I had a chance to finally try Zakkushi's great Japanese izakayas, yakatoris, and tapa dishes.

I enjoyed the classic wooden decor and atmosphere. I called ahead to see if it was busy and the server amusingly replied, "mediocrely", which made me laugh. It was a very casual dining experience.

The visual menu makes it hard to choose what to order. Everything looked so good. The photos were a great help in seeing what Zakkushi had to offer.

The shrimp ebi mayo was tasty and saucy in its goodness. I really dug the presentation of all the dishes.

The Tiksune set is a must for some variety. The beef and chicken skewers were quite good. It was chewy and good.

The other signature Zakkushi set wasn't as good but still fine and went down well.

The uzura maki balls were particularly good. I really like the warm, moist squid texture and taste. I will definitely return to have some more of the dishes. It's fun having a bunch of small plates and taste more of what Japanese cuisine has to offer.
