    I had a reservation at 9:30 PM, but they made me wait at the bar for an hour, and I was hungry. After that, everything was fine.

    Zuma never disappoints. We always take recommendations from the waiter so get to enjoy something new every time. The Wagyu short ribs were probably the best thing we ate!

    From the sushi rolls to the Chicken Skewers to the Yellowtail sashimi and the delicious chilean seabass, everything was amazing.

    I was with six other people and one person never got his food. food came out at all different times so some were eating and some were just watching others eat. Not sure if it was the servers issue or it was the kitchen. The food was good but service needs to be worked on.
