" My family and I visited Raku Sushi on a Saturday night, and it was a great experience. The place was bustling but the atmosphere was lively. I ordered their signature Tiger roll and a bowl of ramen. Both dishes were full of flavor and well-prepared. The staff were very friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. I highly recommend the miso soup as well; it was the best I’ve had. We will definitely be back for another family outing! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a sub-par experience at Raku Sushi. The fish in my roll seemed a bit off, and I didn't receive the sauces I asked for. The wait for our food was also longer than expected. On a positive note, the ambiance was lovely. I hope they can tighten up their service for a better future visit. " (*Curated Review*)
