zuma

zuma was a incredible experience. the service was super careful and kind. thefoodwas amazing: starting from the gyosas and ending with the petit gateau, one of the best i have ever tasted. a must go in miami!

zuma is a japanese restaurant with a contemporaneous flair (inspired by izakaya-style japanese dining) that has already successfully launched more than 10 locations worldwide. its food, décor and ambience make zuma a uniquefoodvenue in miami. aside from an extensive meal selection, zuma offers an excellent tasting menu and likewise it features a brunch like no other in the city. certainly zuma is one of the best restaurants in miami in spite of being somewhat pricey.

what we liked the most: tiger prawn

one of the bestfoodexperiences i've ever had! pricey but amazing! worth the visit ;-))) wonderful decor, sophisticated decor and setting!!

went on my birthday dinner and was not a very pleasent experience. i and my wife were on vacation from india in miami and were recommended zuma by our hotel for a special dinner. so our table was booked for 8.30 pm and we finally got seating at 9.15 pm. didnt matter as we were having a nice time at the bar. we ordered the black cod with miso and my wife got a sharp bone in the fish while eating which is not expected at a restaurant of the quality and price as zuma. the server said he would replace and he apologized. after 7 to 10 min he came back and said he couldn't guarantee that the next black cod will be filleted properly and without bones as the server hadn't filetted it himself. wowww. so is it the server who fillets the fish. so he said you could skip the fish if you like. we then ordered scallops which took another 15 min to arrive while we were hungry. after that when we asked for pot rice the server said it will tk 25 min and then when we said get us some sushi roll quickly he said it will also take 15 min. when one has already had a bad experience then service and attention has to be better. while thefoodwas nice whatever we had but then you expect better service. the senior management tried all damage control as we asked for the cheque after the scallops and wanted to leave. they offered us free desserts but we were not in the mood. greatfoodand ambience but service needs to improve. maybe my case was a one off but it did happen.

what an unbelievable dining experience we had here last year while in town! our waitress lindsay was so down to earth and friendly and did a great job of surprising us with variousfooditems as we had chosen to do the omakase menu. she tweaked it a little bit for us to ensure that some of her favorite items were brought to us and we loved them all! as we were leaving, gregory (the manager) came over to ensure our meal went well and we gave him our rave reviews. after chatting for a bit, he kindly offered to buy us a drink at the bar, very nice of him! he let us know that zuma may be opening restaurants in la or vegas soon and i was so glad to hear that. i will definitely be checking out any west coast openings as we live in san diego and don't make it to miami very often. but, every time i do make it to miami i'm heading to zuma!

brunch. the brunch at zuma is excellent! deliciousfoodand beautiful settings, make this place a great brunch, lunch or dinner spot!

atmosphere is the only good thing about this place. thefoodis priced high which is fine but the taste did not live up to other restaurants in this price range. will not be going here again.

food and atmosphere were good. salmon was on the 'over done' side, but overall okay. main complaint would be on the service. i say with a plate of cold, finishedfoodin front of me for 20 minutes. not appealing... especially considering the prices you're paying. of course, they protect themselves by adding 18% gratuity to the check automatically. i wouldn't return; many other good places a try a short walk away!

my most favorite buffet. let me start by saying i hate buffets. but if zuma was the benchmark for a buffet, i would alter my dislike to delight. the most incrediblefoodexperience was a zuma's brunch buffet. words can't describe the experience, check it out for your self. thefoodwas delicious, the oysters and sushi phenomenal, the hot rice pot with mushrooms to die for and the chilled champagne kept coming and i was loving every minute of it. i will return for sure.

love this place! my favorite restaurant in miami. thefoodis pricey but it is damn good.

great experience. love thefood, love the service ...little to pricey

thefoodwas good. our server named damian was bad. but, the front reception, the service staff, and the manager elizabeth were 100% amazing! highly recommend this place as long as you request any server other than damian.

fantastic. not only the best sushi i've ever had, but some of the bestfoodin general. expensive yes, but a beautiful place with delicious food

slow, inaccurate service. thefoodwas excellent. the atmosphere was chic miami. the waiter got two dishes incorrect and lunch took 2.5 hours. it cost $40 per person. will not return.

great fusion seafood creations. this place is great! the ambiance is very miami, with a great view of the bay and the miami river, but not as loud and obnoxious as some other "in" restaurants in the area. reservations are definitely recommended althou waiting at the bar and having a couple of cocktails and appetizers there is lovely as well. thefoodcomes in small portions which is great for sharing, and it comes out as its ready giving you time to savor one while getting excited about what is going to come out next. my favorite options are seafood based: the tuna & salmon tartar is so fresh, the sea-bass sashimi with truffle oil is totally worth trying, and the noodles with lobster are so fun to eat! my dad is a big meat eater and he always walks out satisfied as well (he raves about the spicy beef tenderloins). i have been back to this location plenty of times and would love to try the other ones in london, dubai, or hong kong (day dream much?)
