"The overall experience was excellent! The food is really and l mean really good. We had some sushi to start ( the yellowtail roll is to die for!), scallops and rock shrimp tempura and a delightful coconut dessert to finish it off! Thefood is very tasty, beautiful presentation. Our server was very knowledgeable and we were very satisfied! The prices were a surprise because we expected the restaurant of this sort to have much higher prices. The decor of the restaurant is very subtle and amazingly simple. Already planning to come back!! Zuma will leave you smiling..."

"This is our second consecutive Saturday lunch at Zuma. The food, ambience and service are out of this world. The first time there were 2 of us and we each had the signature menu option. They brought out at least 10-12 different tapa size plates. ALL of the were amazing! The second time, there were 4 of us and we ordered all kinds of different things from the menu. Again everything was tasty and delicious. It is very expensive but worth every dollar, especially on a special occasion. You must like Asian/Japanese food."

"The best food you could ever dream of having. Small plates available great for sharing. I recommend black cod, Alaskin king crab in lime butter, seabass sashimi, roasted lobster, prawn and black cod dumplings, chili garlic edamame and top it off with chocolate with vanilla bean ice cream. Of course there are many more fabulous dishes this is just a tease. I highly recommend this wonderful cuisine experience."

"The food was fantastic. Not only for flavors but also for the presentation. Everything really exquisite and delicious. But the service... What a pity. In such a fancy restaurant the service should be more attentive. We had a reservation for 2;30pm and as soo as we arrived we were informed the kitchen was about to close and some menu items were not available. So I ask: why offer this time slot to book? After we had to hurry us to order. So no time even to think about. No time for a relaxing drink. Later each of my guests received their dishes at different times and at the end some of them had already finished while others were still waiting... Watch out for the water! They forced us so many bottles without asking! Uncomfortable situation."

"Wonderful restaurant, service, food. Our only minor negative is that on two visits we were surprised when the bill arrived with a very high-priced item each time, that had been suggested by the server, and the price was not stated at the time of the recommendation. The first time was a suggestion for a bottle of sake that priced at over $200, this most recent visit it was the wagyu beef that was $144. The overall tab was in a range that we expected, but we always appreciate full disclosure from a restaurant if they are suggesting a dish that costs well above the norm (for other menu items at that restaurant). Overall, fantastic food, service and ambience."

"The only problem with Zum Miami is to book a table, as tey always say they are full, but when you get there they will have a table within 30/45 minutes. I guess its a Miami scene thing, to always say you are fully booked !!!!!!"
