    I wasn’t able to dine here as my reservation was cancelled the day of with no explanation and calls and text messages to the restaurant went unanswered. And still continue to be unanswered.

    An incredibly unforgettable night of absolutely amazing flavors, color and texture in every bite. Chef Pearl Steffie once again didn’t disappoint as the 10-Course Omakase was Devine.

    What a special experience - eat fish we ordered was delicious, the chunk steak skewers were our favorite. They were truly mindblowing and even my non-vegan partner was thoroughly impressed! The staff was so friendly and the space mirrored that of an extremely expensive sushi restaurant even though everything was reasonably priced. Because they take such great care, the wait time for the food was a bit longer than expected but it was worth the wait. The beer is always exceptional here too!

    Chef Pearl Steffie’s KUSAKI did not disappoint as the meal experience was outstanding. It was so impressive that I ordered the vegan steak entree not once, but twice. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone to enjoy, plant-based or otherwise. 5 Stars.

    I trued the 10 course omakase by the bar. It's amazing! Everything tastes good. The nigiri are like real fish. They had one dish that is "ribeye" which is very juicy. I like the silken tofu, avocado crispy rice, tuna roll, and crispy eggplant the most. The desert is a perfect ending. It seems like they make all the food in house. I don't know how they make it but definitely admire their creativity. Sake and Pinot noir is fantastic if you drink alcohol.

    I usually love Kusaki and was so sad when they were closing, but we went recently for a pop-up event and the quality and service had significantly changed. It’s still one of my favorite restaurants and I hope they are able to make a comeback!
