行家兼老友約食飯,今次由我發板,當然要搵間好嘢試試,今期就去試位於中環置地出名嘅過江龍,由英國進駐嘅日本料理,仲好似係啱啱攞咗個由 英國飲食權威雜誌《餐廳》選為2009年全球100間最佳餐廳,名氣就熱爆,唔知質素係點。去到置地廣場樓下,有數部 lift 可以直達餐廳,上到餐廳,receptionist 隨即禮貌地帶我入坐,廚房是開放式的,坐椅闊落,有arm-rest,似去咗酒店coffee shop ; 我兩今晚去嘅係餐廳部份,餐廳盡頭有一間玻璃房,可以做私人飯局,佈置特別,設計師似乎好喜歡利用玻璃做嘅裝修,餐廳樓底又高,夠哂氣派,用上落地玻璃,但係枱與枱之間嘅距離反而太近,變得私人空間減少,美中不足 ; 而沿旋轉樓梯拾級而上,樓上仲有一層酒吧區,睇設計上應該係迎合西方人口味似的。我朋友有個背囊,佢地可以代客人保管住,而且係獨立的,有一張卡比你揸手,走之前交比侍應就可以攞返你嘅物品,照顧周到。menu 一打開頭版有一頁序,講解餐廳主旨。一開始佢話自己係當代日本居酒屋,我又唔覺喎,其實一入門口我就唔覺佢係日本料理,似食西餐多過食日本菜 ; 佢話自己唔係供應定食,而係for sharing

行家兼老友約食飯,今次由我發板,當然要搵間好嘢試試,今期就去試位於中環置地出名嘅過江龍,由英國進駐嘅日本料理,仲好似係啱啱攞咗個由 英國飲食權威雜誌《餐廳》選為2009年全球100間最佳餐廳,名氣就熱爆,唔知質素係點。

去到置地廣場樓下,有數部 lift 可以直達餐廳,上到餐廳,receptionist 隨即禮貌地帶我入坐,廚房是開放式的,坐椅闊落,有arm-rest,似去咗酒店coffee shop ; 我兩今晚去嘅係餐廳部份,餐廳盡頭有一間玻璃房,可以做私人飯局,佈置特別,設計師似乎好喜歡利用玻璃做嘅裝修,餐廳樓底又高,夠哂氣派,用上落地玻璃,但係枱與枱之間嘅距離反而太近,變得私人空間減少,美中不足 ; 而沿旋轉樓梯拾級而上,樓上仲有一層酒吧區,睇設計上應該係迎合西方人口味似的。

我朋友有個背囊,佢地可以代客人保管住,而且係獨立的,有一張卡比你揸手,走之前交比侍應就可以攞返你嘅物品,照顧周到。

menu 一打開頭版有一頁序,講解餐廳主旨。一開始佢話自己係當代日本居酒屋,我又唔覺喎,其實一入門口我就唔覺佢係日本料理,似食西餐多過食日本菜 ; 佢話自己唔係供應定食,而係for sharing咁就係人都知日本居酒屋咪就係咁架啦,駛乜佢講呢又 ; 最後,仲要講明餸菜係會喺席間一路上枱,咁當然啦,唔通學似中國菜擺到成枱都係,又或者法國菜咁未食完一道菜,唔可以上第二道菜咩。寫呢段嘢嘅人真係唔知想寫比邊過睇呢。

仲有一點特別嘅,佢地有春日推介,亦都有set供應嘅。

講返食物方面:(以下係依照當晚上菜次序)

1. Hot Sake Carafe - Tengumai, Yawara Junmai (A fine Jumai which brings out its true flavour when heated, A comfort sake to warm up your soul) 300ml $160 - 相片欠奉因賣相冇乜特別,器皿用暖水坐住,保持溫度,味道入口唔太清香,老友亦覺得唔夠純,可能我揀得太cheap掛,因為好多酒以同等份量都要好幾百,甚至上千蚊,不過放得呢隻酒喺menu比客人揀,我諗佢地都應該慎重選擇貨源。

