Zuma Boston Reviews
We are fans of their weekend brunches.
However, it has been watered down over time to have less value. For example, sashimi is no longer offered and the entree portions are halved for some of the dishes. The service and ambiance continues to be a highlight. Our most recent visit, we had the pleasure of having 'Friday' as our server and she was fantastic. I might suggest offering two versions of the brunch - a 'classic' and an 'upgraded' version,
Loved it!
Amazing food - we loved it and felt it was worth the (expensive!) price! Our host Bryan/Brian was v friendly. Yes there was loud music and it could feel very “busy” but we had a seat round the side by a large window so we were v happy with that. Would definitely go again!
Elegant Dine out Boston in Zuma at Four seasons.
I visited with my friends first time US for Dine out Boston. I tried lots of Japanese restaurant around the world but, “Zuma Boston delivers on every level—exceptional flavors (sushi and Chilean tempura), flawless service, and a vibrant yet refined atmosphere. A true standout in Boston’s dining scene." Highly recommend.
Had a phenomenal experience.
Went for Dine Out Boston and was impressed with the food, service, ambiance! The bartender (I unfortunately didn't catch his name) was amazing. I have never had sake and asked for some guidance. After some deliberation, I cautiously went with a glass of white wine instead. While I was waiting for my next course he kindly brought over the sakes he had suggested for me to taste! The food was delicious, not one thing I didn't enjoy. I did upgrade the entree (+$15) and dessert (+$10) so the food totaled $80 but it was absolutely a steal in my opinion. I will be back!
Wow - most disappointing meal of 2025, had such high
Wow - most disappointing meal of 2025, had such high expectations. We'll start with the service, overall our waitress was great, but did charge us $10 for a bottle of water when we asked for tap. Now to the food, couldn't have been more disappointing or overpriced. The butter corn was one corn on the cob that included many things, none of them butter. The chicken skewer was dry (the pork belly skewer was delicious but not worth the price). Incredible disappointing meal and I wont be going back.
Zuma would normally be a big splurge, but the Dine Out
Zuma would normally be a big splurge, but the Dine Out Boston menu makes it such a steal!!! Two starters, two rolls, a nigiri, a main, AND a dessert for $55?!?!? We loved everything we had, but you absolutely cannot miss the tuna tataki, and the beef tenderloin is worth the upcharge. For drinks, we loved the rose and lychee martini and the mio sparkling sake! The service was absolutely impeccable as well, very friendly and attentive. Great night!
We celebrated our anniversary here and had a memorable
We celebrated our anniversary here and had a memorable experience. The sushi was excellent, the atmosphere felt upscale, and the presentation of each dish was truly impressive. Every plate felt like a special moment in itself. It's definitely a great spot for a celebration. We focused mostly on sushi rolls and really enjoyed what we ordered, though I do wish there had been more variety on the menu. Bonus, they brought out a special anniversary dessert. What a special surprise!
Came here for lunch on a weekday and the space wasn't too
Came here for lunch on a weekday and the space wasn't too full - a few other occupied tables, but overall felt pretty empty which wasn't a bad thing. Interior felt pretty modern and upscale which matched the vibes too. We were seated pretty quickly and placed our orders within a reasonable amount of time. The menu was solid with several good options - we settled on getting the ebisu business lunch to share amongst three people so we ordered it multiple times. It seemed like a great deal and it was - we left feeling stuffed! They did end up forgetting one of our dishes and we waited for it for quite a long time, leading to a 2.5 hour long meal. It was frustrating given tables around us were seated, ate, and left long before us despite getting similar amounts of food. We were seated around 12:30, left almost at 3 - way too long! It was unfortunate honestly as the rest of the meal was nice. Overall, our experience was okay - I'd like to believe the length was an anomaly. I wouldn't mind coming back, especially for their brunch, but probably wouldn't go out of my way for it.
