| - Our hosts recommended that we get Japanese "tapas" at this locale for dinner one night, and boy, were we glad we agreed. Raku is actually just a few doors down from Monta Noodle House, where I had eaten for lunch just earlier...so it was a familiar scene.
We didn't go until 11 at night, and about half an hour after we were seated, more and more people kept coming through the doors and getting seated.. This place is definitely a late night spot for many...and it wasn't even party kids or anything, several were much older guests. Good food is good food, I guess, regardless of age.
Well, onto our meal...we were definitely not disappointed. Had a tofu dish, i forget what it's called, the foie-gras with egg-custard(which was okay, I'd rather have the foie-gras ), Custard with scallop, and the kobe beef tendon, bacon-wrapped tomato, chicken thigh, and a few other things I can't remember, but almost everything was good. The Kobe tendon was actually pretty good, but the size of the tendon on the skewer plus the texture might not be appealing to many. I liked it tho. Meal for about 4 people only cost us $70 total, so it wasn't bad at all. But seeing the various items on the menu, this place can get costly, but it would be just like if you were ordering various pieces of sushi from a sushi bar. You get what you pay for.
Our server was very helpful in recommending various items and we were satisfied without overstuffing our selves.
Parking - pretty spacey, and I'm sure this place can get pretty packed also.
This entire area (pretty much considered China town) has a ton of restaurants, so I'ma have to go venturing again in the future.