2. arjun's chu toro roll (prime tuna and finely diced spring onions) 蔥花中級鮪魚卷 $110 - 一上枱,我仍然掛住影相之際,老友已經叫我快啲吃,因為紫菜已經開始淋,但係只不過係上枱兩分鐘,好明顯係處理食材技術出問題,其實我見上枱時候已經淋咗,有可能係佢嘅飯實在有啲偏濕,不過佢嘅toro茸因為非常肥美,魚脂多而甘香,用料上乘但烹調技術尚待改善 ; 子薑鮮嫰,Wasabi新鮮磨製,呢種級數餐廳絶對要用上,此點不足為奇。

3. tai no sashimi salada to umesu (sea bream sashimi salad with mizuna, myoga and umeboshi vinaigrette) 薄切鯛魚沙拉配梅子醋 $120 - 係佢地嘅春日推介之一,鯛魚鮮味,下面舖有生菜絲,灑上梅子醋,但味道過濃,雖然魚夠新鮮,但鮮味被搶。

4. Sashimi moriawase 7 sashimi selection $540 - 每款三片,合共21片,價錢合理,而且真係相當新鮮,用上去一大舊冰塊同碎冰盛載,難怪咁多人都話要試佢地嘅刺身,甘蝦爽甜 ; 三文魚肥瘦適中,油脂分佈均勻 ; 藍鰭鮪(bluefin tuna)雖然油脂唔重,但冇筋,值得一讚 ; 帆立貝就唔夠爽,口感欠奉 ; 總括來說,一個 "鮮" 字。

5. edamame (steamed with sea salt) 海鹽枝豆 $40 - 做佐酒食品或前菜就ok,但係竟然食到一半嘅中途至上枱就未免........枝豆軟熟,灑上粗海鹽,味道ok。

6. yasai no moriawase (assorted vegetables tempura) 野菜天婦羅 $80 - 脆槳夠薄,炸嘅火喉控制恰當,吸油紙上冇咩多餘油份,但係蕃薯、南瓜就略嫌切得太薄,冇咩口感之餘,仲因為薄身關係,炸嘅途中水份好易流失。

7. corn tempura 粟米天婦羅 - 用上粟米做天婦羅都係第一次見,係由侍應介紹,原來係未放上主餐牌的,粟米表面積大,可以上多啲炸槳,炸至金黃香脆,質地有啲似爆谷,但係粟米入面水份充足,而且鮮甜好多,灑上些少胡椒粉,配埋酒嚟食,感覺一流。

8. buta-bara yuzu miso (black pork belly with yuzu and miso) 燒黑豚腩肉配柚子麵豉醬 $165 - 兩串豬腩肉,每串三舊,賣相吸引,第一舊半肥半瘦,可惜肥豬肉部份係肥豬肉一大舊,入口一咬,豬肉即時在口溶化,感覺係缺堤氾濫一樣似的,頓時成個口都係豬油,感覺只係比食東坡肉好少少,呢種感覺本人就唔識欣賞 ; 第二舊就少啲肥多啲瘦,比之前多啲咬口,用上柚子麵豉醬都係啱嘅,柚子帶少少酸可以中和多餘油份 ; 最後一舊就全瘦,竟然係全瘦,唔知佢想點,仲難食過煲老火湯嘅瘦肉,非常硬而且鞋口,唔合格。結論係,雖然第一舊頗肥膩,但亦都係我倆覺得最好味嘅。

9. tokudai wafu asparagasu (asparagus with wafu sauce and sesame) 芝麻燒露荀 $70 - 露荀鮮嫰,輕輕地燒一燒,用芝麻加wafu sauce(豉油中加上醋味沙律醬),清甜露荀配上濃味醬油,味道得到平衡,處理得非常好。

10. 鹽燒三文魚頭 - 三文魚本身夠肥,燒出嚟故然特別香,一碟四舊,見廚師選取都係魚肉偏多部位,冇魚頭骨同膠質比你啜,我爭啲以為佢地上錯餸,可以話係似魚鮫或者係魚身嘅肉多啲,好明顯唔係為本地人而設 ; 外面燒得香脆,裡面亦唔會太乾,只係感覺唔似食魚頭吧。

