This little place is an absolute jem. Of course great and fresh sushi. But the service is second to none. Li Cheng, who goes by Eric, was one of the best servers I ever had in my life. He is like a lightning bolt; he is nonstop gliding across the dining room. He saw in advance everything we wanted. Unbelievable experience! We will be back. And I suggest you try this place out.

It was the best Japanese food I've ever had! Everything was so fresh, and they even had tons of vegetarian options—which can be hard to find at a sushi spot. I am vegetarian but my husband who had sushi and Duck bun was also very impressed with the food.

Small, outdated space with subpar service. If you advertise yourself as a BYOB, you do not charge your customers a cork fee of $20 for bringing your own bottles of wine to the dinner. A huge red flag among quite a few others in this place. Will never be back there ever again.

Entrance is not well lit, hard to see if they are open during the day. Inside the atmosphere is cozy and soothing. Food is tasty but over priced. Service is great, above my expectations.

Delightful surprise for dinner. Quality Japanese cuisine especially a variety of sushi rolls. Was a patron of its predecessor but Raku surpasses with an interesting and varied menu. We shall gladly return.

The sushi was absolutely delicious but the waitress/hostess was incredibly rude and kind of ruined the experience. The rest of the staff we interacted with were fine.

I'm editing my review. I've been coming here for 10+ years & our last visit was outstanding. The steamed dumplings were so fresh they melted in my mouth, the sushi I ordered was amazing. Highly recommend the pear affair cocktail.

A transcendent experience absolutely the best sushi in New York from not only the most experienced sushi Chefs but only the freshest highest quality I have ever had, BUT THE HIGHEST QUALITY FISH, my local sushi spot has been ruined for me as this place is now a 45 minute drive every Monday (my off day)

The food was like in average Japanese restarant, not bad. The service was bad. After 40 min wait, (we ordered a ramen) a waitress told us"Kitchen has fogotten about your meal, it will be another 15min". The restarant is obviously understaffed one waitress, and the same problem is in the

Great sushi, sashimi and rolls, the fish and seafood is of excellent quality. Plenty of sake choices, I had the Kaisen Chirachi which came well dressed in this beautiful box and it was all very tasty. Both my wife and I enjoyed it all. The atmosphere was very pleasant and they even have small private booths.
