from Google"We booked dinner to celebrate 2 birthdays and had a very memorable experience. Mo warmly greeted us at the door and checked in on us throughout our dinner as well as provided a birthday surprise dessert but more on that later. Our server was LaDarrius who provided friendly and attentive service without being overbearing. A glass rimmed with lime and lemon wedges and some form of dry ice that resulted in a fog drifting over the table was set down, providing a unique effect. We started with the Wagyu Beef Gyoza (delicious), California roll (standard roll but packed with crab, no skimping here), and Truffle Scallop + Asian Pear roll (amazing). For dinner we had the roasted salmon (mother-in-law said it was quite possible the best salmon she has ever had), prime tenderloin filet, Szechaun NY Strip (incredible flavors including the 5-spiced potato), S&S chicken, Yaki udon noodle + chicken (delicious), and shrimp garlic noodles (great flavors, plenty of shrimp). 6 of 7 diners cleaned their plates, with just 1 needing a carryout box. We were given birthday shots (some kind of a sweet shooter) and the birthday girls received Zuzu's take on strawberry shortcake with ice cream. Sparklers accompanied the desserts (we saw other desserts going out to tables with sparklers, Zuzu must go through a lot of sparklers) which added to the birthday celebration. And then Mo sent over a special dessert, similar to a melting chocolate ball dessert where a liquid was lit and then poured over the large chocolate ball causing it to melt to reveal a cake that was inside the ball. Big props for presentation, it's quite a dramatic dessert. Excellent food, excellent service and a flair for the dramatic. Definitely a great dining experience!"
"ZuZu is phenomenal!!! Perfect for family, friends and business! The manager, Moe, is friendly, caring and attentive. He’ll greet you, read your needs and ensure your expectations are exceeded. I truly believe he’s driving ZuZu’s success in downtown Detroit (so beautiful). Mention of fresh oysters with colorful dry ice flowing across the table, an out of this world gilded sushi tower presenting three courses of perfection (my absolute favorite), a medium rare tomahawk seasoned with love and a sexy bottle of wine, and you begin to see my obsession! This will forever be my favorite experience!!!"
"I would have given 5+ stars if I could. I had a very memorable experience at Zuzu, food was phenomenal. For apps we ordered Walnut shrimp which was 👌🏽for Entree we got Szechuan Steak and that steak was just amazing!! Goodness Gracious, it had so much flavor and the potatoes on the side were just out of this world. 🧑🍳🤌🏼 Also ordered to rolls of Sushi 🍣 Ora Salmon was soo good. I couldn’t be happier with the dinner experience. You won’t regret going here, great vibe for great times in the D!!!"
"I had a great experience celebrating my birthday at Zuzu! The most outstanding aspect of my experience was our server Darrius! He was professional, attentive, kind, and very personable. When I go back, I’ll definitely be requesting him. The food was delicious, most of my party seemed to agree that the shrimp tempura roll was the best. The pineapple gave a very fresh flavor. The drinks were delicious as well. I’ll definitely be back. The only not so great thing was how dark the restaurant was at a certain time of night. They turned the lights down…all the way down. It was just too dark. But all and all we had a great time!"
"Was in the area for work and craving sushi—so glad Zuzu popped up on my map because wow. From the moment we walked in, Angel set the tone as an amazing hostess, getting us settled and taking our coats with ease. Mars was our waitress and an absolute knockout. Super attentive, checked in with us consistently without ever hovering, and we never once felt forgotten or had to flag her down. The cocktails were superb, and the food was simply next level. We started with the Wagyu gyoza and the crispy rice spicy tuna—that crispy rice was unreal. Honestly, insane. For specialty rolls, we went with the Ora King, Jalapeño Hamachi, and Truffle Scallop. Every single roll melted in your mouth and somehow topped the last. Just ridiculous in the best way. They had a great dessert selection, but we opted to cap the night with espresso martinis, which was the perfect finish. Absolutely will be back the next time work brings us to the area. Zuzu is a must."
