“See on map #99 in 2025 San Francisco GenreVegan Sushi Price$$ Shizen miraculously proves that great sushi is not incumbent on seafood — [the entire menu is vegan](https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/best-vegetarian-food-sf-bay-area/). Established in 2015, the energetic San Francisco plant-based sushi bar and izakaya eschews the solemnity that’s de rigueur [at many sushi spots](https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/best-sushi-sf-bay-area/), leaving more room for fun: The “Surprise Ending” consists of six rolls filled with avocado, asparagus and shredded tofu, then capped in beet slices; one contains a hot pepper, like playing sushi Russian roulette.

“This Mission District plant-based Japanese restaurant has a reputation as one of the city’s finest vegan options. The restaurant continues to live up to that hype. The price point is not egregious, and the elegant ambiance and food are worth it: plant-based kaarage with spicy agave aioli or green mango nigiri. Reservations here are golden tickets, so book in advance. * [370 14th St, San Francisco, CA, 94103, US](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Shizen%2C%20370%2014th%20St%2C%20San%20Francisco%2C%20CA%2C%2094103%2C%20US) * [+14156785767](tel:14156785767) * [Visit website](http://shizensf.com/) ![Sushi at Shizen.](https://platform.sf.eater.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/28/chorus/”
