I've never written a food review but must express my opinion about my experience at a heralded "high-end" Culver City sushi bar. Sushi Zo's assembly line omakase dining experience would make Toyota proud. Rarely looking up other than to yell "Soy sauce" or "No soy sauce" as each dish was pushed before us, the three sushi chefs worked like automatons cutting fish and preparing each plate. I find this atmosphere forced and pressurized: the "eat and get out so the next suckers can eat and get out" style of dining. Although much... read more
Can you say ? Omakostly! – After reading a ton of excellent reviews and hearing from a famous rock star and his Kool-Aid drinking girlfriend that - ?You?ll never want to eat sushi anywhere else again? our only option was to see for ourselves. Now, we weren?t going to make any quick judgments and let our initial reaction of walking into a restaurant that seemed as bright as the GAP sway our opinion about the freshness of the fish so we continued ? with an open mind of course. We truly believed we were in for the best sushi me... read more
Best Sushi in LA! – My husband and I like to consider ourselves sushi connoisseurs, and to say that Sushi Zo has the best sushi in LA is no joke. I promise you, if you go for omakase, you will taste some of the freshest, most tender, impeccably cut and flavorful sushi of your life! Ever morsel will melt in your mouth! And trust me, we've been to some of what most would consider "the best" in LA, and it simply doesn't compare. While it is a little on the expensive side, the experience will prove to be well worth your time AND... read more
Sushi with a large side of Rude! – Sushi is good and expensive! I am told Omikasa is now the only option. You eat what he wants to serve you. That can be fun. The owner is always rude! He makes it look as though Nozawa is running a charm school. I am sorry, but when you spend $250 for lunch, I do not think a simple "good bye" or "thank you" is out of order. I have been to Sushi Zo about 10 times. Today was my last. This type of behavior should not be condoned or supported. I have learned my lesson. Having sushi is not just a... read more
Hidden gem, an amazing sushi restaurant! – So I lived in Japan for 14 years and I definitely consider myself a die hard sushi snob and this is my favorite restaurant in town hands down! I am so impressed with the quality of each piece of sushi plus the only thing TO order in a great SUSHI restaurant is OMAKASE and Zo knows how to do it right. The literal translation of omakase is "entrust" or "protect" and with each and every bite of amazing sushi that melts in my mouth, I feel like the chefs are delivering an amazing work o... read more
Sushi Zo is what true traditional sushi is all about. – Sushi Zo is not a place to go if you're looking for something fusion such as teriyaki bowl and dragon roll. Each piece of shshi is made with passion and each time spent there is just pure satisfaction.
Best/Overpriced Sushi – I?m glad I tried it, but I probably won?t go again cuz Once is enough. We had 2x $20 glasses sake and 1 bottle sake, 2 miso soups, 2 pieces each clam on a half shell, abalone, yellowtail amberjack sashimi, tuna, spanish mackerel, giant clam, toro, sweet shrimp, scallops, uni & salmon roe, egg, baby tuna, monkfish liver, albacore, halibut, salmon, red snapper, a hand roll (I forgot what kind of fish). Actually, I?m not totally sure about the last few pieces since I was already a little buzzed. they wer... read more
Best Sushi in Town!!!! – The people that have given Sushi Zo bad ratings are idiots. You obviously didn't read the card on each table explaining the proper way to eat sushi and sushi etiquette. It states that sushi should be eaten right away to ensure the best flavor and freshness of the fish. If it sits out too long the fish oils will dry out and the fish will not taste as good as it should. That is why they serve one piece at a time. It is for your eating pleasure. So plan on being there for a while, it is not a fast food ... read more
obnoxious, overrated, snobby - horrendous – the most snobby and obnoxious place in the city. these people have egos that are inflated based on zero substance. this restaurant is no matsuhisa or koi, they do not have the clout to be treating customers with such disrespect. they look down upon people and critique the way you eat their food. they do not allow people to enjoy eating sushi in the way they want to eat it, they tell you what to eat, how much to spend and it's not worth it. i would NEVER recommend this place in a mi... read more
