Good, but comparatively pricy

I went all in when I visited and ordered many different kinds of sushi (didn’t take a picture of all). Taste was good but pieces were way smaller and prices quite a bit higher than in other places in the city. Was a good option to try once (especially for the non-standard vegan options), but would only go there again on a special occasion.

Fully Vegan Sushi

Tasty entirely vegan Japanese joint. Some items (maki especially) too pricy. Noodle/fried rice options definitely more budget friendly. Nice ambiance.

Superb Japanese dishes in a stylish setting

So glad to have found this fully vegan Japanese restaurant in Bukit Bintang - extremely good, would strongly recommend! The decor is very classy yet inviting, and the menu has extensive choices of sushi, ramen, rice and much more. I went with my non-vegan friend and we both loved all the dishes especially the Popcorn Mushroom. They also have delectable desserts, we had the tiramisu and matcha cupcake! One thing to watch out for - if you can’t tolerate high spice be careful with the ramen!

Pros: Massive menu, Beautiful aesthetic, High-quality, healthy and delicious

100% recommendation!!! SO good!!

I went there twice and would come again every time again being in KL.
They have a large menu of 100% vegan dishes.
Very tasteful, can be spicy if you want (they ask from 1-5 and 5 is spicy !!).
The prices for KL are more in the middle section but for that quality definitely ok.
check the pictures, there is a lot to try! also they have a few really delicious desserts. staff is very nice and helpful. the place itself is peaceful even when crowded.

Pros: all of the food i tried , deserts , atmosphere

It was the kinda heat I was coughing before the spoon touched my lips from the vapor! It was awesome. But nothing compares to the deliciousness of 上頂皇家素食水煎包. Which looks like she may have expanded a little. Can't wait to be back.

「蔬食もの - 最高

街の中心部にある、私が滞在している場所の近くにある質素なカフェでおいしい食事をとれて幸せです。かつて、ビーガン活動には時と場所があり、私と同じ考えを持たない人を批判すべきではないと愚かな人が言っていました。でも、正直言って、私は人がどう思うかなんて気にしません。好きなら、一日中赤ちゃん動物を殺すことを空想してください。それがあなたの地獄です。賢く行動してください。野菜を食べてください。ここの食べ物は最高です。

an absolute gem

kusa is classy, ridiculously value-for-money, and serves incredibly good japanese food. everything was so good, but the stand-outs for me were the spongy tofu and mango sushi 🤤 would come back here again in a heartbeat.

Pros: incredible food, value-for-money, friendly staff

Awesome

Eating in Japan as a vegetarian wasn’t an easy task, so it was a delight to enjoy this place. Great menu, well prepared and delicious food. Only thing missing was a Japanese beer!

Pros: Food came quickly , Great menu, Delicious food

Cons: Couldn’t get a Japanese beer

Incredible food

Easily THE best vegan Japanese I have experienced out of Japan. Hip space with an extensive menu covering everyone’s Japanese favourites.

We arrived fairly late so didn’t have the luxury of time on our side. Kitchen cut off is strictly 9:30pm so arrive early because it takes time to work through the massive menu and make choices.

Recommend the mango sushi and crispy tofu but I could easily eat anything from this menu.

Delightful Food, Though A Bit Pacey

The food here more than justifies it’s high rating as it was super fresh and incredibly tasty. The edamame were as salty as they should have been, the miso had great depth, the spongy tofu and mushroom popcorn were crispy without being overly oily, the Kusa ramen was fragrant and the tempeh fried rice had a great kick to it (spice level four) and excellent flavour. Of the sushi and the hand roll, my particular favourite was the inari, though none of them disappointed. The desserts were a slight enigma. I really enjoyed them…I think! The crème brûlée cheesecake was a bit of an oddity, but in a good way. The salted gula melaka was the superior of the two ice creams.
I would say my only minor criticism of this place was that nearly all my dishes came out at once. While I’m certainly not one to complain about masses of food being at my disposal, I would have liked them to have been a little more spaced out. That being said, I would have zero qualms about returning here, especially given the price.

Second visit in a week 👌

Had to visit again while in KL, amazing food, ambience and staff. Tonight we had totally different dishes to the first time and again, they were outstanding. Do not miss this place if you are in KL 👌

Lovely food in a modern setting

Went for a quick lunch. Had the black pepper tofu bowl, fried tempeh and wakame.
Bear in mind that they close at 3 for lunch and last orders are about half an hour before.

Tasty food + Excellent Customer service

We walked in and were greeted by a very warm environment. Place is very classy and clean. Waiters (Hussain) was very polite and friendly to talk to. Food is amazing and by far the best vegan sushi you will find in this country. Portion however is not worth the price. Small portions for expensive prices. Probably won’t return again because of the steep cost.

Pros: Warm environment , Can make special request on orders , Restaurant is entirely vegan

Cons: VERY Expensive , There is a daily break from 3-5pm (Not open), SMALL PORTIONS.

Best vegan restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

This was probably the best vegan restaurant I have ever been to. The place has a lovely interior and wonderful staff that welcome you as soon as you enter. The menu was gorgeously presented and had an insane amount of options it was hard to choose! We ended up having edamame, battered mushrooms, sushi, mushroom jjijiang rice, and a spicy ramen. For dessert we had tiramisu and a chocolate cupcake. Everything was absolutely delicious. 100% recommend if in Kuala Lumpur! Also located right near Pavilion shopping centre.

Solid Choice for Japanese-Inspired Cuisine

For those interested in Japanese-inspired dining options, Kusa presents a noteworthy option. As a frequent patron over the years, I've found their offerings to be reliably good and consistent in quality. The menu, which leans more towards Japanese-inspired than authentic traditional Japanese, has enough variety to keep things interesting. The atmosphere of the place is pleasant, and the staff are generally welcoming, adding to the overall dining experience. It's a solid choice for anyone looking to explore a range of flavours in a comfortable setting. A standout has been the spicy ramen, which consistently impresses with its robust flavours.

Nice Restaurant

The mixed sushi plate was so good! We also tried dry noddles which were good and the Kisune Ramen which were decent. Spicy Level 3 was REALLY spicy, i would recommend less.
The tiramisu was delicious.
Staff was friendly and attentive.

Great experience head to toes

We visited it two times, most impressive experience in Kuala Lumpur for us. Meals are amazing, staff is very friendly and concentrated on their visitors. They checked all our marks for a high level dining experience. We recommend to take at least 5 course meal if you are hungry. Our average check for a family was 220 RM

Pros: Trained staff , Beautiful food, Private atmosphere

Attitude

Wasn’t good enough for all the attitude they served! Bad hospitality and the portions were small. It tasted okay but not to the level they act like their food tastes lol. Still happy to go since there aren’t many fully vegan restaurants in Kuala Lumpur and one of them already gave us food poisoning the night before.
