The Raku has quickly become my favorite spot for weekend brunch. Tucked away in a charming garden setting, this cafe offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Awesome food and great service.

It tastes good, but why bother if it comes from Korea or Japan? But there is no food like this at this price. I come here often. If you come without a reservation or without an open run, there will be a wait. Mackerel sushi is a must...

Raku in SoHo dishes out some seriously tasty udon! I went for the Niku Udon, which came loaded with juicy beef chunks. Plus, they add intestines to the noodles – a unique touch! ? The beefy soup gave me serious Thai beef boat noodle vibes, and the udon noodles were perfectly chewy. A must-try if you're in the area! ?

Searching for places to eat in the local area and this place popped up. I don’t normally leave reviews but I feel compelled as the food was absolutely exquisite.

beyond beautiful and delicious. Very well priced, great atmosphere, absolutely recommended. be prepared for a long wait.
We waited for an hour before entering the restaurant. However, they led us to a very inappropriate seat. It was at the end of a table, and in fact, it was not even a place that was used as seating for guests. I saw the staff bringing chairs to make it look like a seat. It was such a narrow seat that if I had been a little fatter, it would have been impossible to sit. I couldn't even stretch my legs properly. (Because it wasn't a real seat, it was just a makeshift, absurd place!!) I even saw other empty seats, but the manager told me there was no seat and I should either wait longer or just sit down.Since I was already seated and had waited a long time, I just went along with it, but I wouldn't have felt so bad if I had waited longer from the beginning and sat in a better seat. The food was delicious. But this kind of service is really disappointing.

My favorite udon in NYC. Fresh and authentic. The noodles are always the perfect texture. Would definitely need a reservation in advance for a table.
Really solid udon, I normally don't like udon but this place was great. The cold udon with tempura was soo delicious! The gyoza and chicken karage were okay.
