Unbelievable plant based sushi experience in a beautiful setting with great service. All of the dishes on the menu are wonderful and worth trying. Maria and Angel are so friendly and professional. We are so disappointed the restaurant has decided to close the end of this month. There is nothing else like it in Los Angeles.

Had an amazing meal last night at Kusaki, shared with friends. Everything was incredible, but an extra gold star for the Miso Brownie dessert - one of the best deserts I've ever had, ever! So good we a thinking of another quick meal before they close later this month. Highly recommended for a unique vegan experience with great service and beautiful food.
