I recommend this place for a quick lunch when you are in the area. The staff is very friendly, the food is very good. Try their ramen and sashimi. I visited it twice already and each time my experience was very good. The prices are very decent as well.

Came here for a light meal before visiting the museum. The staff was friendly and helpful, recommending some of the best sellers. Had the millionaire signature roll, nabeyaki udon and a bottle of beer. The signature roll was lightly sweet, cruchy and delicious. The udon was warm and hearty. Great meal!

I had an amazing solo date at Raku, and I can’t recommend it enough! The food was incredible, from the fresh sushi to the delicious sides, everything was on point. The customer service was equally fantastic—the employees were friendly, attentive, and made me feel so welcome. If you’re looking for a great sushi spot with an inviting atmosphere, Raku is definitely the place to go! Highly recommended.

This is one of my favorites for sushi rolls in the city when I’m feeling like something a bit more creative than the traditional salmon or tuna. They have a wide selection, always very fresh, and reasonably priced. Plus the staff here are just all super friendly and nice. A winning combo that keeps me coming back!

Stopped in here for lunch and they Ave a great lunch special that comes with a soup or salad. Sushi was super fresh and each roll was a nice size. Ginger dressing was the best I’ve ever had. Service was excellent and everyone was friendly. Definitely a solid find on the Upper West Side on 76 and Columbus.

I randomly found this gem of a Japanese place while looking for cheap eats. I was not expecting such good quality food for the price. The scallop teriyaki was fantastic, the fillet mignon was perfectly cooked, and their lunch special sushi roll combos were very filling and great quality for the price. For appetizers, we tried the yellowtail jalapeno and mixed mushrooms, both of which were superb. I'll definitely visit again when I'm in Manhattan.

It was a cold day, so we wanted some hot ramen. The spicy miso ramen was made from chicken broth instead of the usual pork broth and thus tasted a little less rich than expected. Broth was too salty for me... but the braised meat was nice and tender. Tables and seats were a little tight so it wasn't very comfortable.

It's a nice little restaurant with great service. I had the bento box for lunch and it was delicious!

A nice spot for sushi. Portions were decent. Fish was fine. Nothing out of the ordinary and I like the Shrek roll, but it was still a little bit bland. I would come back and I definitely think that it’s a good spot if you live in the area.

We went to Raku fir dinner durin the week. We had two bento boxes with tonkatsu and assorted sushi. And my husband has udon soup. The portions were quite generous but the food wasn't that tasty. I like a lot the cozy environment and the kindness of the staff. Great position!

This restaurant is NOT the same as the Raku that’s known for their udon. We only realised after we’d waited half an hour for our table and were given the menu. The food was ok, nothing special. The bento box was good value for money, but there are definitely better options in the city for sushi. If you live in the neighbourhood, I can understand enjoying having this restaurant as your local, but as a tourist, it was a waste of a meal. The biggest issue we had was that we were seated by the back of the restaurant where the toilet was located and we kept getting unpleasant smells every time the bathroom door opened.

The sushi was good. However I was with a group and they ordered more things than me and agreed to tip on my behalf after we all split the bill evenly. I was charged a 20% tip regardless and when I called they said they couldn’t do anything about it. I hate to leave a one star, but technically they stole money from me and added a tip on top of my bill even though the entire group tipped 25%. Do better, it’s not a good look! At the very least, you can apologize. Now your entire rating goes down and someone will read this review and decide not to spend money because there are tons of places who don’t do this to customers.
