitpicky - the cucumber salad wasn't very flavorful, the gyoza fell apart really easily, and the veg in the teriyaki bowl was pretty oversteamed. Still a wonderful experience overall tho
2nd visit update:
Still super amazing. I recommend the pork buns and the rolls have all been really good. Oh and go fried gyoza over steamed (they don't fall apart)

Veg sushi :p - Edit
Definitely one of the better vegan sushi spots I’ve ever had.
Read moreI would highly recommend this spot for anyone. I’ve been here a handful of times and can easily say the baked lobster roll and spicy tuna rice cakes are the best.
This place is tucked away in a quiete parking lot and is very spacious inside. The food always comes out quick.
I never enjoyed fish so I don’t like some of the sushi dishes as the vegan fish texture is strange to me.

is this real life? - Edit
Finally hit up Makin this week and must say was completely blown away. Firstly, the restaurant is very cute and cozy with a classic sushi bar vibe. The staff was very sweet and friendly.
Read moreAnd of course, the food was fantastic!
My husband, 18-month old and I ate more than we could handle, plus more.
We ordered the Sumo, Red Dragon, Philly Tempura, Caterpillar & Jalapeño Tempura rolls and not one disappointed in the slightest.
The Bun Bun was very good as an appetizer along with an order of the tamago sushi (sweet egg), which hit the mark as well. If you’re vegan and miss having a full Japanese sushi experience, this will fill that void.
Pros: fully vegan, clean and cozy, fair prices

Must try for all vegans - Edit
As someone who avoids mock meat/fish, I was hesitant to try this place. But, the spicy "tuna" turned out to just be tofu, and I've yet to try any of the sashimis yet. The restaurant is decorated really cutely and the 911 role was excellent!! I would also come back just for the vegan miso soup alone😁🫶

Girrrrllllll 💁🏻♀️ - Edit
This place is FIRE. Every roll I tried here was so good!! It really feels like they care about serving the best vegan sushi! The Jalapeño roll and the Alaska roll were my favorites 😍.
Read moreWe also had the Bun Bun appetizer which is siopao with vegan pork. It was SO tasty and the first time I've gotten to enjoy siopao since before going vegan 8 years ago.
Not only was the food delicious but the atmosphere is really nice! It's a small, nicely decorated, clean restaurant and the staff was very sweet and accommodating. The prices are truly fair for the whole experience!
I highly recommend having your next date night here!

Great food - Edit
My dad and I enjoyed the bun buns and teriyaki chickn plate. I also got the california roll, which was ok, didn’t wow me or anything. I usually like putting ginger on my sushi and it didn’t come with that. I also ended up using some of my dad’s teriyaki sauce on my sushi because the soy sauce provided was too salty (I tend to use low sodium soy sauce).
Read moreThe chocolate cheesecake was fabulous, in that it was dense and rich. I just wish it was a chocolate cheesecake rather than a basic cheesecake with a cocoa dusting and chocolate drizzle. I was expecting it to be brown, not white lol. Anyways, it was all still amazing bc it’s vegan and many years ago you couldn’t get any of this vegan.
Pros: All vegan, Good service, Great selection
Cons: Parts of menu are very pricey

Delectable vegan morsels - Edit
I really enjoyed the speciality sushi rolls at Ma-kin from the presentation to the artisan crafted flavors. The menu overall has a nice variety of items however the sushi is what they are known for.
Read moreI’ve visited multiple times so far and explored the menu a bit and quite few things stood out as highlights. If you’re undecided on what to order I highly recommend the Alaska baked rolls, rock shrimp rolls, crunch rolls, crispy shrimp pop, dynamite baked roll, low rider roll and the matcha cheesecake. Their vegan cheesecake is by far the absolute best I’ve ever tasted. The consistency and flavor is really good and you won’t be disappointed. The bun bun rolls as an appetizer was flavorful but the vegan protein tasted like beyond meat or something and it really overpowered the dish more than I would’ve liked. The prices for the special rolls are pretty much in the same range from other vegan sushi spots I’ve had like Shizen in SF and not as pricey as Shojin in LA but with Shojin the service and ambiance is excellent and some of the cost coincide with the overall dining experience.
Overall Ma-kin is a must try and it may turn into your favorite vegan sushi spot. The dining experience is more casual, the staff and sushi chefs are friendly and from the looks of it, it has already become a local favorite spot in the area.

