zoku@Redondo Beach ★★★

New Yakitori from 鳥貴族 Torikizoku in Japan. Opened 10 days ago. Nice Yakitori. Reasonable price. While all dishes at Torikizoku Japan is only 370 yen (tax included), zoku is more elevated. Zoku Salad was nice & refreshing. Brussels Sprouts were too big to eat as a whole in one bite. Cutting in 1/2 would be better. I also prefer them crispier. Hojicha Panna Cotta dessert was light and easy to digest. Using Binchotan. Americanized vibe. Accepts reservations and walk-in. Nice to see old face from Tonchin. Street parking is a bit challenging & could be a few blocks away. Torikizoku will be opening soon in Torrance. Will have to come back to try their sold out items such as the Grilled Rice Ball & Peach Parfait.