The food was good, but the service did not meet the
The food was good, but the service did not meet the standards one would expect from a restaurant inside the Four Seasons. To start, we were initially seated all the way in the back. We asked to be moved to a different table, and while we understood the host needed to check the system, the process was inefficient--we walked across the entire restaurant only to be sent back again once a new table was confirmed. It would've been more considerate to let us wait at the original table while she finalized the change. As first-time guests, we came in with no knowledge of the menu, the concept, or whether there was a recommended way to order. Unfortunately, the server offered no guidance. He didn't ask if it was our first visit, didn't explain the menu, and didn't provide any recommendations. Service felt rushed and impersonal. Our appetizers arrived before our drinks, and the entrees and sides were brought out at different times. For example, we received the potato side dish well before the main meal, so we ate it separately. While still mid-meal, we were asked if we wanted dessert, which felt premature and made us feel hurried. We also overheard our server describing an off-menu dessert to another table, but when we asked about dessert options, he simply handed us the menu without mentioning anything additional. The difference in service was noticeable and disappointing--it felt like he was more focused on getting us out than providing a good experience. While the ambiance was nice overall, there was a couple across the restaurant engaged in overly intimate behavior, which made the setting uncomfortable for those of us dining with family. It's not something you'd expect or want to witness in a place of this caliber.
We have dined here many times before, and have enjoyed the
We have dined here many times before, and have enjoyed the food and service. Last evening June 14 2025 the hostess in charge could not have been more unpleasant. She was very disrespectful to us and her coworkers. The lounge area at 6:00 was empty except for one table. We asked several times not to be seated next to the only occupied table in lounge. She told her assistant to explain to us that a large party would be arriving so all the empty tables would be pushed together, about 7 tables. Long story short it was not at all honest on her part, as we suspected. It was clear we were being discriminated against. We felt very unwelcome and will dine elsewhere in the future.
What a five star experience.
... Best werk dinner so far methinks, everything was SO GOOD. The sea bass app was my fav... and maybe the warm portobello bowl. Impeccable lychee martini and beautiful dessert spread. Also possibly the most beautiful restaurant i've ever been in? Was making me feel like i had a trust fund
Absolutely excellent
Everything about the experience was excellent. We come annually in mid May to celebrate a family member’s birthday we look forward to returning
Good-To-Great, crazy expensive
Stylish restaurant. Food ranged from good to excellent. The grilled items were delish. Loved the skewer with steak and shishito peppers, and the grilled corn. The smoky flavor was standout. Grilled sea bass was tasty. The sushi was good but nothing special. Cocktails were excellent. We sat at the bar. Bartenders were super busy (Saturday night) but took care of us. I would like to sit at the grill bar seats if we went back, where you can watch the cooking and plating. Dinging one star because: * loud thumping nightclub music. It was Saturday night, but wow. Had to talk at high volume to be heard. * it’s not just expensive, it is crazy expensive. Fun for a splurge. The food and experience were just good enough to make the check feel ok.
The best restaurant in USA period!!! I go at least 4 times
The best restaurant in USA period!!! I go at least 4 times a year!!!! And i wish i could go more often But it is expensive. But so worth it!!!! From drinks to Appetizers/and roasted crabs or Lobsters...and the Lava Cake?? OMG!!!!! Insanely delicious!!! Excellent Service !! Excellent!! ZUMA BOSTON-you have my heart!!
Excellent food and sushi. Could’ve gone two nights in a row
Excellent sushi. Great tomahawk. Good vibes. Very busy even on a weekday. The high tables were a good option. Sushi rolls were excellent. Chef’s choice of dessert was excellent. Good value for money although not cheap. Make a reservation before going!
Perfect dinner.
We simply had a perfect dinner at Zuma recently. We had a group of 6, all with very different tastes (some picky, some open to anything), and everyone left completely blown away. Some of the highlights were the pork belly app, the a5 wagyu steak (it ain’t cheap but it’s worth getting a few ounces just to experience), and the yellowtail sashimi. Drinks were outstanding, the waiter and staff were outstanding, and the entire experience was a five out of five.
Amazing Zuma
We’ve eaten at Zuma a number of times and it’s always perfection. The food and service are excellent. The weekend brunch is amazing and fun. It’s our go to spot for family celebrations and delicious food.
Top-Shelf Eating And Restaurant Atmosphere.