11. 香蕉蛋糕配綠茶雪糕 - 餐牌入面唔見甜品項目,侍應介紹咗呢樣,香蕉蛋糕香蕉味濃而且鬆軟,不過唔知點解要配上同樣重味嘅黑芝麻嚟搶奪佢嘅味道 ; 綠茶雪糕一上枱就知出事,你睇吓佢嘅顏色,竟然係呈淺綠色,入口淨啲感覺唔到自己係食緊綠茶雪糕,味道淡如水,最嚴重係食食吓有硬物,咪係細小冰粒,一定係溶過,侍應解釋佢地嘅雪糕係自己製造的,so what? I dun care,我最關心嘅係處理食物嘅質素同技巧,如果係自己搞唔掂嘅,倒不如出去訂人地做嘅出品返嚟賣好過。

12. 玄米茶 - 因為食得太飽,老友叫咗茶嚟消滯,又唔知佢地係咪serve慣西人,都係一個order serve 一個人嘅份量,竟然只係拎一隻杯嚟,,又話寫到明係sharing,呢點就不夠細心了。

Comments: 又一間名過於實,話自己做日本料理,入面真係唔多覺有日本人嚟吃,但差不多全場九成客係西人,而且唔知係咪我地張枱離open kitchen太遠,我就見唔到佢地起用日本師傅,唔見得會有幾正宗。但點解佢地都會入圍呢?? 我估好可能係與佢嘅總部地點有關囉。不過服務方面算幾專業嘅,細心,非常有禮貌,每上一道菜都會講解製法同埋醬料點用,但係餸菜上枱次序就好似未經安排咁,呢點就唔專業,應該由淡食到濃,前菜至到主菜,刺身之後到壽司卷物。食完後,我倆都覺得如果自己出錢嘅話,一定唔會嚟呢度食,佢地做嘅日本菜係比西人食嘅。

We have been planning to try out this well-known restaurant.
Be honest, it's not my style to pay a lot for a meal and I have been checking if it worths for Zuma. A lot of mixing remarks, some told me the food is not as good before, some told me the dessert is great that not-to-miss and some said fair only not worth the price. I decided to try out during the long weekend.
Food:
Appetizer: I have no complain - all the food (ingredients) are the best quality. I seldom eat Sashimi but here, the sashimi is so fresh that not only I tried but I loved it! The sushi is simply GREAT! I couldn't stop! And the home-made Tofu, you can hardly find it anywhere else (It is the traditional Japanese Tofu they are serving). The grill is lovely, don't miss the chicken and the mushroom!
Maincourse:
Both of us chose a meat dish, the meat - supreme quality! You can tell not the culinary skills but the meat itself also can make you a great meal!
Dessert:
May be I had great expectation, I was very disappointed. Dessert - remember - it's just a platter - hence you have limited choice and limited portion. I was expecting more may be hence none of us were happy about that.
Service:
They tried to be attentive and smiley but hiccups - my husband was very upset as they kept on asking us when they should serve our main course (seems like they want the table back). And though my husband kept on saying he wanted it later but still he was being served the main course and he had to cut his appetizer.... that was a bit pissing off. And he was very upset about the coffee tea to be charged as he expected it should be included - well, I would say fair to Zuma, as beverage is where you can get the revenue with this super value brunch.
One great thing to mention - bring you kid there, super children friendly. My child was given colouring pencil when she arrived, they have kids menu (she enjoyed it) and they even have a kids' room to keep her happy while we can enjoy our brunch! Let alone that kids eat free! Sounds great for family, right?!

Finding a Japanese buffet in HK is already unusual. Finding one with Zuma's high quality at a great price was outstanding. My wife and I celebrated our birthday with family and friends in one of Zuma's private rooms. Since my sister-in-law was treating us, we wanted something that wouldn't cost her too much. The $428 brunch (without alcoholic drinks) was an incredible value: the last time I had lunch at Zuma it cost more than $700, just for myself.The lunch consists of a buffet, one main course

Finding a Japanese buffet in HK is already unusual. Finding one with Zuma's high quality at a great price was outstanding.

