Came here for dine out Boston and I loveee the ambiance and decor of the entire building! Everyone from the outside lobby to the restaurant was very kind and greeted us with a friendly smile! I came on a Tuesday for lunch, and it wasn't packed at all. It took a long time for our waitress to come to our table, which was the reason for losing a star. We were sitting there and the guy who came after us was attended to before us. I ordered the salon tartare, which is a MUST! It's paired perfectly with the rice crackers and it was well seasoned. The presentation was great too. I then ordered the 5 oz skirt steak, which paired nicely with the chimichurri sauce. We then got the yuzu cheesecake. I like that it has sesame around it, giving it a different flavor. It was too tarty for me but my friend liked it! I'd probably come again to try more food! read more

Finneeee I'll update from the bad experience I once had. Zuma is pretty awesome and fun. Get ready to spend over 100$ a person. Amazing cocktails, I always get the spicy passionfruit margarita read more

Great place for a celebration (or a normal meal if you have that kind of money I guess)! I went for my birthday and got the premium omakase. Didn't get pictures of everything but it was all so tasty. The normal maki was somewhat underwhelming, so I'd recommend going for other options if you're ordering a la carte. Chocolate lava cake for dessert was absolutely heavenly. Was also pleased with every cocktail we got! Also, A+ for presentation and freshly grated wasabi read more

Bombastically loud. It reminds me of absolute chaos and deliciousness mixed together. Beautiful food, but don't plan on talking to your dinner mate. So loud. Unless your 30 -go elsewhere. We were seated and offered bottled water within a minute. At first, impressive but actually a sign of what was to come. 300.00 later with no dessert, we were presented with the check and out within an hour. I'd expect more. Food and service were excellent but damn, a whiplash meal! So fast, barely had time to enjoy my wagyu beef tartare and enjoy nigiri tasting selection. read more

Keeping it nice and brief, I believe this establishment is great for birthday celebrations, girls night or just to catch a vibe. I wouldn't come here hungry, personally I didn't find anything I ate to be amazing or worth returning for. We came here celebrating a birthday with a group of 11 so I basically tried everything on the menu. Nothing really stuck out to me. Sushi was mediocre, the US prime beef was nice and juicy-definitely something worth trying. Drinks were just OK. You're really paying for the vibe and nice cool interior but other than that I probably wouldn't return. read more

Wow, what a delightful experience. Usually with chain restaurants like this I have grown to not expect much besides a passionless, shotgun menu of items to hit every generic American. This is not that. It really feels like the people working their were able to cook something they were both passionate about and enjoyed. The menu is not overly large and is curated well. My only gripe is the wine and cocktail list which leans heavily on the Napa Valley and American Spirits instead of welcoming the international variety. I would have hoped to see some more wines from the old world mixed with new world South American and American varieties. Though they do have some outstanding Japanese whiskeys and sake's. The calamari was beautifully done and had such a memorable flavour, it was absolutely to die for. This was a common theme throughout the dining experience. Not something I have come to expect from a chain restaurant with locations across multiple cities. But the chefs curating these menu's do a fine job pouring some passion and thought into the selection. Another top note was the lobster, presentation was fun and thoughtful while also delivering an appropriate amount of food. The torched salmon while small in portion was so incredible in the way it melted in your mouth, the flavours were vibrant, but I was left wanting more. Four small pieces of salmon would have been welcomed instead of two. Two felt more of a tease at tasting. The prices were high, but to be expected at this establishment. You can really control just how pricey your meal is, from $60-75 per person up too several hundreds of dollars. This range really depends on alcohol, dish upgrades like caviar, and how much you are looking to eat. Reservations are relatively easy to get, with same day notice being possible. Overall great food, high prices, small portions, would possibly return. read more

FOOD We got the sliced yellowtail sashimi, sliced seabass sahimi, and the spicy fried chicken from the snacks menu. We got all six of the rolls (spicy tuna and spicy yellowtail were my favorite, would recommend skipping the zuma and the california roll). We also got the black cod, the salmon teriyaki, and the chirashi donburi as our entrees. Entrees were easily the best on the menu, but are too small to consume alone. We were full but not THAT full, even with one entree+app each each six rolls to share. For dessert, we got the yuzu cheesecake and milk chocolate tejina. The yuzu cheesecake was great; I'd skip the milk chocolate tejina. DRINKS They didn't have iced coffee, but got us espresso shots and ice when we asked for some for our dessert. SERVICE Our servers were very friendly! The only thing I'd note is that one of them said my friend could pull out his laptop for a quick call, but then the hostess? Manager? Came by and told him he couldn't have it out because of a restaurant policy not to have people working inside. VIBES Zuma is located inside the Four Seasons hotel and is very pretty. It's also quite spacious. Lots of business lunches going on, since we were there on a weekday afternoon. Overall - some of our food was great, but the menu in general did feel overpriced. I'm glad I got to try it once before I left Boston, but not likely I'd go back again. read more