Zuma Boston is a Japanese restaurant bedded in the 2nd floor of the 4 C's Hotel. It features a unique private dining space with floor to ceiling glass windows: a classy environment. The restaurant is inspired by the izakaya style of Japanese dining in which dishes are brought to the table continuously through the meal. The menu is dynamite with items like Salmon & Tuna Tartare, stellar Tempura, Robata Skewers, Wagyu Beef Sushi and more. I dug into Miso Soup, Crisp Fried Calamari and Sake Marinated Chicken-wings...................a super delicious trio. Zuma is a top-shelf eating and restaurant atmosphere.
Best service and food was amazing.
We love the food and all the drinks we're great. Beautiful ambience and I would definitely go back again.
Best contemporary Japanese food in the Back Bay Area-- Zuma
Best contemporary Japanese food in the Back Bay Area-- Zuma offers an immensely enjoyable fine dining experience. Prepare to spend about 2-3 hours here for an incredible 4 course meal, worth 5 stars. For a fixed price you get unlimited appetizers, sushi (nigiri & maki), one entree per person, and one dessert platter for the table. Ambiance: We came for brunch on a Saturday and were seated right by the window on a very comfortable sofa seat. Service: the staff is incredibly kind! Shoutout to our server Claire, who wanted to give us the full experience for our first time, and went above and beyond in her insights and assistance. We originally ordered 3 appetizers, but she spoiled us and brought us one of each to try. Food (Appetizers, 1): The appetizer selection consisted of edamame, spicy fried chicken, vegetable tempura, breaded sweet potato, dressed corn, and sweet peppers with lime. My favorites were the spicy fried chicken which came with a chili sauce and a lemon slice (my favorite!) and the veggie tempura. The vegetables were lightly battered and fried which I enjoyed, and the chicken was cooked very well. Food (Sushi, 2): The sushi was extremely fresh and absolutely delicious. I'm not a huge fan of raw fish, but I was more than eager to try the offerings. There were 4 rolls to select from-- we ordered the spicy tuna, kappa (ginger-cucumber-avo) vegetarian, and salmon-avo roll. Absolutely incredible! The spicy tuna was my favorite-- super flavorful and I really enjoyed it as tempura. The kappa and salmon-avo were delicious as well. The rice on the sushi was of high quality, and stuck without being technical sticky rice. Food (Entree, 3): BEST PART. BEST STEAK EVER. WOW. My mom and I both opted for the 4oz spicy beef tenderloin and my mom's boyfriend got the salmon. The beef tenderloin came with red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, and a soy-chili sauce. Cooked medium well was the way to go. It was so juicy. Had we not had been so full from the other courses, I would have finished my mom's off as well. 20/10 rating in my book. My mom's boyfriend reported that his salmon was incredible, and the crust was fantastic. Food (Dessert, 4): We started off with complimentary shots-- we got the virgin berry shot and espresso martini shots, both very good! The berry one reminded me of a fancy strawberry popsicle. Then came the dessert platter, which was INSANE. It came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and sherbet, mixed fruits, a coconut-tapioca pudding, chef's daily pastry selection (chocolate chip cookies!), and mochi ice cream. Everything was so fresh and delicious. The sherbet was rich and tart, my favorite. The cookies were freshly baked and the mochi ice cream was so soft and creamy, definitely the best I've had. Overall, the dining experience at Zuma was absolutely incredible, and one we will never forget. Thank you, Zuma!
