From the service, to the decor, to the food, my sister and I had the best time. It’s nice not to worry about cross contamination, but I have other random food intolerances in addition to gluten, which they were able to talk me through the menu and accommodate so kindly. All the food was delicious, the flavor and texture of each bite is done so well, and not having symptoms or being concerned about getting symptoms is just the cherry on top.
I will definitely be back and bring my other friends (I’m the only celiac!) who I know would love this place as well.

From the owner
We started Shojin (DT Los Angeles & Culver City) with the hope of creating a place where people with severe allergies such as Celiac, soy, nut, sesame, onion, garlic, and different food preferences like vegan, vegetarian can enjoy the same dining together.
We offer not only GLUTEN-FREE but also plant-based and allergic-friendly food.
You can easily find what allergens are contained in each item on the menu.
As well as gluten-free and plant-based, another important concept is:
Make you and your body healthy and happy.
So, we never use pre-made foods because most of them contain artificial ingredients, colors, and/or preservatives. Instead, we prepare all our sauces, "tuna", "chicken", "beef" and so on in our kitchen using the highest quality ingredients based on the Macrobiotic philosophy, and organic as much as possible.

This restaurant exceeded my expectations and was one of the best gf experiences I’ve had. I get nervous about eating oats at restaurants, and when I saw it a few times on the menu, I asked them about it. They brought out an oat free menu (everything is already gf). We got the pumpkin croquettes and crispy rice as appetizers. Then we had the oyster mushrooms, eggplant sushi and dynamite roll. The eggplant (I think called the purple roll) was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. We had the matcha truffles and sesame ice cream for dessert. The drinks were great too and even my non gf boyfriend was blown away

Celiac visiting LA and went here for dinner last night. Everything was great and 100% gluten free and vegan. Definitely more on the pricey side but worth it for the quality of food and atmosphere. All the staff was very nice. My family members who I went with are not gluten free or vegan but they still enjoyed it.

I give 5 stars because 7 stars is not an option. My wife and I can never decide what we want and settle for ordering 4 entrees and then overeating. You would never know the food is GF.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had! Allergens clearly labeled, including soy. Option for soy-free with coconut aminos if you so choose. Delicious Saki cocktails. Great service. Highly recommend!!
