Zuma Restaurant, Belgravia, London

I recently went out on a date to this restaurant. I'd heard of Zuma mainly through magazines where celebs had been spotted.

On entry the interior is modern/plush and there is a bar section to the right, where apparently lots of hot women go to snag a wealthy man - you men are soo lucky :-)

My date knew the owner as a friend, so he managed to get seats in the section where the cooks are opposite cooking. I wasn't too sure whether I would like the food, but boy was it amazing! I had crab and spinach for starters, steak (small pieces) and black cod (you have to try this), finished off with warm chocolate cake and icecream - heaven!

The service was excellent as the woman who served us was very friendly/approachable. Zuma is probably the best place I've tried so far. It is expensive but a very fashionable/trendy place and definitely worth a visit...

This is the place for people who have got expansive taste in food and women... If you know what i mean

I recently had the opportunity to lunch at this beautiful establishment. The experience was nothing less than perfect in every way: food, service, ambience and the total dining gestalt. WOW- this was the best spent money for the most outrageously delicious meal that indulged every taste bud and visual experience. I highly recommend making a reservation as quickly as possible for the luxurious and elegantly beautiful. The service was perfect, the choices for each of the courses were magnificent. My meal at ZUMA definitely takes a top billing in my many gistatory experiences.

Go early, drink wine and feast on freshly cooked food. It’s more of an experience than a meal.

Take it all in and make sure you order some champagne, you will see why as your drinking it.

This is nice japenese restaurant with a fantastic variety of japanese dishes original decor and top class service, the sushi chefs offer a spectacle for diners to enjoy, its abit pricey but if you want quality rather than quantity this is the place to be.

I’ve been there few times…there is a very good atmosphere, I think it’s one of the best restaurant in London…

My boyfriend and I were lucky enough to be treated to a meal here by my generous boss. He eats here nearly every night of the week when he is in town so he ordered for us. The stuffed king prawn was absolutely mental, I still have dreams about it now and the wagyu steak is a MUST have - cant believe food can taste this good! We also had the pleasure of trying the sole and some other dishes I cant remember now but it was all amazing. Of course this place is really mega expensive and we didnt pay (our meal for 3 with wine was £400) but if you want to treat yourself you will not be disppointed and you will enjoy the ambiance the service and of course the incredible food.

Been there 2 times, one of those London’s fancy-fusion style places. Food i good, prices high, quite noisy.
Good place for a friend’s dinner. Good location, very close to Harrods and nice interior as well.
Would go there again why not, food very tasty good service though high prices.

Great Vibe, brilliant cocktails and mouth watering food. Need I say more? For sushi aficionado’s who enjoy eating with other people who appreciate the quality as much as you. The open kitchen is also a nice touch.

Zuma is the best Japanese restaurant where I have ever been… I went there one time, it was full and I had to eat in the entry but the quality of the food and the busy atmosphere of this place are unforgettable. I hope I will go again, to test this modern and creative Japanese food and maybe to see this time a celebrity…and I have also to test the bar and coktails.

The quality of food at this fashionable and very popular high class Japanese restaurant is indeed brilliant. Zuma offers traditional Japanese dishes with a modern take on them like various sushi, sashimi and tempura, as well as some exclusive specialties such as black cod, wagye beef and foie gras, all prepared to an exceptional standard.

Judging by the food, it’s certainly one of the best Japanese restaurants in London. The only drawback is that it’s very noisy. There are lots of people crowded around the bar in the evening and, needless to say, the lounge and the dining hall are always full. Overall, this place has a club-like atmosphere. There were six of us at the table and I could barely hear the person next to me, not to mention those on the other side.

It’s probably a great place to start a big night out, but if you’re looking for something calmer, Miyama or Shogun, or even Nobu and Matsuri, are perhaps better choices.

I love this restaurant. The quality of food is excellent, and the price is fairly reasonable for it’s quality. We had shasimi, sushi, and also tepanyaki. It’s a night to remember.

If you have a special occaision and don’t mind splashing a bit of cash this will certainly impress.

The whole place is humming with an energy which is highlighted by the fast pace of the service, reminded me of a well oiled machine. You can watch your sushi being made aswell as watch the grill kitchen infront of you.

The clientel were very mixed from those obviously out on a special occaision - us- and the 'London regulars, some of whom seemed to think nothing of popping in and spending £100 on a meal on their way home from the gym, in their gym gear!! There were also several families there with well behaved small children who appeared to love the good, healthy food on offer - not a chip in sight!

Amazing but can only afford to eat there once in a blue moon, our meal for 4 came to over £550 - and we shared puddings!

A fantastic restaurant with a great buzzy atmosphere. The bar area isn’t very separate though so when you’re sat down you can still see people stood around drinking. Maybe the area is a bit more separate when the place isn’t quite so busy. It’s not really a problem though and you may get a table right at the other side. The food was gorgeous, though my favourite Japanese dish - black cod - was no where to be seen back when I visited. (They do have it on the menu now though.) The salads are gorgeous - a real taste explosion in the mouth. You can also have more of an informal meal and sit round the grill. Service was good.

I headed to Zuma on Friday night and thought it was fabulous. It does have quite a nightclub atmosphere (this may be different during the day) with heaps of people clustered around the bar, but the food was all brilliantly executed and the cocktails were fabulous which scores them big points in my books. If I went again I would try and get a seat in front of the Robata Grill as it was fascinating to watch all the chefs at work.

Japanese restaurant that’s the place to be at the moment, close to the City and Harrod’s. I meet up with my friend Marco here when he can break free from the office for the occasion.

The black cod is to die for!

Fantastic in every way. Great bar, good cocktails and the restaurant has an extensive menu. Quality is consistently high.

It’s a party atmosphere but tables are sufficiently far apart to allow privacy. Good for corporate entertainment, celebrating with friends/family and for dates.

Always makes me feel good.

A very smart Japanese restaurant ,with popular bar.
Top end prices, but bar and restaurant have that buzz.

Great bar scene, fantastic food and amazingly fresh & tasty sushi. Some dishes can be overpowered by overly salty sauces, but on the whole amazing. The best dishes are the sea bass sashimi with truffle oil, the crispy squid (which is usually light and not oily, but recently has been inconsistent) and the cubed beef tenderloin in spicy soy sauce (ask them to put the sauce on the side as they put too much on).

Fantastic drinks, and good desserts too. Always a good scene.

Zuma is where we go for our extra-special-sod-the-wallet celebrations. Ayako, my wife loves it for the truly excellent modern Japanese food (generously overlooking the fact that the chef is German) while our daughter loves it for its high-class buzz and celebrity pulling-power (Russell Crowe et al). Service is exemplary; the waiters are brilliant at explaining the frankly rather complicated menu and recommending dishes - so that you end up with a smooth and seemingly endless feast that has to include: asparagus tempura, crispy fried squid with green chilli, mouthwatering wagyu beef, black cod with miso, superb sushi and sashimi (very unusual in London) and anything with wasabi mayonnaise. Everything should be shared and is, except, unfortunately, the bill. The wine list is long on spicy or smoky wines that go well with Japanese food, like the Franz Haas Traminer from Alto Adige. The sofa seating behind the bar is a good place to chose to eat and watch the parade of London's fashionable young things
