Raku

A great value for the money. The food, including various sushi options, salmon, and tempura main plates, was excellent. The staff were incredibly polite and helpful. I highly recommend it.

It is a great option right after visiting the museum. Service is quick and friendly. The bento box was very satisfactory and great value meal. The sushi that came with it was high quality with a thin layer of rice ( I dont prefer sushi with thick rice layer) I also tried sashimi. Toro was a bit below expectations in smoothness. The restaurant is below street level and thus dark

An afternoon at this establishment was an enchanting culinary escapade, accompanied by my debonair companion. We ventured into the world of the Bento Box, and what a discovery it was! The portions were so generous that one could almost use them as stepping stones across a culinary ocean of delight. It's like they'd struck a deal with the portion genie himself. The value for your precious dinero? Absolutely stellar.

The service, oh the service, was a symphony of kindness and attentiveness. The staff, perpetually adorned with beaming smiles, could teach the sun a thing or two about radiance. If happiness were a currency, this place would be the Federal Reserve, and they were printing joy like there's no tomorrow.

And now, the pièce de résistance - the ice cream! As we delved into a scoop of red bean gelato, we were transported to a gelato utopia. It's as though the gelato gods themselves had whipped up this masterpiece. The flavor was a chorus of rich, creamy notes with red bean accents that danced on our palates. It was nothing short of gelato nirvana. Magnifico, indeed!

This restaurant is a true gem for food enthusiasts. The moment I entered, I was captivated by the cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. The staff's attentiveness and knowledge of the menu added a personal touch to the experience. The menu itself was a masterpiece, featuring a balance of traditional and contemporary dishes that celebrated the richness of the region's cuisine. The presentation was artful, and the taste was exceptional. I left with a contented heart and a satisfied palate.

I dined alone and sat at the bar. I ordered the deluxe set which has a great variety of mixed sushi and miso/salad. Staff were friendly and attentive.

This place is a nice Japanese restaurant! 🇯🇵 Rake It's Japanese II ok the UWS serves a wide variety of delicious 🤤 and authentic Japanese 🎌 dishes 🍽️ and an endless selection of sushi 🍣 - definitely try their Chicken 🍗 Teriyaki with rice 🍚 and broccoli 🥦 on the side! They have affordable 🏷️ lunch specials 🍱 that come with a soup 🍲 or salad 🥗 starter. Staff 👨‍🍳 is friendly and welcoming and the service is very quick. ⏲️ I wish I came here earlier!

Raku has the best lunch specials in the UWS and it's a popular venue. I went at noon as the first customer and the place was overcrowded after 10-15 minutes. I tried a chicken teriyaki lunch box, that came with rice, tuna rolls, and miso soup. Soup was ready immediately and the lunch box took maybe 10 minutes to be prepared. The food was tasty, the portions were enough and the service was also nice. I think I’ll return there to try others items from their menu soon.
