I want to give Mori another shot since they recently started allowing pictures. <br /><br />Still in terms of experience I don't even think Urasawa's old teacher Masa gives the same personal attention to each and every diner.<br /><br />I went to Sea Harbour for dim sum once right after it opened and I recall the food was quite good. Since I typically go to dim sum with my parents and being typical Asian parents felt it was too expensive compared to some of the other restaurants in the area.<br /><br />I have been considering going back as some of my friends have been agitating for a high end Chinese dinner with bird's nest, shark fin, and abalone.Epicuryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18202402318969816036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912629715405541739.post-47073262172386275622009-05-01T14:21:00.000-07:002009-05-01T14:21:00.000-07:00honestly man, i haven't found out yet! haha still ...honestly man, i haven't found out yet! haha still on a lookout.<br /><br />like i said, its hard to rate other sushi house having tasted urasawa's works. because he just inflated your taste for sushi by that much.<br /><br />and i feel that quality doesnt really have to come with price. when i was in college, the $3.89 pepperoni pizza that i always buy taste so much better than some $19 pizza in hollywood. haha.<br /><br />btw i was just reading on ur reviews on chinese restaurants. have u tried <br />Sea Harbour Seafood Restaurant? 3939 Rosemead Blvd<br />Rosemead, CA 91770<br />try it out, its very authentic, u can almost taste the "hongkongness" in its food. but the service can be nasty like u know it, and it can get pretty noisy to u if u're not used it.Hadinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912629715405541739.post-77620492748962417172009-05-01T13:29:00.000-07:002009-05-01T13:29:00.000-07:00Hey Hadi,

You definitely have valid points regarding. <br /><br />I like the fast pace as I tend to eat quickly though it is easy to see how that can feel stressful. I also found it strange Keizo-san didn't interact with the diners at the bar.<br /><br />I agree with you the experience is nowhere near Urasawa level. Urasawa-san is in a league of his own in terms of food, attention to detail, and for the personalized service. Of course that quality comes at a price, $120 for Zo versus $350 for Urasawa.<br /><br />As for the fish, it is basic and a bit repetitive but for the most part, I thought it was good straightforward sushi.<br /><br />Having been to Urasawa yourself, what would you say is number two in LA?Epicuryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18202402318969816036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912629715405541739.post-996029387846698472009-05-01T12:54:00.000-07:002009-05-01T12:54:00.000-07:00after reading your review, i actually did go and t...after reading your review, i actually did go and try out sushi zo. <br /><br />i feel that u're being too kind. you're right when you mentioned about fast pace sushi experience, but it really spoils the dining experience when u have to eat so fast with no interaction with the chef who is right in front of u.<br /><br />some dishes are worth noting, like the needlefish, the kani temaki too as u mentioned, the gunkan maki, and probably 1 or 2 more.<br /><br />the rest of the sushi has very ordinary taste. and i dislike the fact that they keep their uni in a translucent toppleware and put it in front of u, like reminding u that it's not "fresh".<br /><br />urasawa is definitely so much better. i think the reason why i couldnt rate sushi zo as a second to urasawa is because i have tasted urasawa's omakase prior to sushi zo. the overall dining experience is way off the charts from sushi zo's. urasawa san will interact with u, he will explain to u anything u want to know abt the dish, and the meat were all cut out from the original fish/meat, and not some prepared slices of fish/meat that they have prepared beforehand and put them in the fridge.<br /><br />and like u said, sushi zo lack some things to make each dish a unique taste, its like almost all of their dishes taste the same.<br /><br />bad.. just bad.. unlike urasawa..Hadinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912629715405541739.post-83334134102157475372009-04-02T12:04:00.000-07:002009-04-02T12:04:00.000-07:00I wish I could just reach out and grab those incre...I wish I could just reach out and grab those increbly tasty looking sushi.Sadaohttp://www.mysushiset.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912629715405541739.post-42726793920520432812009-03-19T07:31:00.000-07:002009-03-19T07:31:00.000-07:00ispeakfoodtooGlad you liked the review.

I definitely think Zo is worth a try.<BR/><BR/>Aaron:<BR/>Yeah a couple of pieces had a bit too much wasabi but I kind of like the sharp burn than comes with too much wasabi. In general my only complaint is they have a limited set of flavors to sauce their fish. They used that soy yuzu combination too many times to count but it tastes good so I really didn't mindEpicuryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18202402318969816036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912629715405541739.post-50281319178682084592009-03-18T23:22:00.000-07:002009-03-18T23:22:00.000-07:00Good to hear there's still a crowd at Zo.
