Zoku

I found this place on Yelp and gave it a try from the reviews. Best sushi restaurant in town. Whether you're picking up or dining in, the staff here provide great service and are all super friendly and helpful. Shout out to Jeremey who works the bar and makes bomb drinks! Sushi that I've tried from here is definitely a 9/10 and they have other options too, great appetizers and if you're unsure they will give you recommendations and or explain anything needed to you about deciding on a dish!The restaurant is super cute. They have seating options at the bar, sushi bar, and tables! It's been busy but never too crowded every time I've been. Even with it being a lot of people, service is still good and on point. Hours are split on the weekends! I believe the reviews said that this is the sister restaurant to Amakara in Dublin.

I've been wanting to check out Zoku for quite some time. We decided it was a FriYay day at work- so let's go out for dinner! We came in right at opening, before the rush that came in near the end of our meal!The menu has a ton of options, and since I practiced restraint, I'll have to go back for a few other items that caught my eye. This time around, we got the assorted sashimi appetizer with tuna, salmon and hamachi. For being quite a newbie to the raw fish world, and very texture picky, I enjoyed the freshness of each type and would order it again. We also ordered the grilled edamame- which that addition of the char flavor made this something I would choose to order each time. The agedashi tofu was also quite tasty, but due to the textural aspect, I would have preferred a firm tofu. This is traditionally made with soft to medium-firm, so just something to keep in mind texturally! (I'd order it again though... I'd just have to prepare myself that it more melts in your mouth.)Lastly, there were 3 rolls I was bouncing between and settled on the Chili Spider Salmon roll with soft shell crab. I liked it, but I don't know that it would be the particular dish that would bring me in time and time again. I'm looking forward to trying some of the other options that caught my eye.Service was great- prompt, friendly and efficient. I like how they have the sushi bar seating and it was clean and uncluttered, unlike so many other places in the area appear to be. It was an inviting space.

First time trying this spot in Tracy, California. All I have to say is just wow. The ambiance of the restaurant is really nice. Was definitely an experience when you come inside. Definitely a gem of a restaurant in Tracy. The food was amazing, the presentation and food was great. The sushi was really good and fresh. Very flavorful and delightful. My party of people ordered many sushi rolls and it was all very tasty and delicious. The service was really good, from the time we got in to the time we left the restaurant it was good vibes all around. The atmosphere there was really nice. The staff there were really good and they all helped my party when we were over there. The staff was really nice and helpful. Good vibes all around, no complaints from us. I give this restaurant a 5/5 star review from presentation, great customer service, and of course great food. Will definitely be back and will definitely be recommending this restaurant to all my friends and colleagues.

A big shout-out to our hostess Rachel! She was AMAZING! Came on a Saturday night around 7pm and it was really full in the restaurant. We were immediately seated with waters and menus. The selection of the menu was endless, there were so many great appetizers to sushi rolls it was hard to choose just one. Upon ordering, Rachel was able to help us out and give suggestions since we were struggling a bit. The food quality was great overall, the service was impeccable, and to much surprise as someone who has lived in Tracy for quite some time this spot is a must for amazing sushi! Heres what we got: Agadashi Tofu (5/5): so good with the sauce and it came out warm! Chicken Teriyaki (4/5): LOOK at the portion size! also delicious sauce 8 Piece Sashimi (5/5): all very fresh and big cuts of fish Takoyaki (4/5): delicious and did not skimp on the ingredients Sushi Rolls (5/5): I like how the rolls were not small and they were easily shareable between 2-3 people; points for being unique with some sushi rolls

The food here is tasty, and it's probably the best quality sushi you'll find in Tracy, but the prices are just way too high for what you're getting. Just isn't worth it overall. Maybe once just to experience it.

First time dining here with my family and our first impression was not the best. We were seated right away, however we sat down for a good 15-20 minutes before anyone came to our table to take our order or even ask us for drinks. One of the waiters came up and asked if we had been helped, he noticed that we had been there for awhileand apologized no one came to help us. I believe his name was Jeremy? I could be mistaken. Super nice guy and his service completely redeemed our initial view. He took our order and food came out promptly after. We ordered several different rolls and some popcorn chicken for our toddler. Ended dinner with their friend ice cream. All the sushi rolls we ordered were delicious. Our waiter was attentive and made sure the rest of our dining experience was a positive one. overall the service we received after the hiccup in the beginning was amazing. We will definitely be back.

Went for a New Year's Eve dinner and they were closed. Nothing on the door indicating they would be closed. Lots of people coming to the door with the same expectations. Should do a better job posting this.

Really good sushi for the area! Everything is presented so nice. Their oysters and hamachi carpaccio are a must order! Hand rolls and sashimi are also really fresh and good. The place itself is pretty dim and not too big. Expect a wait when it's busy. There is a full bar to the left when you walk in where you can order drinks while you wait.

If you're looking for a decent and vibey contemporary Japanese restaurant in the Valley, look no further than Zoku's in Tracy. They're located quite conveniently in Gateway Plaza off of 11th and Corral Hollow -- and I've always wanted to try this place, until last night. The vibe in this place is immaculate, and I thought I'd share my experience on this particular restaurant:The food in this restaurant is not only exquisite, but it was also very rich in flavor and in texture as well. We ordered an udon (mind you, tempura was seven dollars each so I was taken a bit aback by that), but I was thoroughly impressed with the batter and how deep fried they made it. Talk about hot sake in a Japanese restaurant -- I think that was a first that I've seen (at least in the many years that I was legally able to drink).We also ordered some rolls as well -- specifically, the spicy crab roll and the avocado mango roll. Both were absolutely rich in flavor, I just love how many sushi rolls there were named after Tracy, which you have got to give a try -- they're a must at this restaurant!The service and hospitality started off a little awkward -- however, the lead server came up and took care of us and make sure that our needs were met. I absolutely appreciate the patronizing and exquisite service.The atmosphere was expansive, and it was open seating, although I wish other patents would be more considerate of the people around them because we were a little bit annoyed at them. Not bad saying, but just be on the lookout for obnoxious people at those sushi bar sometimes.Overall, I would come back again and try more of their food!

Service was ok, not the best. I don't like to eat raw sushi and hoping they'd have good varieties of choices. Unfortunately, Zoku's "cooked" sushi menu is very limited. I ended up ordering Takoyaki and the Dragon Roll. The Takoyaki was 3/5 stars and the Dragon Roll I gave it 1/5 stars. I had high hopes for the sushi but it came out super bland. I was very disappointed because with that kinda price, the sushi should be delicious but it wasn't ‍.I don't know if I ever go back there again. For now, it's TBD.
