Bon curri japonais, petite carte, bien maîtriser, simple. Comfort food.

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.

Japanese curry, rice & pork for delivery

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.

The chicken sandwich at lunch is great but it takes a while & the phone number doesn't work so you can't call ahead.

nourriture assez bonne mais service désagréable, c'est dommage

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.
