Our mission is to provide pure, plant-powered meals that are good for your body. Our approach is knowledgeable, playful, and engaging. We offer a unique opportunity to experience a different way of eating vegetables and discover new flavours and textures. Talented chefs behind Food For Friends restaurant (established in 1981 as Brighton’s first vegetarian restaurant), Botanique (Hove’s exclusive plant based restaurant) and Wolfox Coffee have put together their experience and knowledge to bring you this new Asian inspired plant based concept.

The result is a creative and colourful menu which shows organic plant-based food can lead to surprising, healthy and mindful new eating experiences. We believe in an upgraded casual dining experience in beautiful light-filled spaces dedicated to natural plant-based food and organic wines.

As a vegan it's always nice to go to a fully vegan restaurant, especially when the food is so great. We had the seaweed crackers and bento boxes and they were delicious! The waitress was also lovely- very friendly and welcoming.

Great food, great service. wide range of options, amazing flavour combinations! Can't help but think this would be impossible to get a booking for if more people knew about it. Really recocomend the smoked aubergine, mushroom karrage, the radish dish and the soba noodles. Everything exceeded expectations

We had an amazing dinner at kusaki. The food is so, so good. We were literally blown away by most of the dishes! The decor is beautiful, simple and tasteful, the lighting is just right. Perfect attention from Alex who was serving us. It was reasonably expensive, however we did over order a bit. This is my choice of restaurant for special occasion or a very nice lunch. Most of the menu is gluten free or can be, so tonnes of choice for me. I Highly recommend you go and experience it for yourself...

The food was spectacular. The staff were friendly. The downside was that they had run out of sake. On a Friday night. In a Japanese restaurant. That sold cocktails almost exclusively with sake in. But the food was delicious, so I’d go again!

Our family, including our 3 month old twin grandchildren were warmly welcomed for a birthday lunch. We were given a window table with plenty of space for the buggy, and the waiter took great care to provide something suitable to warm the bottles of milk. Meanwhile the adults could relax and enjoy the delicious, innovative fresh food. The Bento box is very good value, while the tofu and cracker nibbles and drunken rice were sublime.
