zoku

This is a delayed post. Ate there two nights ago but forgot to share the wonderful experience and food. The staff was winderfully great. We thought that the serving portions were too small BUT it turned out to be the best as it is not about the serving size but how our senses were awakened. Did I mention that the prices are amazingly affordable? The place was full yet one can still hear the music, the waiting staff and servers plus the conversation with your own company.

Had dinner at Zoku and really enjoyed the entire experience. I booked a 6 pm counter reservation, which is always my go-to for yakitori. I arrived a little early and took advantage of their happy hour. I started with the Nikujaga skewer and $2 off a glass of sake. They seated me right in front of the grill with a glass divider, which is exactly where you want to sit. I tried a variety of skewers: chicken wings, tsukune, momo with yakitori sauce, zucchini, wagyu beef that was surprisingly affordable, ebi, unagi, hotate, and then another round of wings. I also ordered a 300ml sake. The vibe feels a bit more upscale than other yakitori spots I have visited. The restaurant is brightly lit, the energy is lively, and the soundtrack was all 90s hip hop, which I loved. The service was exceptiona

The food here was delicious. Would highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time. They have a seasonal menu attached to their standard menu. Their sashimi plate was delicious. The cream cheese tofu dish sounds really odd, but boy was it good. I know this place is primarily a yakitory restaurant, but many of the non yakitory items were just as good.

Really fun restaurant!! Food is yummy and the interior+ little details like the serveware are reallyyyy elevated. The chef is from the NYC culinary scene and you can tell

Yakitori was DELICIOUS!!! Incredible flavors & so fresh!! Wagyu beef melted in my mouth. The staff is absolutely incredible!! 雄大さんありがとう！Can not wait to go back! My new favorite spot! Arigatō
