    $122.40 per person

    Kusaki x The Waterfront is a two-night collaborative dining experience bringing Kusaki’s celebrated vegan sushi to Venice. Led by multi–award-winning Chef Pearl Steffie, this intimate event showcases a thoughtfully curated tasting menu rooted in traditional Japanese techniques and elevated through bold, plant-forward creativity. Guests will enjoy a whole new multi-course progression featuring refined sushi, seasonal vegetables, and carefully composed warm dishes—each course designed to highlight balance, texture, and umami without compromise. Seating is intentionally staggered to create a relaxed, unrushed atmosphere that allows diners to fully engage with each dish and the story behind it. Hosted at The Waterfront Venice, this collaboration is a celebration of craftsmanship, sustainability, and community—offering a rare opportunity to experience Kusaki’s cuisine in an exclusive pop-up setting.

    The location was perfect, right on the boardwalk. Our server, Bo, was amazing! So attentive and helped us celebrate our bride (it was a bachelorette brunch). We went for the brunch buffet, and the food was great and had many options. There was a DJ when we went on Sunday, and the vibe was really fun.

    If the breakfast burrito wasn’t as good as it was. The review would be worse. Truly just go for the food because the service is below subpar

    In addition to the good drinks & food, I thought the overall customer service was great. One member of my party asked the managers about putting a specific NHL game on one of the TVs, and the woman who helped us went far above & beyond to try to find it for us. A couple others in my group asked about adjusting a fan we were near (due to the size of our group, our only table option was directly underneath a powerful fan), and again the person assisting was very kind and accommodating. We really appreciated the positive interactions!

    Everything was great - food, wait staff, drinks, service, locaiton. We happened to be there on Saturday which was their live DJ day, and it was a bit too loud for my family with grandparents with music blasting. I just didn't know so it was my bad. If you want some calmness just avoid Saturday. Other than that, we loved our experience there!!

    Definitely the right vibe for the weekend! Saturday and Sunday are lit. Best time to go is around 3 when the DJ starts but better to get there early to get a good spot and be there before the line starts

    It took over an hour to get one round of drinks from our server. She said the kitchen / bar lost our drink orders so we waited another 45 minutes to get our drinks and food. Nothing was comped for the horrible service and they tried to give us cookies instead lol.

    Great vibe! Loved the diverse crowd, daytime DJs, and fun outdoor seating. One of the best places I’ve found in LA for a relaxing weekend hang out! The servers were all very nice and food was excellent. The drinks were the only thing not that great - they need better quality wine options but other than that, this place is a 5/5!
