If you don’t want to drive up to Shizen in SF, go to Kiroro sushi! Great vegan sushi options! We’ve been here many times, and the food has always been fresh and delicious!
I ordered the “Deluxe Chirashi Bowl” on DoorDash and was satisfied with the meal. Some points: 1. Overall, the cuts of fish are very high quality. I applaud them for this. Chu-toro was cut generously. 2. The sauces are too overpowering. It felt way too salty with how much ponzu was drizzled. Traditionally, chirashi/kaisen don bowls should highlight the fish. I felt like I was tasting too much sauce for my liking. The rice was not enough to “balance out” the saltiness. Then, there was also this sour-sweet relish that, by itself, could be good. But they drizzled so much of it I couldn’t taste the fish/rice anymore. Overall, too much sauce. 3. I appreciated how they added their “signature touch” to the chirashi bowl with puréed yam. It balanced the salmon. 4. Presentation is very good. I liked how they scored the salmon. Good touch. 5. For a deluxe chirashi bowl, I was let down with only a single piece of uni and a single piece of amaebi. Usually, uni should come in two pieces? Somewhat understandable, since Santa Barbara uni is expensive these days (I’m pretty sure it’s Santa Barbara uni). 6. Rice is okay—nothing special unfortunately. I admit I have pretty high standard with my sushi rice though.
