Zuma is a contemporary Japanese restaurant, that brings (according to their website) a "sophisticated twist on the traditional Japanese izakaya style of informal dining" - yep, I'm not sure what that means either!
It's a great venue, very well situated in the Landmark Building in Central, and super easy to find (even if you have been living under a rock). There is a lounge bar on the 6th floor, with a dining room and terrace on the 5th floor. In the dining room is a sushi bar and a robata grill bar. There are also two private dining rooms, great for big groups, but not hugely private (it's basically a glass partition, so you feel like you are in a conservatory).
The food here is fab. It has a great variety, ranging from sushi and sashimi, through to robata grill dishes and main dishes of things like black cod and chicken. All the dishes are cooked superbly.
However, for me, the best time to get a good selection of dishes is to come for the weekend brunch. The brunch is based on a huge buffet starter selection with everything from raw to deep fried (it really is a massive selection!), an a la carte main course, but not that some main courses require a cost upgrade, and a shared dessert platter per table of fresh fruits, ice creams and cakes. The cost on the Sunday is around HKD500 with free flow drinks.
Best to go to the Saturday brunch as it is a lot quieter. The Sunday brunch can be a bit of a bun fight, with queues to the food tables stretching around the restaurant. Fortunately, my Dad taught me how to hold four dinner plates in one hand, and to power load at the buffet, so if you don't get in there quick, I'll be in front of you scarfing all the food.
