This is a very upscale restaurant. The food is delicious and I would definitely come back.

Had a dinner here last night. The beef, mushrooms, chicken, and of course, the cocktails! The dinner menu is pricey, and lunch specials are an awesome value. Service was professional and helpful. However, the side dish came 5 minutes later than the chicken when the chicken would have been cold if I waited. They say it is because it comes from a different kitchen, and they have three kitchens, and you are supposed to eat dishes separately as they arrive. If so, okay. The ambience is more lively on the lower floor and a bit quieter on the upper floor. Not as loud as in some other Zuma locations, such as Dubai. read more

Had an amazing dining experience for a friend's birthday. Staff was super nice. As for the food, here's what I think: - lychee rose petal martini: if you like floral and sweet drinks, this is the drink for you. barely taste the alcohol in it. - yellowtail sashimi: was really fresh and the ponzu sauce mixed with the garlic topping gave the perfect flavor. - shiitake mushrooms: pretty average; nothing special in my opinion. - dynamite spider roll: the tempura in the roll was crunchy and delicious. the roll overall was amazing. - fried softshell crab: probably my favorite dish. the batter was light, so it did not take over the softshell crab flavors - fatty tuna roll: extremely fresh and the tuna's fat made the roll have an amazing buttery texture - shrimp tempura: the batter was light as well. They chopped up the shrimp into tiny pieces, which I did not expect - chocolate lava cake: my favorite dessert! the cake was cooked at the perfect texture where the middle was flowing out when cut in half. eating it with ice cream was the best! Overall great experience. If you want to splurge on a dinner one night, this would be the place to go to. read more

Beautiful restaurant with spacious, gorgeous private rooms. Staff was so attentive. The food was beautiful and delicious. Every bit of the omekase was appreciated. Little wagyu sliders was the best. Every sushi was fresh and the presentation was beautiful. The restroom was art ( I couldn't find the door). Loved every minute there. It's definitely a return for us. read more

Loved the atmosphere in the building. Super cool vibe. Attentive staff. Decent food. My fave was the chef's choice sashimi and the wagyu roll. Will definitely go back to try other things on the menu. read more

T'was a saturday and we were celebrating a little something that has been in the works for a bit. I was craving sushi after binge watching a bunch of sushi related YouTube videos so the day couldn't come any sooner. My guy personally enjoys this place and told that some of the reviews on here were a bit misleading. The ambiance is a milder version of Tao, not in a bad way. It is just not as dark and not as sexy. However, it has a sultry, modern vibe that I personally enjoy. The staff was super nice, but one thing I noticed was that the portions were small and a craft of sake could have just been two glassfuls. I didn't find anything extraordinary about the dishes, but overall it was a good meal. Usually I am stuffed out of my mind when I leave a restaurant, but I could have eaten and drank more if I really wanted to. As always, one extra star because the company was great! read more

Vibes, ambiance, and service 10/10 Drinks were a solid 8/10 Food/value 6/10 The vibes at this spot were amazing. The bar was packed and they had DJ spinning great music. The service was immaculate and the waiter even recommended me my new favorite drink in the city. Food was decent but nothing to rave about and I found it to be overpriced read more

Zuma is an incredible restaurant first of all the atmosphere of this restaurant is out of this world. It has a very elegant feeling to it. The lighting is perfect and it really helps set the mood for when you're about to eat. the food itself is incredible you could tell it's very high-quality very fresh and that they hire a very professional team of chefs for what they're making, what's funny is me and my girlfriend went here on a date and when we were reading the menu and in the restaurant we were thinking like oh this is just going to be like Nobu and honestly we didn't even like Nobu. We thought Nobu was overpriced and not that good however, this place blew it out of the water and was such an exceptional restaurant. We would come back here again the staff is incredibly nice. The serving sizes are just right the dessert is out of this world. This restaurant had one of the best desserts I've ever had. I love this place. It was amazing. read more

