Raku Sushi by Ramen Mura

A great place for dinner either before a show at the Segerstrom Theater or after. We came here after we watched the Nutcracker on a Sunday. We arrived at about 8:00 pm. It was busy but luckily there was no wait. By the time we left, there was a long wait and I can see why. The sushi and ramen are delicious and they have a variety to choose from. We had ramen along with a few choices of sushi rolls. I had the vegan ramen and it was excellent. I really liked the flavor of the broth. I didn't gat any picture of our sushi rolls because they were eaten as soon as they hit the table. The staff is also very nice and attentive. They quickly bring out your food and try to turn the tables as soon as possible. It is worth the wait if you have to.

Our dinners end up being on the late side. So when we wanted sushi after a jaunt in South Coast Plaza we checked out sushi places nearby. Raku had the highest rating and the pictures looked great. So we decided to drop by. It was about 50 minutes before they cleared and we were worried that we would not get great service. But we were pleasantly wrong. Our water was terrific. He welcomed us and was very patient and helpful and polite. The dining room is medium in size; it looks like a normal sushi restaurant. But the food is amazing! The sushi was fresh and succulent. Also the soups were delicious. They have a large variety of options in the menu. You think late menu size may mean bad food. But Raku is an exception to that rule. I hope to stop by again very soon!

Wow, wow, wow, and Yum, yum, YummWe bought enough to share so we all enjoyed it but the vegetable ramen was sooo good,, this place is on my map! And don't forget the cucumber salad,, literally perfect balance of tangy sweat bitter - exquisite!Thank you for the wonderful food :-)

BIG YUMMM! I was craving ramen (which is very rare for me I never crave anything outside my 5 rotating dishes) and I did a lot of yelp digging and so glad I found this place. I got the spicy ramen & deep fried California roll and everything was a 5/5. Price was great, parking was a breeze, and service was excellent! The place can be a little cramped so not recommended for big groups outside of 4 people.

I'm not a huge Sushi fan but I thought this place was pretty good! Additionally the Veggie Egg rolls were pretty fire. The service was cool. The little restaurant has a cool setup.

The food here is good. Try their sushi it's delicious. Their scallop with yuzu kosho is delicious too

Called ahead for a pick up order and arrived a little early. Food wasn't ready yet but I didn't mind waiting, I did call 5 min beforehand so I paid and waited shortly. My food was ready soon after and decided to enjoy it at home. The food itself was delicious. The roll was about $10. It satisfied my craving without making me feel bloated afterward. I would definitely come again for a takeout snack. The service was very friendly and they do welcome you in. It's fairly small inside so perfect for a little date or if you're looking for a mid day lunch !

I got the Washington roll and it was literally majority imitation crab. Barely any avocado. Super thin and small piece of salmon on top.

It's a hole in the wall, definitely a bang for your buck, super great value for what it is. I've been here a couple times and the service has always been spot on. The food has been amazing although.... There was an ant on my sushi one time, but it happens

It was so delicious I will come back when I'm in the area!And our service was great! Our servers Elliot and Alvaro were great!Thank you guys!
