I had pork katsu curry & takoyaki. They were authentic, very tasty & reasonably priced. I'll definitely go back & try other things. I did a takeout so I don't know about dining experience.

EXQUISITE!
This was an absolutely exquisite experience from start to finish. I ordered the curry pork & takoyaki, my mom had the tonkatsu, & every dish was unbelievably delicious - deeply flavorful, perfectly balanced, & cooked to perfection. Every bite was rich, comforting, & incredibly satisfying.

The food arrived impressively fast, yet the quality never felt rushed. You can truly taste the care, precision, & passion in the cooking. The service was just as outstanding: warm, attentive, & genuinely welcoming, making the entire experience even more enjoyable.

From the incredible taste & beautiful presentation to the efficiency & hospitality, everything was flawless. We loved every single bite & left completely impressed. I'm honestly just sad I don't live in Montreal - I would be here all the time!

DELICIOUS. Congratulations on such amazing food & service.

With love from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

The curry katsu here is delicious! As well their service is great. I ordered: Curry udon TonKatsu with curry The curry here is a must its great. Not only that the pork kastu i got was so crispy & it goes so well with the curry. I wish they had a bit more curry though i felt it wasn't enough ti go with the rice. Other than that i recommend coming here!

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.

the food was honestly just fine, it wasn't outstanding by any means but wasn't bad either, although i did find the pork to be quite dry. we came on a weekday lunch & were very surprised to find ourselves alone there, there was only one staff member & he didn't look too pleased to be there, interactions were very brief & felt tense. since the restaurant is located on a somewhat remote street, we felt quite awkward to be the only ones there with a guy that didn't seem happy at all. overall, it wasn't bad, the service could've been better, i personally don't think i'd return.

If you are looking for a good value comfort food that opens late on weekdays. Raku is your best choice! 🌟📌Curry Pork with Rice The sweet & relatively mild flavour of curry served on a bed of white rice. The pork cutlet is crispy outside but tender inside. My favourite dish from Raku. 📌Garlic Soy Chicken Wings Lip-smacking decent Korean chicken wings!