First time here and it was a wonderful experience. Had a reservation, where we were seated on the right side of the restaurant, seated away from other guests. The table had a nice lamp that gave it a warm feel to it. Overall the restaurant had darker lighting so I thought the lamp was a nice touch. Service was phenomenal-the waiter gave us a run through of the menu and recommended top dishes. Ordered some sashimi and rock shrimp tempura for appetizers, all of which were fresh and had good flavor. The entree stood out the most - we ordered the spicy beef tenderloin. Although it wasn't really spicy, the beef had great flavor and was really juicy and tender. The two pieces were actually pretty hefty and we couldn't finish (maybe we would've if we didn't order rice with it). Would definitely come back for the atmosphere and entree. 5 stars for sure! read more

I love sushi and robata and Zuma has it all. It reminds me of Roka Akor in Chicago which is in our top 10 restaurants in the USA. It is "modern Japanese" and the food and ambience is spectacular!! I highly recommend!! We started with a carafe of sake which was smooth and complimented the meal. We ordered Suzuki no sashimi- amazing Grilled octopus skewers-tender and tasty Shishito peppers-way too spicy so we sent them back Hotate no ume shiso mentaiko yaki-delicious We had a roll too which we loved Waitress was super lovely and so was the manager who took the shishito peppers off the bill $125 plus tip and it was worth it!! I sat at the sushi bar last night and enjoyed a glass of the snow maiden sake. The sommelier was very personable and helped me choose what I was in the mood for. I went upstairs to the bar to check it our and it's very happening! This is an awesome hang!! read more

Expensive but tasty we had a company event there and ambiance was amazing. Place is beautiful. staff was friendly and attentive (but again we had booked a room all to ourselves so the staff was just waiting on us for the evening) read more

Went here on a first date and the night turned out as perfect as can be. We closed the place down and were the last ones out. Had the white miso soup and Shishito peppers to start which were incredible. Then some spicy yellowtail sushi with serrano pepper and wasabi mayo which again, was amazing. Finished it off with the King crab and the 24 oz ribeye with black truffle and truffle soy butter. Highly recommend that one. She had the spicy margaritas and me with the Jack and coke...of course, she was the most gorgeous one in there so couple that with the ambiance and the great tasting food and it made for the perfect date. read more

Went here for a dinner with my work and I was a little bit underwhelmed to be honest. The atmosphere was stunning, as expected, but the food wasn't worth the price. The best thing I tried was the sesame spinach. Even the sushi was a bit too fishy tasting and didn't feel that fresh. The desserts were beautifully designed but the flavor wasn't as good as the aesthetic quality. Overall this place is an ~experience~ restaurant rather than quality food restaurant. read more

I decided to go with the business lunch. The business lunch let's you pick two appetizers, one entree and one dessert. For my two starters I decided to go to the chef daily sushi set and the seared tuna. For the entree, I decided to get sashimi chirasi donburi and for the dessert I decided to go for their special chocolate which is not in the menu Let me start that the food was spectacular. The taste of every dish was outstanding. But their special chocolate is exquisite. I applaud the chef for making such a delicious masterpiece. My only complaint is that the server was more interesting in gossiping/flirting than actually working. While I was there, the server didn't give the exact change to another costumer and the server had to be call out. For me, the server forgot to serve me my drink. I understand that some days we might be a little off but if you are going to be flirting/ slacking off with the coworkers make sure to get the order. I made sure to let the server know so for him/her to step up for the rest of the day. read more

Always a fun atmosphere with nice ambiance. Food and service are always on point. Have enjoyed every visit.

Booked a table 2 weeks in advance and they sat us at a long table with other people, facing a wall. Asked for another table because I was upset I booked 2 weeks in advance and that's what they gave us. Then moved us to a table next to a staff closet and the cash registers. Light on the table was falling apart, music was loud club music, felt really trashy and cheap. Food was good and good quality, but we were paying for the ambience and absolutely did not get that. Awful experience, never going back. Don't waste your money. Spent close over $300 for a few small plates. read more

{Overall: 4; Food: 4} Ambiance: 4.5; Service: 3.5 Impressed by the vibe here - it's a huge restaurant with modern and sophisticated decor. Lots of people dressed up in a sceney way. Fun for a lively, dressy dinner out. Food is really high quality from an ingredient and taste perspective. We ate (and enjoyed): * salmon nigiri torched * beef with shishito pepper and smoked chili soy skewer * tiger prawn tempura (this was so good, we ate two of them) * black cod * yuzu cheesecake Service was a little slow. read more

The restaurant was nice, the service was good. I did not like the sushi at all. The dessert was my favorite part of our meal.

