The food was good, the service fairly good, very expensive, but this was easily the loudest, deafening restaurant I've ever been to in my entire life, including traveling to 40 countries. My ears literally hurt and I had to go get earplugs. There was no way to carry on any type of conversation without literally shouting. There was no reason for this whatsoever and management had no desire to even turn it down slightly. I will never be back. (By the way, I played drums in a rock band and I know what loud is.) Definitely will never go in there again!

This place is definitely a wow! I went with a small group, and we ordered a variety of things to eat. Standouts for me were the nigiri and the cod. This restaurant has a very impressive alcohol menu as well. It may be worth spending some time with the menu before you go to make the decisions easier. Our server was excellent. I would absolutely come back and would love the opportunity to introduce this spot to others.

Everything I had at Zuma was unbelievable, including the service. I loved the vibe and couldn't say better things about everything I had to eat. I started with a lychee martini and it was so balanced and yummy. The fried tofu was the best tofu I've ever had. The rock shrimp was perfectly prepared. The green tea banana cake was one of the best desserts I've ever had. Zuma will not disappoint.

Nice ambiance and the food was really good, just tastes really fresh. I had the skirt steak cooked medium to perfection, the scallops were great and I also had a bite of my friend's baked potato that was really good. I would definitely go back and want to try other items as well

Oh this place was gorgeous! Beautiful modern and classy decor. Great combination of wood and steel. A feast for the eyes. On to the food. We had almost everything on the menu. Check out the pics. The stand-outs for me were the mushroom rice hot pot, the lobster, the back cod and the seabass sashimi. Now you may say.. well those look like normal Asian fare, but they were absolutely amazing flavors combined into the seemingly simple offerings. There may not be another Asian fusion spot that can compare to this one. It was simply fantastic. Our multiple servers were so thoughtful. We had to rush them because we were going to see a show and they happily obliged but you should go here when you have a couple of hours to savor the flavors! Not saying that it takes forever to get your selections, we just ordered a lot of food! Don't order a meal for yourself to enjoy alone. These dishes are made to be shared family-style so everyone can taste the heavenly goodness. Enjoy!

The young snotty inexperienced hostesses ruined our experience. We made res a week or so ahead amd when we got there, there were almost all tables empty, yet she brings us to the sushi bar counter. We weren't there for sushi, we are fine diners, and wanted a table and were refused, saying there were reservations. I said, we had one for over a week. I had to get mgr to give us a table. Walked past 7 empty nice settings for two, but was given the worse location. When leaving, I mentioned to them and then the lie comes...they said oh they were casino executives. No way, they were obviously couples. Perhaps we were too old for them to give us a nice seating. I'm quite sure we spent more than the majority. We will not return and don't recommend. A shame, cause enjoyed the food and our waitress was great. Need more sophisticated people at front host desk

"I had reservations for a table for two. It was 615pm for a 630 reservation, it wasn't crowded at all. The hostess was trying to give us a high-top table by the bar, instead of a regular table. We decided to sit at at the bar instead.Turns out, the place didn't even fill up. Why they were saving tables to keep empty? no idea. If you are trying to get a new restaurant off the ground, it might make sense to put your best foot forward, not tell people you don't have tables for them.the bar was nice. servers were great, food was good. hostesses were dumb.

Met up with my friend Cindy/allan here for dinner while we were on a Vegas trip. Foods was superb! Allan order tons of his favorites and I had the baked lobster, a bit on the small size but delicious. The drinks was out of this world and strong. The presentation was expected of restaurant in Vegas, classy, fun, hip. Great place to hang out w friends or date spot. Service was superb as they are very attentive with their customers

Hands down one of the best Japanese restaurants on the strip. A single destination offering a choice of sushi, robata skewers, and regular high-quality food! The dishes are served to be shared. This place was packed on a Wednesday, so make reservations. We didn't have reservations, and they accommodated us by seating us in the bar. Every dish we ordered was incredible. The old-fashioned drink was perfectly done with a Single ice cube. Their gyuniku skewers were delicious. The ribeye was tasty. I had a few sushi and rolls, and they were excellent quality and fresh. The service was exceptional, and they checked with us regularly. Their desserts were impressive. They had their chocolate cake special, and it was tasty. The restaurant ambiance was good and not loud. I would recommend this place when you visit Vegas.

An absolute gem! From the warm ambience to the exquisite flavors, every aspect of dining at Zuma was top-notch. The dishes are expertly crafted, bursting with authentic traditional Japanese flavors that tantalize the taste buds. Service was impeccable, ensuring a memorable dining experience.

The place is legit good. Not your typical Vegas restaurant where only the presentation is grandiose with no substance. The sushi items like uni is the Japanese variety (not necessarily better than the Santa Barbara version) but FedEx costs money!, and fatty tuna tastes very good. The grilled scallops from the robata grill came out perfect and tempura dishes were great too. The wagyu beef stuff, black cod, seabass and shitake mushrooms all came out nicely done. The service and prepared drinks were also good. The prices vs. food quality/quantity, however, is a bit of a challenge even in considering the Vegas rate. Not sure I'd pay this much for what is essentially an Izakaya....

I have eaten at a lot of places in Vegas but have never written a review. That is how exceptional I think this place is. It is not just a meal but an experience. Food was top notch. Everything that was brought out tasted like never I ever had even though it was something I had before somewhere else. Food was great but what I think really elevated our experience were our servers. Both Ersha and Dinah truly made sure our group was having a great experience. It felt as if they were our personal servers even though I know they were also helping other tables. Food is what gets people in the door but it is service that brings them back and I will absolutely be coming back.

Felt rushed the entire time we were there. A waitress literally took away our bowl of edamame while we were still eating it (which our main server apologized for and comp'd us for it, when I brought it up), but the entire meal was rushed. It was VERY loud, cramped (they packed people in so close, you could barely move around between your table and the ones nearby, let alone find/get to the bathroom). The music was too loud, the chefs were yelling, and the food was mediocre for being so extremely overpriced. We go to Vegas quite often and expect to pay no less than $100/meal (every meal, for 2 people-it's just the way things are now), but we also expect to get decent quality of food, for what we pay. This place isn't it. $70 for a bottle of less than flavorful sake. The steak wasn't seasoned much, and pretty bland. So, overall, we were not very happy with this restaurant, and probably won't be going back. There are way better options in Vegas, for the same kind of food. (As a note: we have 5 people in our group and everyone agreed, it was not worth the price).
