Food was really good! I cant remember exactly the name of the udon I got but it had snow crab in it. It was a little salty until I fully mixed everything together so definitely mix mix lol and then for dessert we also had the soba pudding which was great - not too sweet and I liked the crunch on top! They did keep asking our table if we were done and we felt a little rushed to finish toward the end and they took a while at the beginning to come get our orders but generally food was good

Phenomenal udon. Definitely a top restaurant for 2025! Coming back here. I got the hot crab udon and vegetable tempura. They got us seated within 20 minutes which was pretty quick considered they were fully booked and it was a walk-in.

My second time at @rakunyc and I enjoyed my cold zaru udon a lot more than the hot udon I’ve had last time! Got an add-on veggie tempura but sadly they were not hot anymore when they came to me.
Had a bite of the buta shabu and I liked the grilled flavors of the sliced pork a lot!

Great udon restaurant. The noodles are so chewy. Broth tasted fresh and flavor was great. The tofu appetizer was perfect, as well.
Definitely recommend and would definitely come back.

Amazing udon noodle. It’s one of the best. Great texture and feel. However the flavor of broth and seasoning could use tweaking. I do recommend the chicken tatsuta age!

Raku you are absolutely fantastic, I had an incredible experience here today. What an excellent find. I have to admit, I am in love with Raku. Delightful menu items at friendly prices, great mood to unwind at. Amazing service, nice mood. The staff is nice and the place itself is pleasing. Each and every single item that we have purchased was very fresh and tasty. Every single thing was fresh, healthy, and really tasty. Everything was so tasty. Team are extremely helpful and service is really fast. The staff is fabulous; accommodating every request with a smile. Team so very kind, fun, and accommodating. I can't praise Raku enough. So happy I gave Raku a try. Done.

Delicious Udon and Katsu don 10/10 quality ingredients and made with love. The noodles seem home made, chewy and so nice. Staff very friendly and restaurant is very pretty and clean!!!!! Really flavorful and the soup made me feel really good. Will come back definitely.
We were brought here by my friend who is a local, this is his girlfriend’s favorite restaurant.
I ordered the yaki (vegetarian style) and my wife the toriten (chicken on the side so it doesn’t get soggy).
I thought the chicken from the toriten was amazingly juicy. The yaki was really flavorful with a tomatoey sauce, and the cabbage in it was fresh and crunchy.
My wife really enjoyed the seaweed broth from the toriten soup.
Big portions too, lots of noodles.

Best ever!! Thanks Raku

Great vibes, our service was great. The Ebiten, plum wine and Apple juice was really nice but didn’t blow me away. The Agedashi Tofu was my favorite dish of the evening. Worth a visit

Udon soups were super oversized! Come hungry! Lovely service too.

The restaurant was tiny and my expectation was so so, but the udon was sooooo good! The udon noodle itself was chewy and the soup was really tasty! Appetizers were good too!
I gave a 4 star for the atmosphere because it was a bit loud inside
