Stumbled upon Zama randomly exploring near our hotel and it did not disappoint. The spicy lump crab roll may have been the best sushi I’ve ever had. Appetizers to dessert were delicious. I appreciated and atmosphere and service. Definitely recommend.

Great quality Japanese food. All the dishes were incredible, with very fresh sushi. Do not skip the dessert! They are the perfect small sweet bites to end a meal. However, the service took forever. We had to stay for three hours just because it was too slow.

Vegetarian options are limited, but the veggie roll was delicious. We got the mushroom dish and also ordered bao buns separately. It was adequate. The service was very good.

This place is hands down the best sushi spot in the city, if not my favorite of all time! I absolutely adore sitting at the sushi counter during lunch, it adds a special touch to the experience. My go-to dish here is definitely the seared tuna with truffle oil. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed. Give it a try and thank me later for introducing you to this culinary delight!

Great sushi restaurant. Service and food were all amazing. Everything was super fresh and the rice texture was on point (the most important thing for me when it comes to sushi). The only downside is the price. The restaurant is a bit pricey, but worth the experience.

had dinner with a friend to celebrate his birthday and it was a delight. we weren’t thrilled from our choice of starters but the hummus temaki, sesame salmon, and salmon on salmon were phenomenal.

Excellent service meets a typical nice sushi house in the heart og Philadelphia. There isn’t muchc aesthetically pleasing but the service was excellent and the sushi was delicious albeit a little higher priced than competitors.

We had the Chef’s tasting menu. You get a paper what comes with it, and it was a nice experience. We also ordered the escargot, Brussel sprout and bacon, and the short rib appetizers. The overall experience was great. We also ordered oysters which were good, but I was not a fan of the shot sauce that it comes with.
