I came here last Tuesday and had a wonderful dinner. The food was delicious and unique, and I highly recommend the 'Zumanuka' cocktail - fresh basil muddled with 42 Below Manuka Honey Vodka, pineapple and a dash of apple. The atmosphere was lively and the service spot-on.

Went for dinner with my boyfriend - unfortunately the evening became dinner for three as soon as we sat down - the waiter would not leave us alone for longer than 1 minute at a time - constantly prompting us to order additional food and drinks and clearing away plates and cutlery as quickly as he could. Really dissapointing service - completely distracted us away from enjoying the food and ruined the evening. I had hoped a restaurant of this alleged standard would not be so pushy on the sales side. Very dissapointed.

Can be a little difficult to get into - or to get an answer from reservations, who then leave messages for you to confirm your reservation at times when they themselves aren't available for calls - silly, really, why not get an automated confirmation system?

Anyway, lovely food, beautifully presented - good service and great ambience - a little pricey and cocktails nothing special for the money. But worth the effort of getting a reservations for the food.

I was at Zuma a few days ago. My experience with the reception and service is excellent. There is a good atmosphere at the restaurant, interesting and entertaining. Food is hit and miss. I would expect much better quality sashimi form a high end Japanese restaurant, but the quality of the cuts was poor, perhaps the fish wasn't fresh enough too. Whatever the reason is I did not like it and for the first time in my life I left sashimi behind! And I eat at Japanese restaurants a lot. On the other hand food from grill was good in general. Most clientele are business people either stopping for a drink or to have dinner. Cocktails are great.

A wee bit snooty and pricey, but the food was lovely.

Each dish was beautifully presented and the sashimi was fresh and melted in your mouth.

The dynamite and california rolls were delicious and the scallops divine.

I think the least value for money was probably the salads, they tasted nice, but quite pricey for what ends up being only a mouthful.

I would love to come here again, but only if I can find another wealthy friend to take me!

Very good scallops. The basting/marinade for the meat dishes (lamb cutlets/chicken skewers/beef skewers) was pretty tasteless.

£18.90 for 1 prawn! Admittedly it was a very big prawn - but you have to laugh at the price.

Service was pretty bad - no explanation of dishes. Several plates were just dumped on the table and the waiter just walked away. At no point did the staff ask how the dishes/meal was.

Roka does this much better - with tastier food and quality service.

Lunch for 2 - £170, ouch.

Truly amazing.

Although it is a very hard place to get a booking, try it. The food is amazing, as is the service, which balances the high price, but it is worth it. I go there often, and have found it a great Japanese restaurant with great food. It is a number to put on your phone and keep it there. Two simple words: 'Go there!' It is a great experience!

Gourmet Chick

Gourmet Chick - 8/10

Monday, October 20, 2008 - Located down a small laneway in Knightsbridge, Zuma is achingly hip. The decor is a swanky combination of interlocked wooden walls and granite benchtops. There is an incredibly popular bar in the middle of the room and towards the back a huge robata grill with a team of chefs at work. The women hovering at the bar are poured into their dresses - this is one of the few places in town where it seems people still get dressed up to come here. Loud music and an amazing cocktail selection completed the party atmosphere. The food is Japanese fusion and was all delicious and brilliantly executed.