My wife and I celebrated our birthday with family and friends in one of Zuma's private rooms. Since my sister-in-law was treating us, we wanted something that wouldn't cost her too much. The $428 brunch (without alcoholic drinks) was an incredible value: the last time I had lunch at Zuma it cost more than $700, just for myself.

The lunch consists of a buffet, one main course from the menu (some examples in the pictures above) and dessert (which comes in a nice platter if you are in a group). Drinkers can enjoy champagne or sake for an extra charge.

Since I tend to eat a lot, the buffet was my favorite part. A variety of maki (rolls) were available, including veg., tuna, soft-shelled crab, and california. There were also square unagi sushi, very tasty. The sashimi selection included hamachi, kanpachi, tuna, tako, and salmon. The portion sizes are quite small, so it is possible to try a little bit of everything without filling up.

That was only on part of the cold selections. There were also seaweed salads, goma-ae, and seared tuna tataki. A cold soba table was set up, including poached eggs and all of the scallion, ginger, etc. to add into the soba sauce. An interesting offering at the cold table was black sesame tofu; I didn't try any but some of the family did and they enjoyed it. Slices of deep-fried tofu with salad leaves were also available, and they were nice.

Hot food included yakitori skewers, grilled chicken wings, and several other robatayaki e.g. mushrooms. There were some very, very tasty fried chicken kara-age with a sauce that looked like tartar sauce but tasted much better! I kept coming back...

We had to save room for the main course, which was a challenge. But the selections included very tasty glazed salmon, grilled sirloin steak, shrimp and vegetable tempura, and grilled lamb chop. I had the salmon and it was very satisfying, with a light miso-based glaze that did not overpower the flavor of the fish. Others at the table reported good things about the grilled steak and the lamb chop disappeared without complaint. I also tried some of the tempura dishes and the vegetables were fresh and flavorful, without too much batter or too long in the deep fry pit.

For ordinary people without fat expense accounts, this is a great way to enjoy Zuma's food. No surprise, then, that the restaurant was completely full. So much for the recession.

十一月初九‧晴 原本都想試試這裡的食物的,但聽身邊的食友談得太多,已打消了念頭。不來吃東西,但如果說要找地方喝一杯的話,這裡確實又很不錯。是晚約了朋友吃飯,早點出來,在這裡來個歡樂時光。 這裡用餐的地方在5樓,而6樓就全層也是酒吧。裝修佈置是這裡的強項,這裡很有格調,坐在出面的高椅子,可以望到外面的景致,很不錯的。 第一轉,先來清酒,顧及友人的口味,選了秋田的福小町,用一個小巧的酒瓶,放在堆滿碎冰的小木盒中盛來,賣相不錯的。味道偏向中辛口,喝起來口感清爽,帶點果香,作為餐前酒,稱職又對題。300毫升賣二百三十多,亦是合理價錢; 第二轉就試試這裡的馬天尼,要了Gooseberry及綠茶的選擇。比較之下,綠茶馬天尼的味道雖然怪怪的,但至少喝起來有伏特加阿苦艾酒的味道,而Gooseberry馬天尼則像一杯果汁,很甜。 喝這個馬天尼的時候還有一個小插曲,就是朋友在湊近杯邊之際,發現在酒杯上有一條長長的裂痕,作為一間都頗高級的酒吧,這樣也察覺不出來,太不小心了。結果,是當然急急給我們換來另一杯。談東說西,不經意又過了預訂吃飯的時間,要急急轉場了。 埋單五百多,以地方及環境計,合理價錢。

十一月初九‧晴

原本都想試試這裡的食物的,但聽身邊的食友談得太多,已打消了念頭。不來吃東西,但如果說要找地方喝一杯的話,這裡確實又很不錯。是晚約了朋友吃飯,早點出來,在這裡來個歡樂時光。

這裡用餐的地方在5樓,而6樓就全層也是酒吧。裝修佈置是這裡的強項,這裡很有格調,坐在出面的高椅子,可以望到外面的景致,很不錯的。

第一轉,先來清酒,顧及友人的口味,選了秋田的福小町,用一個小巧的酒瓶,放在堆滿碎冰的小木盒中盛來,賣相不錯的。味道偏向中辛口,喝起來口感清爽,帶點果香,作為餐前酒,稱職又對題。300毫升賣二百三十多,亦是合理價錢;

