after a brief go on google, I take it you're referring to the japanese restaurant in london?

Contrary to popular belief, not everyone knows the intricate details of london’s social aspects tongue out

I went to Wasabisabi a few weeks ago, and that was bloody brilliant tongue out

I've forgotten the name, but they have a lamb chop dish, griddled and served with some kind of honey/soy dressing. It's amazing. My attempt at a description doesn't do it justice.

It is a shame it's 200 miles from home. frown

What a fantastic experience!!! Defiantly recommend ZUMA as a special night out.

10/10 food/service, 2nd to none!


I went for the Black cod, BBQ'ed king crab from their new menu, sushi selection, spicy beef fillet assorted tempura, spicy squid.........then for desert we had green tea ice cream with banana cake and home made chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream.

The cocktails were extremely good too. I had 3 x Kiwi bellini and the other half had 2 x passion fruit martini's.

Cost me an arm and a leg but at least i can say ive tried it now.

Sounds great, how much were there particular limbs worth that you exchanged for food?

.....er I know all things are relative.....but how much is "an arm and a leg" these days....I know Zuma....I have never eaten there....I am not sure whether it has a Michelin star....perhaps....but at a rough guess for two it would be £150/£175....it's one of those buzz places of the times....so how much was that A & a L....?

Total bill came to just over £100 per head which included the pre-drinkings at the bar.

Considering what you had food and drink wise it sounds ok, did that include any wine?

No, no wine just cocktails (about £10 a pop) and "VOSS" water. which infact was only £4.50 for a bottle lol

Yeah it wasn't that bad tbh. As i said the service, food and surroundings was A1
