About

KushiMaru is a go-to for late-night Japanese cravings in the city. Fans love the yakitori and the cozy izakaya vibe, which feels like a slice of Japan. While many find the food delicious and the staff friendly, others have noted that portion sizes have shrunk and prices have crept up. It is a solid choice for a casual night out, though the self-ordering system can be a bit impersonal.