Great food and experience
Reservations were simple to make and they have a system to easily and properly confirm them. We showed up early and our table wasn't ready. So, we sat at the bar for one drink. No napkins with our drinks, something I have not seen before. Bartender was smartly dressed and low-cut top. We were nicely dressed, but most other people there were not (shorts, polos, street clothes). Our table was ready when our drinks were finished and it was clear we were not ordering another round. We were escorted to our tables, through the restaurant that was pretty full with other customers. The celling was quite high and the decor modern and happening. But it was quite loud with talk, and no music. More noise than is relaxing for a nice dinner. We ordered another set of drinks, bottled water, several appetizers, and main courses. The staff (not the waiter) messed up and poured tap water. Then I told her that we ordered bottled water, so she took the tap water away. Then the next girl came and started pouring tap water again with new glasses. Then the waitress came and apologized for the mix-up, but we stuck with tap water at that point. The drinks came with a large square of ice, that yields a far less watered-down experience. The Salmon/Tuna appetizer was served on a slab, on top of a whole bowl of ice. The salmon was a bit fishy, the tuna was better. Crackers were made in house. The Japanese peppers were delicious and enough of them to share. We ordered several different stakes, each pre-sliced up nicely, with amazing dipping sauce. All delicious and served to perfection. Deserts were a work of art, and lots of chocolate, caramel, ice cream, and more. Portions seemed small, but I got filled up by the end of the meal. No offer to cover our valet parking fee. Maybe I should have asked? It did not seem that many people used the valet because my car was left right in front of the hotel the entire time. Most people will absolutely love this restaurant and their experience. A few people may feel it is the best meal they ever had. And I sincerely doubt that anyone would not like it. Bring a date, celebrate an anniversary, a special birthday, or a big job promotion. You will not be disappointed.
Zuma is a great place to go for the ambiance and their food
Zuma is a great place to go for the ambiance and their food is solid. It's located in the Four Seasons, up the stairs. Make sure to make a reservation! Usually there's a bunch of tables available day of but I believe reservations are required anyways. Dress code is basically no activewear or sweats but whenever I have come here, seems that everyone just wears all black. They don't have the best sushi in the city but it's lovely for dinner with friends or birthday dinners. I do like their desserts. Service is always great and attentive. Parking can be found on the nearby streets such as Huntington Ave or can park in one of the garages.
Zuma Boston has became a favorite date spot for my
Zuma Boston has became a favorite date spot for my boyfriend and I. We splurge on special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries so be prepared to spend at least $150+ (that includes drinks and tip). I'm not sure how quick you can get a table without a reservation, it's best to make one with how busy they get. Service is always great and I love the cozy, romantic vibe it has inside. Their bathroom and outside lobby make a great spot for mirror selfies and instagram pics. Food and drinks have consistently been excellent. I LOVE their uni (sea urchin). It's so creamy and fresh, you can tell they really use top quality. I've had bad uni before and it's not a pleasant taste.
Swanky Izakaya where the drink requires almost as much
Swanky Izakaya where the drink requires almost as much attention as the food. The Takahasi Cooler is a blueberry, blackberry, mint, lime and apple vodka concoction that I would highly recommend. Would also try the Yamatochi Cooler, a refreshing tequila, mint, ginger, lychee, elderflower and lime libation. The food is masterly crafted and presented, for which you will pay handsomely. The basic Omakase runs $138 and the premium is $168. Try Zuma's tempuras, either the rock shrimp with chili tofu (Ishi Ebi) or the softshell crab katsu with wasabi mayo and fennel salad. The Robata (grilled skewers, similar to Yakitori) is always yummy, and my personal favorites were the grilled scallops with pickled plum, shiso, and mentaiko butter. There's the signature black cod marinated in saikyo miso and wrapped in a hoba leaf, and a selection of 4 different Wagyu's. As for grilled seafood, I was pleased with the Alaskan king crab in a ponzu lime butter, although that alone will set you back $79. This is one of the few Japanese establishments where I would order some of the more exotic and mouthwatering cuts of sushi or sashimi. I would spring for the Chu Toro (medium fatty, my favorite) or the Oh Toro (very fatty) tuna, as well as the Uni, but only if the Uni is from Japan (do not waste your money on Uni from Maine), so be sure to ask ahead of time "where the Hni from?" Before ordering. The entire dinner will set you back a mini-King's ransom, so start saving now!

Zuma was an excellent dinner for me as a vegetarian- excellent service and plenty of vegetarian options Fried tofu - 5/5 Shishito peppers - 5/5 Veggie sushi - 5/5 Chocolate molten cake - 5/5
For 129 on sunday lunch, i do not recommend.
