I really liked this place! I got three items which totaled up to a little over $50 but the quality was there and the bento box was very filling. I really REALLY liked the roll I got, which was the salmon roll (came with the bento) and the OMG roll. Definitely going to come here again when I revisit Austin 🥳
Excellent, we really liked it.
Kevin and all the others made it a great experience! Vibes immaculate!

Raku Sushi & Asian Bistro is a popular spot near campus that offers a variety of delicious Asian dishes, including sushi. The restaurant features prompt service and friendly staff, making it a favorite for quick, satisfying lunches. The menu includes many options such as fried rice, noodles, shrimp cocktail, Argentinian jumbo shrimp, Cajun seafood boil, Shabu shabu or hot pot, ramen, and a wide selection of sushi. Customers enjoy the mushroom hot pot flavor, especially the fatty beef, which is flavorful and can be dipped into personalized sauces from the station—similar to Haidilao but more affordable. The Green Dragon Roll is often highlighted as a standout.
The takeout options are usually fresh and tasty, though occasionally missing items like sauces. While the restaurant offers hot pot with basic ingredients, it is more known for seafood and sushi. The Cajun snow crab and mussel, along with oysters and fried soft shell crabs, are popular dishes, with seasoning and flavors praised for being on point. Some reviews mention that the steamed crab legs lack flavor and feel waterlogged, but Cajun crab legs are recommended for their flavor and warmth.
Parking can be a challenge, but the overall food quality compensates. Delivery via Uber Eats has faced issues with packaging, and there was a mention of a recent illness attributed to delivery, but generally, the experience remains positive. The prices for children, especially on weekends, are a bit high, but the restaurant continues to draw repeat customers who enjoy the variety and flavor of the dishes. Overall, Raku Sushi & Asian Bistro is a reliable, flavorful, and friendly place to enjoy a quick Asian meal near campus.
