Best sushi - Edit
I lucked out on my way back from the beach when I looked for vegan restaurants. Ma-Kin makes the best sushi around. Their menu is extensive with so many great options. Their creative sushi rolls are loaded with delicious ingredients. If you like sushi- definitely visit Ma-Kin.

Best Vegan Sushi - Edit
This place will blow your mind. I take all my non-vegan friends here and they can’t believe how good it is! The chefs are so kind and super talented. The service and food are always superb. Located in a nice quiet area it’s a great spot for relaxing and enjoying a bomb-ass-meal

SOOO GOOOD!! - Edit
The food was so good that I went back the next day to try more and it did not disappoint! I was so excited to try it that I forgot to photo everything except my dessert. We order warm sake, chik'n katsu curry, a rainbow roll, cucumber sunomono salad and the matcha cheesecake. All that for less than $60 before tip. Besides the cucumber being sliced sooo thin that it didn't have the crunch I prefer, everything was DELICIOUS!! I can't wait to go again and bummed its not closer to where I live!!
Read morePros: Great variety on menu, Food presentation was great
Cons: Long wait- don't take reservations under 4 people.

Best sushi I’ve had in years! - Edit
The authentic textures and flavors of the sushi here make my heart sing- I didn’t try any of the elaborate rolls, went straight to the seared albacore and a grilled king oyster mushroom sushi and they were just what I’ve missed about traditional Japanese sushi joints. The chefs’ skilled techniques have created the most wonderful melt-in-your mouth and surprising textures, and all 100% guilt free. Tamari on the table and plenty of gluten free choices- Love them!

Must Go!!! The BEST Vegan Sushi - Edit
Wow! This is by far the best all vegan sushi restaurant I’ve ever visited. Even my non-vegan friends were amazed and said they couldn’t tell it wasn’t fish. Don’t pass this place up. The owner was as friendly along with the staff as the sushi was amazing!

Delicious and vast menu - Edit
We just happened upon this place on the way home from a day at Zuma beach. We got seated right away on a Saturday night just before 6 . I’ve been vegan/vegetarian for so long that I’ve never tried most sushi. So I can’t tell you if it tastes authentic. But I can tell you that it’s incredibly delicious. I ordered the Red Dragon and Spicy Vegan and my 14 year old got the sushi sampler. I took half home, I was so full. My kid loved everything in the sampler, and they’re very picky.

Excellent Food and Matcha Tea - Edit
We ordered the teriyaki chicken, crunch rolls, alaska baked salmon rolls, and rainbow roll. The scores were 9/10, 8/10, 9/10, and 10/10, respectively. The rainbow roll was particularly impressive, as it didn't rely on any tricks to hide the taste of the fish substitute. The person who ordered them was a sushi-lover, and couldn't believe that it wasn't real fish. She's also a matcha enthusiast, and loved the matcha tea.

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.

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!
