Raku - Table reservation

Raku is a hidden gem in China town off the strip. An unassuming place with one small dining room and private rooms. We came for dinner and while curious about the Omakase tasting menus, thought the price was a little high and decided to order our own courses. The waitress was quite helpful responding to questions and providing info to navigate the menu. We had the Koshino Kanbai sake and it was a nice mild drink. We started with the crispy fried shrimp and I must say we were not fans. It comes out very hot, greasy from the oil, and in the shell. Its quite a mess to pull the shell off without any utensils and while the shrimp is good there was not a lot of flavor too it. This was about the only thing we didn't love. We had the Popeye salad and really enjoyed it, very savory flavors. The blue fin tuna sashimi was very fresh and tasty. Really liked the flavor of the Agedashi tofu with its sauce and mushrooms. The direct flamed eggplant was ok. The grilled salmon was quite good. We had several Kobe beef filet with wasabi skewers and liked the tender flavorful meat. Overall, quite a great place and meal with fresh tasty ingredients grilled just right. Nice, calm setting away from the noise of the casino's, its like you are transported to Japan. Would definitely come back.

Totally NOT worth the money for the meal. My friend recommended this place. Cost $215 per person for dinner or $1720. we ended up going out for another dinner and hope that sums up our experience there. This will be our first and last time dinning there. Even the quality of the food is medium and the wagu beef that they claimed was so so, and have waste that can't consume. Are they really wagu beef? Very small portions but nicely plated, services are acceptable. They only have one restroom for both sex and each time have to wait in line for using the restroom. Eat at your own risk.

One of the best dining experiences in Las Vegas. Let’s just say the food is incredible. Go try it yourself. I don’t want to spoil it for you. If I could have given them 20 stars I would. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
