Raku It's Japanese Ii - New York

This restaurant is a hidden gem underground! When you enter, you're greeted by wood-paneled walls and a vibrant sushi bar. We shared a few appetizers, and everything was fresh and served hot! The prices are very reasonable too! The unexpected twist was the country music playing in the background — it created such a unique vibe!

The bento boxes offer great value, and the green tea ice cream that comes with them is rich yet delicious. The sushi is quite flavorful, though it is a bit pricier. All of the entrees, particularly the noodle soups, are very generous portions and well-sauced. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here and would definitely come back.

I’m glad we decided to stop by this Japanese restaurant. The bento boxes offer a great variety at a fantastic price. However, the overall vibe of the place felt a bit too dark and gloomy. Additionally, the restrooms are quite small, which leads me to believe they may not be accessible for individuals with disabilities.

We needed a place to eat after visiting AHNM. This is a ok choice. Salmon was fresh that day, delicious. My son had katsu and the meat was dry. If you are a foodie,skip it. Service was good and staffs were friendly. My sake was good.

I ordered the bento box with the following selections: main chefs choice sushi (7 pieces) side gyoza starter miso soup roll salmon avocado dessert green tea ice cream everything was pretty good overall. the fish was really fresh and atthis price point exceeded my expectations of the quality/flavor. the gyoza and miso soup were also pretty good. the outerskin/shell of the gyoza was nice and thin and the meat inside was juicy and savory. i must say the green tea ice cream was whatwon for me that night. it was so delicious and full of matcha flavor. i am lactose intolerant and it definitely messed up mystomach, but for that ice cream i?d do it all over again. i?d recommend trying them out!
