Zasu — Restaurant in New Orleans

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!

2nd visit Review: Once again, Chef Jeff has outdone himself with his culinary masterpiece. I had the pleasure of savoring the succulent lamb, prepared to perfection without even needing to specify my preferred cooking style. My companion, on the other hand, relished the Flounder accompanied by delectable potatoes and turnips. It is evident that no aspect of this establishment falls short of excellence; everything exudes top-tier quality. Whether you are commemorating a special occasion or simply yearning to express affection, this is the ideal destination for remarkable libations and cuisine. The attentive and amiable wait staff add to the overall experience. Whenever I find myself in New Orleans, this is my go-to place for a...

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...

Eating at Zasu with my family tonight was very likely the best dining experience I’ve ever had. The food was amazing (my family and I forgot to take pictures), I had the baby octopus and ate everything down to scrapping off the sauce on the tiny cast iron skillet it was plated on. I really enjoyed the crunchy green salad, which was beautifully displayed and salted/seasoned perfectly. The fish was also top-notch, I had the red snapper which was cooked perfectly and was bedded atop the best butter beans I’ve ever tasted. Also, the creme brûlée was a favorite amongst my family, not too sweet and with a beautiful texture. I really appreciated my dining experience, and our server Allie was really amazing and attentive. We were also very impressed by the sommelier/manager, who remembered my grandparents wine from the last time they dined there months ago to providing us with cognac-armagnac service along with our dessert. I...
