I had the lobster roll and it was perfect. Both the cajun, fries, and the garlic, parmesan, or delicious. The Caesar salad was fantastic Updated from previous review on 2025-08-25

I would recommend the cannoli! The Caesar sandwich made me a bit queasy though.

An excellent place to go if you’re super hungry and want something vegan and hearty to eat. My favorite things to order are the Death by Potato Gyro, Pastrami Reuben Sandwich Jalapeño Business Sandwich, Bacon Mac Salad and the take & bake Pot Pies. Cool vibes, inside & outside seating, awesome logo and name, variety of options & great flavors. Updated from previous review on 2025-07-13

As a vegetarian, I found the food pretty bland. The employee recommended the lobster roll, and it wasn't very flavorful nor worth the price. The mac salad also was bland - I added salt. And it wasn't even full in the container.

We love the come here for brunch, as it’s one of the few vegan brunch spots around. We love sitting on the back patio in the sun. The food is always great and they are very accommodating with various substitutions/alterations. I always have to get a cannoli when they’re available!

The food was ok, but the restaurant felt somewhat dirty, and ordering at the entrance was very inconvenient. The real highlight was the exceptional service.

Love the butchers son !! Amazing sandwiches, salads, deli section, and of course brunch on weekends. My favorite vegan restaurant in the bay Updated from previous review on 2025-06-04

I bought the Bacon Ranch Buffalo Chicken with a side of Coleslaw. Service was fine, the food was not very good though; and I was hungry. The sandwich patty was not very flavorful, the bacon strips attempted to make up for it but it was altogether lacking. Coleslaw was a no-go because 1: it was dripping from the bag and made a mess in my car 2: it had too much vinegar. The slaw was not good at all, whipped up but not complementary to the sandwich; it was runny and sour tasting.
I leave a 3 star rating because I know a place I can get a real vegan buffalo chicken sandwich with authentic coleslaw. Maybe they have something else that's good on the menu but I won't come back to this place.

Love this place, it's a bit pricey but 100% worth it. The staff are really friendly and the menu is exquisite.

How have I not rated this place before? My favorite vegan place in the Bay Area, at least for comfort food. Shizen is pretty nice… anyhow, especially with their beautiful rose garden, this is a great place for brunch on a sunny day.

Haven't had anything bad from here. Get a rock road bar to go. You won't regret it.
