Zoku is a popular restaurant known for its delicious yakitori, such as chicken yakitori, scallop, beef wagyu, and unagi, all praised for their incredible flavors and freshness. Recent reviews highlight favorites like Mune with Ume (Plum Sauce) and Tebasaki, as well as the standout "Tofu Salad," which many suggest should be considered a signature dish due to its unique dressing and beautiful presentation. The service at Zoku remains exceptional, with courteous and friendly staff who work well as a team, making every visit enjoyable.
While the drinks menu is somewhat limited, it complements the food nicely. The inviting atmosphere includes counter seating where guests can watch the skewers being grilled, as well as tables for groups. Reservations are recommended, especially on busy weekends. Many dishes, including Hamachi sashimi and shisito peppers with curry powder, have received praise for their unique flavors without being overpowering. Guests enjoy a mix of yakitori and sides, with the Zoku cucumber salad being particularly popular. Dessert options like Matcha crème brûlée provide a perfect ending to meals. Overall, Zoku is a great place to dine, offering delicious options and a friendly environment that many guests look forward to experiencing again.
