K-Zo, Downtown Culver City


Ok, I'm not going to lie- Ever since I ate at Sushi Zo, I'm such a sushi snob. Unfortunately that means it's increasingly difficult to find an enjoyable sushi restaurant unless there's something unique that sets it apart (i.e., sparkling sake or something of the sort.)

Anyways, K-Zo. Located nearby, which is always a plus, and free parking. Again, a plus. Sushi wise, it was about average. I think I enjoyed their cooked dishes a bit more. We tried the steak, which was delicious, popcorn shrimp and popcorn chicken (Fried = Yum). And also the softshell crab. I mean you can't really mess-up fried food, but hey, if it tastes good than that's always additional brownie points.

They also had some interesting drinks. The best I saw, was the self-squeeze grapefruit soju drink. If you're willing to put a little work into it, it's worth it. Fresh grapefruit in soju is pretty tasty, and now you know it's fresh.

Overall, I'd probably rate it a B-. Cute decor, cute drink ideas, but if you're really looking for some good sushi, try Sushi Zo instead.
