Zuma in City of London, Westminster

Have been coming here since it opened in 2004. Staff are so friendly, always welcoming, even if i have not been for a while. The food is excellent, there is no denying that, however it has become very very expensive. I found a bill from 2013 and its now 100% more expensive. So its more of a special treat now! best when you are not paying the bill!

An amazing place and food could not be faltered. Don't order the tasting menu if have table for 2 hours. Amazing amount of food but feels rushed at 2 hours

Zuma is always excellent. Service, food and specially the atmosphere are unique. Everything was as our expectations. We will come back sure.

The venue is centrally located and easy to reach, with a vibrant atmosphere that’s always buzzing. The staff are friendly and efficient, and booking in advance is highly recommended to avoid disappointment. The food was fantastic, with an extensive menu offering plenty of choices. Unfortunately, we didn’t book in time and were seated at the counter overlooking the kitchen. While we were happy to have a table, it wasn’t the most comfortable experience, especially if you get the corner seats. The stone-effect counter had a protruding edge that made it difficult to sit comfortably, particularly for taller individuals. Given the high standards of the restaurant, this design feature felt a bit out of place. One concern I had was observing the kitchen staff. While they seemed passionate and energized, I noticed several instances where food was handled with bare hands rather than food-grade gloves, which is standard practice in most high-end establishments. On a few occasions, I saw the senior chef touch the middle portions of cut steaks, possibly to check quality and temperature, but it was off-putting, especially since their hands were touching various surfaces and items and restaurant in the kitchen in between. Despite this, overall, it was a good experience.

i love this restaurant and always go to one in dubai which is bit mire expensive than the on in London but i always have problem finding table because the venue in london is much smaller but location is perfect

Celebrated my birthday here with some family and friends. The service and the food was outstanding. The atmosphere was vibrant all throughout the evening. We had also called in advance to arrange a special birthday plate and vegan cake which our waiter kindly organised for us at the end of the meal. Highly recommend you go and try, very good place.

Below is the private message I sent them....baffling experience. The 2 stars are for the food.... Good Afternoon, I am writing as I want to provide you with some feedback regarding our experience at your London restaurant that me a little deflated, to say the least. I decided to book Zuma to celebrate my birthday. The event was noted on the reservation. When we arrived we were seated at a table for two people. Shortly after our arrival they also seated another couple at the table right next to us. The distance between the 2 tables was a wine bucket away and I felt like I am actually sharing a table with two strangers. I could hear every word they were saying and I am sure they could hear us. I felt so uncomfortable that tried to diminish the discussion to just generic topics. I would have thought that when a special occasion is specified on the booking form you would have the common sense to give the party a little more privacy and in particular when it is a couple. We went through the entire evening being sat with strangers whose conversation I could hear word for word. Moreover, as the table were so closed together the waiter’s behind was almost brushing into me when he had to come and tend to them. On occasions, I actually had to lean back as he could have nudged me while serving them. We eventually got to the desserts. We had clarified previously whose birthday it was but nevertheless they asked if it was Andrew’s and we clarified that it wasn’t. When the desserts were brought they actually had the HB greeting written on the wrong plate! The headed up to my husband with the plate singing the HB song! We then had to clarify that it was actually my birthday. They then turned around and continued to sing to me, stopped when they got to the name as they did not know it and then placed the plate with the BDay greeting in front of me when it was not my dessert! The waiter stated that it was my birthday but they had mixed and matched the plates! The plates were then left the wrong way round with the wrong dessert and BDay plate in front of me. I actually dislike chocolate and had to look at it with a Bday wish. We thought that they would come back and move the desserts at least to match the order but they just left them there and after a while we had to swap them ourselves! So my husband ate his dessert with the BDay wish on the plate. To add insult to injury, the manager then came over and headed to my husband to wish him Happy Birthday to which we had to again explain that it was not him. I only presume that he was guided by the plate. It is beyond me why they did not go back to the kitchen to fix the issue when they clearly well knew that they had made an error. It was downright awkward and insulting. A birthday is a personal day so it is beyond me how one can just dump the wrong dessert with a wish and let somebody else eat it! They might as well not have bothered! It was awkward and insulting. I definitely expected better for the price of £360 pounds or £180 pp. I would not come back nor would I recommend. I have never been insulted before by a commercial establishment on my Birthday. It is beyond me how you could call yourself a luxury dining establishment when you cannot observe a simple etiquette that Pizza Express can probably handle better. At a loss….You left me offended and I regret booking Zuma. Never again! Regards

Da uno dei gruppi più rinomati e per di più a Londra occorre molto di più Personale respingente ordini su antiquati taccuini manager non all altezza Meno male che il cibo risponde ai target del gruppo zuma

Save your money. I cant tell you how many places I would recommend ahead of this one Too big for its boots, classic living on its reputation. Bust in a year

This place is good the staff are superb and the food is delicious well worth trying if you want to rat in a high end establishment it’s not cheap but good

As with every hyped London restaurant i was a bit sceptical but thankfully Zuma proved me wrong. From their tartare with caviar to their yellowfin tuna ceviche and grilled wagyu everything was great. The menu is full of well thought flavor combinations fusing Japanese and European cuisines while using top notch ingredients. Table service was also the best we have experienced in a London restaurant. All this comes with an expensive price but I would definitely recommend the place for a special occasion or if you got the money to spend.

