    We were there for 3 hours! We waited for our food for more than 2 hours, our appetizers and 1 main course came right away but they totally forgot about the rest of our food. Price really not worth it.

    Would not recommend getting the seasonal omakase. Higher priced then the signature and the quality of food is exponentially less

    We have been to the one in Madrid and the one in London and this one just like the others did not disappoint it is absolutely fantastic and anyone debating whether they should go get in the cab in a heartbeat and get there.

    Our waitstaff was terrible. Had no knowledge of the menu in terms of what could be prepared gluten free. Very disappointing. I have eaten at many Zoom is all over the world and this was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had. I will not be going back.
