“ When it comes to sushi, Sushi Zo is definitely on the top of the list. Their rice portion and temperature is just perfect and the piece of fish is always presented amazingly. Be warned, they only serve omakase style. If you have never been I believe it is worth the visit. Due to the increased price I would have rated them 4.5 stars. ”

“ Arguably the best sushi restaurant in the world. K Zo, the chef who started this hole in the wall over a decade ago, now has others in DTLA, NYC, and plans are in the making for a new Sushi Zo in Dallas, TX. What you get is a 20 course Omakase. Each nugget a divine expression unto itself. From homemade Miso soup, to salmon sushi with a thin layer of seaweed gelee. Exquisite. The idea of filing up, one morsel at a time is executed with timing and leaves little room for mistakes. At Sushi Zo, there arent any. What do you pay for such an experience? About 200 a head. With equally amazing Sake and service, add another 100. Maybe this is the ultimate treat yourself Sushi experience. Its all about the food here. The restaurant itself is remarkably unassuming and simple. Enjoy. ”
“ An location more intimate that it might seem from its outside location and a meal worth every minute! Sushi Zo is a reservation only omakase sushi tasting menu. We were served 24 courses of sushi! They have a limited selection of Japanese beers and sake to enjoy with your meal if you desire. The fish was fresh and from all over the world. Sitting at the sushi counter allowed us to watch the chefs at their amazing work. The monkfish liver was a particular and unique to me delight. The staff was extremely attentive and I would highly recommend visiting! ”
