KUSAKABE San Francisco Reviews
My favorite omakase experience in SF so far! Service was
My favorite omakase experience in SF so far! Service was amazing, all the fish choices were delicious, and the chefs were very friendly and accommodating when we asked questions. I started to get full so they accommodated having less rice in my nigir
Another solid omakase spot in the city.
My partner took me here for my birthday dinner, and it did not disappoint. The place feels nice and intimate. We were seated at the end of the counter but could still see a lot of the food preparation during the service. We did the 18 course omakas
came here for a friend's birthday.
i love sushi jin down in mountain view and jin-san used to work at kusakabe so i had high expectations. all 6 of us had the regular omakase. chawanmushi was very well done, greatly enjoyed the layer of dashi and ikura. some of the ikura were a little
This was my third visit to Kusakabe, and it was just as
This was my third visit to Kusakabe, and it was just as excellent as the first two. Each time I've come here, the food has been consistently outstanding - fresh, beautifully presented, and prepared with such precision. The omakase flows perfectl
Overall - solid experience.
Amazing staff - and prompt service. Did the full omakase - and 80% was excellent. Truly fantastic. Highlights were the wagyu miso. The challenge is the 20% that wasn't good - was terribly not good. Smoked flavors overpowered several dishes - oct
Late review but had a memorable and delectable birthday
Late review but had a memorable and delectable birthday omakase at this Michelin- star studded restaurant last year. First off make reservations in advance. Next, expect a bit of a splurge at $200 per person for a delicious 18-course meal. Lastly
Every dish was a hit! Yoshiki helped our table and was such
Every dish was a hit! Yoshiki helped our table and was such a blessing--he was incredibly knowledgeable and described each dish perfectly. My personal favorites were the lightly seared tuna and the wagyu. That light sear added a subtle smoky flavor,
Omokase and sake pairing is definitely worth it.
I had the unagi after and I really liked how they flamed it to add a texture I was definitely not expecting. Very nicely done.
Best sushi in SF
They have the best sushi in SF and one of the best sushi places I have been to outside of Japan. Highly recommend them. Kuzakabe (the owner) used to be the Executive Chef at Sushi Ran. I have been eating his sushi for the past 18 years!
Great food, did the omakase experience and loved the dishes.
The servers are very attentive as we sat at a table and they paid close attention to when we finished a dish to bringing the next one out. I wish reservations offered a table or counter seating option as they just say it's a first come first se
simply can not rave about this restaurant enough.
It was my first time here and it defintetly not be my last! From the moment you walk in and get greeted by the staff and sushi chefs, to the servers meticuosly clearing dishes and plates, you feel very welcomed. The food was so well prepared, fres

Fine Japanese cuisine in Sf
Used to be my favorite Japanese restaurant and still is. Although it has undergone some changes in recent years, the quality stays top, especially if you could have Chef Kusakabe at your service. Their style is inclining toward Kyoto cuisine and sush
Dinner
KUSAKABE offers a decent dining experience, but it doesnโt quite live up to expectations. The food is good, though not exceptional, and the sake is just average. What stands out is the excellent serviceโattentive and professional. Sitting at the
Great service, some dishes were better than othersโฆ
We had been looking forward to a new Omakase experience with anticipation. We opted for the 18 dishes menu and in retrospect should have gone with the 12 though it did not include the beef. Not that there was too much food but that since you do not k
Half kaiseki half sushi Omakase experience
Service was very good, all the servers that brought out the dishes and sushi described everything that was being served. After you finish with your current course they clear your table expeditiously and serve the next course soon after so youโre no
Overrated, condescending, and poor quality.
Overrated. Condescending. Food quality poor. Never again. After my reservation, they sent me a detailed questionnaire on diet and preferences. Yet they ignored everything I wrote, including allergies. Then when serving me mushrooms and gluten (
Connect with users posting reservations for KUSAKABE San Francisco
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with KUSAKABE San Francisco. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to KUSAKABE San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the KUSAKABE San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at KUSAKABE San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at KUSAKABE San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
