Authentic tasting Japanese home favorites including donburi & curry. I don't have any complaints about the food & experience as well as the value, my only recommendation is to put the takoyaki on a plate instead of bowl so they dont get soggy on the bottom ;) thanks for the katsu & oyakodon!

Great, attentive service with a relaxed atmosphere. Honestly, the food was rather average compared to other restaurants that specialize in Japanese curry & katsu.

Cozy spot to enjoy some great Japanese food. Price are cheap but really good quality & big portions, big fan of their tonkatsu. I tried delivery but wanted to try in person & happy to have done so! If you're in the area is worth a try.

A small & quaint place serving delicious Japanese dishes. I had the pork Katsu, a crispy AF pork cutlets over rice, served with an addicting savoury sauce & salad with some pickled radishes. The only issue I had was that I went during one of the hottest days of the year, & they basically just left the door open, with minimal or no air conditioning, pleading for a breeze to blow in. I'll go back, but next time hopefully it won't be a sweltering hell of a day.

Simple but delicious Japanese rice dishes, Raku is the place to go if you're craving comfort food. We came by close to closing time so they ran out of chicken karaage. The service could be better as the restaurant was full & there were only 2 people taking orders & cooking. I feel bad because they had to also take care of deliveries on their own.
