    ok food with terrible service. Restaurant is quite noisy it's hard to hear the food introductions by the waiters, which is fine. But what I can't accept is that one of the waiters really RUSH too leave even before finish introducing the food. I've never seen this type of service anywhere to be honest, not to mention a restaurant with such a price tag.

    This place takes service to the next level! From the moment you walk in the door and are greeted by all the staff, to the servers who sense your requests before being asked, to the quality and preparation of the courses offered, to the personal interaction with the sushi chef...it's not cheap, but it's worth the price we paid for the experience.

    Always a treat to come to Kusakabe. Staff is showing so much hospitality and the food is absolutely delicious. Highest quality ingredients (mostly from Toyosu market), prepared in an impeccable manner. Continuous to be our go to spot for Japanese (Kyoto) food in the city.

    Kusakabe has the best omakase in SF. Their Zoe Chutoro, Cherry smoked bonito, and wagyu are delicate, delicious, and flavorful.

    Amazing food and the best service I have had. Probably could have done the smaller option as it was a ton of food
