Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
KUSAKABE offers an extraordinary dining experience with "impeccable service," "exquisite flavors," and "sublime" sushi artistry. Guests rave about the chef's skill and attentiveness, the delightful ambiance, and the meticulously prepared omakase menu. While the price reflects the quality, the memorable "culinary journey" justifies the expense. Ideal for special occasions.

    Each year, I enjoy the dining experience of the prior 11 months. KUSAKABE is a marriage of art and food. I know to remember carefully each dish since the next will be so extraordinary that if all senses are not fully engaged for each taste, it might be forgotten for the next extraordinary taste. In 2025, my objective is to dine at least three times at this rarefied gift

    Had such a wonderful anniversary dinner here. Such delicious variety of dishes in the petite omakase and service was top notch. The trout and bluefin were standouts. Will have to come back for full omakase
