Zuma

Best of the modern Japanese places in town and absolute trendsetter for years. Always buzzing and the food is delivering consistent fantastic dishes of outstanding quality. Amazing quality food with attentive service. Expect to pay for the pleasure (which it absolutely is) of going there – admittedly the only negative thing you can really say about this amazing place

Great food, very good atmosphere, always buzzing, great start to an evening. service is not up to par however, rushed and a bit uninformed.

food is still good but not as great as it used to be, service can be a bit slow.

I am fortunate enough to work for a luxury Japanese brand and so have eaten at most of the Japanese restaurants in London and this one is by far the best. The food is outstanding with the highlight being the smell and taste of the robata grill but you come to zuma for the electric atmosphere!

Zuma is for those who have more money to burn than sense. It is overpriced, overstaffed by people who think they are good and efficient, but who are not. The food was average and the value for money was ludicrously poor. As for the service, I came with my partner and out of the three items she ordered, one came on time, one was late arriving and the other needed to be reordered because they forgot. The service was very slow.

As for the interior, it was like being in a car park with tables – very industrial looking. If it is trying to be an upmarket restaurant, the owners need to look at NOBU which is expensive, but good. However, there are much better places where the food is a whole lot better and a lot less expensive. Try NANBUTEI in Baker Street and pay £49 for two and get good, honest Japanese cuisine.

For a Japanese restaurant, with very few Japanese staff working there, it was very poor. We will not be wasting our money there again.

I do like Zuma, but I think the kind of plates are quite cheap they seem like desert plates like IKEA plates!!! And sometimes you can see many cheap girls I mean many prostitutes around!!
By the way the food and drinks are very good:)

Went there for a romantic dinner. Opted for Tasting Menu, and we were not disappointed – a huge amount of food, beautifully and very carefully presented, and a total delight to the palate. Sake was served precisely at the temperature we requested, and plenty of advice given on choice. Service was very attentive and friendly, not a single mistake (although the restaurant was very busy on a Saturday night) – this puts both Nobu's to shame!! I also asked to view their private dining facilities, and the front of house lady was very helpful, and even sorted out my private dining booking immediately (which I could not do over the phone). Overall, a hugely enjoyable evening, money well spent, and the quality of food and service definitely worth the bill. I like this more than I like UMU (which is also great, but with more emphasis on fine dining presentation rather than food itself). Will do my best to be back (and in the meantime will book more people to dine at Zuma!).

Great food and atmosphere, service is a bit confuse maybe because the restuarant is busy and the waiters are always different (turnover probably). But I tully reccomend this place, similar to Nobu but teh “grandeur” of the place impress. Get ready to spend more than you expect as if you are hungry it will cost a lot. Sake list is impressive. Cocktails are very good also…

have been going to zuma now for nearly 6 years and its as good now as it was on day 1. sushi and sashimi is first rate. wagu if off the clock, although better if u not paying the bill!!! The atmosphere is great, and is a good place for celeb spotting. Staff are very knowledgeable about the menu as with the wines to. Great if you going with a group, if you can get in that is! defo no credit crunch at this place. first rate.

Zuma is a continuos surprise and in all these years I was never disappointed after a meal at Zuma…Excellent and unique!
