Editorial Review for Zuma Sushi – by Jennifer Soong
The Scene
Zuma, which means "running horse," showcases a striking red and black interior. Sleek black lacquered tables contrast sharply with red lanterns and a lipstick-red velvet bench that lines the length of the wall. For cool high-tech entertainment, small flat-screen TVs play Japanese anime films. Seats at the sushi bar offer prime views of the master chefs in action. The service, while polite, is on the slow side.
The Food
Serious sushi lovers will appreciate the chef's focus on freshness and artistry. The comprehensive menu has everything from nigiri sushi to sushi sashimi combinations. Along with the traditional rolls are some exotic varieties like the yuma gobo roll (mountain roof) and kampyo roll, marinated Japanese gourd. The Golden California roll is a deep-fried twist on the original. The namesake Zuma roll is a sight to behold: Alaskan snow crab, eel and avocado, topped with caviar.

was 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 many sushi spots but at least keep up the image.
Pros: tuna tartar
Cons: frozen fish arriving at the table

I 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 restaurant in Atlanta is a long drive now.
