Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 12/16/2009 - Zuma Sushi Body Piercingly Bad
I'm from Los Angeles and to some they will say, "So what." To them I say, "We know sushi." Well, actually, not all Los Angelinos know sushi, but those that do always have "their sushi place". Zuma would not be one of them. I came to Atlanta the beginning of Oct to work for 4 months and the first place I tried was Zuma with their all you can eat lunch. The rolls seemed adequate and typical --...
Read More On Citysearch iZENstein 12/20/2008 - Sooo Good!Excellent Atmosphere and great service. Some of the best Sushi I have tasted in Atlanta. Very fresh fish. The edamame was perfectly cooked and the Spicy Tuna was just right!
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 11/16/2008 - not fresh sushiwas there one evening and my friend and myself were the only two in sight. tuna tar tar was awesome - spicy, salty, melt in your mouth. a few of our items had not yet come out and in the quiet of the dining room i heard the beep of a microwave. out came our eel, octopus and sea bass and they had obviously come out of the microwave - some of it still frozen in the middle. i know that's the case in...
Read More On Citysearch yumyum37 8/21/2008 - pretty good sushiI am considered a "sushi snob" by friends because of how selective I am. Most people will think Zuma is the best sushi they have ever had, but I cannot agree. I will say it's pretty good, but there's better in Atlanta (although not many places). They do have a very good selection of fish, but some of their pieces are pricey. Overall I would definitely go again just because the best sushi restaura...
Read More On Citysearch badm00n 7/15/2008 - Yummy sushi, good serviceMy husband and I went here on Wednesday night around 7:00 and it was a good experience. There was no wait at all and we were promptly seated. The service was good - they were very attentive and the sushi chef answered our questions. Food was good - I'm a novice sushi eater so I ate the flash fried California roll and a bagel roll but my husband got the big combination plate of sushi (it's like $...
Read More On Citysearch miserusb 6/27/2008 - Good, but results awful.Not a professional reviewer myself, nor a sushi-phile, but must commend the sushi. Some of the best that my naive palate has enjoyed.
However, I was curious the moment I stepped in the door as to why the place was an absolutely barren empty and how the restaurant could turn any sort of profit on an "all-you-can-eat sushi for 15 dollars" lunch. Is it the best-kept secret in Atlanta that Zuma s...
Read More On Citysearch harkinsa 4/15/2008 - Zuma Sushi: the place for sushi in atlantaI do not wish to personally cirticize a fellow critique, but i do not agree with the review underneath me. Out of all the sushi restraunts that i have been to in Atlanta, i find Zuma sushi very pleasean and enjoyable. Yes i do agree my past experiences with Zuma sushi a around a year to two years ago was unpleasant; the food was great, but the service was not up to standards; however, i dined a...
Read More On Citysearch Ttaylor1313 2/27/2008 - Terrible service, decent sushiMy husband and I tried Zuma shortly after they opened, and the service was terrible, and the fish wasn't much better. We recently decided to give them another chance since they have gotten such great reviews recently. The first thing I noticed when we walked in was a strange heavy odor- almost like Clorox. Our waitress was very confused about their drink offerings. She explained, "I don't thi...
Read More On Citysearch mostarnes 2/20/2008 - Good, good sushiDear past reviewer on
typed "stringy toro", You probably misheard O-toro for their Chu-toro, since Chu-toro can contain a little bit more sinew than aforementioned O-toro, which said O-toro from MF is MOST DEFINITELY frozen, thus breaking down cell walls with improper defrosting procedures(I know how MF operates), gives you that oh-so-awesome melt-in-your-mouth feel. Even though most...
Read More On Citysearch thundersroar 11/24/2007 - Not the Best, but Not Bad EitherWe went to Zuma to see if it really lives up to being the best sushi restaurant in town, while sometimes the people who judge these things know a thing or two about food, I would hesitate to say if Zuma is indeed the Best in Atlanta. The service was brisk, but not haughty or slow. The couple we dined with ordered several pieces of nigiri and maki, and everything came at appropriate times. The pri...
Read More On Citysearch teacozy 9/10/2007 - What's all the hype?After reading glowing reviews on here, likening Zuma to MF, I figured I'd give it a shot. It's ok sushi, but not nearly as good as MF. For example, I ordered the Otoro, which I always order at MF, and was quite dissapointed to find that instead of the "melt in your mouth" otoro I was used to, I got something a bit gristly and thin. I tried a lot of different rolls, sashimi, and nagiri and was ...
Read More On Citysearch swimchique 8/16/2007 - Awesome!I love this place. The spicy tuna ( my favorite) is the best I have ever had. Service can be a little slow, but it doesn't stop me from going because the sushi is so good.
Read More On Citysearch susanlove 4/18/2007 - Probably the best sushi in Atlanta right nowI just don't get the bad reviews of Zuma. Yes the service is slow. Yes, it is purely sushi and there are no teriaki or other non-sushi dishes on the menu like there are in the cheaper places like Ru-Sans. Yes it's expensive. But the payoff is what I really think is the best sushi in Atlanta now that Soto is gone. And let's face it: Serving fish this fresh in a landlocked place like Atlanta ...
Read More On Citysearch fridasf 4/18/2007 - Not that great - creative new rolls, but the food and service still need improvement.Like the previous reviewer, i've been to most of the sushi restaurants in the citysearch top 10 and i'm not sure how Zuma can be considered one of the best sushi restaurants in Atlanta. I went with my girlfriend on a thursday night. The restaurant wasn't that busy (maybe half of the tables were empty), but the service was still really slow (took a while to get the food, had to wait to get the c...
Read More On Citysearch porkee 4/15/2007 - Worst Dining Experience - EVER!I cannot believe that Zuma is considered one of the "best" sushi establishments in Atlanta. I went there Saturday night at around 9:30PM, and the staff acted as if we had walked in at closing time. Mind you, they are supposedly open until 1:00AM on Saturday evenings. I would like to point out that Zuma had only half of its tables occupied with guests, but it still took 10 minutes for a waiter...

