| - After seeing photos of the opening night, I've been meaning to try Zuma. I sat next to the robata grill which was nice because you could watch the shishito peppers, asparagus, mushrooms, etc being grilled. Pretty great experience overall.
The service from my waiter was amazing. I felt like he had good suggestions for the menu and he was so so helpful in helping me choose different dishes. I came by myself, and I wanted to try a few different things without over ordering. He was great at helping me choose some larger portioned dishes with some smaller dishes.
I had the saikyo miso marinated black cod wrapped in hoba leaf, yellowtail sashimi with green chili relish/ponzu/pickled garlic, zuma chirashi maki roll, and chocolate molten cake with ice cream. I highly recommend the yellowtail sashimi, zuma chirashi maki roll, and the chocolate molten cake. All of them were very flavorful and so beautifully presented. I felt like the black cod's sauce was great but I barely dipped it in the sauce because I felt like it overpowered the cod. That's just my preference, but I probably wouldn't order it if I came for a second time. I think I'd want to try something new.
Overall, the food was good but I probably wouldn't get the black cod because I felt like the sauce was overpowering the cod. The other dishes were great and would definitely recommend those. The restaurant itself is very modern and clean but still very inviting.
