Overall quality of fish was good. The chef tasting menu rellied a bit more than I would have preferred on tempura foods as filler. The wasabi used was overpowering either by the amount or the type (western not real wasabi) drowned out the fragile taste of the fish when used. Normally would have been a 3 for me rather than a 4 but server was good and overall ambiance was ok so I rounded up a 3.5 to a 4. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $80–90 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Working in Center City provides its lunch challenges that Zama solves. And by challenge, I mean, the $20 lunch. Either you’re eating a quick bite from a food truck and have to take the lunch somewhere to eat it or you’re paying for a very overpriced lunch that might not be as filling. Or, you’re stuck with the fastest of fast food that may still be $20 once you check out but what are you really eating? Zama is my hidden gem, go-to lunch that solves all of these problems. Tucked away before Rittenhouse Square, this Japanese restaurant has it what you’re looking for. It’s sleek, with wood slats and accents throughout to warm up the dining area. Bar seating by their storefront window is my typical place to sit since I’m normally alone but the bar staff is always nice and attentive. Although I have tried other items in the menu, the Maki Lunch Set has made it quite difficult to move to other items on the menu. I’m a sucker for a colorful plate and this dish has all the color from the house salad to the edamame. But you also get texture and contrast from the tempura vegetables and udon noodle soup. Lastly, you get to choose a 6 piece maki that comes with a mushroom maki. I typically go back and forth between the spicy tuna and the spicy salmon. Can’t go wrong either way! Zama provides an incredible lunch for an excellent price. It’s my favorite center city lunch spot! Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30
