Less menu than other locations but the food is as good! Quick and good service!
Delicious ramen, large portions, and pretty wooden interiors with booth or counter seating.
This location is small. Niku udon: chewy noodles and flavorful broth. One piece of meat was good; others were too dry or fatty.
Shrimp tempura was slightly oily but good. Shrimp is soft and bouncy, but I wanted larger pieces.

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 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.
The menu features a variety of udon dishes, including the popular Niku Udon Spicy, which comes loaded with beef short ribs, honeycomb tripe, and tendo, creating a rich and hearty mix. The ebiten hot udon is a simple yet elegant dish, featuring perfectly chewy noodles, crisp tempura, and a refreshing umeboshi (Japanese fermented plum) to finish the meal. The agedashi tofu and yasai kakiage (vegetable tempura) have also been praised for their excellent execution. While the vegetarian broth option may be a bit pricey, the overall quality and flavor of the dishes make Raku a standout choice for udon enthusiasts.
