Raku Japanese Restaurant

I took my parents here to try the all you can eat lunch. It was very different than your typical AYCE sushi place. - When we went we were presented with the AYCE menu, along with a larger menu that we could reference for descriptions. Food: - There were limitations on how much you could order at once. I believe it was 4 nigiri, 2 rolls, 1 entree per person. The appetizers were unlimited. - Entrees are a fairly large size, so I would recommend ordering to share rather than individually- The menu is limited for the AYCE, but there is still a ton of variety that is unique and quite tasty. Service: - The food is made to order, so the quality definitely felt much higher class with a fancier presentation of the food, but due to that, it did take a bit longer to arrive. - The staff was very kind and patient with all of our questions. We even asked about when they opened, come to realize they've been around for 15ish years!Overall, I would like to come back for dinner to try out that menu. I really enjoyed the food and service. The only issues I had was how long some items took, but that could be growing pains from doing AYCE, and me being used to the other AYCE places that just pop out entire platters of food crazy fast.

Nice Japanese restaurant with an ayce option for lunch and dinner . Lunch is $21.99 and I believe dinner is $31.99. Definitely worth a try. The inside is decently spacious . My only concern is that they only had one server when we came for lunch and the poor girl was running around like crazy .So their ayce lunch option is what I tried and they had a few items I haven't seen at any other ayce locations. This includes spicy tuna eggplant, which is pretty good but it's deep fried. Green Dragon roll which includes avocado and eel. I enjoyed that a lot. I also enjoyed the fried matcha ice cream at the end of my meal. I could see the dinner menu includes sashimi and several items that dinner only.

First time here even though this place has been here for years (decades??). Here specifically for their new foray into the premium AYCE menu experience currently only available Fri-Sat for lunch or dinner. Dinner will have more items available obviously. Our waiter told us this was the first night of their debut. Hence the staff was kinda frazzled and running around like crazy. Took awhile for the host to acknowledge us and seat us. No worries, we were not bothered by that as we were too excited to try out their sushi. I hope they modify staff for these special menu nights. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the dishes and the most was outstanding dish was the yellowtail jalapeño. The meat was so buttery and the sauce perfect. Check out pics for items we tried. Tip: menu has no description so I just pulled up online menu to get the full description. Easier than asking. Dinner is about $39.99/pp

Went in for AYCE lunch option. Service was slow even though it was pretty empty at the time, food was mediocre, and some of the items ordered were wrong. Like yeah it was relatively cheap compared to other options but I was disappointed. Seems overhyped on social media.

The food was mediocre at best. We had a terrible waitress, waiting on us. She only stop once to take our order and she never came back, to make sure that our drinks were refill, or take away our empty plates of food that we finished eating. The real reason why I will never go back is: We went during lunchtime for the ALL YOU CAN EAT lunch price of 21.99. They overcharged us 39.99 for dinner pricing (notice the "D" after the 39.99meaning dinner price) plus they charged an extra $15 for some noodles, that we have no knowledge of ordering . I did not realize being overcharged until I got home .

Unfortunately, this is not a restaurant I would revisit, it has definitely been overhyped on Instagram reels/ tik tok. We went to try the summer lunch AYCE special. When we visited, we were the only customers there which should have been clue #1... Somehow, service was still slow. The booth seats that we were situated on were very uncomfortable, they made you feel like you were falling forward. More importantly, the quality of every dish was very poor, I would avoid ordering the nigiri and sashimi at all costs. The best things we had were their cocktails which tasted like alcoholic starbucks refreshers and the green tea ice cream. All in all, I would not recommend visiting. Last thing to note, gratuity was automatically added that I believe was 18% which was upsetting when our service was abysmal.

I ordered two sushi rolls and crab cheese wontons from Raku through DoorDash. The products were very well packaged and arrived in good shape. The Mexican roll was excellent and had very good spice. The "one" roll was also very good but I did not care for the peppered tuna as much as some other rolls. The tempura shrimp inside the rolls were good yet the breading was a little heavy for my taste. All in all, I enjoyed Raku sushi, and would return.

Amazing place to eat!I went with some coworkers who know sushi and they led me here!I tried the bigger $17 lunch deal with multiple fish options and rolls. It was all amazing. I felt full in a good way. I also realized I might eat wasabi in the white American way = ) Like with way too much on everything.... but hey I love the top front heat burn.I will be back again for another amazing lunch to try more things.I can say everything tastes amazingly fresh and the staff was great.Lots of places to sit and free parking. This is my new go-to spot for lunch with friends while at work.

Came to Raku with some friends on a Wednesday evening for our quarterly sushi gathering and had a good time! Parking is easy with the nearby ramp. And there was a ton of availability inside! Food - 4/5We ordered a ton of rolls and sushi to share. The food here is good. Pretty on par with other sushi spots in the metro. The menu is gigantic and rather daunting. Favorites were the Sassy Lady and the Hurricane. But honorable mention goes to the gyoza! Service - 5/5Our server was kind and very attentive! Could be due to the restaurant being pretty empty. But food came out very quickly and water glasses were never empty, so no complaints here!

Most of the food tasted pretty decent. Ambiance and the decor of the restaurant is good.We came in with a big group (12 people)And we got seated right away on a Friday lunch.However, the service is super slow and when I wanted to order more, the waiter told me I cant and needed to wait.The wait for the food is very long. With the limit of 2 hours all you can eat and how slow the service is, I dont think it worths going back.Tatsuta age was not good. It tasted like chinese sweet and sour chicken (without the sauce) and the meat is dry.Gyoza is pretty good. We ordered 4 and the kids loves it.I like the spicy tuna eggplant. It was very crispy and flavorful.Spicy tuna tartar cold appetizer is also pretty good.The fried rice is fragrance but doesnt have any taste. I had to add soy sauce to it.We also ordered beef udon without vegetable. The udon is also pretty good. Our friend also ordered beef udon with no modification abd half of the plate was veg
