Raku is a popular restaurant in a lively area of the city, known for its extensive Japanese menu and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant specializes in udon dishes, offering a variety of options. Customers often enjoy the udon with fresh noodles, flavorful broth, and toppings like chicken and mochi, which is similar to tteok. The menu also features dishes such as the Crispy Oshi, Gyoza, Mango Mango Roll, and Egg Drop Udon. The Oyako Don is highly praised for its delicious taste, along with the Gyunan udon made with fresh beef and chewy noodles. The Zura, or cold udon with dipping sauce, is also highly recommended. The restaurant is known for its large serving sizes, often leaving groups unable to finish their meals despite how tasty they are. Service is friendly, and sitting at the bar enhances the authentic Japanese experience, reminiscent of times in Japan. The exterior features a minimalist Japanese aesthetic, and the interior is cozy, though the small size may lead to long waits, especially during peak times. Customers often look forward to returning for the satisfying meals. For dessert, a frozen red grape is served at the end of the meal, providing a refreshing finish. Many find this to be the best udon place in the city.