Love love love Zuma. The caviar did not disappoint especially when accompanied by a nice bottle of Krug. The staff is always so pleasant and eager to fill water, champagne, wine, clear, mark, explain every item served. I used to come here more frequently during the pandemic but have rekindled my love with other places and ended up here on a whim on my birthday with our favorite girl Sweetah( the perfect name to suit her,) Helena and Lina are also fabulous! Last year we did the premium omakase, well worth the price, we did not touch the entree course and we're so stuffed from the truffle pot! read more

My biggest regret is not coming here sooner. I always passed this place up because it's a chain and it's in s hotel. But it's such a nice spot!! We did the premium omakase for $150 pp and we're blown away. There are so many courses. Tempura, sashimi, porridge, steak, corn, cod, you get it all! And with a heaping amount of black truffle on the side The cocktails are lovely as well! That grapefruit one will continue to amaze me. read more

MY SON AND I ATE HERE AND WE BOTH GOT FOOD POISONING TWO DAYS BEFORE THANKSGIVING 2023. I CALLED THE NEXT DAY TO LET THE MANAGER KNOW BEFORE THEIR NEXT DINNER SERVICE TO AVOID OTHERS BECOMING ILL. THEY DECLINED TO TAKE MY CALL AND NEVER CALLED ME BACK. I strongly encourage you NOT to eat at his restaurant. I visited my adult son for Thanksgiving week 2023 in Boston. He made reservations for he and I to eat at Zuma. The staff and atmosphere were really nice. The restaurant is beautiful. We ate several different pieces of sushi and the skewers. Overnight I became very sick and was up all night. I reached out to my son the next day and was informed that he too had become ill. I've experienced food poisoning one other time 20 years ago and this was the same feeling. We both spent the better part of the day under the weather with GI issues. Later in the afternoon, I called the restaurant to let them know what we had experienced so that the manager could address it with the staff before their next evening service. I explained very clearly to the hostess / staff that my son and I ate there the night before and both came down with moderate food poisoning symptoms. She indicated that she would pass along my message and that the manager would call me back later as they were beginning prep for dinner service. He/she never did. I wasn't seeking a refund or any form of compensation. I simply wanted to speak with the manager and explain what we ate and let him/her know about the food poisoning so that he/she might address it with the chefs and ensure that no one else got sick the next night. I understood that he/she was going to be busy and was happy to speak later. However the complete disregard for the safety of their guests is concerning to me. Having stayed at more than one Four Seasons properties over the years, I expect more from their restaurants and expect that a restaurant manager would want to speak with a customer who became ill and at a minimum try to figure out what went wrong to avoid a reoccurrence. I strongly discourage anyone from eating here. MW read more

I went to Zuma for my birthday and I was very impressed with the staff. Everyone was super polite and very welcoming. I got the premium ($165) omakase and it was a great experience. The food was great, although portions are small, but what they lack in portion size, they compensate with the quality and taste of the food. I personally liked the steak and the mushroom risotto-like dish in the omakase. The sushi was great, and they were very fresh. I like how they grind the wasabi in front of you to ensure freshness. The servers were really attentive (shout out to Anton), and he was a great knowledgeable, friendly person. I would definitely come back again for another meal. It is a bit of a splurge, but I believe that it is worth it as I got full and I eat a lot for a single person read more

Came for Sunday brunch in March 2022. $85/pp for unlimited apps and sushi, choice of one entree, and dessert for the table. There's options for menu upgrades and addons, but we stuck to the basics. FANTASTIC! Highlights: - hot apps: spicy fried chicken karaage, miso butter corn (on the cob) - sushi: salmon, tuna and yellowtail are included, and very fresh - entrees: the salmon teriyaki was luscious and tender; the chicken sando was loosely formed into what tasted like a truffle-basted chicken Dessert platter was also wonderful. For those branching with kids, age 5-12 years are half price, under 5 years are free. If you're celebrating a special occasion, this feels like it's worth it. read more