Read More On Citysearch suedemuffins 12/28/2006 - Best sushi in townI have now visit Zuma twice and had an even better experience the second time. It has quickly surpassed other sushi restaurants as my favorite in town. Both times, there was no wait and when it is warm the patio seating is delightful. To me, the sushi if very filling and large. My personal favorite is the Trust Me Roll and I highly recommend it if you like spicy sushi. The wait staff is very...
Read More On Citysearch adollar 12/16/2006 - Amazing decor, sake list, very hip neighborhood, very romantic, open late!!!!!!This place couldn't be better! I am so glad they opened! I heart MF is the best but I have been there, and it's great, but this place is the BEST for many reasons. I liked it in the beginning when the hostesses would dress more like geishas and back away from your table like the traditional custom. Unfortunately they have gotten more relaxed. I am not sure why this place is not more crowded but i...
Read More On Citysearch reneeextensiondiva 11/14/2006 - Good Sushi RestaurantWe loved the fact that this place was open late (til' 2am on Saturdays) so now we know where to go for a late-night sushi craving. The atmosphere is very sleek and romantic, with small plasma tv's lined along one of the walls as well. But it's also a good place for a group or just a single person as well. We had the miso soup, a Salmon roll, Tuna sashimi pieces, Unagi, and the Trust Me roll. ...

