As of 2025, Kusaki has partially closed but intermittently will offer pop-up dinners from the same space.
You won’t believe your eyes or taste buds at this vegan sushi restaurant, where a tapioca-based fish substitute expertly mimics nigiri and sashimi within the city's first plant-based omakase. Kusaki also offers an à la carte menu that includes crowd-pleasers like avocado crispy rice bites, crispy garlic “tuna” sashimi and portobello mushroom fries. Though the minimalist design does its best to conjure up a sleeky, au courant L.A. restaurant, the atmosphere does little to disguise the fact you're eating next to a 7-11. Alongside tapioca-based creations, you’ll also find more overtly veggie-based, delicious sushi options made with trumpet mushroom and sweet corn in a flavorful meal that would surprise the most dubious omnivore.
