This Cathedral Heights Japanese restaurant will not disappoint. They have an extensive, diverse menu, and all of it is scrumptious. We started with the butterfly shrimp appetizer. The delicate, lightly fried juicy shrimp had a savory sauce which packed a zesty punch. For my main, I had the grilled ribeye steak. This perfectly cooked ribeye was accompanied by tasty brussels sprouts and pan-seared asparagus all tied together with a creamy and zesty wasabi sauce. My wife and son had a variety of sushi offerings, and they enjoyed every memorable bite. Service was friendly and attentive. Great choice if you are looking for a high quality asian meal.

We came on a Monday lunch so the restaurant was quite quiet. Unfortunately it still took over 30 minutes for our food to arrive. I had the beef donburi which came with a side of udon soup and tempura. The udon soup was delicious but the tempura was cold and the batter was too thick and not crispy. The steak bowl was fine, I needed to ask for extra sauce. It wasn’t bad but there are certainly better Japanese restaurants in the area to try.

Great food, the service is a little bit on the slow side but overall they do a decent job. It’s not really kid friendly but my two-year-old daughter flirted with the waiter and he flirted right back. They both had a good time.
It’s not a bargain, but the prices are fair. Many of their menu items are the exact same at lunch and dinner, but much cheaper at lunchtime.

Raku’s sushi is amazing, especially their sashimi platter, which is incredibly fresh, vibrant in color, and has an excellent texture. The combination of sea urchin and salmon is particularly good, with absolutely no fishy taste. The restaurant’s modern and minimalist decor creates a perfect atmosphere for couples’ dates or business gatherings. The waiters’ recommendations are also excellent, and the dishes are served quickly and at the perfect temperature.

Super delicious rolls and tempura. The miso cod was divine. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion size of the meals.

My husband and I came here for dinner for our anniversary and it was fantastic! It was super busy, so we are happy we booked a reservation. The sushi is so fresh and delicious and the braised pork belly special with shishito peppers was so good! My husband got the pan chicken and. I got the soup with udon noodles, shrimp tempura, sliced beef chicken and veggies. All of it was delicious.

The place was near the National cathedral, very convenient. The place was not crowded during lunch time on a Sunday. The service was good. We tried the katzu and tofu skin roll.

Seaweed salad is delicious. Excellent mussels entree. Pumpkin soup was a bonus. Food is on point. Homemade Ginger Beer was the perfect beverage to accompany the meal.

Delicious food, kind staff, and a great atmosphere. Literally everything – the dumplings, the omelette, the pumpkin soup, the toast, the salad – was superlative. Highly recommended to folks visiting the National Cathedral!

The cuts of fish were great, and the happy hour price was awesome! Great roll options and the menu in general was good!
The bathroom needed to be cleaned/service and I wished I had been asked / check on for more to drink, otherwise everything was perfect!! Would definitely be back!
