Zuma Restaurant Review:


Tucked away on levels 5 and 6 of The Landmark shopping mall is this 10,000-square-foot Japanese izakaya-inspired lounge, sushi bar and double-height dining room, designed by Japanese interior design firm Super Potato with the signature dramatic blocks of raw stone. Amidst this earthy vibe that’s completely unexpected in downtown Hong Kong, Zuma features three constantly active open kitchens on the main level, while a chill-out lounge upstairs is accessed via a spiral stairway. Guests are spoiled with a selection of more than 2,000 bottles of wines and Champagnes as well as ten wines served by the glass. Alternatively, there’s an extensive fresh mixed juice menu. Start with nearly transparent sashimi from fish flown in daily from Japan served on hand-thrown Japanese ceramic bowls followed by unique creations from the small-dishes menu, like creamy gomae spinach and a make-your-own tofu combo. Hokkaido scallops from the robata grill are fresh and juicy but taste even better with grated apple and wasabi, while the Nobu-inspired miso-marinated black cod from the signature Zuma dishes menu is nicely grilled until slightly charred on the outside and moist on the inside. Zuma has a mind-boggling array of desserts; you can’t go wrong with the green tea banana cake with coconut ice cream or warm chocolate fondant with a gooey caramel core. There appears to be an overabundance of staff yet it can be difficult to catch anyone's attention once you've been seated.
