" I decided to try Raku after hearing great things about it. The food did not disappoint; the sushi was fresh and beautifully presented. However, I had a reservation but still had to wait 30 minutes to be seated, which was frustrating. The decor is lovely, and I enjoyed the balance of lively atmosphere without being too loud. Overall, a solid experience, but I hope they improve their timing. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were really looking forward to our visit to Raku, but it fell short of our expectations. The sushi was decent but not exceptional. I was particularly disappointed with the service. After waiting an unusually long time for our food, I ended up receiving the wrong dish. I hope they can sort out their service issues soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Raku has been a favorite of mine for years. I recently took some friends there, and they fell in love with it too! The bento boxes are always a hit, full of flavor and variety. They even were able to accommodate some dietary restrictions without hassle. A fantastic experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" My dinner at Raku was quite enjoyable. The tempura was crispy and not greasy at all, which I appreciate. I also had a roll that featured eel, and it was expertly done. My only complaint was that dessert options were a little limited. Overall, a great place to eat and relax! " (*Curated Review*)

" Very enjoyable dining experience at Raku. The dishes were all made with high-quality ingredients, and you can really taste the difference. The dim lighting adds a great ambiance for dinner. Some service hiccups were present, but nothing that soured my mood. Will recommend to my friends for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love coming to Raku for their fresh sushi and chill vibes. On my visit, I was lucky enough to catch the happy hour which was a total win. Great drinks and reasonably priced rolls. The only downside was that the happy hour only lasted a couple of hours, but I guess that just means I have to come back more often! " (*Curated Review*)

" Raku has a special place in my heart! It's the place I go when I'm craving sushi, and they always deliver. The quality is consistent, and I enjoy exploring their seasonal rolls. Every time I go, I feel warmly welcomed. I highly recommend their happy hour specials, which are an amazing value. " (*Curated Review*)
