Kusaki

A near miss. Food was creative and interesting but always flawed in some way. Real Michelin star potential if they can figure out the finer details. Nigiri were generally yummy but served slightly chill instead of body temperature and rice was a touch overcooked. Corn hand roll was tasty but also served chilled, flavors would have been more pronounced and more enjoyable at room temperature. Shishito burger was a solid beyond-type burger with nice condiments but nothing beyond that. The sashimi crudo was unbalanced with the super strong yuzu kosho destroying your palate. Everything was ok to good, but if perfected it could be truly special.

It's one the most delicious vegan sushi spots in Los Angeles!

I'm not vegan, but this vegan sushi place is amazing!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

The Co-owner of the restaurant, Jade is extremely kind and thoughtful. He checked in personally with us during my meal.

i went here for my birthday with my partner and i loved it!
very dimly lit and cute dark interior which is perfect for a date night or moody celebration. it’s a rarity that vegan restaurants are actually cute unfortunately but this one is very on point. like you wanna gram everything.
the wait staff was super nice, attentive, and knowledgeable.
the food was incredible. i love seeing so much creativity with vegan food. we ordered:
-avocado crispy rice: absolutely delicious, the zest of lemon intermingling was pleasantly unexpected. usually crispy rices that i’ve had are pretty bland.
-sailfish crudo sashimi: flavor was on point, my non vegan partner remarked that real sashimi melts on your tongue more but this is great as a cleverly made eco-conscious alternative
-salmon shiso sashimi: the sauces were delicious though this one wasn’t our fave
-miso eggplant sushi: yum!
-the king sushi roll: this was my fave and you get 8 rolls
-the rainbow sushi roll: my partner’s fave!
i also love their ceramics. all in all, my new fave upscale spot! i hope their bathroom is cute too— i didn’t get a chance to check it out.

Had such a great experience here! The wait stuff was very knowledgeable and attentive throughout the evening. The food is incredible!! We tried a lot of items on the menu and all were great but our favorites were the citrus avocado salad, the shishito burger and the Philly roll. Definitely recommend this place for a nice enjoyable dinner!

Y'ALL! Get yourselves down to Kusaki ASAP! This place has some AMAZINGLY TASTY food going on, not to mention the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, the owner, Jade, is a rad fella, Chef Dillon is a genius, and the overall vibes are very chill. Top notch dining experience! We would give it more than 5 stars if we could. Happy Hendrys over here 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
