Review Summary

RAKU is described as a small, cozy Japanese spot where diners enjoy authentic, well priced dishes such as Tonkotsu ramen, Yakisoba, Katsudon, pork katsu curry, takoyaki, and karaage don. Reviews praise the pork and chicken for a crispy exterior and moist interior, and the curry sauce is highlighted as rich and comforting, with portions generous and prices fair. Service is described as warm and attentive, with friendly staff and a welcoming ambience that many feel suits the place, and the music is noted as fitting the vibe. Some comments note a recent price increase on pork katsu that disappointed loyal customers, and a few critiques mention fatty portions, ordinary rice or sauce in some dishes, or dishes arriving cold. Overall, the consensus is that the food is delicious and affordable, prompting many to say they would return to RAKU.

Love the chicken katsu. So delicious! Not pricey at all. Regular small place. No vibe. Support local restaurants! It's the kind of place you go to after school or work to eat.

Never a disappointing service, quick efficient & tasty katsu, kaarage that's slightly sweet & well balanced.

Great food, amazing wings. A bit of a bummer that the door has not protection so it's freezing inside when it is outside. I don't enjoy eating with a jacket on, but the food was great.

I paid extra for the karaage curry, as well as a tuna & mayo onigiri & a Ramune bottle. The karaage curry cost me 18 CAD before tax, & what I got was incredibly disappointing for what I paid. The chicken was slightly flavorful, but it was neither crispy nor very juicy. The rice felt pasty, & the curry was under-seasoned. It looked like what I would toss up in the kitchen if I just cooked rice imperfectly, added a bit of under-seasoned store-bought curry & called it a day. The tuna & mayo onigiri was decent, which is why I am giving 2 stars instead of 1. This is not worth the money at all, I can spend even less & get higher-quality chicken, rice & veggies. As for the Ramune, it's Ramune. Maybe I ordered delivery late, but the quality for the price is not acceptable.

Commande à emporter sans utensiles ou serviette. Coquille d'oeuf au moment de mâcher, poulet de mauvaise qualité. L'endroit avait plus de qualité pendant la covid.

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!

Food was good, but the portion was quite small. Not served with veggies & no option an add even when paying extra, I had gotten used to these back in Japan.