第二轉就試試這裡的馬天尼,要了Gooseberry及綠茶的選擇。比較之下,綠茶馬天尼的味道雖然怪怪的,但至少喝起來有伏特加阿苦艾酒的味道,而Gooseberry馬天尼則像一杯果汁,很甜。

喝這個馬天尼的時候還有一個小插曲,就是朋友在湊近杯邊之際,發現在酒杯上有一條長長的裂痕,作為一間都頗高級的酒吧,這樣也察覺不出來,太不小心了。結果,是當然急急給我們換來另一杯。

談東說西,不經意又過了預訂吃飯的時間,要急急轉場了。

Zuma is really one of the decent restaurants in Hong Kong. The design is awesome, it is a combination of traditional Japanese with Western influences. The service was a little slow to start, but waiter was attentive. All the dishes are in simple presentation, which I like it. The appetizers here taste better than the main dishes. If any of you go there should try the wagyu beef tartare and hamachi roll. Besides this, the drink here is unique, is fulfilled of Japanese ingredients.

Christmas Day 和家人到Zuma食lunch buffet,聖誕節並沒有加價,仍是四百幾一位,平時則嫌貴,聖誕節則變得抵食。如果想包sake和champaign任飲,每位加多百幾元就可以了。自助餐包括很多不同款的壽司、四款刺身、生蠔、冷麵、炸物和煮物。壽司的賣相都非常美觀,令人每件都想試一試。壽司的味道其實不錯,只是飯太乾,像雪過一樣。除自助餐的食物外,還有一些order的食物,如串燒、手卷,沙律、麵豉湯及每人一客的主菜。 串燒的款式不很多,只有雞肉串、雞翼串及蝦串。雞翼串及蝦串都不錯,雞翼串的皮燒掉了脂肪變得脆脆的,蝦串則是原隻蝦燒的。手卷是即叫即做的,見到最多人叫的是軟殼蟹卷,所以也叫了,軟殼蟹份量十足,怪不得這麼受歡迎。沙律很好味,一定要order,重點是車里茄,實在又甜又多汁,實在未吃這麼好吃的車里茄! 主菜方面有五六款選擇,選了燒蝦、汁燒雞和燒sirlon,味道一般但很豐富lor。更多相片:http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/pathsu/article?mid=376

十一月下旬用眼吃的下午茶是一餐用視覺感受多於用味覺品嚐的簡餐。金融海嘯下飲食界來了一番新景象,從前高不可攀的星級餐廳,亦要加開下午茶「抗海嘯」套餐幫補家計,就算被Miele Guide評位亞洲廿大餐廳之一的Zuma亦不例外。Zuma食物質素與環境配套各走一端,中、西評核餐廳思維模式大不同,名店應有的配套她不會少,要在二、三線的Guide Book拿下一席位一點不難。避開正餐,走精面在三至六時段看看Zuma可「貴」一面。環境至上!花崗石及木檯椅設計,加上一些陶器裝潢都是星級餐廳不可缺的元素,是這裡最大賣點,當然打理及修補費用就羊毛出自羊身上。秋風送爽二人坐到露天位置,侍應簡介餐牌後,就由幾款親民下午茶套餐中選了掛頭牌炭燒組合,對方要了甜品精選。同Nobu一樣都是用木筷,吃西日料理當然亦要有叉及羹,簡簡單單跟這裡風格很合襯,印象中Nobu、Zuma、Roka及Megu幾間星級西日料理會用上和式靚筷的好似就只得Megu。先說說燒物,由正中央的爐端燒廚房出品,燒香菇、牛柳青椒串、雞翼、帶子及脆肉瓜置在加熱過的靚陶碟上,擺設及微調方面也沒什麼挑剔。這裡燒物不走香口乾身路線,以蔥茸醋汁或芥末柚子汁

