food are great. Maybe is too busy, the service is worst than before. Try to get the waiter attend to refill the teapot for several times but he is all the way at the other end but didn't noticed. I have to hold up the teapot all the way up for awhile, he finally saw it. At the end when we said we finished everything, it took them over 25 minutes to clean up the table. They even bring out the birthday dessert before they finished clean up the table. We always go there for birthday celebration but this time is the worst experience.

Very good service and nice touches at the end for celebration our anniversary. Highly recommend for any celebration/anniversary/birthday.

The food was delicious 😋 but price are little bit high than I expected. Three people for over $132 (including tip) it's little bit too much. As I think but now everywhere is expensive for eating out.

Lunch was disappointing. The prices have increased but the quality and service have declined. It's unfortunate because it used to be so much better.

We used to like raisu a lot. But recently we find the food quality is not as good as before. The sashimi is ok… but not extraordinary. What’s worst is the service … we waited for a very very long time for our food. We asked to refill water for our tea pot… and the waitress forgot about it and we had to remind her after 15 min. We asked for soup refill and we had to ask twice as she forgot as well. We asked for more wasabi and the wasabi they provided was sooooooo tiny. Basically the service was very bad… and we had to wait long for everything. Very disappointed meal.

Absolutely fantastic options of authentic prepared Japanese cuisine. The plum wines, sashimi, octopus wasabi, sushi, prawns are highly recommended.
Food presentation was great and the uni shot was fresh and delicious! But the uni on the rice bowl wasn’t fresh. Servers were very kind.

I shocked myself when I saw I hadn’t written a review for Raisu yet! I’ve gotten made fun of for how much I love this place, but those people are miserable haters. Raisu is the BEST, family friendly and really fun for celebrations (if you’re okay with the serving staff making noise - you get an instax photo which is super cute and often a complimentary dessert).
For appies, the jumbo ebimayo is HUGE but maybe a tad too much batter for carbophobes. The chicken karaage is crispy and yummy with a generous portion. IMO skip the seafood tartar. The takowasabi clears your sinuses in the best way.
Their cooked items are their strong suit. I’d recommend trying the spicy lobster uni cream udon (for a creamy broth), wagyu beef shabu shabu (for a clear broth), ocean offerings (very photo worthy), mixed cutlet teishoku (unlimited rice and miso soup refills!), and the real crab and ikura hitsumabushi (add the uni, it’s worth it). They also have a killer kids combo set and I wish I was/had a kid so I could eat it 😔 cocktails are great too!
Come try, there’s a reason why this place is always booked up.

Raisu has always been my favourite place to celebrate birthdays and anniversary! Good quality, good service. You should make a reservation at least 2 weeks in advance if you want to go there during prime dinner time. I guess the only downside is hard to find parking!

This place is known for their Japanese set meals. If your looking for a real treat, their shokado 9 set tray box is not only very photogenic, but also amazing. You do have to reserve in advance. Unfortunately when I was trying to reserve, I couldn't because they have a limited amount per day. But it still didn't discouraged me from coming. The quality and freshness is top notch. The dollar you are paying is premium, and they delivered premium that night. Our services were fantastic and management is doing a fantastic job. Would I come back again? Yes, and hopefully I can have a shokado box with my name on it 😟