Pros: Vegan, Artsian sushi
Cons: Parking can be limited during dinner hours., Tables are bit too close amongst diners., Table service is still a bit slow when busy.

Outstanding! - Edit
This is the second vegan sushi place I’ve been to, and both were great. The one thing that separates this from the other was the prices. This was more affordable all things considered. The tastes and textures were outstanding, service awesome, and atmosphere was nice yet casual. Truth be told, I ordered five different items. I’ll definitely be back!

This place is a MUST for vegans - Edit
Excellent! No matter how far away from this place in the Los Angeles or Ventura area that you may live, if you are vegan, you have to go here. Probably the best vegan meal that we've had in years anywhere in the world. It's a real gem in the middle of a shopping plaza in Agoura Hills. Who would have guessed it? Because of its location, it rarely comes up in searches for LA. So glad that we discovered it. Prices are very reasonable. We ate like kids in a candy shop and ran up the bill on this first visit but honestly worth every cent. Also, it's worth the drive from wherever you are. Can't wait to go back and try more things. Go... Now... Best!

Favorite sushi restaurant - Edit
Ma-Kin never disappoints. They are so good. I love everything I’ve tried from the apps, sushi, and entrees. I like how their “fish” is actually distinguishable from each other and they try to use different textures and flavors. Some sushi places just use a lot of mock sushi fish but I think they all taste and feel almost the same.
Read moreOne of my favorite restaurants.
Pros: Delicious food, Great customer service

Unreal - Edit
This place is a an absolute MUST! Delicious and beyond expectations. There are no words for how good this food is. I took some of my anti-vegan friends here and didn’t tell them it was vegan until they started eating and they loved it so much they came back without me! I keep taking people here even though it’s location is way out of the way from where we live. I highly recommend the rock shrimp tempura roll, the six nine roll. The miso soup and matcha are very good, as well. Don’t miss out!! Go eat here RIGHT NOW!!

Delicious creative vegan sushi + in my backyard! - Edit
Wow! Thank God for Happy Cow or I would have missed this hidden gem. The food was as yummy as Shojin and the prices were reasonable for the presentation, taste and organic ingredients. I loved the specialty rolls and the spicy tuna crispy rice cakes were thick and succulent. The owner is a young woman and this restaurant stands out as a cut above the rest. I will be a regular for sure!
Read morePros: Outdoor seating available, Loved the owner - great energy and vibe, I will be craving this food until I come again

VEGAN SUSHI - Edit
The only place I’ve ever been that can do truly amazing vegan sushi, I mean they don’t just have rolls! Sashimi is on the menu here as well as many other options. The staff is hilarious and so awesome, always helping to create new, delicious and fun dishes. It’s not expensive considering where it’s located and the amount of food you get. One of my favorite date night or celebration spots!

Variety! - Edit
Creative, delicious, highly recommend. There are so many options, your biggest conundrum will be deciding what to try. Better yet, share with a mate and go buffet style. We tried the Red Dragon roll and the Crunchy Roll (with soy paper) - I still swear there were graham crackers in it (that’s a good thing!) also had Avocado Salad and the Bun Buns. All delicious.

Very nice experience here. Great staff and great food. All the rolls were excellent with the baked alaskan being the highlight of our choices. Parking is easy and the restaurant is right off the freeway. No complaints other than I think the prices are a tad high, but everything is pricey in Augora, so I’m sure it’s no issue for the locals.