. so many other places serve much better quality sushi and sashmi at a fraction of the cost. You're paying just for the restaurant being at the four season... It's basically yamato quality with less options... save your money and avoid

Service was good, their reservations go by fast so you should reserve them in advance. The omakase had more flash than substance, you get a lot of food for the price though. I really enjoyed the nigiris, I would have ordered more à la carte! The steak was underseasoned but the sauce made up for it and the fish had great flavor. The sashimi was nothing to rave about. The flavor had so much potential but overall the food was mediocre. It's a cute and fancy place. 10/10 vibes.

It's good for business gathering for lunch or dinner as they can provide you with nice privacy space. I loved the ambiance so much and the food was great too with much amazing flavored. The service and the care we received was so wormy and thankful. Will come back again for my birthday event
way to expensive for the food.
will not go back, they also tried to rip us off in parking.

Zuma Boston delivered an exceptional brunch experience that left an indelible mark on my taste buds. The highlight of the meal was the all-you-can-eat sushi and appetizers! The diverse selection ensured a culinary journey that satisfied every palate, from fresh sashimi to creatively crafted appetizers that showcased the restaurant's commitment to quality. The unique brunch concept allowed patrons to choose one enticing entree, complemented by a show-stopping dessert platter. This thoughtful combination provided a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The attentive service and the inviting interior added to the overall ambiance, creating a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere. Zuma Boston's commitment to delivering an unforgettable dining experience was evident in every aspect, making it a definite go-to for those seeking a memorable brunch. I will undoubtedly be returning to savor the culinary delights and bask in the refined surroundings that Zuma Boston effortlessly offers.
My wife and I did the premium omakase this past weekend and
My wife and I did the premium omakase this past weekend and it was an amazing experience. The decor is very nice and the restaurant feels intimate. The cocktails were awesome, thought slightly on the pricey side. The food was fantastic. Everything was delicious and artfully plated. Each course was amazing. My personal favorite was the scallops, but the steak was a close second. Our server, Stephanie, was great. She was attentive and informative and provided excellent drink pairing choices. I would love to have a server like Stephanie any time! We had a small snafu during dinner and Stephanie leapt into action and took care of us. She really took the dinner from a 10/10 to a 12/10!
We ordered multiple things from the menu.
Everything was good. Drinks were okay. Nice ambiance
We walked through a very spacious and beautifully designed
We walked through a very spacious and beautifully designed space to take our seats. To whet our appetites, we ordered a Japanese Manhattan and Japanese old fashioned. The drinks were excellent. For our main course, we ordered the chirashi maki, sea bass sashimi. the rice hot pot and the black cod. The food was absolutely delicious. Nice experience to celebrate a special occasion.
We got the signature omakase and it hit the spot.
Skip your meals for the day because they bring you a TON of food. My favorites were the salmon tartare, the soft shell crab and the beef. MVP of the night was the black miso cod - it was oh so delicious!!! My least favorite dish was probably the scallops as they were a tad overcooked. For cocktails, I highly recommend the raspberry martini! And make sure you leave room for the chocolate lava cake dessert!
Elegant space with wonderful wood panels.
Food is flashy and moderately tasty. Really a restaurant for Las Vegas. Very overpriced for the quality of the food. Wine list is limited.
Outstanding Sushi and Asian Cuisine
Zuma Boston is kind of hidden away in the Four Seasons, but definitely worth a detour or special trip. It is actually very close to the Pru and Newbury Street area. Great place for a date night or celebration. The sushi is really top notch across the board. Other standouts are the black cod and truffle edamame. They also have a location in Las Vegas, which is likewise excellent.

