Vegan Shoku, 2260 W. 41st Ave., Vancouver, BC V6M 1Z8 Canada

Vegan Shoku’s menu is 100% vegan, but the breadth and depth of their offerings and the presentation of their dishes strongly rival those of traditional sushi establishments. A mere glance at their Instagram page demonstrates the artfulness of their plates. The menu ranges from Appetizers including Tofu Katsu and Calamari to Wraps such as the Tuna Poke, to Sashimi, Tempura, Oshizushi, Nigiri, and Rice Bowls (including one with Spam). Not in the mood to make a decision after a long day? Go with one of the Combination options, such as the Dynamite Combo that includes a Dynamite roll, salmon, tomato, baby corn, and inari. Sounds too good—or too fishy—to be true? Best to go and try and see for yourself!
