Raku is one of my favorite places -- the space is beautiful, the food excellent, and the prices very reasonable. I love their lunchtime bento boxes, and the noodle soups are a warm and comforting food for these cold winter days. I also appreciate the validated parking at the near-by garage under the Giant and the fact that the waiter brings the credit card machine to your table (no sending your card off with your server). The place can get noisy, so if hearing is a problem for you, go early!

Reasonably priced and well-prepared food and very good service. My only complaint was that the dining room was noisy, but that seems par for the course these days.

My only complaint is that the drinks were slow in c oming. I think the problem was that the drink order was taken by someone who was not the person who turned out to be our server, and I think the order got lost. Otherwise it was another great meal at Raku.

Overall very good. Service is very efficient but a little too quick on follow ups with little time to choose, main delivered while in middle of appetizers. prefer more relaxed.

Feels more like an eating experience rather than a dining one. The food is great; the experience does not feel special. Needs comfortable chairs, nicer menus, better lighting - service in a more artful way.

Food outstanding! Extremely flavorful, excellently prepared prepared, and hot dishes served hot from the stove. Waitress needed to listen a little harder.
Would appreciate more fans on the covered patio and windows that open.

Loved the food and prices and everyone was so nice. Only thing was I asked specifically if we could sit in the little glass houses and they were all completely empty and we were not seated there but I didn’t want to make a fuss thank you!

It is hard to rate ambiance fairly when the only safe choice is sitting on a "patio" next to a multi-lane major street in a busy city. But Raku does its best, and it is nice to have an on-site dining experience with friends. Food was great, as usual. Thank you.

I'll be back. Although I've lived in the neighborhood for over 1 year, this was my first visit to Raku. Food was innovative and tasty. Wait staff seemed a little annoyed that we were there. But overall a good experience.

Service was fast. However, service was of low quality. The server was not friendly. Dishes from the meal were left on the table, even though we were being served dessert. Also, I wanted a candle in the cake slice, for my daughter's birthday. I had asked this request when I reserved online. Also, I went and asked a server to make sure it got done. However, it wasn't done.

Two suggestions: bring back more green vegetables, including broccoli, in delicious red curry soup and bring back larger chicken pieces in radicchio and Napa salad. I love Raku, flavors and large variety of options. Need cloth napkins or higher quality. Thanks.
