The restaurant chain, co-founded by Rainer Becker, offers contemporary Japanese dining inspired by the time Rainer spent working in Tokyo. Zuma presents informal izakaya-style dining in an elegant space, with authentic and simple presentation. The restaurant features a main kitchen, sushi counter, and a robata grill that produces dishes designed to be shared.
Working with Tokyo-based designer, Noriyoshi Muramatsu, the new restaurant’s design follows the group’s signature, so it is inspired by the four elements of earth, fire, water and air, but it also reflects New York's vibrant, metropolitan energy and diverse cultures.
The main dining room can seat 100 covers, and it includes a sushi bar that accommodates eight. Guests can also experience the action seating at the robata