This was one of our true first "night on the town"
This was one of our true first "night on the town" experience post COVID and it was amazing. COVID regulations: We had to book 2 weeks ahead for a party of 4 due to limited seating capacity. We arrived and were told that we had 90 minutes to dine. Tables were spaced apart and hand sanitizer was placed on every table. Overall, we felt it was both a safe and efficient dining experience. Ambience: The restaurant was spacious with huge windows and high ceilings.There was a sense of grandeur with their use of wood and the glass containers holding their wine glasses over the bar resembled a unique chandelier. The restaurant wasn't quiet but it also wasn't loud. Our group could easily communicate. Again, we went during COVID and although they were fully booked, it probably wasn't their max dining capacity. Food/ drink: A few of the cocktails were pretty creative and tasted great. We also got a bottle of sake with the expert recommendation of our waiter. Since it was our first time there, we opted for the omakase dinner and we weren't disappointed. I've had a few omakase dinners in which there's a personal relationship built with the chef as you watch them prepare each dish and piece in front of you with care. Although this portion of the experience was missing, the food was one of the best I've ever had. I could imagine the care of the chefs who made our dishes. The fish was fresh, the food was perfectly paired, and the food was perfectly balanced. Overall: The experience was fantastic. Our waiter was attentive without being overly annoying. He was there when we looked up and checked in enough times between plates. He was also knowledgeable as we asked questions and recommendations. Thank you Zuma for giving us a fun and safe experience to start off our eventual return to normalcy.
Superb service, inventive flavors, fun atmosphere
My husband and I dined at Zuma with our grown kids a few weeks ago. The servers were kind, attentive and knowledgeable. The food was imaginative and delicious. The ambiance so lively and fun. We highly recommend Zuma for your next evening out!
Yuma
So the first thing to say is that this place is not at the four seasons by the common, there’s two four seasons in Boston. It’s still fairly new so everything looks great, and being new there’s a vibe about that this is the place to be. A well stocked bar with places to sit, high tables, low tables, a sushi bar, a DJ booth, open kitchen with plenty of flames to impress. I suspect you won’t get in without a booking. Casual dress, people in sneakers and baseball caps and others in suits. We dived into a cocktail, Vespa - nice. Attentive and knowledgable service. The food was amazing, I recommend the rock shrimp and the scallops. We stuck to mainly small sushi dishes and kept the cocktails rolling. If you’re visiting Boston you got to visit this place !
WRONG BILL!!!!!!!!
I was a regular costumer and it’s was supposed to be amazing BUT the server charged 2x the bill on my credit card and my friends that’s disrespectful and an official crime. I’ve been contacting the restaurant and paying the internacional roaming from my phone since one month and NOTHING? Should I call police?
My friend and I came for lunch during Dine Out Boston, for
My friend and I came for lunch during Dine Out Boston, for which had a streamlined menu that you could choose 4 things from, for $32 (some things cost extra).Both of our orders came with a miso soup, which was a bad start to our meal. There was definitely way too much miso paste in the soup, creating a really imbalanced, heavy, fermented flavour. I took a few sips and couldn't bear it any longer. Actually quite shocking to me, since I think miso soup is a very fundamental dish for most high-end Japanese (-adjacent?) restaurants to perfect.Our eight dishes came intermittently as they were ready, which I liked, since it felt like we could eat leisurely without seeing a tableful of yet-uneaten food. Some highlights that I really liked were the spicy tuna roll, which had a really full, fresh flavour in the fish and a very tasty dollop of sauce on the top; and the salmon tartare, which was very fragrant and came on top of a yummy, slightly-sweet bun (not sure why it was called a miso bun).We had the prawn and black cod dumplings, which had a strange mouthfeel to it - just a bit of a strange juxtaposition for the flavour/texture of fish in the wrapping of a dumpling, which is def not common. But still a very good dish nonetheless! I also had the mixed sashimi donburi which was really delicious! The fish bites were so fresh and the portion sizes of fish, veggie, avocado, rices, etc. was very well-planned.Tuna tataki was a bit meh - not an amazing flavour from the slightly seared edges but the sauce was a nice touch.At the end, there was a nice treat - I had forgotten that we had indicated that we were here for a birthday meal, and the server surprised us with a scoop of matcha ice cream on the house :) I love matcha sm, so I was super happy with this.All in all, definitely a good meal, and I was glad I had the chance to come try it out during Restaurant week. However, skimming through the normal menu and noting how much dishes ordinarily cost, I'm not sure if the quality of everything would be necessarily worth another visit. (Especially the miso soup, the poor quality of which honestly still confounds me.)
