One of the finest restaurants in London. The staff was super friendly and really helpful. Pricey but it worths it.. Try the black cod, you'll see it's one of the best dishes!! If you love sake, you will find one of the finest collections, great range for every taste, from sweet and fruity to more strict flavors. We went on a saturday around 18:00 and seated at the grill bar, they told us we couldn't sit longer than 1-2 hrs but we ended up staying for 5 and got drunk too! They even kept our shopping bags at the reception in a locker.. Great crowd as well. If you want to have a good experience, taste good food and enjoy your sake, you shouldn't miss it. I must add that if you're looking for real japanese food experience, go to Japan. You won't find anything that is even close to what Japan offers but Zuma is great on so many levels.

Very very rude staff (tall Asian girl).! :/ :/ :/

Well where I start with this interesting night which I endured with 2 of my girlfriends. Firstly I am a frequent diner at Zuma, for both business and fun purpose, I must say the food is great but not above the competition such as Sumosan and Nozomi. Anyone will tell you that Zuma has a reputation for certain ladies at the bar and this goes with the territory of any London Establishment the affluent. On this night we had finished our meal which was around £500 for 3 of us and as we were leaving a vile man started propositioning us and I informed him that we were not the Chelsea Cloisters type (apart from the fact he looked like Penfold). As we left a representative of Zuma (short, blonde and with a French accent), chased us down the road and said we were involved in’ cash transactions’ and were unwelcome. Completely hilarious and we will not never ever go there again, nor will my contacts in the sports and fashion world. I usually over looked the sloppy service and never being shown to your table straight away, however this is unforgivable!

London Zuma sucks.

The servers never treat their customers properly, they were chatting and playing around.

The receptionists never greet their guests but again chat. Some of the servers are quite good but sadly most of them sucks.

The food from the main kitchen is too salty or it may related to different eating styles between East and West.

The osft shell crab sushi is so loosely bound and rice were everywhere on the plate. OMG, it is so much worse than the sushi I saw in Waitrose.

I have tried to tell them to redo it and the sushi chef was like cursing me in Cantonese in the sushi bar without knowing that I speck Cantonese too.

It is so humiliating... it is DEFINITELY not a 5-stared restaurant.

The dessert can be seen as a consolation prize, they are good.

I highly recommend all of those who really want to try Zuma to go to Hong Kong Zuma, they are so much better and worth every penny.

The food. Sublime is a word I rarely use but on this occasion it is the only accurate way to describe the dining experience at this chic restaurant.

'The bar' is the perfect place, you watch the chefs prepare the dishes and have a great view of the central bar.

I love oriental food but have steered clear of dessert at the end of the evening. On this occasion I digressed and the gamble was worth it.

The most exquisite green tea and banana delight brought my taste buds to their knees with pleasure.

Big breath before the bill. If you want to experience 5 star food and service in chic surroundings head to Zuma.

Be warned it may be the beginning of a pricey love affair.

I have been here several times for drinks. I did not realise it was primarily a restaurant the first time I came.

Very classy, modern decor, friendly staff and well to do crowd. It has a relaxed atmosphere despite the fancy finishings and upmarket clientele.

I don't remember the music, which makes it a ideal place for a date or catching up with friends- you can hear yourselves talk.

The only downside is the bar closes at 11pm even on weekends. I think the management should consider making the bar separate from the restaurant as most people want to stay on. I cannot wait to experience the food.

very glamorous. Drinks cost an arm and a leg. Lively place to go on Saturdays with a sophisticated crowd

I booked a table at Zuma for my girlfriends birthday and was planning to spend the evening enjoying al the best foods and sampling some of the many many saki's. we were seated at our table and our elbows were almost touuching the party on the next table. we were then shown 3 menus so full of choiuce that i was worries that the 2 hour time slot was enough to make any sort of informed decision. we decided on the hot saki and at about £30 for 300ml it was money well spent very clean tasting and it went well with out selection of sashimi and crispy spider roll. We also ordered a 750ml bottle of Saki at about £40 which was excellent for meal. the plum saki with our desserts was also very nice and something new as neither of us had tried a sweet saki before. however the food wasnt great, the sashimi was simply average with very poor presentation and the spider roll had so little crisp that we sent it back. the beef skewers were fantastic and the sweetness of the sauce compined brilliantly with the melt in your mouth texture of the beef. we ordered the lobster tampura next which was fantastic and hands down the best dish we tried that night. we followed this with the blackend cod which we had read so much about and were bitterly dissappointed in the presentation which had no imagination or colour what so ever. the fish itself seemed to be almost slimey in texture although the taste was ok but did not follow through on what had been promised. desserts were again nice but not outstanding and one actually seemed to be slightly frozen in the middle castinng suspicions on the freshness. all in all the food was adequate but not nearly as good as we anticipated. the service was slow and uninformed, the meals arrived in such a very sporaidic fashion that we actually got part of our appetizer while we were waiting for our desserts. the original bill including drinks was around £250 for 2 but after a quiet word with the manager this was reduced to £180.
