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.

Okay so we went on Easter Sunday at 3pm and it was PACKED. I don’t recommend going on a holiday. We had reservations and we were seated fairly quickly. Remember folks, this is communal seating so if you are not with at least 7 people then you will be sitting with another party. Please be advised there is a severe lack of table space so if you’re ordering appetizers and drinks, you’ll be short of space. The chef, Earl, was great and engaging and knew how to cook. Overall, good experience, especially if you have kids. They’ll love it.
