  • I read a lot of reviews and knew this was a place to visit. We first tried to visit it last Saturday right when they opened at 6pm. "No reservation?? Sorry -- no openings until after midnight!" Wow. I guess that makes sense since there are only about 10 tables in the entire joint. I felt like a rejected girlfriend. I needed to get in now. But with two kids -- what are the chances that my babysitter and an opening at Raku align!??! Low and behold -- it was tonight. We made a reservation for 8:30pm after a networking event. They were booked up but gave us the counter over the phone. We arrived 30 minutes early hoping we could work our way in. They sent us to the "bar" first. The bar is just that -- a walnut, natural wood bar. But there was no bartender or booze there. You just wait until it's time while propping your elbow up on the walnut. Luckily, we didn't wait long (otherwise, the non-bar "bar" would have made me mad!). Plus, we were seated at a REAL table (not the counter). Usually, I would prefer the counter (a la sushi bar) but this one was just a counter without action to watch. I think the only main advantage to the counter is to socialize with other diners (which I might add all seem to be really cool, smart people -- a rare find for so many in one location in Vegas!). We didn't know what to order but took a few recommendations from other YELP reviews. I can't remember the intricate names of each -- but here's my layman's descriptions of our highlights: -hot asparagus with crunchy coating (my favorite thing EVER. Economical and AWESOME). -Blue Fin sashimi ( a pricey special at $25 - but some of the best sashimi I've ever had) -Agedashi Tofu (it really is an amazing, almost dessert-like treat in a savory broth) -Yellowtail skewers. I usually think it is a shame to cook yellowtail - but I didn't feel that way this time around. -Butter scallop - it was okay, but not as special as the other items. -Green tea creme brulee. THE BOMB. A great finish to the evening. I thought all of these reviews were hype - I'm happy to say I was wrong. Every moment I spent dining at Raku has made me a better person. I will talk about this experience nonstop to my peers. If you like Japanese food, you NEED to go here to make yourself a better person.
