Second fave was the drunk cauliflower. And then the tikka masala. The Tikka was still good but maybe not exactly what I was expecting - very veggie heavy plate. They have so many more items on their menu I'd love to try. Oh and the teas come in a really cute beaker setup, and they can make to your desired sweetness. It's a cute little spot, space is clean, and they have a bathroom for customers. There's a small parking lot in the shopping center where you can park for free too, yay!

My go to is the Seoul bowl it's so good and perfectly marinated while still being health conscious 5/5. The newer tikka masala has been a fav lately- it's veggie based but the spices and flavor are on point, just as delicious as a non-vegan dish! I think with soy meat it could be even better, I'll see if that's an option next time, but this was 4.5/5. West coast shrimp side is really satisfying and savory. I rly should try more items here but it's hard to deviate from my favs haha. |[ s i p ]| Drinks are also decent but the star for me here is the food. I really look forward to more new food items to come. |[ n o t e s ]| Parking lot is small and kinda hit or miss but it's worth it. :) Ambiance- cute brunch spot while still health conscious.

Drunken noodles were good but the chili flakes were like hard and unchewable which is a not a great thing to bite into if you're affected by food texture sensitivity. Bit of a hole in the wall and parking can be challenging. The workers were friendly.

It was filling flavorful and had me sniffing up a storm with a spice level. I also ordered the Roti with Guac and again it was delicious. My husband got the Pineapple Fried Rice and I had a few bites and it was so tasty. He also ordered the Gyoza and it was crispy pack full of flavor and not greasy. Plenty of parking in back, and we will definitely return.

He was very welcoming and friendly. He asked if I had an idea of what I wanted. I let him know I was looking for a bowl. He pointed out the two favorites. I decided on the chicken Tinga. I ordered a drink as well and another worker Edward suggested the Watermelon Margarita. They were both very upbeat and engaging and seemed to enjoy their job. Hector made the drink, it was soooo good When the food came out it was very disappointing. I received rice that had been scraped from the bottom of the pot. It was very hard and hurt my tooth as I bit in. I went back and showed Hector. He apologized and said that should never happen. He then went back himself and remade it. That bowl tasted so much better than the first time, It was delicious. It seems that good service is a little harder to come by now days. I appreciate both of these guys bringing a great attitude and providing amazing customer service. It makes the atmosphere of the restaurant very pleasant and welcoming and can really make or break a dining experience.

I've always loved their chicken sandwich and nuggets, so I already knew the food here was good. But on my latest visit, I finally tried the Classic Cheeseburger after people had been recommending it to me for MONTHS, and now I understand why. JUICY. Flavorful. Messy in the best way. Just an incredibly satisfying vegan burger, and one I've been thinking about ever since. Hey, Sunshine Kitchen continues to be such a gem in Culver City. Whether you're vegan or just looking for really good plant-based food, this is absolutely one to have on your list.

The service was somewhat questionable, with us having to ask for napkins and our last drink, and them telling us we already have it, when we clearly didn't. The tables are also microscopic and the biggest one only fits 2 people. Yeah, probably won't ever be back for some yucky expensive food. The hot sauce bottles were all near empty, if that's any indication of the flavors. The places looks cute and all but yeah, no thanks.

Kinda nice until I realized what if there's spiders! lol Anyway the food was alright, I got the get in my belly bowl. One thing I didn't like was the mix of fish, it literally was a mix like it looked like ground fish. I wasn't a fan. Be sure to select on or the other if you want whole chunks of fish! The drinks were pretty refreshing. I did have one really big con though was the menu. I felt overwhelmed looking through it. Each item on the menu had such a long description. I felt pressured to just pick something also because there were people behind us. I also thought it was a bit expensive also. Somehow we spent 57$ on two bowls and two drinks. Not sure if I'd go to be honest. If you try it and let know what you think :)

For me personally having tried other vegan and vegetarian sushi places before this was the least favorite. Crispy rice was too fried with little flavor, things tended to be a little salty for me.
