At Zoku, we are deeply committed to quality in every aspect of our menu. We work with local sommeliers in our wine selection, many of which are regionally sourced, that complement our appetizers and skewers. Our chefs have trained in “Hinai Jidori”, a prestigious level of yakitori training, dedicating thousands of hours in Japan to perfect their craft. With careful attention to flavors, textures, and colors, the dishes are crafted to provide a thoughtful and immersive dining experience rather than just a quick bite. From tables and chairs crafted in Japan to dishware carefully selected from around the world for each dish, we aim to blend authentic Japanese cuisine with the Redondo Beach aesthetic. We also use traditional Japanese 備長炭 binchotan charcoal instead of electricity or gas to impart unique flavors that only this specialized charcoal can achieve in yakitori.

    Our party of 6 had a great patio table with heat lamp so felt we had the place to ourselves with a nice cozy ambiance. We shared a variety of dishes that were delish and memorable, as were the interesting cocktails. Though the duck dish is sooo good, the portions are small for the price. The service is always amazing!

    The food was absolutely delicious—everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection right in front of us! Watching the chef expertly prepare our meal was not only entertaining but also a testament to the skill and passion of the staff. The fried rice, steak, shrimp, and vegetables were perfectly seasoned and cooked just the way we liked. The service was top-notch; our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure our drinks were always refilled. The portions were generous, and the variety on the menu ensured there was something for everyone in our group to enjoy.
