Zuma

The waiter can speak English. It is best to wear formal clothes when dining. In winter, you will be asked to take off your coat and hang it at the door for you. There is a 10% service charge, which will be automatically added to the bill. You can pay in cash. The dishes are good and taste delicious, but a little expensive.

ZUMA is back in Vladivostok, having reopened after a fire, and it's great. It's at a new address (Partizanskiy Prospekt, 44в), but it's even better. Zuma's main feature is fresh seafood with different flavors, and its team of professional chefs has been hand-picked over the years. The interior of the restaurant is divided into two halls, each with a different theme, including iconic artifacts, myths and stories. Each private room is independent and has a complete theme, allowing diners to choose a private room according to their preferences, full of imagination. There is a winding golden dragon on the ceiling of the hall, which is connected by a large round window. Zuma's waiters are warm and attentive, and there are many waiters, so you don't have to wait to get a response immediately. We were served by a very sociable and enthusiastic guy. There are many dishes that I like in the restaurant. I ordered a warm salad with crab sticks, which was very tender and juicy, with fresh vegetables, a light cream sauce, and super large pieces of crab meat. The sushi rolls looked like they came out of the pages of a fashion magazine, with fresh salmon slices, bright and juicy strawberries, and sweet and soft mango. I loved the combination, there wasn't too much cream or cheese in the rolls, and the seafood flavor wasn't overpowered by the seasoning. I would order these dishes again.

The old Zuma burned down, but fortunately, the new Zuma reopened. The chef is still the same, the team is still the same, and the dishes are the best in town. New address - Partizanskiy Prospekt, 44в, Vladivostok, Primorsky Territory

During the National Day holiday, I went to Vladivostok for a trip and specifically checked out the most popular restaurant in the area. Because we didn't make a reservation in advance, we went there early to try our luck. As expected, we were allowed to enter for dinner, but it had to end before 6 o'clock. Because you can only eat in the evening with a reservation. And you have to deposit your clothes before dining. We were arranged in the area on the second floor, where the decoration style is diverse, all of which are based on the styles of various parts of Asia. There is also a bright red Chinese style. The restaurant specially arranged a Chinese menu, and the waiter was very enthusiastic to help order when ordering. We ordered some dishes that looked good. These dishes are a fusion of two cuisines, such as the grilled lamb chops with evergreens. The sushi has an extra layer of tube cream. The taste is very good, and the mango dessert is also delicious. If you have time, I suggest you try the live king crab. It is worth paying an extra 10[%] service charge when settling.

The best restaurant in Vladivostok. We followed Google Maps and walked from the train station. It's very popular. We didn't make a reservation and were worried about whether we could get a seat. We sat at the bar at first, but later we moved to a table for six. Previous reviews said that they had an English menu, but when we arrived, there was only Russian. We could only order dishes based on the pictures and texts posted by previous reviews. The service was super good, and the waiters' English was pretty good. Their scallops were super good, eaten raw, and they were said to melt in the mouth, although the actual taste did not reach that level. They were tender and had a hint of sweetness, and they were also the best scallops I have ever eaten. The best thing about their restaurant is the king crab, which is alive. Every table will let the guests take a look at it and take pictures. Because I had eaten it yesterday, I didn't order it again today. The one in the picture is from the next table, so we borrowed it to take a picture. The beef tongue is very tender. Although it is large, it is cooked just right and delicious. The lamb chops were a little slow to come out, and I was basically full when they came up, so I didn't feel anything special. The seafood fried rice was delicious, not as bad as some reviews say, the kids devoured it in no time. The steak was ordered medium rare, but it was obviously overcooked and a little tough, not as good as the one I had at Portman's in Harbin earlier this month. The decoration style of their restaurant is completely Southeast Asian, with many local Buddhist statues on display. Overall, it's very good. The price is a bit more expensive, with a 10% service charge included in the bill, but it's still good value for money.

A multi-style restaurant in Vladivostok, located in the northwest of the city, not far from the pedestrian street by the sea, about 10 minutes walk. The restaurant is very stylishly decorated and has very good business. It provides food with characteristics of many countries, including Western food, Japanese food, and Southeast Asian food. The waiters are all beautiful women and handsome men. You have to put away your coat before entering the door, and then take a seat to order. There are menus in multiple languages, but there is no Chinese. Fortunately, there are pictures on the menu, which saves a lot of effort. I ordered a set meal, Japanese food, salad and dessert, which tasted very good.

Zuma is located on Fontannaya Street, not far from the Amur Bay. The main attraction here is the super-large king crab, as well as various Asian cuisines and seafood. To dine here, you usually need to make a reservation by phone at least half a day in advance. If you come at mealtime, there is basically no vacancy. The reason why I was able to have a meal without a reservation was naturally because it was off-peak. When I took a stroll around the Amur Bay, it was already 2:30, and there were many vacancies. Zuma is divided into two floors, the dining area is very large, and there are many people. The environment is decorated in some Chinese and a little Japanese style, with green plants and pools, which is high-end and classy. The menu is divided into multiple languages, but there is no Chinese, so I had to make do with the English menu. It is said that this is the best and most cost-effective king crab in Vladivostok. King crabs are 2,000 rubles per kilogram, which is basically the same as RMB 100 per catty. They are big and thick, and I highly recommend them. But I am alone and I am not good at eating crabs, so this is a saving compared to spending. Other food is mainly Japanese food and various seafood. If you don't eat crabs, 150 per person is enough. For a relatively simple meal like mine, it only costs about 100. I ordered a miso soup and a crab fried rice (Crab Chahan). The miso soup was quite satisfactory, and the crab fried rice was delicious. It was served directly in a big crab shell. There were about 7 or 8 pieces of real big crab meat, which was fresh, salty, fragrant and tender. The other side dishes were also very good with rice. It was really delicious and the portion was okay. The bill was brought up in an exquisite wooden box. In addition to the bill, there was also a piece of chewing gum. It was very exquisite.
