At zoku, we are deeply committed to quality in every aspect of our menu. We use seasonal local vegetables and carefully chosen rice from Japan to enhance the flavors of our yakitori. We also 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.

As I was, the food was fantastic. Jasmine our server was on top of it took care of all of our needs and was quick to ask if we needed anything else. She did a great job. It’s one of the rare restaurants I travel all the way from Monrovia to Long Beach that I can get yummy trout . We sure wish you were in the Monrovia or Pasadena area.