$95 pp brunch AYCE Japanese tapas, sushi, entree, and dessert at the Four Seasons hotel with top notch service and luxe hip ambiance to boot. There are two Four Seasons Hotels in Boston. Make sure you go to the right one. Bathrooms are just outside the restaurant--cool decor, feels unusually like you stepped into the Matrix. Unless you direct otherwise, food comes out with miso soup and tapas first, then nigiri and sashimi, followed by entree (salmon teriyaki and beef tenderloins were our party's picks). Closes with a dessert platter that is a dream. Tons of food. It was my only meal that day. Great cocktail menu, and lots more you can order with additional charge on top of the $pp price (eg miso cod, uni, etc). read more

Went to Zuma on a Wednesday night while visiting Boston. It's in the Four Seasons hotel so I had high hopes. The decor is beautiful and it was pretty busy. Nice vibe. The staff is friendly but the service is very slow. I had to ask for my water to be refilled three times. Our server would ask us something or answer a question and then walk away and we wouldn't see her again for 15 minutes. The food was ok. Having been to some pretty upscale sushi restaurants, I would see the sushi and sashimi is nothing special. The black cod was good. We got so tired waiting for service that we skipped dessert. For the prices we expected a better experience. read more

The best things about this place is the decor and the service. Very attentive and engaging staff. The food is good for a chain restaurant but falls far short of what they are charging for it. They feel like they want to be something like Nobu based on their decor and pricing but are nowhere close. If the menu items are about 25% cheaper, then it'll be on target. Moving to beverages - the markups on the wine are borderline criminal. Actually, fully criminal. Glasses of wine are priced at approximately what the bottle retails for. So you are looking at a 400% markups which is insulting to the customers. Japanese whiskeys are also massively overpriced. Overall, its a story of not realizing when you are just pricing yourself to a point of failure. You cannot sell a Civic for $80,000 and think people are not going to notice. read more

Definitely a foodie highlight of a recent trip to Boston! I really recommend making it for their brunch option, where you can get essentially all you can eat/endless starters + nigiri/sashimi, a choice of an entree, and a dessert platter! Everything in the starter section was delicious, and their raw fish was extremely high quality fish. Literally could not stop ordering it. I got the salmon teriyaki as my main dish, and it was cooked really well + not overcooked like some salmon. Dessert-wise, all the fresh fruit + small bites were the perfect end, and the ice cream (small scoops of guava, matcha, & mango IIRC) was so tasty. Overall I feel like it was definitely well worth the ~$75 price tag considering you can eat as much as you like with such a good variety! The atmosphere was so beautiful, as well! They really put thought into their interior design & made it feel very high-end. After a while the music they played started to change a bit, and when I went to the bathroom I noticed a whole DJ?! His music choices were spot on too! Was definitely trying to Shazam a few songs lol. Would definitely come back + recommend it to anyone in Boston! read more

The fusion food is done well here! It's quite the upper scale experience. The customer service is very professional and maintains a wonderful experience. I ordered the following: soft shell crab, chirashai maki, spicy beef tenderloin, and cod fish. I have been here before for restaurant week and that is DEFINITELY must come at that time. After restaurant week, I came back again for a dinner experience. Overall the space is a lovely atmosphere but quite hard to be seated on the side by the windows. I was under the impression that we may be able to seat by the windows to view the evening view by the windows, but it's harder to get those limited seats. We thought we may be able to sit closer by the windows view, but it's limited due to reservations and larger parties. Second time of return, the food is consistent and continues to leave my tummy very satisfied and full! read more

Honestly I dont know where to start. Service 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Food 12/10 Parking? 2/10 My husband and I JUST moved to Boston from DC and decided to treat ourselves after a month of garbage cheap take out and barely eatable employee meals at work. We decided to order the omakase (prefixed menu) and weren't disappointed. The food was mind blowing. We were speechless and couldn't help but just laugh at how stupidly good the food was. We also got a few drinks. My favorite was the Mexican zombie. We look forward to our next visit. read more

The sushi here is the best in Boston. Though the selection of maki is limited, each of the rolls are so delicately done with fresh ingredients. I also loved the shishito peppers with this special dipping sauce and an herb salt. I had a mock tail because it was lunch with strawberries and raspberries and it was incredible. I have also tried the sea bass on a previous visit and would recommend that as well. You can't wrong here - everything is great with very top quality ingredients and nothing is over sauced. read more