This was our 4th dinning experience at Zuma NYC. Both the service and quality of food have gone down hill. It started with the receptionists were extremely, unfriendly, not welcoming at all. The food came overlapping each dish then became waiting for a while on the main courses. Most importantly the dress code stated on the website was not enforced. There were customers wearing sweat pants, sneakers, hoodies and etc. You would expect a restaurant like Zuma would enforce on dress code which we had witnessed customers being turned away due to not followed the dress code requirements. What happened to the management since our last visit? We missed the good old day. Please bring that friendly, welcoming environment, that 5 star quality of food back. read more

Zuma - Lobster, Wyagu Steak, Grilled Corn Mash Potatoes - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

I went with my job for a private dinner. Food - was great. I loved how they served it family style. Made it a different experience. Everything tasted amazing and was cooked to perfection. The tray that they brought out for the desserts was huge! And filled with or sorts of stuff! Really really good. Ambiance - loud, fun, hip The upstairs is all private rooms for dining. Ive never seen so many private rooms before at one restaurant. Service was ok. But again I was at a private dinner so the staff seemed very formal and uptight. I would definitely go back on my own time to experience the restaurant on the main floor. read more

if I could give this a -5 stars I would I've been going to the one in Miami for many years and it is fantastic and I expected the same here but the entire experience was awful and the service was absolutely terrible. They messed up my reservation. The food was bad and it was expensive I don't recommend this place at all. read more

Came here for a business event. Sushi dining area on the main floor, a bar on the second floor (hopping later at night), and larger meeting rooms also available. Front entry has the check-in and a coat check. For our Chinese New Year event, large open space and done two ways two different years. Both years had a small open bar for folks and a sushi table (pre-made, platters set down) to the back. Last year was passed appetizers, a failure in the crowd near the door tackling anyone with a tray and food didn't get to the others until late -- lots of hungry people. This year, better - a few passed appetizers: - cod on lettuce, not as good as the miso cod elsewhere - chicken skewers with spring onion was good - a salmon tartare on a piece of bread was good Other dishes were arrayed in stations (beef, chicken, sushi, etc.) which made for a much happier crowd. Drinks passed around (a special tequila drink) and the servers kept the area clean. Better spacing, still need to improve on the food (definitely not Nobu), but overall a better experience this year especially as this is one of the few sushi venues near this location that can accommodate a larger crowd and an after-party when the main party is over. read more

I came here a couple times since my first experience and had positive experiences. I've grown to love Zuma - esp the Miami location. I came in last night-I didn't like that they tried to seat me by the counter given I had a reservation in advance. I think that should be better communicated. I felt the host could have been kinder to me. I spoke to the manager Dina- she was able to get us a table with better seating, but we had to wait by the bar first. She was kind and came found us once the table was ready. The night turned around once we sat in a comfortable spot- Joe our waiter was kind and helpful. My fav things on the menu are the cold dishes- hamachi etc. I also enjoy the cooked fish dishes- sea bass/cod. The rice pot is nice aswell. I don't have a particular favorite- most of the menu is up my flavor pallet just depends on the day. Nice ambiance, DJ good music. read more

This place is amazing, everything from the menu is delicious. The presentation is beautiful and they are filling dishes. We got the Calamari, Skirt Steak, Spicy Tuna Roll, Spicy Yellowtail Roll, Street Corn, the Chocolate Lava Cake. To accompany our meal we also had a cocktail and a mocktail. Everything was just as if not more incredible then the last dish. The waiter we had was amazing, very personable and friendly. She recommended her favorite dishes and we have lovely conversations with her, such a nice experience when the staff is on par with the food. I would recommend trying the place, it is worth it and they have multiple locations in New York, Miami, etc., go to any, they are all amazing! read more

