When eating the nigiri sushi, beware! They put a heap of wasabi right in the middle and if you're not used to it, it can drive you into mild shock.
Nigiri sushi here is very fresh and delicious. However, the Dynamite Roll is not your typical spicy shrimp tempura & tuna roll—it's a spicy tuna roll with a greasy shrimp sauce on top. Like nachos 😫.
The fact that this place has been around for 10+ years speaks to its adherence to quality and value. Try the a la carte nigiri!
Sushi Zo might be simple, spartan, and minimal in decor, but the pristine fish served as sashimi and nigiri is anything but. The prices can ratchet up with rare and unique cuts of fish.
Pay respect to tradition; eat the nigiri with you hands. They may serve you more than the fixed menu — they did for us.
The party sashimi platter might be the best deal on the menu. Excellent Spanish mackerel nigiri.
The rice was the star, as it should be with sushi. The nigiri was fantastic.
Delicious eggplant and other veggie dishes. The rolls are quite nice as well
Not super impressed with nigiri =(
Kinnedai white ponzu 😋nigiri platter 👍🏼 cajun crab roll 😋😋
Try the chefs choice, he's go great taste! Excellent food, well presented. Nice atmosphere
Get the Toro Nigiri, Main Lobster Roll, and Salmon Skin Roll! OH MY GOD! Delicious!!!!
The yellow tail was fantastic and the portions of fish on all the nigiri were generous. Also the black snapper with a little shiso leaf under it was great.
The gorgeous shrimp hand roll and bscr are bomb dot com!!!
The omakase menu includes classic nigiri pieces such as maguro and toro, in addition to butterfish, albacore and yellowtail. Prices are high to match the quality, upwards of $200 a person.
Though largely overshadowed by the popular omakase dinner, the lunch special (miso soup, salad, sushi bowl, three pieces of nigiri and a hand roll) is worth the hassle of finding midday parking.
Lunch special is $22 and incl. chirashi, some nigiri, crab roll, and soup/salad. They were quite elusive about it, so you likely won't find it on the menu. It wasn't offered to us, but we knew to ask.
been to many sushi place and this is the first that use wasabi grounded from raw wasabi. go figure how legit this place is. try the engawa nigiri. it's not on the menu, so ask for it.
One of the best all around meals I've ever had and somehow also one of the most reasonable. Got the 10 pc nigiri w/ tuna roll and the toro and everything couldn't have been fresher and more delicious.
Both the chirashi and sashimi lunch specials are great and so much food! Get the sashimi if you want more fish. Gets very crowded around 12:30.
Happy Hour (5-7pm) at Casa Del Mar hotel. Rolls for $2, Nigiri $4, Edamame $2, Oysters for $4, Specialty Cocktails- $5. Amazing deal and the sushi is pretty darn good.
Try the sampler meal where you have a 5 course mini meal & you will be satisfied! I couldn't finish mine. It was all delicious!!!
Great views and ambience, check it out for happy hour for a sunset snack and drink.
You MUST try the Albacore belly nigiri!
Absolutely fabulous Sushi! Make a reservation as it's hard the get in.
Oh my God. The fusion sushi is outrageous here. Must must visit. Foie Gras rolls, truffle Toro nigiri, etc all excellent
Their ankimo (monkfish liver) is delicious and the grilled calamari has plenty of tentacles!
Get the Nozawa for dinner, which is ideal for two people to share. A good variety of sushi, with the blue crab hand roll and scallop nigiri as definite standouts.
The sushi is really the best, the way they cook the rice is especially amazing..
Trust Me for lunch. Nozawa for dinner.
Have no regrets for coming ! Amazing fresh fish! Simple but awesome taste of each nigiri!
Disappointing Trust Me. Found bones, scales, and crab shell in my food. Used too much ponzu sauce, not very creative and overpowered the fish. Nigiri: fish too cold, rice too warm, rice fell apart.
Delicious and simple sushi (no deep fried rolls with mayonnaise!) for a reasonable price.
Nigiri sushi is great. Tempura is awesome too.
The Saba nigiri was so incredible. Rich and almost sweet, melt in your mouth good! Shout out to the chef with the hip blue glasses that served us at the bar!
So good. So cheap. The tempura is lovely and the sushi rolls are the perfect size! CASH ONLY! There is an ATM inside.
Try the Nigiri Plate - Fantastic. (via @Foodspotting)
Sushi selection is good and well presented. Burger is tops and the salad offerings are nicely done. Overall the menu offers a satisfactory selection and fits on one page.
Best food in LA open until 11PM on weekdays
The set menu changes daily according to Fujita and Nozawa's market finds, and consists of purist nigiri, sushi, and hand-rolls. Read more.
The adventurous meal is well worth its pricey tag. Expect pristine quality seafood like live octopus, monkfish liver, and several preparations of uni. Also, maybe the best toro you've ever tried.
The esprit of Nozawa lives on at this smaller, more intimate sushi bar behind the Sugarfish in Beverly Hills, where a fixed omakase gets served with extreme precision. Quality of fish is top notch.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