Zuma - Every maki on the menu - Japanese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This is really more of a 3.5 but I hesitate to put a 4 because it's a 7/10 and not an 8/10. Atmosphere is nice and service is ok--I personally don't like so many people serving one table and found it was hard to focus on what the dish they were explaining was. Food is ok--some things are insanely wonderful, some things are a strong miss. The rolls specifically are all over the place. Sashimi is fine, appetizers are ok (except the miso soup.. awful with a strong charcoal aftertaste?). Cocktails are good. Super overpriced though-market price for uni nigiri was $36 when I went. Lots of things are "off-menu" and those are better than what's on the menu. read more

Went to Zuma for a GNO and it exceeded our expectations. Our server was incredible and so helpful as it was our first time dining there. The food and drinks were amazing. Some of the best and freshest sushi I have ever tried. For my sober pals, they have delicious NA drinks too! The only tip/slight con that I would add is I wouldn't go here if I was extremely hungry. But it is a great place for a light non overwhelming meal and a fun night. read more

Came here during Valentines Day. Had to wait 30 minutes after our time of reservation for a table: The ambiance is present here - and the food is fine: the prawns were perfectly fried and the salmon torched belly you could really taste the torched flavor. Between the desserts, I liked the baked cheese cake the tartness of the raspberry goes well with the cheesecake. The salmon was not that great and the steak was okay (we got spicy beef with sauce 8 oz) Not pictured here that was good was the shittake mushrooms. . Really small portions is the one of the downsides, but you come here to enjoy rather than eat in my opinion. read more

But the last time I went there customer service was terrible had an argument with the manager that night. It's not how it used to be 3 years ago. But because they make so much money they don't at all care about how people experience them anymore. My waitresses name was Clara she was a 0/10 read more

Wow! Just wow! We had a fantastic girls night out at Zuma and can't wait to come back! Zuma has a family style vibe, where you order multiple sushi rolls, appetizers, and entrees for the table. To start off we ordered the lychee martini and raspberry & passion fruit martini. Both were outstanding! The raspberry & passion fruit had a strong natural flavor and a refreshing froth. To start off we ordered calamari, seared tuna, and prawn gyozas. The gyozas were cooked perfectly and were packed with prawn meat. The calamari was well seasoned on the outside but lacked flavor on the inside. The tuna was perfect and had great complimentary sauces. For dinner we ordered a California maki, wagyu tataki, dynamite spider maki and a couple of off the menu rolls. The wagyu was lightly seared and was topped with truffle. The California maki was a happy surprise and well received at the table. We finished the night with the molten chocolate cake with hazelnuts and that was delicious as well! Big thanks to Thu for being an amazing server and for going above and beyond with her service and recommendations! read more

We ordered the uni (pay extra for) was so good. Everything was fresh. For the entrée, I had the salmon and they cooked it medium rare and it was perfect. For dessert, they had a platter with a variety of sweets. Overall it was a great experience and definitely worth it for the unlimited amount of food. read more

Zuma - This is soooooooooooo good! - Japanese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

FOOD: 9.5/10 SERVICE: 9/10 AMBIANCE: 9/10 RECOMMENDATION: spicy beef tenderloin ZUMA IS RATED GAF! I came here with my bbg for the weekend brunch and I must say, I was utterly impressed. I would recommend the nigiris over the sashimi because the quality of the fish was a lot better. My favorite would definitely be the yellowtail but the salmon was pretty good too. The spicy tuna maki was also pretty fire but what really stole my heart was the spicy beef tenderloin. Oh my goooi that thang was so tender. I would come back just for that tenderloin. I also thought the presentation for the dessert was quite exquisite. The strawberry pistachio cake was so bomb. I forgot the name of my server but he was really attentive and friendly with that A1 service. I would also like to mention how Zuma played really good music. When I was walking out to leave I saw that there was a DJ playing music across the bar the whole time, I was quite shookith. Next time, I'll probably come back to try their omakase. Stay tuned for a further update. read more

Modern, minimalistic, and always a great dining experience! We've been here 3x since our move to Boston and love the food each time. The ambiance is modern and minimalistic. The covid restrictions are followed and the restaurant is extremely clean and well spaced apart. The waiters are attentive and efficient, even offering great recommendations based on personal preferences. The food is the best! We've tried the rice pot, toro, sashimi, chef's specialty selected sushi, and more. The fish is always fresh and tender. The price is well worth the flavors. We especially love getting drinks here. The cocktails are unique and delicious, especially the yuzu blossom and martini's. Overall, a great restaurant to try out if you're in Boston. *My only reservation for the one star off is that we found hair on our food the last visit! We didn't escalate it because we didn't want to ruin the night, but it was slightly unappealing. read more