This place is just okay. The food was decent, but nothing to rave out. It sells itself more on the aesthetic but realistically very high ceilings will make even a dump feel luxurious. Service was also just okay- we went on a Friday night for dinner, so understandably the place was busy. Pricing is decent for the place, location, and food type. There are definitely better options for the same thing, I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again. read more

Extraordinary meal here at 5PM on a Wednesday. Only negative was the check-in process. The restaurant was EMPTY, but they had our party of two waiting at the hostess stand for 10-15 minutes "to get your table ready." The meal itself was fantastic. Such delicious food! We ordered a smorgasbord of assorted delicious foods (waiter was very helpful in choosing) and each was better than the last. Expensive (about $100 each) but worth every penny. I'll be back! read more

Always a beautiful dining experience. Zuma Hong Kong is my go-to, so I decided to take a visit to the New York location. Walking inside, I was mesmerized by the array of decor. Multi-design white translucent lights, wood finish, and warm fire feel make for an upscale experience. Sitting in the middle of the restaurant, we decided to choose from their izakaya-inspired menu. We ordered almost every dish and I have to say that we appreciated that the dishes were able to be shared. From grilled scallops with pickled plum to perfectly seared rib eye steak with wafu sauce, we couldn't stop our mouth from watering. Can't wait to come back and finish off with the zuma special chocolate! read more

Zuma - Black Cod and Prawn Dumplings - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

We were really looking forward to dinner at Zuma before a Lakers/Knicks game on Jan 22nd. I have had meals here before and brought clients previously for business luncheon meetings. This dining experience was the biggest disappointment in recent months because of the poor attitude of a manager hired by this restaurant. Let's start with the very bad: We ordered the prawn and black cod dumplings as a starter. The dumplings arrived, but when we took a bite, the center of the dumplings was cold and the dumpling wrapper was lukewarm. When we reflected this feedback to the server (so he can tell the kitchen), he took the dish back (which we said we would still pay for) and a manager stopped by thereafter to speak to us. We did not get his name, but he has grey hair and a unique accent. He said "I noticed that the dumplings were sent back, is there an issue?" When we mentioned to him that the dumplings were cold, he became confrontational and added, "we cannot control the food temperature, it could be that the order was brought out and was sitting for a while at your table before you guys took a bite. We cannot guarantee they would still be hot." Keep in mind that the picture I took on my phone has a time stamp, between the time that the dumplings arrived and the time we ate it, that was no more than 2 minutes. We told him that we just wanted to inform the kitchen (so they can get this feedback for future orders) because the dumplings were cold. The male manager showed even more attitude towards us as if we were trying to get free food (even though we insisted we would pay for the item and just wanted to give feedback to the kitchen and continue with our meal). He just would not let it go and made us feel very uncomfortable. My friend repeated to him that we just want to bring this feedback to the kitchen's attention and we were not trying to get anything out of it. The manager finally left with a smirk on his face and said it was served hot to us. Our total bill for the dinner was close to $300 (we still left a generous tip as this was no fault of the server), but this terrible individual basically ruined the whole experience over a $18.50 dish (which the manager still left on the bill even though the server took the dish back. However, I guess we asked him to still charge us so he did). He never apologized and didn't even acknowledge he would give the feedback to the kitchen. The person I was with did go speak to another manager, her name was Cinzia, to inform her that the male manager made us feel uncomfortable. She did apologize and offer us free drinks at the bar but he respectfully declined as he didn't want to be a patron of the restaurant going forward. read more

What a beautiful restaurant, I just wish the food was good enough to match the service and decor. You can tell that this place is definitely more than a restaurant. I can imagine that this place is popular to go grab a drink or lounge a bit. We ordered the edamame, sea bass and the 4 sushi rolls. Everything was just okay and actually very expensive for just OK. Edamame was well done, the sushi was overcooked and the rolls were just small. I don't think I would go back here for a meal. read more

