This place was so nice! We showed up super late with a large party and they were able to seat us quickly, and then when we mentioned we were in a hurry they were so amazing and brought the courses so quickly! The food was awesome, I loved the yuzu marshmallows the most. I'm definitely going to go back when I get a chance.

This is a fantastic place and an experience!If you can, seat at the bar, where you can watch how the deserts are prepared. It is an art work. Deserts are delicious.Get the desert "set" to try fits course desert and second. You will understand once you are there. They have great wine ? as well and small savory bites. In season the wait could be long. But it is worth the wait. This is a tiny place. Be patient, polite and make friends with other people while you waiting.We loved the Luna and Haru, and mango ice Cream and chocolate puff pastry .Everything was delicious ?

If you are a sweet tooth this is your must try place. Every dessert was delicious and so joyful to enjoy them fresh. They also have bar area where you can watch them to make dessert. Cute little store and we will definitely be back here again! Highly recommended this location!

This place can give you a nice experience of watching the chef to make your dessert in front of you. The staff were nice and friendly. Service time was reasonable since there was a lot of work to make the presentation look perfect.I think the taste of the desserts was just okay... I was not too impressed with the flavor or texture. The price was kind of expensive that I paid for the presentation. In brief, the desserts were great but pricey.Overall, this is a nice place for hanging out or dating if you have a higher budget.

There's nothing better than exquisite dessert made right in front of you! ❤️ Sweets Raku delivers on ambiance, food and service. We just came from dinner and my sweet tooth needed something delicious, and we came here. We got lucky by snagging the last two seats on the counter! There's not a lot of seats in the restaurant, I believe it was 11/12 seats on the counter and 3 tables with 4 seats each. We arrived on a Sunday at 5pm. As we were looking at the menu, we were entertained with torched brulee, puff pastry baking in the oven, and desserts being stocked in the front window at the entrance. We ordered the Luna ($20) and the apple dessert ($15). The Luna was so delicious- it was served in a tall martini glass, layered with custard, fresh strawberries and cake. It was topped with a crispy sugar crust, fresh slices of strawberries, and a strawberry gelato. Oh and I can't forget the edible sugar spoon! My other half had the apple dessert with a puff pastry crust served with vanilla ice cream and sugar floss on top. Both beautiful presentations! I definitely want to come back to try the Mt Fuji dessert. 10/10. Happy Eats ✌️

Authentic Japan desserts. They make it in front of you to see the detail and art of desert. Not too sweet but nice balance. Come here every time visiting Las Vegas

Small gem! I’m so glad that I found this dessert spot. The limited menu varies but it was so delicious. We did the sweet set, sitting at the bar, we were able to watch them make it.

Who is rating 4 and below??? Who is complaining about the prices? The quality of their sweets are rarely high quality even compared to some of sweets restaurants in Japan. (I am Japanese. Foods at most Japanese restaurants in the U.S. are just OK or so so to me) If you see how they make, how they prepare, $15-20 are reasonable.

Make sure you get the dessert that is freshly made at the counter! The prepared one sits too long and texture was changed. Really love the interior. We ordered spring mountain, mascarpone tart and mango sorbet, everything was delicious. Just not appreciate that they didn’t let us know the minimum $12 per person requirement before we ordered.

I visited Las Vegas in summer and was craving for a good dessert. My research showed that Sweet Rake is very highly rated so I decided to go here. The restaurant is tucked between other restaurants in a strip mall. The parking is very limited but I street parked nearby. The restaurant is very small - only few tables and there's a 'bar' seating facing the prep area. Since I came alone, I was seated at the further down of the bar seating. However, the server always checked on me and never forget me (excellent service!).I ordered Sweet raku dessert set with vanilla cream puff as the 1st and Spring mountain as the 2nd. The chefs and staffs assembled the desserts as the order came.- Vanilla cream puff: the cream puff was light and airy. The vanilla cream is superrrr goooddd! It was just a tad sweet and I could really taste the vanilla. The raspberry sauce gave good balance of sourness to cut the fat in the cream.- Spring mountain: star of the show! The large amount of pistachio cream was surprisingly not too much and delicious! It tasted slightly nutty pistachio and a tad sweet. The raspberry mousse complemented the pistachio cream so well as it was light and gave a good balance of sourness. The chocolate sponge cake was rich yet it was light in texture. The pie crust was crunchy and flaky (it was ok for me as I don't really like pie). The raspberry sauce cut the richness of the cream and acted as a palate refresher.I am still impressed with the quality & the craft that were put into these dessert. Yes, it was a bit expensive 'just' for dessert, but at least I tried one of the best desserts.
Amazing presentation and amazing sweets. Not too sweet but just perfect! So clean and sophisticated. Great service too!

Open since 2013, always try to eat here for any Vegas trip. It's delightful. Has the chocolate cream puff and sweet mountain along with sangria. Took home some candied almonds.

Hands down the best dessert in Las Vegas. Of course offSpring Mountain Rd where all the good stuff is."Raku"means enjoyment and pretty much sums up myexperience with this Japanese French Style dessert.Presentation food quality.I had the Mt. Fuji, a fluffy sponge cake with chestnutspaste and chestnuts, covered with chestnuts cream.Served withHennessy ice cream & cinnamon cookies. Deliciously lightand rich at the same time. Heaven.I wish I could have remembered the name of the Panacotta dish I ordered with so many different flavors ofexcellence, but you know how Vegas goes. The night wentfast and here I am writing this review weeks later.They also do wine pairing/tasting menu which lookedpretty impressive. The prices are affordable too. Parkinglot can get packed so it may be better to just take an Uber.
