Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Manhattan Beach

Zoku is a hidden gem in the South Bay. Every variable used to rate a fine dining experience were 5 stars. The food was superb, plated and prepared with attention and love. Now this sounds unusual, but the preparation of food is an act of love and kindness and deep consideration. The entire wait staff and especially our waitress was so attentive and patient with our questions about each dish. The indigo dyed fabric and color variations were an extremely aesthetically interesting accents. The atmosphere was extremely pleasant, warm and fun which I find in combination a rarity. This is fine food prepared with warm hearts & hands.

We enjoyed the food the view and the spicy Bloody Mary was delish

We had a business meeting that started a little later than expected due to traffic. But the service was so awesome that I forgot all about it. We had sliders and Parmesan french fries that were amazing. Such a great experience. The server was so sweet that she was able to set a table on the inside because it was chilly out and she made the inside bar area stunning. Such a nice experience.

We visited on Monday, December 9 for my son’s 21st birthday. I wanna say our server’s name was Isaac. I’m not sure I got that right but he was absolutely amazing. We sat at the table right next to the front entrance. He was the best server. We had a great time and we truly appreciated him making it a great night.

Wow! I can’t say enough good things about this place. We needed this place in the Riviera. In the Month of October they are celebrating their one year anniversary, so there are a lot of fun creative specials going on the entire month. Perfect chance to find and taste all their delicious high-grade food. The service is top-notch and the ambience perfection! I love that this is a local family that owns it. The community is really starting to rally around this gem discovering the phenomenal food and great service!
