Zama San Diego

Atmosphere was wonderful. It is a vibrant and lively restaurant with great decor. Drinks were fantastic. Food was underwhelming. We had a variety of items including the ceviche, calamari, a sushi roll and Brussels sprouts. The presentation was fantastic and very visually pleasing. Definitely Instagram worthy but the food was not something I would want to experience again. Highly recommend for drinks. Everyone's tastes are different. It was worth trying but we will not be back again.

Solange was our server for Happy Hour and she was really sweet from the beginning. Atmosphere was great here and accommodating since we had our child with us. Happy hour is definitely worth it and the drinks were surprisingly really well crafted. Only thing that we wouldn't recommend was the oysters we had weren't very good and the shells were broken quite a bit and ended up all over the oysters as we were trying to dig it out. Would recommend the lamb for sure!

The food is good. The lamb lollipop is tasty. The Royce Roy roll’s favor is heavy on the waygu beef on top of roll. The fatty flavor and the melt-in-mouth feeling is amazing. It’s balanced out well by the onion tempora. The onion tempora is well made, not greasy, and a great palette cleaner between pieces. The place is pricy though. Also the seating is limited. Booking ahead is recommended.

This restaurant is spacious and the decor is vibrant with a blend of mid century, art deco greenery. Food was amazing! Yellowtail ceviche was 10/10. The lamb lollipops also 10/10. They were so flavorful, tender, and simply delicious. Zama roll was 8/10 only because the shrimp tempura in the center didnt have much of a crunch, but the overall flavor was great. Whole branzino also 10/10. Perfectly seasoned. The skin was still crispy and perfectly cooked. Forgot the names of our drinks but they were well balanced and flavorful. Highly recommend this place and can’t go back again and again!

We had an amazing experience at Zama in San Diego! Our server, Jesus, was absolutely fantastic—his service was outstanding from start to finish. The food was amazing, every dish full of flavor and beautifully presented. The ambiance is great, making it the perfect spot for a night out. This is a must-go-to when in San Diego. Highly recommend!
