The food was great. We went there right after the Japan Day event. Personally I really like Japanese food. I would recommend people coming here to try out the food. The price isn’t so expensive though. It also came with an ice cream for combo which is great for dessert.

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 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.

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.

Lighting is dim, workers are energetic and patient, and the food is delicious. It’s a lovely spot right next to one of the best museums in the city. Food isn’t cheap but the quality is worth it. Just avoid rush hours because it’s very loud and cramped during busy hours but otherwise it’s all good.

I had vegetable ramen and my friend had the one with seafood. Probably the best ramen I ever ate in my life. Delicious broth and crispy veggies, prices are reasonable, waiter was very nice. I will come back for sure to try sushi and some other things 🙂

Great local sushi place, really tasty, rolls were great. Not too expensive and super good local vibes. Not overly fancy and service was good. The complementary miso was enjoyable as well. Finally, atmosphere was excellent and felt both friendly and authentic. Would come back.

First time ordering delivery and we were pleasantly surprised at the quality of sushi at a reasonable price range. Will be ordering again so please keep up the good quality! So happy we found this place. Miso soup was too salty but it was an easy fix with adding some hot water.
