"Zip" means "Home" in Korean and it is the inspiration behind the second high-energy restaurant opened by Jason Ha, an engaging young Korean entrepreneur. The friendly staff greets customers by name, usually by the second visit. Zip Fusion’s vibrant double front restaurant space features a performance kitchen and front patio, packed well after midnight. The high-ceiling interior features organic sienna and deep blue walls with large, handsome abstract organic paintings in the front and side dining rooms, as well as the three intimate, state-of-the-art karaoke rooms tucked around one side that hold five to 15 guests. Described as "unique Asian-California Fusion with soul" cuisine, Owner-proprietor Jason Ha takes advantage of the "astonishing array of fresh produce and fish available in Los Angeles." Ha brings inspiration from his former Korean home which he describes as the "Italy of Asia" since it is also a peninsula rich in fish, seafood and fresh produce. This is reflected in the healthy, artistic sushi and Pan-Asian meat, seafood and vegetable dishes which feature Korean ingredients in sushi and original dishes with Japanese, Vietnamese, Italian and American touches. Award-winners include the composed Seaweed Salad, the inspired, show stopper albo-cato and the whimsical Whiskey Back and Soda, no-rice sushi roll.

This is my absolute favoriet sushi restaurant in L.A. right now. My co-workers and I frequent this place often and that is because the food is amazing seriously! The food is soo good...my favs are the tuna tempura appetizer, the yahoo roll and scallop sushi.
The feel and decor are also amazing. You've got to check this place out.
