Raku is a must-visit for udon lovers, offering amazing, chewy noodles and flavorful broths in a cozy and intimate setting. The gyunan beef broth is a standout, perfectly combining sea and beef flavors. The portion sizes are generous, and outdoor seating is available. The tempura is crispy and fresh, enhancing the udon experience. Customers have praised the niku udon for its delicious and not too heavy broth, while the noodles have been described as perfectly bouncy and smooth. The yaki nasu (fried eggplant) is a unique addition that complements the warm udon soups well. The restaurant provides a delightful touch by serving frozen grapes at the end of the meal as a palate cleanser. Service is friendly and attentive, with a modern and clean interior design. Reservations are recommended as the restaurant fills up quickly during peak hours. Don't miss out on trying the cold udon (zaru) for a refreshing choice. The broth was exceptional, a light yet complex flavor profile. The niku udon broth was amazing, very refreshing but rich. The curry wagyu beef udon is yum. The seating is pretty tight. Price to performance is amazing. Sake pours are fair and pair well with the dishes. Service is 10 out of 10! Overall very good experience!