I went to Zuma on a Friday night for a classy dinner out --
I went to Zuma on a Friday night for a classy dinner out -- it ended up being pretty incredible! I booked a reservation a couple weeks in advance, this place can get busy and hard to get into last minute as it's attached to the Four Season Hotel. The vibe is classy and clean, not too in your face. The night I went there was a DJ playing music that really heightened the swanky Friday night ambiance.I got the Zuma Mai Tai and it was an incredible cocktail. It was sweet and not too rum-forward. As for the food, amazing!The edamame and miso soups were delicious.The yakitori-negima yaki chicken skewers were so tender and flavorful.The sushi really stole the show though. The tuna and salmon nigiri were so incredible, just melted in my mouth and tasted so fresh. The chirashi maki roll was unbelievable, highly recommend it!Also got the sake no teriyaki kyuri zoe salmon which was just as amazing as everything else. The shiitake no ninniku fuumi mushroom dish was super flavorful too. The service was good, though at times a little slow but the pacing and everything worked for a Friday night out. They were a little backed up so didn't get sat for my 8:30 res until about 8:45.This place is pricey, but the amazing food plus ambiance really made it worth it for me!
The brunch service is so worth it- AYCE for $80 and the
The brunch service is so worth it- AYCE for $80 and the fish is so delicious. I chose the beef for the entree and it was so tender and perfectly cooked. We got the peppers, fried chicken, and miso soup for appetizers and the fruit dessert platter they served was a perfect end to the meal.
I'm disappointed.
The service and food is not as good as I expected considering the food is expensive. I made a reservation, got there on time while my friend was late. They didn't give me a table until I followed up with them after 15 minutes of waiting at the door. Also, it's winter time and we all have big jackets and scarves and hat. They never offered to check our coats. We ordered sashimi, special sushi, and rice hotpot. The sashimi is very ordinary. They are expensive but taste like normal $$ sushi restaurants. The special sushi is good but not like "wow they are so good that I have to order again". I definitely tasted better but cheaper sushi in some other restaurants. The rice hot pot is good and plenty of tables ordered that. I may come back for that. The cocktail is ok. The Japanese Paloma is a no to me. I can't taste the yuzu. But they did put a lot of alcohol in it. The lychee and rose petal martini is pretty good though. The presentation looks better than Japanese Paloma for sure. Water is $9. I guess that's the price I have to pay in an expensive restaurant. I'm glad that the molten chocolate cake is not too sweet and it tastes good with the vanilla ice cream The tables are a bit close. So not enough privacy. The restaurant is packed for sure on Saturday night.
Celebrated my girlfriend's birthday here at Zuma Boston,
Celebrated my girlfriend's birthday here at Zuma Boston, and was really impressed with my overall experience here. Coming from New York City and the abundance of Japanese restaurants, I had low expectations...however Zuma really came up to snuff with my New York palate. We made a reservation in advance for our little weekend getaway. Under the reservation I had confirmed it was a celebration. After dinner was all wrapped up Zuma was nice enough to include a complimentary dessert and wished my girlfriend a Happy Birthday. This was great as i didnt even request for this service but it was provided at the end of the meal.The food was all really good. From the sushi, the rolls, tofu salad (our favorite), grilled shishito peppers, and the fried tempura. Everything we ordered was of expectation of quality and taste.The cocktails are what makes this an experience in my opinion. With unique japanese flavoring the drinks were exquisitely prepared and presented.I would highly suggest Zuma for a great special occasion. Might be a little stuffy for some but all you have to do is just not give a fck!

This is a restaurant within the Four Seasons hotel in Boston. Brunch is $90/person and probably worth it if you are hungry! They made an exception for us to order a la carte and it still was about the same price for dishes that were ok and service that was slow. There was also a line downstairs for Trifecta. The service industry is suffering but for the price point expect more from the Four Seasons. The cod was delicious but sushi mediocre.

I called to make a reservation tonight and definitely was put off and disappointed by the lack of interest and graciousness by the reservation hostDefinitely had a little bit of an expectation that there would be more professionalism and pleasantness trying to make a reservationVolante was extremely abrasive and not very pleasant ... actually called back to speak to a general manager, but apparently no people are available to speak to... so far not very impressed by a place that should be a 5 star experienceClearly, there's a lot of room for improvement

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Zuma Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Zuma Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Zuma Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Zuma Boston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