十一月下旬用眼吃的下午茶

是一餐用視覺感受多於用味覺品嚐的簡餐。

金融海嘯下飲食界來了一番新景象,從前高不可攀的星級餐廳,亦要加開下午茶「抗海嘯」套餐幫補家計,就算被Miele Guide評位亞洲廿大餐廳之一的Zuma
亦不例外。

Zuma食物質素與環境配套各走一端,中、西評核餐廳思維模式大不同,名店應有的配套她不會少,要在二、三線的Guide Book拿下一席位一點不難。避開正餐,走精面在三至六時段看看Zuma可「貴」一面。

環境至上!花崗石及木檯椅設計,加上一些陶器裝潢都是星級餐廳不可缺的元素,是這裡最大賣點,當然打理及修補費用就羊毛出自羊身上。秋風送爽二人坐到露天位置,侍應簡介餐牌後,就由幾款親民下午茶套餐中選了掛頭牌炭燒組合,對方要了甜品精選。

同Nobu一樣都是用木筷,吃西日料理當然亦要有叉及羹,簡簡單單跟這裡風格很合襯,印象中Nobu、Zuma、Roka及Megu幾間星級西日料理會用上和式靚筷的好似就只得Megu。

先說說燒物,由正中央的爐端燒廚房出品,燒香菇、牛柳青椒串、雞翼、帶子及脆肉瓜置在加熱過的靚陶碟上,擺設及微調方面也沒什麼挑剔。這裡燒物不走香口乾身路線,以蔥茸醋汁或芥末柚子汁作點綴,是「鬼佬燒給鬼佬吃」的燒物,就算用上炭火燒效果亦不比炭姬、五味鳥等效果好,始終燒物好講師傅技術。

九十元五串的串燒,是日價錢比起很多爐端燒店更親民,當然亦有心理準備是次一等的貨色。味道不差的有雞翼,做不出鹽燒應有鹽香,皮不焦脆換來濕潤肉質,要靠伴碟的晶鹽補充味道,都不錯;帶子不鮮可幸亦不會覺雪味,似有還無的吃過,記憶最深是芥末柚子汁的味道。牛柳粒是預期的將殘餘物資湊合而成,調味功夫不錯,肉質濕嫩,甜甜的很對口味。處理燒蔬菜不是這裡強項,友人有興趣再來,建議她走醬會可口一點。

友人的甜品併盤,看賣討好,是甜入心的Macaroni、冰鎮朱古力芒果雪葩、六層海綿忌廉蛋糕組合,最欣賞是白朱古配上的芒果雪葩,甜到底的味道撞上「酸咪咪」雪葩配搭得宜,吃完方才串燒後,感覺終於返來了地球,露天環境吃甜品感覺是寫意無比。

意猶未盡,再要了壽司併盤,幾件普通卷物、兩件角切蛋卷、兩件壽司,握功麻麻壽司飯完全沒有鬆軟「空間感」,蛋卷結結實實,反而伴碟的芥末、茗荷比主角更認真。

談過市況後已近黃昏,很想多坐一會,奈何仍有些拋不下的公務要處理,別過朋友後,筆記薄內多了三頁紙的感受,是間幾得意的餐廳,九十元作入場費買個體驗是值得的,當然同樣價錢純吃食物的話Le Soleil「Eat and Go」套餐更吃得過。

*下午茶套餐九十元
**下午茶餐只限露天位置及6F酒廊供應
環境至上的星級名店,說真的真是為此而來。

餐廳大部份資源投放在睇得但唔好食地方,是星級名店作風。

Honey took me to the Landmark Zuma for our anniversary dinner last friday night. This restaurant has 2 stories, dark, romantic scenic. A lot of foreigners, businessmen and attractive late 20s to mid 30s ladies and gents there to hang out. We checked out the wine menu first. We always go for good Sake. We tried the sake for about 180HKD per bottle, taste floral, crisp and refreshing. Then we ordered Japanese raw tofu, grilled pork, sashimi plater and asparagus and softshell crab sushi. The sashim

We tried the sake for about 180HKD per bottle, taste floral, crisp and refreshing. Then we ordered Japanese raw tofu, grilled pork, sashimi plater and asparagus and softshell crab sushi. The sashimi was very fresh and pretty big portion, five different kinds of fish and 3 pieces each. I love the tofu the best, very fresh, taste the beans. The rest of the food was just ok. It is expensive, don't ask me for how much, ask my honey. The service was great, the waiters speak English pretty good.