Always excellent food quality and excellent service, i am a fan of this restaurant where i have been going for years and was never disappointed. The sashimi platters are exceptional and the sushi/maqi of the best quality. I will return at least two times this week.

A very beautiful and highly rated place, it's a shame that in such a multicultural city that receives so many tourists, the place is not prepared to receive visitors from other countries. We were greeted with prejudice at the door because we were wearing street clothes and at the reception, despite the restaurant being empty, they didn't let us sit down. In London, as usual it was raining a lot and they made us wait for the taxi outside, in the rain and cold. A horrible experience. I think they should think that the tourist who looks for the place despite not being dressed for the occasion like the locals perhaps plan to, has money and often much more budget to spend on a vacation trip. We are on a 30-day trip visiting the best restaurants, staying only in five-star hotels and after making several purchases, we did some quick research and decided to go to Zuma. If they had been less prejudiced about outings, and as they were quite judgmental, they would have noticed the LV, Prada and Zegna bags that we were holding as we were coming straight from our last outing, which was visiting Harrods. Anyway, if you're a tourist and haven't spent hours getting ready, don't even try to go near it. I understand that many places require reservations, but even if they were full they could have been more hospitable and let us wait sheltered out of the rain since they didn't let us sit down and have dinner.

Without the shadow of a doubt, absolutely outstanding food, (premium tasting menu) and good service. The reason for my 4 stars instead of 5 and my “good service” instead of “great”is twofold. 1) the first 2 (multiple dishes) courses of the menu were served in a rush! We had to ask twice for them to slow down! And even then it’s only thanks to the intervention of a senior staff member, Frenchman Jean-Michel, that the pace sarted to become more normal! 2) when one pays close to £500 for a dinner for two in a restaurant of this standard and reputation, one is entitled to expect to have decent “durable” (if not necessarily “designer”) chopsticks! Instead they use the same cheap, wooden ones as in any Wagamama-style eatery!?!? Honestly!??? And when we commented on that, the answer was “for hygiene reasons”!??? Really??? Do they not have dishwashers??? Plus for eating the dessert they gave us metal cutlery. So go figure why such cheap, horrible wooden chopsticks…

Read service and really great sushi, tempura and robata. Definitely pricey, but we had a great time and so I have to says good value.

Avoid. Service is so poor and top management useless. They need to change their management urgently!!!

Amazing, fresh Japanese food. The location is great, slightly tucked away from the main road through Knightsbridge. Everything from the grilled food to fresh sushi is just delicious, especially the nigiri. I would also suggest leaving room for dessert, they never disappoint. After going here three times, I can confidently recommend Zuma for anything from a spontaneous lunch to a special birthday dinner.

A Hong Kong dessert shredded banana, that exceptional with Swiss, French, British and Isreal. That is not Hokkaidō, that is great. Friendly, welcoming service, many a fine dish has nothing on it.

WOW! Exceptional, creative and tasty dishes beautifully executed. Friendly, welcoming service; nothing was too much trouble. The desserts were amazing. Some dishes were rather overpriced for what they were like the beef and the chicken skewers. Next time we’ll know what to choose for better value.

If you’ve ever been to Japan, Zuma will be a disappointment. It brands itself as an izakaya, but is really a bar with loud music and a bunch of tables. The sashimi was fresh, but curiously tasteless; the fried calamari was overly breaded and dry; a vegetable dish was too salty to eat ( though a replacement was offered). The service, however, was exceptional.

Excellent food and service ! Friendly and attentive staff , ambience is great 👍 Cocktails are fantastic! Highly recommended

Fantastic venue, ambience and atmosphere! Loving the vibe here! Service is superb and the food is exquisite. This is one of the best restaurants in Knightsbridge and we just love it. Highly recommended and we will definitely visit again😀

Amazing from start to finish. Food was fantastic, really tasty and well cooked from starters to dessert. Cocktail delicious and well presented. Impeccable service and fantastic atmosphere.

We had a party of 8all family and all with discerning points of view in brief a tough group. Well from start to completion the food the service and atmosphere was great. The wait staff very genuine professional but not stiff. Hugh Jackman his wife and Eric Bana we’re at the next table and the staff was very professional regarding their service. Anyway the meal was great much better than the Miami restaurant

The food at zuma is always out of this world, especially their grilled food and the black cod. On the expensive side, about £200 for 2 but you pay for the quality.

I loved EVERYTHING!! The signature menu (12 courses) was amazing. The zuma collada cocktail tasted delicious. We had to wait 15 minutes for one course but my husband got his preferred way of cooked meat. It is so easy to book online.

Amazing food and atmosphere. Staff very helpful with gluten free options. Excellent choice of food and drink. An excellent bar available to have a drink pre food. Wonderful selection of champagne too!

