Jessica Toubol
We moved to the area recently and are very happy to have found this FANTASTIC restaurant. We love it! We have been there 4 times now and it is consistently delicious. Each new dish we’ve tried has been perfect and their Tarte Tatin dessert is so good! The apples are perfectly caramelized, which is not an easy thing to accomplish. The fresh mint and fruit garnish was hand-picked to perfection! We look forward to a future dinner experience there!

This is a horrible sushi place!! Girlfriend got food poisoning from fish. I should’ve known from walking into the place when it wasn’t crowded at night on a weekend not to go here. They can make a good crab roll, but the toro was disgusting. The baked crab roll was the worst I’ve had, and the rest of it not very good. The appetizer free little bowl they give you in the beginning is disgusting, everyone should be fired there. This place does not belong in Culver City. We need a good restaurant. I would recomend spending your money at a better place or at least one that won’t make you sick!!

Excellent sushi, odd patio, and great service! The sashimi was spectacular! The shochu cocktails were bright and fresh! We would definitely come back!

I went there for a business dinner and the food was pretty good. I had been here once before many years ago and I feel the food has remained the same. The food quality was pretty good I can’t say it is the best I have had. I had the Lobster roll, Dragon Roll and a few other things. Food taste I feel could be more flavor full in my opinion. The service was very good. The ambience I feel like it is getting bit old and needs some TLC. Three seems to be an Oder as you enter and things just are starting to look aged.

Cute place, convenient (although can be crowded during lunchtime rush) parking. Food was good, service was very hospitable. A little on the pricey side but I would definitely come back.

Quality sushi experience within a modern dining location. Came for DineLA and enjoyed the tasting appetizer the best out of all the items we ate although the fillet was also melt in your mouth.

I don’t know what happened here but the cuts of fish were very bad this visit. Maybe I am uncultured but I almost threw up in my mouth eating the Toro because it was so stringy. Also most of the other sushi was torch cooked, which is suspicious in my opinion. It’s not like the food was bad bad, but for 500$ I expect better.

We went back to K-ZO post-COVID quarantine and the food was exactly what we were looking for in high quality sushi. They did a great job of separating each of us in small tables outside and had a portable machine that we could dial into for service that reduced the staff’s exposure. Super duper recommend if you’re by Downtown Culver City.

Very good sushi here. Go on a Friday or Saturday for better sushi. Sit at sushi bar to order better fish from Sushi Chefs. See my pictures

I live in the Bay Area, and there are only a few Japanese restaurants where I live that are on a level with this place. Don’t miss out while you’re in the west LA or Culver City area: this restaurant is truly exceptional. I ordered a variety of sushi and sashimi appetizers and they were all fabulously prepared, with impeccable care and fresh ingredients.
