An unassuming location for good sushi. This restaurant is a great little spot for quality sushi with excellent service. Although this place is small, they manage to provide efficient and attentive service to more guests than it seems possible. I came here with my wife and two kids a little after 5:30pm on a weeknight. The place was already busy but there were a couple of tables left so we did not have to wait. There were a few seats at the sushi bar as well. But shortly after we were seated, new customers kept coming in and a small wait list was starting. My wife and I both opted for the sushi dinner with an assorted 7 pieces of nigiri along with our choice of a Maki Roll; there were many to choose from it was tough to decide. I narrowed my choice down to the salmon skin roll, and it was great. The meal came with soup and salad as well. We also started with an order of the fried calamari. My kids ordered a few different cut rolls. Everything was very good and the service was wonderful. Between the three servers they made sure we had everything we needed and promptly cleared our table of any unwanted dishes. Overall this was a very pleasant dinner experience and I would highly recommend this place if you’re in the area.
Best sushi in Monterey.
Great quality sushi. We love the hamachi lovers roll and their sashimi pieces are always incredible.
We go fairly often and the sushi is always on point.
Wait can be long so try to go earlier to beat the rush.
Cash discount.
Thank you zum sushi!
Food was good. Staff super friendly and had great service. Sat us in the only spot open and it was right by the door. As soon as a back table open up they offered to move us. Had the calamari rings. They were a little on the chewy side and I’m not used to them with tartar sauce. Didn’t fit the sushi vibe for me. Fire Fighter roll was good. Says ????️????️ but was more of a ????️ didn’t stop me from finishing it. Crunchy roll was delicious. Soda come in a can with mason jar. Good place to eat prices were better than expected for the location.
ordered a few items & everything was so yummy! definitely recommend the calamari & mixed zone roll. i already wanna go back
Friday night. We arrived around 545 as a party of 5. We lucked out and the last seats available which were the 5 bar seats in front of the sushi bar. They are busy with to go orders too. Come early it isn’t a large place so they don’t have that many tables. They have a nice area in front outside to wait with a fire pit. Everything was good. I liked the hamachi carpaccio so much I ordered a second one. I also had the rainbow roll which was also good and would order again. We shared the Agedashi tofu. My son got the Spider-Man roll and said he would order that next time too. Daughter doesn’t eat fish so she got the plain udon and the mango tango roll. The pricing for the udon is very reasonable. I tried a mango tango and it was very good. It’s very plain but great for kids(even my big kid). The only thing that wasn’t that great was the beef in the bento box. The salmon was super good in the bento box. My husband got the xxx roll and confirmed its spicy. Service was good.
We found our favorite sushi place in the area. ????????
Cool to see an older house converted to a sushi restaurant. Fantastic restaurant to dine outdoors. Sushi was good. I ordered a roll with popcorn shrimp on top and it was delicious. Nigiri pieces were nice and large. It was cool to see my rolls come out on a boat! My friend I was dining with ordered gyoza which came to the table cold. He could also only order them crispy OR steamed. First time they arrived, the gyoza were cold. They were kind enough to remake the dish entirely. Server was nice. Only gripe was both of our water cups ran dry and weren't refilled.
The quality of both the sushi and salads was truly outstanding, far exceeding my expectations. The shrimp tempura was cooked to perfection, offering a delightful crunch with each bite, while the unagi was flavorful and tender, making each piece a memorable experience. The ambiance of the place added to the enjoyment of the meal, with its warm and inviting atmosphere. This was further enhanced by the presence of amiable and engaging servers, whose friendliness and charm contributed significantly to the overall dining experience.
We were craving sushi after the whole 17 mile drive and the scenic Carmel-by-the-sea scenic route adventure… did some quick google search and Zum was often mentioned. We made our way here asap before closing. It’s a small establishment and it does get busy.. a good sign of course. We ordered their seaside roll, uni/sea urchin (market price or $20 at the time of ordering), and two chefs choice (omakase). We were surprised the food came in a boat. It was a nice touch. I’d say Zum is hard to beat for what you get. The portion of fish was generous. I wish there was more uni to rice ratio but I didn’t feel scammed. I haven’t tried other sushi spots in this area but I can confidently say this place has good value and quality at decent price (if you disregard the uni haha). Try this out when you’re in the area!
