This place was a great experience. I booked reservations the day of my visit and had trouble finding parking so we called and they pushed our reservation back a little bit. The food came out fast and it was delicious. The service was outstanding and the environment was gorgeous! I would definitely recommend to come here!

The experience can be fun with decor and the vibe. The food was hit and miss. Lacking in flavor on a lot of items we had. Braised short ribs was the best thing we ate. Also super salad. Drinks were fun and tasty. Service had a lot to be desired. Went on a Saturday night. Was busy but not overly crowded.

Food was delicious! I got the yellowtail nigiri and cauliflower entree. Went on a Saturday night at 10pm so there was a DJ club vibe.

We came back here because the fish was so fresh. We live in Denver, but made a note when we ate here last time.

The Zama restaurant is conveniently located in the Gas Lamp District. The staff are nice and provided great service. The food was good, but I believe for a restaurant that serves sushi, the rolls should be brought out one after another. Instead, the server brought all three rolls out at the same time which made it challenging to eat given the small table. I think I would return to Zama for drinks, but I’d much rather go to an authentic sushi restaurant for sushi.

What a beautiful find. We had planned on going to one of our favorite spots, but due to a private party, they were closed. So we decided to try Zama. They did not disappoint! The atmosphere was beautiful and inviting, the background music perfect, the food was delicious. It was an all around wonderful experience for our date night! We will definitely be back.
