I have been to Kushi multiple times and quality of the food and service has been top notch each time. You will receive a very enthusiastic welcome/goodbye when you come in and leave, but aside from that the atmosphere of the restaurant is quite calm. There are many choices and the "Kushi meal" which is 4 courses that you can choose is quite filling if you are up for it. Enjoyed my experience and it is the best replacement since Sasaya was sold so many years ago.
