We have only had the chance to try ZUMA once, but from start to finish - it was a really great experience. Service from Lisa was very nice , and the menu was a beautiful creation of traditional Japanese flavors and cooking styles. Served along side the menu was a really tasty list of cocktails, that we sampled the GEISHA CRUSH and the ZUMA MAI TAI from. We each had a couple of those drinks... both very well crafted and balanced.
Working our way down the menu, we sampled things like 'Giamndara To Ebi No Gyoza'..which were prawn and black cod dumplings. So good... there was fresh sushi and sashimi as well. Everything we tried from that list, like the scallops, were so fresh and well prepared.
It's a pricey comparison to some of the local eateries that offer a similar concept and style as Zuma - (Yonaka comes to mind) - but Zuma has an ambiance, a style, and a drink list, that are to be sampled if you have a chance.
Until next time ! Happy Eating !