Very very nice, cant wait to come again next time, will try some more other things.

We wanted something light last night as the weather was turning warm, so we ended up trying out Zuma. I had eaten lunch once and was less than impressed, and certainly did not think it merited the 99th position in the Top 100 (see http://chi-he-wan-le.blogspot.com/2008/04/restaurant-magazines-top-list-2008.html).Right off the bat, we could see that the waitstaff was really poorly trained.

We wanted something light last night as the weather was turning warm, so we ended up trying out Zuma. I had eaten lunch once and was less than impressed, and certainly did not think it merited the 99th position in the Top 100 (see http://chi-he-wan-le.blogspot.com/2008/04/restaurant-magazines-top-list-2008.html).

Right off the bat, we could see that the waitstaff was really poorly trained. They only had two beers on their list - an Asahi and a Kirin. When I asked "Which Kirin is it?" the waitress did not know. She offered to bring the bottle to me so I could identify it myself. Later on during the ordering process, the various staff also clearly did not remember their menu items, and had to rely on us pointing it out so they would know what we were talking about. We also had to ask them not to bring ALL the dishes to us at the same time, because there was clearly no room on the table to fit everything. These people really don't have a clue on how to provide service...

We started with the Zuma green salad - a great combination of mixed greens with deep-fried tofu cubes, ripe cherry tomatoes, beet root and a few petals of chrysanthemum. The dressing tasted like yuzu ponzu which was very enjoyable.

Then there was the veggie roll, a California roll-type maki with carrot, green asparagus, cucumber and avocado wrapped with shiso and sprinkled with black and white sesame on the outside. Dabbed lightly in soy sauce, the fragrance of the sesame, shiso and green asparagus worked well together to create a refreshing taste in the mouth. Cheap (OK relatively...) but delicious.

We also enjoyed the suzuki with yuzu sauce and ikura. The thin slices of seabass sashimi was dripped with the yuzu sauce we love. There were also two slices of eggplant topped with salmon roe. Note that you should not combine the ikura with the suzuki as the yuzu sauce will completely overpower te ikura.

I was a bit surprised by the Zuma nigiri zushi. For HKD 300 you get all of 5 pieces... Granted, you have some upscale ingredients, but it was still a shock when it arrived. I had the wagyu with (caviar?), which I thought was OK but nothing to write home about. The eel was only so-so. The other three pieces were a sad-looking octopus, a tasty-looking scallop topped with yuzu sauce, and a minced toro with truffle sauce. Not likely to order this dish again.

Finally we had grilled eggplant with miso and chilli. Grilled eggplant has always been a favorite dish, but this was interesting. Ignoring the sprinkle of yellow chrysanthemum petals, the combination of miso and chilli reminded me of Chinese spicy bean paste (豆瓣酱). Kinda detracted from the experience a bit.

Having had low expectations, and because we did not order anything premium or outrageously expensive, our experience was actually alright. I know that many people scream about how overpriced this place is, and I would have to agree. If I wanted to splurge for a Japanese meal, Zuma is not a place I would choose. But for a light meal with some salad and greens involved, I thought it was worth returning to.

Totally agreed with kasugu! I went there two weeks ago for a business lunch. Heard from friends how cool this place is - but as usual- cool place doesn't mean good food!
Order 2 set lunch.
Appretizer: Sesame sauce spinach and green salad - very small portion even for girls!
Sushi - 4 sushi - mid price fish - hamichi/ Salmon/ Squid. Very small piece.

After that, we decided to order some more A La Carte sushi since we both agreed the portion is not enough!

The A La Carte Sushi was very expensive and taste so so...

The main course was ok

Over all the food quality is nothing compare to the price the charged. The service from the waiter is just average.

The lunch cost me $1400 - we order 2 green tea and one glass of sprinkling water.

I WILL NOT COME AGAIN - not for personal/ business. If someone suggest to treat me here - I will definitely refuse too! It's completely waste of money!
