sushi zono

One of the nicer things about living in the Silverlake/Los Feliz area (that the silverlake cool kids won't tell you), is being close to the suburbs. Ikea in Burbank has some lame chain restaurants near it. You've got the CPK, Chevy's, Koo Koo Roo (recently closed), Mi Piace (?) and that sort of thing. Oh, and they even have a Hooters there now. So, yeah, I never had any expectations of decent food out there.

Fortunately we decided to gamble with Sushi Zono, a little spot nestled between Hooters and In-N-Out, and we've been going back ever since. I'll start by saying that their fish is always amazingly fresh. I don't know what it is, but the Hamachi is always buttery, the Maguro is so good, they've got all the basics down.


Fresh Ama Ebi! (sweet shrimp). Tails served Nigiri and ...


the heads served fried! Yum.


Toro sashimi


Hamachi


As much as I hate to admit it, I'm always a sucker for the americanized rolls at most sushi places. Sushi Mon has a great selection of them and they're probably known for those types of rolls. Well, Sushi Zono has a Brian Roll, so you know I'm a fan of that! Sitting at the bar at Zono is always great too, the sushi chefs are all friendly and accomidating.


Spicy Hamachi Handroll. surprsingly good


Don't know what this was called. but it was good.


Seered albacore sashimi
