We had an amazing night here. Food was amazing, views were unreal. Would recommend at sunset! The pecan dessert was probably the best dessert I’ve ever had.

Gorgeous venue, undeniably delicious food, though the food menu seemed a tiny bit compromised to what I know from other Zumas worldwide and the toilets are far from its global standards.
The service and staff are top-notch, incredibly attentive and professional, and they speak English!!
The prices for wine and champagne are also lower than what I’ve seen in Bodrum so far.
Overall, a beautiful place worth visiting.
However, bring your mosquito repellent as it literally becomes full of them as soon as the sun sets due to the lack of wind in that area. Leaving here very satisfied but full of bites 🥲

I came for dinner with friends.
Food is good but I believe for the amount of people service get slower and slower.
40 minutes for the bill, service generically not well organized, waiters coming to the tables with both ands full and we were in the condition to serve ourself and help the waiter to putt dishes in the table and giving back the dirty plate, like in a self-service. Then after 11pm too many people at the bar and as said service get very slow, they even forgot to bring a drink, so I ordered another time and they doble charge me, but I was sure it would have get another 40 min to change the bill so I paid without saying nothing.
Well peope go there really early to eat or go after only for the party, which is cool and. Lot of people always.

We arrived before our team; the reception team directed us to sit at the bar until our reservation time.

We were seated in a quick location as requested on time. Our waiter was Serhat, and he was supportive.

The vibes were good, and the place was stunning. The kitchen is open to the guests to see the magic, and the team there was friendly and engaging.

The food was delicious, and the quality was excellent. We ordered the following:

* Tuna Tataki. The best I ever had.
* Chutoro Aburi.
* Spicy Tuna Roll.

I recommend all three dishes. Zuma is definitely one of the best Japanese restaurants in the world.
