I love raku for their extensive selection of delicious rolls with MJ being one of my faves I often return to. I’ve now been to this and their UWS and think I prefer the UWS one. Both are good but I feel like the execution is just a bit better at the other location.
Raku means “happy” in Japanese, and let me tell you something, happy doesn’t even begin to cover the emotional rollercoaster my tastebuds went on. By the time we left, I was basically one “Domo arigato” away from moving to Tokyo and becoming a sushi monk.
We ordered four rolls — Crazy Dragon, Sakura, Rainbow, and California — and each one was like a different chapter of the greatest novel never written. The Crazy Dragon? An absolute fever dream...

We ordered udon noodles and veg tempura. Was disappointed with tempura which looked like nuggets soaking in oil rather that crispy thin batter as you would expect. Udon tasted clean and good.
