" I visited Raku last weekend, hoping to enjoy their highly praised noodles. The udon was certainly delicious, but I found the cold udon less appealing than the hot options. The ambiance was great, but the prices were on the high side for the portion sizes. The service was attentive. I’ll likely try another dish when I return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an enjoyable lunch at Raku today. The staff was friendly, and I loved the serenity of the restaurant. The udon was flavorful, but my only regret was not ordering a larger portion. I will certainly come back to try more of their delicious offerings. Overall, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has a lovely vibe and serves some of the best udon in the city! I really appreciated the different options they have, especially the crab dish, which was a personal favorite. I can't speak highly enough about how refreshing everything was – will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely delightful dining experience! From start to finish, Raku didn't let me down. The udon was perfectly crafted, feeling authentic in every sense. I particularly enjoyed the variety and quality of their ingredients. I'll definitely be back despite the slightly high-end prices. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Raku and while the experience was good, the udon’s texture wasn’t as I expected - it was thinner than what I’ve had in the past. Service was nice and the atmosphere was cozy. It’s a decent place overall but perhaps not my top choice for udon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried Raku multiple times, and it never disappoints! The variety of dishes offered is excellent. I was thrilled to see the crab udon on the menu, which was rich and satisfying. The staff was friendly and quick to assist with any questions. This will forever be one of my top spots for sushi and udon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Raku is a gem hidden behind a bakery. The experience was fantastic from start to finish. Our waitstaff was attentive, and the food was phenomenal! The crab roe cold udon was out of this world, and their matcha desserts were a perfect finish to our meal. It felt authentic, which is hard to find. This place is highly recommended!
