What Gladyce Friesen doesn't like about Kusakabe:
Food and service were great. However, we were very surprised that we were limited to fixed price menus, both of which were extremely expensive. There was no indication of this on Open Table, and we would have picked a much less expensive restaurant had we known this was the case. We felt a bit duped. View all feedback. What Michael Schuett likes about Kusakabe:
Wow! This is an amazing culinary experience. Every bite is different and delicious. Presentation and service are as exceptional as the flavor. Overall, one of the best meals of my life. View all feedback.

The omakase experience at Kusakabe is truly exceptional, with perfectly executed dishes that showcase the freshness of the fish and the skill of the chefs.
