A refreshing, pleasant surprise from the fried seafood found all over NOLA. The chefs here know what they’re doing. We got the crab fingers, king salmon, pompano and budino. All excellent dishes. I would skip the crab fingers for next time!
What a great meal!! The staff was wonderful. The wine guy poured us the most interesting Spanish white. The fish was perfect and then desserts were both delicate and WOW that was big!!! Can’t recommend Zasu enough. Perfect night.
This place was one of the best dining experiences we've had so far in New Orleans.
The food flavors were very interesting and exciting, cocktails were delicious and the service was great.
Great little restaurant perfect for a small family dinner on a special occasion or a business dinner. Seafood is tasty as is the Spicy Paloma mocktail. Staff is friendly. Happy to return.
We had such a lovely evening at Zasu! The food was amazing and the atmosphere was so comfortable. Highly recommend!
Five stars aren't enough! This place is a hidden jewel in midtown New Orleans. Chef Jeff is an amazing cook and explains the food very well. But when you taste the food you would swear you went to heaven for dinner. This place is very underrated and easily a top Restaurant in America. This is from someone who traveled to every state except Washington, Arizona, Oregon, Alaska, and Hawaii. If you are a Vadoka drinker try the Butterfly. I can rant about this restaurant for hours but until you eat Flounder cheeks you can't understand what I'm saying. Yes, I said Flounder Cheeks are flavorful and softer than wet tissue. The Scallops were amazing as well!
While searching for a place to treat ourselves, Zasu came at the top of our choices. The menu seemed interesting and location not too far away from where we were staying. Getting the reservations to it was the most challenging part. When we got ourselves a spot, we were extremely pleased. We arrived earlier than our reserved time and seated in 10 minutes of waiting. The restaurant is very small and the noise as every other reviewers point was loud. After we gave our drink orders, we scan through the menu one more time. It was hard to choose with so many great options. We ordered salad, grilled fish and a vegetarian ravioli. All of the flavors amazed us. To top it we wanted to give a try to desserts. Pavlova was so good, fresh and crunchy. The service was attentive and accommodating to few of our requests. We were pleased with this dining experience.
Absolutely divine meal at Zasu. Server knowledgeable and engaging, atmosphere subtle and understated, very comfortable, we ate early (5:30) so not as crowded as I am sure it gets. The Octopus and Crudo appetizers were outstanding. Menu reads easily but does not prepare you for the excellence of what you receive. The specials were fantastic and attention to detail on dietary restrictions noted through reservation were spot on. Red Snapper Entree was perfectly cooked with accompaniments of vegetables that enhanced the fish, sauce and as perfect. Most definitely will be back. We were even presented with a small beautiful side salad compliments of the chef. 5 star 💫
I’m 72 years old and I have had the good fortune to dine in many fine restaurants around the United States and a few in Europe. That being said, Zasu provided our group of 4 with perhaps the very best dining experience I have ever had. Each dish was prepared to perfection. James Beard award winning chef Sue Zamanick and chef de cuisine Jeff McLennon are certainly at the pinnacle of their profession. I am thankful for such a wonderful experience.

LOVED THIS LOCAL/INDEPENDENT GEM - after an exhausting day in NOLA (jazz fest 2022) I wanted to sit down and enjoy great food and wine… thank you Zasu!!! AMBIENCE- wish I had taken more pics, because this place is just cool, from the fab entrance (hidden behind a tall green hedge) to the modern take on NOLA style inside this smallish restaurant. - SERVICE - we had a great server, put a drink in our hand quickly (which I do love, don’t we all?) and guided us knowledgeably through the menu. MENU - somewhat compact menu which I love, food was as good as the descriptors, beautifully cooked and presented too BOOZE - bonus points for putting a cocktail in our hands quickly, nice hand crafted list too 👍🏻. Wine list also compact, as it should be, well thought out and again very fairly priced. SUMMARY - this a locally run restaurant, with the owners delivering something special, without the advantages of scale that chain restaurants have. These are the spots I gravitate to, and hope you have a similar experience to to ours!!!!
