After living in Japan it’s safe to say I felt the food was delicious and authentic. I have been trying to find authentic Japanese food that reminds me of my time in Japan and this place takes the cake. I loved the service, the decor, and the ambiance. I recommend getting the vegetable and shrimp tempura as well as the dessert set. The tempura was light and crispy, the miso soup was delicious and beautifully presented and the chocolate mousse was to die for! The server was so kind and gave me bread pudding on the house to celebrate! I can’t wait to come again!

Stumbled upon Zama randomly exploring near our hotel and it did not disappoint. The spicy lump crab roll may have been the best sushi I’ve ever had. Appetizers to dessert were delicious. I appreciated and atmosphere and service. Definitely recommend.

Great quality Japanese food. All the dishes were incredible, with very fresh sushi. Do not skip the dessert! They are the perfect small sweet bites to end a meal. However, the service took forever. We had to stay for three hours just because it was too slow.

Everything was amazing! Get the Salmon Skin and pistachio salad. It is amazing!!! Another thing I loved is that dessert is mini so you get to choose 3 different things, that is how all dessert should be served. Jonah was our waiter and he was great. Just a wonderful experience ✨️

Vegetarian options are limited, but the veggie roll was delicious. We got the mushroom dish and also ordered bao buns separately. It was adequate. The service was very good.

This place is hands down the best sushi spot in the city, if not my favorite of all time! I absolutely adore sitting at the sushi counter during lunch, it adds a special touch to the experience. My go-to dish here is definitely the seared …

First time at Zama and I would definitely go back. My husband and I did the chefs tasting menu. Price wise it’s totally worth it. Much less expensive than other tasting menus you’d find in the city. Dishes …
