Raisu Valentine Day 2026 Special $65 and Lunch Special $30 I was pleasantly surprised they had their valentine day set available beforehand and wanted to give it a try! each dish was great and i felt like you could split this between two people if you have smaller appetites. comes with unlimited rice and miso soup. soup is flavorful and has lots of toppings. fish is fresh and i would get it again to try!
Lunch Special - quite worth it because it’s good value - chicken and ebi mayo with sashimi!

Fantastic dining experience as always! The food is fresh, beautiful, creative, and delicious! The ambiance is contemporary, casual, and fun. The service is impeccable! Highly recommend.

I have dined at Raisu many times and was surprised this visit by the poor service. It was partly due to a power failure at their location that began not long before our arrival. They were able to continue serving only some of item on the menu, which was disappointing, but we stayed because there was no other option. While the quality of food remained excellent as usual, the attentiveness of service was poor. There were very few clients in the restaurant at the time, so them problem was not because it was busy. It took on unacceptable length of time to learn what remained available on the menu. Receiving standard items, like water and rice were requested several times. It's doubtful that this problem was due to the power outage, but rather to our specific server, who was polite and pleasant, but not organized or attentive. People at my table noticed that tables with a different server were receiving complementary desserts to compensate for the limited menu. We did not. I'm sure the problem will be resolved. This restaurant remains one of my favourites and it pains me to give it a poor review this time.

The food is delicious and the service is amazing! It's really expensive though so I probably won't come back very often.

So amazing. It’s our wedding anniversary. I didn’t expect much — I just mentioned it briefly when I booked the table. I didn’t expect the staff to come out with a dessert that said “Happy Anniversary” and take photos for us and even get a hard copy for us. We were so surprised and happy Thank you very much!

What surprised me most about Raisu was how many different Japanese foods I got to try in just one visit. The sashimi and sushi looked like little pieces of art and tasted super fresh, almost like I was eating in Japan. The noodles and rice bowls were warm and full of flavour, and I could tell the ingredients were good quality. Many people go there to celebrate birthdays with friends because the team makes it feel special, and on some nights the place was lively and fun with lots of happy guests. The servers explained the menu in a friendly way which helped me pick things I liked, even when some dishes sounded new to me. By the end of the meal I felt full and excited to come back again another time to try something new.

Been here four times now, and it never disappoints. Such a unique flavour with great-quality food and service!
I spent more than double on a meal last weekend that didn’t even touch the meal I had at Raisu yesterday. Honestly.
All of the items on the menu pair so well together you can’t go wrong. We ordered: Tako wasabi (x2 after we tasted the first one, I think it’s the best I’ve ever had) Hamachi and albacore sashimi w sushi rice (we went off script and used some nori to make little hand rolls. Uni cream and real crab udon with Ikura - WOW. so delish and so beautiful. Hell chicken - this was dessert Sake flight (I loved trying the red sake!) Before tip it was $115. Unreal.
Our servers were so attentive, they were able to wrap the whole experience into a tight 45 mins. The atmosphere and energy in raisu is so fun.
Overall one of the best meals I’ve had as far as I can remember. Thank you Raisu!! We will be back soon.

This is my sister's go-to spot in Van and now I get it. The servers recognise her and genuinely make you feel welcome. Atmosphere is beautiful very cinematic Japanese feel. Balcony or indoors, you can't lose. I went with the hamachi sashimi and atka mackerel lunch special and wasn't disappointed. Their specialty cocktails are worth trying too. Perfect for out-of-towners looking for something special.

Had such an amazing dinner at Raisu! Everything we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious, especially the sashimi and the wagyu bowl.
We had a wonderful time and the service was truly the highlight of the night. Special thank you to Kyoka Masaini for taking such great care of us, you were so friendly, attentive, and made our dinner extra enjoyable. We really appreciate it!
