High-end fully plant-based Japanese Omakase sushi bar opened Jan 2023. Inconspicuous with no signage so it's easy to miss. Note Mar 2025: No longer open daily, but still using the space for pop-up events. Check IG or call for info.

The best sushi restaurant in LA !? - Edit
I think so! I’ve been to Shojin and Ma-Kin and Kusaki definitely takes the cake for best sushi restaurant! I love all the veggie sushi and the mock meat sushi they have. It’s pretty pricey, but the quality definitely makes up for that. :)
Read moreAlso, apparently the two head chefs used to work at Nobu and at a Michelin Star restaurant — It definitely shows with the fancy ambience and the quality of food!
Would def come back for a special occasion! So glad that this is here.
Pros: All vegan , Plants a tree every time you go
Cons: Really, *really* expensive

my new fave date place! - Edit
i went here for my birthday with my partner and i loved it!
Read morevery 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.
limited parking out front & right next to 7/11.
there is an area that is surrounded by windows to sit or you can sit inside of that or call to reserve omakase a the bar. def want to try omakase!
Pros: all vegan!, gorgeous, moody interior, delicious sushi
Cons: limited parking out front

Everything was fantastic. The owner, Jade, was generous with his time to explain the sushi making process and the wait staff were very knowledgeable.

Wow! Amazing vegan sushi! - Edit
Kusaki has delicious nigiri sushi,sashimi, and rolls. People have also been talking about how good their burger is and I agree that it is very good. The burger reminds me of a green chile burger.
Read moreThe sushi chefs are very skilled. You can tell that they have spent many years making sushi. Rice is seasoned well and they have the right ratio of rice. The nori is crispy and fresh. They put the perfect amount of wasabi and sauce on the nigiri and rolls. I’ll be coming back many more times. #Veganuary
Pros: Great customer service
Cons: Expensive
