Short ribs and rice. So good!!

This place is amazing. The sushi tastes fresh, the rice is delicious and the drinks are on point. Our server was very attentive and so was the gentleman tending the bar. They both walked around and made sure everyone had what they needed. The music was also on point they were playing 2000s bangers so it was nice to sit eat good food and listen to great music. When we left the kitchen staff also said by and thanked us for coming. We normally drive down to Dublin for sushi but we now found our new local sport. Keep up the great work, Zoku!

Spicy tuna roll in the front and Jalapeño hamachi roll behind it (double order)

A friend recommended this spot for sushi and I'm so glad he did! We used to go to Livermore but now we can stay here in Tracy to eat quality sushi! From the beginning everyone here is friendly, professional, and helpful. If there is a problem, they remain courteous and always try their best to resolve any confusion. Also the owner and employees are regulars there and we love seeing their familiar faces when we visit. It's like they have a great employee fam going on! Ambiance is cozy and cute. They now added some cute table lamps too. They also have large tv's with closed captions and often times the game playing. Sushi is delicious and fresh! For appetizers we love the hamachi carpaccio, chicken karaage, and grilled edamame. For sashimi, definitely the tuna and hamachi For rolls, the spicy tuna roll, hamachi jalapeño roll, and scallop roll

Spicy Poke - Appetizer $17.50 Delicious!

Amazing food. The quality is high, price, unfortunately matches the quality. Enjoy Ikura two Ikura nigiri for $8.50. This was a great generous portion of Ikura, very fair value. Calamari. $9. Fresh fried calamari, you can tell that the quality is not just a small previously frozen pieces. Comes with a Creative non-spicy cilantro ponzu sauce. Cucumber salad. 850. Comes with shrimp, the cucumber itself is sour, but would have liked a little more sweet. The wakame (seaweed) salad is also just OK. I probably would not order again. Mango shrimp. 1750. Was able to substitute tuna for California roll. It was a great substitution, and very nice to accommodate. Overall great roll. Tempura bento. $23.00 came with two pieces of shrimp and several pieces of vegetable tempura (two or three slices of carrot, two broccoli, two green bean). The rice was very nice. Well made short grain rice. The tempera sauce was perfect classic traditional to put sauce sweet and shoyu you fish base. Miso soup was also very traditionally made. Not sure it was worth $23 but may order it again. Tempura is made without egg.

Quality! Finally was in town and had the chance to Check this place out and I'm sure glad I did! When we walked in, we quickly got seated. It's a relatively small restaurant so I'm sure there will be some wait times! The menu had a nice selection of food and drinks. We got some hot sake and edamame to star! Both delicious. We then got two rolls. Both delicious and very fresh. The scallop one only had 3 pieces to it (bummer) but they were HUGE!!!! Almost too huge where you couldn't enjoy it all in one bite... but boy was it delicious!!!!! Definitely on the upper price of local food for this area... but sushi tends to be. I would definitely come back and look forward to trying some other rolls !

Updated review Posted 5.3.25 We dined here last night on for our family Friday night dinner. This place has insane potential to be consistently awesome but they lack customer service in general basically. A big reason for this is they're understaffed, it's as simple as that. You can't put maximizing profit in front of taking care of the people who come in and make you money. We arrived to 3-4 open 4 top tables in the restaurant, and were told they were going to clean a table off to sit us. Why would you clean a table when there's 4 clean ones already, all ready to be sat if needed? We waited longer than we should've, especially considering this. The host could've just sat us right when we walked in. Server took a bit to come over, ok no big deal, asks us if we're ready to order, we order apps and ask for a few more minutes. We then order the rest of our food. The apps come out, and we finish both before we get our waters even? The thing about being short staffed a bit also is........you need to step up the pace a little bit, its what the situation at that time dictates. Then our food comes out, if I remember correctly, 1 entree at a time for the 4 of us, with my daughters coming out much later than the rest. They also forgot her soup that we ordered, and an extra roll that came way after as I think they forgot. Now the food to me is good, but rolls are normal size, normal fish portions, but expensive. You hit me with $20+ on a roll, it needs to be better than good. I had to get up to ask for our bill & a box, weren't really checked on during the meal either. My wife had 1 beer, & 1 saki. Bill was over $200. Even with 1 beer, 1 saki, & 2 apps, I thought the bill was high, especially for the service. The food quality and ambiance on the inside are there to get away with what they charge, but you have to have better service, or people aren't going to go back and pay that kind of money.

Sushi roll

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.

Chili Spider Salmon roll
Stevi B.

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.

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

Ordered to go. Been here a few times now and service has somewhat improved. Last few times I've had issues with missing order, wrong change, and over charged. I've tried a few things here and I would have to say, it's not bad, but not that good (for the price). When I get the sashimi the cuts are irregular. Either it's big thick cuts or mildly thin. The fish seems ok but not quite fresh. I feel like with the rolls, sometimes it tastes overly sauced; so much so that it's hard to taste the fish. The rolls do fall apart too easily. I ordered the poke a few times and this was the first time it didn't come with chips. Guessing they either forgot or they no longer serve it with chips. Their menu of sushi is fairly limited compared to other sushi places in Tracy.

Zoku deserves 5 stars for its service alone! Our waiter, named John Legend according to our receipt, gave the best service I've ever received in any restaurant. He was super kind and understanding on how long we took to decide our order since it was my party's first time here. He was happy to give recommendations and gave us the seaweed salad we ordered free of charge as it was our first time at Zoku. The seaweed salad was delicious, but a little different from other places. It wasn't as sweet but I appreciated being able to taste the seaweed flavor more. My favorite suggestion from John was the salmon belly. The salmon was so fresh and the extra fat in the salmon belly made it such a delicious bite. My younger brother ordered the chicken katsu, which was huge!! Half of the plate was filled with rice and the other half was chicken. He couldn't finish it so we had leftovers. The restaurant has a small bar area for drinks, a sushi bar, and regular dining tables as well so there's something for everyone! It's a little pricer than other sushi restaurants in Tracy but definitely worth the visit!

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.

ramen and sushi

Food was SOO good! Our waiter was super nice and helpful. Ambiance was nice as well. We ordered ramen and sushi and it was soo delicious and filling. Would 100% recommend.

I totally understand how they made the top 100 in the SF Chronicle list, it's so well deserved!…read more I have only heard golden reviews of goodtime bar through peers and thought it was a great time to finally check it out! I came here with a friend on a weekday for dinner and it was not packed at all. The atmosphere was very minimalist and clean, with a cute disco ball in the corner. This establishment requires you to order at the bar (makes sense it's a bar), and then they did you a number for the table so they can deliver your food. Any drinks you order they will make it right then and there for you to bring over. In terms of food, here is everything we ordered and my thoughts! *Deviled eggs: You would think since it's deviled eggs, there wouldn't be anything too special about them but I appreciated the small pops of salmon roe that added a nice textural play with the creamy eggs! * Bluefin tostada: Absolutely delicious with fresh tuna, paired with mango, on a crispy wonton chip. What a rich treat. * Arancini: The twist of fusion flavors was great. I love how the Japanese curry added a nice mix of umami, paired with the sharp creamy kimchi sauce. Definitely a favorite! * Pork belly: Pull apart, juicy, and tender! These paired actually really well with the arancini for a good balance of rice and meat. * Red miso crème brûlée: interesting sweet and salty flavor combination between the red miso and Madagascar vanilla. Not too overpowering tho. A lovely meal was had here!
