Zama Omakase

Zama Omakase was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday. Truly an unforgettable experience. We did the 15-course omakase, and I was blown away by both the quality and the value.

My short answer, YES it will be, especially at Zama. The quality of the ingredients, from the fish to the garnish were very fresh. With each bite outshining the last, each element of each dish played a role where nothing was unnecessary on the plate. I’ll definitely be coming back with more of my
