Our mission is to provide pure, plant-powered meals that are good for your body. Our approach is knowledgeable, playful, and engaging. We offer a unique opportunity to experience a different way of eating vegetables and discover new flavours and textures. Talented chefs behind Food For Friends restaurant (established in 1981 as Brighton’s first vegetarian restaurant), Botanique (Hove’s exclusive plant based restaurant) and Wolfox Coffee have put together their experience and knowledge to bring you this new Asian inspired plant based concept.

The result is a creative and colourful menu which shows organic plant-based food can lead to surprising, healthy and mindful new eating experiences. We believe in an upgraded casual dining experience in beautiful light-filled spaces dedicated to natural plant-based food and organic wines.

    Mostly delicious food - no sacrifice on flavour or texture for it being vegan which makes it a great destination for a mixed party of vegans/non-vegans (like ours). The cocktails and mocktails were also very good. The only slightly odd notes were the absence of a wine list and only one sake (and only two cups available to drink it from?!) Service was very friendly, if a little slow, but overall a very enjoyable experience and we will be back.

    Food very good although there were a lot of dishes unavailable - not just the odd one or two that one might expect but so many we couldn't remember them all! But what we had was good. Not many people there for a Saturday evening and it didn't feel as slick as previous visits. Hopefully it's just a blip and it's not going downhill.

    First off the door and windows were filthy when walking in. Server who showed us to our table didn’t have a nice attitude. Tall guy who took our orders was really nice, but quite untrained in how to act and respond. Food came and was really lacklustre for the pictures I had seen online. Tempura veg was the highlight because you couldn’t really go wrong with it. Bland curry sauce, hardly any in the dish, with slimy unseasoned steamed veg on top. Over seasoned oyster mushrooms which were really good once you had some rice with them to balance out the salt. I wanted to give 1 star but felt really bad for the service team as they were obviously trying, but had no real supervision or training. Sorry to the guys at Kusaki, but my expectations were unreasonably high, however even then, this was an actively bad experience.

    Pretty expensive and not very nice. We complained about the not-fresh edamame, and the manager just came back with the same plate and pretended it was new !!!! Also, told us that “that’s how edamame is meant to taste” - to me it was overcooked and chewy, not how I’ve ever had it. Generally quite disappointed in the food. Seemed like I would get fresh, delicately balanced flavours from the reviews. On eating there, it was mostly over salted, too oily and too buttery, not the flavours I usually get from a Japanese meal. Also strange that we were forced to have that edamame even after asking it to be taken away. Lovely space and vibe, just a shame they are cutting corners with the quality of the food. I’ve never had a yakisoba quite like that…

    We were disappointed with our experience. Felt the food was overpriced for what we got and lacking flavour. We haven’t got big appetites, but were left feeling hungry after spending over £100! Waitress was “awkward” and not very friendly. In fact didn’t really utter many words at all. We eat at plant based restaurants regularly and sadly this has been one of the most disappointing meals we have had.