I just moved here on business from California a friend recommended Zuma. Had a couple of my friends visiting from Los Angeles so I wanted to take them out for dinner and drinks. & also experience it myself since I've never been. My reservation was made 4 days prior but we got sat at the bar by the entrance... I asked the host why and we would wait for a formal table like I had requested and she basically said I had No choice because all their tables were taken and this was the last of it.. So why wouldn't you save me a table since I had a reservation? So I get screwed because the business can't keep organization with their seating? Bull shit See the thing with customer service you don't always have to give the customer what they're asking for.. sometimes I get it's impossible but if you make it comfortable enough for your customer and you validate their complain then you would have a RETURNING customer but instead the employee just said fuck us & swept us under the rug in the corner and I will never appreciate that. Next... our drinks For as long as we sat there waiting for Food & drinks and missed orders, wrong orders and the fact that we were sitting in front of a bar you would think at least were tipsy because & having a good time and all this mess is just minimal NOPE waitress forgot to enter our drinks twice we had to remind her also waited soooooo long for our second round of drinks that by the time we were ready to go our second round of drinks was just getting to the table. A COMPLETE MESS. Organize your employees Zuma people come here for your FOOD but also for your HOSPITALITY & VIBES And the fact that we paid all that just to feel how we felt when we walked out is crazy. God bless your General Manager. That's all read more

My Friend made reservations for 7pm on a Friday night. Upon arrival we arrived 15 minutes prior to our reservation however, we were immediately attended too. They checked us in asked if we wanted to leave our coats in coat check. When we sat down the place was pretty empty however by 8:30pm or so it was a FULL. Our waiter Carlos was very attentive even recommended a few dishes & drinks. The food was beyond delicious & our drinks were as well. After dinner we went upstairs to the lounge where a live DJ is playing music & we had one more drink before we left. The upstairs lounge is way more relaxed than the dining area. I would highly recommend this spot if your looking to have a delicious dinner/ drinks plus be in great ambiance. Ohhh I almost forgot to mention that you can literally snap a picture anywhere in the restaurant & your pictures will come out nice :) read more

Food quality was very good. Atmosphere is an A for sure. Service was just ok as she never checked in with us to see if we needed anything. We continuously found ourselves always looking for our server which obviously detracts from trying to have a relaxing and unconcerned time. read more

As a loyal customer who has been to zuma NY, Miami and Boston over a dozen times, and has spent every family celebration at the restaurant spending thousands of dollars... our most recent encounter has caused much frustration and unfortunately will cause us to take our business elsewhere. One of our immediate family members has a 7 pound trained hypoallergenic certified emotional support dog who has traveled with us to every family outing at zuma with prior approval. Even as recent as may 16, we got approval to bring him to zuma NY for our birthday but ended up having to cancel due to being out of town. On august 24th my mom had a birthday and we made a reservation for 9 people to zuma New York and wrote that we are bringing him in his bag which is closed, he always lays in it, and it will be under the table, and that he always gets approval. Sadly we got a call back that the reservation needs to be canceled since he is not allowed in the restaurant. We were shocked as he has come with us every single time and we never had that issue. We asked to speak to the general manager who makes these decisions but she never returned our call so we ended to going somewhere else. Eager to understand why the policy has changed I called zuma and asked for a return phone call since I was never contacted by the GM, and they told me I would receive a call that day. 3 days later when I called back again since I never heard back from the general Manager, ironically as I was on the line with the reservations department I was receiving a call from her simultaneously. I told them I no longer want to speak to her but to her hire up. They told me they will pass along the message, meantime she left me a voicemail and email and I wrote back that I am not interested in speaking to her anymore. This afternoon a week after reaching out to her hire up, I received a phone call from the same GM saying that she's returning my call on behalf of her hire up. She explained to me that they are just following department of health laws. I explained to her that if this was a consistent policy I wouldn't have an issue but considering he has been with us to their restaurants numerous times, and has even gotten approval just a few months ago, this sudden "following the law" doesn't make sense and clearly their have been certain exceptions as he would have never been allowed in if that was not the case. She apologized for the inconsistency and said she hopes that I reconsider to dine with them in the future which I won't since I'm not going to leave one of My immediate family members at home just to eat there. With a restaurant that is truly 5 star as far as the taste of food and decor, the way this situation was handled was anything but 5 star service It is unfortunate that after years of dining, and thousands of dollars spent, we will not be stepping foot in zuma read more
