Raku offers exceptional Japanese cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere with a cool, minimalist design. The restaurant serves generous portions of homemade-tasting dishes, including vegetables dumpling and noodles with tempura shrimps and fried chicken. Friendly and helpful staff provide great service. Booking in advance is recommended to avoid waiting. This spot is definitely a popular destination, known for its handmade udon noodles with amazing texture. The standout dishes include the kani ankake and the unique yaki nasu. The ramen is also amazing, and the knowledgeable bar server provides detailed recommendations. The ambiance is tight, and it can get quite loud, but the wait is not too long, and the service is fast, friendly, and attentive. The food, like the Gyutama Don (beef and egg rice bowl) and Niku Udon (spicy udon), is delicious and worth the slightly higher price.
