Neighborhood Spot

Zooma Sushi, located just down the way from Zuma Beach, for which it’s phonetically named, is a true neighborhood spot – quite, hidden, unpretentious. But it’s no frills atmosphere – like a third world version of Nobu in the country mart – masks excellent rolls that are both inventive and made from incredibly fresh fish.

A favorite was the Fire Roll – spicy tuna on the inside with tuna and sriracha on the out. The salad roll also impressed us – the masters packed four different types of fish plus asparagus, avocado and cucumber into soy paper managing to make it look beautiful and stay together seamlessly. But my favorite roll was one for which I cannot remember the name. It was fresh albacore on the inside topped with broiled albacore on the out and drowned with a garlic ginger sauce that I could have drank!

Zooma Sushi is perfect after a long day at Zuma… or if you live in the neighborhood (wink wink).