If you want the best food and the best service, ask for the waiter named Sean, he will give you the best service you can ever get at a restaurant. His drinks, timing ...
Read More On Citysearch colin221 8/14/2006 - It only gets betterMy husband and I went to Zuma around Thanksgiving and were impressed by the quality of the sushi. It was beyond fresh and exceptionally prepared. The only thing we were hesitant about returning to was the service. It wasn't bad, but just not the best. My husband and I returned again to give Zuma another try and this time everything was excellent!!!! The best rolls I have ever had. They were ...
Read More On Citysearch savvygirl94 5/29/2006 - Best Sushi in AtlantaI'd call myself somewhat of a "Sushi-snob" and this local joint in the Fourth Ward on Highland Ave is fabulous! Great sake bar and the sushi is fresh, inventive (word maybe borrowed from the Citysearch review?), and above-all, AUTHENTIC!!!
Read More On Citysearch libra14eb 4/24/2006 - GREAT placeI love sushi and eat it often- at shout, twist, soto, genki, etc and this is by far the best. Lots of variety and everthing was so fresh and tasty. Wine was very moderatly priced. Service is a little slow, but never rude. Just dont go there if you are in a hurry. But for a great meal and a cool atmosphere, Zuma is perfect. The back patio is so nice and the inside is modern with flat screen tvs bu...
Read More On Citysearch m_elizabeth 4/24/2006 - My Favorite Sushi in the ATLAfter reading some of the early reviews I was worried that the service would be horrible but was pleasently surprised by how nice and attentive everyone was. Beyond all that, the sushi is Soooooo good. I am a spoiled sushi fan, having had some of the best in the world, and I'm telling you.. this place stands up. The tuna sashimi app. and the rolls that come with sauces are especially amazing. I h...
Read More On Citysearch mustreview 4/6/2006 - Zuma = Best Sushi in the ATLI love Zuma. In the beginning they had a bit of a issue with service - and i think that was mainly due to experience and a bit of a language barrier. But hey - at least you know it's authentically Japanese sushi. The food has always been great. Fresh - masterfully cut and beautifully presented fish. the ambiance is very cool. 15 or so flat screen TVs playing the best of Japanamation - Spirited A...
Read More On Citysearch destro 3/10/2006 - Fantastic SushiIf you are a Sushi lover, this is the best in Atlanta in my opinion. Yes it's a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. The sushi is very fresh and the special rolls are accompained with special sauces that leave your mouth watering.
Read More On Citysearch kd731 8/10/2005 - Great food but service reviews are accurate.The majority of reviewers have talked about the bad service. Its always hard to tell because you never know when someone has an axe to grind.
After going there on an uncrowded evening, I have to agree: The service is really, really slow.
On the other hand, the quality of the sushi is excellent. The fish is very fresh and they have a great combination of traditional and trendy sushi.

but the one thing that made me very upset is the mean, unfriendly
waitress. she had no smile on her face at all. she looked like someone
in her family just died. the owner needs to hire someone else if he
doesn't want to run out of business. i will not go back there if that same waitress is still there. i want to enjoy my mea...

Read More On Citysearch amirrf 3/17/2005 - Fresh and DeliciousI always enjoyed sushi but never like this. Every bite was delicious and fresh tasting. I always eat too much and crave their food a week later. The prices are a little steep for sushi but worth it. I cannot wait to share their food with all my friends and family. It is a great place for dates.
Read More On Citysearch chantike 1/14/2005 - Hope you're not in a hurry...I've eaten here numerous times, and usually the service is slow. I kept thinking they'd work it out with time, but it's not getting much better! I was recently there with a party of five, and our dinner took 2+ hours. We waited for 20 minutes after our table was cleared and finally flagged someone down to get the check. The owner watched us lay down the credit card, but we still had to flag s...
Read More On Citysearch eetten 12/13/2004 - great sushi spotI decided to try a new place near the highlands area. I picked zuma because they had great business hours. Zuma stays open daily until 12:30 and weekends til 2. I work late, so That is perfect for me. I was dining alone but I had a great time the owner is not only cute, but very friendly and helpful. The waitress was very sweet, and the place was ultra sexy, yet comfy.

The waitresses are almost too nice as is the owner who takes a personal interest in his customers and seeing that they are happy. He offered us a free sake which we gladly accepted. Thought the plasma t.v.'s throughout were very cool. Some of the furniture seemed a little fli...

The atmosphere was really cool, and it made dinner feel like a more formal affair than most sushi places. The salads weren't great, but the sushi rolls were wonderful. The spicy tuna was exceptionally good. The only real problem was service. There was no host, and the two waitresses struggled to serve the 6-8 tables that ...
