   Undoubtedly the best restaurant in San Francisco, not just Sushi. Also the third service beats any Michelin star restaurants.

   The best sushi in San Francisco with Kyoto style Omakase inspired by Kaiseki cuisine. The nigiri is garnished with flavor enhancers like shaved truffle or egg yolk and the fish are perfectly aged to bring out peak flavor and texture.

   Great food! Wonderful sushi chefs explaining what is served! Good selection of interesting sake, wine, etc. But bait & switch on the menu. There is only one option: full omakase. KusaKabe needs to be more clear when $ and calories are involved. 5 star is possible if this is fixed.

    This is perhaps the best sushi place I have ever been, and I am a frequent visitor to Japan. The omasake was just impeccable. Fish was so fresh and was elegantly presented. Highly recommended.

    Amazing and incredible experience. Best Omakase I’ve tried in San Francisco with the freshest, most delicious fish. A real treat. Ambiance was warm and inviting. Expert sushi chefs and impeccable service makes me look forward to the next time I come back again. As close to perfection as it can get. Thank you Kusakabe, for the unforgettable birthday dinner!

    Amazing in every way! It’s a small venue with a large sitting bar to watch the chefs work and also serve the beautiful, amazing food. Very attentive staff, who explained the menus and sake menu very clearly. It wasn’t cheap but it was worth every cent. I’ll be back!

    We had the petit omakase dinner at $95. Tuna and Japanese bonito were standouts in an premium selection of fresh and delicious fish. Presentation and service were excellent. Top notch sake, wine, and beer selection. Recommend sitting at the bar. Parking is difficult but there’s an evening deal at the Hilton for $5 flat fee. Not sure if it’s weekdays only.

    Food was great. Just a little bothered that all 4 sushi plates was wiped with same cloth consecutively before washing considering two plates were from diners we don’t know. Since my plate was last, the cloth wiping my sushi plate had just touched 3 others. Each time sushi was served, we would eat it with our chopsticks, and all of our sushi plates would be wiped by the same cloth. Simply put, the cloth touched another diners used plate and directly wiped my plate before cloth was washed. This happens for each course. To me this is a hygienic issue.

    We were gifted a gift certificate for this restaurant and did not know anything about it. What a spectacular dinner we had! We had the owner as our sushi chef and were amazed by the detail of each dish. This was our 10 year anniversary and there were so many special touches the entire night. The 11 course meal with sake pairing, ended up being close to 20 items. We hope to be able to visit Kusakabe again. Sitting at the sushi bar is the best way to experience this restaurant.

    Kusakabe has completely lost their way. The dishes are very mixed in terms of quality. This restaurant is rapidly deteriorating in quality - thus why they have 1000 point tables available all the time. Avoid!

    From start to finish KUSAKABE was fantastic, our reservation was confirmed when we walked in and we were seated immediately. Once we sat down menus were presented and drink orders were taken. We were then greeted by our Sushi Chef, he was friendly and explained every item as they were presented to us. Everything was delicious and the staff was great! I wholeheartedly recommend visiting KUSAKABE for a special event or date night. Definitely will be coming back again when I get the chance!

    The food was spectacular, as always. Matt Oka was our sushi-san and her created a perfect meal. The sushi smoked with cedar wood ( by charing the wood slab while the sushi was on it) was amazing. Take the wine or sake pairing. KUSAKABE is one of my favorite places.

    Did not serve any drinks (incl water) until end of second course despite us asking 3 times. Three different waiters served us throughout, all of them confused and awkward — asked to confirm orders multiple times. Very long wait times between dishes — by the end we were exhausted and wanted to leave. Was there for a birthday; confirmed this on the phone with restaurant beforehand — they served birthday cake to the two tables around us but not to us (embarrassingly for me taking my wife out for her birthday meal). Sushi was good but not exceptional; had better for much less elsewhere in SF. For the price, definitely not worth the visit.
