| - If you are a lover of Japanese food, you should probably eat here. I am a complete sushi snob. Prior to finding raku, there was a whopping *1* sushi restaurant that I could eat at without gagging at some point (I heart you, Yasu). Anyways, on a recent trip to Vegas I stumbled across these reviews on Yelp and we decided to give it a try.
Now, this was our day 0, and really weren't in a condition to eat anywhere but In-and-Out. However, not wanting to miss this opportunity, we jumped in a cab and made our way over to China Town. I am glad we did, as my list of favorite Japanses restaurants has grown to 2.
They have an extensive cold sake menu, we chose an unfiltered bottle recommended by our waitress. For dinner we had the sashimi salad, a variety of fish carpaccios, the lamb chops, the foie gras, wagyu carpaccio, hamachi kama....I am sure I am missing a few. For those of you wondering, the two of us spent about $250 for dinner (but a pretty expensive botfle of sake contributed to that).
Regardless, the food is exceptional. I fell like a bit of a schmuck now for not making it off the strip in previous visits.
