Raku It's Japanese
4.0 (232)restaurant
4.0 (232)This Manhattan spot pairs warm hospitality with Japanese comfort food, including fresh, melt-in-your-mouth sashimi.
Description
Beyond sashimi, the kitchen serves staples like tempura, gyoza, and sushi, though execution can be variable. The nabeyaki udon arrives in a generous portion but has been noted for overcooked noodles and egg. Those ordering the lunch set—which bundles two sushi rolls with soup or salad—may encounter inconsistent quality. Diners also share mixed views on the authenticity of the food.
