The best meal we've had in ages! - Edit
We went for the tasting menu that had been advertised when they first opened, to find that they had changed the menu and no longer offered it. However the waiter said he would select many dishes for the table. We had about 10 dishes between four of us. Everything they sent out was brilliant, and it came very quickly. There was barely a grain of rice left, we then had desert which was also great. My Lychee and Pear Tarte Tatinne was the best desert I have had in a long time. We didn't try the sushi, but we will definitely go back to do so!

Disappointing - Edit
We had a disappointing meal at Kusaki. Although we had booked and requesting dining room we were placed in the bar at a table with everyone backs to us which was not very atmospheric. The food itself was either bland or really salty. Not worth the money.

Average - Edit
Good service, nice venue, food lacked flavour. We ordered 7 items and three cocktails. The items that stood out were the deconstructed cheesecake and sesame greens. The sushi was poor (you'd be better off going to itsu). Boa buns really not good.

Good ambience, tasty food, but needs a little something extra - Edit
Very nicely styled interior, everything from the paintings on the wall to the fine cutlery and glassware was clearly thought about.
Read moreStaff are very friendly and attentive.
Food was generally good and you can tell it's all high quality ingredients, but the food just lacked a little more of a punch. Yes, the flavours are intentionally delicate but whilst on some dishes that balance was perfect (Dashi Tofu, Sesame Greens), on some others it just felt something was lacking.
Cocktails are interesting, very delicate but tasty, and on the run up to Xmas definitely recommend the Wabi Sabi, very Xmas vibes!

Not quite what we were expecting - Edit
We ordered a few small plates and said that we would like these first for starters, and we also ordered our 'main' from the large plates. But everything came out tipsy turvy as the food was cooked, mains first, starters next, then then the pickles. I understand that some fast food places do serve dishes as they are cooked, but this was different as we wanted the lighter dishes before the heavy flavoursome Katsu Curry, and we just hadn't expected it from a place like Kusaki. Had we'd been told at the time of ordering then we could have amended our choices but we were not. We were expecting more of a fine dining experience, but we felt rushed, and unfortunately unable to appreciate each dish especially the lighter dishes after the flavours of the Katsu.
Read moreWe were disappointed at the quality of the dishes, the sushi was mushy as was the breaded sweet potato, the tempeh was tough and bland, and the shockingly tiny amount of tofu tasted like tempeh. Overall we left feeling that the evening hadn't gelled together very well and that we'd paid a rather expensive bill for a fast food experience were the food seemed dressed up.
Pros: Fully staffed , Nice decor
Cons: Overpriced, Uncomfortable seating

Amazing new vegan sushi in Brighton - Edit
An absolutely delicious dinning experience. We booked two seats at the bar and absolutely loved it. We ordered the kimichi & quinoa gyoza and thr dashi tofu to start. Both dishes were delicious and the kimichi gyoza was some of the best gyoza I've had. We also ordered the 20 piece sushi sharing platter and were blown away by the range of nigri and maki. All the sushi was incredibly fresh and I loved the original take on the different roles. Also loved the interior design of the restaurant, very modern and peaceful. Would recommend this place for a nice dinner, date night or special evening.
