"One of the city's best Japanese-fusion restaurants. We had one of the private rooms. It was nothing short of perfect. The food was fantastic, and the service was of the highest standard. Highly recommended."

"Vibe: Went on a Thursday and it was packed. Even with reservations, we still waited about 15 minutes for our table. The space is beautiful with two floors, and the whole place has a high-energy, Miami-style vibe—music bumping, very upbeat, very scene-y in a fun way. Food: • Rock Shrimp: Great presentation, but overall just okay—felt a bit bland. • Spicy Tuna Roll: Outstanding. The fish was incredibly fresh and the rolls were small (in a good way). No overloaded, rice-heavy rolls here. • Special Roll of the Night: Good, but absolutely not worth $50 for a single roll. • Wagyu Gyoza: Phenomenal—10/10. The meat literally melts in your mouth and is worth every cent. Overall: Very pricey, but the vibes plus the quality of the dishes make it worth experiencing at least once."

"Zuma is a great up level place for dining. expensive but delicate food. not an every day casual dine out, but for impressive events or special occasions it fit well. we were in a large group with partner and customer and had great time and enjoyed the food and the venue"

"This is one of the best restaurant experiences we've had in New York. The food is all fantastic but it is matched by excellent service, as well. We had a group of 7, including kids, and we all had a very enjoyable experience. The dishes are all meant to be shared and we were able to try a variety of offerings. One of my favorites was the Wagyu beef dumplings. The strip steak was also delicious and very tender (see photo). I highly recommend dinner here and we'd love to visit again."

"Overall great spot. Second time there, first time was for a work event in the banquet space which is absolutely stunning room to have dinner in. We did the premium omakase ($250/pp) and my only criticism is that the first several courses came out way too fast so took a point off for that, it almost felt like we were being rushed, multiple courses on the table at the same time which I didn’t appreciate however, later on, they definitely slowed it down. Food was incredible, DJ vibe was fun the music wasn’t too loud. Menu highlights were the tuna tartare, scallops, lobster, wagyu steak, sea bass (raw and cooked), wagyu dumplings. Presentation was fun throughout, cocktails were on point (Fig Manhattan and vida tequila drinks). More regal and authentic than Tao (which is for sure also a solid pot). Dessert was a fun combination of fresh fruits, but also had ice cream and lava cake which was outstanding. The espresso martini was on point and the branded chocolate flake on top was a nice touch. Would go again to try their regular menu."