Quality food. Excellent service. Highly recommended. Just the type of place to enjoy a great meal without any problems.

Outstanding. Great service. Great food. A nicely understated experience with discrete staff and a good atmosphere. Definitely one to return to.

This spot is good to be seen, happening and lot's of tourist, drinks are great and food is also quite good, good for vegetarians, happy to be here for our second outing here

Delicious food. Fair prices. Very fast and courteous service. Decoration and level of noise very appropriate. We enjoyed a lot the experience.

We decided that we would chose Zuma to celebrate 2 friends birthdays. We decided to pick somewhere we thought would be really special and a great experience. The doorman opened the door and didn’t make eye contact or say anything. None of the staff smiled...

Average food . Considering the value, not worth it at all . Vibes are ok . Wouldnt rate it as a fine dining . Just a regular diner

Food tasted fine. Presentation was great. They were also very expensive. The service was average. The waiters were not very responsive, probably because we didn't order any drinks or starters.

I have difficulties what to think. First of all we arrived perhaps 15 minutes before booking and dinner time to have drinks at the bar. There were only 2 others before us. No problem with that but I expected to have a table right after...

Zuma rarely disappoints. Good vegetarian food, limited but whatever we ate was excellent. The dessert in particular was very good.

We are here last night and had an amazing meal! Absolutely everything they serve is well prepared, fresh and yum! The restaurant has a great buzz and the bar offers a great selection. Definitely one of our favourites and will definitely return!

This is our second visit and despite it being a few years ago the fresh food, interesting twist on standard items (soft shell crabs) and excellent service remain the hallmark for the place. Only complaint is they suffer from their success so if you are...

loved our family meal here. the service was really good and attentive. our waiter was so kind, we loved the wine recommendation. the king crab, and prawn was really good. we will be back!

Appetisers were 5/5, main course was 5/5, ambience was 5/5 and dessert was 5/5. Everything was 5/5 for lack of better words. Maybe the late Jonathan Gold of the Los Angeles Times would have been more eloquent.

Food average, service well below average! Value for money, absolutely not. You will find plenty of much better restaurants in London.

Rude and poor service. Tiny portions. For fine dining felt it was just hurrying people in and hurrying them out. Waitress was so rude - I was trying to keep the atmosphere pleasant to not ruin the experience for the family but I have to...

It was an amazing place and the food was very delicious. The staff that served us were incredibly friendly and attentive, specially one of the guy, with curly blond hair, brownskin, was 5 stars for us. Will definitely come back.

We ordered the tasting menu which was a lot of food and good value for money. Excellent food in a young and busy atmosphere. Every dish came super fast and the large staff were very friendly. Quite an experience, and a night to remember.

It used to be my favourite place when I used go to London but I have been recently and I don’t think is good like it used to be…specially the food because service and drinks are okay.For sure the best place in Knightsbridge and I...

Large variety of Japanese food which was generally average. Not really worth the high prices that were charged. The restaurant was full and was buzzing.

Have nothing more to say 👍👍 congratulations. Amazing rolls, tempura crab salad tuna belly roll etc. all exceptional

Great food, great vibe and service. The sushi was superb If you’re looking for a fun night out with great food , this restaurant is a great choice.

I am a Zuma regular and it never disappoints. The perfect fine dining venue. Gorgeously decorated space, spot on. Highly recommended if you're looking for an upscale dining experience.

The food at zuma is always something else. Its difficult to get tables which means a plus for them but it annoys me so I always end up sitting at the bar which is sometimes too warm

Modern Japanese food was really excellent. A must go if you are in London, food was not so expensive compared to location and the set up, we spent around 600GBP for 9 persons which’s a good price

Good food, good service, good ambience. The robota grill seating is the best spot if you want to see the magic of the kitchen happening.

This is one of the better Japanese restaurants I’ve ever been to!!! Perfect nice lounge house music, perfect and outstanding food!!! Hard to find better!!! 👍😍😉

One of the best restaurants in Knightsbridge, London. A group of 10 girls went for lunch last week. The service was impeccable. The food was freshly prepared & very delicious. The cocktails made to perfection! Highly recommend it.

Was difficult to get a booking but managed to get a table for lunch. The Manager Kenan went out of his way and i would go to eat here Just because of the service. And the food was great . The yellowtail sashimi was fresh...

Small , expensive portions of mediocre quality The tuna was not very fresh, the chicken too spicy, the spinach served in a tasteless, greasy sauce, very little choice of vegetables. Overall not even mediocre but outrageously expensive served in a noisy, cramped restaurant.

As usual after a long break i went back to Zuma for my own enjoyment as i love this place, the food and the people working there. Nothing changed, always perfect, if not not better, We were welcomed as if we had been there yesterday....

The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere. It gets quite busy after 7.30pm and the buzz gives it a very nice vibe. The set up is really smart, starting with the bar and followed by the chef's table with the lounge tables all around it....

We had a seat at the end of the bar. Food was amazing. Especially the wagyu beef and the half lobster. Atmosphere was great. Pricing is high but sometimes you need to pay for hype and quality... We will return soon.
