Why Sushi Zo Rules

My friend Rio introduced me to the mouthwatering gastronomical delight known as Sushi Zo. Just how wickedly good is Zo? It's Zo good I want to do cartwheels....which is more like a half somersault since my hand-feet coordination is less than desirable. My boyfriend, on the other hand, could probably complete an elegant somersault...possibly a back flip. That's how good the Omikase is at Zo.

The restaurant is located in Palms, in a somewhat sketchy area. You'll find ample parking in the strip mall connected to Rite Aid. Zo has received a multitude of kudos from Yelpers. One afficionado from North Hollywood listed the delectable bites (the Omikase selection changes):

*oyster

*hamachi

*abalone

*baby squid

*tuna

*baby scallop

*albacore

*golden eye snapper

*spanish mackerel

*cod fish milt (cod sperm)

*butterfish

*monkfish liver

*salmon with shaved seaweed and fresh ginger

*needlefish

*halibut with salt and lemon

*sweet shrimp

*orange clam

*yellowtail

*pompano

*yellow striped jack

*red snapper

*taro tuna
*duo of salmon roe and sea urchin

*blue crab hand roll

*eel

*sweet, refreshing yuzu drink.
