``There are three locations, Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena. The Burbank location seems superior to the original Glendale location, but I only went to Glendale once for lunch; it was quite disappointing.

``The quality and freshness of the sushi in Burbank is very high, the best in the area. The yellowtail just cascades bountifully off the rice ball, at least mine did. Great stuff. Killer aji, wonderful oysters, uni is excellent too, but this is a seasonal item and seems to be fair to excellent everywhere in winter. Lately I've noticed that Zono and others are sometimes serving live uni. The yellow ginger is deliciously on the sweet side. Green tea is up to standard. rates an 8, best tea in the neighborhood. Zono is very professional, somewhat corporate, the sushi chefs are eager to please and on top of their game. The head sushi master, Tomo, recently left to start his own place, but the quality and freshness at Zono remains killer. Shinji is the new point man.

``The fishermen, whoever they are, deserve high praise, too. The quality of the fish here is consistently, reliably excellent.''
